Custom ROM
Android is the most customizable mobile operating system. It allows for root access and custom recovery images, which lead to custom firmware being installed. A custom ROM offers a unique Android experience from the stock ROM, meaning more people can be satisfied with what their Android-powered smartphones offer.
Here you can find custom ROMs for Alcatel, Amazon, Asus, Barnes & Noble, Google, HTC, Huawei, Lenovo, LG, Motorola, Nextbit, Nokia, Nvidia, OnePlus, Oppo, Samsung, Sony, Wiko, and Xiaomi.
