Go to the Google Play(market) and download ROM Manager. Open the app and at the top select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" let that run then when finished go Backup & Restore and select "Backup Current Rom"

Ok. I did that, I noticed it was checking for an sd card, but mine wasn't installed. Does that make a difference?
My apologies to fuzzy13. I was not unpacking the zip files. I am such a noob.lol

The choice is yours to flash something not based off of ZVD however there may be problems. Every phone is different.

Being that he was running all the files I figured he did. I mean who doesn't extract the zip folder? LOL
Lesson learned.
Now that my phone is rooted, I was wondering if someone could help sort out what I should do next. I want to get rid of bloatware and make my phone run smoother and faster. I know nothing about roms, kernels or flashing or just about anything else. Just not sure what roms or kernels are best for my phone. I have a rooted esteem with a stock ZVD.

Well being that there isn't much for zvd right now i would say your choice is easy.
