ROM => the phones's Operating System
Flash => the method name, how install the OS on your phone
Kernel => the "code" between the hardware and the OS
Rooting your phone means opening access to your system.
ROM is the OS by which phone is working..it contain didn't features as Android version
Flashing is installing your rom or kernal to your phone
Kernal is same as driver software in pc
For installing custom kernal or ROM you need to root, unlock your boot loader, flashing your kernal/ROM:beer:

hey i'm coming from using moto milestone n i'm really confused abt something
since there was no custom kernal for milestone
1) when i root my phone do i unlock the bootloader also ?
2) when i install a rom which says it has a kernal so tht means when i flash it the custom kernal flashes as well on its own ?
3) if i install a rom n then i want another kernal, do i flash it the same way ?
1. Bootloader need to be unlocked in order to root and install custom roms.
2. Each rom comes with a kernel but you can flash other kernels on it.
3. Flashing a new rom will wipe your kernel to a stock one which comes with the rom. But you can reflash any kernel on it.
So basically unlock bootloader> root> install clockworkmod> make backup> install rom> flash kernel> install different rom> reflash favorite kernel again.
After rooting our smartphone users get root privileges which enable us to flash different ROMs like those from Cyanogen MOD etc. My question is can flash a WIndows Phone OS or an Ubuntu Phone OS on our phone. Since when we flash a ROM there is no ROM in the phone between deleting the initial ROM and installing the new ROM, the new ROM should not be having a compatibility aspect. Therefore if we can somehow get hold of the Windows Phone OS file can we flash it onto our system.

there is no way to install windows on android phone
and no there is no other os for ace plus other then android
and you dont have to get root privilege to flash a rom
you just need odin or custom recovery
I wanted to know if it is possible to change the version of android
By cyanogenmod or custom rom
If you could, could you give me a tip
How to do or tutorial something that helps?
First what is your device ? I think everybody have to start somewhere, so I have to know what is your device and see what is available for it.
But similar process for most of the cases ; root your device (try one click root like king root app or if it doesn't work try other methods for your device) then flash a custom recovery (TWRP) , into it you would be able to install (flash) custom Roms , and when it's done, just download the custom ROM , the Gapps according to the custom ROM Android version and your device architecture and then boot to recovery, make a Nandroid backup (backup everything in TWRP) then wipe system,data,cache,and delavik cache , flash the ROM, flash the Gapps and reboot.
But all the process (rooting, custom recovery etc) depends of your device
Is the galaxy lite 3 wanted to put the version
4.4.2 or +
Only that it does not exist nowhere, this custom or cyanogenmod
That's why I came here.
Way of having and making one or modifying it
I have the Samsung model number gt-p7500R. It's gotten very very slow and I can't update past android 4.0.4. I can't even get most apps because of the Android version. How can I update to a newer android version and maybe help the speed a bit?
Find a Custom Recovery ( like CWM and /or TWRP ) and find a Custom Rom, both suitable to the phone.
Once both found, flash the Custom Recovery and if successful then from within the Custom Recovery flash the Custom ROM.

I'm pretty new and don't know how to do what you suggested. Is there a forum post with step by step instructions?

is there any way to flash a custom rom in this device ?

If device's bootloader is got successfully unlocked then you at any time can flash a Custom ROM - preferably by Fastboot.
