Custom ROMs have been the heart of Android modding since the early days. Even as stock Android has gotten much better, there are still excellent reasons to flash a custom ROM.
1. LineageOS
The gold standard. LineageOS supports hundreds of devices, gets regular security patches, and offers a clean, bloat-free Android experience.
2. Pixel Experience
Want the Pixel phone experience on your non-Pixel device? Pixel Experience brings Google Pixel features to many Android phones.
3. crDroid
crDroid is based on LineageOS but adds a lot more customization options. Great for people who want to tweak everything.
4. Evolution X
Evolution X has a focus on Pixel-like features alongside deep customization with great performance and an active developer community.
5. Havoc-OS
Havoc-OS is one of the most feature-packed ROMs available. If you want to customize nearly every aspect of Android, Havoc is hard to beat.
