Can someone please explain what the difference is between themes, roms, mm, flashes. Might be simple but everytime i do something knew I have no problems. I was on cyan .7 but now nextheme e1sb2r r2 (or something)! love new things just not sure if I might be missing out on something that one might offer over another.:thinking:
 
Themes and MM's (Metamorph's) are basically the same thing, they both change the graphics and overall look of your OS. A regular theme is applied in a .zip format and a MM theme is applied using a free app in the market called Metamorph. A ROM is a custom build of Android, sometimes it includes different apps and features and it is usually optimized and de odex'd to help run faster and smoother. A ROM can also contain new kernels which can enable overclocking the processor and wifi tethering. Flashing is the process of installing ROM's, themes, and kernels.
