Welcome to galaxy 3 -- Read me first/ FAQ/ New User Guide/ General Help

GALAXY 3 (I5800/I5801) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION, TROUBLESHOOTING, GENERAL HELP !!!
IF YOU ARE NEW TO XDA AND/OR TO THE DEVICE, OR NEED A GOOD PLACE TO START OFF WITH, OR WANT TO KNOW ABOUT SOME REALLY BASIC STUFF RELATED TO THE DEVICE, YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING POST(S). OTHERWISE, ASKING FOR HELP IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER SUB-FORA, WILL ONLY MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AT YOU. MUST READ ON !!!
So, recently there has really been lots of mess created over the XDA forums due to careless behaviour of some newbies and disregarding of the rules and guidelines by many. So, as a part of the initaitive by the moderators, and contributors, this thread is being published.
FIRST THING FIRST, THIS IS ONLY FOR GALAXY 3 (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GALAXY S3)!!
ANY OF THE STEPS FROM THE LINKED GUIDES/FORA, IF NOT FOLLOWED CORRECTLY MAY HARM/DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE, FOR WHICH THE XDA/DEVS/MEMBERS ARE NOT RESBONSIBLE IN ANY WAY.

4th post -- Important Links
Guidelines
Some general guidelines (not rulles!) to follow -
1. Dont post in the wrong forum. Any development thread goes to development section. Any stuff related to themes, apps, games, shares general mods etc, go to themes and apps section. Any query, obviously, shall go to q&a section. Rest go to general.
2. Searching is key to a happy life on XDA . Never post without searching. If you are sure that what you want is not there on WHOLE of XDA, then post it.
3. Refrain from making posts like "thank you dev/ great work man/ thank you/ good luck/ best wishes" in development threads. Keep the development threads as clean as possible.
4. Questions will not be entertained in the development thread.
5. ETA (Estimated time of arrival) will not be entertained in any development thread. Asking again and again will not make it better, but may make it worse.
6. If you post in threads without following the above guidelines, you are actually putting yourself and others in trouble.
7. Use the
Thanks button to thank the dev/member, dont write it as a post.
SOME BASIC STUFF RELATED TO GALAXY 3, WORTH KNOWING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE !!
ROOTING -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITION - Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.
As Android was derived from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OSX.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCESS - Android 2.1 (Eclair) - Use the app Z4Root from market
Android 2.2 (Froyo) - Link
Android 2.3/4.0/4.1/++ (Gingerbread/Ice cream sandwich/Jelly Bean) - No need, if you are on one of these, you are already rooted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT WHY TO ROOT ?? - Link
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING -
1. STOCK ROMS can only be flashed via ODIN. For a guide on how to use ODING, head HERE
LINK : TO GUIDE ON HOW TO USE ODIN FOR FLASHING STOCK/CUSTOM ROMS/KERNELS !
2. CUSTOM ROMS can be flashed either via ODIN or via CWM Recovery (Once you have it - see 2nd post) depending on the type of the file provided by the dev. .tar files need ODIN. update.zip files can be flashed via CWM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCK AND CUSTOM ROMS -
For any stock ROM (2.1/2.2) go to LINK
For a comprehensive list of all available custom ROMs and Kernels head here.

Hi there
The first thing you have to do before even start to look at how you want your mobile to look like is to Root it. By Rooting it you'll open up heaven's gate's in the Android world such as installing custom Roms, top notch apps, control your mobile and not your mobile control you, etc.
You really want to have a look at this link especially at what MoH21 comments and teaches for he is showing you how to Root your mobile. I cannot stress enough for you to read and read and read very well until you're sure of what you're doing.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727636
After that you can then start looking for proper custom Roms for your mobile and do the next steps like *Bootloader Unlock *CWM Install
...all of them are important and sometimes depending on which method of Root you choose (or have available really) the CWM comes included...
TIP: search in the Forum for a method to see if your Bootloader is locked or unlocked as that's crucial to know.
*for you to Google search.
Don't forget to thank me and MoH21 also for his tutorial

Dude, first understand that the procedure to cook a ROM is same for all mobile brands having android (maybe except HTC)....what matters, is the processor and RAM of the phone....You can take any custom or stock ROM of the phone having same specs as a base and modify it to cook your ROM.....in short, mobile brand name doesn't matter....
1st link contains tutorial about using android kitchen and other tools to cook a ROM.....the heading clearly says "[UltimateGUIDE][How-to]Create your Own Custom ROM an easy way|Android Secrets -_-"
There is no brand name written, like samsung or sony even in the tutorial.....AND XR650 ROM is cooked by using this same guide.....you can check the thread 1st page to confirm....
sorry, i posted same link for 2nd & 3rd by mistake......that link contains LIST of various tutorials like flashing a rom, porting other roms (like PA, CM, SENSE, etc).....it also contains tutorials on compiling, decompiling, modifying APKs, boot animations, and LOT MORE.....
And here is 3rd link......this also contains LIST of various tutorials.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721539
please check all these 3 links once again.....
Thanks friend

There's nothing really special what are the needed hacks/modifications
in order to have a really cool hacked Android device/phone but here it is:
Custom recovery to flash the needed components/hacks for your phone.
Needs to be rooted to take full control of your Android device.
Nice customizable custom ROM flashed into your device instead of a bloated boring stock one.

Plus, take the risk of it if you are willing to modify your device.
Precautionary Measures:​ Before making a modifications to your device, make sure to do following:
Backup first your files especially the internal storage to ensure that the files are safe.
Check first your device if there are no problems
That's all!​
