gROM on my LG Optimus S
I got tired of running out of room for apps on my phone, especially with some of the sweet games I wanted to play. So I figured I’d go for a custom ROM finally, that gets rid of the pre-loaded Sprint junk and otherwise just works fine. gROM fits that bill nicely, while adding some nice…
