Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about custom ROMs and installation procedures.
What is a custom ROM?
A custom ROM is a modified version of Android's operating system. It offers different features, performance improvements, and customization options that aren't available in the stock ROM that comes with your device.
Is it safe to install a custom ROM?
Installing a custom ROM is generally safe when following proper installation procedures. However, it may void your warranty and there's always a small risk of issues. We recommend backing up your data before installation and following our installation guide carefully.
Will I lose my data when installing a custom ROM?
Yes, installing a custom ROM typically requires wiping your device's data. We strongly recommend backing up all important data before proceeding with the installation.
What's the difference between GApps and Vanilla versions?
GApps versions come with Google services and apps pre-installed. Vanilla versions don't include Google apps, offering a more minimal and privacy-focused experience. You can install Google apps separately on vanilla versions if desired.
Do I need to install a custom recovery?
Yes, you'll need a custom recovery (like TWRP) installed on your device before flashing a custom ROM. This is essential for the installation process.
What should I do if my device doesn't boot after installation?
If your device doesn't boot (bootloop), try wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery. If the issue persists, you can typically restore your backup or reflash the ROM. Check our installation guide for troubleshooting steps.
