Summary #2: 6.9.14

So I missed a week and I'm a day late. At least I turned up with 3 Bits and 1 Byte. So check it out. I've got ROMs, I've got mods, and a little XDA admin. So check out this week's Summary:

Bits (3)

If you ever want to use a custom ROM, you have this, or this choice. So check it out. It has all the typical features of a good-quality custom ROM, but it doesn't do it for me for it doesn't have It. It is what a great-quality ROM needs. It are those extra features that make ROMs cool. This ROM is not cool. It just is. Don't let me influence you, check it out yourself.

New Forums:
If you've been following IFA in Berlin, you might have noticed that a crazy number of devices have been announced, from Sony's Xperia Z3, to the HTC Desire 820, and the Galaxy Note 4 by Samsung. Forums for these, and others, are now available. Enjoy it.


So I had a G-Watch ROM. Here's the Gear Live ROM. As in, the only Gear Live ROM thus far on XDA. Like my G-Watch ROM pick, it doesn't add anything really extra. I'm not going to rant again, but I'm not too enthusiastic. I'm sure, like the G-Watch ROM, it's good, but... Yeah, it's not exciting.

Bytes (1)

Android just isn't Android unless you can modify it and make it yours. This sweet tool from the Nexus 5 threads. It lets you change the font all across your Android device. You can only use set font packs - although these fonts are many and beautiful. Oh yes, no Comic Sans. Dammit.

At any rate, this is a great new way to customise your phone. I've talked about (or will talk about in the future) themes, launchers, and UX-altering ROMs, but this is really kind of different. And very cool. This has my thumbs-up. Please, go try it.

Did you enjoy this piece? Any suggestions for the future? Or do you just want to talk fonts? Leave us a comment below. Thank you for reading.
