Installing a ROM...?

[LaizureBoy]

Hey guys, I know I'm new, I mean, like ONE DAY new, but I've been posting around, and trying to help people out.
So, my question is, how in the H*ll do you install a custom ROM?

I've been seeing things ALL OVER the place about "Oh this ROM is Soooooooo coooolll!" but I have yet to find a decent tutorial on how to install one.
Do I just flash it on? And, if so, should I even get a custom ROM if I have no Nandroid backup?

Also, what's the average size of a ROM, and in your opinion, what would be the best ROM for this phone?

Follow the directions there after you read and do the stickies in the top threads of that forum.

so to add a bit more to this you should go in and read the everything about the Glide.
read that will pretty much walk you through the rooting of your glide and backing up of your special esf folder and the backing up at your ROM.
then you're going to update your rom to the latest version that's available which is 4.0 4 and then you're going to follow that thread that I linked
that will get you to the light ROM and the light kernel.

Thanks.
I'm already update to 4.04, so hopefully it'll be easier.
