[Q] How To Learn About Phone Modding? - General Questions and Answers

Hey I'm a somewhat active member here and I'd REALLY like to learn more about ROM development, Unlocking, App development, Basebands, Radio versions... Ya know all that sweet stuff!
My problem is, I can't find any TuTs or How-Tos on XDA anywhere and nobody else has WinMo, WP7, and Android all on the same site! So could someone please point me in a good direction to learn about mobile software development? Please and thanks!
ADDITIONALLY: I'm looking for a good college path to stroll down and I'm definitley considering mobile phone development (software) and mobile phone repair (hardware). Can anyone give me an online tech school or a school in northern colorado that has either of these programs (but prefferably both)?
Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum
Not sure if this model is made by HTC as we dedicate this forum to HTC devices.
Perhaps other member can point you into the rigth direction
Good luck,
Its actually made by hp and to tell you the truth i have no idea what htc really is. Im sorry though but alot of the programs for most of the htc stuff has worked on it previously as well as currently and ive not really had any problems with it. I just want to make it more finger friendly as ive said before anyways. Im glad you guys will still accept me here no problems. I would be greatly appreciative of help with this matter no matter what though.

This is HTC and in general what XDA-DEVS is about:
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.
You are more than welcome!
Just wanted to let you know that we are HTC devices only
Good luck,
tis there noone that can help me at least with the .net com framework stuff.
Can some one post on how to change the .net compact framework it does run windows mobile 5 the only difference between this and a phone is the phone part everything else is the same so if someone can please help me with this I would greatly be appreciative.

i didnt see a newby thread

hi, my name is dale. i have been a huge windows fan my whole life and just bought a new htc hd7. from my experience its similar to the iphone but doesnt compete with the new droid twin core phone. anyways, i fiddle with xna programming quite a bit, i can read it but not write it. on the xna platform there is also an option to compile to zunes format. i know those projects can be syncd onto my phone but what about actual app development? would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction? what software do i need to start learning? anyways, i would like to be a active member of this site, if anyone would like help with anything im sure i can hold down 2d and 3d tiles at the least.
looking forward to meeting all of you, your fav nublet ...
dale
You didnĀ“t see enough...
Welcome to forums,
Have a look on the off topic section

[Q] Help from an expert!

Hi,
So it been a month that I am testing some china phone, gionee has some of really good quality. Well build, top materials and grat quality of displays too.
The problem with this phones is that there is no costum rooms for them and to be honest the software (android) SUCKS!!!
What I want to do is to build my own "MOD" to run on those phone. I know java quite well.
So my question is,,, What to I need to start learning to be a developer? I know that is a bit of an abstract question, but I need an advise. I have read all the posts from XDA University but the thing is. On that site you only explain how and android phone works.
I want to know what do I need to learn to build a kernel? Where do i find libraries? How to build a Bootloader? and finaly how do I get that to work with the radio?

[Q] I need advice, please read, imporant! iMac related

Hi guys and gals I'm new to the forum.
I've recently decided I wanted to get into app development, I am still yet to learn Objective C and Java but I want to be making apps for both iOS as well as Android.
I am thinking of getting an iMac 27-inch: 3.4GHz is it completely worth it or are there other alternatives out there with a cheaper or similar price tag? Please I would like informative responses so do not post unless its helpful as it will save my time and yours
I'm assuming this might not be a straight forward answer but the reason I want to get an iMac is due to the wider screen size and clearer display and for using XCODE (eventually) but I want to develop for Android also.
Would you also recommend any programmes or software to use for someone starting out with programming and development? Ideally for starting out and then the more complicated programmes for experienced people.
Thank you.
Bump, could someone please answer me.
