PAC [Paranoid + Aokp+ Cm10] ROM JB 4.2

 PAC [Paranoid + Aokp+ Cm10] ROM JB 4.2

Well, I am not sure if you are familiar with the Paranoid ROMs for Android phones or not. If not, let me inform you this ROM is one of its kind. Personally, I am a fan of this one and currently enjoying it on my Galaxy S3. The ROM comes mostly for high-end devices. Thanks to Nims11 for porting it to the Galaxy Ace S55830. In fact the Paranoid ROM is a Hybrid ROM that beautifully blend the look of a phone and a tablet layout into one whole. Just imagine getting a tablet style look at your Ace. With the Paranoid Android ROM installed on your phone you can change and switch your phone’s screen layout in three modes: phone, tablet and a blend of both, pablet (phone+tablet). It a batteryfriendly ROM with a fast user interface and good battery life. Another reason to go for this ROM is that it is based on the latest version of Android OS 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.

Getting Ready:

Well, if you ready to flash a Jelly Bean ROM on your Galaxy Ace, you need to do a few things before proceeding to flash the ROM. Since a custom ROM is directly related to modifying/replacing the system files, it requires root access and there fore you will have to root your phone before being eligible to any such action. If you have yet rooted your Galaxy Ace, head over to our handy tutorial first, then continue from the steps below: Root Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830

Among the other things you need to do before installing this ROM are:
