Since you're rooted, lets play with ROM. Confused...
ROM is nothing but one of many modified versions of Android.
So, Lets start ROMing...;->
ROM :- What it is???
As I've told you earlier, Android is very open platform. You may wonder why? Because you can change your phone stock OS too. Bingo!! Got you shocked. Yeah! You can change it and that's why ROMs are there.
So, If you're unhappy with your stock OS, you can install one of the many modified versions of Android or ROMs.
The only problem you will feel is 'to find your needle in hay'. What I mean is that since there are so many developers and different Android devices out there that the navigation of the proper custom ROM can be very difficult for you.
Don't worry people, i am always there to help you. Let's first start with the types of ROM
3 Most Popular Types of ROM
1) Future Versions of Android
Unless you have Google smart phone or Nexus series, it usually takes a while for your phone's manufacturer to prepare the latest and greatest version of Android for your device. At the time of this writing, for example, Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" (the most up-to-date, stable Android OS) is available and has been open sourced, but most manufacturers haven't released updates for their devices yet. Luckily, since the source code became available, pretty much ROMs out there are now. Thus, if you want the newest stock version of Android as soon as it comes out, these are the ROMs to go with.
2) ROMs With New Features
Many ROMs seek to add more features to your phone that aren't available in the stock OS. Usually these are things like extra settings or little conveniences like making the "sound off" lock screen slide put your phone on vibrate instead, or letting you skip music tracks with the volume buttons. While feature-adding ROMs are still built for speed and stability, they may not be quite as fast or as stable as those in the third category (though they're often still be better than the stock ROM). In most cases, the most popular ROM in this category is CyanogenMod, although devices without CyanogenMod ports have similar ROMs that achieve the same goals (such as the Fresh ROM, available for the Evo).
3) ROMs That Focus Only on Speed and Stability
Some ROMs, such as OpenDesire on the Desire, Baked Snack on the Evo, or Bugless Beast on the Droid, are less focused on tweaking the OS for features and more focused on bringing as much speed, stability, and battery life to your phone as possible. Thus, if you have rooted mainly for this reason (or because you wanted to add larger, app-based features such as wireless tethering), then this type of ROM is the one for you. They may sometimes lag a bit behind in terms of adding the newest features, but they're usually the fastest and most stable around.
Note that all ROMs will probably say that they focus on speed and stability, but this particular group focuses only on these things, and will usually say that they contain no extra tweaks as a result, so look for that as opposed to the words "built for speed and stability".
We will see how to find and install ROMs in the next post.
Till then,
Keep Lovind Android and Stay Tuned...
