Don’t just move around with your
android device if you don’t know the benefits of installing a custom ROM and
also how to install a custom ROM on your android device. The benefits are so numerous
which includes changing the overall look of your device. (I will be posting the
full benefits later).
On the long run, why do you need to
install a custom ROM on your android device? Well, there are many reasons to
this, one of them being
poor performance of your stock OS. So without saying
much, here are the five best customizing ROMS for your android device:
I
AOKP(ANDROID OPEN KANG PROJECT) This ROM, just
like Paranoid Android lets you customize the interface of your device and is no
doubt one of the more popular android ROMS even as at now. This ROM which gives
you the room to change the colour of the on screen soft keys is superb for
Nexus devices. Another great feature of AOKP is stability, and in addition, you
can easily make the status bar and navigation bar transparent, not leaving out
LED notifications. If you are still not sure of installing AOKP, just have it
at the back of your mind that it supports so many devices such as Nexus
devices, Motorola Droid 3, Droid 4, Droid Bionic, Galaxy note II, Galaxy S3 and
lots more.
II
MIUI: This ROM has a unique feature which is
its beautiful IOS-like interface, thus making it popular. Other features
include amazing security apps and themes, flashlights, notes app, and weather,
among others. In ranking, MIUI is among the most popular and ranks second only
to CyanogenMod. If your phone’s look and operation has become boring to you,
then try out MIUI ROM.
III
SlimBean: Wondering why it is named SlimBean?
Well, this is because of the way it operates. SlimBean has a very outstanding
feature which is the real dark slim through which the colours of your interface
can be inverted with just one touch. No need to worry if it will support your
device because it is compatible with so many devices, such as Nexus, Galaxy S3,
and all Galaxy note models.
As the name
implies, this is a very light ROM which is rich in features and is very stable.
slimBean kernel offers a lasting battery life and it provides better
performance. With its custom kernel, you can under clock and overclock the CPU,
engine support, theme, etc.
IV
CyanogenMod: As stated earlier in this
article, CyanogenMod is the most popular Android ROM which has over a million
registered users worldwide. The reason behind its popularity is that it is
compatible and runs with almost all android devices and is rich in so many
great features not available in android’s pre-installed ROM.
What are the features
that make it so unique? They include advanced sound panel, improved camera
apps, theme control, and ability to customize home screen shortcut docks,
extensive launcher options, and status bar customization. It also supports
special lock screen shortcuts and much more.
V
Paranoid Android: One of paranoid’s androids
major feature is the ability to make selections based on direction by the use
of a radial menu known as PIE controls. How does PIE control work? In PIE mode,
the navigation bar and status bar are being removed so that only the full
screen appears. To make use of the controls, simply swipe from side of your
device and the PIE menu will appear.
Paranoid ROM
comes with a hybrid engine enabling you to define the DPI based on the app in
use, which means that while in phone mode, you can use an app and use others in
tablet mode or even a hybrid of both. Also you can set custom colours for apps
so that the notification bar and menu bar blends with the colour of the app you
are using.
