Android customization Android is extremely flexible when it comes to customization. That's one of the reasons so many people choose an Android device over something different. However, installing live wallpapers and third-party widgets aren't the only ways of personalizing an Android device. There's a number of communities online dedicated to coding full-fledged Android ROMs, loaded with unique features and personalization options.
Paranoid Android Paranoid Android features the so-called Hybrid mode, allowing one to scale every app, widget, or a system component. You can choose a mode for every element without even having to adjust the system's DPI setting. Oh, and it comes with colorful, cartoonish wallpapers.
