So, it all ran fine until you installed the thermostat?

all the rough idling and stalling and dying weren't there until i installed the thermostat. after that, the car idle below 1000 rpm, (1100rpm-1500rpm before)but keeps stalling, going from 300rpm to 1000rpm, not fast, but like its choking. then it dies. my timings also not right. i couldn't fix my timing cus the idle was too high.

Changing just the thermostat will not do that to a car. I'm gearing towards bumping something lose when putting everything back. You should double check.
