Hello.
I began studying android and became curious what is a ROM. There are many pages that offer to download ROMs but what it is exactly from a developer's point of view is not quite clear.
So what is it?
Thanks!

ROM in this context is a nickname for the operating system software that gets installed into the Read Only Memory (ROM) area of the phone.

In the Android world, a ROM is a modified version of the Android OS that can be run on a rooted phone. There are generally 3 types of ROMs: one that emulates an upcoming release of Android, one that adds more features not seen in Android OS, and one that focuses on speed and stability.
