Since the Android platform is Open Source and is maintained not only by Google, but talented developers who use their expertise and spare time to continually develop the platform, many custom ROMs are available to us if we have a rooted device. This section will be dedicated to the more popular ROMs available along with a changelog (if available) and other notes and possible bug-fixes too for the most commonly asked questions about the particular ROM.
All information listed here has been compiled from the XDA Forums, however if you do not wish to see your ROMS or information listed here for any reason then please contact me. Also at the same token if you are a developer and would like your ROM listed then please contact me too so I can add you.
Many of these custom ROMs have extras included so be sure to check out their pages to find out more.
