  2. Custom Recovery: After rooting you should have custom recovery installed. You can use TWRP/CWM recovery on your smartphone. These recovery images are used to flash custom ROM. After rooting you can easily install custom recovery via flashily tool of Mobile Uncle Tool. I will recommend you to use TWRP recovery because it supports touch screen while in CWM recovery you have to use volume and power key to navigate.
  3. Backup of current ROM: Before flashing a custom ROM you should make backup of your current ROM. If any problem occurs in flashing/installing custom ROM then you can restore this backup and you can resume form the point where you left on your phone last time. Please make enough space available in SD card or internal storage for backup.
