You flash these in your custom recovery the same way you would flash the actual rom. No wipe needed

Has anyone else had problems trying to install roms like cyanogenmod after the Jellybean update? I used to be able to install CM9 nightlys then eventually stable releases and back to stock with no problems, so i am not a noob to flashing roms. Now after I updated to stock 4.1 I cant install CM10 or any other custom roms. I have tried installing through CWM and TWRP but cant get past the ASUS screen after flashing the usual way. I heard there was a change in partition sizes when the update applied. Is there a way to install custom roms again or am i doing it wrong now?

I managed to get my Viper rooted via super one click- are there any custom roms out there to flash? Are there any Cyanogen ports out there yet, this phone has been out for awhile now....
Well first of all actually, are there any recoveries that work? It does not appear that clockworkmod is compatible with the LS840, however is TWRP recovery compatible?
Hi,
Dudes I know some advantages of custom recoveries over stock recovery. It gives u freedom to flash any custom zip. I have a doubt, what if a stock software update zip is flashed with custom recoveries?. Can it be successfully flashed ??? If not, then what error will be thrown ???
i finally got my phone rooted and bootloader unlocked. Now i wanted to get started with installing custom roms.
Some questions i have are:
What kernel to use for roms like Glade 2.0 or any other android 5.0+ roms . why can i not use the stock kernel
Which is the fastest ,cleanest available rom for this device.
Is recovery already present in all kernels.
IMPORTANT:If i install an ota from sony after unlocking my phone's bootloader, will it brick my phone permanently..?

1. Stock kernel is for Jellybean 4.2. Therefore you cannot use it for 5.0.
The roms already have the kernels , you just need something to flash these roms. Go to the development section and download the one click recovery installer app. Use philz touch recovery from that.
2. All these roms have their own advantages and limitations. It would be better if you read the reviews/bug reports in their threads. You'll get a better idea.
3. If you're talking about the above roms, then yes. They already have recoveries.
I have come from a nexus and an htc drvice. When I flash a rom for the g3...does it also flash the kernel with it? Does it flash firmware as well? With htc devices....there were specific firmwares that were compatible with only aosp roms and some with the manufacture skin.
Just need to know if the rom zip flashes everything to make the rom work correctly...or if there are additional steps.
thanks
