Anyone know of some good custom ROMs other than cyanogen and liberated aria?
What is a ROM (dumb question here: previous BB user until about three days ago...own an Aria now). If I read correctly, is this explaining how to run a different OS separate from the current one? I'm confused as to what cyanogen and liberated are. Thanks in advance =)

I was under the impression I could buy any phone that I liked hardware-wise and then, if, say, I liked HTC Sense but my phone came with Touchwiz, I could I just load a custom rom with HTC Sense on my phone to get Sense. However, I just read I can't buy a Captivate (I'm on AT&T with their sh*tty Android lineup) and then load a custom Sense rom because apparently nobody has a custom Sense rom to load to it because "it would be incredibly time-consuming and difficult" (quote from some random user on this site). So, now I'm confused about that...
Well since Android is built on an open source platform, in theory your assumptions are well founded. However, the vendors such as HTC, Motorola and Samsung have added their own custom features to the Android platform (aka Sense UI) and most of those features are not 'open source', so it without the working source code for Sense, it would be incredibly difficult and time-consuming to try get it running on a Samsung android kernel.
