Immersed in Information (and drowning!)

Hello All,
First off, I want to thank everyone whos cooked and added information on these forums.
Also I want to state beforehand that for the past 3 days I have gone through countless pages of threads to try and learn as much as I can on ROMs & the such.... its a lot of info! Thats not so much the problem, as I have a pretty good idea now on how to do it (though haven't decided on a custom ROM yet), but the problem is some of it so scattered you can easily have 20 tabs open and either get confused or something.
I have been unable to find (and if there is forgive me for not searching well enough), a thread, topic, or FAQ which would state where you can get programs (ie. Windows Live/Messenger, Internet Sharing, etc) that some ROMs remove. Thats really what has held me back so far from flashing a new ROM, as I really like some of these, but they might be missing certain things I would need (like messenger, or even maybe 5 fav?) but I can't find exact information on all of this.
Edit: I understand if I want to find a program I can just Google it. But what if I don't know theres this awesome program I have never tried or heard before? Can't google a program I don't know! That's why I ask if there is a thread, site that would list them all, or a good amount. I know there couple threads here and there that display default HTC ones, and maybe some odd others.
If anyone can please help me out, or direct me where I can find more info on this I would be really grateful! I might have future questions from then on but i'll definitely be searching to keep the asking to a minimum.
One other question I do have right now is the Radio version. I know theres a thread on a current version, but I see some ppl already have a version higher than that.. is there a place where you can find the current version always, and also, when u flash ROM, does that update your Radio too.. or is it seperate?
Thank you in advance all who help!
I really do hope to be part of this community.

Well I took the dive (woot!) and HARDSPL my phone succesfully. Just finished flashing the default OEM rom and upgrading to the newest radio as well without any problems thanks to all the info you guys provided.
I can't wait to get home (where I have really bad reception) and see if this truely helped me. Im in the mood now to play with all your ROMs as well (I feel like a kid at christmas).
Update: Flashed Open 7.7 and loving it. just need to get used to this brave new world..
Status:
Play and get used to this!
My only concern, and one i cannot find so far is.. at the moment i have no MyFav program.. if i call my currents fav i had will T-Mobile still know, or do i have to have the myfav program installed on my phone so i don't get my minutes charged for calling them?
New concern is i keep getting a text from "4670" saying WCI 1.1 111 every so often, is that normal when you get this program?
Another question: When I install programs, must they always be installed ON the Device, or can I install them on the Storage Card? If i do will they work fine? (or some u can, some u can't.. and some examples)?
Sorry for all the questions!

I install all my programs to storage card. haven't had any problems there. I deleted myfavs because t-mobile stores your favs on their system, so when you call a fav their system should recognize the number. the myfavs program uses memory is why I deleted it.
the text you are getting I don't know what to tell you on that.
sounds like you have the rest down pretty good

????
How did you delete the my fav program? any assistance would be helpful

So many questions

Im sorry but this may be a long post and I dont even know if it goes here..
I had a wing about 1 year ago and i sold it because i had no idea that this web site even here and i had no idea how to use it. I mainly got rid of it because it was really slow and the touch screen you had to use that stylus. Now that I found this website I want to get the wing again. I have been reading and reading for like the past week and i read the guides and for some reason I still dont understand how to flash new roms and everything. so im wondering if someone would be willing to help me step by step over aim or something when i get my wing sometime with in the next week.
also i see a lot of people are having problems with the wing with applications not working and sms and mms and all other things not working and all that.. is that something that happens when you flash a new rom or what is the cause?
also is there a facebook or myspace application i can put on my wing? i am addicted to facebook and myspace..
also if a new rom is flashed would i still be able to download applications from other websites like handago and they will still work with the rom?
I think thats all the questions that i have.. if i have more i will post something else. Thanks in advance for the responses that i may get! everything is appreciated.

SMS Problem and WinMo...

Hi Guys,
I'm having a problems since a couple of weeks with my beautiful HD2.
Im running it with German "Mein Base+Allnet 50+Internet Flat" and it wont send the SMS's im trying to send allday. Well it says they're sended and I get an answere, that the other one has the SMS, but in real the other doesn't have it...
Is there a way to fix that? I'm running 1.72 so the SMS Hotfix is already installed~
Another interessting Question is: Is it possible to flash the HD2 and install an Android OS on it? I mean the HW is good enough for it, it's just another Software.
Thanks for the quick Support <3

just to let you no the developers are getting v tired of people asking about android they are currently working on it and it will happen one day if you search it you will find the answer,as for your sms hard reset if still not check message centre numbers

1.SMS Servicenumber checked - Right one
2.SMS Mode on GSM now
3.Testing tomorrow

[Q] to Wiki

I know I'm supposed to search the forum first and well, I did but I couldn't find anything which was near what I want to ask.
So, I got a HTC Touch HD from my father (he's old one) and because I don't like windows that much and because I'm using linux on my laptop anyway I wanted to put on Android and well... it worked without any problems (Android 2.2 (FroYo)). Now I wanted to look some stuff up... like how to connect my HTC to my Laptop or how to turn it off... very basic stuff and when I wanted to look it up in the wiki it was kinda strange because it was telling me about the camera and stuff and on the description of FroYo it already says that camera doesn't work and well... it doesn't but that's not the point here.
So my actual question is: Is the forum for FroYo or is it for Windows?
Sorry for making such a large question . Thanks in advance
P.S. forgot to post which link I mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Blackstone.png

[Q] KinOne mp3 question

Hey guys, I'm a relatively new member to this site and joined recently when I began looking into rooting my Droid Eris. However my girlfriend and myself have been trying to figure out her KinOne and if it's possible to use mp3 files as ringtones or not. I haven't been able to find anything online and I am not too familiar with the phone myself. And is it possible to do anything with the phone without using Zune? I could not find the drivers for the phone online. Any help would be appreciated.

No you can not use mp3's on the phone as ringtones. You can however send ringtones to your phone via e-mail/text message. You NEED the zune software to access any multimedia on the device. You do not need any drivers as they are installed when you install the Zune software. Hope I helped.

Thanks for the reply, that helps quite a bit. I'm still trying to figure out the phone, but to be honest, I'm not a big fan of it. But I guess that would be why it is her's and not mine. Thanks again, though.
