This 5 to 10 minutes of reading this article will make you busy for about a week (installing these ROMs on your Note 3). The custom ROMs I want to show you today are the most popular custom ROMs around the internet. I will also tell you some main features of each of these ROM. So get ready for a ROM-a-coaster ride.
Custom ROMs are customized firmware developed by some third-party developers to add some extra feature or remove any unwanted feature or app from the original firmware. These firmwares are not the official one so if you install one of these on your phone, then your phone’s warranty will get void because you need to root your device before installing these Custom ROMs.
You need to do some preparations before installing these custom ROMs on your phone. Ready a PC, a USB cable and your phone. First you need to root your device ad for that you need to go here, then you need to install a custom recovery on your phone this is the one secret and very important recipe for installing custom ROM on your phone (install TWRP custom recovery from here).
