This week in the world of Android: Omni ROM launched as an alternative to CyanogenMod, the LG G Flex broke cover, the HTC One Max finally launched, rumors emerged about Amazon partnering with HTC for a smartphone, and the Nexus 5 leaked in all its glory.

These are the essential stories, the summary of an entire week in just a few phrases. It's must read Android.

New Omni ROM

After CyanogenMod went commercial, several prominent developers banded together to create a new custom ROM called Omni, that is all about "innovation, new features, transparency, community, and freedom".
