I have been searching for roms for my phone for awhile now. I have found Aurore's, Muiu rom, and I think there was one more maybe. Do yall know of anymore that have the Theme Chooser included in it? I havent flashed any of the roms I have found because Im not %100 sure how to. I have CWM recovery on my phone v5. Right now im trying to flash Aurores Touch recovery through fast boot on my comp and its not wanting to work right. I know I can do it because I have done it before lol but for some reason its just not working now. It could be because im losing my train of thought because when I did it before my kids were not home lol and right now they are. (Boys-9,7,&3) And I am not on the same comp as before since my son poured juice all on my laptop. So I dont have any of the previous commands I used saved anymore. Anyways... Im still really new to all this. I need some help please. Oh also my phone has root already. I used a super one click method and it actually worked. My bootloader is unlocked.

First off...

What am I doing wrong...
My phone is connect through the usb cable to the comp and I have tried it with and without usb debugging on.

I put the recovery.img in to a folder on drive C:\ named Android
I have opened the CMD window from the start menu & from the folder by shift & right clicking Open command window here.

Im typing in this...
C:\ANDROID fastboot flash recovery
& trying it this way
C:\ANDROID adb reboot bootloader
Is this wrong? I cant remember. After I type in that in its coming up saying ['C:\ANDROID' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file]

^Could it have anything to do with my comp being almost out of memory? I have TONS of movies & t.v shows DL'd and no external hard drive to back them up on and I dont want to delete any til I get one.

Can yall please tell me what im missing lol. Its probably something so simple that I will end up feeling dumb and say duuuhhhh. lol

I want to try to flash Aurore's rom. I dont know how to do this. It says flash the boot.img file in fastboot first. Then flash rom through recovery. Which one is the rom file? I thought it would be the boot.img file. Im just a little confused. So if could someone please walk me through this?

-3-
Are there any other roms yall know about? I have googled and googled and not found that many. I want to be able to customize my phone and stop using things like next, holo, and go launcher, go sms, go contacts. I want to be able to theme the whole phone and stop having all excess crap on my phone because its slowing it down and lagging. And I want my brother to stop downing my phone lol. He could do all this for me or teach me how but hes decided to go on a power trip and make me learn it all by myself like I did to him when we were teens and I started doing graphic and web design. I told him it was for girls only. So now like almost 15 years later he tells me this kind of stuff is for MEN ONLY.

Im on a mission to prove him wrong ;) Anyways. I know this is alot of questions and I will be grateful for any and all help!
