Installing ROM

I'm using either the official ROM, beta or Resurrection Remix OS.

  1. Copy the ROM's zip on your device
  2. install it through TWRP

Installing OpenGApps

⚠️ If Google service keep crashing you might want to backup your data and wipe the system and data partition.

⚠️ Troubleshooting

  • No write access to storage in TWRP? Wipe data/cache (≠ format data)
  • Rom not booting? Reinstall recovery and ROM…
