We’re back again this week with another custom ROM Spotlight. This week we are taking a look at GalaxyMod (Simple. Elegant. Brilliant.). It’s available for most Galaxy S3 models, including the Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, and Metro PCS variants of the Galaxy S3. If you like Touchwiz and have been waiting on your carrier to push out the update with multi-window, then you’ll want to check this ROM out. It’s based off of Android 4.1.1, it’s deodexed, zipaligned and rooted.
