Android ICS and Myanmar Unicode

Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) ကို UI အသစ်လေးတွေသဘောကျလို့ nook color မှာ စမ်းကြည့်နေတာ။ ကျွန်တော့ Nexus One မှာတော့ MIUI သုံးပါတယ်။

ဘာရယ်မဟုတ်ဘူး။ Font changer နဲ့ မာစတာပိစ်ဖောင့်ပြောင်းပြီး ကြည့်ကြည့်တော့၊ တချို့သဝေထိုးတွေ အစဉ်ပြောင်းတာသွားတွေ့ပါတယ်။ ဝဆွဲတို့၊ ယပင့်တို့နဲ့ တွဲတဲ့ သဝေထိုးတွေ မပြောင်းတာ၊ ရရစ် အစဉ်မပြောင်းတာကြည့်ရင် ယူနီကုဒ် ဗားရှင်းအဟောင်းပေါ် အခြေခံထားဆဲလို့တွက်လို့ရပါတယ်။ စမ်းကြည့်ကြပါဦး။

(စာလုံးစီတာမှားရင် သည်းခံပေးကြပါ၊ ကီးမက်ဂျစ်နဲ့ရိုက်တာအသားမကျသေးလို့ပါ)
