None. Depends on the ROM. Most can be downloaded and selected from settings either from Market or from the ROM's own setting options. The thread for the specific ROM will have all the info you need about themes.

They are alternative (customised) software (put simply).

Yea I am also wondering about this. I am new to the Android system. I did flash the rom on my Motorola Q9c and HTC TP2, but still trying to understand the whole android thing. Thanks..
I think theres a forum called Q&A where questions like this might already be answered, if you're too lazy to find that. Use the search function.

1. Wrong forum
2. No love for kernels? only ROMs?
3. Remove FoxHound, it is a plagiarized ROM. Read last post of the thread for more info.

Easiest way to get 1.29 ?

Hi
I am locked on Three and have issues with storage (using about 3GB but tells me i am using 24GB) and I understand that the update to 1.29 should resolve this.
I have been reading around and trying to figure out the safest and simplest way to do this but I must admit to feeling a bit overwhelemed with the different options and possible steps.
I have never rooted a phone before (if that is what I need to do) and would appreciate it if someone could advise what the minimum is I need to do to allow we to get updates without relying on Three?
Thanks
I guess your best bet is to root it and flash a custom ROM.

Use Joe's link to root it. I can personally recommend you ARHD as the ROM.
