Today was a day away from the house! with a drive to Richmond then followed by a visit to ZooDoo Animal Park. Although the weather was “supposed” to break up around the middle of the day, it held out nice and sunny (all be it a little windy!) So I thought I had taken more … Read more

When I’m doing tests on a ROM I tend to run Quadrant (Advanced) 3 times to get an average rather than just a one off result. Well I’ve just broken the 1600 points barrier! no other ROM that I have used since getting my Android HTC Desire has come close to this score. So what … Read more
On my quest to seek out new ROM’s for my HTC Desire I’ve recently stumbled across Oxygen, created by AdamG (creator of Opendesire) So on first impressions the download size is only 48mb! yes that’s right only 48mb.
