ADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM FOR YOUR SMARTPHONE

Custom Rom Devices

There are many reasons why people like to install or customize their cellphones like installing a custom rom,what are the advantages when we install a rom?

Let's see the explanation below.

Android Operating System

Advantages Of Install Custom Rom :

LATEST ANDROID VERSION

One of the most common reason to install it is the updated android version. Users are able to install the latest version of android on their phone which makes their old phones look new. It does not only make them look new but also it provides the user with better performance as the newer version is more stable than the old.

PERSONALIZATION

Another reason people choose to install it on their android phone is the tons of customisations available in them. Sexy and stunning themes can bring a new look to their devices. It enables the users to customize the UI (User Interface) to their taste.

OVERCLOCKING AND UNDERCLOCKING

This is not really an advantage of installing a custom ROM, but instead it is associated with the custom kernel (a system file which is like a driver for the operating system) installed with that ROM. Well anyway, it allows a user to overclock or underclock their device. Overclock means to run the CPU processor or GPU of the device at higher speed than the one intended by the manufacturer. This provides you with higher performance but, I won't recommend it as it can cause damage to the device. Underclocking is the opposite. It is the modification of the system to run at a lower speed then intended. It does provides you with longer battery life but, in exchange for some performance. You can also install custom kernels.

REMOVAL OF BLOATWARE

While rooting does enable the user to remove bloatware apps installed by the manufacturer but, still the user has to choose which app they want to use and which they do not and manually uninstall every single one that they don't want to use. While custom ROM developers remove these apps while they create these ROMs, they don't include them in their operating system, thus the user only has to install it and now his/her device is bloatware free.

CUSTOM MODS

Tons of custom mods available for a custom ROM attract the users to install a it on their device. These custom mods vary from being really simple like increasing volume beyond the manufacturer limit to huge modification of the custom ROM like the multi-window mod or the pie controls mod.

PORTED USER-INTERFACE

It enables a user to experience a wide range of UI and choose the one that suits them best. Like the Sense UI for the HTC phones which has been ported to many different phones enabling the users to experience a HTC phone without even buying a HTC phone. User can also choose to install the stock android on their phone which is faster than the customized one installed on phones like Samsung or HTC
