8. CyanogenMod PSP C

This isn’t a port of CyanogenMod for android, it’s a project created from scratch. It will never allow you to run android apps, the psp system doesn’t have the hardware capabilities to run android. It’s purpose is similar to that of “iR Shell”, but with a UI inspired by CyanogenMod.

eCFW TN-V / CFW PSP CXMB Theme with vibrant, vivid PS Vita icons and start-up sequence.

removed all the shadow effect icons to lessen filesize and minimize(or eliminate loading bugs), since the icons are a bit heavy for loading.
