I read that custom ROM apply their own recovery. Does this mean I cannot use TWRP with the custom rom?
No ,TWRP is best and you can flash any rom with it
It is not neccessary to use the recovery mentioned in the flash instruction

im not new here, my friend got this old HTC Inspire 4G ( running on GB )and she wanna custom rom it, i knew about bootloader unlocking on htcdev.com ( i did it already before )
i already downloaded:
Android Revolution HD 7.3
ext4 recovery updater.apk
1. ill root it with Root and Restore by Bin4ry ( is this gonna work? )
2. and install ext4 recovery via ext4 recovery updater.apk and enable smartflash ( is there a smart flash for inspire? )
3. Back up files and stock rom
4. and wipe then INSTALL AR-HD!
is my method gonna work?
any tips for me?
Read the Ace Think Tank thread. You need to unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery from fastboot, flash a rooted ROM from recovery, and then flash the ROM zip's boot.img from fastboot.

You can't flash radios with S-On. Only with S-Off.

I don't think you can without reflashing stock rom.
BTW whats the problem with cwm or twrp ???
They are much better than stock recovery
And we don't get any OTA update so we don't need stock recovery for any reason..

Bootloader must be unlocked to install custom kernel with CWM... (no pont of CWM on locked bootloader,just can't do it)
Then you may proceed with flashing stuff....

I installed Inerst coin rom 2.5 but my device is stuck on bootloop. I used TWRP 2.7-2.8.4 but none of the recovery flashed the rom. It showed that the rom is successfully installed but when it reboot it get stuck on bootloop.

S-ON users have to flash boot.img manually via fastboot after flashing ROM.
Here are the steps:
1. Extract ROM zip file with winrar or winzip
2. Follow this guide on flashing boot.img from extracted ROM folder LINK or this video guide Video LINK
3. After that reboot and wait for ROM to boot

It doesn't matter. I works both ways.
I preffer to do it before rom install because after installing the rom I just reboot and wait for it to boot.
custom kernel
How can i install a custom kernel after installing a new Rom? i tried flashing it(zip file) from custom recovery but it was not sucessful

Same procedure as above.
Kernel is integrated into boot.img.
So if you want to flash kernel from rom X , just flash boot.img from rom X.
If you S-OFF your phone then you can flash boot from recovery.
If i want to flash another kernel and not that from rom then what i have to do?

You have to S-OFF and then install kernel from recovery.

After flashing the stock rom can I then flash a custom rom ?
Why not? Give it a try.

It won't harm the device right? This is actually my only device.
Re-flashing Stock ROM never harms. Flashing a Custom ROM - what requires to have flashed a Custom Recovery before - always is a bit risky.
