do ppl install and enable multi roms--like multiboot on pc?

or do they hafto recompile or such to get tweaks like they want?
like ala carte.. pick and choose and recompile

or do they just find what they like best?
im assuming that a rom completely wipes out and starts phone fresh?

thanx

Answer is probably very simple: no

Don't ask me technical details, but that's just the way it is. Android, due to it's nature, can be run on an existing ROM (making it a sort of multiboot...)

Dual boot is not possible with our devices as of yet. I am not even sure if this is doable at all. People who are technical and capable cook their own ROM and use it. Others just find what they like the best and use it. And yes, you are correct that flashing a new ROM completely wipes out the device; however, some files could be left behind from old installation so one of the steps in flashing recommends hard-resetting your device to completely clean the memory.

so android is for kaiser only and i assume that this means Not Tilt?
that android page has 386 posts to wade thru...
the terms kaiser and tilt are not completely interchangeable?
thanx

The Kaiser and Tilt terms are quite interchangable. There are some differences, but Kaiser is the general HTC codename for the device, and Tilt is just a branded version of the Kaiser (with some naunces; a subversion you might say).

Andriod can be used on a Tilt.
