Yes, there are some custom roms for locked bootloader, search in development forum

ok! thanks for answering!
I really want to try other custom rom like CM and other roms that requires Unlocked bootloader!
:laugh:
I recently rooted and installed cwm on my Neo V, so I can install cyanogenmod. I was going to unlock the bootloader before installing cyanogenmod, but someone told me that the bootloader needs to be unlocked before rooting.
So my question is, do I need to unroot, as well as remove clockworkmod to unlock bootloader? Please help!

Custom kernel are found in Development section!
You may check my thread but for cyanogenmod Roms,you'll find kernels inside the zip you download!
Extract it and flash kernel,then the Rom

I've searched but can't seem to find an answer to my question, this thread seems to be closest. I have unlocked BL, rooted and flashed cm10 on my wife's Neo V, because on stock rom it was too slow. Runs great, really happy. Only problem, she uses a Barclays Bank app, but because it has detected that the phone is rooted, it won't let her use it. Can I unroot without losing the custom rom, or a way around making the app "beleive" that the phone isn't rooted?

Get another bank... Cant use cyanogenmod without root because root is part of cyanogenmod.. So next time yo need a phone with cyan you only need to fix bootloader and then flash you rom.. No root needed
Can i flash a kernel on my stock rom ICS ? (i am using Live with walkman)
while installing a custom rom from the developers community can i install it on my stock kernel, is it neccesary to change the kernel ?
thanks for the help in advance
Yes you can install a kernel for stock ICS, just check out development section
And yes it's necessary to change if it's another android version or if the developer tells you in his thread to use a specific kernel

Yes you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom kernel. But you can flash a custom kernel using fastboot tools and a command prompt or a terminal (Linux) too. You don't need flashtool
If the link for flashtool is not working, check the stickies in Dev section, flashtool should be there. It should still be downloadable

yes you should be having a unlocked bootloader for flashing a custom kernel however if you want to go back to stock ICS someday you will have to re-lock your bootloader and simply click on "Repair Phone" in SEUS.......

No,there isn't.
And you can't flash stock rom with SS...or any custom GB rom because you're on ICS.
Try Liquidsmooth Milestone version,that's Kitkat 4.4.4
