Best Custom ROMs
Would you like your Android phone to deliver better performance and a more attractive interface? If you are also interested in quicker response times and improved updates, you might just be yearning for a new custom ROM for your Android.

Your smartphone always comes with its own stock ROM (read-only memory) or the system Android operating system. But if you want to enjoy the benefits mentioned above, you will eventually want to replace it with a custom ROM. In order to do this, you need to pick a custom ROM and have your Android device rooted. Other than that, unleashing the benefits of custom ROMs is super straightforward.
So, what are the best custom ROMs for Android in 2017?

1. Paranoid ROM

Paranoid is a solid choice for a custom ROM. It has plenty of cool features, which are not available in some of the other ROMs on the list. In addition, Paranoid claims to be the fast ROM around and it undoubtedly is super fast. The system also provides you with the ability to customise the navigation and status bars – something most Android users would love to do.

 2. Lineage OS

We can only say that Lineage OS sets to embark on the goals set by the CyanogenMod. The popular ROM that modders and enthusiasts may be dead now, but it lives on as the core of Lineage OS. It will be some time till we are able to definitively say if Lineage lives up to the expectations or not.

Features of Lineage OS:
  • Audio FX
  • Gestures
  • Editable Quick Settings Toggle
  • Live Display
  • New Launcher
  • Protected App

2. Resurrection Remix

Resurrection Remix is popular ROM and mainly thanks to its stability. The ROM has readily available updates and it keeps operating without much trouble on most phones. It has plenty of customisation options and different themes to try.You can find this ROM for most Android devices and use it to add a bit of personality to your smartphone.

3. MIUI Custom ROM

If you are looking for something completely different, then consider updating your phone with MIUI Custom ROM. The ROM is actually developed by phone maker Xiaomi and it combines the experiences of both Android and iOS operating systems. Xiaomi phones naturally have this ROM installed in them, but you can get hold of it and add it to another Android device as well. The great thing about this particular ROM is how it allows you to access multiple accounts on popular apps like WhatsApp and Facebook.

4. AOKP-ROM

For those looking for something highly reliable and customisable, the AOKP-ROM is worth looking into. The ROM allows you add custom toggles, better control your permissions and even improve the use of LED controls on the phone. It’s easy and efficient; certainly, one of the best custom ROMs you can find for your Android phones.

5. CopperHeadOS

A hardened open-source operating system based on Android. The Android Open Source Project provides a robust base to build upon. The baseline security model and features are not documented here, only the CopperheadOS improvements. To summarize some of the standard security features inherited from Android:
  • Full Disk Encryption at the filesystem layer, covering all data (AES-256-XTS) and metadata (AES-256-CBC+CTS). The encryption key is randomly generated, and then encrypted with a key encryption key derived via scrypt from the passphrase the verified boot key and the hardware-bound Trusted Execution Environment key which also implements rate limiting below the OS layer.
  • Full verified boot, covering all firmware and OS partitions. The unverified partitions holding user data are wiped by a factory reset.
  • Baseline app isolation via unique uid/gid pairs for each app.
  • App permission model including the ability to revoke permissions and supply fake data. Most permissions are based on dynamic checks for IPC requests, while a small subset make use of secondary groups.
