First, back everything up with the "Backup Rom" option in Rom manager (also called a nandroid backup). Download the Rom (.zip) you want and put on root of your SD card as a zip file, Reboot into recovery with Rom manager. Data wipe, cache wipe, and choose install zip from SD. Reboot you phone. And that's it your new Rom should be up and running. First boot up usually takes a few minutes as it is building ur cache. If there are any problems try searching the forum b/c it has probably already been addressed.
Usually the steps are listed in the Op of a forum on how to install a specific Rom but the steps are pretty much the same.
Virtuous is a good Rom, its Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0. But u should give VillainRoms SenseGinger a try, it is Android 2.3 with Sense 2.1. The latest is pretty stable and fast, and it keeps getting updated.

I do have what might be a silly question on this topic, however it has been bothering me and I don't dare try it. I change my rom A LOT because I like to play around and try out the new stuff but I usually end up going back to CM7. at the moment I have a backup of each ROM I've tried so far in case I want to go back to play with it or update it if it gets updates. Whenever I change roms I do a factory restet and a cache wipe. is that necissary? or can you just install zip over whatever is there like you do with CM nightly updates?

You can but it is often recommended to wipe because of lingering data that might not match up with your current rom. sometimes it could be just fine and sometimes cause problems. so it really just depends on what roms your using. Personally i just wipe data and cache when jumping between roms unless its just a patch or update.
Hello all,
I am running stock rom rooted, version .5.
Due to some FCs happening I want to reinstall the stock rom.
How should I do it?
I don't really remember..
My phone was unbranded when I bought it.
Just running the RUU of the latest stock rom will do the work?
Or do I have to unroot it firstly?
Also, I have created a partition (ext3 - 512MB) at my sd (8GB - Class 6)..and I would like to be able to install apps there...I think it's called A2SD..
How can I do that?
I am taking a backup with TB and will backup contacts and anything else I need.
Should I take a nandroid backup too?
Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?
Thank you for your time!
To use the A2SD+, you need to be rooted.
So you can either run a RUU (unroots your phone - then root it again) or search the Android developement for stock rooted ROMs with A2SD+.
If you choose the 2nd one, just boot into recovery wipe everything and then flash the ROM and then restore everything with Titanium.
Here's a stock rooted one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Nandroid is always good, does not hurts when you have a backup
Thank you for your reply!
To start with, I haven't flashed through recovery any rom yet and haven't wiped data, and thus I am really inexperienced with these.
So I could download this ->"2.29.405.2/5 INIT.D ROM v3.0 | v3.1 - NEW!"? (The version .5) with init.d so that I can install the script of A2SD+ ("A2SD+ (1.4) - v3 compatible", right?
Do I have to flash a radio too?
I think I've read here somewhere that if the radio you're having is working properly then stick with it..If I wipe everything will I still have to install a radio?
So if I download this version what are the steps that I should follow?
1)Backup everything I need with TB and nandroid.
2)Copy the file into the root of sd.
3)Boot into recovery.
4)Wipe everything->wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition?
5)And then which option is to flash the rom? The "install zip from sdcard"?
After this procedure what else do I have to keep in mind?
What about this "Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?" ?
Yes, that's the ROM, and you will be able to use A2SD+ with the init.d ROM.
Radio is not needed. Even if you wipe everything, it remains, because it is on a different partition. So wiping everything is safe, radio remains.
The steps are good, but before flashing ("install zip from SD Card") make sure you toggle verification off (it's in the same menu) - just in case.
Altough I strongly recommend to run through those custom ROMs, you'll not regret it (If you choose a stable one from a well known dev).
Yeah, the virtual android emulator. Wanted to write about it, but forgot it after searching for the ROM I Know it is possible, never tried it.
Here are some links, tough:

I have flashed the one with the init.d..but into Settings > data I can only see as internal memory 120+MB...
TB though shows the free data on the sd extern..
How can I be sure what is correct? :S
Also I tried leedroid and cyanogen mod for a little..but leedroid was partially tranlsated to greek and cyanogen mod does not have sense which I seem to have got used to it..
Also, about the emulation..I was stuck at a part where I have to create a system.img file of the rom...:S
1. try to do the three wipes.. wipe factory settings, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then reboot. perhaps you won't have fc's after that.
2. if you run a stock ruu again - you will lose root and s-on will return. this is the way to unroot essentially. check unlockr for details on that. you can use a universal ruu from htc to do that if you have to. but if you try 1. first, then you won't have to do this. i would suggest NOT unrooting just for a few fc's.
you will solve the problem by installing a different rom. now onto that issue about app2sd...
if you want app2sd.. i would suggest looking into data2sd. i'm on rcmix-hd or rcmix-s-w.1.1 and it's very nice. if you want to use data2sd you can also add this feature. pm me about that. one proviso, your sd-card must be a class-6 or higher to really enjoy data2sd ... i have a class-4 and the speed is not bad. but as the card becomes fragmented, i am sure the speed will suffer.
good luck enjoy your desire.
I have done the 2 wipes except the dalvik cache before installing the rom.
I haven't used a stock RUU.
I have downloaded the v3 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997 with init.d support.
I will stick with app2sd because I read that the sd wears off with all that writing :S
About the roms:
Yesterday I checked Leedroid but the thing that I didn't like was the partial localization..
I am using greek language.
Is there any way to solve that?
Also which other roms are more stable and worth the try?
Additionally, at the thread of the ROM I installed it says "Note that framework-res is already deodexed in this ROM".
This means that I can flash any notification bar icon I want and also the super cicle battery mod?
Thank you for your replies!
Anyone please? :S

With a deodexed rom you can apply global themes, fonts and mods.
With an odexed rom this is not possible, unless the mod is appropriately altered.
Ok
this is my dilemma
Im trying to flash a miui rom
but i cant because it keeps failing everytime i flash the radio and then rom
I really need to know what conditions that need to be met in order to flash this rom
Do i need to revert back to stock firmware?(how and where can i find the sbf or ruu?(new to htc world))
I just really need a step by step guide with the conditions so i can begin to flash the miui rom
because as of right now im on a cynogen rom with 2.2.1 and everytime i go into recovery i wipe, then flash radio, and then reboot and then flash miui rom zip and the i get installation aborted like 2 secs into the flashing

You don't have to flash the radio. Just the rom should work.

Try flashing the RoM without radio, and make sure you have SD Card setup right 2 partition first Full fat32 second 1GB ext4.
Then try radio after ROM is working.

1st: What type of HTC you try to update ? Accordig to this you should find your package.
2nd: Where you Download your files ? Try Re-download full package from official site. I find my radio package in Installation guide, where link to file is given and it is included together with other HTC drivers for Windows.
3rd: Wipe ALL available cache (Dalvik, user, etc.)
Also, for me worked first to install ROM, then Radio, and at last language pack.
If you are first time user like me, I suggest to upgrade to official version 2.3.4a. The only thing that will not work is FM radio and 720p recording. You'll have to wait for another official version. For beta versions there is no guarantee for anything (at the end it is beta, right) ??
If you are also Desire user, I can put here radio file if it is allowed, just for you.

Installation instructions:
Download the version you want from the downloads above. Move to your sd card. If using a cmtd version you will want to make sure the mtd text file is on the root of your sd card. If using a prior cmtd replace the mtd text file or now make sure the file is on the root of your card.
For Standard version do a wipe followed by format boot and system. Then install the zip and reboot. If you don't get the default wallpaper reinstall or use a different one. Sometimes it shows sometimes it doesn't. Apps2sd will enable on boot with dalvik not moved also. It should pick up and start using apps2sd. If you want dalvik moved open terminal at type su enter. Then a2sd cachesd enter. If using adb type adb shell enter. Then a2sd cachesd enter.
For Cmtd with Apps2sd if using cmtd prior. Browse to the Miui-1.6.3-Cmtd-Bravoc folder if that is how you extracted the zip. Install miui remove recovery and reboot recovery proceeding with these regular instructions. Browse to the above folder or where ever you put the files. Install miui recovery and reboot recovery. It is a good idea to wipe and format boot/system. Though should be done with the install of the recovery zip. Your choice to do it or not. Then install Miui-1.6.3-Bravoc.zip when install is done reboot system. You should be good to go with nothing else to do.Apps2sd will enable on boot with dalvik not moved also. It should pick up and start using apps2sd. If you want dalvik moved open terminal at type su enter. Then a2sd cachesd enter. If using adb type adb shell enter. Then a2sd cachesd enter.

Hello, i'm using htc desire with stock rom, 2.3 android os, And i started to think about newer android version on my htc desire. Which one is better for my phone, ice cream sandwich or jelly bean? Ofc i know that jelly bean is newer than ICS but maybe it is bugged or smth. And is there any bugs on ICS for desire? Is it the right choice to make my desire of newer android version?
Thanks for answers.
Right now, Jelly Bean is more developed than ICS.

To install jellybean first find a ROM that you like in the dev forum. The ROM in my sig is nice.
Download the ROM and put it on your SD
Boot into recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, and factory reset/data
Then choose zip from SD and pick the ROM you downloaded

Now it seems much easier of your explain, thanks. But first i need to root it and i think that i need use revolutionary and still try to understand how. U know, for me, newbie, when its written pretty hard its confusing to make something bad and to break my phone.
And is this rom the right choice? -->>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441
yes, you need to root your phone and install a recovery first. Revolutionary also gives you s-off which is good
Basically this is what you have to do:
-install drivers for your pc
-connect your phone and run revolutionary
-revolutionary will s-off your phone and install i custom recovery (i think cwm)
-download and copy the root.zip file onto your sd card
-boot your phone into recovery and flash the root.zip
-after all of that your phone will be s-off, rooted, and have a custom recovery
For all the downloads and more info look here:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Once that is done successfully you can then flash a rom.
The rom you linked is good, but after trying all of vijendrahs jellybean roms i found this one to be the best:

All the rooting/s-off/recovery stuff went well? Just wondering, did revolutionary install clockwordmod?
As for your gapps question, it doesnt matter.
The only difference is that if you choose a rom without gapps included, you will have to flash them seperately...not really that big of an issue though.
Heres how to install this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070704):
-download the rom and gapps package from the thread and put them on your sd card
-reboot into recovery
-make a backup
-click wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advanced>wipe dalvik
-choose zip from sdcard
-choose the rom zip and flash it
-choose zip from sdcard again
-choose the gapps zip and flash it
All rooting/s-off and etc went well, now after all wipes im installing the rom and im little bit praying too

if this root and ginger bread and has set you want CM10.1 making corresponding step. but it and done the ROM manager but it stays flashing flashes 100% and does not advance d there ...
You should install CM10.1 through CWM, so basically you need to ROOT your phone first.
Please be careful. I have a rooted nitro and was on CM10.1 with Wind Kernel with a lot of apps installed. I had several nandroid backups made with CWM latest version.
Since wind over clocks, my nitro got so unstable (bootloop) that I had to go back to the backup.
However, CWM was not able to restore the backup image.
All of the backups did not work.
