How to install a custom ROM on android

1. Research compatible ROMs: Find a custom ROM that is specifically designed for your Android device model.

[{"selector":"#anim-c60c906c-f4dc-434b-936d-530ec1ba26ea [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-466769ee-234f-41a2-a03a-bcda1ae1a765","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a80bc3b-bf35-4742-a019-942617f97e15","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 77.43721%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a3065851-8419-4df5-99c6-a9d0b21fa0ce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0eefecc4-ed66-4822-9a59-76f08435d2a2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 231.90692%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

2. Backup your data: Before proceeding with the installation, create a backup of all your important data and files.
