Why should you install a Custom ROM on your Android Device?
As we all know, Android is an open
source Operating System which can further developed by developers by having its
source code. By developing an existing OS they can add up new features and
build their own operating system images to be installed on Android phones and
tablets. These are known as Custom ROMs and many Android geeks are willing to install
such custom ROMs. But you might wonder why it is?
ROM, stands for Read Only Memory. When you install a custom ROM,
what does it do is, it replaces your Android device’s operating system with a
custom Operating System. Generally, this OS is stored in the ROM (Read Only Memory)
with a new version of the Android operating system which is known as Custom
ROMs. These Custom ROMs are different from
the usual Android Operating System and they require for Root access.
Getting the Latest Version of Android
By far the most important reason to install a custom ROM is
getting the latest version of Android. The real life scenario is, most of the
smartphone manufacturers are never providing updates for their older Android
phones and tablets or sometime the updates takes months of time reach the
device.
So, if you have an older Android device that delays with its
updates or which is not receiving updates anymore and you still want to get
with the latest version of Android then a custom ROM is just the great way to
obtain it. The CyanogenMod is the most popular Custom
ROM in order to get with the latest Android. The Cyanogenmod has its own kind
of tweaks, and it is based on the latest stock version of Android created by
Google.
A big thanks to the CyanogenMod
and other custom ROMs out there. For
sure this is an awesome choice to get with the latest Android version for those
of the older Android devices which are never being officially updated.
But one thing you should always keep in mind, if you own a
latest Android device that is still receiving timely updates without any
delays, especially if you have a Nexus device that is produced by Google as it is
regularly updated, custom ROMs are definitely for you.
