You need to ROOT the device, install CWM or TWRP recovery (from the Play Store), then follow the directions in the thread of the custom ROM. If you have a non-rooted ICS phone, pay careful attention to the unlocking and rooting instructions: the bootloader is locked.

Best ROM? Pull out the daggers....

I'm of the opinion that Gingerbread ROMs are best for the P970; they are stable, fast, reliable, and every component works.

ICS ROMs for the P970 are fairly stable, but subject to freezes, lockups, quirks, and everything else.

ROMs after ICS (Jellybean & Kitkat) are very quirky, with some componets outright not working.

If I were installing a ROM on SOMEONE ELSE'S PHONE, I would install either Zeus 6.4 (from this Link) or Marvel 9 (with this PATCH).
