Before you start let me make it clear that, I don't own this device or don't have any connection with it. I put this thread only because my friend from Chandigarh, India requested me to do a guide on customizing this device. So, I collected information from members related to this device & from other forums.
The Roms listed here are not my works, so it may or may not work with your device. I tried my level best to make it as simple as it can.
ROOTING
First of all, you need to Root your device.
Use Universal Androot, you can download the software here
Use Root Explorer or any file management softwares to install.
Now download the Rom Manager and install it.
RECOVERY MENU
Next you need to Install the stock Recovery Menu.
The complete procedure as well as the required files can be downloaded here.
Just downloaded & extract the file and follow the steps.
CUSTOMIZED RECOVERY
This Recovery Menu can only install update.zip files.
So, it need to be modified to install any custom rom.
You can download the custom Recovery here
Extract the file, Use Android Download Tool provided in the package to install.
Select only the Recovery option and flash the device with it.
Now reboot into recovery you can see a new recovery menu with options to install any zip file.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEVICE
Currently only a few customized roms are available.
Customized CyanogenMod Rom
This Rom is tested several times and 100% working. You can download it here.
Download the rom and put it to your sdcard (Please don't extract it.)
Reboot to recovery either by Rom Manager or by Pressing & Holding both power key &Home button.
Select the option to Install zip file from sdcard, now select the option to disable signature verification.
Now select the downloaded zip file, the setup will start.
When the installation finishes, Reboot.

There is build 12 today....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36487791&postcount=3281
Important things:
- it should be sim free (not locked to network, I think...)
- your Explorer should have unlocked bootloader (this you do only once in lifetime)
- your Explorer (pco) should be rooted first, if it is not. (this you need to do once, custom roms come rooted usually)
- you need to install custom recovery if you didn't already (CWM or TWRP) (this you need to do once,but you can change it..)
When you have all this, then proceed per instruction above.
Press "thanks" button if I helped

I would advice you to use build #11 rather than #12. Everything works on 11. 12 not tested yet.
To revert back you will have to do a nandroid backup first from recovery, if anything goes wrong while installing the rom simply go back to recovery and restore data!
Clear instructions given in posts on this site for all the steps needed.

9.1 is for ics roms, 10 & 10.1 are the jb ones but since not everything works fine on them yet, 9.1 is what you should go with, for now.

Hey guys,
I have only rooted my Samsung galaxy Express GT i8730 by iRoot and have not done anything else. Could someone kindly please give me step by step very detailed instructions along with all the links to downloads for me to flash Cyanogenmod 11 or 12 on my device. I have tried a few different already instruction on xda, but none of them seem to work.
Any help is appreciated.
Is easy
1) ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.8 (or higher)
2) Download ROM .zip
3) Download Google apps (optional)
4) Put both .zip files on your device (either internal or external storage)
5) Boot your device into recovery mode
6) Make backup (if needed)
7) Wipe data/factory reset (not needed if installing updating from previous releases, but is necessary if upgrading between CM versions (example, cm-11.0 to cm-12.0 )
8) Install the ROM .zip file
9) Mount /system, install Google apps (optional)
10) Done.
You can search for TheWhisp on xda for more details.
