‘Dreams’ screensaver gives Ice Cream Sandwich a touch of flamboyance

‘Dreams’ is a screensaver that has been lying hidden in the ICS OS. Recently discovered, it is accessible to users through Launcher Pro; it is not found on the regular wallpaper menus of Android 4.0 devices like the Galaxy Nexus. A tad showy, it is actually a fun feature to have on ones phone.

According to Product Reviews, to get your hands on ‘Dreams’ a user needs to install the Launcher Pro app that allows the placement of Activity shortcuts on the home screen.

Then the user needs to find and start the Rocket Launcher app. ‘Dreams’ will thus active on the screen. When ‘Dreams’ is put into play on an Android smartphone, a can see the icons of his device flying past the display screen. In fact, it looks the icons are flying straight at the users face. 

The best part about ICS is that a user can access his phone’s icons while ‘Dreams’ is in action. The trick, of course, is to be fast. On tapping the screen once, the icons slow down.

Once the user catches a glimpse of the desired icon, he has to quickly put his finger on it as it flies past the screen. Smartphone users who enjoying playing with fancy features on their phones will have no trouble perfecting ‘Dreams’.

The only downside of ICS’s new feature is that as a heavy screensaver, it eats up a lot of battery. The best way to enjoy ‘Dreams’ then is to play with it in company, when one wants to show off his super-smart device and still have enough battery to use the phone for its basic function – to talk!
