Hi all.
Greetings from the Droid 2 scene! For those of you who don't know me, I have a habit of writing guides and tutorials for Droid 2 and Droid X. Here's my latest guide on helping the average person choose an Android phone. Please feel free to share with friends and noobs and what not. Still a work in progress, but hopefully, I'll have it cleaned up in the next few days. Still a lot of grammar and structure things.
Enjoy!

Hey guys, I am happy that I am able to post this here after getting permission from the Admins! My name is Derek (aka viperboy on DF, Phandroid, and others) and I created www.froyoroms.com for Froyo ROMs and Froyo Development. I know there are already alot of forums for Android, but I wanted to give this a shot as this makes it easier for everything to be consolidated in one place.
I started this site up about 3 days ago so I don't have many users yet, but I'm looking forward to the site growing! It is completely free with no ads and you're more than welcome to just view if you want to even if you're not registered. I want to make it clear that I did this for the community, not to make money. I am not looking to compete with this site or any other site, it's just another place for Devs and Android enthusiasts to come together and enjoy all of the new ROMs and everything coming out with Froyo.
Speaking of Devs... I am looking to get some of you guys over there too! Again, I don't want to take you away from another site, but you have an open invitation to your own place over there. I can also provide you with...
Unlimited FTP storage
Your own board for you to moderate
A direct link to your board (example: www.froyoroms.com/developername)
your own e-mail address @froyoroms.com
As for the users, I ask you to please register over there, we would love to have you! As the site grows, I will also be looking for Moderators and I can provide you with storage space and your own @froyoroms.com e-mail as well. When that time comes, I will post more details about it in the Announcement section of my site.
If you have any questions, please let me know! Suggestions and feedback is greatly appreciated as this is my first website and forum and I believe that listening to user feedback is the greatest way to improve a site!
Again, thank you to XDA Admins and this site!

I had some people register here after posting this thread. Just wanted to say thank you for registering! I'm working on some EVO how-to's and will get to the Droid how-to's hopefully tomorrow.
If anyone out there would be able to post how-to's (like rooting and recovery basics since there isn't much in the way of Froyo ROMs right now) that would be great! I am not familiar with all the devices so I could sure use some help!
Thanks again, everyone!

i wanna help with evo
hi there thank you for launching that new site.. i just signed up for it... i have the new evo was interested in helping test out the 2.2... let me know pls would love to give a helping hand
I have had my Droid X for a little over a month now, and have become extremely familiar with it by myself and by the help over at Droid X Forums.
I am wondering if there are any guides (Official or otherwise) that I can use to become an official member of xda developers, and begin contributing fully to the Android Community. (Not to meantion getting passed the eFuse...)
If anyone know of ANY RELIABLE developer guides, that would be awesome.
(Also, on a side note, go check out Droid X Forums if you got a Droid X and tell them hollywood sent you. )
Thank you guys so much for all the assistance and I hope to be an amazing contributor in the near future!
Happy hacking!
I have long loved XDA. When I got my first smart phone, a Samsung Captivate, I was directed to this sight. Thanks to all the community members and their hard work, I was able to learn all the ins and outs of android phones from updating them to the newest Roms and kernels to dealing with any problems that crop up to unbricking my phone when I thought it was a goner.
Now it is my time to say thanks to everyone and contribute what I can, so thank you and I will be giving what helpful feedback I can to all the wonderful developers.
Welcome to XDA. Feel free to check this guide out when you have a little time.

Dear XDA-Forum,
Even though I registered on this website almost a year ago, I never posted anything, I've been using your site as a source of knowledge.
I'm a 40 year old noob, father of two wonderful kids and owner of 2 android devices (I almost mixed up kids and devices here...:angel.
I'm very interested into Android Programming (trying to learn Java in my spare time) and I was a hardcore gamer (b4 kids). I also like building computers, a passion that has come to stop for obvious reasons, and I'm very much into watersports (windsurfing...don't be dirty minded).
Damn, I feel a bit ridiculous telling all this about me now :laugh:
Ah, I almost forgot, I own a HTC Sensation and a Hannspad.
Hopefully I can be of help and be helped around here.
See you around,
Cheers,
Ken

Hello All,
Well I just want to start out by saying hello to my fellow xda freaks! I'm new here and I'm learning how to be an advanced user of my Samsung Galaxy S 3!! I'm extremely excited about learning the ropes of getting the most out of my Galaxy!! I would like to learn first of all how to Root my phone. Also My carrier is US Cellular could someone please tell me which forum I should be in as I did NOT see US Cellular listed in the forums for the Galaxy S 3? It would also be great if someone could point me in the right direction of where I should start reading and learning the ropes of rooting my phone and another question I have is should I learn other things before I go right into learning how to root the phone? I know how to use my phone pretty well to the point where I think I'm above needing to learn the basics if you will. Any help is and will be greatly appreciated in getting started here so I can learn I'm really excited and can't wait to learn more! Until then I'll be reading through this site and learning as much as I can hopefully someone will know where I can go to get on my way to learn the good stuff about my phone!! Again I want to thank you all for the help you will hopefully be giving me it's greatly appreciated very much so!!! Thanks again!!!

If you browse around the development forums you should be able to find more information about how to root your phone and such. Many of the rom developers there have a rom that is labeled specifically for the phone. Look in the title. It should say [d2usc] for your model. Also posted at the top of the original android development thread there's a toolkit. That might have the rooting info your looking for. Also I would highly recommend looking in Android development and reading all(yes ALL) of the stickies posted there. They have a lot of helpful information that can help if you have a problem or prevent it from happening in the first place. After you've learned yourself some knowledge have some fun and happy flashing!
