[Q] How can i get apps :(

I have no android market on my phone and No one wants to help me get it on my mobile iam tottaly depressed and disappointed for buying such expensive mobile with no android market , i can't access samsung apps either, neither android market , i need serious help i want to pimp my mobile :S:S:S:S any one is willing to help me please go ahead and leave a reply , thanks in advance

Find your phone in the forum, find a post for a custom rom or check for a cyanogenmod rom (try cyanogenmod.com) and look for the gapps zip file. Unzip it, find the market app, put it on your sdcard and install it. Simple as that.

not really experienced
As iam a new user to Android/smartphones i have no idea about what is ROM :$ :$
when i search the forums for ROM , i find froyo and some related stuff, tho i have no idea to install it.
any further assistance would be really nice

You could start by telling us some information.
Device, carrier, your location (country), and where you got device since it doesn't have market already on it.
good day.

@ chopper thank u for replying , well
i Live in Egypt , i bought the unlocked version of samsung galaxy S , probably it's an middle east version but it looks exactly like the europian with the googleTM on the back and Samsung logo
first of all. i use Vodafone network
2nd. about the phone
Model Number GT-i9000
Frimware Version 2.1-update1
basband version: I9000JXJG2
Kernal version: 2.6.29 ( [email protected]#2)
Build Number : ECLAIR JPJG8
what else do you need me to do ?
NOTE: the Galaxy S is not yet officially released here , i guess maybe they flashed my mobile with an middle east Rom to support arabic ( which is not really important to me )

First get "Astro" (file manager) on your device. And a killer thread is HERE. You can copy apk's to card and install with astro. Good luck.
good day.

i will do it right now , but does this means i will be able to download / install / use the android market ?

Just stumbled upon this thread HERE. Looks like what you need. Get to know the XDA search function and there is a i9000 specific forum as well.
good day.

i will install it tomorrow and let you know of the results , Good night
Thanks and have a good day
stay tuned

[Q] Best way to root Liquid Mini

Hi. I'm new in hacking devices. My phone is an Acer Liquid Mini with Android 2.2 Froyo and I have some questions:
1. What is the best way to root my device?
2. What is the best ROM that I can find? I want one that can ugrade the OS to 2.3. There is an official update, already?
If it is possible, provide me links with the best tutorials to do that.
3. If something goes wrong, it is reversible?
Thanks for all the answers and sorry about my english.

Got all your answers!

Hey,
1. The best way would be to use "Super One Click". If you want to know the version I used 1.7 for my liquid mini.
2. Yes there was an official upgrade in October I think. I just got it updated an hour ago and I am on top of the world feels like the first time I got this phone, it looks totally new and no acer UI (thank god) but the new UI in place of the old one looks really awesome. Worth the upgrade. Just go to System>Update phone; and make sure you have atleast 410mb free on your SD.It gets upgraded to 2.3.5.
3. While rooting it won't screw up, it never does. (very rarely unless you act smart and remove your battery during the process) Its very safe nowadays to root.
Hope that helped.

[Q] New Android Noob

Hey guys,
I just purchased a used Asus Transformer off of Ebay and it has arrived yesterday. I'm pretty much an Android noob but to my understanding the Asus has already been Rooted. From the description given on Ebay the device seems to have a Rom called Android Revolution HD (or something) What I want to know is how can I tell if my device has this Rom installed since it looks exactly like the Asus stock firmware? (Just in case this version is outdated or I want to change to a new Rom) I also see that this device also has a custom kernel ([email protected]) My question is, is it possible to return to the stock kernel of Honeycomb? Or is there any recommended kernels out there? Is it possible to flash a new kernel without affecting the Rom or Root? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for helping a noob out!

Did you buy it from someone else?
Wolfbreaks ROM with DoomLord Kernel = Awesome =)

Yeah I purchased off of someone else on Ebay. I did ask him to unroot and restore to factory settings which i thought he did since I'm not too familiar with Android. However after some reading last night I found out that the device was still rooted since it had the app Superuser. That's why i want to know how can i tell if the device is still running the Android Revolution HD Rom or not. Since I don't know if he removed it or not.

You can identify it at about phone or phones detail.. Theres a build number that state your rom

Oh so the build number will indicate if it's a custom Rom or not?

Depends.. Usually itstated what rom you use..

Hello everyone, I'm not sure about which section to post this but, I have read the threads about rooting and going down the ''proper channel'' to root, SE says, if my Bootloader unlock allowed says 'NO', rooting can't be done. I just bought an Xperia Play800i and it says NO.
Is there any way to root it? Also, what is recommended first in your opinion > 1.(Unlock,Root,Flash) or 2.(Unlock,Flash,Root) or 3.(Root,Unlock,Flash).
Many thanks in advance.

hope this helps..

sorry but in Samsung galaxy plus (i9001) where i can look to see that effectively is my custom rom installed?

Try going into settings and looking at device info. It may have what rom it is running in there. If not, I am not sure where else you could find that out.

[Completed] blu studio c super camera flashing and rooted questions

I got this phone, I used kingoroot to delete the bloatware. The build version is D870U_V10.
A few questions:
1. I accidentally deleted the calendar scheduler so I can't use the any calendar and re downloading doesn't work. How do I get it back?
2. I want to flash the new Android Nougat, or at least Marshmallow for now. (I never flashed a ROM before) Is there a version out there for my specific phone? Are ROMs model specific? Same with Kernels?
3. It seems custom recoverys are model specific as I can't find one for my phone. Is this the case and I just am out of luck or is there something I can do?
4. Also, I want to get the stock camera back. How do I find it? It is nowhere on the app store. The stock camera had the fastest shutter speed I ever seen, like an iPhone. So I want it back! haha
I am using kingoroot because it seems that is the only way to root my phone. I just want to make my phone faster and use less space as the BLU super camera doesn't have a super amount of RAM or space...

Is there a custom rom for Orange Roya? (Alcatel Pop 2)

So recently I found an old Orange Roya in my drawer and thought that it's not that bad of a phone and maybe I could revived with a custom ROM as now it's running Kitkat (4.4.4). Now I've never flashed a custom ROM on my phone and I don't know much about that kind of stuff but I saw a video by Budget Builds where he managed to get Android 10 on a Samsung S2 so I thought as my phone has similar specs maybe a could do the same. So I searched far and wide and actually found an XDA thread about a custom ROM for my phone but than there are no instructions whatsoever in there, only a couple of dead links (Here it is, if that helps with anything: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tel-pop2-ot-5042x-root-recovery-roms.3224875/ ). Besides that there was nothing at all in terms of any kind of ROM for this phone not only for android 10 but for any android it just seems that it's such a niche device that no one cares for it. So is that it? Is it just stuck running an ancient version of android basically acting as e-waste or is there anything I can do still to make it useful?
(Sorry for my English and lack of knowledge in terms of any of this but I really hope that something can be done to revive that phone.)
