How to install crDroid ROM?

Before installing the ROM, we recommend creating a full back up of your files. Here are the download files:

• Latest crDroid Rom
• OpenGapps

If you are installing crDroid for the first time (or coming from another ROM), make sure you do the following steps.

1. Check if you are running a proper working Recovery (TWRP or CWM).
2. Copy crDroid.zip, Gapps, and Firmware to your external SD Card.
3. Boot your device into Recovery.
4. Wipe system, data, and cache partitions.
5. Flash the crDroid zip file.
6. Flash the Gapps zip file.
7. Reboot your device.

Note: Do not expect any support if you are not running a stock crDroid kernel or you have installed any mods such as Xposed. Also, make sure you don’t have modified system files.
