Noob ROM questions..

[kikitt]

Hello, I am thinking about rooting it looks so enticing o do so with all of the different ROMs you can use but there are certain ones I was looking for that I saw and now I can't seem to find out what they were called...I was looking for a ROM with a black notification bar, and the battery bars are in a circle with the percentage in the circle and the other icons there were the same as stock..and I was wondering if there was a ROM that is just like the stock version of FRG22D. If someone could lead me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

You are not describing a ROM as much as you are a theme...a ROM really dictates how the O/S works and performs, and some of the options that might be included, a theme is the appearance of the ROM, most ROM's have multiple theme choices

There is a theme section here accessible via the home page

once your rooted you can find a rom you like then basically change anything to look how you want it to. with themes and metamorph and ninjamorph you can pretty much do whatever you want

Okay thank you for the answers..I will have to see what I can find...one more question, I am going to root using this method http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-guides/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html
If I do this will I still be running FRG22D just rooted or another ROM? Thank you.

Once you root, you will need to load a rom. I would suggest before you start the rooting process go into the various "Custom Rom" sections and read about the different roms and their themes. One thing to remember themes do not work on all roms so you have to pay attention to what themes you want to use and if they are compatible to the rom you are running. Also in each developers section they will have instructions on how to download their rom to your phone. So do a little homework first and get a game plan as to which rom and theme you want then start in.

Remember we are here if you get stuck.
