You will need to flash the kernel manually with fastboot each time you install a new ROM.

Requirements

You will need:

  • Android SDK Platform Tools (if not already installed)
  • A Custom ROM (uses the .zip extension, don't extract)
  • A kernel (usually named boot.img)

  1. Send the device into fastboot mode.

  2. Run this command using the boot.img that you want:

    fastboot flash boot boot.img

Custom Recovery

  1. Turn off your device.
  2. Hold {{Key|Volume Down}} while turning on your device.
  3. You will enter ClockworkMod Recovery.

Now you select backup and restore and you backup your current rom. Then go on:

See on the thread of the rom you want to install, what has to be formatted or wiped, for example: format /system format /data format /cache wipe data/factory reset etc

You do this and then you choose "install zip from sd card" > "choose zip" and you select the installation zip.

After the installation has finished, you sometimes have to flash gapps (=google apps like playstore etc). You do this with the same procedure (install zip from sd card etc).

After that reboot phone and enjoy.
