I believe some custom roms require flashing that, but I just rooted and installed twrp.
If flashing SupermanRom, then you need to install no_verity_opt_encrypt before flashing ROM.

Not really. It was just required for kernels with non disabled encryption but eventually it was integrated into SuperSU and now with sources we have non encrypted kernels. And why before flashing the rom?

You don't need it anymore, as we have kernel sources and You can download any rom and it will be working without encryption.

If it's not a custom rom then yes you will need to flash no verity zip unless you plan to root in which you can flash supersu which includes no verity.

Just flash. All custom ROMs have root.
Btw, you need a custom recovery to flash a ROM (like TWRP, CWM)

Not necessarily. You can flash a custom recovery through Odin and not root it at all and then just install a already rooted ROM.

CWM is always reliable. Some prefer TWRP. I'm using Philz Touch. It depends on your preferences. CWM is the most stable.
The title is basically my question, but to elaborate: Do I need to do an initial process before flashing a custom ROM or does flashing a custom ROM form part of rooting?
you need root to flash a custom rom.
you can say root is only a doorway to customization.

Incorrect. You don't need root to flash a custom rom.
You need a custom recovery to flash rom. You don't need root for that.

Yes it is, but you will lose your warranty anyway, it's not important if you got root or not

You don't need root to flash a custom ROM.
You just need a custom recovery. TWRP is recommended.

You don't need root. TWRP can be flashed with Odin and this doesn't require root.
Rooting and flashing a custom ROM are different and separate things.
I'm on Miui 8.1 Global version rooted, Unlocked Bootloader ,
can I flash Developers rom through TWRP? Without clean flash? Or Does it require clean flash for flashing developers rom on rooted / unlocked bootloader devices,
If I can dirty flash miui global to miui developers through TWRP, will my data gets deleted or wiped ?

It's always better to clean flash dev ROM if you're on stable ROM

Those are increments.. they can only be flashed through stock or "zcx twrp" which does not exist for our device

No need. Download fastboot rom. Unzip that zip (tgz) file. Go to fastboot mode. Click on flash all except storage. Nothing will get erased. That's better than installing through TWRP

If you're planning to flash incremental OTAs, you should flash the stock recovery. It's easier that way as it takes less data and eases the OTA update process but at the same time you'd end up switching recoveries if you need to flash other custom ROMs

Depends on the kernel. Read the guide of the kernel developer.
