LG Thrill 4G - General Questions and Answers

I am new to Rooting, i have rooted my LG Thrill using Super One Click and it was a success. The problem is i don't know what to do now? What is something good to have after rooting? I am really liking the custom rom's i see shown on youtube. I also like the tethering for free. I just don't understand where you get the roms, the apps, etc. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Here you go. Every phone (mostly) has their own forums. ROM's can be found in the development section. Just a heads up, you can use the development section, but you can't post in it until you have 10 posts.

Advice for a Newb?

I have an Inspire 4G/Desire HD and while this isn't my first android phone (Backflip and Aria) This is the first time I seriously considered rooting. I don't find battery life to be that much of an issue, but I want to root for the customization options i.e font changes and the such, however I don't know where to begin. Im confused about doing NANDroid backups and flashing roms and radios. sorry if a similiar topic has been posted already. And if I do root I'm looking for something with gingerbread for my phone.
BTw. My phone received the 4G enabling update back in april

For the HTC Inspire, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1018 and for the HTC Desire HD, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765. Choose any rom you like. Have fun.
P.S. - You should have posted this in your device specific forum.
I wasn't sure if it belonged there because I was asking for general advice on rooting, but thank you for your help. Is there anyway for me to get this moved to the Inspire 4G forum

A moderator can move it. Maybe you could ask one but remember they are very busy. Udk is a moderator for this forum so he could move it.
Okay, thank you

New to android and rooting would like advice/info

Hello I am new to android I have had my HTC Incredible S for about 2 months and I have been reading on here for a while off and on about rooting and flashing custom roms onto my phone the only thing is is that from what I have read multiple things like that my phone can get bricked and be useless and it is also difficult to root the incredible s as well, I am just asking for people to tell me how likely I am to brick my phone and hopefully maybe some people could talk to me about flashing custom roms onto my phone and possibly link me some websites or possibly a video to show how to do this to my phone.
I would start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497
Also try searching here - http://www.google.com/cse?q=android...=ISO-8859-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=incredible s root
But next time I would suggest going to the specific forum for that device and, after reading through the sticky/roll up threads, ask the question there.

Thanks for the reply I wasn't totally sure where to post this thread so I posted just tried the general forum I will look there and maybe post there if I don't find what I'm looking for

[Q] TOTALLY NEW! HELP IM A NEWB! TUTORIAL FOR ROOT, FLASHING...etc for LG G2X! HELP!

Hey pros and newbs, like me lol, I need help rooting, flashing ... etc for my LG g2x. Yes I chose it over the Samsung Galaxy S2 because it looked and felt smoother when i handled both. But any way, can anyone create a step by step tutorial instead of clicking all these links and sending me to different pages and just keep it on one page? I really want to learn! I tried going about it but just worried about bricking my phone. If any one could help it would mean alot to me, the present and future hackers for android! 8)
Go spend some time reading in the development thread, There are already many thread with lots of information.
Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154
Please READ MORE. People are not as willing to help someone who doesn't not seem like they have read the basics. Also slow down with all the "I'm a NEWB stuff". You are most likely to get flammed. Try to seem more mature and you'll get better results and answers.
Assuming you get G2x with Gingerbread you would...
1. NVFlash ClockworkMod (Do this right & and it will be hard to brick)
2. Flash Rooted Rom of your choice. (Gain root access)
To answer your most likely next few question:
WeaponX for 2.3.3
CM7, EagleBlood, MIUI for 2.3.7
(Personal preferences)
What OS u have on your computer? Also go see what version of android u have. 2.2.2 or 2.3.3. After y answer those questions ill walk you through it.

Question about porting a rom

Sorry in advance if this should be in Q&A (mod please move if inappropriate) but my question has to do with development so....
Anyway.. was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any guides or helpful threads that would help teach me how to port a rom. I am wanting to start to learn how to make custom ROMS and figured this would be a good place to start as the heavy lifting has already been done by the real devs...
Specifically looking to port lets say a nexus S rom for use with the NS4g for now.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
I was wondering the same thing. It seems like so much good is coming from the Nexus S section, that I would like to help bring it to the 4g side.

Yes, I know. Me too as well, but there's no guides on porting or I just can't find any. If anyone knows any guides on porting, point us fellows in that direction. thanks!
Man... kinda sux... no one can help at all?
First, this belongs in Q & A, hence no answer , second, it should be pretty easy, nandroid, switch out rild, and rils, make correct edits to build prop, and a kernel for ns4g and you should be good to go.
Are there any guides out there that perhaps detail this process a little bit, I would like to start porting some ns roms over to ns4g. I followed the steps provided by the previous post, and got most everything booting for the new miui rom with ICS however the wifi still doesn't work and it will not allow me to flash a different kernel as afterwards it refuses to boot. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Completed] General rooting info (please help)

Hello, new member here. Let me start with I apologize if there is a general tutorial explaining everything I am about to ask, I have looked and cant seem to find one. I know and understand how to root and what the basics are that it allows. I have rooted several phones for the sole reason of cleaning preinstalled apps to make more space. The problem is I bricked my last phone and am now using my new LG G Stylo. I have no real idea about what or how recoveries work. Also kernels and roms. I am looking for a general tutorial explaining pretty much everything about rooting. Like how to mAke and use a recovery, what roms are and how to use them, same with kernels. Nothing too in depth, just the basics so that when I do root this phone I can have a recovery ready and set up, and get the full potential of rooting.
Also if anyone knows of a tutorial for the LG G Stylo by metro (LGMS631) that goes over the best setup for this phone for speed,space, an functionality.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thank You, Nikkon

Thank you, I thought about there first but figured that doesnt make sense. My questio.s are mainly general. I was only stating my new phone and asking a quick aquestion abbout that, but the main gist of this post has nothing to do with the LG G Stylo. The main questions and even topic of post is general questions just explaining what it means to root and what kernels, roms, etc. actually are. In general. Thank you for some type of feedback tho. Its appreciated.
