There are several ROMs to try and it is all personal perference.
Look for some discussion here: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/339974-other-than-cm7-any-other-good-roms.html

If you like to keep HTC Sense UI, a starting ROM is LeeDroid.

 

Just make sure you read post 5

 

How did you get on Trito?

 

This ^^

 

You press power to select recovery from the HBOOT screen (white). Once you are in recovery (black, green text) you use the trackpad to select, same as when Android is running.

Pressing power when in recovery just turns the screen off.

Don't worry, you aren't the first, and won't be the last

 

Which is why the rooting faq states to use the trackball. I put a lot of effort into writing that. Does anyone actually read it?!

 

I did.
If someone doesn't read, then it is their loss...

 

Awww. Thanks babe.

 

Too many lazy impatient people around You guide is the best around. Clear and concise.
