??? You tell US

Make sure to backup your data before flashing the ROM. Lead Dev @albinoman887 Recommends the paid app "SwiftBackup" from the play store. its like $3USD and is basically a "1 button backup/restore" . Even backs up to the cloud if you want it to,

This ROM is developed and maintained by the SigmaDroid Project team.

If this is the first time installing a custom ROM and you are coming from a pure Stock ROM setup, you need to flash the custom recovery to allow adb sideloading unsigned OTA zips. If you fit this criteria proceed as follows

Download the 4 images from the link in the 2nd post.

Reboot device to bootloader

Connect device to PC and then open terminal (command prompt) and navigate to the folder you downloaded the 4 images

type the following lines in terminal indivisually with these commands (no quotes)

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
"fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img"
"fastboot flash vendor_kernel_boot vendor_kernel_boot.img"
"fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img"

Lastly, type "fastboot reboot recovery" and press enter.

When the reboot process is complete you should be at the custom recovery screen. You can now continue the install process like normal

Once you into recovery, with the volume up/down buttons navigate to "Factory reset" , yes you must wipe data... after that completes "Apply Update" and press the Power button to select

Highlight "Apply from ADB" with volume keys and then press power to select

Back at the PC, open terminal/command prompt again, and navigate to the folder you downloaded the ROM zip

Type in terminal/command prompt (without quotes) the following:

adb sideload SigmaDroid-v4.2.5-20240320-OFFICIAL-gapps-lynx.zip

replacing SigmaDroid-v4.2.5-20240320-OFFICIAL-gapps-lynx.zip with the name of the rom zip you downloaded from the 2nd post. It will start SLOWLY uploading the zip and flashing it afterwords . just leave it alone to do its thing . If it installed correctly you should get a prompt on the device asking if you want to reboot to recovery to continue installing packages, Chose No unless you have something else you were planning on flashing and you can reboot the device. Please allow first boot to do it's thing may take up too 10 minutes.
