To Being with Lets make this guide in three sections

[Post 1] General Instructions
[Post 2] Installing Stock Rom 4.2.2
[Post 3] Rooting Your Device
[Post 4] Customize your ROM as per your wish

General Instructions

Introduction
Rooting your new purchased android device is leg shaking... Main reasons of rooting is to remove bloatwares, gain power of your own device with full potential, install root application and of course Custom Roms. Flashing with custom images will increase your flash bin counter and this breaks your warranty. So people avoid rooting but thanks to chainfire, reset of this counter is made easy as having nuts...
Before moving ahead let me explain what’s rooting...
Rooting your android device simply means you are enabling administrator rights for yourself!! To be more precise unrooted device restrict user and we use our phone as a guest account like in windows OS.

Warnings:
This ROOTING Steps are foolproof but Rooting means you are playing with systems, so please don't try if you don't know what you are doing...Hence it can brick your device (DEAD) and make it useless... So read the steps completely before proceeding..
Rooting is for your fun not for any legal issues viz, piracy.
Charge your phone well before proceeding.

Installing Stock Rom [e.g. 4.2.2]

Requirements

Customize your ROM as per your wish

Here, the important app is Titanium Backup, which will help you to remove unwanted apps pushed by Samsung.

Be careful, follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39395506&postcount=604 and remove unwanted apps.

So now your phone is having more RAM, more battery life and lag-free like other custom roms. zipaligned, deodex is for saving space in our device and for themes.As I observed, some people don't trust custom ROM and they want safety over theme and other Custom rom benefits. So guys its your own ROM! Enjoy!

May I add.....
Instead of installing super su, one can proceed and flash Balliboxer 4.2.2 rom thru cwm. That way you get root plus zipaligned, deodex or odex.

Yes that's good option, but is for self-customized ROM. Few of my friends Questioned me that they dont trust Customized ROMs. People who dont trust custom ROM can finally customize as per their need.

Nice thread, it will help beginners a lot.
But the link you gave that tells which apps can be removed is not very accurate, there are actually many other apps that can be removed safely.
I had made a post about it, but it was for 4.1.2.
Check it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39395506

It should be more or less the same for 4.2.2 but anyway, as soon as I get 4.2.2 I'll make a new post about safe to remove apps. For now I wait for a better version, cuz the current one seems to be full of bugs and many people are disappointed with it to the extent that they downgrade back to 4.1.2...
With all those apps removed when I start my phone I have like 160 mb RAM consumption, and now that I'm using it I just checked, I have 213 mb only...

Hello everybody,
I am facing some problems after installing ROM 4.2.2

2. Contact display is not correct. eg. When i type "Ra" then i got 6 contacts like : Rahul, Rahul, Rahul (SIM), Raj, Raj (SIM), Rajesh.
Now when I choose the contact "Rahul (SIM) then it is not Rahul it is Raj. :confused: :crying:
