[Q] UI Update on 2.3.6 Stock ROM?

---

NOTE: it's not ICS. Don't get too excited.

So, I noticed a few days ago (last Friday, I believe) that my mom's Skyrocket (entirely stock, 2.3.6) had received an OTA update, and some of the UI elements had changed. Among the changes I noticed are:

• The swipe to unlock screen no longer swipes, but displays a circle centered at the initial touch point that expands to ~2x its diameter as the user swipes.
• The incoming call screen now has similar circles for the call/answer buttons, as opposed to the swipe tabs in previous ROMs. (it looks a lot like the Note's UI)
• The icon for the default phone dialer now has a 3x3 grid in the background.

I'm sure there are other ones I haven't noticed. However, my rooted Skyrocket running 2.3.5 (which, ironically, is newer than hers by almost 6 months) hasn't gotten anything, leading me to believe it's a 2.3.6 update only. Doing an update scan on both phones yields nothing.

Has anyone else noticed this, or did my mother's phone just take a long time to get an update most other people already have?

PS: I'll post build info a bit later, when I can take another look at the phone.

So, it's already been available for a while? If so, since when?

It's been put out, 3 times, I think. Pulled twice, IIRC. Last one must of been fairly recently, maybe a month ago. I don't remember.

UCLA3, It's been out since March maybe even February :P
Since NexusMod 4 came out, and that was a while ago.
At least you tried

Heh. I had a feeling it wasn't something terribly new. Though, whenever I tried to Google it, I got a plethora of pages with people making googly eyes at the ICS ROM and thought I might have had something.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

From my experience,

coming from 2.3.5, then 2.3.6, then 4.0.3 and most recently 4.0.4, 2.3.6 UCLA3 was the most stable ROM so far and it's the one I always come back to when a new ROM gets kooky on me.

Keep a zip of it on your SD card.

Doesn't it disable a lot of system menus like *#*#4636#*#*?

Yep sure does. Its the regular ucla3 update. Latest one that works when upgrading. No scrollable wallpaper.
