It depends on which particular phone you are using. Some phones are simply not able to be flashed. Others can flash very easily.

The most common system for use in flashing custom ROMs on phones is called CyanogenMod. For a while, there was actually a CyanogenMod app in the Google Play Store that could be used to automate the process, but Google removed it. You can find more information on how and whether your phone can be flashed at

Note that flashing your phone usually voids the warranty, and may brick your phone. You should probably not attempt to flash your phone if you do not know what you are doing.

Do you have to wipe your phone when you flash a custom ROM?

As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to wipe or reset your phone prior to flashing a custom ROM. It's also a good idea to save all your files and data to your phone's external SD or to your desktop as well before the wipe. After you do that, then flash that custom ROM. If you choose to flash the custom ROM without doing a wipe (called "dirty flash"), you might encounter bugs in your everyday usage.
