Two of the most popular ways one can customize the Nokia X2 smartphone is by installing a custom kernel or a custom ROM. Much like a custom ROM, a custom kernel can increase a device’s performance and increase the battery life. That’s about where the similarities end between the two.
A custom ROM will then completely change the design of your ROM whereas the custom ROM will appear as though it is just like your stock ROm was out of the box, without any additional features.
Note: Make sure you check what model number the custom ROM is made for from the download links. Whenever we create a post such as this one, it means the model numbers are all thrown into the same article. Don’t assume that all custom ROMs will work for all model numbers. Each download link will mention what model number the ROM is for somewhere on the page, either in the custom ROM thread title or the original post closer to the download link. If you still don’t see it there then have a read of some comments or leave a comment yourself if you aren’t sure, and the custom ROM poster or other people subscribed to the thread will help you out.
