new to this and need help

I have the HTC thunderbolt and it is running gingerbread. I have multiple roms on my SD card but i can't remember how to change to a different one. Can anyone help me?

You must start recovery.
Reboot the Phone, start the recovery. Install zip file, and that´s it.

Sorry, i forget to tell you how to get into the recovery:
1. reboot
2. after the lights go down push the up or down button for long.
(at my device Desire HD it´s the down buttton)
3. now you are in the recovery. choose "install zip from sdcard"
4.take the rom you want.
5. press yes and you get the new rom

and remember to do a full wipe before installing

not exactly a full wipe. just data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache (dont wipe sd card or else you will have nothing to flash; the only reason why the sd card would be wiped/formatted is if you are partitioning it)

[Q] Unresponsive Device - Need some help!

Hello,
im pretty new to rooting and custom roms but managed to root my Pico without a problem yesterday.
After that i installed this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375229
Using Philz Touch recovery v5.15.0
class 4 8gb sd-card
The steps i took:
Partitioned the card ext3 1gb swap 0
Wipe/factory reset
Flashed the rom
After 10 min at the HTC bootscreen the phone started but was very slow/unresponsive and had all kinda services/apps say "Process.xxx.xxx does not respond" pressing wait i got thru the setup but these problems continue with every app. Internet via mobile/wifi and even internet-pass-through is also very slow.
Im pretty sure there is something i didn't do correct as no one else has this problem.
I hope someone knows what the problem is.
