MerkMod is an Omni ROM based Custom ROM, which brings many new stuffs and improvements. We have removed many features of them and we will instead add our own features. Our goal is to provide you a stable and feature rich Custom ROM for your daily use.​

· Based on Omni with complete removal of some features that aren't needed
- Peek
· Mobile Network Mode power-saver
· MerkBox
. Full Dark UI
. Quick Swipe Credits Thiago Vinicius.
. Double Tap to sleep -User Configurable -- Credits Rascarlo for the concept.
. Snappier Touch response.
. Third Party apps now can have more permissions. for example Facebook (some like it some dont) This makes app processes More fast
and dalvik response may not take time for the response.

· Many various tweaks under the hood
· Many more...

Are we missing something in the list , we'd always like to be special and won the hearts of the people .

Are we missing something in the list , we'd always like to be special and won the hearts of the people .

well that paper note that I made before planning for features Was a bit different in my opinion bro but no we are not additional we are to the point on it theme manager was a priority and so we gave that a chance and now just making every gesture and preference on the spot without going into the settings is the priority for this week and the features that I mentioned above just note them down so we can work on them a base commit for double tap to sleep - on the spot has already been pushed and its compiled just waiting for Marc for the PNG and then those are done

next up is quick swipe gestures and much more. just keep up the pace mythi.

and concentrate on not making the ROM Hybrid.
