So I finally decided to root my N1 after owning it for about 7 months now, I'm sick of using the stock theme, I want to black out my status bar and have a cool theme on it, so any suggestions?
Complete newb.
Should I flash a new rom? Any fast roms that look almost stock but with more of a galaxy vibrant look to it?
All newbies should start with Cyanogen. I did it and it was worth it. Try Cyanogen Mod v6.0.0. If you are feeling adventurous then try one of the MIUI based roms... its different.
Eh I wouldn't say that since cyanogen doesn't come with gApps. Start with something like leofroyo or something with a blackbar mod and move from there. Once you've flashed a few times and are confident in your abilities, move on to cyanogen and learn2play.
Why not start out with Geo's ROM ? Almost stock but has a black bar add on

Can anyone provide instructions on how to flash a new rom? Should I just download the rom file, rename it to update.zip and do it from recovery? How would I go about flashing Geo's ROM?
Do I also need to unlock bootloader?
You don't need to unlock the bootloader (I haven't), but you will need a custom recovery.
Read the wiki for 'how to':

Hello all,
I currently have N1 rooted, but curretly still using FRF91 STOCK ROM.
I am a little bit confused on how to modify my N1.
Actually I am planning to flash it with CyanogenMod when the Full Version is out and then instal Metamorphs.
But when I saw the metamoprphs, all are modification bit by bit, it's kinda tiring to find the cool combination of the theme.
any suggestion for the best ROM and the UI modification?
thx before
Do you want sense? It not I'd just go with cm6.
so CM 6 is the answer eh?
is the RC1 stable enough?

There are some quirks here a there but they are isolated problems I think. Its been stable for me so far without any problems.
Now I'm on CM 6 RC1
what next?
I would like to use themes or modify UI. SHould I use metamorph?

there are plenty of different themes, some require flashing from the recovery while others are easier and you can just do it through metamorph. go to the themes and app section and browse around for a theme you like
I've just installed LauncherPro. It brought a new touch to my phone
I'm going to try themes next
great, I've flashed a theme and I got a boot loop!
Hey guys I'm a noob and sprint decided to give me a hero do to my defective noment I took it over the intercept because of the support here on XDA and I've been lookin around and I like but my question remains what's the best rom for the cdma hero that will still allow the flasplayer to work any ideas or ways to keep makin it work. THANX
Unfortunately, full flash support can not be achieved. There's a light version out there, but I don't know how well it works.

I believe Nfinite's Roms have Flash Lite, and then using a browser like Skyfire gives additional flash support as it deals with it server side.
Use Nfinites rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024 there and then do a search for Zen's Any Kernal with no Perflock. It makes it an extremely snappy Sense Rom. Only Sense has the Flash working, none of the AOSP roms do I believe.
Only downside is Nfinite is on Hiatus due to some personal stuff but he has popped back in and said he isn't gone, just dealing with it and plans to update again soon.
my replyo
ok thanx so fo example even I port the flash light apk (htc flash player) can I at least use that on the aosp rom or the cm 6 or does they need the sense to even aollow it to work ? I just want to be ready to root asap when the hero arrives tomorow
You cannot use those functions in an AOSP rom, has to be with sense.
Ok one last thing before I do this once I get my recovery going and I'm rooted of course I do a data wipe then apply a zip (rom) file correct and if I want to try other roms repeat the proscces. Right just want to make sure. That's how I would do it on my moment

Yes you would go to recovery, do a factory reset, wipe Dalvik, Cache, etc and then you can flash the new zip for the rom you wish to try.
Most roms will have a sort of guide or instructions, some have things specific to the rom being flashed, so make sure and read the full post, and maybe browse the thread for tidbits that users have had to say about the rom.

sorry i dint get you. is there no custom rom available which has 2.2???
By "no" im guessing he meant no..its not that hard bro. if u can write u can read... give a man a fish bla bla bla....
N1
the problem is i have done all the initial steps like unlocked boot loader and rooted after that flashed recovery img now phone has no display so any idea what can be done so i dont go to more than 2.2 thanks
can i flash this one on the nexus one FRF50, Froyo??
LINK
anyone know or can help regarding this please???
If you want to try cyanogenmod, you could install 6.1.1 (based on some form of 2.2.x), I loved it when I was using it (more features and faster than stock), it does looks slightly different from stock 2.2.x though. But I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for in a ROM so please be a little more specific with what you want it to do.
And to the other two dudes who posted, be nice, and don't hate.
As one above me says try cyanogen 6.11
But first you need a proper recovery as it seems you have a slcd device.
Amon Ra 2.2.1 works well on my slcd nexus. Then you can flash whatever you like
Also why dont you try cyanogenmid 7.0? its just awesome blows froyo away, also you might like miui (stable is froyo based. Enough possebilities
To the ppl above: give the guy a break, ok he posted in the wrong section but that doesnt mean you can act like a douche

New to android world and looking for first rom. On stock Froyo 2.2, rooted, clockwork installed. Which rom can be installed without Odin? Do kernels have to be installed separate, if so, is it before or after rom install? Looking for sense-like ui.
Thanks!!

If you want sense go buy a HTC lol. Odin is going to be your bread and butter since its the easiest way to flash to stock and flash kernels. Most roms can be installed without odin though. Go to the dev page and look around at the roms and make your choice. Remember Gingerbread needs new bootloaders (except Cyanogenmod and Miui) and as always read read read.

Using this link to ROOT LG Thrill 4G
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-lg-thrill-4g-with-super-one-click-app-guide/
What's the best ROM that may allow me to still have 3D & will remove potential Bloatware from the phone?
This is my first ROOT, any help or suggestions?
I just need some good ROM suggestions, maybe something that will change the Dock Bar(Bottom of Screen). Or give me a feel like Motoblur.
Just suggest some.
close to stock but without bloatware
definatelly thriller rom
but a slim down rom then you should go with doom slim
i tried both and for now i'm going back to thriller
follow the steps on thriller and you won't go wrong, i didn't!
I am currently on thriller and am using the lunar ui theme, its nice. I haven't had time yet but I was planning on trying doomed froyo slim Becquerel it is the roms with current and up to date devs support, where as gtg is now working with the galaxy s2 so I don't see thriller rom getting much support in the future.
It was a little tough getting the cwm recovery on, but I followed the guide on here and everything is working fine.
I also like the ics theme, I think I'm gonna go back to that theme, but ill probably switch back and forth

Follow the steps. With you saying that I'm lost, and thanks for the recommendation.
Is there steps? If so how 'WOULD' I find them? Sorry, first time ROOTER here.
And where would I place these ROMs? I know there's supposed to be a ROM folder or do I have to make it? I'm just trying to get as much info as possible, please work with me despite my troubles.
Where would I place ROMs? And do any of these ROMs change the Dock at the bottom?

How do I change my UI?
Please don't be frustrated with my questions.
Ok, so I've Backed Up my ROM. But how do I change my UI and what are the choices I've got of ROMs?
This should be moved to the general section as it doesn't have any development involved in it.
Please post questions in the "general" section unless you are actively developing something.
