Root Custom ROM to Custom ROM

[reedo4494]

hey everyone,

another noob question from me.

im currently running: TheMyth ICS beta 2 Lite

my question is how do i go to another custom rom, ive found an updated version of TheMyth ICS and also one that makes the phone look like an iphone.

The phone has the CWM-based recovery version 5.0.2.6 on it.

I was thinking it would be simple enough as putting the custom rom on the sd card and then instal zip from sdcard in cwm...

help would be great thanks.

it is that simple....
Standard rom flashing procedure through CWM
1. Do a factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced>wipe dalvik cache
2. Mounts and storage> format /System, /Data and /Cache
3. Install the zip file.
Incase of bootloop after zip, repeat only step 1.
But do read the developers instructions in case he mentions any different steps, you follow them.

Just keep in mind, if you are on a CM based rom and want to flash a stock based custom rom, you will have to flash a stock firmware via Odin first. But if you want to shift to a CM rom from a stock based rom, just flash as the procedure given.
