HELP ! What after rooting???

Hello,
I have rooted my HTC Tattoo using universalAND root app. I want to know what can i do after rooting it?? and also if i want to install froyo 2.1 on it how do i do it ?
also will it work on my tattoo ?

Just search for Android Froyo 2.1 in Android Market and push the Update Button....
Wtf search the forums if you know nothing!

Yeah dude he's right do some research.. its not that hard.
I'l give you a quick list of what you can do:
Apps2SD (store apps on SD card)
CPU Overclocking (self explanatory0
FLASH A CUSTOM ROM (I highly recommend that is what you search for first)
Wireless Tethering (share internet connection with your PC)
And lots, lots more...
Your first point of research should most definitely be Flashing a Custom Rom.
But seriously how hard is it to just search google?

@ xtcislove : sorry for being so lazy...actually i was searching for things before posting this..but got really confused half way. thanks for your advice.
@ Android001 : thank you for the starting points..will get to it soon.

no problem..
you do realise he was joking about the market and update thing, you cant do that

yes... well i managed to root my tattoo with universaland root. installed titanium backup. its asking for busybox. when i try to do adb i keep getting an error. i searched the forums for an answer, but they r not helping. m attaching an image if u can just go through it and let me know what can de done..it will be gr8.

I cant see any picture?
I don't know much about the Tattoo because i use a Hero..
For BusyBox i know that it comes built in with most Custom Roms, I know for a fact that it comes with all Villain and Cyanogen Roms.
I think there is an application on the market that I have seen before that attempts to install BusyBox.. but that isn't guaranteed to work.
Does it not just install when Titanium Backup gives you the option to?
And why don't you just flash a Rom then you wont have all this trouble.

Okay a little bit i tell you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=544
Here you should have a look first.
1. Install a Recovery Image
2. Install a Custom ROM
3. Modify your Phone personally but carefully! Do not so much at the system and do not download things of other Phone Section´s!

Unable to boot into Clockwork Recovery on Nexus S

Hi all,
You may need to bare with me a little with all of this, I'm extremely new to it all.
I picked up my Nexus S on Monday after previously owning an iPhone and then a Windows Phone 7 handset, firstly I have to say that I can't believe I didn't get an Android phone sooner - they're leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in my opinion and offer a much better!
With the help of a set of instructions I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery to use Clockwork 3.0.0.5, from there I was able to install Superuser from the ZIP to root the device.
Everything is working and rooted but whenever I try and get into the Clockwork recovery it keeps chucking me into the standard recovery, I've tried from the bootloader and from ROM manager.
The problem I have is that I can't backup my ROM because it just takes me to the standard recovery and sits there.
I had a look around but couldn't find anything relating to this on the forum.
There was mention of something called 'sgs kernel flasher' but it states it wont run on Gingerbread which I'm running.
Any ideas?
If you have any questions of something I may have missed out I can answer those!

Sosmething very similar to me recently. I just reflashed the clockwork recovery via adb/fastboot and works like a champ now.

Thanks for the help guys, as I said I'm quite new to all this so sadly the thread title:
"Q about cwm 3.0+ and 2.3.2"
Didn't quite stick out to me!
Problem sorted now though, all backed up and new ROM installed - happy days!

How edit a kernel?

I'm using MIUI rom for my Nexus S. I have tested Netarchy kernel, the most complete of his genre, but it give me stability issues.
I want take the default android kernel and add some non-invasive features like overclock, bln, etc. wich let's MIUI run stable.
My problem is that i don't know how i can edit a kernel. Unpack .img files, decompile and recompile them.
Anyone can help me with a small introduction?
Thanks a lot.

first of all, wrong section..even though it is about "development"...still a question
anyways, there is no way to "edit a kernel" they have to be built from source. changes need to be made before you compile it.
there are many threads here on xda with tutorials -search >compile kernel<
a simple way to start is seach >mkbootimg< normally this would be compiled from source as well but there are a few threads that people have posted tutorials of the ins and outs and have packages for download.
basically with that you can "split" a boot.img separating the ramdisk (specific to the rom) and the kernel...then merge "your" miui ramdisk with a working (or built for other rom) kernel

What's a kernel and radio and how do I install them?

I'm thinking of installing a new ROM but I also see something about a kernel and a redo I should install. I understand how to install a ROM but I get lost when they talk about kernels and radios. Do I install them before or after I put the ROM on? And is it the same presses as adding a ROM?
1.download and put them on my sd card
2.Reboot into cwm
3.And select them from the sd card
Correct?

HI
Well first of all, welcome
Second, read this thread :
[INDEX] Guides - ROMs - Kernels - Radios & RILs - MODs
In that thread, read
"(For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers"
"Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on (noobproof)"
In second, everythting is explained .. enjoy

A kernel is the core that provides basic services for the device. It includes all the basic drivers for your ROM like WiFI-Driver, Camera ......

This is the main structure of android
A radio is the firmware for your GSM-Radio.
If you want to flash a different kernel you first install the best fitting rom and then flash the kernel just the way you wrote.
What do you mean with "And is it the same presses as adding a ROM?"
Sorry I'm not a native speaker
I'm too late I guess

Meant to say is it the same process as adding a ROM but got auto corrected

I was a bit confused at first but I figured out too

If u read those guides i posted, everything will be crystal clear to you. Those are really good and helpful guides.
And, if some one helped you on this forum with its answer, just click "thanks" button below his post..
Regards

All ROMs include a Kernel, so use that and ONLY change it if you're not happy with the supplied one.
ROMs may have a Radio version dependency, That will be listed in the ROMs OP.

Thanks for everything guys. This whole thing dosent seem as hard now I have already installed a couple different roms.

GL, It'll get more fun and more hassle as you get more into it.
Just remember, there is no BEST. It's what works for you that's important.

Update LG Wine Smart from Android 4 to 5 or 6?

Apologies for posting here but there is no forum for the LG Wine Smart (D486). Mine currently has stock 4.4.2 KitKat. Aw remember that? LG update app no longer functions correctly as it was shut down in 2020.
Is there any way to update this to 5 or preferably 6? There is an app I need that isn't compatible with Android 4.

You have to find
1. A Custom ROM suitable to phone ( specs: 1 GB RAM, 4 GB max storage )
2. If found, a Custom Recovery suitable to phone to flash the Custom ROM found

Many thanks. Sorry for the questions but if you were me, where would you look first?
Alternatively I wanted to make it clear that this phone officially shipped with Android 5.1 later in its life. I just happen to have an earlier 4.4.2 version. Where might I find the official 5.1 ROM and flash it?
Edit: I have found some options that I will try at http://lg-roms.com/lg-firmware/lg-h410/h41010d/2879

I'm not having any luck @jwoegerbauer . It turns out 4.4.2 was the latest official ROM for this phone.
Would you be able to assist a little? If you were me, where would you look first (as in URLs) to get a custom Android 6 ROM and recovery?
I'd like to update to Android 6 or higher. All the apps I want to install require Android 6+.
I'd just need to make sure it can recognise input from the LG Wine Smart D486 keypad.
