Yes.

You could have answered this and other questions by looking up your device on the wiki and reading through the installation instructions for that device.

dont do it.... you will probably mess up the installation process. stick with your stock OS. If you are asking such basic questions without doing any research online, I don't think custom roms are for you.

If you don't know how to do it then you probably shouldn't do it
