OmniROM is a free software operating system for smartphones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile platform. It involves a number of prominent developers from other projects.[1]
Project
OmniROM aims to provide:
- A community orientated development process (users control direction of development)
- Support for nightlies (so bug reports will be accepted)
- Open Source focus
- Patches will be GPL by default
- Commitment to enhance any features taken from other ROMs

Other devices supported include the Galaxy Note, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, LG Optimus G, Galaxy S2, HTC One (2013), Oppo Find 5, Sony Xperia T, HTC Explorer.[4]
