Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs

A fresh compilation of all the Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs available online so far. Since Android 5.0 Lollipop’s code was released to the public, developers have been hard at work in porting it to their favorite devices. Lollipop being a major revamp, everyone wants to experience the new Material Design along with the sea of features Android 5.0 brings with itself. Eligible Nexus devices have all received their updates straight from Google so we would not be covering them.

These custom ROMs are a work-in-progress. This means these custom ROMs are not really fit for as a daily diver as they are in active development with new releases every other day with more and more bug fixes. However, for those who cannot wait for the official OTA updates from your manufacturers, can give them a try and taste the sweetness of Lollipop. We have also added links to tutorials on how to install these Android 5.0 custom ROMs on your phone, in case you are all new to installing a ROM.
