There are tons of Custom ROMs available out there for you to throw on your device. But many of them are only for one or two devices, which makes it hard for everyone to try them out. So we’ve put together our Monthly Power Rankings for March of 2013 with the top 10 best Custom ROMs. All of these ROMs are available on many devices. Most of them are available on the entire Nexus family of devices as well as the Galaxy S3, and a few other popular devices.

Custom ROM Friday: Shiny ROM for Verizon Galaxy Nexus – Droid Life
Since the departure of Pete Alfonso and updates to his Bugless Beast ROM, folks have been on the search for a new minimal, stock AOSP build that brings smooth operation and vanilla Android feel. We received a few requests to make sure everyone new about a somewhat newcomer to the custom ROM scene called, Shiny. The developer has been building multiple ROM’s from source, but this is his first published work for the toro Galaxy Nexus. It brings a complete OTA feel to the device, running Android 4.2.2. What will make this different from your stock firmware though is the replacement of the stock browser app with Google Chrome, the ROM is …
Acer and HP working on spicing up notebook designs
Is the traditional clamshell laptop design headed the way of the dinosaur? DigiTimes is reporting that both Acer and HP are working on innovative new designs for their forthcoming notebooks, specifically those based on Intel’s new Haswell chip architecture. The Haswell chip is destined for Ultrabooks, a category created by Intel that includes super thin notebooks with low-power chips and solid-state drives. So what can we expect from the two companies? Acer is said to be working on a rotatable hinge that could allow for a notebook to morph into a tablet and just as easily switch back for typing purposes. DigiTimes says that this convertible laptop could launch as …
Hands on: HP Slate 7 review
After its aborted efforts with WebOS and the TouchPad two years ago, it appears that HP thinks now is the time to get involved with tablets. Here is the Slate 7 – a 7-inch tablet running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. And why not? After all, though we think of tablets as a market that’s ‘Apple plus others’, it’s worth remembering that it’s actually in its infancy both in terms of the technology itself and the number of people globally that actually have a tablet – think how complex or widespead the PC or a mobile phone were after only a few years. And, of course, it’s only been three years …

Hands on: Asus Fonepad review
As if the Padfone isn’t strange enough a concept, what about this: a 7-inch Android 4.1 tablet that can also make calls. Meet Fonepad. Yes, that’s right – Asus now have two different but similar products called essentially the same name but in a slightly different order. Crazy times. Check out our hands-on with the Padfone in the video below: Unlike the Padfone, which is a smartphone with a tablet shell, the Fonepad is a device rather like the Nexus 7 (which Asus also makes for Google) but with the ability to make calls. It was leaked back in February. Asus reckons that you won’t hold it up to your …
Video: First Look at Android 4.2.2 on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus – Droid Life
I really hope you’re not trying to imply I should have just fixed the radio/signal issues myself…or that I am somehow “not up to” a complex device such as this…. FYI: I’ve been building AOKP for toro and the Fascinate since b35. I know my way around Linux and Android just fine. I’ve run countless ROMs and kernels on every Android device I have (currently nX, Spectrum, G’Nex and Fascinate). This is *not* an issue of “this stuff is just too complicated”…it’s an issue of “it really should actually work as a phone”. I’m sorry if you don’t see it that way. I’m on my 3rd replacement with this device. …
