Pre-requisite (things to remember before the installation of custom ROM in the smartphone):
- Though custom ROM gives unrestricted powers (options) to the device, once installed, smartphone company's warranty stands void and will no longer be liable for future updates [warranty can be restored simply by flashing the device with stock-ROM].
- This Custom ROM has to be installed only on Samsung's 2012 flagship model GT-I9300(International model).
- Rooting of devices leads to complete data wipe out, so make sure to back all your personal data.
- User can back-up their data using Samsung Kies, but if you perform custom recovery via ClockworkMod (or TWRP or any other); it re-creates exact settings seen before installation.
- Remember to wipe Dalvik Cache before proceeding to ClockworkMod recovery mode.
