Htc Hero Question

[Red-X]

Good evening to all of you android fans

I had a couple of question to ask as i am a new proud gsm htc hero owner

I wanted to know the difference between custom roms e.g. MoDaCo and the original hero rom , what does MoDaCo add more than whats already on the device?

I wish also to know if say i install a custom rom, can i revert back to HTC's original rom or no? and will i be able to update my htc in future to android 2.0 if i have custom rom or that wont be possible

And if anyone has a good guide for rooting and flashing/installing custom rom's it would be a great help.

Finally is it safe to root/install custom roms / revert to original

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your fast reply , i have another question

What is the difference between flashing the device and rooting the device , also which one do you perform first?

What are benefits of flashing?

What does it mean to flash the radio files and which occurs first , installing custom rom or placing a radio file? and how do you place those radio files.

Thanks again
