are there no tweaked roms for the Imagio yet.
Kind of a newbe stupid question but what do people mean when they say kitchen? radio?

if the file is a .exe then you run the file from a PC with device connected to USB
if it is a .nbh then you can place on storage card has a backup, this is not needed, but in the future if you are on the road, and want to reset your device, this is nice to have. Otherwsie you just connect it to PC and run a .exe file.
There needs to be a modified SPL, (Hard SPL) this will bypass security checks that HTC places on there, these security checks are in place to prevent modified firmwares from being placed on device, but once that is modified and placed on device, then you are welcome to add tweaked roms to your device at will. But without that, then you wont be able to add anything.
And so at this point in time there is no tweaked roms, because this file is yet to be hacked together and everything.
This is then called a custom rom, a rom that is modified with user tweaks and and modifications, these tweaks can be used to update programs that are used in device, to adding in new features from future devices and everything else, this is then also optimized with registery tweaks, to make batter life longer and performace on everything better overall for everything.
The place that is used to make these modified files in are called a Kitchen, and it is called this because it is what you are cooking up, and you always cook in a kitchen, so that is how that term comes to place withe everything. So a Chef (Person that makes ROMS) makes his creations in a Kitchen.
The radio is what is used to detect towers and everything, the radio can be updated to newer ones, and some radios work better then others, some have better GPS, some have better reception, some have better battery life, it tends to depend on what are you are in, and everything, so you have to test all of this yourself to know what works best for you.
The radio can be flashed from a PC, plug device into PC and then run the .exe and it will install everything. When you are restarting your device, you will see Orange letters, and they will have an R- this is your radio version, and so that is a way you can check everything.
I am hoping this will clear everything up for you a little bit.
