Everything you need to know about flashing a custom ROM is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
And the parent forum:

Or if you want an "official" ROM instead of a custom, user-made ROM, you can flash the new ATT ROM (leaked, not officially released yet). It contains the HTC Sense 2.5 interface, which is sweet IMO:

Also, you should use more descriptive titles to your threads. So many people use titles like "Question" or "Please help". Its good to have some idea of what the thread is going to be about.
Thanks for the help!
Hi everyone. I'm a long time observer on xda (from win mo) but am very new to android. While I'm familiar with my device and the basics, I'm very unfamiliar with android terminology. For example, I'm eager to try some of the themes I see here but don't know which files to download as they are all labeled for cm6 only, etc. and then I see they need to be "flashed".
Can someone explain the language of the elites pertaining to android please? I'm assuming they are all codes for different roms, etc.
Fyi, I have an evo running froyo, not root or anything. Everything up to date as supplied from htc/sprint
Thanks in advance
cm6 is for this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596
the "zip" files will work with most any ROM as long as you stay with in the OS version. Much like WM 6.1 themes would not work in 6.5. SO Android 2.1 themes will not work Android 2.2 (aka FroYo). Of course some things like Kernels are designed for certain ROMs. Like a kernel for Freshs ROM vs. a general population.

you need to be rooted to apply themes and ROMs. Currently though, there is no way to root if you already have Froyo.
Flashing a new ROM, theme, or anything with the same regards simply means to wipe away what exists and replace it with something new.
So when you are flashing a new ROM, you are taking away the old one (with a data wipe aka factory reset) and then installing the saved zip file (contains the ROM) onto the computer.
Unfortunitly themes can't just be installed like they could on WM they need to be "flashed". These means you need to enter the phones bootloader. If you don't know what all that means then you have some more reading before you can get into themes. Much of which was said in the post above this.
Thanks everyone. And thanks for not flaming me, lol

I've just got an Samsung S7230, it's unlocked but it uses an Orange-branded ROM which is quite limiting (no wi-fi router for example)
Now i've noticed that there are links to some roms for this model posted in a topic, but i'm not really sure what should i choose and i also don't know how to flash it.
If possible, indicate me the leatest original (not necessarely original) ROM for S7230 and eventually a brief how-to install.
Thank you all
I have only S8500... but you could read some Documents about your handset:

Also use of Multiloader is described with Pictures...
