Now flash CyanogenMod to your smartphone via a text message but you must be rooted

How do you like installing custom ROMs like CyanogenMod to your smartphone? Is it with a custom recovery, manually by Fastboot or with tools like Goo Manager? Remember CyanogenMods Installer application that was available from Google Play before it got pulled due to violation of Google Plays developer terms. Anyways, folks, you people let us know that in the comments section below, but you wouldnt be surprised if we say that you can flash the CyanogenMod custom Read Only Memory or ROM to your handsets through a simple text message.
Well, a senior member, rootfan from the XDA-Developers forums have introduced a new application named SMS-Romer that lets you flash in and install any builds of CyanogenMod custom ROM to your Android running smartphones that is officially supported with CyanogenMod. But before you get into this setup, let us remind you, that your smartphone must be rooted before you get hands on with this new process. The application currently allows its users to select between build types, including nightly, stable, release candidate or snapshot. In addition to that, you can also clear and wipe the phones dalvik cache, system cache and make a factory data reset in the installation process, alongside installing the any particular version of Gapps or Google Apps. It is also said that, you must have TWRP recovery or TWRP2+ installed onto your device at the time of flashing, as the new SMS-Romer application utilizes TWRPs open source ORS like the TWRP Coordinator. Unfortunately the application is not available from Google Play, but you can download it from here or from the XDA-Developers source link, 2.
