hi im new here.got an xda 2 and dont know where to start with it.or what it can do,and what apps i need.is it worth keeping or get an iphone.please help advise me on what i need
Hi my friend, do u mean XDA 2 (Alpine), or XDA Orbit 2 (Iolite)?
U can start reading and learning about your device:
XDA 2
XDA ORBIT 2
About the needs u have, only u know what you need or expectations you might have from your device.
Enjoy XDA.
omg......... iphone?????? dont you dare lol
as for apps and what it can do....... read the wiki, get used to ur device and what it can do using ur stock rom, dont change anything for 3 months... (if your a real noob)..... then if you want flash a cooked rom which will have more functionality, be quicker, more than likely more stable a lot of apps are free, esp on here
also goto sites like freewareppc etc as well as here (some duplicated of course)
Have fun

There are many many threads available to address this question directly. Look at the top 5 or 6 topics on the development forum. You will find tons of info there.
This is the simple answer.
The complex answer requires your input... What mod do you intend to use? Do you plan on using a modded kernel? Etc.. again I would refer you to the development forum for answers.
Hope this helps °) and good luck with your adventure.

Its just sad you know...
WHEN WILL YOU START READING!!!!!
It clearly says:
"BootManager will not work with Samsung devices that are not listed because of the way Samsung handles the boot partition. Motorola phone's with a locked bootloader will also not currently work. Check compatible phones above."
which you can find on:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager
which is already provided on:
http://m.lifehacker.com/5826050/how-to-dual-boot-multiple-roms-on-your-android-phone
So start reading and stop asking!!!!
Also please change the thread name to [REQ] or [QUESTION]
It is misleading.

We need dual boot kernel For that
There are even multi boot kernels. I was using a g3 with multiboot kernel. I have personally tested it out myself and its good, however no1 has stepped out to compile a multiboot kernel. Anyway its not very important, worse come to worse, just use nandroid backups to restore and switch roms

Don't understand how u "research" cause last I checked the app used for Dual boot was Boot Manager and not Rom Manager.I already provided u with the info needed but since you dont want to read.
Do you know a thing known as google?

Go to the first link that is android market then go click on More info you'll get your answer.
And I'm sry to be rude but I request everyone to let him find this on his own.He just refuses to search anything before asking.

There's no need to be sowy mate! The guy is either thick, or just plain noob who doesn't want to use his gray matter for thinking and analyzing! Most of his post's are plain trolling & pointless. and thru such posts he has now become a "senior" post in just 3 months time! :banghead:

good idea
good idea, i have seen it on x8 and its quiet good
I accidentally in my samsung galaxy gt-i9070 with root idiot browser because system folder deleted. Can it start no longer is but also clearly because Yes the system is away. So far I need I now a rom if I lie correctly on each if I need help so I the handy again in gang wars thank you times in advance.
First of all, I sympathize with your sufferings which tell us NEVER accidentally delete anything using root explorer. Secondly, I think you should search for a ROM yourself in this big forum cuz only you are fully acquainted with what your phone needs. If you can neither find a ROM nor find a person to give you a ROM, you'd better go to ask those who sold you the phone for help and it won't take you too much time or money, considering it isn't a hardware damage at all. Thanks.

So I understand correctly I need a rom? If yes you can because link post währe very great of dier thousand thanks.
help me
could someone please help me because I would hate that it ends up in the garbage, and I buy a new. Please please help me!
check this post it will help you to install firmware http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/06/...-to-android-2-3-6-xxle2-gingerbread-firmware/
So you where rooted... Than in your download folder you'll still find some rooted things, so your warenty is void. You SHOULDN'T go to the ones who sold you the phone cause they'll find out! I suggest you find the stock rom and root after you reinstalled it. Can you flash your phone correctly?

So, i'm "new" too.
First thing, you did send your message from a Galaxy Ace so in assume that you want to play with it?
you can search for your device in the right top of the page, there you select your phone and go with the banana (Dutch xD "gaan met die banaan")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1164
That's the board for your phone. There you can find threads about new roms, themes, apps, etc.
As i read it you woud like to have another ROM, now for every device there are steps to follow, i suggest you to take a look @ the board for your device and look what you would like to put on your Ace. in most cases the steps are all in the ROM's thread, and feel free to ask someone if you don't know what you are doing. Anything is better than making a brick.

Michel

Hi,
If you just 'flopped' on those rom's and kernels, you where very lucky not to have an extra stone in your house.
The best way to learn things is to make mistakes, i am not a Pro either messed up two phones, but you'll learn while doing that...
Always check your system settings like kernel, hardware-build etc. example: a Galaxy Nexus is not just 'a Galaxy Nexus' there are a lot of differences between them, even if they look totaly the same. So if you don(t know what u are doing just ask someone, it won't hurt you or that person.
I know some people over here can be hard to newbies (n00bs) that's just the way it is. Imagine you are asked one question 1000 times a day... you'd be the same...
Your OS is (normally) ALWAYS Android
Your kernel is your "chassis"
Your ROM is the "engine"
If there is something where i can help you with i'll be there
Well... I know this question will be answered in this web, but I canot find it...It's true.. sorry...
I have been looking for a good rom for Galaxy Mini S2, but I don't find anything. I know it is not a great mobile, but when I bought it, first-hand, new, without install anything else but whatsapp..... My mobile goes horrible. I tried a hard reset, and I got the same. So, I think the solution is a rom. But which one?
I'm thinking in CM10 but I don't find my mobile between supported devices... What do you suggest me?
Thank you!!!
Comparing ROMs is not allowed here in xda... sorry bro!

Really??? I don`t understand why. I just wanna know which rom is "supported" for my mobile. I see CM doesn`t. But another one?
I can't also find in this forum a rom list which I can read to choose the best for me.
Thanks.
first.. the solution to your problem is NOT THE ROM! its not a thing to play wid... remember there is a risk that u might end up with an unusable phone is the flashing fails... Try a clean data/cache/dalvik cache via cwm and then give it a try... if u are still under warranty then dont hesitate in going to authorised service centre... i would also suggest u to FREEZE all unwanted apps... ONLY APPS! not SYSTEM SERVICES!

Many thanks. I hadn't think about just a wipe and freeze unwanted apps. I cannot go to warranty because yesterday I dropped the phone, and SAT will say the issue is because of this....
I'll try it this evening.
