At the time, I didn’t even have a Facebook app on my personal device, why would I want a launcher? Now that… Read more
CyanogenMod 10.1 has been a fantastic ROM from the beginning. It is light, fast, and not overloaded with features like some ROMs are. And while a lot of features is great, sometimes you just want a basic and stable ROM to use. That’s where CM10.1 fits into my life.
