Max Moss
Max took the dive into the Android scene back when he exchanged his Motorola Razr for an OG Droid back in 2010. From there, he started avidly keeping up with all of the latest Android news and development. However, it wasn't until later that year when he got a Droid X that he really started to get into the ROMing scene. His first ROM, FlyX by Birdman, still holds a special place in his heart.

Last year, he started his own Android blog, Android Allies. This went well for a while, but now Android Allies is inactive and Max devotes his Android writing to good ol' RootzWiki. Now, with Galaxy Nexus in pocket and Nexus 7 in hand, he strives to bring all the newest ROM news straight to the readers.

A Ginormous List of Android 4.2 ROMs

With Android 4.2 hitting AOSP last week, developers have been hard at work getting the new updates merged into their ROMs and stomping out new bugs that have appeared. While most of the bigger names in the development community are still hard at work making sure they have a rock solid build, others are releasing early builds so that you can get 4.2 running on your device now. In this post, I will keep an up-to-date list of the 4.2-based ROMs that I find around the internet.

Please keep in mind that some of these might be a bit rocky. The Nexus builds should be alright, but ports to other devices can be a bit rough, with some just being able to boot. If you have some dev experience, lend a hand. If you don't, offer testing help and don't nag! They are working hard.

If you find some new builds or ones that I have missed, please leave a comment or tweet me the url at @MaxMM77 and I'll get it updated right away!

Please be careful, as some of these ROMs might not be your daily driver, but more of a taste to see what is good in 4.2.
