Hi All,
I've got a rooted 2.1 milestone - are there any guides on how to install themes? Is it different to the droid? I've seaeched by cannot find aynthing.
Any help much appreciated.
Joe
anyone have any ideas?
There have been, but limited. Don't try using droid ones, wont work on the milestone. Buuf was ported, andshould be in that thread around XDA somewhere. Android Hlife de also has a good amount if you read german.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forums and I have been thinking whether to root my phone or not, mainly for warranty purposes as I just got it a few weeks ago.
My question is, if I do root the phone, are there custom Froyo 2.2 roms available on this site and if so a)can you please link them to me and b) explain how to install?
I would like to also hear some input/feedback to what's the pros and cons of rooting my phone and if its actually worth it and what happens if something happens and I can't fix it?
I really appreciate with all the help I can get and thanks
I'm new here myself but haven't you ever heard of Google my child? Or heck, search the forums there are plenty of them explaining how to.

At the moment there is one ROM which you can use for your daily used one.
- Azure from Ali Bau (take a look at the thread)
I use the ROM since two weeks and don't have any issue.

Thanks for information. All I have to do is, do more research and find out how to root my phone, and install the custom ROM
I recently rooted and flashed my nexus one for the first time! It was really easy and I flashed CM6.1 to it. Can anyone recommend any other roms there are and maybe some of the different things that each rom contains? I am very curious to know what each offers. Also any rooted apps that anyone would be able to recommend would be great. Thanks in advance.
Look around the forums and you will find a bunch of them.
1) Read the ROMs page in Wiki (look at my signature).
2) Look in Development forum.
ROM Bible is also a good thread:

I am happily on a nexus s... and in the past, I have rooted and flashed the nexus one, desire hd, galaxy tab and now my nexus s... however, I have a friend that has a rogers captivate... and he just wants to run froyo....
is it safe to assume, it is just as easy as rooting and flashing a custom rom?
Any links or suggestions appreciated, I never care when I tinker with MY devices... but this is a friends.... thx in advance

Short answer to your question is yes it that easy. The link its to the dev forum. There are too many options and choices, best to read and make an informed decision

are you talking about the roms? What is the easiest method of gaining root access on the capitivate? thx
I guess I will read up on it once I have his phone in front of me!
thx
Yeah, it's really just as easy as following the steps. If the Cappy is fairly new it seems it won't have the issues that plagued the earlier runs of this phone so just pick a ROM and go for it.

I am fairly certain that the CDMA "milestone" is actually the droid, while the GSM verison with the locked bootloader is GSM. The roms are quite different from both phones. If I am incorrect, please correct me. (This is from my understanding and I take no responsibility if something happens to your device). Also, you should check the model in settings and system info and see if it says milestone or not. (I'm pretty sure it would say droid if its a droid and milestone if its a milestone) Once again anyone please feel free to correct me.
Please press the thanks button if I helped!
I believe you are correct sir...its a rebranded bastard step child of a droid...it says A854 in the model settings...no milestone anywhere in system info. Yes the GSM versions are quite differnet
thanks all for feedback

Welcome,
You should start searching Android Development section. There are plenty of tutorials, this one is good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516
This is the best tutorial out there (it's for cm7, but the same applies to every rom) http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/
After you've read the tutorial and prepared your phone, look arount in the milestone rom section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=670
Hint: CM7 is the fastest rom, CM9 is slower but has the advantages of the latest google apps and so on, CM10 is more recent but the slowest.
