Hey guys,
Ok, so here goes a few questions.
Im not totally familar with android, so...
I have a "micro velocity cruz tablet T105" got it from a family member when the got an ipad.(i hate apple)
I finally found a the LS Settings app, to allow me to change the touchscreen settings.
So, i keep seeing around that there are forums, with people talking about using "abd" to root, or using "zroot" .
So what i need information on is.... is there a general program for all devices, or is there specific programs for devices?
Ive seen that there are custom roms, but most of the forums are so old that the file links are out of date, and are not current.
If anyone can help me out i would really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,
I was about to sell my hd2 when i discovered the versatility of the device its great!!
however, after joining this site, i am at a bit of a loss....
i would love to start of with just some themes, but a lot of them require "CHT2" just wondering what that was and how i find out if i have/ how to get it.
also, what is the best and most reliable build of android as i am sure i will want to convert!! (along with the best accompanying guide, on kernels, radios etc) i have heard of darkstone, but i would really appreciate any help.
Any threads any1 can suggest would be much appreciated, and if possible i would really love to upgrade to android 2.3, but is it reliable does the marketplace still work etc. etc
sorry for being such a total newbie
any info much appreciated thanks!!!
Hi and welcome to the forum!
The HD2 is a great device and very popular. There's a huge amount of information HERE in the Leo forum which you'll want to read. I'm pretty sure that anything that can be with that phone has been covered there already.
It would be great having Android on your phone and you can do it, but you may want to explore some of the customization options for WM first. CHT is Cookies Home Tab and it allows for more modding possibilities and gives you more control over the general appearance.
I'd suggest going through any screenshot type threads to see what other people have done with their phones and try to find out what they used to do it.
Good luck and happy modding
ive had a droid for a month or so. i was a big blackberry guy and have heard all the great things about droid so i used my upgrade for a droidx. ive been told this is the forum to really get the most out of you droid. i am semi literate with this phone (not nearly as much so as my blackberry) but won't the most out of it ... how should i start, what should i do / download. i want a fast different look that my otr droid friends will be envious of
thanks for the help

Hi, welcome to the forum!
It can be massively overwhelming for new users here to know what is acheivable and what isn't, especially if you're not too familiar with the OS on the device you are using.
I would suggest getting to know the forum and learning which sections are relevant to you first. Browse around for a while and read some guides. What really helped me was to focus on the 'Post your Home Screen', screenshot type threads where people showed what they had done with their own phones. This way you can see what is acheivable and start leaning how to get there yourself.
FAQ/Guides/Wiki stickies are a good resource and are found in most of the forums.
Well for starters decide if you want to root your phone or not - read about what's that about, how does it "liberate" your device (AND YOU) from the tyranny of evil phone produces, just how badly you can break your device (the warnings), etc. After that you can begin trying different ROMs (custom firmwares) for your device, until you find the one, that suits your needs. Then learn BASH and begin writing scripts, hacking the living hell out of your device...
...or just use a custom "launcher" app, if you literally want your phone to look different. You can find some at the Market.
PS: Either way remember, the search bar is your friend. Before posting check if anybody has asked the same question - at least 95% of cases you'll find more about your problem/question, just by searching.
Hello there! This would be my first post around these parts, although I've owned my Nexus S for around 7 months now and browsed these forums in the past. I'd also like to say that I realize this question might have been asked more than once already, but I've done my due diligence and searched without finding a definitive answer.
Anyway, I've decided that I've gone for too long without being able to flash ROMs, use all those sudo-required tools and whatnot, and I've decided to root my Nexus S so I can get some of the fun I've been missing. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm a software developer and I work with embedded systems for a living, but I just don't want to risk my $500 phone if I can avoid it. What this means is be as technical as you need to be, but I'd rather have the root process be a walk in the park and not an excursion to Mordor.
Anyway, my phone is a Nexus S i9020A(UCKF1, whatever that means), running Android 2.3.6. I've read this and this thread, and while the first looks like what I'm looking for, I recall my brother being able to root his Nexus One in a few clicks and I was wondering if I could do the same for my device. The second thread looks a bit more promising, but all I've found in that thread is mentions of other NS sub-models and not of my own, nor if running 2.3.6 means incurring in any risks.
As you can see, I'd appreciate some help here. Is there a painless, few-clicks method for rooting my specific device? If you have the same device, how did you do it? Do you have any experience with that tool I linked to?
Thanks in advance. If by any chance this has been asked before, do point me in that direction and I'll be equally pleased.
Hello,
I am looking at sub-$100 android tablets, and am wondering if any of them are any good. I know not to expect $300-$500, but some of these things have to be alright. Which ones can you install clockwork mod and which ones have custom rom support? How would you even find that, considering how inaccurate most of the descriptions can be?
I am looking at a specific tablet, but XDA rules prevent me from posting links because I havent posted enough.
Thanks!
(yes, i have done some searching, if there are any threads i have overlooked, can someone please link to them, instead of just telling me to search?)
Hey guys!
Did some some searching around on this site and couldn't even find a mention of my device. I just recently bought a Huawei Y210C android phone. It is a Chinese manufacturer, which might explain the sparsity of information in English about it.
Anyway, about me, I do some programming in Java, and I want to eventually be making android apps. I also want to root my huawei, try some different ROMs on it and stuff. Now, as far as android development goes, I'm a pure beginner. Does it matter that there aren't people talking specifically about my phone, or can I snag some 'how to root' guides from other devices and ROMs, etc., and use them effectively, or would I have to figure out how to root it on my own?
Essentially, what I am asking is: given that there is no sub-forum for my device, and that I'm a dev noob, will I find useful stuff around here?
cheers
For anyone, and everyone , unless your gonna hack XDA, or blow the servers up then NO! otherwise yes, and you are very welcome if you ask me . Always nice seeing another XDA member. You may or may not know shiz about flashing a ROM, or kernel, or unlocking bootloaders, etc, etc, but that's why there are tutorials to get people started
Everything you needed to get started should be here , welcome to XDA

As far as your phone. You can for sure utilize XDA, I just did a search and there's not really much of anything for your phone, but you can for sure still post stuff you make for it on here . I'm pretty sure you could utilize the 'Android Developing and Hacking' or 'Legacy&Low Activity Devices' to post your work for that phone .

XDA is a great information resource for pretty much anything Android related. Being that you have a desire to develop apps I'm 99.9999% positive there is someone on XDA that'll help you out any way they can if you have any questions. In the end though only you can answer your own question. Joining XDA was one of the best choices I have made and now its inspired me to learn the Python language and then I'll tackle Java lol.
