Ok!! So if you couldn't tell by my Avatar I am a huge G1 and Android fan. I am currently using a modified Rogers ROM
I noticed in a thread here somewhere that you guys are finally getting G1's over there, so I wanted to start a thread so I could give you guys that are into modding, some really great links. Please feel free to add info and ask questions to see if I can help... If I don't know the answer I at least may be able to point you in the right direction.
Currently I am working out how to create my own themes and will post a tutorial at a later date, but it will be for the more advanced tinkerers and graphics people.
Please no ipod fanboys tooting your horn, I don't care... please start your own thread somewhere else
So the term for hacking your G1 is rooting and you can start here
In the beginning... There was ROOT
here
SPLs for DREA100 & DREA110 (Orig, Eng, Hard)
and here
Modded recovery and boot images
then backup utilities
Nandroid v2.0 - Full NAND backup and restore tool
editing from the command line on the pc
Basic adb/root commands for noobs
This thread has info on other informative threads

Lastly... at XDA there is very little tolerance for people posting questions without searching the forum first, this is because some of the threads get huge and it becomes very difficult to manage. So please be respectful of others and search before you ask
