CyanogenMod Custom ROM was made available some time back for Samsung Galaxy Spica, but according to some users and ROM tester, flashing the CM custom ROM simply ruined their handset’s battery life.

However, there is now an undervolting kernel for CyanogenMod Custom ROM available based on kCriminal-2.6.29.6.r1 kernel for CM. The main crux behind releasing this kernel was to provide Samsung Galaxy Spica owners a stable yet battery efficient firmware build. Undervolting is considered to be safe and is the process where an undervolting kernel is deployed to reduce the CPU speed. So, not only undervolting saves your battery, but also helps in prevention of handset over heating issues. Read More

Using UserStyles, you can enrich your browsing experience with more control over what is being displayed and how it is being displayed. For example, you can take out irrelevant content, change colors, add extra functionality and in some cases, entirely redesign the website. In a nutshell, Stylish and userstyles.org are to CSS as Greasemonkey and userscripts.org are to JavaScript. Read More
