1) Use the search, if you can't find what you need goto step 2.
2) Create a thread but make sure you post in the right Section and since this is "Sapphire android development" you only post here if you got something to provide the development with if not then "general" is probably the right one! When you create a thread "in the right section" be sure you give all the information you can give when asking for help. Me for once don't wanna ask you 1001 question to be able to help you so always give all the info you can. In this case give us the info about your phone what kind of board it is 32A/B HBOOT and RADIO.
And just a heads up: if the wiki is to technical you should most probably not even get started on flashing anything into your mobile since you will probably just brick it if you don't know what you're doing!

sorta not true....when i first started i was scared as f*ck and thought for sure after my first rom flash that i had bricked my MT3G adn I'm a EE...we should welcome noob's with open arms, because their interest is what will propel android as a "fave" amongst consumers.
Ok, now after getting off my soap box, Mazlano, go to the following site..
1) www.theunlockr.com
2) STUDY www.theunlockr.com
that has all the base information in well concise format that will help you go from a stock magic to one that you can flash Roms.

at the threat of not wanting to sound angry, those comments are f*cking stupid.
1) its OUR right to go to any forum / thread / site we come across on teh internet
2) I simply passed along a site to a newbie where they could find concise information all in one spot with videos to getting them feeling comfie with unlocking their phone, thats what worked for me. ITS MY RIGHT to disseminate any information i choose
3) Grow the F*ck up. I am here because once i became comfie with the ins and outs of my phone, unlockr.com had nothing to offer me and i'm sure that the originator of this thread will find the same thing out.
I see why some of the devs get tired of coming here. Instead of helping someone out and leaving it be some of you trifling f&cks are out to berate and belittle others..leave it be...the guy is new...from one fresh noob to another i gave information that helped me. If you had information that could have helped him that would be concise on XDA that i don't know about, just offer the f*cking information and move on...

Comments were indeed stupid. The forementioned site is a good start for a
beginner. Easy and will get him ready for this forum. Let that site take the burden of rooting because this site can be overwhelming with too many opinions and choices and advices. oh... and menacing dickheads.
Yeah, I have to agree. Theunlockr helped my with its step-to-step tutorial to get the recovery img onto my magic - I found also several guides in the forum as well as I consulted the wiki, but the guide there (with video) is even understood by an idiot
Search, Google, Try if you're 99.99% sure of what you're doing. And have fun

are you serious?
Ok, I would have posted the unlockr also just because I was a noob just like the OP and any forum post where confusing. And the unlockr has hands on videos that tell you step by step. Who cares what site someone uses, and why would someone want to use XDA with members like you.
cause i try and help people here if you check my posts not direct them elsewhere
just looking after this place cause people can't read the rules on xda
thanks for the site buddy. and way to go looking out for noobs! ... and the other dude against advertising... this site is free isn't it? you dont have to pay to be a member or anything, so directing noobs to other sorces of info wont cost u a dime.
You can donate to the rom devs sure, but dont think they dont post their roms on other forums...
and btw, the unlockr really helpd!
and i speak from exp, when i say that the some of the high ranking members of xda tend to divert u off into another web of confusion rather than just help you.
saw it on the universal forum, saw it on the x1 forum. and here we are again! but its cool,,, its better than no help so i am greateful!

The Rom that i would like to learn to port is the Rom from Neobuddy, which is an ICS port to the vibrant! Can I get a Dev, or two or three to help me to learn to do this please? (RaverX3X, Whitehawkx, Krylon.......The Super Devs! lol)

They're not going to use their time to teach you how to port if you don't already know the basics, they're all working on their own projects. My advice would be to learn how to do it yourself using Google. There are plenty of ROM porting guides out there, but porting ICS to this phone might be a little out of your league for now.
Wouldnt it be easier to port from an epic 4g aswell ?? i think its a more similar phone id start by just looking at any piece of info on porting thats out there
Check out this link and google the hell out of porting and find many guides like this one.. This one is well written from what i have read. http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/porting-android

This will help you with porting a vibrant ROM to the SGS4G, but I don't think it will be useful for ICS. From what I have read, we don't have a true ICS ROM (support) yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099454&highlight=porting
Does the epic 4g have the 16gb internel sdcard like Cappy and Vibrant? Or is it formatted like the SGS4G and use the externel sdcard?
Im pretty sure its the closest thing to a SGS4g right now.. also for porting vibrant this was posted in our forums a long long time ago.. i don't think anyone has successfully used it yet.

Im checking it out now seeing how it works. Ill keep ya updated if anything cool happens lol.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
First off please don't flame me, I've been on XDA for years an am by far not new to this. I know the procedures and I DID search and try to find these answers but am still a little confused so I would appreciate some help and I'd be very grateful please . I finally talked my buddy into getting an android phone and dropping iOS so he has the sensation and decided he wants to root and install custom Roms so I'm going to do so for him. He's on stock ICS and all the stickie threads for rooting I seen for the most part were last edited or not posted on since before the ICS update. I seen about the tool kit but just want to double check so I don't brick my buddies phone, could someone just link me to the newest method to root and flash recovery for flashing Roms for a phone on stock ICS? Once again my apologies as I know these noobie questions are annoying but my searching didn't help me . Thanks all!

The reason I'm posting is because its so complicated on HTC phones, Samsung is easy lol but I read the thread about how to do things but there's a million different things it talks about. It talks about s off and adb and all that, there doesn't seem to be a good guide in everything to do just to root and be able to flash custom Roms from straight stock from step one. Help please friend may be willing to donate after all said and done.

Hi,
Please check the ☺ A great starting point for all new Sensation owners ☺ link in my signature.
It has all the latest links to the threads you want.
Hello,
I am new to programming for android, but I am a programmer by trade so I have a basic knowledge of programming and code.
I was wondering if there are any guides / help / tutorials for creating custom roms? I am not looking for someone to post everything and do the work for me, but I would appreciate any help that someone could give me. Even if you can just point me in a good direction I would really appreciate it.
I have a simple guide in my signature titled noobs guide to theming and porting ROMs.

To start, you do what OEMS do also. Download source from Google, then tweak the living hell outta it.
You know how to read code? Start changing it around and seeing what happens. Then build off it. Compile and learn from the errors it craps out. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hey man since i'm basically in the same boat here's what i've been doing after you compile the google one from source then compile the S3 one and look over them then find out how to make it odinable/ cwm flashable just for starters.
