MultiROM, the popular tweak that allows users to boot between an almost unlimited number of ROMs on their Android-powered smartphones and tablets, now supports Sony’s latest Xperia devices. So, if you can’t decide whether you want CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, or Sony’s stock firmware, you can now install all three and switch between them.

Samsung is looking to deliver a more fluid software experience with the Galaxy S6 having finally listened to our complaints about TouchWiz. One of the ways in which it will do that is with a more streamlined operating system, but sources say the South Korean company is also going to max out the handset’s specifications as well just to be sure.

The HTC One M8 was certainly one of the most beautiful Android-powered devices of 2014, and it seems its successor will be just as pretty. In fact, if these leaked photos are genuine, the One M9 will look almost identical to its predecessor, but its rear-facing camera will be redesigned to accommodate its larger sensor.

Wave goodbye to your removable batteries, Galaxy S fans, because it looks like Samsung could be ditching them for this year’s flagship. Sources say that the upcoming Galaxy S6 will have a high-end glass back panel similar to that of earlier iPhones or Sony’s Xperia Z devices, and you won’t be able to pull it off yourself.
If you prefer to take smartphone software upgrades into your own hands rather than wait for your carrier or manufacturer to bring them to you, then you’ll be delighted to hear that an leaked Android 5.0.1 Lollipop ROM is now available for the Samsung Galaxy S4.
The pre-release firmware works with several Galaxy S4 variants, and it includes everything you would expect from a Lollipop ROM — including Samsung’s latest TouchWiz interface.
