1) Use the search, if you can't find what you need goto step 2.
2) Create a thread but make sure you post in the right Section and since this is "Sapphire android development" you only post here if you got something to provide the development with if not then "general" is probably the right one! When you create a thread "in the right section" be sure you give all the information you can give when asking for help. Me for once don't wanna ask you 1001 question to be able to help you so always give all the info you can. In this case give us the info about your phone what kind of board it is 32A/B HBOOT and RADIO.
And just a heads up: if the wiki is to technical you should most probably not even get started on flashing anything into your mobile since you will probably just brick it if you don't know what you're doing!

sorta not true....when i first started i was scared as f*ck and thought for sure after my first rom flash that i had bricked my MT3G adn I'm a EE...we should welcome noob's with open arms, because their interest is what will propel android as a "fave" amongst consumers.
Ok, now after getting off my soap box, Mazlano, go to the following site..
1) www.theunlockr.com
2) STUDY www.theunlockr.com
that has all the base information in well concise format that will help you go from a stock magic to one that you can flash Roms.

at the threat of not wanting to sound angry, those comments are f*cking stupid.
1) its OUR right to go to any forum / thread / site we come across on teh internet
2) I simply passed along a site to a newbie where they could find concise information all in one spot with videos to getting them feeling comfie with unlocking their phone, thats what worked for me. ITS MY RIGHT to disseminate any information i choose
3) Grow the F*ck up. I am here because once i became comfie with the ins and outs of my phone, unlockr.com had nothing to offer me and i'm sure that the originator of this thread will find the same thing out.
I see why some of the devs get tired of coming here. Instead of helping someone out and leaving it be some of you trifling f&cks are out to berate and belittle others..leave it be...the guy is new...from one fresh noob to another i gave information that helped me. If you had information that could have helped him that would be concise on XDA that i don't know about, just offer the f*cking information and move on...

Comments were indeed stupid. The forementioned site is a good start for a
beginner. Easy and will get him ready for this forum. Let that site take the burden of rooting because this site can be overwhelming with too many opinions and choices and advices. oh... and menacing dickheads.
Yeah, I have to agree. Theunlockr helped my with its step-to-step tutorial to get the recovery img onto my magic - I found also several guides in the forum as well as I consulted the wiki, but the guide there (with video) is even understood by an idiot
Search, Google, Try if you're 99.99% sure of what you're doing. And have fun

are you serious?
Ok, I would have posted the unlockr also just because I was a noob just like the OP and any forum post where confusing. And the unlockr has hands on videos that tell you step by step. Who cares what site someone uses, and why would someone want to use XDA with members like you.
cause i try and help people here if you check my posts not direct them elsewhere
just looking after this place cause people can't read the rules on xda
thanks for the site buddy. and way to go looking out for noobs! ... and the other dude against advertising... this site is free isn't it? you dont have to pay to be a member or anything, so directing noobs to other sorces of info wont cost u a dime.
You can donate to the rom devs sure, but dont think they dont post their roms on other forums...
and btw, the unlockr really helpd!
and i speak from exp, when i say that the some of the high ranking members of xda tend to divert u off into another web of confusion rather than just help you.
saw it on the universal forum, saw it on the x1 forum. and here we are again! but its cool,,, its better than no help so i am greateful!

Help adding google apps to Cyanogen 6

Hey i am new with android and i just rooted my phone and installed the cyanogen mod 6.0 for the HTC Hero and cannot find a way to get both google apps and google contacts support on my phone. Any help would be very appreciated.

First of all, wrong forum. Try Q&A. Or reply on the thread dedicated to CM6, that would most likely be more appropriate.
Second of all, there is a separate zip to flash for google apps. It is at http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/ ... you can either use the regular mdpi or the tiny (regular has a few extra apps, like Car Dock.
Third of all, google contacts are included in google apps.
Finally ... please search prior to asking a question, let alone beginning a new thread dedicated to that question.
sorry like i said I am noob.

No worries, we were all noobs once. Just make sure to search as best you can before posting in the future, otherwise you'll get 50 people yelling at you haha.

need information where to start learn android or guidance

Hallo everybody,
Im noob, and i wanna learn about android. I don't have background as programer. I just like this stuff and wanna be able to create my own ROM and hopefully i can involve in the development of android. Now i just know little bit about android. I still confuse with some term in android. I can understand the definition, but I confuse with like recovery and backups which i think like duplication.
Does anyone know where can i start and where? I really appreciate your suggestions.
As a start now i have Samsung galaxy s ready to flash.. (Sorry if the term wrong)

First of all this needs to be moved into Q&A section. Moderators please do this.
And to answer you question. You don't transplant rom, you port it, that is how people say it here, and that is how you should ask, for others to understand . Now this so called porting is very hard and long process and is unique from phone to phone. You would need a lot of time and skills to do this. The skills can be learned but if you have the time and the will you could do that. Just contact somebody from Viper team, maybe they can help you with some guides.
there are illegal vipers kangs on some forums, soon there will be official Viper rom for our device
