We’ve reviewed ADW Launcher by @anderwebs before, but this launcher replacement just keeps getting better and better and is slowly becoming the de facto launcher on most custom ROMs.  The new version of CyanogenMOD will have ADW Launcher as the default launcher application and that kind of sums up the quality of this application. Personally, [...]

ZXTeam Android 1.5 Hero Screenshot You may or may not have heard of the ZX Team, a duo of developers who have only recently hit the scene with such ROMs as ZX Donut. I caught up with Zach and Stefan and asked them some questions. This is the (heavily edited) result. Dan/AndroidSpin: So Zach, can [...]
