With its powerful processor you can play high graphic games with easy and fast multitasking. Well LG put its official customized Android OS in its G Pad and is look pretty bad too. If you think the same as me, then you will get happy to know that I have some solution to this problem, No not any launcher better than that — a custom ROM. Custom ROM is customized Android OS specially for some purpose like to change the interface, performance or battery backup of the previous Android device.
