I suggest try Resurrection Remix ROM first. I am a n00b too :P I installed only one ROM and rooted few days back.

 

First, root via CF Root.

Take a Backup of your system by CWM recovery (I missed this part :(:cry: )

Then, download the Resurrection Remix 1.8.1 package from XDA.

Then, keep that package on your internal storage.

Use CWM recovery application to boot into CWM recovery.

Then install the ROM by using CWM menu.

 

It is very easy really.

 

 

 

I am not finding any speed difference between my ICS ROM and TW. I was fed up with look of TW, especially the menu. This ROM has some nifty options. Though a better thing to do is ROOT, and install themes and custom animations on stock firmware, instead of installing a custom ROM if you like TW that much.

Without rooting, you are missing a lot, and I came to know this once rooted.

Thanks.Do i need to upgrade to stock ICS before rooting?
