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.

Hi guys,
First, sorry for my English... I'm Brazilian... =x
Well... i have bought a LG P500 and i really don't know what i will do with it, because i don't understand this whole thing about custom roms, kernel, custom recovery, ...
But i'm reading some articles and i'm in a doubt... what i do?
I install a Custom ROM (like void forever 2.3.4)?
or
I install the 2.3 GB (Officil FW)?
Thanks!

void. #forevah.
LOL. "What is the best" asks for a nice flamewar. Would suggest to use the phone with stock FW for a while, perhaps just root it and continue reading.
Why?
The one advantage that I (a noob) can see, is the language (the void rom is available in PT-BR, but the official FW is available only in PT-PT... =s).
The official FW can allow me to fix the touch bug?
And what is the other advantages? It is really faster? The perfomance is better?
Thanks!

The stock FW? Froyo or Gingerbread? And why? I'm thinking my p500 a little slow... and the touch bug? =\

Since you're new in this I'd suggest you to take it easy atm. especially while we have ported gb, official gb, different basebands etc etc you'll get confused. Keep your current stock, root it and try to install recovery. After that you should try flashing some froyo roms or CM or andy's and you see how it goes. Baby steps

There is no touch bug on 2.3.3 stock ROM. Other than that - really, take your time and do some reading. You are asking horribly generic questions.

Sorry for the questions...
And I'm already doing some reading about custom firmware and this whole thing...
I just want to know your opinions about this... if is better a cfw or the official GB fw
Thanks!
Hi, fellow brazilian here. I suggest you start by rooting your phone, install recovery then install franco.kernel v18cfs. It will fix the touch bug, speed up ur phone and will give you great battery life. This way youll have a tottaly bug free device.
As others said, wait a little before installing a custom rom. They all have little bugs, enjoy stock froyo for a while and keep reading the forum.

Try Mik ROm based on 2.3.4. This is best so far with franco kernel V18

Oh, yes...
I have read about this Custom ROM! In a poll in this forum, it is winning with a good difference...
Well, can you answer three questions, please? =D
1 - This Custom is really better than Noejn's?
2 - It is available in my language? (PT-BR)
3 - How many points this custom makes in a benchmark?
Thanks!
=D
After flashing recovery, don't forget to make a complete nandroid backup from custom recovery, before you start messing with your phone... So u can always restore your current firmware.
..
Erm and copy it to pc..

After rooting, flashing custom recovery and kernel, I have to make the nandroid backup, right?
Obs.: I have the OFW Backup. The backup that you are talking about is from the custom recovery, right?
Thanks!
And about my questions in the past post?

Root, install recovery and do a nandroid backup. Its easier to restore the stock rom using recovery, and safer too.
I can see you are eager to install gb on your device, despite our suggestion to keep your stock rom for a while. Then i suggest you flash mik's cm7, IMO the best rom out there.
Every rom based on cm7 has pt-BR, and in my experience mik's cm7 + franco.kernel + ungaze's data2sd is the fastest combo available.

Obrigado, amigo nordestino! =D
But what is "ungaze's data2sd" and where i can get the PT-BR version?
Thanks! ;D
Edit.:
I didn't found the tutorial about the Nandroid Backup... anyone can send it to me?
And now I know what is data2sd... =D
Thanks!
Edit²:
What rooting i should do?
SuperOneClick or z4root?
And what Custom Recovery? Mik's?
Thanks again!
Please, someone!
XD
ungaze data2sd is script for making some memory of your sd card function as phone memory....so that you can install more apps without moving them all time to sd.....as suggested go step by step....
1.root your phone using gingerbreak.
2.install rom manager from market.
3.install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager.(dunno abt language)
4.reboot into recovery and do a backup of rom.(nand :there is an option in rom manager menu too :"backup rom")
5.flash franco 18.1.
6.flash rom of your choice.(mik /andy/noejn anyone .....better ones from them are on the way)
take your time after each step...dont be in a hurry...and complete this before asking other questions!!
hit thanks if i helped you
Thanks man!
But, one question...

The nand backup made by rom manager is the same backup made by Custom Recovery?
Thanks!
I'm already rooted and already flashed the bionix rom for 2.1.
However, I've switched back.
My question is, can I just flash to any version? Let's say the simply honey one for example?
yes you can
read install instructions for the rom you want to flash, most can just be flashed over another but recommend going back to 2.1 but not necessary
coming and going to some roms need you to start at 2.1
so just be sure to reead the op and some of the thread

Man, there is just soo much to read that it can sometimes hurt our poor little pathetic brains! There are some brilliant people here on XDA and it makes me feel so jealous Lol
I tried to Flash a rom using ROM Manager (I had successfully rooted my phone too) but when all was done, I was back on Eclair instead of some other Rom! Still can't understand how could that happen? I mean I did a whole WIPE thing too!

did you flash clockwork recovery from rom manager ??
Hey everyone,
I've already rooted my Droid Incredible, and it was an pretty simple process to do. I've browsing around these fascinate forums for a little bit as my wife wants me to root hers to get rid of a lot of the bloat, and possibly check out other Roms. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the correct guides as one says that it is basically old info, and another just seems to be old to me.
So I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction for a guide is all as if I break her phone, I'm sure she'll Lorena Bobbit me.
Much appreciated!
u dont need to root ur phone if u want install custom rom cos most of custom rom already rooted all have to do is choose what rom u wanna flash and choose the right recovery (use Odin) for that rom and u all good

most rom did that for u ..
what he is saying is once you use ODIN to install clockwork recovery, all you do is flash a ROM after wiping and resetting your phone, and you have a custom rom installed. I am assuming your wife's Fassy is running the latest OTA, whichever it is....download ODIN to a PC, there are a couple guides out there that include ODIN, and the ED05 rom/PIT combo. directions are pretty straight forward as most roms have them in the first post. read up on the ROMs and decide which you would like to run, being a Cyanogen man since the OG Droid, I would recommend it...fast, good battery life...but MIUI is a really slick rom as well, a little iphone-ish as you have to have all your apps on your homescreens, but Folders help you there...and you can still have widgets...the ability to have Android widgets are one of the many reasons why iPhones will never be in my hand...
anyway, check out the instructions to unbrick and also to return to anyother rom from a CM7/MIUI build as they completely change the filesystem, so if you want to go back to Touchwiz based roms, you will need to go through ODIN again with the ED05/PIT package before installing TW roms...
enjoy and ask away, plenty of helpful people here, but always search search search, you may find your answer faster than waiting for responses on the forum!
I agree with the above, but if you only want to root the stock rom then follow this guide in link.

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.
