25 Must have Android apps – 1 to12
I keep trying a lot of ROMs in the hope of finding a good custom ROM suits me. There are lot of stable custom ROMs for i9082, but none suited my taste. I used Pawtips CM12 for almost 6 Months. Now I returned to stock. Though Samsung stopped support for grand at 4.2.2, still I feel this is the most smooth, stable rom for Grand, provided you root it, remove all samsung related crap bloatwares and use gravitybox.

App lock 2
I tried some app locks to lock my mail, gallery, file explorer and whatsapp. App lock2 is the best free one available.
