[Completed] From stock Android to ROM

Hi everyone, as first: thank you for making android as rich as you are making it .
I've a GT-I9070 with stock android , i can boot in to recovery mode holding down volup/home/power and i have the option to install zip files and wipe data so i wanted to install one of theese roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578599 OR http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/orig-development/rom-mahdi-rom-2-7-t2869985
Questions:
Is as simple as downloading the zip packages, putting them in to the SD Card and install them with the recovery mode?
Some users can't install the roms becouse of the wrong recovery mode(?), in many post is written to install an app from play store and use it to replace boot.img, will be the phone still booting after a faild attempt of flashing a custom rom?
Thanks very much for reading and sorry for the english, i'm Italian and i'm still studying :laugh:

Hi,
First thing, is are you rooted? You need a custom recovery to flash a ROM.

Thank you very much! I was wandering if i still need to root it and install a custom recovery even if my recovery allows me to wipe cache/partitions and to install zip files
If someone confirm that i'll give cyanogen 4.4 a shot with my phone since it's full of customization by samsung that i don't like and cyanogen if full of customization that i DO like :laugh:
EDIT: In this post someone use odin to flash the image and then uses stock recovery to clean up(if needed), can i follow the same procedure?
Thanks for the link and the answere!

You definitely need a custom recovery to flash a rom. And the rom will be rooted anyway. If you want to unroot after, that's your choice. Read up on that, or ask in Q&A section link I gave you.
As far as flashing a rom with Odin... Never heard of that, only stock firmware. Yes, you also flash custom recovery with Odin. Not roms tho.
Anything else, please use the Q&A section for help. ?

Are you talking about htis ROM: [ROM][P51xx][5.0.x] CyanogenMod 12 (CM12)?
Then please follow the exact installation steps provided in the first post.
Keep in mind that there are different variants of the Tab 2 available.
You need to know the exact device name and model to find the compatible firmware.
If you register on xda, you can post your question in the Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Thread closed. Thank you.

It seems you flashed an incompatible rom? If you did, you may need to look for a stock rom for your device and flash it.

I don't know if a recovery is available for your device. Building one is hard as well so you might be out of luck.
