hey guys, i just rooted my 2.2 desire this evening using unrevoked.
Now i would like to flash some custom rom. From what i read:

1) Use rom manager to create ext3 partition on sd card. (ext2 or ext3 better?)
2) Copy the rom zip file to sd (no need to rename zip to anything rite?)
3) I boot into bootloader and enter clockworkmod recovery.
4) Perform nandroid backup. (the clockworkmod folder in sd card can be used to flash back my current rom? is the process just like how we flash custom rom?)
5) Wipe the system data and factory reset.
6) Selech flash zip file from sd and select the rom zip file and flash and things should be good after that....

So are the steps above correct? Do i miss out anyhthing?

hi guys, i have flashed AuraX rom 7.8.1 last nite.
Before i flash, i actually used rom manager to create ext partition(can't select ext2 or ext3?).

After flash i installed quick info and it indeed shows 512mb of space under Apps2SD. But how do i know Apps2SD is working? AuraX has Apps2SD+ rite? Coz when i install apps, my internal memory is decreasing tremendously, like on stock rom. Now left 80mb+ after around 6 apps installed...

Did i missed anything?

Edit: Oh forgot to mention, the apps are restored from titanium backup 1...

Something is wrong with ur a2sd+. 6 apps cant be decreasing internal memory to 80MB. AuraX has a2sd+ and titanium will push everything to sd if nothing is wrong with ur ext2/3.

I suggest u search XDA with strings below:
"a2sd check" & u can easily find & learn adb commands on how to check, reactivate a2sd+ for apps & dalvik
*
hm... XDA doesn't allow searching atm...
But i discover that if i restart, the space will be restored back. Could be it a bug in quick info? I am using the quick info pro...
Everytime i install new app, space will be tremendously reduced. But if i reboot, quick info will show majority space restored, just reduce 1 or 2 mb....

yes, 1GB is the max as u will be running out of internal memory before u can even fill up the 1GB ext3

How to flash MIUI? isit oso just put the rom zip file into sd then install from sd? Coz i read the official tutorial from MIUI, they said what downgrade Hboot to 0.83, then have to flash from 2.1 rom blah blah... sounds complicated.

Download MIUI ROM and the English pack from HERE

1) Flash the ROM first with full wipe as this is ur first MIUI flash
2) Reboot to MIUI which will be in chinese
3) Flash again the English pack

If you are coming from Sense or Vanilla ROMs, i guarantee MIUI will be a "refreshing" encounter!

Means if I am already on custom Rom, I just the Rom zip file rite? No need go through downgrade of hboot? coz mine on 0.93. And I am on stock 2.2 ota radio, need to flash different radio?
Hehe ask a lot of question.

No problem. yupe, definitely iphonish, even some icons are similar as iphone. even folder widgets r iphone feature.
anyway i really don't mind they port all good features from everywhere.
so far, I am using the original MIUI keyboard as i need chinese support which seems fine to me.

EpsilonStar, do you find it hard to answer calls by swiping downwards?
It's really quite hard to swipe down. Always need to swipe a few times to answer a call.
Sense also swipe down but definitely easier to swipe.

Er i just flashed it last nite so still have not really received any call...
1 thing i dun really like is they put all the apps on screen. And miss many HTC Sense features and apps and widget...

i'm staying with SuperVillain. cant wait for nathan to update it.

but i downloaded MIUI though..not going to flash it cuz i always think about the iphonish look..i cant stand it.
*
Yeah iphonish, but it looks nice. It makes the screen looks more vibrant and colorful. Now i understand why those screen on mac(ipad, macbook) looks so pleasing and sharp compare to others. Probably 40% is due to the design and color used in their UI...
