I'm new to Android phones and I'm new to this forum. I just tried to post a direct download link to the Samsung Kies App and the forum restrictions blocked it cause I'm new. There's a lot I have to learn about the Captivate. I have my phone rooted and I'm looking for some nice stuff for my phone to do. I'm open to any app suggestions.

I've been browsing the xda-devs forum and been Googling quite a lot about rooting, and recently just took the plunge to root my Wildfire with Unrevoked.
Now that I've rooted, what can I do next? I've been through quite a bit, and I don't see any topic that lists out some examples for us root newbs to get started with.
I've been playing with Apple devices quite a lot, and I have the first gen iPod Touch which I have been active in jailbreaking and modding, but semi-retired ever since I got my HTC.
Would appreciate guidance from fellow forum members. Thanks. A list of things we can do with a rooted phone and guides on how to do it would be awesome.
First on behalf on everybody on XDA let me give u a big welcome . As to your question, there is a lot you can do with your newly rooted phone. You can find all you need here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=678 Hope you will find this link very handy.
PS: I used to have an iphone 3g also, i jail break it and unlocked it. But now i have a HD2 running android.

Thanks for the prompt reply mate. I've skimmed through those forums, but I can see that most of the topics are questions about this and that instead of 'guide' forums... so I thought it'd do us all good if somebody compiled a list of things we could do after our phone is rooted.
Sounds nifty, no?
Hi everybody, i'm new to all of the Android phones and rooting but i have experience in Jailbreaking iPhones so im not new to hacking phones.
I'm getting very confused about a lot of things to be honest, and wonderd if anyone could help me.
What is the point in rooting?
Do i need to take the "S" of my HTC Desire to be able to root it? If so how do i go about this?
Next, is how do i go about rooting my Desire S?
This is all confusing compared to the iPhone, any help/Tutorials will be very appreciated.
Sorry if this has already been posted or if anything similar has been posted.
Please check the forums for your device.
Welcome to XDA. My advice would be to read all the stickies in your devices forum. Android is a lot more complex then the IOS your used to. Root is giving it admin access.
The search plugin us a powerful tool. Do a Google search for Xda search plugin and you will fund it. Sorry am mobile or I would link you.

Did you ask each and every developer? Many use their own tracking for bugs and downloads. You need to ask for thier permission before doing something like this.

He's not mirroring - it all links back to xda. He did the same for the HD2 and it proved to be very useful.

Hi All,
Just discovered XdaDev by googling....like the spirit of communal help, hope I can contribute back one day.
Am semi tech on many different things but I've got no 'head space' on mobile tech, rooting and all that goes with it.
The more I read the more I get confused, many posts come assuming you know stuff already or have a 'familiarity',
=MY PROBLEM=
My Galaxy Young GT S6102 keeps filling up as storage is low spec. Due to Samsung forced updates I either factory default it again and run around with no security or Learn to ROOT it and perhaps put a minimal image on it.
=======
Tried looking for my model and although there are some refs here and there I cant find a good NEWBIE GUIDE to do it.
Can someone please point me in the direction with a few links. I'm not being lazy, I spend over 20 hours searching the internet and cant find anything that doesn't leave me with some doubt or missing knowledge [assumed pre knowledge/familiarity].
Don't want to brick my phone, am out of work and can't afford to replace.
cheers all.
Hello and welcome to XDA Assist.
HERE is a very easy guide to root your phone.
Enjoy! Any further assistance, just ask in that linked thread
Good Luck and happy rooting!
Hi everybody,
hopefully I am at the right place here to ask these questions. If not please direct me to the appropriate sub forum.
Currently I have a Chines Clone Phone (maybe iphone 7 plus) here available - looking for several things. It seems the installed Android is working at least for the majority of main functions but it is far from being complete. Now I fear that these kind of phone and system is not very reliable or safe (bloatware, spyware and other sniffing stuff below surface or whatsoever). So my question is: Are these phones and their OSes are generally considered to be safely usable? Or does user need to fear to be infected, spied or similar?
So far I tried to Root the phone and to install custom recovery and custom ROM without any success. The only information I got can be seen in the attached screenshot.
Currently I am checking the methods and files proposed here and here. Does anybody know whethere these are reliable and can be trusted?
Unfortunately I could not find much information at XDA so far - also my clone phone identifying thread here at XDA did not provide much help so far.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Bye

XDA has a thread here for cloned devices but unfortunately you have an iPhone clone. This website does not deal with iPhone or iPhone clones(regardless of whether they are android based or not). You'll have to find somewhere else to get your answer.

Ok, thank you - will try to do so.
Then I will reduce my initial questions to the page and contents regarding MediaTek android systems I mentioned here and here.
Does anybody have any experiences with this stuff/site? Or should I open another thread for this question?

That site is all about getting paid for ads, the question isn't whether the guide can be trusted, it's a question of whether the files that are linked can be trusted, those files are in other places and just linked in that guide, they probably were not built/developed by whoever wrote the guide. Some of those files may have originated here at XDA are only linked in that guide to bring you here to download.
