Every time a new version of Android drops, it’s Nexus this particular and Google Play that will. But for a lot of advanced users (especially those who don’t have the option to go Nexus), custom ROMs are their first flavor of the latest and finest. In the tradition of self-employed developers and tinkerers providing the goods, the relatively brand new OmniROM team has released nightly KitKat builds for no less than fifteen devices.
Here’s the full list of phones and tablets:
Galaxy S II (i9100G)
Galaxy S II AT& T (SGH-i777)
Galaxy S 3 (i9300)
Galaxy S III LTE (i9305)
Galaxy Notice (N7000)
Galaxy Note II (N7100)
Galaxy Note II LTE (t0lte)
Galaxy Note II LTE AT& T (t0lteatt)
Galaxy Note II LTE T-Mobile (t0ltetmo)
Nexus 4
Nexus 5
Nexus 7 2012 3G
Nexus 7 2012 WiFi
Nexus 7 2013 WiFi
Oppo Find 5
If you haven’t heard about OmniROM, it’s a new category of custom ROMs that’s quickly gaining steam among Android power users and aficionados. Well-known developers Chainfire, Dees_Troy, and Xplodwild are on the particular dev team, and they try to offer both a solid, suitable ROM and a host associated with custom features that aren’t available on stock or AOSP builds. They’re also trying to deliver nightly builds that are stable enough for end users to rely upon during the day, and so they encourage bug reports (even on nightlies) to promote a more active community.
OmniROM also offers unique features like flippable quick settings, multi-window and multi-workspace modes, and different visual tweaks available to end users. New features for the Android 4. 4 build include a more discreet, non-obtrusive call notification, virtual stereo widening and a Bass Boost center frequency setting in DSP Manager, and per-app permission control in the Settings menu.
If you’ve got a custom recovery all set to go, head to the Downloads page below to get started. Most of the supported devices already have at least 3 or 4 nightly builds posted, and some have over a week associated with backlog. Even so, a back-up is probably a good idea. (Don’t neglect your Gapps – this particular one’s is from Weird Android KitKat, but has been reported as compatible. ) According to the OmniROM blog post, more devices from Sony, HTC, and others are in active development.
