Installing Custom Rom

Hi there, i am on stock rom 4.3 and i am considering to flash a custom rom. It is going to be my First flash of a custom rom and i am wondering if something is not working as it should, will i be able to return to stock with no problems? If i install a custom Kernel as well will kies install stock firm as usual (to return to stock)? Or the only method is a full backup and restore? Restoring method restores kernel too? Thank you for your help.
U must rooting your device, next install custom recovery and backup your rom, thats all, and next try the first install omni rom
I am already rooted. Omni is one of my thoughts. Should i flash a custom kernel after omni or it is not mandatory?

Set metadata recursive problem

Hello
I'm trying to flash PacROM 4.4 and I'm encountering a problem with "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed".
As I searched its because of old recovery tools, but I'm already uusing CWM 4.4.1 and I cannot find out what to do.
The way I tried to flash ROM :
1. Flash stock .254 ROM
2. Install TowelRoot and CWM
3. Flash with CWM 4.4.1 and this is where error come up (kernel 207 works)
Thank you for help
edit: I managed to install VANIR ROM, and later with the same method I managed to install PAC ROM too. I used CWR not Philz.
Your problem was most likely related to your recovery, which was probably outdated.
CM based ROMs sometimes have issues with older versions of CWM.
The reason why it worked after installing Vanir is probably because of Vanir's kernel which includes a more recent version of CWM.
Anyway, glad you got it working.

Bootloop for any Custom ROM Except Lollipop Stock ROM

I updated the Moto G 2014 to Lollipop Stock ROM
in order to do so, updating of the bootloader was necessary.
It was told on the Cutsom ROM pages, that in order to install a custom lollipop,
you first have to flash a stock rom, in order to not get into a bootloop.
after installing the stock ROM,
I got the error: -> Cant unmount /data, no such volume
this was done in PhilZ CWM Recovery.
May this is due to an old version of CWM?
some pages recommend the TWRP Recovery, but users reported the same trouble anyway.
Which is the latest version of CWM and are there issues with lollipop custom roms with Philz CWM?
thanks.
I found out that this has to do with
error unmounting /system so such volume.
I am working on this for days now. Just can't find it...

Not booting flashing gapps

I've solved the problem when boot direct to recovery but now when I try to flash a custom ROM with gapps the phone turns on and after the bootanimation like 10s at the setup wizard it just reboots itself and keeps doing that... I've tried tk gapps(9-27 and 9-13) and open gapps 9-29... If I flash only the ROM and SuperSU it does boot and works great... I don't know what else to try
This may be insulting but you're not flashing a stock based rom are you? Gapps are only necessary if flashing an AOSP rom like CM or it's derivatives.
Is not insulting, you just want to know what I'm doing. Don't worry... And no, the stock boots normally and tried AOSP, CM and Nexus experience and all of them booted without gapps but then with gapps is the same, 10s on lockscreen or setup wizard and reboot
Tried TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.7.0 and philz touch too
i found out that my phone does not boot with full or stock gapps package and it does with mini one... how is this even possible if i have been flashing stock since cm11 ?
it has to be something with one of these
