What is OmniROM?
OmniROM is an Android ROM which offers a similar experience to that of stock Android, but provides users with a greater degree of customization (such as allowing you to control how many pre installed apps — or bloatware — are included in the build).
To download the ROM, just go to the Downloads page on the OmniROM website and download the build which corresponds to your device. To flash it, follow the install instructions at the link.
