After downloading the ROM file, open it and extract the boot.img file to the folder that contains the fastboot files. Step 2: Having done that, check the MD5 checksum of the files we will be flashing and transfer them to the device memory. Step 3: Boot the phone in ClockworkMod recovery and wipe all the data. Don’t forget to perform a Nandroid backup before you proceed. After wiping the phone clean, flash the ROM file followed by the Gapps file. Choose Install update from SD card—>Choose zip from SD card and select the files one after another. Step 4: After flashing both the files reboot into bootloader and connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable. Now open command prompt and navigate to the fastboot folder that contains the boot.img file and execute the command fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Having done that, check out battery and performance settings and adjust them in such a way that the device juice lasts longer.
