There is a good range of roms available, all available from Desire Android Development - xda-developers but you'll notice most of them are many pages long.
Have a look at the original post on them to see if any take your fancy....
Personally im using leedroid 2.2f & its rock solid, but to be fair i haven't tried any others yet so cant have an opinion on those.
Thanks again.
I've heard a lot about this leedroid 2.2f ROM, and it does seem to be up my street.
I'm not after anything too fancy to begin with. I'd be more than happy with a good, solid ROM, similar to the stock ROM with HTC Sense etc, just with the ability to save apps to my SD card (I've got a 16GB SD card I don't seem to be able to do much with in terms of apps!) and to be able to get rid of some of the T-Mobile bloatware to free up some internal memory.
Cutting a long story short, the main reason for me rooting is because I was sick of having to manage the internal storage space and having bloatware take up valuable space!
Are you holding the volume down rocker and holding power button when your phone is off?
Yes, that is the right thing.
yep, just make sure you backup all media on your sd card first cuz it'll wipe your SD card.
I would just backup everything on the SD card to be safe. What ROM are you going with?
Have you downloaded ROM Manager from the market? That's the tool for root users that makes creating a partition and flashing a ROM much easier. You can also do nandroid backups using it too
Ed - I think I'm up to date now. I've just backed up my current ROM via ROM Manager and I have an "update" file on my SD card - is that right?
I'm now copying the contents of my SD card to my laptop.
I'm sure this will all be worth it in the end!
