After rooting the phone, now to install a custom ROM. There were many reviews on various ROM and so far, I have tried MIUI (did not bother testing others... MIUI did not give me a reason to leave, anyway :p)
Before you do anything "real" in wiping your current phone clean, it is always good to do backups. After all due diligence (backup contacts, pictures, music, SMSes, and whatever sort of data that is deemed important), you also may want to do a NAND backup of your stock ROM as well, in case you decided to revert back. To do this, I think the steps provided at http://theunlockr.com/2010/02/06/how-to-backup-and-restore-your-android-phone/ is quite complete.
So, to do the custom ROM installation:
1. First, download the ROM from http://miuiandroid.com and take a look at the list of supported device (for me, I download the ROM for HTC Desire).
2. Then, copy the the zip file of the ROM to the SD Card
3. Boot the phone into Recovery.
4. Wipe the data clean (both the user data (factory reset) as well as cache)
5. Install the "update" from SD Card.
Done!
* Sorry not able to put sample pictures here as this is a quick update.
