Android, being an open source mobile operating system, makes way for developers to have some fun. There are a number of custom ROMs that have been developed for several popular Android devices that offer a highly customisable environment of the OS. Here are some of the reliable custom ROMs that you should try...
AOKP
AOKP, short for Android Open Kang Project, takes its name from AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and offers some interesting features and customisable settings including Custom Toggles, LED control, Navigation ring, Vibration patterns, Native theme support:, Permission control, CPU overclocking and is quite stable.
Beanstalk ROM
This is a worthy mention as the developers are quick to bring in updates and of course you get a lot of customisable options in the ROM itself. The ROM basically enhances your CM experience by adding more features to it.
Carbon ROM
A well known name in the custom ROM world, this ROM offers a vast list of customisable features. In terms of stability, most of their builds are stable with minor issues here and there.
Cyanogenmod
CM is the first name that comes in when any talks about custom ROMs. Delivering one of first tailored ROMs, CM is now a huge community and has started to partner with OEMs. CM is available on a number of Android devices, so do check their list of supported devices.
MIUI
Developed originally by Xiaomi, yes the Apple of China, this ROM offers the same features and UI as seen on MIUI devices from Xiaomi. Basically you get a ROM without an app drawer and theming options.
PAC-man ROM
This is literally an all-in-on ROM that takes its elements from CM, AOKP and Paranoid Android. You can expect almost every type of customisation options and features to take full control over the OS.
Paranoid Android
Another well known name, Paranoid Android offers stable builds, and quick updates along with its patented navigation feature called Pie and Halo. A strong recommendation from us.
Slim ROMS
If you want a light and a simple stock experience on your Android device, then look no further. Slim ROMS offer stock based ROMs for a variety of devices without any bloatware and slimmed down to take the least amount of space on your flash memory.
