- Verify MD5 checksum of the rom zip, if you dont know how to calculate it see here
- Download and flash safe kernel, I prefer latest PhilZ N7000 TW kernel
- Reboot to recovery again
- Go to "Backup and Restore>Misc Nandroid Settings>Preload Partition" and set it to Include
- Backup your current Rom
- Go to "Wipe Data>Factory and Reset> hit Wipe Data-Cache-System-Preload"
- Choose - Yes, I will install a new ROM!
- Return to main page> Advance option and wipe davlik
- Return to main page> Mount and storage, format system, format data, format preload
- Flash ROM zip
- Reboot and enjoy.
- After boot up go to Developer options and change animation window, transition and animator duration scales to 0.5x
Note:
- If you have slow network connection, backup all your APK before flashing
- DO NOT Wipe AFTER Flash ROM!
- DO NOT Flash UNKNOWN or UNAPPROVED MOD
- Lets your installed ROM cool down after flash. Its need to sync to Google services such as contacts, calendar and many others at the background
- You might need to restart after a few hours or you did not see any account sync happening at the background
- You may use Google auto restore services to ease your reinstall process
- DO NOT use Titanium to restore if you did not know what are you doing
- Backup your stuff into the CLOUD using tools such as Google contacts, calendar, Evernote, DropBox, Google Drive, SMS Backup+, etc...
- Usually I will skip Google Account login. This to allow ROM to clear its own installation process. Once clear, click on Google Play. Google will ask you to login and lets it restore all your previous installed apps (make sure you have a clean installed apps list). This is how I reduce my installation process.
- Use Nova Launcher to restore back your home screen! (Remember to backup your Nova home screens)
This is how I do it and its works for me. Fast and Stable. You might have better way or suitable process for you. Ita all depend on what type of applications you are using.
Make sure you have a clean Apps List
