[Q] Android Starter?

Hi everyone i got a few questions on Android terms:
I google much and i know what ROMS and rooting are but still,
1. What is KE7 that everyone keeps talking about? is it a ROM?
2. What is the stock ROM for a Galaxy SII ?
3. Is a customized ROM such as cm7 usually gonna change the whole user interface? or just modifiy the original UI?
If so, wouldnt a launcher such as ADW launcher be unnecessary as it already has modified your UI?
4. What is a kernal?
Thanks a lot guys

Also....what is KF1/KF2 ?
please help

they are the firmwares that samsung release which other roms are based on.

3. A complete ROM will always bring along a new interface, which might be the same one you have actually using, but could also be a completely different one.
4. You mean kernel?
Its the system core.

Yes, I totally agree! Did you find a solution already,?
I tried the same as you and didn't succeed either.
I also like the Miui contact app. Would be great if some Miui developer could help us out.

[Q] Rooting & MIUI Rom on Galaxy Tab 7" (original)?

Hi, hope someone can help me, please.
I have a Galaxy Tab P1000. It was with Froyo 2.2 and had MIUI Rom installed. It was also rooted with SuperUser.
I have now upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.
Questions:
1. Is it still using MIUI Rom, or the default Rom? If not, HOW and where can I see this to delete it? If it is using it, how do I know? Sorry, not "up" on these things.
2. Is the GT still rooted? There's the SuperUser app still but if it's not rooted now, I can delete that app, right? Do I need to root it again for Gingerbread?
I would like to install one of the GO Launcher themes but first, it's best I get the above questions answered.
I don't even know if I'm seeing the "best" of what Gingerbread has to offer. Maybe it is still using MIUI and that's why it looks the same as before...?
Hope you can help. Many thanks for any advice and help!! :S

[Q] shall i root my Galaxy s Plus (i9001)????

Hello, im not into rooting, kernel and flash and stuff??
But i want to get better performence and TouchWiz 4.0 on my Samsung. So can u guys tell me what rooting really is? im a noob. And what i should use on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus if rootinh. And maybe how to get Touchwiz 4.0 instead of TouchWiz 3.0.
-Thanks guys

What is root
With root you have full acccess to the system.
You can modify the the hardware settings.
For get Touchwiz 4 you must install the touchwiz 4 manager:

My opinion:
When you have root you should install a recovery (CWM - Clockworkmod) ,
and flash a custom rom, because the stock rom (from the manufactur) is very buggy...
Press thanks

Hello, I'm some what experienced at flashing. Ya first u want to get root then you need a recovery installed such as clockwork mod. And a custom rom with the launcher you want would be ideal. Its not so much that the manufacturer's default software is bad. It just hinders u sometimes. ^_^

Idea for porting the TW keyboard

Hi
I'm totally newbie in mobile dev, but as I have a need, I will try to soluce it by myself.
Indeed I need your help ...
Context:
At first I was using Samsung Touchwiz stock ROM on my GN2, and falled in love with its spen keyboard...
Now I'm using the ProBAM ROM, and I did not find any equivalent handwriting keyboard as efficient as the TW spen keyboard.
Until the stock ROM file is download on my computer and before I start to do it, could you tell me your fealing regarding my idea ?
Do you think it is possible to make the following actions:
=> copy touchwiz framework files from the stock rom 4.1.2 to ProBAM as explained here
=> copy the touchwiz samsung keyboard file from the stock 4.1.2 rom to the "system" folders of ProBAM
=> install the touchwiz keyboard (?)
Thanks
Nico

having the TW keyboard on a AOSP rom would be the best

ok, I loose... black screen after the start of the device...boot anim and BLACK SCREEN ... gave over... try again... but not today

The keyboard must be ported to aosp base. Also needs to be modified for multi dpi.

As I'm a newbie in ROM modifications, would they be some tutos for porting apps ?
FYI, the black screen is due to the fact I checked "no animation at startup", so I think I encounted a bootloop
