We’ve previously written about how to root your Android phone. One of the reasons that some people root their phones is so that they can install a custom ROM.

A custom ROM is a customized image that alters the function of your device. You can find custom ROMs online – or you can cook up your own ROM with an online tool if you have a Samsung Captivate or Galaxy S.
