How to Install Custom ROM in any android device:
These are the following
main steps of installing a custom ROM in your android device in case your stock
ROM is not good or for better performance or you want some new or extra
features in your device.
Note: Backup your Partitions (IMEI No, SV and Modem)
in case of any loss you can restore them.
Also Backup your current ROM as in case of any error in custom ROM. This can be done through installed custom recovery.
1) First of all you have to ROOT your device
There are a lot of
different methods to ROOT an android device you have to search it on google for
your device or you can use apk apps like KingoRoot or KingRoot.
These apps are not
available in Google Play store, you have to search them in browser and download
and the install them and click on root it will root your device, In case these
apps won't help you then you can search for other method specified for your device.
After root you can check your device status if it is rooted or not with the
help of apps like Root Checker available in Google Play store.
2) Second step is to install a custom recovery
After successfully
rooting your device you have to install a custom recovery. There are three
famous recoveries:
1) CWM (Clockworkmod recovery) Recovery
2) TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) Recovery
3) Philz Recovery
Recovery can be
installed by some applications like Flashify available on Play store, Extension
for the recovery is .img.
All are also available
in touch support.
First of all grant the
root permission to the Flashify then download a recovery image and then install
it.
3) Search for and Download the best Custom ROM for your device
Now you have to search
for the custom ROM for your device you want to flash in your device, the ROM is
in .zip file format you have to download it and to keep it in the external
storage in your device.
Note: Before downloading any custom ROM keep in mind that these custom roms are
developed by some individual developers and may be include some bugs and
errors, so before downloading check it and insure that this rom is bugs free or
the developer is also providing the solution for the bugs in the rom, and
that it is compatible with your device.
ROMs are of two type,
One which include google
apps in it, it should be round about greater then or equal to 1GB.
or other to which you
have to separately install google apps file named as GAPPS.zip, like
Cynagenmod which comes without google apps, and the size varies between 300 to
700mb.
4) Successfully
Installing the Custom Rom
Final step is the
installation of the ROM
First you have to boot
your device into the recovery, it can be done by either ways:
By turning off your
device and then pressing the "Power button+volume up button"
or "Power button+volume up button+Home button" in case your
device have home button.
the other way is to
install app like Quick Boot (Reboot).apk from play store and click on boot into
recovery.
Before installing the
ROM keep in mind that you have to wipe a few of things including factory reset,
wipe Dalvik and cache also wipe system for the flawless installing of
ROM.
Now go to install zip
and specify the rom zip file in the external directory and click on install.
It will take round about
2-3 minutes depending on your device or the rom and after installation install
gapps.zip if rom doesn't include google apps then I recommend to wipe only
Dalvik and cache then reboot your device and Enjoy the new Look!!!

problem, feel free to ask me, I am 24/7 available.
