Read through all of these guides to get an idea.

The most popular roms I believe people are using for their G2 are:
Virtuous Sense / DZ
CyanogenMod

I'll look at those.Thx
I appreciate the response. I'll also check out Android.com 2c if they have some files that I can download to my PC for preparation of rooting my G2. Is it any specific file name/site any1 can help we with as well? Thx in Advance.

I'm a little confused about what u are asking, but if ur trying to find out what u need in preparation to root I suggest u do a lot of reading. Read those two threads about rooting posted 2 posts above me. They will tell u which files u need depending on which method u choose. I personally suggest rage but please be sure to READ everything thoroughly and also learn to use adb. Search xda for guides to use adb.

This was a big help for me when I started the whole adb and sdk process.

In the detail of the video you'll get all the link. Get the "JDK" Java.

[Q] Root Htc Desire

Hi If I Root my HTC Desire and for the moment do nothing else ,will my phone be any faster and can I download better Apps ,or do I have to Flash another ROM.
Chris

There are sooooo many posts about this..... Ever heard of the search button??

No mate... Rooting will not give you any advantage as such you will have to flash a custom rom for that!!
@dexter atleast answer the question before flaming the poster to go look for search button.... I think your post is as useless as the person not using the search feature.

Your phone doesn't get faster,... with root permissions.
You can install another kernel (I don't know if it works with the stock rom to "overclock" the cpu and use e.g. SetCpu to set the min and max frequences.
The best way to customize the phone is a Custom Rom - just go to the Desire Android Development forum to have a look at them.
You are able to install more apps (just search for root in the market) and a Custom Rom, Kernel,...
So please have a look at the forum (noob threads, Roms,...)

[THEME] For any ROM. Yup, any single ROM.

So if your like me and like to change the theme's of your phone this is literally the website to do it!
uot.dakra.lt/kitchen <---- Copy/Paste that in your address bar.
It's a theme kitchen and it works on any phone, any ROM, and any version of Android (2.2 , 2.3)
-----------
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. I'm not at fault here, they even have a Youtube video on how to do it.
Sorry guys, let me lay things straight before confusion and cyber authority kick in, I DID NOT CREATE THIS KITCHEN. I give ALL credit to the person who put their life into it, please donate to them.
I just saw this on the internet and wanted to share with the XDA family!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay guys, some of you are having trouble with the kitchen, I'll just break down the instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Whatever ROM your CURRENTLY using, open it and find the Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
{Remember, it'll only work with your current ROM, flashing it to another ROM will send you in a never ending boot, because I've done that, anyways, if you change ROMS, you need to re-cook the whole theme with your new current ROM's APK's}
2. Choose your selections, generate previews and what not
Froyo ROMS do not support transparent ANYTHING so do not select it. If your on a Gingerbread ROM then your good and you can check 'enable transparency in status bar' in the Status Bar section
3. Upload your APK's in correct order in the 'File Upload' category
4. As soon as step 3 has been performed, go to 'Summary' and hit 'Submit to Kitchen' If a category is red simply go back and generate the preview
5. If you get an error log in the 'Pickup' page, I don't know what happens so sadly you have to go re-cook your ROM again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys this should work like a charm with little to no trouble, I'm young and did this with a breeze.
Happy Theme-ing everybody!

Screen shots please =]

Thanks for the link man!!!! I just went and tried it out, and tweaked some things on a theme I have already now it's lookin really sweet!!! Thanks again!
@G1rome....It is a site so you can make your own custom themes, no screen shots available.

Original thread located in the "Android Themes" section:

Great find and thanks for sharing it in the G2 community, best way to theme a rom with your own personal preferences.

I gave this a try, seems easy & straightforward to use. However, do you have to make a donation in order to submit your created theme to that kitchen?

UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS

Will this work with stock rom.

@cubanito151 If you follow the instructions carefully it will.
It works on all roms.

Anyone else having issues with the mods sticking? I only did the battery icon mod and it worked at first but now its gone and back to the stock look.
This is pretty lame that its not sticking and reverts back to the old battery icon.

@TL24
What ROM are you using?
And when will it not stick? When you do a reboot?

Building a rom

Are you here scrosler? I have been looking for help on how to build a rom for the months. I have pmed over a dozen developers and none would help. I would love some help. Even if it is only a point to a web site with detailed info. Like i said i got the kitchen installed was able to decompile an already complete rom and looked around and recompiled it but the whole updater script i know nothing about and what parts of the rom does what. I would love to make my own rom but have no idea where to go. I have checked out the android development section here on xda but honestly i need a little more beginner than i have seen. I guess the first step would be how to compile it correctly do it will run and how to do this do it will not brick my phone. Would really love any help i can get.

[Q] Is the stock rom "good enough"?

I'm taking over a friends old R800i next week and I'm really looking forward to it since I've wanted one of these since about when it was released.
What I'm looking for is a rom that gives me all the usual stuff - GSM connection, working 3G, wifi, gps, sms, mms, camera - but, will a custom rom give me better performance for emulation?
I want to be able to emulate all kinds of consoles without losing too much performance due to the rom - nor do I want my battery to get drained while the phone isn't in use. I'm of course ready to try a bunch of roms and I have looked at some of the threads, without learning much to be honest. I'm not even up to date with who's roms are the stable ones or which is the highest SE provided rom for Play either.
Looking to emulate N64, nes, PS and sega genesis, mainly.

If you root and debloat the stock rom, you will get excellent gaming performance. I went rom using custom roms and went back to stock as it provided the best performance all around.

Have a quicklist of which items to uninstall? Is there timescape and other such stuff on the Play?
Also, which android version do you use? 2.3.4?

Was waiting for a thread like this,

as i know editing the build.prob without adding the setup wizard again will solve the problem(there is aline about setup wizard in build.prob. but i cant test it now)

Well Pizza_dox is an asshat refusing to answer on relevant questions in the thread he made for "the perfect setup", so I need a reliable source to go after since I have no idea what following the guide he provides will actually do to the phone (and I'm not going to learn by failing, hence why I ask questions which she/he refuses to respond properly to)

Dude sorry... But I might have been bussy and forgot to check the thread...

Please act respectful: PizzaDox has opened many manu threads, and he can't be repling at all of them.
Anyway debloating a rom is simple and can be done by everyone that wants to, by extracting the system.sin from your .79 ftf, dumping its data with flashtool in order to make it a yaffs img, extracting it with a yaffs extractor and then removing the apps located into "app" that you consider as bloat
