OMFGB (Oh My Fucking GingerBread) is an aftermarket firmware for many Android smartphones. It aims to improve upon standard AOSP (Android Open Source Project) firmware with various modifications such as "God Mode". OMFGB was developed and maintained by R2DoesInc the t3hh4xx0r team.

Development

Development originally began in late 2010 before the Gingerbread source code became available on android.git.kernel.org. R2Doesinc had started with a Gingerbread SDK port. Soon after, Linuxmotion and Xoomdev joined the team. On August 22nd 2011 Romanbb officially joined the team as a full time and active developer^[2]. The core focus of the project is to improve upon the AOSP project while remaining as close to the stock Google Android experience as possible.
