JKeene Reviews-Bean’s Custom Stock ROM For Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III
So after doing my first ROM review on the GS3, which focused on a rather stock ROM, the search was on for one with a little more bacon. Looking around I found a new ROM over on XDA by Beanstown106 and I knew I had my next ROM on my hands. Bean’s Custom ROM has gone above and beyond making sure that there is something for everyone. Now I know that the name says stock ROM but do not think for a second that Bean has let down those... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews- Synergy ROM For Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3!!
One of the last things I did before I got rid of my Galaxy Nexus was flash the JB leak. It lead to nothing but problems, the biggest being the almost daily softbricks. The problem was fixed before the phone left but it showed me what can happen to your phone when you run custom software. I work in healthcare and cannot afford to have a phone that does not work. So when my S3 came along, I will admit to being a bit gun-shy. In addition I wanted to use... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews-Paranoid Android ROM For Galaxy Nexus LTE!!
It’s been really interesting watching and tracking the growth of ROMs on the newest Nexus phone. Android 4.0 was certainly a game changer in the world of Android. From the redesigned UI giving ROM devs a new look to customize, to the softkeys giving us mods that no-one had even thought of till then, it has been an awesome trip. However for a little while now I have been in the words of Jack Johnson, “Sitting, waiting, wishing” for something new in the Nexus ROM world. Something fresh that really... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews- Instagram For Android!!
So as I am sure all of you have to know by now, today Instagram for Android finally dropped.

But before you write off this app, it is a pretty cool way to take your pictures and is worth a look. So pull up a chair and let’s see what all the fuss is about. ... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews ICSourcery ROM For Galaxy Nexus LTE!!
I have reviewed alot of ROMs for the GNex in the short time I have had one. Some ROMs are all about flash, some ROMs bring you speed, and some ROMs well they have neither. The Galaxy Nexus ROM world has become dominated by a few names, Liquid, Codename, AOKP are used by alot of people. However in the search for something new I stumbled across this awesome ROM over on Rootzwiki. Team Sorcery has been hard at work on this ROM and it really shows. The ROM is not in... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews-BlackICE Toro Kangerade ROM For Galaxy Nexus!!
So this week we will be looking at Travp624′s BlackICE ROM. He has been one of my favorite themers on the GNex and when I saw his name on a ROM I knew I would be checking it out. This ROM is based on the AOKP source with alot of awesome extras thrown in. When the ROM is coming from a developer who is also a talented themer you know it will have sex appeal as well as performance and Black Ice does not disappoint in either category. As I mentioned BlackICE has alot... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews-BAMF Paradigm v1.0 ROM For Galaxy Nexus!!!!
I was pretty excited to see that Team BAMF was coming out with a ROM for the Galaxy Nexus. Team BAMF has been around for a while and has put out some amazing work, ask any Thunderbolt ROM flasher! They have been waiting untill this ROM was ready for primetime before releasing it and I must say it was worth the wait. I am coming off of a few weeks with the LiquidSmooth ROM (review here) so expectations for this ROM were very high. The team built this ROM for... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews-LiquidSmooth ROM For Galaxy Nexus!!!
In the fast paced world of Galaxy Nexus development there is always another ROM to try out if you have not found one that you like yet(I find that hard to believe). As I was looking around for the next ROM to flash onto my phone and review I kept hearing mention of a ROM named LiquidSmooth that sounded very cool. I went on over to their page and even though it was still in beta I downloaded it and flashed away. I used the ROM for about a... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews- Vicious MIUI ROM V.4 For Galaxy Nexus
For the most part a large number of the ROMs available for the Galaxy Nexus are very similar, they all look like Android 4.0. There is one ROM out there that is different and we are going to take a look at it today. Vicious MIUI was the first MIUI ROM available for the GNex and it has finally reached the point there the developer Droid Vicious can say it is stable and functional. When the ROM first dropped there were a few issues however the kinks have been worked... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews- App Quarantine by Ramdroid
One of the biggest problems on Android for many users is bloatware. This bloat is put on the phone by Verizon, AT&T, etc and is on the phone for good unless you Root and can remove it. This is for many one of the reasons that people obtain Root access, just so they can remove all of the B.S. carriers stick on there. One of the most annoying things for me is when you have duplicate apps. Lets say your phone came with a music player but you do not... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews-Android Open Kang Project(AOKP) ROM Toro Build!!!!
One of the more popular ROMs recently for the Galaxy Nexus has been AOPK. This stands for the Android Open Kang Project, a collective of developers working off of the Android 4.0 source code to bring us all one bad ass ROM. The ROM is very popular for a number of reasons, not the least being the fact that there are multiple builds for many devices including both version of the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Galaxy Tab, Motorola Zoom, even the HP Touchpad. With so many device choices it is... Read The Rest →
