FULL NOOB Custom ROM install Instructions

How to install a custom ROM, Hopefully without messing anything else up.

Follow ALL the directions carefully.

These instructions are intended to do a couple things.

1.	Not mess up your stock ROM(assumed to be ICS 4.04 stock OTA)

2.	Allow you to use 4 other ROM’s on systems 3-6.

3.	Show you why you couldn’t figure this out from the normal forum posts that just simply say.

1. Wipe data/factory reset, cache and Dalvik cache

2. Install your ROM

3. Install gapps

4. Reboot and enjoy!​

NOW Let’s get started. Read through this once or twice before trying.

1.	FULLY CHARGE YOUR PHONE BATTERY.(then come back)

2.	On your phone Go to System Settings, More, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, Copy down your APN settings. For AT&T USA they are as follows, AT&T US HSDPA, APN (phone), MCC (310), MNC (410), APN type (default, supl,agps,fota,dun), APN protocol (IPv4), APN enable/disable(APN enabled)

3.	Connect your phone to your computer, choose Mass storage, USB storage. Let it install the drivers.

4.	Switch the connection type to Media device, MTP and let it install the drivers.

5.	Switch the connection type to Camera, PTP and let it install the drivers.

6.	Create a folder on your computer, Example, D:\ROMS\SLIMKAT, D:\ROMS\CM11

7.	Download the ROMs you want to their specific folders.

8.	Download the rom specific GAPPs(Google Apps Package) to the same folder. Download any other packages that are needed to the same folder (mods/fixes).

9.	Connect your phone as USB storage.

10.	Copy the folder to your SD card.

11.	Root your phone. As of 2/2/2014 If you are on stock ICS 4.0.4 the current way to root it is to use, Click_to_Root, Search the forum for the download, new_root_unroot_4.0.4_ics.rar

12.	Download the Zip or RAR,

13.	Extract it. The folder will look something like this D:\ROMS\new_root_unroot_4.0.4_ics.

14.	Connect your phone as Media device, MTP.

15.	Open the folder D:\ROMS\new_root_unroot_4.0.4_ics

16.	Double click on Click_to_Root.bat, let it root your phone and wait for it to reboot. Don’t touch anything until it tells you that it was successful and your phone has rebooted.
