Prerequisites (things to
remember before installing Custom ROM)
Though installing custom ROM
improves the device's performance and UI experiences, it makes the company
warranty void and they will no longer be liable to provide updates in future
[users can restore warranty by flashing the device with stock-ROM].
Make sure the device is rooted
before going forward for custom ROM installation.
This new BlissPop Android 5.1.1
Lollipop custom ROM has to be installed on the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 3G
(with Exynos chipset)models only; if tried on other devices, it might get
bricked [To check your device model: Go to Settings >> About phone
>> model number]
Users make sure they have
installed USB drivers on the PC, or else your smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S4
GT-I9500) will not be recognized by the computer.
Installation of custom ROM
requires clearing of memory in the smartphone, so make sure to back all the
data by installing Clockwork Mod (CWM) Recovery/ TWRP in the smartphone.
Also make sure your device has
more than 80% battery, or else there is chance of smartphone getting
temporarily bricked if the installation process is interrupted in the mid-way.
