10 features from custom ROMs that would have made Android Lollipop even better
And willing many of us are. Whether it's a simple modification or a serious intervention – such as changing the Android software (or ROM) – fans are literally lining up to wait for updates to their favorite custom ROMs. Why? Because those folks don't much care for Google- or manufacturer-imposed limitations to what they can or should do with their devices, especially since they actually have a say. More importantly, however, many would argue that due to that tremendous activity by third-party devs and the community surrounding their "goods", Android is consistently becoming better and better.
The truth, however, is that Google is quite conservative with adding new features to the core AOSP (Android Open Source Project), and we can't fault them – we wouldn't want the OS to become bloated beyond recognition. That said, occasionally, specific goodies jump in our face and we can't help but feel like this or that extra would make a great and logical addition to stock Android. So we decided to compile a list of features that we feel would not go against the spirit of stock Android. Find the list below.
