AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich Theme for your HTC One X
You will need an unlocked bootloader to be able to flash this theme -

AOKP Galaxy Nexus ROM
In conjuction for a slimmed down kernel (links after the break), I’m finding this the best, smoothest and feature rich ROM I’ve tried on my Galaxy Nexus.
Andy’s Ice Cream Sandwich Overview
If you’ve watched the video’s on Ice Cream Sandwich already, I’m not going to lie, you’ll see nothing new here. If you haven’t, this is a compressed version with my own running commentary!
CyanogenMod 7 on Samsung Galaxy SII
A brief look at the most popular custom ROM for Android, now available on the Samsung Galaxy SII.
For more information on this ROM, take a look at this thread on XDA Developers.
CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC1 Released
The biggest ROM on the net has reached version 7.1, providing support for even more devices, enabling them to have a pimped out, highly tuned, feature packed version of Android 2.3.4.
New to the fold is support for a selection of Galaxy S variants, the LG Optimus 2X and the HTC Incredible S. If you have one of these devices and haven’t experienced CyanogenMod before, you really should give it a try. You could take a look at my video of 7.0 to get an idea of what it’s like. Unfortunately, none of my 3 devices are on the supported device list, so I can’t review 7.1.0 for you all…
Check the full change log here or simply head over to the CyanogenMod website to take a look around.
If you’re using 7.1.0, leave us a comment below on how you’re finding it.
Cyanogenmod 7.0 Final
It’s been in the works for some time now, 4 Release candidates and almost hundreds of nightlies later and Cyanogenmod has Final release. Now the wait for 7.1 begins!
CyanogenMod 6.1.0 Makes it to Desire HD
If you’ve never heard of CyanogenMod, then you probably shouldn’t bother reading on. If, like me, you’ve used this ROM on previous phones, it’s very interesting to hear that RaiderX303 from VillainRom has it working on the Desire HD!
The only bug reported is the proximity sensor isn’t working in calls just yet, but apparently everything else works just fine!
The prerequisites to trying this are that you have S-OFF (follow the first part of our guide) and that you have a custom recovery installed. Both can be a little fiddly and also a little risky, but once you’re done, you can flash different ROM’s, back up your entire phone (takes almost a gig of space on you MicroSD mind you!) and lots more!
One of the first things I noticed is the download file is only 100MB, compared to the MoDaCo ROM which is 230MB! I assume because this is a vanilla FroYo ROM, with none of your usual Sense goodness. If this doesn’t sound good to you, stick to what you have!

Galaxy S Voodoo now on FroYo!
It would seem the Galaxy S has that Marmite effect on people. Talk to owners and they either love it, or hate it. One camp might not really understand why the other camp feels this way, so let me break it down a little for you.
Those that hate the SGS is usually about the ‘lag’ you have to content with. If you look at other devices, applications open up quicker than the SGS. Every now and then the device will seem to churn to a stop for maybe 10 to 20 seconds before you can use it again. This gets worse and worse the more apps you add, due to the issue with the file system used by Samsung. There are a variety of fixes out there, for me, the best by far is the Voodoo fix.
I have this fix running on the latest JM9 (2.1) ROM and the device runs so fast you’re left wondering what this talk of lag is. The screen, the speaker and the feel of the device then enables you to love it so!
Unfortunately, this Voodoo fix has only been available on 2.1 ROM’s, until now…
