What’s one of the major advantages Android has over iOS? If you said flashing, then you’re correct! As most of you know the developer community in Android is humongous, they have done great things for us in the past and are continuing that tradition. In fact just yesterday we learned how to unlock the Droid DNA’s bootloader without Verizon or HTC’s help thanks to a few developers in the community. Below we have a major list of all the Android 4.2 ROMs currently available, these are primarily hosted on XDA and RootzWiki with a few being hosted on Dropbox. The list is divided up by manufacturer except for Nexus devices, those are all together.

As more and more Android 4.2 ROMs show up, we’ll try our best to include them in this list for everyone. If there are any ROMs I missed, be sure to put them in the comments below and say which site it’s located at (XDA, Rootzwiki, etc.) as links will end up in the spam folder.
