[Tex/LaTex] Add a page with chapter name before every new chapter

chapterssectioning

I want to add a page with Chapter number and Name before every chapter in like in image 1.

I tried the way specified in answer by m0nhawk on this link but I have added few pages using \chapter* like dissimilar, acknowledgement etc. and that code is giving error to this. Also, It adds this page before like TOC, List of Figures etc. which is not useful for me.

One more thing, using the answer from above link, it removes chapter number and name from content page also, which is necessary for me. What I want is check below image :

The following code gave me this final output:

First page

Second page

Is it what you were looking for?

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\chead{TITLE OF THESIS}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{\thepage}

\newcommand{\mychapter}[1]{\newpage%
\topskip0pt%
\vspace*{\fill}%
\addtocounter{chapter}{1}%
\begin{center}%
\textbf{\Large{\color{red}{CHAPTER NO. \thechapter \\ \uppercase{#1}}}}%
\end{center}%
\vspace*{\fill}%
\newpage%
\textbf{\Large{\thechapter. #1}}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#1}%
}

\begin{document}
\mychapter{Title of the first chapter}
\end{document}

Note: You can modify the sizefont or style to your will by modifying the adequate lines in the definition of the new command.

EDIT: The following has been added in order to fix some numbering problems occurring with the previous code. The disadvantage is that you need to load the oneside option of the book class in order to avoid to have the red chapter name on an odd page and the "regular" black chapter name on the following odd page (with the even page in between white). To finish the job you just need to check your headers and maybe redefine them using the tips in the documentation.

\documentclass[oneside]{book}

\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\Huge\bfseries}{\thechapter.\hspace{15pt}}{0pt}{\Huge\bfseries}

\newcommand{\mychapter}[1]{\newpage%
\topskip0pt%
\vspace*{\fill}%
\addtocounter{chapter}{1}%
\begin{center}%
\textbf{\Large{\color{red}{CHAPTER NO. \thechapter \\ \uppercase{#1}}}}%
\end{center}%
\vspace*{\fill}%
\addtocounter{chapter}{-1}
\newpage%
\chapter{#1}
}

\begin{document}
\mychapter{Title of the first chapter}
\end{document}
