CRAP! More steps? Where is the tutorial to install a custom ROM?

Also, what the heck did I just install? The SU***.zip file I mean....

If your on GB ei22, rooted with clockwork installed, usually you can put the rom. Zip file on you're SD card and flash using clockwork. Check the specific rom thread for additional details.

Super User, gives you/your apps root access.

OK, I downloaded this file:http://era.techfumaster.com/ERA_EI22_RC_2.zip

Now I place it on my SD Card Root directory, Boot my phone into Setup mode (volume down + Power Button + Camera Button) and select the ERA_EI22_RC_2.zip file and that's it?

In case I don't like it or something goes wrong, how do I flash back to stock Gingerbread?

What is Cyanogen Mod? I heard a friend talk about that one, is it just another mod like the legendary?

Yes!

You can make a full backup with clockwork before you flash a rom. Then go back to it later if you want.

Cyanogen mod 7 is a highly supported custom rom . Runs great on my nook color, but still has bugs on the epic.

Ahhhh, now it's getting more clear.

A couple of more questions.

What is the difference between wiping the cache and doing a full restore on the phone prior to flashing the Mod? I was watching the video and the guy said he prefers a full wipe/restore on the phone prior to flashing the mod. What all does just wiping the cache do? does it also delete anything on the SD card?

What does " Dalvik X3" mean?

Also, is there just a standard ROM that is like GB but removes all the CIQ? I like what I read on the Legendary ROM but I'm not sure if I'll like the layout.....

Wiping data removes everything, no not your SD card, takes a google sign in and reinstall of apps. No big deal.
I do it every time, takes a few minutes to restore where you were, you can backup texts with SMS backup.

The difference between mods like Cyanogen and MUIU is they are based on stock Android source code released by Google. Other roms are usually modified versions of stock roms that came with the phone.
