About OmniROM

OmniROM is a community-built replacement Android system based on the Android Open Source Project. It keeps the stock AOSP look and adds its own features on top.

The project describes its goals as innovation, new features, transparency, community and freedom. You install it in place of the manufacturer's firmware on a supported device, which usually requires an unlocked bootloader.

Strengths
