Today, we’re checking out Rootbox. This is a newer ROM that’s available for the Nexus 4 along with a few other devices, as listed below. Rootbox is a purely AOSP-based ROM. Meaning you’ll be getting stock Android along with a few extras and tweaks, but there is no bloatware in this one. Each release is fairly stable as Rootbox doesn’t do nightlies like CyanogenMod does. It brings features of AOKP, CyanogenMod, and Paranoid Android all into one ROM.
