you probably get this question a million times. i look in the begginers tutorial on how to install a new ROM and i went through the process fine with no problems...i think. it gave me the same rom as it first came with. i hope thats correct. Im just trying to find out which ROM is good and which ones should i stay away from. I was looking at the Cube rom and it looks good but idk how to install it?. where can i find it to download it?
Start digging in the ROM Development forum. Read the stickies and the wiki for instructions.
wiki
definitely read the wiki. a year ago, i was an htc noob, but now i am a flashing junkie. I highly recommend the flash via microsd card method, and the hyperdragon and phoenix roms.
welcome to the forum
have fun with your new HTC

You can't go wrong flashing one of the newer 1.56-based roms out now. If you read the guide in my signature you can't go wrong
As cRaCKwHoRe said you can't go wrong with one of the newer 1.56 roms based on either WM6.1 or WM6.5
As for which is better, your opening a whole can of worms there mate. This has been asked before and closed done just as often by Mod's
There is no best rom, its user dependant on what you as the user is looking for as they're lite roms, heavy roms, roms built for speed etc etc etc
Best advice I can offer is to go into each rom thread, read up on each and if you like the look of one of them, try it out. If your not happy, try another.
I've flashed countless rom's (60+) and I'm still not 100% happy.
Each rom thread should provide installation guides or direct you to them, though you couldn't go wrong with cRaCKwHoRe's
I'm personally testing Duttys V3.0 which isn't released yet, but should be in the next few days. Could be worth waiting for, though I'd maybe read up on others and try flashing to get accustomed to the process
Happy searching and I hope you find the right rom for you!!
Hi firstly I would like to apologise, I have read through many topics on these forums, tried the search and in the process and found out many useful tips for my phone, yet I'm still somewhat nervous about which versions/radio etc. I should install.
I have a HTC Touch HD on Orange UK, it is my primary phone and I would be somewhat distraught if I were to break it.
Would someone recommend which version I should use and a link to a good beginners guide. I really think the news Windows Mobile 6.5 has reached the masses as it were and it would be good to have a tutorial that was user friendly for those that have not flashed devices before.
Thank you for reading

there's a ton of topped threads, read them.
specifically read the one on how to flash a rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
after that choose a rom, download it and follow the instructions.
I just got a G1 and I rooted it to RC-29.
I'm very new to any of this hacking stuff and I have no idea what to do next. My guess is that I need to update to RC-33 and/or firmware 1.5? Along with installing the multi touch and things like that...?
I've read up on some information and JesusFrekes or something like that used to have a lot of updates for the rooted G1, unfortunately all the download links on his site don't work so I have no idea where to go from here... Can anyone tell me what I should do?
look in androidandme.com or google rc-33 and g1 rooting and stuff, idk
If you have root now, you can flash the newest cyanogen rom. check out the cyanogen thread in dream development. JF isn't updating roms anymore. Without danger/death/haykuro special spl (search it in these forums), and seeing as how you are new to this I suggest cyanogen ROMS are your best bet Also check out www.cyanogenmod.com and the cyanogenmod wiki.

Depends... do you want a modded-roooted ROM or do you want an official update?

hi there. i highly suggest that you follow previously posted suggestions. as you can see, this is my very first message to post on this forum and i have been a member for over 2 years. i have had my dream/G1 for almost a year now. in that time span, i have gained root access, flashed a couple of haykuro's builds, flashed jesusfreke's ROM, disappeared for awhile, came back, couldn't find jesusfreke anymore. after doing some research, i discovered the genius cyanogen and flashed his ROM, and then another, and then another, until i am finally currently running the 4.2.2 version. i did all of this without knowing a thing about linux and without any hacking or programming skills. i did all of this simply by reading, researching, reading, googling, reading, reading, and more reading. i promise you, everything that you need to know - guides for noobs with step by step instructions - are here in this forum. once you find these guides, try them them out, step by step. if you hit a snag, or something goes wrong, re-read the instructions to make sure you followed them exactly. if you think you did, search for the error that you stumbled upon. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that i'm 100% positive that someone else has had the same problem and it has already been solved and someone else has probably written a guide for the next noob to read once he/she comes across the same error. but he/she just has to find said guide! once you search and find this guide, follow the instructions, if you do not understand something or simply cannot, i mean simply cannot find an answer or help to solve your problem, then i suggest you resort to asking a question. but, only as a last resort.
but, it has been my personal experience that everything i have needed has been either at this forum or found through google search. these developers have not only made me love my phone once again by developing such sweet ROMs, but they even wrote up some very easy to follow guides for the newbies so even we can enjoy them too!
so: research, read, follow instructions exactly as they say, only ask questions if you seriously cannot find the answer after doing some serious serious research, then proceed to flash your phone. hell...if this math lovin' accountant girl here can do it, i'm sure anyone can! but only after hours and hours and pages and pages of reading and researching.
p.s. the very first sticky in this q&a forum shows you what to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
Took the plunge today and Rooted my G1..... flashed phones in the passed bu was nervous about the G1..Dunno why as it went smooth as hell.
I intially flashed to Cyanogen's ROM as I had heard the named mentioned all over forums, news sites etc.....
After playing around I decided to try MLIGN-HeroV3.0 11-12-2009 6:11AM CT
However the ROM is nice, with all the HTC added parts but its slow as hell and my phone shows only 7mb remaining space...
Granted I may have done something wrong, although I follwed a guide to the letter.
So I am now on the look out for a new ROM and wanted some recommendations.
I have a G1 and would really like the Hero Sense UI.
Please any suggestions on ROM are really appreciated and a link to a flashing guide would also really help!

there are many hero roms in the android dev section just try them out
also please post in the correct section next time :\
This post is gonna get deleted/moved by the way....
You probly havent got apps to sd done right, you should have abit more space than tht.
As to the rom you want the only thing you can do is read the rom thread, read others reviews and then try them out, theres not a 'best' rom that will suit all
#1 - Posted in wrong section.
#2 - Read before flashing, although not all Devs describe everthing, MLIGN has a lot of information on how to setup your phone to run this ROM. Search and Read!
Moved to Q&A forum
Winker-Omnia Please Post in the correct Forum next time

list of best rom threads.....so you can read through em and see what everyone has to say
I rarely take a stroll alongside the Android Forums.
But like most other Device forums, there's little need for these indeed.
Ok, I am unsure if this is the right place to ask, so I apologize if it goofed. I thought about posting it in rom development, but I was unsure.
As I have noted before, I am now an amputee. Missing most all fingers on my dominate left hand and my feet. I am looking for a better rom for my Pure, one that will be easy to use. I have used several different themes that made things a little easier ( as suggested by some nice ppl on this forum) but I saw the 6.5.3 and think this would be much easier for me.
I followed so many threads trying to find a simple answer, but no joy.
my question is pretty simple:
Will this rom work on my Pure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528217
Or, does anyone have a better suggestion for a 6.5.3 rom to flash on my Pure?
Thanks!
Smoakeater
That ROM will not work as it is for the Fuze, not the Pure.
Have a look at this ROM.
I assume you have installed Hard SPL?
FYI, ROM Development section is specific for ROM development, General or Q&A is proper place for questions.
Oh, that looks groovy! Cool, what I was wanting. I have yet to install anything yet for flashing a new rom, but I will be soon. I have been pouring through some noob guides for flashing.
Thanks so much!
Smoakeater
You can select your Custom ROM from the ROM Development forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486 for Topaz/Touch Diamond 2.
There are several that you can chose from .
Thanks.
