[Q] How to change ROMs

have found several pages with info but none for the HTC slide. So I don't know if it is recommended to follow any of those.
I installed the CM 6 on my slide and I don't really like it. I found another ROM that I would like to try but have NO CLUE how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction; either via a website or a step by step guide here?
Thanks a million

download ROM to your computer and put it on your SD card without unzipping it. go to market and download ROM Manager > open app > select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and tap myTouch Slide > select "Reboot into Recovery". phone will power down and boot itself in to recovery. select wipe data/factory reset > under "advanced" select "wipe Dalvik Cache" > go back to main menu > select "install zip from sdcard" > select "choose zip from sdcard" > scroll through list till you find your ROM and select it > after it is done installing go back to main menu and select "reboot system now" > enjoy new ROM
edit 1 : when in recovery use volume button to scroll up and down, trackpad is enter and back arrow is back.
edit 2 : you can also flash Overclock Kernels the same way... just skip ALL of the wipes

You are one in a million!!
Doing this now ... will report once done
Edit - what do you mean by Overclock kernels?

CM 6 does not have market ....=/ how do I get the app now?!?!

Here is link to post to get latest Gapps (for market) you will have to get into recovery the way you did to flash CM6)
As far overclock click link in my sig for more info
edit : the GApps link will auto download when you click it

A couple notes on switching between ROMs:
1: when going from one ROM to another, very few allow you to simply install on top of an existing ROM, thus requiring you to wipe the phone from recovery
2: When you do a wipe, you will also need to remember to install the Google Applications ("gapps"). Link for gapps is in the post above me.

Thank you fermunky and raven!! =D I'll look into that in a second.
OK so I booted into recovery and selected "wipe data/factory reset " but the screen has been black for about 5 min now =/ is that normal?
Edit - I went the "brave path" and simply lightly pushed the power button and the screen came up. OK, so I am continuing the process =)
Edit 2 - does the update.zip need to be applied at all?

ROM manager recovery
I have gotten through to trying to reboot in recovery mode through the rom manager. However, when I press the choice to reboot in recovery through the program, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

nope don't need update.zip if you have ROM Manager. what did you press when selecting? power or the track pad? just asking because the track pad is enter/select, power turns off screen.

Good to know I didn't need to do the update.zip =)
I think I might have have used the power as I had done so through the root process but when I touched the power key again the screen came back up instantly and used the track pad from there on.
Raven I OWE you big time!!!!! You have been EXTREMELY helpful. The instructions you gave me were to a T and easy to follow. I found that the Rom Manager was already loaded on the CM 6.
I think this is a great easy to follow post for other noobs and or anyone wanting to change roms with no previous experience!
I just broke down your initial post line by line as it was easier to my eyes/brain lol
1. download ROM to your computer and put it on your SD card without unzipping it.
2. go to market and download ROM Manager
3. open app
4. select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and tap myTouch Slide
5. select "Reboot into Recovery".
Phone will power down and boot itself in to recovery.
(when in recovery use volume button to scroll up and down, trackpad is enter and back arrow is back.)
6. select wipe data/factory reset
7. under "advanced" select "wipe Dalvik Cache"
8. go back to main menu
9. select "install zip from sdcard"
10. select "choose zip from sdcard"
11. scroll through list till you find your ROM and select it
12. after it is done installing go back to main menu and select "reboot system now"
Enjoy new ROM
Edit - BTW I replaced the CM 6 with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784241

I'll ask the same thing Raven asked me; did you use the track pad to do the selection or did you use the power key?
If you used the power then I think that could be it. Try the track pad as it is what worked for me

did you tap "flash ClockworMod Recovery" before trying to reboot into recovery? if not tap that and tap "myTouch Slide" when it pops up and then tap "reboot into recovery"
edit : this might be a dumb question... you are rooted right?

What types of ROM works for the Mytouch Slide? (Ex: would a ROM meant for the G1 work? Any examples of multi-phone capable ROMs?)

The only ROMs that will work are the ones in the "Development" section for the myTouch Slide, ROMs for any other phone will crash your phone.

Poop. I didn't think so... thanks.

How to Install a Custom ROM on Galaxy Grand:
The procedure of installing a custom ROM using ClockworkMod Recovery is almost the same for all Android phones. You just have to follow a few steps and it is done!
All custom ROMs come in zip and have md5 checksum signature that tells your device that it was downloaded successfully and does not miss anything. So download the ROM file in zip and copy it to you phone, preferably to the external SD card.
If you have downloaded an AOSP or CyanogenMod based custom ROM, you’ll also have to install the Google apps after flashing the ROM. Download the latest Google Apps zip package to install via CWM here. Copy this file to your phone too.
Now boot your phone into recovery mode. Here is the method: press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time till the Samsung logo with device name blinks for 2 times. Then release the Power key while keeping other keys pressed till you see the recovery menu with “ClockwrokMod Recovery” written on the top. In Recovery mode, use the volume keys to scroll and the power key to select options.
Important: Go to “backup and restore” option and backup your current ROM to the external SD card.
When backup is complete, go back to main menu and “wipe data/factory reset”.
Then go to “advanced” and “wipe dalvik cache”.
Go back and select “mounts and storage” and “format system”.
Return to main menu and select “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard”, navigate to the ROM zip file and select it.
When the ROM is installed, also install the Google apps zip package, if applicable, using Step 8.
Finally, return to main menu and select “reboot system now”.
