I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-I9082 with TWRP and ROOT. I was irresponsible enough to install Chainfire 3d. What my Question is "Can I install a custom ROM(Specifically CyanogenMod 11.0) straight without installing the official rom from TWRP.

If u had 4.2.2 then yes u can..all it matters is 4.2.2 bootloader..btw.. U should install cwm with seLinux support by odin...simply u do dat...and after that go in mounts and storage..format system...and clear cache..in advanced settings clear dalvik cache..and wipe data too :p..and flash any kitkat rom....it will work :):)..

Are there any other links to download the files(preferably torrents) because I am having problems with GOO.in. I am totally new to the android development platform and xda. I have followed instructions previously at xda but they were the simple ones posted for rooting and stuff. I've learnt JAVA, C++ and some others from the web but know nothing about advanced coding and how a OS works but I would like to contribute to the community in the future. I have had no professional education for all the cyber stuff. BTW, can you provide me a link to learn about all OS's programming and the relation between hardware and software for advanced learning. I prefer it not to be a hard copy of a book because I want to use my free tym while surfing the web to that.
Thamks.

Just 1 more question, how many native Indians are there on XDA as the number seems to be a majority of members?

Yes because Grand is one of the best selling phone in India. It is also very popular here in Indonesia due to Samsung's extensive advertising back in mid 2013.

Samsung's main target market for Grand is the developing countries because of the demand for affordable decent phone with dual SIM is high.

I am pretty sure most of developers and members for galaxy grand are either from Indonesia/India/Malaysia side...and few from gulf country sides too(as i have seen guy who is from egypt ),...as naufalhadyan said..the above mentioned countries are countries where this device was most popular..due to its dual sim function/big screen/affordable/newer and nicely advertised and popularised device...so ya..many indians here :p.including me from india.

    I only do mirroring of CM11 because of goo.im, all other ROMs are not on goo.im so it's fine... I think ;)

    CM11 Build 20140109 Mediafire Mirror

    About development guide... there are lots of them here on XDA man, just look around... but I doubt you will find a hardcopy though, because all guides tend to change as time progresses. Android is very dynamic. :D
