I supose you have unlocked your bootloader with the link @popthosegaskets provided. Now just head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320872
and pick a ROM that suites your needs. Every ROM has its pros and cons i guess so Id advice to scroll the posts of the different ROMs and check what features they have, what bugs are still present and decide uppon that.
Most developers suggest you a certain Kernel to be used with their ROM, and either provide you with a download link to the kernel or include a boot.img with their Kernel.zip. Additionally to that some developers request you to download some fixes/modules, those are aswell listed in the Kernel/ROM forum post. Once you have the Kernel, ROM and modules/fixes, follow the Kernel flash instructions on this forum post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131284
once the Kernel flash is done, install the ROM and modules + fixes, always check the ROM forum post because some developers want you to flash modules and fixes in a certain order. You ofcourse might want to put all this files on your SD-Card and install them via CWM.

You must check every single rom by your self. Every ROM has your own tweaks and tricks, every rom has bugs...
You can start from "old" Roms based on 20*** because they stable and checked.
For example Nataly1.1 or CT's 6.4 with HD feature.
So First of all you will need Unsigned HARDSPL and then just play around...

The stock ROMs are the official ROMs from HTC, arent they? So they should be installable even without HardSPL, right?

Which one would be recommended if one is after a rather plain and small, but current ROM with as few preinstalled applications as possible? Basically a plain WM in its newest version without actual third party programs.

A particular reason why you recommend the unsigned version?
U have to use unsigned hardspl on your device, else U can't install the custom rom.
Yes it's from HTC. So you don't need a unsigned hard-spl.
this thread, like other similar threads, will end up being locked.

I was referring to the HardSPL supporting unsigned ROMs (which would be less secure), but I think you mean the HardSPL (the modified SPL) in general, dont you?

Yes, so there the default or official SPL should work. Its basically like upgrading to a ROM downloaded from htc.com.

Questions About i8160L

I have a galaxy ace i8160L, and i want to install custom roms, but i see that there is a model i8160 WIthout L (and i see other with i8160P), dont know where to start, and i dont know if i can use all the tutorials from i8160 to i8160L. I dont want to brick the phone for doing something wrong, also, if there is any way to avoid flash counter that would be great (i see a flashable for CWM but for i8160, so dont know if can be use it with i8160L)
Any help is appreaciate. thanks
Search around the Ace II general forums. There was one or two guidez on how to make this possible. For gingerbread only so far. also, I'm not sure but maybe you can use the manual flash counter reset using terminal.
oh by the way, there's a q and a thread and its stickied, any further questions that are not related to this should be posted there since most of the users are monitoring that thread therefore a better chance to get an answer.
Nevermind my sig, its my sig in XDA app.
Is pressing "THANKS" to hard to do? If you think my post is helpful then click that button! Ungrateful bast***s​
You should ask in the Question and Answer Thread, not making new threads for just a single question.
And i8160L is the NFC version, there are a few ROMs as mentioned by Dro1ne and you can try installing non-L ROMs but you'll most likely to lose your NFC functions and a little chance of brickings. CMIIW though.
Should one see another pointless thread without asking it in the Q and A Thread, don't reply to it and let the thread sink to bottomless pit of hell.
EDIT: sorry for the harsh language, it's just really getting annoying when I see new threads but just asking a single question of not the same question again and again.
ok, sorry, i search first but still no clear, i will ask a last question there.thanks for your time.
Dont worry, i understand, was my mistake. i just want to see if keep the phone or not, i already have another android, but this is just because a friends need it and want custom roms like mine.

[Q] Help with Rooting and other stuff...

OK guys, so I bought my HTC Inspire 4g and I am willing to mod it (I post in this forum because I was told that in fact it's the same device). So I am interested in installing this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37060683) on top of a custom kernel, please suggest one (or is it not needed?). So I actually need to root, s-off, bootloader unlock, flash a kernel, flash the rom and be happy . Now, can you please provide me links with instructions for all these? (Rooting, s-off,BL unlock,kernel flashing,rom flashing) and anything else that my phone might need? Thank you you are helping a huge noob!

how to instal custom rom on unrooted neo l.

Hi,
I am using unrooted Neo l working on ics.
I want to install MULTIBOOT XPERIA NXT R2 ROM on my neo l.
Please someone tell me all the steps to do the same.
Thanx in advance
Sorry by mistake post in wrong form.
but help please if someone can
Like you realised, you're in the wrong forum, but you can still repost your question in the right place
Please do some searching before you do anything. I've read a few of your posts and you don't seem to like to use Google to find things by yourself.
For that phone, think you'll need to unlock bootloader (you've asked about how to do it before), install a custom recovery, make a nandroid backup, then full wipe and flash the ROM. These are standard steps widely available
Instructions will also be in that particular ROM thread.
But like I said, please do some searching for guides as they are all there. The more you read, the more you learn, less chance of things going wrong again Best of luck.

So, on these forums, people are doing voluntary/non-profit work to post their findings and write tutorials to help others. That's ok, it's their choice.
This forum came equipped with a search engine that helps you find information based on what you want. It's great, thank the webmaster for that.
If this forum doesn't have the information that you are looking for you can request it in a nice way, well written, etc. That again, is okay and acceptable.
YOU! You, skipping all those steps and making a brand new thread... just because you can, filling this board up with junk... not even trying to use search or just browse page by page the specific sections... Are simply scum... You think people here should write a tutorial just for you to understand, losing their time for free?
How are mods keeping these threads up? No, really... is it that mods need to respond only to tickets and reports?
Theo said it correctly, I will say it simply .......Search......... really search, then if what you are asking you find no existing threads of help (which is a 1% chance) Then ask, not before
Thread is going nowhere, as such, this THREAD IS CLOSED
