Note 2: Non of these have been modified by me.
Note 3: This article is just to make information more accessible by others that have no idea they can install custom ROMs for A+
Note 4: For any questions, follow the Nairaland link and put your questions there.
First step is to root the device and you can follow the setups here to root
The second step is the CWM as directed below
CWM
It is imperative to note that while cwm isnt a must, if you ever plan to root your phone and enjoy its benefits then you must accept the fact that something might go wrong along the way. with that in mind i usually recommend this step immediately after rooting. if you wont flash cwm, then i will advice against rooting also (there is the door, thanks for stopping by).
1. Go to playstore on your phone and download "mobileuncle tools" (you must be rooted for this app to work).
2. once it is installed, download the cwm from here:http://adf.ly/Vsixf
3. now put the image inside your memory card directly (not in a folder) and open the mobileuncle tools and choose the Recovery Update option. It would be the first one you see on the list.
4. select it and say yes to all it asks..(it wont take advantage of you, I promise).
5. It should reboot into recovery. which is a dark screen with blue text. (in the future, use the power button + volume up button to enter recovery mode)
Now lets back up your phone.
1. you will need at least 2GB free to back up as well as at least 50% bat3. Use the volume buttons to scroll up and down and the power button to make selections.
2. once you are in recovery mode, scroll down to backup and restore and select it. next choose the backup option which is usually the first option. Sit back and relax cuz it takes a while. Once that is done, scroll down to go back and den select the reboot phone option to turn your phone back on
So now we have rooted and backed up our phone. We can even flash superman.

I'll post this part later.
Lets skip to the coolest part.
