[Q] Firmware/ROM options?

---

So I just bought a Galaxy S 4G believing that it had CM7 support, because the supported devices page said "Galaxy S". Whoops.

So in the meantime, I gather that I can root it and use Titanium Backup Pro to strip out some of the bloat; are there any alternative firmwares or ROMs worth trying while I wait?

If the answer is yes, I've had trouble finding instructions on how to store a copy of the stock firmware for restoration, in case I screw up or need to return the phone or something.

Thanks.

You still have a heck of a phone... I'm running Black Ice, works well for me, I also have been test driving dsexton's "I can't believe it's not butter" rom and yes, it is as smooth as the name implies! I'm just not a fan of the stock theme. And it's very well tweaked... There's months of reading treads all consolidated in one single flash!
You can find it in the development section along with the specs

As QUIETLYloud mentioned, there is a great implementation of MANY tweaks in a ROM he referred to.

Also, CM7 is in fact coming to GS4G within a week or two.

You all are fantastic and all got Thank Yous.

Something I'm not seeing, even in the Bible thread, and I'm sure it's a FAQ but I still can't find it:

What do I need to do to make absolutely certain (assuming I don't brick it, anyways) that I can get back to the stock ROM/firmware, i.e. so that I can return it if I need to?

Thanks for any pointers to whatever obvious place I missed that you can provide.

Stock is there if ever necessary.
