Installation of Custom Roms


Steps that are used to install custom roms in rooted phone

Clean install with a wipe

- Boot by Volume up + Home + Power or when powered on: reboot in recovery by CWM
- In recovery Backup (--> a nandroid backup) If CWM is working properly you can do this in CWM
- In recovery: Wipe Data / Factory reset --> delete all user data
- In recovery: Advanced / Wipe Dalvik Cache
- In recovery: Install zip from (internal) sdcard / choose zip from (internal) sdcard / Yes - Install
- In Aroma: Make all your choices 
- In Aroma: After the whole installation don't reboot (don't tick reboot) your phone
- In recovery: backup and restore / advanced restore from internal sdcard (if your nandroid is on internal sdcard ) / Restore data
