Is there a post on how to root, install roms? Was looking into getting a Nook Color, just want to see how simple it is to put in Froyo or Gingerbread or Honeycomb.
Thanks

It depends on exactly what you want to put on your device, and how complex you want it to be, but for the most part, doing something like CM7 is as simple as downloading a disk image (CWM 3.0.0.6) and a zip (CM7 build), burning it onto a SD card, putting it into your nook and using the recovery to burn the zip to your device. I was able to fix mine up the first time in like twenty minutes. The other nice thing about this device also is that, even if you really screw it up, to where it can't boot, theres always a way to get it to load *something* to where you can fix any issues you may have. Even at its most screwed up, it doesn't take longer than an hour or two to fix.
Look HERE for tutorials to get pretty much anything installed. I recommend the Cyanogenmod Tutorials.
There are so many options with this thing (Stock, Froyo, Gingerbread, HC, install on the SD or not, overclock) it would be nice if there was some kind of traceable diagram!

Thanks for reply. I was looking at the gtablet and it has like a faq. Looking at the Nook Color, it seems to be alot easier to root and install android.

I am using the latest official ROM, but want a faster version. Can anyone reccomend a custom ROM that is mostly based on the official only stripped out and sped up? I dont want to go too custom. Make sense?
Hmmm, you don't seem that new so i'm surprised you asked this :S. There are different ROMs and you should try them ALL out (yes, i said all) to see which one best fits your needs. You have no idea how tedious and stressful (at times) cooking a ROM could be so it's only fair you go try them all out and decide for yourself
I asked only because there seem to be SO many, and I really just want a simple paired down plain-old stock rom. Nothing fancy, just a few "speed her up" tweaks built in. I wasnt about to ask in the ROM thread, thats suicide.. I thought here would be ok.
I have posted some here and lurked for a while now, but only flashed like twice. 1 custom then the 6.1 official. I am not a big flash junkie, only a speed freak.
Anyone got a suggestion?
Suggestion

I you want stock go with "Imnotatreofan" ROM - Stock At&T 6.1 ROM with no bloatware - I have run it and it is very good.
If you want F-A-S-T - the try the "NoThrills" ROM - I am currently running this one and love it. Sorry I don't have links, I just saw your post and thought I would reply.
Useless Thread. Best is Subjective. Try them all. They are like Pokemon, Must Collect them all!
*THUMP*

I searched and searched and cant find a thread with a definite answer for this. And there is simply too much info that is close to the answer but not quite it.
Basically I have a Rogers HTC Dream that I rooted with haykuro spl/radio method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
and CyanoGen's MOD 4.0.2. Now Im not sure but do I already have Cyanogen's recovery image 1.4 ( i want it for auto APPS2SD) or do I have to reflash my phone with it and will it still work with haykuro's rogers root. Thank you for you help

all you have to do is reflash the rom, no wiping should be needed, but from what i have read then yes it is needed.

I have no idea what the Theme is, but I would specifically love to get this clock. I have used the search, and I have spent time looking for it on my own.

Do I push this file? I'm new to this.
EDIT: I think I need to flash this. If so I do not need to wipe anything do I? Just put in root of SD card and flash right?

I flashed this file, and after a very long boot I have this wonderful clock. Thank you for your time. Worked on Fresh 2.3.2.
Thanks Again.
I got the clock but now I want that wallpaper.
With this flash, will I still have the option of returning to original 7 htc hero clocks?

You keep all the original clocks, but one this replaces is gone.

I made this one that looks great with it.
Just to share.
I found out today by flashing an accurate battery mod for the Desire HD that it works on the Thunderbolt also. You must be deodexed to use this and I have only personally tested it on Adryns debloat ROM. Credit to bgill55 for his services.jar and Krzysiec for his framework as all I did was throw them in one zip for convenience.

Awesome, flashing now! Can now keep an eye on battery lvls instead of guessing what i might be at when looking at the icon!
Got it to install, but now my phone is crashed on it... lol
Hey, so I installed it with rom manager, was that wrong?
because everytime my phone boots up, it now crashes on the lockscreen
EDIT: ALL good, i am restoring it now... my bad, what is the correct protocol to install, sorry im a newb
I installed through rom manager and it installed fine. What rom are you running?
i'm looking for this one:
You could swap the images yourself, it's easy enough.

You must be deodexed, which stock isn't. At least have to flash the debloat rom as that will deodex you.
Ok...I know this has probably been asked a few times but I am on my phone and would like to know thos before I get home.
So I am going to root and flash a Tom on the g1 I just got for my friend. I was thinking about trying both cm6 and cm7 and seeing which one runs better on this phone.
After I root and clash the custom recovery will I be able to go straight to froyo or gingerbread or must I flash the correct radios/spls first.
I found a few good guides on how to root and get a recovery but if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to get to cm6 or cm7 it would he much appreciated. I want to make sure I get this down before doing it so I don't brick his new phone. I am onlybfamiliar with rooting/flashing roms on samsung phones and the thunderbolt.
Thank you in advance for any help you guys can give me.

instead of cm6 i would use froyo by laszlo which is the same but much smoother with a theme. for cm7 go with cm7 magpie which is the fastest in my opinion. both roms use radio 28.25 ( on the threads. magpie doesn't have a thread.) and hboot 13d.
