[Q] Question on using Themes and Apps...

Hello my friends. Well...I have left the Windows Mobile arena and just entered the Google Android portal. I have a HTC incredible (Verizon) with Froyo 2.2 (stock).
I would like to add some themes and apps found here on XDA, but I have no idea how to 'flash' them onto my phone.
Is there a step-by-step guide for a newcomer as me?
Thank you so much.
Regards,
Surflord

There's a lot to do. First you must Root your phone (voiding your warranty) using Unrevoked: http://unrevoked.com/#inc
Then you should read up on how to use the ClockworkMod Recovery to flash ROMs and Kernels.

this is a pretty helpful thread.

Q's and help regarding Optimus Sol and rooting.

I, of course, searched around for the answer to these questions, but didn't find any - here or on the internet.
I spent a long time working on my custom theme/appearance, and have also considered rooting my phone (LG Optimus Sol) in order to be able to customize all aspects of it.
My questions:
1. Theme problem: Like I said, I spent quite a while on my theme, if I root my phone, will my theme and/or widgets be lost?
2. Rooting: I use Gingerbread as OS and would like to know which rooting program is better/safer: Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick?
3. Brick solution: I know the risks of rooting, and I would like to know if there is any chance to un-brick my Sol if the horrible thing happens.
I hope this thread doesn't get ignored. >.<
Have an awesome day.
Thank you in advance for the answers.

[Q] Beginner Help

Hi all,
I have been an iPhone user for a long time and have become frustrated with the methodical cycling of old tech via new OS', so I want to switch over to Android. That beginning said, I want to upgrade my phone to Cyanogenmod 11 (M5 I believe?) but I definitely need some technical help. I am not looking to brick my phone.
I read a few guides on how one goes about upgrading their device but there are still some points I am unsure of. A large area of confusion for me at the moment is this:
-What is the difference between a unlocked bootloader and a rooted device? My understanding is that an unlocked bootloader is more basic, like having access to the "BIOS" in your phone. A rooted device, on the other hand, pertains to the OS, as if one was upgrading between Ubuntu and Windows. I am confused because the article I read states that I can flash a custom ROM in the unlocked bootloader, without rooting. If this is the case, why would anyone want root access?
-Nightly vs. snaphot vs. stable: I understand that these represent levels of stability that increases from nightly to stable. My question is regarding updating. If I install a nightly/snapshot, will I have to flash/wipe/etc every time I want to install an upgrading nightly?
-Lastly, I have had on my eye on this guide for when I upgrade: (REMOVE BRACKETS FROM "COM")
true-android.blogspot.[com]/2013/12/update-verizon-galaxy-nexus-sch-i515-to_17.html
Is that good guide to go by? Does that make any assumptions about upgrading that new user like me would not be aware of?
Thank you for any help.

Thanks for the help boys

[Q] (Noob) How do you root a one m8 (lollipop)?

Hey folks, I have a international european one m8 that runs lollipop. I was wondering if anyone could link me to a recent guide about how to go about rooting it. I know that there's the all in one kit that people used but I went on that thread and it seems unused for some time which gave me doubts about whether it would be recent and work for lollipop. Can someone therefore suggest a more recent guide or tell if the all in one toolkit method still works?
Thanks so much, cheers.
