HOW TO INSTALL & UPDATE
CLEAN INSTALLATION IS NEEDED
- Flash the latest firmware with Newflasher
- Fully boot it once and check everything is alright(skip every connection to make your way to homescreen)
- Flash and boot the recovery twrp-3.5 given in this post
- Format data and factory wipe(swipe the slider in 'wipe')
- Flash ROM
- Flash any addons (GApps, Magisk...)
- Reboot and profit!
- Flash the ROM
- Flash Nikgapps/Addons
- Reboot
(Seems NikGApps does support backup script. It can Backup/Restore anything installed from NikGApps zip and Addon zip, during installing ROM. Reflash them to restore.)
You won't need to flash gapps if the new update zip name include "gapps", you can just flash it on the top of vanilla version.
