[Q] Why is it so difficult to find a rom download? Try googling andromeda v2.1 - General Topics

What is the easiest way to find a rom download for a specific cell phone? Google doesnt help any.

Yes, the Andromeda site is rather difficult to find through Google; that's irrelevant at the moment though, as the site is currently down.
I would give you the link, but apparently I'm too new for that.

If there is a forum here for the device, the dev section in that forum is the place to look. I wouldn't trust some random site returned by a Google search!

I know its here somewhere......

Right off the bat, let me apologize for being such a noob. But for the life of me, I cant seem to find out how to actually dual boot WinMo and Android on my TMOUS htc hd2. I have searched using every term and phrase i can think of and nothing. Please keep in mind that I am not only new to this type of stuff, but to forums as well. So then I tried to find out how to flash a rom and radio, and come up empty there too. I couldn't even find if thats all the steps to change a phone. I am willing to learn, WANT to learn, but need a little boost to get started. I am supremely interested in figuring out how to use Ubuntu on my hd2 (thats what my main computer is), but i figure thats probably harder than the rest so i didn't even search it. Please no comments on how noobish I am please. I am already aware of this fact. And if i posted this in the wrong place, or this kind of question is not allowed, moderators feel free to delete or move it (not that you need MY permission). Thanks in advance for any help on this matter, and as I said at the beginning, please forgive my noobishness.
Another Question.....
Another question I wanted to ask that I haven't yet found an answer to was whether or not a computer has to be used for anything other than loading files onto the SD card, and if so, are the programs running on the computer compatible with linux? If not, are they able to run on wine? Again any help is greatly appreciated.
Used to be new too

Check out the stickies
Don't lurk on that phone so don't know if they have a wiki setup. Most likely do. Most phone's have wiki sections that if you read em will all the info you need. You said you're open and want to learn, keep that up.
For reference on searching, the search system is setup like a/the forum sub section, kinda like a file system.

Use the "search this forum" button here on this page to do a search on just that phone's forum. If you use the same button on the accessories main page, it will just search that phone's acc forum. Same goes if you search the xda main forum page, you'll be searching everything.
I did notice yesterday and today the search was acting up, giving me 0 results for topics I know are here, then just searched for general things like case and unlock, still nothing. That may have been the problem you were having, too.
Good Luck
Thank You
That was the problem I was having. I would search, but come up with no or very few results. Thank you for your help. I didn't read all the stickies or even check the wiki, like i said, I'm a noob. Well, far as I am concerned this thread can be closed.

[Q] searching does not work

I have just done a search for "XFJP7" and a list came up with no reffrence to XFJP7.
The first result was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
I did a search in that thread for "XFJP7" and nothing was found.
If this site wants users to search the threads for answers then you need to fix your searching.....
You also need to make it easer to find threads users posted in......
search
hi,
Well me search bought this up :http://www.google.com/cse?q=XFJP7&s...ub-2900107662879704:fs7umqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1 with quite a few results.
Not being sarcastic here, but did you ever think to broaden your search field a little to get more results. for example roms, slowdowns, fixs etc?
THe information is out there, you just need to have a little patience and know how to search!
Cheers.

MyAndroidPortal.com-Basically an Android help tool

My Android Portal is a site I built to help out the android community. There are no ads and I don't sell anything. It's 100% paid for by me. The purpose of the site is to make it easier to find anything you're looking for that is Android related. I'm not trying to steer anyone away from this site, just attempting to make the search easier. The site contains links to tools you will need, guides on how to do various things, and numerous links to damn near everything. So, if you are having trouble finding what you looking for go check out my site. And yes I do link back to XDA, you just end up going where you need to be instead of going through thread after thread.

Interesting, good luck with it.

[Q] How to publish a device-specific .apk?

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere, I was unable to find it. Also, I'm a n00b, so xda wouldn't let me post this in the developer forums.
I need to publish an .apk to the Android Market that is specific to a particular hardware model. I've looked at the Market Filters documentation (at developer.android.com/guide/appendix/market-filters.html), but could not figure out how to filter based on a specific device.
At run-time, you can query "android.os.Build.MODEL", which is great... but I need the market to use that data to filter.

[Q] MIUI v4 Theme Dev questions

Hello,
I did some research before posting (Google and here and what I found is either outdated or not working currently). But, still, I apologize if I missed a similar thread or one that is exactly what I'm looking for.
So I'm looking for either instructions on how to develop a MIUI V4 theme (I'd probably use Illustrator and Photoshop for graphics)
OR
A full graphical development program. I did find one http://miuithe.me/ but I get a "database" error message when trying to load up the website. Does anyone know if that site has been down for a while? Or, is this something that should be fixed soon because I would like to check the program out soon.
I pulled the link from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563780 which was originally posted "25th March 2012" so I'm assuming that this program is still relevant in MIUI theming it may just be that the website hosting the download and all information is down.
In conclusion if anyone has information I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!
