Hi, I'd recommend you start out by reading this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
First you need to root your device, then you need to install a custom recovery, before you can actually install a custom rom.
It's a learning process, if you've never done something similiar before, but nothing too hard
Both of the 2.3 roms are imo stable enough for daily use, so I'd recommend one of them. Which one you choose is mostly a personal preference.
The holy grail of guides can be found here

1)You can do whatever you want, there are no "basic steps"
Just i suggest you to get used with the stock rom and with android for about one or two weeks and then start rooting and/or installing custom roms...
2)No, not necessarly... You can use basically every custom rom and it will have lagfixes and overclock capable kernel...
3)What do you mean for clean things?
4)Yeah, if you keep staying with the stock rom you'll need it, otherwise when you will switch to a custom rom you will be ok
Thanks for your answer. please name some good custom rom which not buggy.

Well, you could give a try to the devoid #froyo-final or to Nessy #Jince... These two are the "simplest" IMHO... But there are a lot of good froyo roms out there: OpenOptimus, LOL 1.4.2 et cetera...
The reason why you are not getting a lot of specifics is that most of the 2.2 ROMs are very stable, fast with good battery life. It is mainly personal preference at this point.
openOptimus which uses Franco's kernel has most if not all of the tweeks in it. You would probably want to use Darktremor's Apps2SD to make use of the SD card. (A link is provided in the openOptimus thread.)
PS I can not suggest devoid.Franco as Franco is no longer updating it. Once the 2.3 source is released, most if not all development will be on 2.3. In fact, the shift has started with the leaked 2.3 ROM. The existing 2.3 ROMs are good but they have known problems/unresolved issues. I expect that these issues will be resolved over the next couple of months.

do you want to root?
Use gingerbreak apk file if you are using currently froyo 2.2.2
or use z4root for 2.2 or 2.2.1
download rom manager at market.
2. Best custom rom which is not buggy and capable to overclock. Do i need gingerbread custom rom?
mik_os' cyanogenmod 7
plus if you want battery life more, flash franco kernal and wipe dalvik cache and charge till 100percent the wipe battery stats
3. Do i need of custom rom or just need to root and install other hack manually for clean things? Please suggest me on this topic i know this will gave me more headache
if you are lazy to flash a custom rom but just want to overclocking
download overclock at market.
download rom manager its a must.

Hey guys, sorry for this thread. I may sound like a noob but thats only in the flashing and recovery areas. Someone please explain what are custom roms. Is cm7 a custom roms. Once installed, can I revert to the stock rom? How do I get Clockworkmod Recovery.
How do I unbrick a Dell XCD35 aka ZTE Blade.
Device : Del XCD35
A custom ROM is one that has been amended by the cook to suit his taste and specific needs therefore is customized, the opposite of custom is a stock ROM which is the ROM that comes on the device from the manufacturer, out of the box
You can normally revert to stock after a custom be either restoring a backup taken pre custom or running an ruu which is a ROM update program which re installs the original stock roms, you should see these in your devices forum
afraid that I don't know anything about Dell devices so won't comment on recovery install

So I finally made the switch from iphone to an android device. With the Iphone you would jailbreak it. Im guessing here, you would root it and then install a rom?
What do I do if I want to install a rom and then a theme?

First of all u need to root ur device, after this u need to install/flash a kernel with the cwm recovery (u can use easily one of the rooter kernel.made by chainfire), then u can flash the rom, kernel, theme, whatever u want/need directly thru the cwm.

My advice would be to read the threads on the many kernels avaliable all have instructions on how to install... Then when you feel confident make your choice and get yourself rooted. After you understand the process and familiar with CWM and what it is used for use the same process to choose a ROM... Good Luck
In all honesty, I tried loads of roms on my s1 but I have not felt the need for it, or indeed seen any benefit to a custom rom yet, and certainly not one that will out weigh the inevitable bugs in them.
Clockwork rom bootloader is excellent for full back up and restore purposes. Frankly however with this device rooting is enough especially now there are one click solutions for it.
Once rooted there isn't much you can't change or customise. Camera apps, hacked launchers etc
Personally I have found this far more stable and much more interesting than simply installing someone else's work.
OH YES WHILST I REMEMBER FIRST THING TO DO ONCE ROOTED IS BACK UP YOUR /efs FOLDER IMMEDIATELY THIS IS ESSENTIAL!!

Ok so ive been reading the threads and rom section.
I only have 2 question left. My phone atm is on android 2.3.3. In the root thread, I want to get 2.3.5 KI3.
Can I flash the KI3 right away or do I have to update my phone to 2.3.5 and then get the 2.3.5 KI3?
Is Firmware and Modem the samething? I see there both I9100XXKX#
Once I do that, I will root my phone, install cognition rom and then the ICS theme.

I wanna suggest to u the XXKI4 (2.3.5), this is a superb firmware, u can flash directly to this version without any trouble, for the other question, no firmware and baseband/modem are two different things, u can try many basebands cause there are some basebands that works better with ur specific carrier.
So, u should root/install cwm and than cognition and theme.

Help rooting?!
I need serious help to root my phone and to get a ROM on it. I don't really care about it I just have an error in my phone that is caused by water getting into my USB port (i think) any ways I have flashed phones before but only the first Xperia that came out. I have read the guides, over and over. still might as well be reading chinese. I need to take off that damn voice talk crap. anyone close to the washington dc area willin to help? I can pay you and if need be I can just send my phone away to someone maybe? I currently do not have a back up phone this is why this is such a problem for me send me a message here or email me at [email protected]
Be more specific what exactly is the error you are getting? And how did it start.

My doubts are as follows:
1) If for example, I am on a specific firmware. Now if there is a custom ROM based on a different firmware, will I have to root my phone on that firmware first or can I directly install that custom ROM?
2) This is not exactly a doubt, but sort of a complaint that why don't developers provide download links to previous versions of their ROMs? It would really help those who want to download specific versions of the ROM.

1)If you are already rooted you can install a custom rom via recovery and as always you should also factory reset the phone before installing a custom rom.
2)It really depends on the dev. Some devs have the download links of older roms, some not. If not, you can ask it on the roms thread.
Hope this answers your questions

I have installed Rom toolbox pro on my phone. I want to install a rom like cyanogen mod on it . Is it safe??? Can i do this by using rom toolbox.
Also would this upgrade my phone's OS.
Please if anyone can help me then give a detailed guide and download links. Thank you all.
Yes its save to install but you have to follow the installing instructions carefully like wiping data/cache/dalvik cache/system/ in the recovery. It won't work if you don't have any official recovery installed in your phone like cwm. Hopefully you know about what I'm talking.
