I have some basic question abt customROM
1.When you install customROM, does it change/recreate the partitions in previous ROM stockROM/Custom) or it just installs the ROM in the existing partitions (like windows)
2.What is ROMSlot, is it someting like MBR in windows ?
3.Is there any customROM that will unlock the bootloader for me and install itself.
4.Does cynogenMod works in ANY DEVICE (i.e. Chinese )
Hi there,
Flashing ROM will not change your partition table.
Flashing ROM won't unlock your bootloader, its the complete opposite, your bootloader needs to be unlocked to flash a custom rom
CyanogenMod is made for each device separately. If it's available for your device, you can install it.
Read more about that here: [HOW TO] Beginners Guide to Android ROM Development from this forum Chef Central -> Android
Good luck

ROM => the phones's Operating System
Flash => the method name, how install the OS on your phone
Kernel => the "code" between the hardware and the OS
Rooting your phone means opening access to your system.
ROM is the OS by which phone is working..it contain didn't features as Android version
Flashing is installing your rom or kernal to your phone
Kernal is same as driver software in pc
For installing custom kernal or ROM you need to root, unlock your boot loader, flashing your kernal/ROM:beer:

Hello to the Forum
I am new on the Forum i do not know exactly how it works Please excuse me
I have a SAMSUNG 8500 with Bada
I would like to suppress Bada and replace it with ANDROID Kitkat 4.4;4
I Tried the procedure listed in the Topic ROM][WIP][NAND] Omni 4.4 - 11.12.2014
i could Flash Bootfiles Startkernel and FOTA with Multiloader
i do not understand the following and I do not want to have my Phone Bricked ! - -
Do I have to proceed the Android recovery immediately after that step Before loading the SDCard ?
ROM means the Android File ? Where can I get this ROM ?
What Does it mean > choose zip with ROM ?
Do you have to set the Phone in - DOWN LOAD MODE to make this procedure - vol low -+ camera + power ?
Thank you in advance for your Help - Georges
I'm not sure about the procedure you followed but did you -
1. Flash a custom recovery.?
2. Wipe data and cache.?
A ROM is the OS (operating system like KitKat lollipop and so on) you need a custom recovery like clockwork mod to flash a ROM. You even need to unlock the boot loader on some phones. It's best if you ask in your device forum. Or such for the stuff I mentioned. I'll list them for you again.
1. Unlocking the boot loader (your phone may not need it too, searching for it over us good)
2. Rooting
3. Custom recovery
4.a ROM (you need a custom ROM to install right.? xD search for cyanogenmod)
MAKE SURE TO PROPERLY BACKUP YOUR STOCK ROM BEFORE FLASHING OTHER ROMS.
Happy flashing and leave a thanks

I wanted to know if it is possible to change the version of android
By cyanogenmod or custom rom
If you could, could you give me a tip
How to do or tutorial something that helps?
First what is your device ? I think everybody have to start somewhere, so I have to know what is your device and see what is available for it.
But similar process for most of the cases ; root your device (try one click root like king root app or if it doesn't work try other methods for your device) then flash a custom recovery (TWRP) , into it you would be able to install (flash) custom Roms , and when it's done, just download the custom ROM , the Gapps according to the custom ROM Android version and your device architecture and then boot to recovery, make a Nandroid backup (backup everything in TWRP) then wipe system,data,cache,and delavik cache , flash the ROM, flash the Gapps and reboot.
But all the process (rooting, custom recovery etc) depends of your device
Is the galaxy lite 3 wanted to put the version
4.4.2 or +
Only that it does not exist nowhere, this custom or cyanogenmod
That's why I came here.

Hello guys i want to install a custom rom on my sony m2 aqua, so i will need some help about the steps i need to perform.
First i am on android 5.1.1 Lollipop ( Sony's stock firmware 18.6.A.0.182, Linux version 3.4.0-gc82e70f). What should i do first unlock bootloader or root the device and flash recovery after this or first i root then unlock bootloader and install recovery ?
Is it in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root
3. Flash recovery
4. Flash ROM
Any other steps i need to in order to do the job ? And which method do you prefer for unlocking bootloader,rooting... Thanks.
For some roms you dont need unlocked bootloader (LB- sign on forum) you need costum recovery and root to flash costum rom. For unlocking bootloader check http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ read carefuly, Its not recomended for everyone. For instaling costum roms check rom section in XDA-forums.
Hi guys,
I got a spare European S6 and I want to load a custom ROM.
I used to flash ROM on Nexus S and workflow was simple and easy (unlocked BL -> flash TWRP -> flash ROM).
So, I am not a noob to flashing but new to Samsung devices.
I'd like to have an up-to-date help on steps to follow... I heard about Samsung devices have kind of security to bypass...
Hello,
To install any custom ROM on Samsung devices, you will need to do:
- Install custom boot
- ROOT (phone unlock to engineer mode)
I highly recommend TWRP and Magisk.
