I have a noob question (and i`m new here with the ace 2...):
I search some threads but i dont find a clearly answer.
I want to install a custom rom.
I have jb stock.
It is nessesary to root the phone first and than install the rom or is the root option in some custom roms includet that means i dont install root as a single part?
That means i go into the stock recovery install cwm and after that i install simply the custom rom....right?
Witch roms has the root includet?
Thanks for HELPING!!
Yes, custom roms are rooted

1. You dont have to root your phone first when you want to install custom rom...
2. Every custom rom, like CM or PAC is rooted so you don't have to root as a single part.
3. If you want to install custom rom, just put in your sd card and flash with cwm recovery
Press thanks if I helped you

you could have flashed root via CWM and have root access in ICS. Rebooting in CWM to flash a rom would still work without root as you already know mate but if you wanted a root application in ICS flash the file in CWM and superuser would be available in ICS try it next time you decide to flash ICS
Hi guys. Gmaster here. First of all im using a rooted rom (not stock) and i want to replace it with a custom one. Im want to use mobile odin but im wondering if something might go wrong like root being removed during a process that requires root. I would use odin on my computer but my antivirus is...you get the point. But do i want a stock rooted one or will my other rom do it. Please tell me if it can do it or not (even if there is a soft/fixable bricking possiblility) if its hard brick possibility then i do want to know. Any answer that helps will get thanks off me.

As what you said, you are using "not stock" rom, so I assumed you did install a custom ROM in the past and it was successful. But why don't you follow the same way you did?
Alternatively, you can use adbshell to install CWM and then flash a custom ROM or zip through it.
There is Stock ROM and there is Costume ROM - bothe can be rooted or not (Coustume one almost always are).
Stock means: the original ROM from the manufactre (Samsung, HTC etc...).
you can learn more on how to back up your apps (titanium) and current ROM (CWM Recovery), and flashing a new rom from the forum threads.
I know guys but if i install a non root rom then wont cwm stop working?

My experience flashing non root stock room with cwm, the non root stock room became rooted stock rom by itself

Just the answer i need. Tnx. Just to make sure: my new custom rom will not effect cmw nor loose root access to finish it.

Hey stupid question here but if I wanted to flash a JB rom from a rooted stock rom, can i just place the zip on my sd-card and flash it or do i need to flash something before it?
Thanks.
Yes you would put the rom on your sd card but don't forget to flash the proper gapps and do the necessary wipes.
Well I'm flashing a Samsung based rom so I don't have to worry about gapps. I'm a veteran at flashing but this a new device for me so I just wanted to make sure because back when I had the Samsung captivate, we had to flash tons of bootloaders and scripts. Thanks for quick response!

I've looked around the forum a bit i can't seem to find a way to get a custom recovery working on my 8160L, hence i can't flash a custom rom. Any help would be appreciated!
Sorry, i'm currently on 4.1.2 stock jelly bean, i've managed to root it too. But can't seem to get a custom recovery. I tried using rom manager to install CWM , but doesnt seem to work.
NEVER use rom manager. Use shaaan's cwm 6

I am currently running the Hyperdrive Rom. It has been a while since i flashed it. I seem to remember that I did not root my phone because the rom had root priv. I only installed the custom recovery. I would like to switch over the AOKP rom but I am not sure if I need to root first or if the rom has root. and also, if I do root will I then have to install a recovery again after. would also appreciate any advise on which root method is best. thanks for any help.
Check the change log for the rom and compatibility with your current Android firmware version. Most of the time after you root you'll be asked if you want custom recovery.
