[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
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.

· Reworked the quick settings animations , icons , and pull-down actions

· Quick Settings improvements

· Many various tweaks under the hood

· Many more...
