Before you begin with the custom ROM installation, make sure that your device is properly rooted. The USB drivers should be installed on PC or else your phone might not be recognized by the computer. Use Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM) or TWRP in order to back up all the data as the installation of custom ROM requires free memory.

Before installation, make sure that your device has at least 80% battery. If the device switches off during the process of installation, it might get bricked. Installing the custom ROM might improve the device usability and functionalities but will also void the manufacturer’s guarantee.
