Some of these are a little easier to create than others and many of them can be tweaked to no end. The following details are but the ingredients to which you can create your own delicious Android dish; your results will vary. Which is awesome!

WHY WE LOVE THIS LOOK:

With only one app required, it doesn’t get any easier to create this custom look. Essentially a handful of pre-designed widget templates, these are quick and simple ways to view your clock, weather, battery status and more.

We like that widgets can be used with pretty much any other design or layout and that they’re very clean. Each can enhance your standard Android home screen, regardless of whether you’re running stock Android or a custom launcher.

If for no other reason, download UCCW and grab the UZIP files and kep them tucked away for a rainy day; you’d be surprised how well the grey works with other designs and wallpapers.

Google pushing back release of next version of Android?

With Google I/O 2013 taking place in less than one month’s time (May 15-17), many are expecting Google to announce the next version of Android. Rumored as both v5.0 and Key Lime Pie, it’s widely assumed that a new device will make its debut with the latest release.

New details surfacing today suggest that Google will not release the next iteration of the platform for another couple of months. The reason, according to Gadgetronica, is so that Google’s partners can spend more time with the software. What’s more, the added time should allow for companies to push out Android 4.1 and 4.2 builds to previous devices.

For what it’s worth, a number of sites are reporting that a 32GB version of the Nexus 4 will be introduced with LTE connectivity at Google I/O. Conjecture puts the price tag at $349 with the 16GB model dropping to $299 and the 8GB ultimately getting phased out.
