Newbies guide to Roming?

[slugger09]

This kind of baffles me, I romed my Desire S without any issues but it didn't involve changing kernals etc and its that that baffles me, it seems to be use this kernal with this rom etc and its confusing.

I want a ROM where I don't have to change the kernal and one that actually works, I have seen so many comments like "Ah its great" even though the camera doesn't work, the bluetooth doesn't work, the FM radio doesn't work, you get the idea.

Any suggestions?

Imo they're not worth it just for some alternative menu colors and icons. Almost all ROMs are nasty backyard operations thus you're at the mercy of the developer's ability to comprehend and prevent possible bugs and things not working/phone freezing completely/losing data.
Not much to gain apart from some alleged battery life, unfortunately the ROM scene has little in common with Formula 1.

The 3 big ROMs are Villain, Litening and Cyanogen, If I was going to change ROMs I'd trust Villain and Cyan before Litening, there are bad rumblings about it including faked benchmarks etc.

Well I want the menu color changed, When I get say a new alert from MSNBC, the writings black and the menus black so you can't see anything
