Whether you want to get down to your true geek self or you, want to have some different features on your smartphone that better suit your needs, a custom ROM is a way to go. The stock ROM Android develops and rolls out to the world in software updates is always great in general, but it is made with a wider audience in mind and is to be considered as an all-rounder regarding what it can do for you.

There are many people out there who can benefit from a custom ROM that is more tailored to meet their needs with features and user interface layout. Other people just enjoy installing a custom ROM like the Euphoria OS custom ROM without any idea of what it is that they want before using the ROM. Many of the latter kinds of people can keep using the custom ROM over the stock ROM because the custom version they took a chance on ended up being something that they love.

Euphoria OS

As I am sure you have heard many times before, installing a custom ROM is risky businesses in the sense that you can end up with a bricked device if things turn sour. That is why this practice is best reserved for the advanced Android users among you and should not be used by the less experienced. With that being said, ending up with a bricked Android device from installing a custom ROM is rare. Most of the ROMs you will find on our “best of” lists — just like the Euphoria OS custom ROM for the Google Nexus 4 — will be safe to load and rarely will anyone find any problems.

Files You Need

  • Download the Euphoria OS ROM file for the Google Nexus 4 smartphone from here.
  • You must have a custom recovery installed on the Google Nexus 4 smartphone before you can follow this guide.
  • You must have rooted the Google Nexus 4 smartphone before you can follow this guide.

Note that the steps in this guide are made for people using Team Win’s TWRP Recovery and not any of the other potential custom recovery images you might have flashed on your smartphone. TWRP is the most popular, so that is the one we use for the steps. Nevertheless, you can still use the same guide here if you do have a different recovery such as the ClockworkMod Recovery image. The only difference is that you can expect the steps to change slightly.
