Dunno about roms for it.  Just look around xda-devs, read through which bugs are reported for each one, which is updated the most frequently, which thread has the most posts, etc, and make a choice.  Once you have a recovery rom installed it only takes a minute to install a different rom so you're free to try them out.

The boot time is fucking nuts.

That's for the European's "G2" with HTC's Sense skin.  America's G2 will be bare-bones Android, so should be even faster.  With a custom Gingerbread rom and clocked to 1ghz...

And people bitched that it was "only" 800mhz, failing to realize that it's also the newer generation, faster, more efficient Snapdragon...

This is one of the best guides:

You may want to check on XDA devs if there's a newer version of the amon ra recovery image.

Similar to a jailbreak, I guess.  Of course with Android you can install any Android application you want, even from outside the market, but it still does give unlimited freedom.  Let's you flash new roms, add bits and pieces from other builds (different widgets, virtual keyboards, etc), can do easy tethering, anything.

Downsides
- It's trial
- You have to install an app on the PC
- Last time I used it it would randomly drop connection
- Requires an installation

I used it and it does the job.  It's handy if you're in a bind and definitely a lot less trouble than rooting...but overall the "built-in" feature of a rooted/custom rom phone is a helluva lot easier to use.  If you aren't going to use it often or don't feel comfortable rooting/flashing, then it's just what you need.

Is it really in the marketplace?  Last time I used it, it wasn't, and I had to download from PDANet's site, copy to the phone through USB, then install...  Marketplaces are different for each carrier, so maybe some don't have it removed.

I i have verizon, but my marketplace isnt the verizon specific, (not sure what it is really) but i know i got it from there.
it was a long time ago tho, just after 2.1 was coming out in leaked roms for everything except for the eris, which at that time still didn't have root.
i only had to install a driver(i think) and i thought after the trail you just cant use secured websites(banks and shit), maybe not. i didnt use it alot. i use my wi-fi tether now alot, and its waaay nicer for sure

Wifi teather works fine, but not for long periods of time for me for some reason. It drops the connection and I have to restart the app and connection for it to work

They only see that you're using data, and even if they could see more they won't bother you...  It's fine.

yep, mine is that way too, except for the restarts,i think thats happened once or twice. the text thing pisses me off. maybe its bc i dont delete old texts and let them accumulate. tho i have it set NOT to delete them

I use a program called wireless tether with 0 issues. For g2 roms I reccomend simply stunning, bugless beast, cyanogen mod in that order. All running the chevyno1 ulv 1.2ghz kernel and controlled via setcpu.

I has this:



http://www.htc.com/us/products/t-mobile-g2#tech-specs

Not this:



Newest gen Snapdragon.  Only clocked at 800mhz, yet still outperforms the older 1ghz Snapdragons.

No custom roms or root yet, but I expect one within the next week.  Isn't officially for sale until October 6, I just happened to get mine really early since it was shipped from Kentucky.

Coming from a G1, it's amazing.  CM6 helped speed the G1 up a bit, but this thing never lags and everything is smooth.

Wireless Tether is awesome and easy to use.  Only downfall is you need root.

Yes.
