Installing a Custom ROM can be a bit of hassle, because many people exactly don't know how to proceed in it. So, in this article I would give you a full guide of installation of custom rom on your device. I bet this would be the easiest guide available on the internet.

Custom ROM is basically an OS which is made for specific phones, which supports installing of Custom ROMS. People usually flash a Custom ROM when they are bored of the OS they are currently using or to just try new different things and OS. Custom ROMS usually have a Stock Android feel with minimal bloatware, and they offer lot of customization.

Some of the most popular Customs ROMS include Pixel Experience ROM, AOSP Extended ROM, Havoc OS, Evolution X, Mokee, Corvus OS and many more.

So Let's Get Started -

1) First you need to check the status of bootloader. If it is locked then you need to unlock your bootloader. For example - if you are using a MIUI Device which comes from Xiaomi brand, you need to get bootloader unlocking permissions from there website, in 3-4 days they grant you the permission then you can unlock your bootloader.

If you are using any other device then you can google the procedure, to unlock the bootloader of your device.

Important Note - Please Backup All Your Data In Internal Storage it can be wiped after unlocking the bootloader.

2) After unlocking the bootloader, then you have to flash a custom recovery. The most famous custom recovery and the most used one is TWRP. The TWRP custom recovery is available for most of the devices. You can download TWRP Recovery from there official website, make sure you flash the latest one. You can google how you can flash Custom Recovery on your device for detailed instruction.

3) Then you have to select the Custom ROM which you gonna flash. Some ROMS come with Google Apps built in GApps ( Google Apps ) package included, but in some ROMS you have to flash it after flashing the ROM to access the Google Apps like Play Store etc. My most favorite ROM is Pixel Experience ROM because it comes with inbuilt Google Apps, and is quite stable, and you also receive monthly updates with latest security patches. After downloading the ROM, put it in internal storage of your phone along with GApps Package ( Optional ).
