How to Install Custom ROMs On Android Devices

Feb 24th, 2012 3 Comments

Are you an android user who is bored of his/her stock roms and want a new look and experience??

Then, custom roms are just for you. The two official rom developers are cyanogenmod and miuiandroid. You can go through their website and download the rom for your device (www.cyanogenmod.com and miuiandroid.com).

Just be carefull while unlocking the bootloader it might be tricky, just don’t get your device bricked. Search the xda-developers forum for details about rooting and unlocking and flashing. Different devices have different  procedures for rooting, unlocking boot loader. Once these are done then flashing new roms is so simple. 

These questions may arise when u read the above content

1.What is rom?

A rom is like a custom firmware image that is made by a Developer either entirely from scratch, or based off of the official firmware package. Some ROMs contain simple changes like changing icons and adding extra options to things, other more complicated ROMs can change the entire Android experience. Which one you will want to flash, will be entirely up to you. Read carefully, and make sure you understand what you are getting into before you flash .

2.What is bootloader?

The bootloader is a program code that is executed before the device OS starts up, and that instructs that device to boot “normally”. The bootloader can come locked or unlocked from the manufacture. A unlocked bootloader will allow you to install custom ROMs & Kernels (as well as some other neat things) on your device.

3.What is root/rooting?

Put simply, Rooting your device allows you, and/or rooted apps, to access parts of the Linux based Android software that is your OS, and that you would otherwise not be able to access. These tasks can be as simple and beneficial as backing up your system setting, or as complicated as installing custom ROMs, Kernels, etc.

4.What is stock rom?

A stock rom is a rom which comes from the device manufacturers. You can change it by doing the above.

 

So what are you waiting for?? Just root your device, unlock the bootloader, flash recovery and start flashing the roms :)
