There is no best ROM, it's subjective. Find one you like the look of and give it a go, don't like it, try another.

I understand m8 but I'm kinda new to all this flashing custom Rom stuff and just want a stable and fast Rom that does everything the stock 2.2 does and more with the g1 only cm was available through Rom manager so just used that where the desire has a lot of options lol

Do you want stock Android or Stock HTC Sense?

I like sense but can do without it

If you want sense you should either go for a SenseHD rom, or a MoDaCo one.
If you want stock Android, I would recommend CyanogenMod!
You know you don't need to download and flash roms solely through ROM Manager?

My advice is just to look at the ROM forum and download the one with the most hits, it's popular for a reason. There are really only two different types of ROM, Sense and the stock Android bundled usually with ADW.Launcher. It's not like WM where there are a plethora of different mods and registry changes, at least not in my limited experience.

I agree just neva been this spoilt for choice

have you updated to Froyo yet? As far as I know, they are just 2.2 Froyo radios. So if you have updated to 2.2 chances are you don't need to update. (Double check with the radio thing, I am an Android newbie as well so I am not 100% sure.)
As for the kernel, as far as I know you don't need to update this either.

For Sense roms I strongly suggest LeeDroid, and Desire HD roms I'd go for RCMixHD (Camera still not working yet, but it should be fixed soon), non Sense roms, go for OpenDesire, Cyanogen or MIUI

Agreed, if you want to try something refreshingly different, try MIUI.

Still ain't a clue which one to try lol
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

well try Leedroid first, then MIUI for non-sense, and see if you are attracted to sense or not

Also try CyanogenMod or OpenDesire to see if you like Stock Android.
There is no harm in trying different roms and switching if you want!

I've used cm 6 before Ive not flashed roms without using Rom manager and leeroid isn't available through that there's only a small section like cm, defrost nd others
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

IT's not too hard
1. Download Leedroid rom from their minisite's dropbox folder.
2. copy file onto your sd card
3. reboot into recovery
Important part!!
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
i. select backup/restore
ii. select backup and let it rip
iii. return to menu
4. select flash .zip
5. find the leedroid rom & select it

Cheers for help just one more question once I've flashed a custom Rom if I ever wanted to return to stock how would I go about doing it

This is exactly what you are looking for. And I highly recommend it as I have used it for over a month with no issues at all.
Read up on this link and go for it. It is just like stock but very fast.
You can also flash a new kernel which I also recommend from pershoot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9575341&postcount=1

Just curious as to why you specifically didn't want Cyanogenmod?
When I first got my first android phone I really didn't think I'd ever need anything more than a rooted stock rom, but after trying CM6 (which was the latest at the time), I never wanted to be on a stock ROM. CM really gives you the feeling of the stock rom (I even just install the stock launcher instead of ADW) but with tons of useful improvements in speed, battery life, and usability.
Not trying to persuade, but just wonderin I always keep a rooted stock 2.2 backup just in case, but I've been using CM7 as my daily for couple weeks now and its great.

The swype keyboard thats why I dindt put it, I dindnt make a backup

He had it deleted because xHausx posted the stock rooted ROM 1st... plus he wasnt feeling well.. there are the odex and de-odex versions up

thanks man....i should know this but I dont...whats the diffetence between the two? again ty

one more thing...im so confused I dont know where to start if I want to try this...im on konis e3 if that helps...again thanks, if u dont want to help and give a walk thru I understand
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

The deodexed version is themeable, the odex version has a slightly faster boot time and uses less space in system. That's the quick and dirty answer, anyway. If you want to modify it at all, flash the deodexed version, otherwise just flash the odexed version.
You're going to flash it the same way you'd flash any other rom. Follow the directions in the thread, I'm not sure if you'll need to flash the updated radios, etc. If you don't know how to flash a rom - I know you have a custom rom installed, but a lot of people have someone else root/flash for them - there should be a walkthrough floating around somewhere. If you need help or just want clarification, shoot me a pm. I have a fairly lengthy write up on everything to do with rooting/flashing/recovery/etc, I'd be happy to send you that or help you out.

The wimax, prl, and radio are optional; they will update what the are supposed to. You'll only brick your phone if you do a battery pull/battery dies during an update of the radio. You don't have to update any of those if you don't want to, but just wipe the cache and dalvik, then flash if you want to.

thank man...whats the benefit of updating those, which kernal should I use andwhats I hear its sense 1.0?
arent we on like 2.0 something?

Nothing really besides having an updated connection possibilities...PRI can affect your battery, but if its good, no need to change it. Yea, its sense 1.0, and there are sense 3.0 roms out there.

why would an upgrade downgrade like it did? whar the difference between 3 and 1¿

you wont be able to update just the sense part of your 2.3.4. you will need to download a custom ROM that has sense 3.0 or higher already built into it.

then will i have to re-root? Do you know of such a rom?

you wont loose root because you will flash the rom in recovery. just keep an eye on the development section

[Q] [AOSP] Incredible 2 OMFGB(OMGB) Help?

I have been running through rubbish sense based ROMs that are easily flashable in clockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.0 , and i need to get cm7 ,right.. (excuse my n00b-ness) But how do i go about getting that , and then how do i go about installing the aosp ROMs? Also, nightlie, (checking to see if i researched correctly) They are basically over the air updates ect,ect.? Correct or am i missing something completely ? Help a n00b out. You'll get your thanks obviously =]

Cm7 is an aosp ROM all to itself. You don't need to run this ROM if you don't want to. But, a lot of people love cm7.
There are several aosp roms that are also very good. Liquid, miui, omfgb... To name a few.
Nightlies are roms that are built by a computer program. This process is used to develop a stable ROM. For the most part, nightlies are buggy and don't always completely work. As a noob, these might frustrate you. I would stick to a stable version. Just my opinion, try them if you want to.
Aosp roms are flashed in the same manner as a sense based ROM. Through recovery. It is important to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and do a factory data reset when you interchange between sense and aosp roms.
I hope I have answered some of your questions. XDA is an excellent place to expand your knowledge. Your noobness will wear off soon...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297536
Here is a link to the stable cm7 ROM. You will need to download the ROM itself, and the Google apps (gapps) .zip files.
Do a full wipe, flash the rom, then flash the gapps file. This can be done in the same recovery session, no need to reboot first. But... Flash the ROM first, gapps second.
Also, check the stickies in the general section. There are several guides that fellow members have writen to help people who are new to all of this. I have found them quite helpful.
