What is the difference between a Gingerbread 2.3 ROM and say a CM7 ROM? So i have to install Gingerbread first, and then CM7 if i'm on 2.2 currently?

If i install Sense 3.0, is that a ROM?

Not sure how that works.
 
I have a HTC Incredible running 2.2, and i understand you need to Root first before anything else, got that, but now I am confused about the ROM thing.

I would like to Root to uninstall the default HTC apps that keep causing my 'Low Memory Errors'.

If i install Gingerbread, is that a ROM like CM7 is?

Confused as to what exactly to do after a root, can i install Gingerbread without rooting?

If i want to install HTC sense, is that a ROM??

Thanks for the clarification here, i've searched numerous forums, but can't seem to find specific answers.
 
1. Go to root section and read the all about root sticky.

2. Gingerbread is android 2.3 os

3. ROM is the ui you download. Cm7 is a ggingerbread rom because it runs 2.3

4. Sense is a ui but there are differnet sense roms. Cm7 is an asop rom

Read the sticky more will make.sense
 
And FWIW - I would recommend AGAINST installing CM7 Condemned (or any CM7 ROM) on your Incredible unless you really don't care to use ALL the features of your camera anymore. I'm trying a Sense 3.0 ROM instead.

I never had a problem with cm7. Doesn't have 720 video but I rarely used it before.

I like miui.us because it can be as easy or as complicated as you want but theming is so simple
