so howbdo we install custom rom on our Tecno?

besides edoairways said nigerians dont need custom rom

What I read minutes back goes to show you know nothing about custom ROMs.

The so-called disadvantages you listed are mostly untrue.
The data loss is same as performing a factory reset, vulnerabilities no cos they come with security patches, something your precious Tecno finds very hard to roll out.
Hell LineageOS comes with an option for OTA (don't know if that's still happening).

If anything, hios is locked down with useless features that the device doesn't necessarily need, taking up unnecessary space and straining the old SoC commonly found in the devices you mentioned.

In other words - first thing every Tecno user should be doing is look for a way to get rid of hios or use a launcher

When they release another phone with "big battery" or Android 11 out-of-box, that wiseness will vanish into thin air.

i don't know of any link. There ain't a lot of developers in the tecno community, but it surly can be done.

HiOS with it's wack UI.

Tecno camon 12 with MediaTek Helio P22 processor is still a nice option. For normal users, the camera section and the battery is quite good.
