What would all have to be done to get the Danger OS from the Sidekick to the Android operating system on the rooted G1? Would it be too much work to actually get it up and running?
I don't think it's open source, and it's a giant piece of crap. What the hell would be the point of putting a garbage OS on an Android device?

If you wanted the Danger OS you should have bought a sidekick. The g1 can only run linux and Android is THE BEST linux distro out there. I can't wait until HP makes that netbook with android

As I have understand ROM is only manufacturers " own look". So is it possible to somehow delete ROM and use "naked" android ?
Im using Motorola DEFY 2.2.2 (nordic nonblur version)
This could be stupid question. But yes, Im beginner in Android world
Even if you use "naked" Android, this would still be a ROM. This is what's commonly referred to as 'stock' Android.. And yes it is possible, just do a search for a 'barebones' ROM. Here's one.
A phone without a ROM is like a computer without an operating system. It may as well be an empty box.

a custom Rom (like cm7) is just a modified android firmware which has his own look and the "unnecessary" System Apps are deleted, the whole android system is customized, you have more settings...
i hope i could help you.
sorry for my bad english!

I've always wondered why they still it a ROM. In early days, smartphones and PDAs had a read only memory area which stored the Operating System(OS) of the device. This is how the word ROM came. I think this is not relevant anymore and a OS would be more descriptive.
If you swap the word ROM with the word Operating System(OS), everything will be clear. Android doesn't need ROM or OS to work because Android itself is the ROM/OS.
All devices come with a preinstalled ROM designed by the manufacturer. This is called stock ROM.
Then, there's vanilla ROM or AOSP ROM. These ROMs have the Android OS in its purest form as developed by Google. Most manufacturers add a custom interface and software in the stock ROM.
Finally, we have custom ROMs. There are extensively modified ROMs which have features and customization you can't find in custom or AOSP ROMs. These are usually for the people who want to push their device beyond its limits. It's kind of like getting a tattoo. Famous examples include CyanogenMod, MIUI and MCR.

"Android doesn't need ROM or OS to work because Android itself is the ROM/OS."
So is it possible to somehow hide/delete ROM ? I have Motorola DEFY (nonblur) and I don't really like that ROM made by motorola..

No. You still need a ROM, just think of a rom as the operating system. You can flash a rom that's what you're looking for. Look through your phone's development section & see if you can find something that you like. Then if you don't know how to flash custom roms, read about that until you understand. It's not hard to do, and I bet you'll like your phone even more once you find a rom that you like.

You can *replace* the MotoBlur ROM by Motorola with a AOSP or Vanilla ROM for your phone. This is specific to your phone and you should see the development section for your phone.
A phone will not function without a ROM. It's like the Windows or Linux in a PC. ROM is just another word for Operating System.

No rooting or modding procedure is 100% risk free. There's always a slight risk although it's very minimal.
Most often, even if something goes wrong and you can't use the phone, you can usually boot into bootloader/fastboot/recovery and use a PC software that came with your phone to restore it to the factory state.
I have used z4root. I don't prefer it but it's relatively easy and works on all 2.1 phones, some 2.2 phones and very few 2.3 phones. If your model is listed as supported, it will most probably work.
Nonetheless, this question is specific to your phone and you should ask it in the Motorola Defy forums or another Defy user.

You simply can't install a new android version of the original (Stock) Rom for your device unless your phone manufacturer gives the update for that particular device.But if your phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked,you could search for custom roms for you device which could be flashed to your device use clockworkmod or by any specic flashing software for your device

so in order to get a higher version of android the carrier you have has to accept a update from the oem (Original equipment manufacturer) or you can root it and get a custom rom which is pretty much the same thing only its less professional and opens source so people can do whatever they want with it. i found a guide on xda on how to root it and get a custom recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215966

actually my phone is already rooted and im already using teamburst rom.. and there is no other rom around there so what iwanted actually is to maybe install or developed a kitkat for my device cause it says that kitkat can run smooth even at a low spec phone like mine. .anyway as for the update from my phone manufacturer it seem it will never gonna happen they seem dont care about any of that , what important to them is to sell the phone and that is that.. most people here seem dont mind that but i do. .i know the answer to my question i know also what to do. .i just dont have the resources for now. .a lot of people use the same phone as mine that looking for the same answer as i do if only we could unite to do this project. .but maybe they just buy new device
Hi guys !
First of all i want to say i'm totally new on android thingies
I got iPhone since it's release date and i never changed to another OS...now i'n thinking to buy a tablet and i don't want to buy an iPad but a more open source OS...
My first idea was to buy a windows tablet but i saw on internet that you can instal windows 7/8 on any android tablet...is that true or just fake b*******s ?
Also is it possible to intall linux like ubuntu on these android tablets ?
Multiboot maybe ?
Thanks in advance !

i think theres a HP tablet that officially lets you dual boot android or windows 8 on it, if you want linux and ubuntu instead i would get a nexus 7, im not sure if the 2013 model has any linux or ubuntu roms but you can check, the 2012 model is PERFECT enough anyway and i know they have unbuntu and maybe linux roms, you could find one for cheap on swappa.

i dont think the tab z2 has an Ubuntu rom yet, i see that the first one might have one though, the z2 has quiet better specs but since you want to multiboot i would still recommend the nexus 7 its not compatibility issues ( some might) so you could build unbtunu touch for the xperia tab z2 if you wanted.

Hi
I have installed many custom roms on my LG G2 VS-980 and enjoyed alot, I was thinking that if there is any way to install windows as a custom using TWRP, if there is than it would be really great for any one who wants to switch OS without compromising their own devices...

No, smartphones are designed to work with certain Operating Systems , it's the same thing as wanting to install the Apple OS on the phone. Each Operating System will be looking for certain hardware components in the phone that it's designed to work with. Though it is possible to theme roms to make it look like a windows phone.
Please press thank button if I helped you.
I was doing some research and i was wondering how to install Android on a pc/laptop with root. Any suggestions would be great
Do you want to run Android as main OS or running as emulator?
You can install that via. Nox Player
I havent really decided yet but leaning more towards as a primary OS

If you're planning on installing an android is on windows, a good one to check out is Remix OS. I personally haven't used it before but its apparently the only fully functional Android OS for pcs.
Might be worth giving it a look!
Ill probably run it as a secondary at first to get an idea of hardware/software compatibility first
