I struggled to install Android XRON version and TWRP unless I scour xda and YouTube. Anyway, I put it all together here. I hope it will help those who are starting up myself.

| Touchpad XRON Android CM7 Install for Newbies
| Install with the latest TWRP 2.0 Recovery!
| v2.0 by TopQuark 12/23/2011
+-------------------------------------------------------+
BACKGROUND:
-----------
XRON CM7 has its own tweaks so it is the best CM7 install right now. It includes some
bloatware though but those can be uninstalled later through Titanium Backup.
TWRP 2.0 is the latest Recovery Project with customizable touchscreen GUI! I will be
replacing ClockWork Recovery (CWM) with TWRP 2.0 during the install process.
INSTALL PREWARE:
----------------
Preware is akin to "Jailbreak" or "Unroot" and it is needed to sideload and install webOS
apps. But we'll need Preware to clean some of the files during the CM7 install after
CM7 installation.
1. Download webOS Quick Install:
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1411099974 or...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2774158/WebOSQuickInstall-4.3.1.jar
2. Store it in any folder you assign. You will get the file: WebOSQuickInstall-4.3.1.jar
3. In your Touchpad (or TP), go to "Just type..." in the main screen and type the following:
webos20090606
4. A prompt will ask you if you to switch on developer mode. Switch it on.
5. A developer mode passwork will be asked. Leave it blank and press 'continue'.
6. Plug-in USB cable. Do not click "USB Drive". Just click 'Close' when the Connected
prompt comes out.
7. Double click the file in your PC you downloaded "WebOSQuickInstall-4.3.1.jar".
8. Click the 'world' symbol on the right.
9. Under 'Applications' tab, look for the file named 'Preware'. Click on it, then click
'Install'. This will <10 secons to install.
10. Exit WebOS Quick Install.
11. Go you TP, under the Launcher -> Downloads, you will see the Penguin Icon named
'Preware'. That's it!
DOWNLOAD ACME INSTALLER AND CLOCKWORK RECOVERY:
-----------------------------------------------
The ACME installer is to install Clockwork Recovery. The Clockwork Recovery is to allow
installation of zip files that includes the ROM of your choice, updates, and TWRP that I
will explain later.
From rootzwiki.com website:
- ACME Installer - http://goo-inside.me/roms/cmtouchpad/alpha2/ACMEInstaller.zip
- Clockwork Recovery - http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/kmobs/update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip
...or from here - http://goo-inside.me/roms/cmtouchpad/alpha1/update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip
DOWNLOAD MOBOOT:
----------------
Moboot is the ingenius program that allows multiple boot among webOS, Android CM7,
and Clockwork Recovery or TWRP.
- Moboot files are located here- http://code.google.com/p/moboot/downloads/list.
Download the latest. The latest file is 'moboot_0.3.5.zip' as of this writing.
DOWNLOAD XRON CM7:
------------------
As mentioned earlier, XRON CM7 is the tweaked version of CM7 Alpha. Download the latest
version from here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Touchpad_Developers/Team_Xron/CM7base_XRONified/
Disregard 'ACMEInstallerMethod.zip' and files starting with "CM_7.1_XRONified...'. Those
are redundant. The latest file is 'XRONified_vB2.7_odexed.zip' as of this writing. It
contains less bloatware. File size is a lot smaller than previous versions! Good thing
about XRON is the google apps (gapps) are already included unlike in the raw CM7 install.
DOWNLOAD THE HP webOS SDK:
--------------------------
These files are needed to communicate with webOS during the install process. Go to this
site:
- https://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=page&id=1661
In item#4 of the website under 'Install the HP webOS SDK for Windows', download the file
corresponding to your PC - either 64 or 32 bit.
PREPARE THE DOWNLOADED FILES FOR TRANSFER:
------------------------------------------
1. Go to your TP and connect the USB connector. Tap on the "USB Drive" to connect
to the USB drive. At this point, you will see the familiar USB logo on screen.
2. Create 2 folders on your desktop PC named 'android' and 'cminstall' all in lowercase.
3. Extract the contents of the zipped files from ACMEInstaller.zip into the 'android'
folder. DO NOT transfer the zip files!
4. Transfer the following zipped files to the 'cminstall' folder (yes, leave these as .zip):
a. ClockWork Recovery (file is like 'update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip')
b. Moboot (file is like 'moboot_0.3.5.zip')
c. XRON CM7 - Rename the XRON file from 'XRONified_vB2.7_odexed.zip' to
'update-cm_xron.zip'.
Remember to keep the above 3 files intact with .zip extension.
5. Double click on the 'HP webOS SDK' program. The filename is similar to
'Palm_webOS_SDK-Win-2.1.0-519-x64.exe'. Run it -> click 'Next' -> 'Accept Terms of
License Agreement' -> click 'Next' -> select 'Custom' -> click 'Next' -> click 'Change'
button -> select the directory where you kept your 'android' folder. This can
typically be found in 'C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\android'. Then click 'Ok' -> click
'Next' -> click 'Install' -> click 'Finish'.
6. There is an extra folder created named 'Palm webOS SDK'. You can delete this. It is
not important.
7. Open the 'android' folder. Drag the 'ACMEInstaller' file to the 'bin' directory.
INSTALLING THE FILES TO YOUR HP TOUCHPAD:
-----------------------------------------
1. Open file explorer and go to 'HP TOUCHPAD' storage device. Double click it.
2. From your desktop, drag the 'cminstall' folder into the 'HP TOUCHPAD' storage device
at the root directory.
3. Once 'cminstall' folder was copied, eject the 'HP TOUCHPAD' storage, then shutdown
the TP by long pressing the power button and clicking 'Shutdown'.
4. Power-up your TP by pressing 'Power Button' and 'Volume Up' button at the same
time. A USB symbol will show in the screen.
5. Double click on the 'android' folder in your desktop, then, double click 'bin' folder.
6. While pressing the 'Shift' key, press the right mouse button then click on 'Open
command window here'.
7. In the command (cme.exe) window, type the following:
novacom boot mem:// <ACMEInstaller
8. A series of commands will show in your TP with a pair of penguins staring how
wonderful Linux is. This will take few minutes.
9. Your TP will reboot after that and it will ask you to select which OS to boot! Note
that you only have 5 seconds to select or it will run CyanogenMod. Press the 'volume
up' or 'volume down' buttons to make a selection, then 'center' button next to the USB
port to execute it.
10. That's it! Congratulations! You now have Android in your TP!
INSTALLING TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT RECOVERY (also known as TWRP 2.0):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. After wondering around Android in your TP, download the following file from
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/75:
update-twrp-tenderloin-2.0.0RC0-signed.zip
2. Copy this file inside the 'cminstall' folder of your TP. You can do this while
inside CM7 by pressing the dropdown curtain, select 'USB connected', then 'Turn on
USB storage' then 'Ok', while your USB plug is connected.
3. Go to 'HP TOUCHPAD' storage in your TP and double click 'cminstall' folder. At
this point you will notice that this directory is now empty.
4. Drag the file you downloaded above 'update-twrp-tenderloin-2.0.0RC0-signed.zip'
inside the 'cminstall' folder. There is no need to rename it.
5. Eject the 'HP TOUCHPAD' drive, then reboot by pressing the power button for few
seconds and select 'reboot'.
6. As soon as TP booted up, be quick to move the volume button (you have 5 seconds)
and select 'boot ClockworkMod'. Press center button to run the recovery.
7. Move the volume buttons to select 'install zip from sdcard'.
8. Select 'choose zip from sdcard'. Go to 'cminstall' and install the xxx.zip TWRP file
from there.
9. Select 'Go Back', then reboot system now. That's it! You now have TWRP and the
nice touch GUI interface. Well, it is not that nice yet but it is customizable so you
know what others will do with it.
REMOVING 'boot ClockworkMod' in the BOOT MENU:
----------------------------------------------
Since ClockwokMod is no longer needed, remove it from the boot menu. Here are the steps:
1. Reboot the TP. As soon as system reboots, be quick to select 'boot webOS'.
2. Go to 'Downloads' in TP Launcher and click 'Preware'.
3. If you have not run Preware before, it will ask you to read the change history and
just keep on clicking ok until you get to the program.
4. On the top right search button, type 'internalz' without the quotes.
5. Click 'Internalz Pro', then 'Install', then 'Install/Update Them'.
6. Click 'Ok' for Java Restart is Required, then 'Launch', then 'Continue' without having
to click on any sliders to off.
7. At this point the file and folder directory will show in your screen. Click the
'Internalz Pro' at the very top left of the screen, then click 'Preferences'.
8. Browse all the way to the bottom, then slide the 'Master mode' button to 'On'. Click
'Yes' to enable Master Mode.
9. Click the 'Internalz Pro' button again at the very top left of the screen, then 'Close'.
10. Go up the directory by clicking '..', then do it again. Click on directory 'boot'.
11. Look for the file that says 'uImage.ClockworkMod'. Click it. A menu will show, then
select 'Delete'. Click 'Yes' to confirm delete.
12. That's it! Reboot TP and you will no longer see 'boot ClockworkMod' again.
LOADING A NEW ROM IN TWRP:
--------------------------
The question is, if a new XRON ROM came out, how will I update to the new ROM? The safest
way to do this is to wipe everything out in TWRP - data factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe
Dalvik cache - then install the new ROM. Before doing that, though, make sure to backup all
user apps and data so you can restore them easily after a clean wipe. This can be done using
Titanium Backup that can be downloaded free from the Market.
After a new ROM is installed, an error 'E:Cannot load volume /misc!' will show up in TWRP.
Disregard the message. It is harmless and it pertains to a partition that TWRP checks and
does not exist. Just reboot after that and everything should be fine.

A working Clockworkmod Recovery
STEPS:
1.1. Connect your phone to the computer
1.2. Enable USB Mass Storage
1.3. Go to your favorite rom and download both rom and gapps zips (you can find roms from Google Search or other xda threads and posts, gapps are also available at goo.im/gapps)
1.4. Transfer both files to your phone's sdcard
(If successful);

I know that the reason for this guide is to be the simplest as possible, but I wouldn't recommend using ROM Manager to install the Custom Recovery, as it have already given me bootloops (it is a common error with using ROM Manager to install a Custom Recovery). I would recommend using Flash Installer GUI and Amonra recovery.img, which is a lot safer.
Do you format /system for custom ROM?
Is it required to format /system ?
If it is required then it should be between 6.3 and 6.4 .
Correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT:
I was wrong. flashed jelly bean on O1 and all going well !

I use ROM Manager to flash CWM Recovery.
This is just the preferred method as CWM is widely used (as I can see, correct me if I'm wrong).
You method works too (I saw it used on youtube before), uses Amon ra recovery instead. It both works, as they are both recoveries that allow flashing.
Thanks for your suggestion!
Thank you so muuuuch xD
Hey folks,
Just ordered the Droid DNA off of eBay. It's factory condition, so it's not rooted or unlocked or anything.
I want to install the GPE rom on it from Newt. I've been reading as much as I can on how to do this and want to confirm my understanding. Forgive my noobness. These are the high level steps that I think I have to go through:
1) Run Moonshine. This will give me S-Off and an unlocked bootloader. This is all I need to put on a custom recovery.
2) Install Clockwork Mod recovery. This will allow me to flash kernels and put new roms on
3) Use Clockwork Mod to first backup the device and then put the GPE rom on. I don't need to flash a kernel
Am I right here?
Thanks a lot!
You are go for launch. Before flashing GPE, you may also want to get Titanium Backup and backup your apps.

just dont so any type of phone data wipe untill you transfer a rom to it and dont do system wipe ever
you cant reliably transfer roms in recovery so it will cause you some hassle
You got it. I prefer TWRP for recovery myself. But it's all just personal taste.

Can you elaborate on that? Everything I'm reading says it's fine to do a factory days reset on custom roms. Are you referring to something else? Thanks

Disregard that post. You must wipe system when flashing different ROM bases, if you don't you'll have issues if the ROM doesn't wipe on install. Factory reset is perfectly fine and 100% recommended for flashing ROMs. Don't wipe internal storage until after you flash a ROM unless you want to side load or push a ROM to flash, this is what he meant, I think, just provided false information with it.
Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
I compiled a list of instructions on how to do it. This is starting with a brand new phone, all the way to installing the GPE custom rom using TWRP on a Windows PC. If anyone has a few minutes to look it over, I'd love the feedback (like maybe there are better ways to do this). But regardless, I thought this could be helpful to someone else in the future:
Disclaimer: I am not an expert and you should take my advice with a grain of salt. You can brick your phone by doing this and I'm not responsible if you do, even if you followed my instructions exactly. If you do run into a problem I won't be able to help you as again, I am not an expert. You're on your own and doing this at your own freewill and you are accepting responsibility from any good or bad that comes from it. Good Luck
Prerequisite: You must be on Firmware 2.06
1. Download and install HTC Sync Manager (to get drivers for phone) from:
http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
2. Now Uninstall HTC Sync Manager (drivers will remain behind)
3. Now install Android MiniSDK to get Fastboot and adb from:
http://androidforums.com/attachment...81-adb-guide-updated-2013-05-21-sdk-tools.zip
4. Right-click My Computer, click Properties, Advanced System Settings, and Environment Variables. Under User Variables, click Path, Edit, and at the end of the line, add a semicolon and the directory to your SDK tools. Do the same for the Path under System Variables and click OK to close the several windows we used to get here.
5. Download Moonshine from:
http://moonshine.io
6. Disable the lock screen, disable fast boot, and enable USB debugging
Settings -> Personalize -> Lock screen style and select No lock screen.
Settings -> Battery -> UNcheck “fast boot”
Settings -> Developer Options, turn them on (the toggle is at the top right), and check the box next to USB debugging.
7. Connect phone to computer using original USB cable (preferably to a USB 2.0 port as 3.0 has some issues)
8. Extract Moonshine Zip file
9. Run distiller.exe from the folder where you extracted Moonshine. Read all the messages and answer Yes to any prompts.
Steps 1-9 at: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/set-your-htc-one-s-off-using-moonshine-windows-0147992/
10. Disconnect phone
11. Install GooManager onto phone from:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
12. Launch GooManager once it has been installed and grant it Super User permissions if asked
13. Press Menu and select the ‘Install OpenRecoveryScript’ option. Confirm any prompts that you get after that, and provide the app with root access if it requests for it.
14. Wait patiently till the app downloads the latest TWRP recovery for your device, and installs it. It may look done and nothing is happening, but may still be installing, so be patient. I used the notification window to see if it was still downloading.
15. Once the recovery has been installed, confirm that it installed successfully by booting into it. You can do that right from GooManager itself by pressing Menu and selecting the ‘Reboot Recovery’ option.
Steps 11-15 at: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/
16. Boot into TWRP by going into GooManager --> Menu --> ‘Reboot Recovery’
17. Click Backup
18. Set backup name. Use TWRP in the file name because backups aren't compatible with Clockword Mod
19. Swipe to backup. During the backup process, screen may turn off. Don't panic..it's just a screensaver. Tap the screen and it will turn on. Then swipe to unlock. Happened a few times.
20. Click Reboot System
To restore a backup in the future:
a. Boot into TWRP by going into GooManager --> Menu --> ‘Reboot Recovery’
b. Click Restore
c. Click on Back Up File
d. Swipe to restore
e. Click Reboot System
Steps 16 - 20 at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laBKgRCpMeI
21. This technically isn't necessary, but I chose to backup my backup file onto my PC. It's located in the TWRP file. Just copy and paste it from windows explorer and put it on your computer.
22. Download GPE Rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392799
23. Copy Rom onto phone. Keep as zip. You can put it anywhere, like Downloads
24. Boot into TWRP by going into GooManager --> Menu --> ‘Reboot Recovery’
25. Choose Wipe
26. Choose Factory Reset
27. Swipe To Wipe
28. Click Back
29. Click Home button

When I ran Moonshine in Windows, I ran into an issue where it wouldn't complete (it was stuck "waiting for fastboot"). So I switched to running Moonshine with Linux. This worked successfully and in many way is overall easier, so here's the instructions for that.

Hey, i have got a real big problem.
I just wanted to Flash my Galaxy s3 with ArchiDroid and did all like he said in his Tutorial
1) Connect your phone to your pc and give it some time for installing drivers. When it's finished reboot your pc. It's important. After reboot check if windows can "detect" your phone, for example by entering "My Computer" section. It should be available as portable device.
2) Download newest ArchiDroid .zip file and put it on your phone, I strongly suggest your internal memory.
3) Disconnect your phone from the pc.
4) Download attached Odin3 Software and unpack it's content on your pc: Attachment 1879375
5) Click with your right mouse button on Odin3 executable and select "Run as administrator"
6) Download latest PhilZ Touch Recovery in .tar.md5 format and put it in the odin's folder or somewhere nearby. DON'T UNPACK IT! File should look like this: philz_touch_4.92.8-i9300.tar.md5
7) Click on the "PDA" button in odin and select your recovery in .tar.md5 format. Also untick "Auto Reboot" option. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS OR CHECKBOXES!
8) Turn off your phone
9) Hold Volume Down + Home + Power buttons to enter Download mode. It should say "Downloading, do not turn off target"
10) Connect your phone to your pc. It should be shown in Odin's message log as f.e. "<ID:0/003> Added!!".
11) Hit "Start" button and be patient. It shouldn't take longer than a few seconds. Your phone won't automatically reboot, wait for progress bar to reach the end and move to the next point.
12) Reboot into recovery by holding combination: Vol-Up + Home + Power. Hold it until you see "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo (about 7 seconds).
13) Click on Wipe Data/Factory Reset => Clean to install a new rom. WARNING! From this point you'll be unable to load your current system as it wipes everything available (your internal/external card will remain untouched). Please make sure that you're ready for this step and that you have right .zip file available.
14) After cleaning hit Install zip => Choose zip from sdcard. Then navigate to your location of archidroid.zip file and open it. Now you'll be able to set various options in AROMA "Setup Wizard", just follow the steps and ArchiDroid should properly flash and reboot your system after installation.
15) First boot takes quite longer than usual, I'd say maximum of 5 minutes.
But after point 14 where it said i have to choose zip from sdcard. And i selected the "ArchiDroid-1.X-STABLE" i downloaded from his Dropbox, because the normal download was like 30kbits it said
that it couldnt be loaded because the zip was bad??
I dont know, right now im stucked with a phone without any Rom in it. I could put another Rom in it, but i cant get into my Harddrive of my phone and i have no external Sdcard...
is there a way to get my phone back at life? i have it 2-3 days now, and i was really angry about the battery life so i choose to put a rom in it...
i hope u guys can help me! Greetings Fnatique

Flash back to stock with Odin and also get a ext sd card (you should always have a ext card for situations exactly like this) or and don't forget to backup your efs if you haven't already (VERY IMPORTANT).

Right now i was googling for a bit, and im downloading original firmware of my Samsung ( stock version ? )
i will put the md5 file into Odin, and start from scratch...
well i havnt backuped my efs but i read some days before (yes i was thinking about flashing even before i had my phone) that its possible to find them out with a program.
if i cant put a custom rom in the next 3 hrs on my phone. i will buy a ext sdcard and try it again after school.
another little question i have got is, wich custom rom could i get instead of ArchiDroid for good performance and Battery life?
i was looking in alot threads but everyone says the same " its the opinion of the user what he personally desires more, you have to check the roms at your own "
i just havnt the intention to download like 50 roms to check them all out for 2 weeks wich one gaves best battery life.
so someone got a idea pls? greetubgs
Ok Guys i managed to get rid of my problem, with a external sdcard.
Thanks god, now i have got archidroid on my phone <3
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Samsung Galaxy S3 International i9300 Any version to Android 9
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Samsung Galaxy S3 International i9300 to a powerful one with Android 9 Pie / LineageOS 16.
Verify your phone is i9300 before going further: in Android, go to Settings > About > Check model is GT-I9300.
If not, quit this tutorial.
CHANGELOG ------------------------
v7. Moved to Android 9 Pie + Wifi fix
v6. Updated links and Samsung USB drivers, revert TWRP to 3.2.3-0 for correct Install (3.4 crashes with failed to map..), switched to Magisk root, removed F2FS format

v4. Pack refresh : Hybrid kernel v13, OpenGapps download link
v3. Pack refresh : Hybrid kernel v11.2, TWRP recovery 3.2.3-0, Boeffla config 2.5.20
v2. Moved to Android 7.1, new pack, custom kernel, latest Odin + kernel
v1. Initial release for Android 6
1) DOWNLOAD
- djibe Galaxy S3 i9300 pack: http://bit.ly/djibe-galaxys3-pack
(contains preconfigured Odin 3.13.1 + Samsung USB drivers + TWRP 3.2.3-0 recovery + Magisk 21.1 + wifi-fix-semcosh).
Unzip files.
+ ROM LineageOS 16 Unofficial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-9-0-0-lineageos-16-0-beta-20-09-2020.3875899/
Download (select latest build): https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682941485
Or LineageOS 14.1: https://github.com/Mibo5354/i9300_builds/releases
+ OpenGApps ARM 9 pico: https://opengapps.org/?arch=arm&api=9.0&variant=pico
+ a microSD card. Copy ROM, Gapps, Magisk + wifi-fix-semcosh on microSD card (FAT32 format) and insert it in phone.
+ Charge phone to 100 %
2) BACKUP DATA
Install Samsung drivers (you unzipped earlier).
Then plug phone to PC in File transfer mode.
Collect all .jpg or .mp4
Use apps like Backupyourmobile ans SMS Backup & Restore to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
3) FLASH TWRP 3.2 RECOVERY
Shut down phone.
Remove back cover.
Boot in Download Mode : hold Home + Power + Volume- for 3 seconds and release.
Confirm with Volume+.
Connect phone in USB, wait for bootloader drivers installation.
Then launch Odin.exe (included in my archive) and wait for Odin indicator ID:COM to become blue.
In options: Verify Auto Reboot and Re-Partition are NOT ticked while F. Reset Time is ticked.
On right panel > AP > select twrp-3.2.3-0-i9300.img.tar
### Don't use other menus like BL, CP or CSC (I desactivated them but we never know).
### Warranty will be Void after next click ###
Click Start.
Power Off phone when PASS! green message appears.
### If Odin is stuck at Initializing step (Odin fails to flash TWRP) : use a different usb port AND cable and try again > reinstall Samsung USB drivers > uninstall Samsung Kies > use a different version of Odin > use a different PC.
Wait a few seconds, then unplug phone and remove battery.
4) BACKUP IMEI PARTITION AND PARTITIONS (NANDROID BACKUP)
Insert battery and boot in Recovery Mode : Hold Home + Power + Volume+ until you see the Samsung logo then release and wait a few seconds for TWRP recovery to boot.
If it asks for Keep System Read Only ? -> Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Backup > you can select the partitions you want to save.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup EFS, Boot, Data and System.
Now type Select Storage > Select Micro SD card and confirm with OK
Now Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
5) WIPE PARTITIONS
Go to Wipe > Format Data
Type yes and confirm with bottom right Check icon.
Then go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup from step 2), then Swipe to Wipe,
then back.
Go back to TWRP Home screen > Reboot > Recovery and Swipe to confirm.
At reboot, if TWRP asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
6) FLASH ROM, GAPPS, WIFI-FIX
Back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose LOS*.zip,
(if you don't see the files, tap on Select Storage and make sure Micro SDCard is active).
then Add more Zips > open_gapps*.zip,
then Add more Zips > wifi-fix-semcosh.zip,
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 10 minutes.
6) ROOT ACCESS
Configure Android.
Then shutdown phone.
Boot in recovery mode: Hold Power + Home + Volume+ until Samsung logo is displayed and release buttons.
Go to Install > select Magisk.
Swipe to flash then reboot System.
No extra steps for root. Magisk starts with Android.
Open Magisk Manager app to manage root permissions.
8) EXTRA
You can use GPS Status & Toolbox app for faster GPS fix.
For faster phone, go to Settings > About.
Tap 7 times on Build number.
Now go to Settings > System > Avdanced > Developer options.
Set Windows animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale to 0.5x.
Still in Developer options, set Default USB configuration to File transfer.
For better battery use Dark mode.
Go to Settings > Display > Style > Style > Dark.
You can chose between Dark mode Default or Black right below.
