First of all I want to say that I am NOT responsible of anything you do to your device.
A generic system image (GSI) is a system image with adjusted configurations for Android devices. It’s considered a pure Android implementation with unmodified Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code that any Android device running Android 8.1 or higher can run successfully.
GSIs are used for running VTS and CTS-on-GSI tests. The system image of an Android device is replaced with a GSI then tested with the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) to ensure that the device implements vendor interfaces correctly with the latest version of Android.
What GSI do I install?
There are multiple GSI you can choose (AOSP, LineageOS, Pixel Experience, ProtonAOSP, etc).
Here is a list of every GSI you can install: Generic System Image (GSI) list
For ROG Phone 5, you need to choose a A/B partition style and arm64 architecture GSI.
How do I install a GSI?
First of all, make a backup of your device (optionnal):
In the Settings app: «Settings > System > Backup > Backup now» or «Settings > System > Local backup»
In TWRP (TWRP for ROG Phone 5/5s): «Backup > select Data and Super > Swipe to backup»
And unlock the phone using the app in the official site: AsusUnlock_1.0.0.7_210127_fulldpi.apk
Factory reset your phone in recovery or Android
Now, reboot your phone into fastboot mode (shutdown then press Volume up + Power)
Connect the phone to the PC with the side port of the phone
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed, if not install this: Minimal ADB and Fastboot or this: Android SDK Platform Tools latest
Now flash everything:
In a command prompt, type the following commands:

How to Install a Custom ROM on your Android Phone to give it a fresh new look!
Every smartphone comes with a default ROM or UI pre-installed. It can be AOSP-based with not a lot of added features, more commonly referred to as Stock Android, or it can be a custom skin from a particular brand. Samsung phones, for example, use a custom UX based on Android called OneUI. Xiaomi phones use MIUI, Oppo uses ColorOS, OnePlus uses OxygenOS, etc. Every UI looks different and has a different set of features.
While some may like a certain UI or skin, others may not. Some users prefer a feature-rich interface with the ability to install themes and modify system elements while some may want a clean, simple experience with no frills. This is where installing a custom Android ROM comes into the picture.
A custom ROM essentially replaces the stock ROM or skin on your phone with the one you choose to install. For example, if you have a Xiaomi or Redmi phone running on MIUI but you don’t like the interface, you can install a custom ROM that will change the UI to stock Android or something else you like.
There are multiple benefits to installing a custom Android ROM. If the UI you’re currently using has a lot of ads or bloatware, you can install a custom ROM to get rid of them. If your phone’s OEM has stopped updating your device and you’re stuck on an older Android version, you can use a custom ROM based on a newer version of Android. If you like a different OEM’s UI and want to try it on your phone, you can install a custom ROM.
Now that you know what a custom ROM can do, let’s tell you how you can install it on your Android phone. Note that there’s no universal custom ROM, although Project Treble somewhat materialized it by introducing the concept of the Generic System Image (GSI). While it is possible to install a GSI sprinkled with all the goodies from your favorite custom ROM, keep in mind that it may not offer you the same level of stability and performance that you can get from a fine-tuned dedicated custom ROM for your device. So with all of this being said, you’ll have to install a ROM that’s specifically made for your phone. Failing to do so may result in bricking your phone. You’ll then have to find ways to recover it or take it to the service center.
Note: Installing a custom ROM can void the warranty on some devices since it involves unlocking the bootloader. Proceed with caution as you can cause temporary/permanent damage to your device if you don’t follow all the steps correctly.
Sometimes, installation instructions can have some variations depending on your device. These are generic instructions. Please double-check with your device forums for variations.
Pre-requisites to Install a Custom ROM
There are certain things you need before you can start installing a custom Android ROM on your phone. Let’s go over all of them so your device is ready for the installation process.
- An Android device.
- An unlocked bootloader (if you don’t know how to unlock the bootloader of your phone, head over to the XDA Forums and search for your device name followed by “unlock bootloader” and you’ll find a guide. The process is different for every phone so make sure you follow the one specifically meant for your device.)
- A custom recovery: TWRP is a good option, you can follow our detailed guide to install TWRP on your phone. However, some custom ROMs have specific recommendations on the recovery you need to use, so please follow that if such instructions are present.
- A custom ROM zip file that you want to install (again, head over to the XDA Forums and search for your device, go through all the available ROMs, and choose the one you want to install.)
- Please note again that custom ROM installation instructions can and do vary by device and ROM. If your ROM of choice comes with its own instructions, please follow them instead of this guide. This guide is a general list of instructions and does not take into account any special device instructions.
- GApps or Google Apps.
- A little bit of patience.
How to Install a Custom ROM
Now you have everything ready to install a custom ROM, we can begin the process.
Step 0: Back up your data
There’s one more thing you need to do before starting the installation though, and that’s to make a backup of all your data. We have a detailed guide to help you back up every aspect of your phone’s data so make sure you do that so it’s easy to restore your data once you install a new ROM.
Step 1: Downloading the correct ROM
As we mentioned earlier, the best way to do this is to head over to the XDA Forums for your device and look for a ROM that best suits your needs. Custom ROMs are device-specific so download a ROM that’s made specifically for your device. Also, there can be multiple variants of the same device based on carrier, region, etc. so keep this in mind too. Locate the appropriate custom ROM for your exact device. If you’re not sure, ask about compatibility in the XDA Forums.
Once you’ve found the ROM you want to install, download the zip file either on your computer or on your phone. Note that you will need to data wipe your phone in some of the later steps, so it is advisable to do the file transfer later on, after the data wipe — but ensure that your phone can connect to your computer and can receive files, just to be clear that your device drivers are in place. Later on, you will need to copy the ROM file to the root of your phone’s internal storage. Don’t extract the zip file.
Step 2: Downloading GApps or Google Apps
Custom ROMs do not come with Google’s apps and services pre-installed (with the exception of a few). So if you want to be able to sign in with your Google account and use Google’s services like Sync, Play Store, Gmail, Drive, etc., you’ll need to install a separate GApps package. There are multiple variants of GApps you can install. You can refer to our guide on finding the right Gapps package for you and download one that’s appropriate for you. This will also be in the form of a zip file. Download and transfer it to your phone’s internal storage. You can also install them right from your PC/Mac if you opt for the adb sideload method.
Note: Some custom ROMs like Pixel Experience come with GApps pre-installed. In such cases, you don’t have to flash the GApps file separately.
Step 3: Booting into TWRP
Once you’ve copied the ROM and GApps files to your phone’s internal memory, it’s time to boot into TWRP to flash the files. If you’re not familiar with booting into recovery mode on your phone, we have a guide telling you how to boot into recovery on your phone so you can follow that to boot into TWRP. Once you’re in TWRP, there are a few things you need to do before installing the ROM which we’ll go over in the next step.
Step 4: Installing the Custom ROM
Once you’re in TWRP, it’s a good idea to take a nandroid backup of your entire system before proceeding further. This can be useful in case you end up with a failed installation. You’ll be able to boot into TWRP and restore the backup to go back to the previous state of your device.
- To do this, select the Backup option in TWRP and select Boot, System Image, Data, Modem, and EFS, and then Swipe to backup. Wait till it’s done.
- This step will wipe your entire phone: Go back to the main menu of TWRP and select Wipe. Then, Swipe to Factory Reset. Select the Format Data option and type in ‘yes’ and select the tick mark to format your phone. Note that formatting the /data partition will need you to reboot once so that TWRP can properly identify the newly created file system.
- Moreover, since the internal memory of the device is wiped during formatting, you must copy the ROM and GApps files once again to your phone’s storage.
- You can do this from within TWRP itself. Head over to the Mount section and select the Enable MTP option.
- Now, connect your phone to your PC and it should be detected as a storage device. Transfer the ROM and gapps files.
- Once done, go back to the main menu on TWRP and select Install. Browse to the location where you saved the ROM and GApps files. First, select the ROM and Swipe to Install it.
- Head back to the previous menu and select the GApps file. Install that as well. Once the installation is complete, select Reboot to System.
- If your installation does not boot with this sequence of steps, you may need to flash/install the ROM, reboot back into recovery, and then flash the GApps file. This additional reboot is needed in some cases.
You now have a custom Android ROM installed on your phone! Wait for your phone to boot up. It may take a while for the initial boot process so don’t panic, your phone will boot into the setup process.
That’s how you can install a custom Android ROM on your phone. It’s a fairly simple process and with a little bit of time and patience, you can enjoy a fresh new ROM on your phone with added features, customization, theming, and more. If you installed a custom ROM and you don’t like it or it has issues, just download a new ROM and repeat the installation process.

Inactive Recognized Developer
ROM Installer, by JRummy Apps, is the best way to find and install custom ROMs and ZIPs. It is a must have app for any root user.
You will find more ROMs available than any other app on the Google Play Store. It has many of the same features you will find in Goo Manager, ROM Manager, ZipInstaller and other similar products.
Installing ROMs like Android Open Kang Project (AOKP), CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, Miui and others is easy. Some devices will not show as many ROMs because of the lack of support for that specific device. Please contact your ROM developer to add their ROM to ROM Installer or goo.im
ROM Installer also offers the fastest way to install the most recent recovery. All TWRP recoveries are hosted on our fast server and updated on a constant basis. No other app offers an easier way.
A ROM is a modified version of the Android OS. ROMs are often built from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) with added features. ROM Installer offers many popular ROMs to download for supported devices, including CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, MIUI and AOKP (Android Open Kang Project). There are countless other ROMs and ZIPs you can install too.
ROM Downloads & Details
When you first open ROM Installer a list of supported device will be loaded. You must have an internet connection to list the most recent ROMs. Wifi is highly recommended when downloading ROMs because they are usually large ZIP files.
When clicking on a ROM in the list you will be presented with the ROM details page. This page offers screenshots, comments, likes, view counts, descriptions, a list of files to download and install and links to the ROM developer’s social media sites.
How To: Download & Install a ROM
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Click on the ROM Developer of your choice.
3. Under the ‘Download’ section click the ‘Download’ button from the quickaction menu.
4. The file will be downloaded in a background service and notify you when completed.
5. Once the download is complete, click the notification and it will open a new ROM Install activity.
6. In the ROM Installer select the option to wipe and backup your current ROM (optional but suggested).
7. Click install and confirm to reboot your device into recovery mode.
Tips and Tricks:
Before installing a ROM you should always know how to ‘unbrick’ your device incase anything should go wrong. Installing custom operating systems can be dangerous and rooting most likely voids your warranty. JRummy Apps Inc. claims no responsibility for any damaged or ‘bricked’ devices, loss of data or any other damage that could come from installing third party operating systems.
Always remember to have a current backup and keep your apps and data backed up. Forum members at websites like XDA-Developers or RootzWiki are helpful tools when you have questions about flashing a new ROM or ZIP.
What is a nandroid backup?
A Nandroid backup is a backup of your entire Android system saved to your SDcard. Due to the possibility of anything going wrong when changing aspects of the Android system, we highly recommend that you have a current Nandroid Backup. By having a current Nandroid backup you can manually restore your device through recovery.
How To: Create a Nandroid Backup
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Click menu -> Create Backup
3. Enter the desired name of the backup (no spaces allowed)
4. Click ‘OK’ and then confirm to reboot into recovery mode.
How To: Restore a Nandroid Backup
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Slide from left to right to open the sliding drawer.
3. Click ‘BACKUP & RESTORE’
4. Select the backup you want to manage or restore
5. Click ‘Restore’ and then confirm to reboot into recovery mode.
How To: Extract Files from a Nandroid
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Slide from left to right to open the sliding drawer.
3. Click ‘BACKUP & RESTORE’
4. Select the backup you want to manage or restore
5. Click ‘Extract’ and then select which tar file you would like work with.
6. You will see two tabs (Files, Apps). You can extract and restore app data and files from previous backups.
Tips and Tricks:
ROM Installer supports both TWRP and CWMR backups. You need to have the correct recovery installed to restore a backup (TWRP backups cannot be restored in CWMR). If you update your recovery manually don’t forget to update the recovery settings in ROM Installer.
Upgrading ROM Installer enabled the ‘Extract’ feature. This can be used to restore apps and old system files quickly. More features and planned in this section for the future.
Things You Should Know:
Creating a backup requires you to install a custom recovery. ROM Installer supports TWRP and CWM recovery. Please read more about recoveries in the ‘FLASH RECOVERY’ section.
Things You Should Know:
After rooting your Android device, installing a recovery is the most important next step. What is recovery? In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. A custom recovery offers much more than the default recovery that comes pre-installed on your device. It allows you to install custom ROMs, wipe partitions and restore your phone when ‘soft bricked’. Before rooting and changing anything you should become familiar with a custom recovery.
ROM Installer goes to great lengths to get you the most recent recovery for your device. It has thousands of recoveries hosted on our fast servers to meet your rooting needs. ROM Installer is the easiest way to install your favorite custom recovery.
How To: Install a Custom Recovery
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Slide from left to right to open the sliding drawer.
3. Click ‘FLASH RECOVERY’. A list of supported recoveries for your device will be listed.
4. Select the recovery of your choice and click ‘Yes’ to confirm your install.
5. The recovery will download to your SDcard and be installed.
6. To reboot into recovery mode you can click the menu -> Reboot Recovery.
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
We recommend that you use Team Win Recovery (TWRP). TWRP will allow you to easily install any ROM using ROM Installer. TWRP is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. TWRP is built off AOSP recovery and has the standard recovery options and much more. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Clockworkmod Recovery (CWMR)
ClockworkMod Recovery is popular and has been around for years. Unfortunately this developer blocked all other apps from using the official version of ClockworkMod recovery unless ROM Manager Premium is installed on the device. If you choose to use CWMR then ROM Installer needs ROM Manager to install custom ROMs.
After you have selected the recovery you would like to use just tap on it. The recovery will download and install.
Things You Should Know:
Installing multiple ZIP packages at once has never been easier with ROM Installer. You can drag and drop files to order when each flashable ZIP will be installed. Before your recovery installs any packages, you can choose to backup your current ROM and wipe data and cache partitions.
How To: Install a Custom ROM
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Download the ROM and any extra packages (Like GAPPS). Use the ROM list to navigate and install your favorite ROM.
3. Once the ROM download is finished click on the notification to open the ROM Installer
4. Select to backup your current ROM and wipe data and cache if desired/required.
5. Click ‘INSTALL’ and confirm to reboot into recovery mode and install your ROM
Backup Existing ROM: This will create a backup in your recoveries default backup directory that you can restore later. You can locate your backup in the ‘BACKUP & RESTORE’ section after you install your ROM/ZIPs.
Wipe Data and Cache: This will wipe any apps and data. It is important to backup your apps and data before installing a ROM. You can use ROM Toolbox’s App Manager or another of your favorite backup apps to easily restore app data afterward.
Install Queue: To add ZIP packages to the install queue click on the ‘ADD ZIP’ button. You can either add a flashable ZIP package via a built in file browser or from the files saved in the download database that ROM Installer manages. Once you have added your ZIP packages you can re-order them using the drag and drop feature, slide them to the right or left to remove them from the list and click them to see more information about the file.
Installing ROMs & ZIPs:
The ROM Installation depends on your custom recovery. When you click on the ‘INSTALL’ button (located at the bottom of the screen) it will ask you to confirm to reboot into recovery and install the ZIP package.
If you are using an officially built version of ClockworkMod recovery then ROM Manager is needed to install a single ZIP package. If you want to install multiple ZIP packages and also use the official version of CWMR then ROM Manager Premium also needs to be installed in order for ROM Installer to work correctly in recovery mode.
Receiving notifications for ROM updates:
Installing the latest build of your ROM can become exciting and addicting to see the new features. The ROM Update service provided in ROM Installer checks for new ROMs on goo.im and the individual developer’s server (if enabled).
How To: Enable ROM Notifications
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Open the sliding drawer and select ‘ROM UPDATES’
3. Select the time interval (from the dropdown menu) and the time of day to run the service.
4. Make sure the Switch is set to ‘ON’
5. If an update is available you will see a notification in your app drawer. Clicking on the notification will start a new activity to download the ZIP from ROM Installer or goo.im.
GOO Manager Features:
— Browse compatible ROMs and ZIPs for your device
— Browse and search any file hosted by hundreds of developers
— Sponsor login for faster downloads
— ROM Installer for downloaded flashable ZIPs
— Download thelatest Google Apps (GAPPS) hosted on goo.im
— Installe the latest recovery by Open Recovery hosted on goo.im
— Receive update notifications when goo.im developers add new ROMs
Things You Should Know:
The website, goo.im, is a popular hosting site for ROM developers. The Goo Manager built into ROM Installer offers all the features found in the official app from goo.im. Many of the ROMs available in ROM Installer are hosted on goo.im. For faster downloads you can donate to goo.im to get instant downloads instead of waiting 10 seconds. Donations to goo.im do not support JRummy Apps Inc.
If you would like to have direct access to the Goo Manager from your launcher you can enable this feature in ROM Installer Settings.
