Android education thread!! - Android General

Hi Y'all folks!
DroidModder here. I wanted to make this thread as basically a neutral ground for all Android Noobs, or veterans to ask and reply to different questions regarding the Android OS. I saw that there are similar threads already that pertain to devices exclusively..But my thread is different, this thread is for any device, universal.
I hope people can ask and reply to questions. I made this for all those Android Noobs out there who need a spot to just come and ask a question about their device, or any Android related question, and getting a clear answer. The way I look at it is that there is no such thing as a stupid question! Ask anything you may need clarification on or if you need assistance in rooting a device, or if you dont know what a term means.. like ADB, or what a Bootloader is....stuff like that! So i am gonna stop ranting on about this thread...
OFFICIAL RULES OF THIS THREAD:
1) All questions must pertain to Android, in some way,shape, or form
2) No negative questions. Any unrelated questions will be ignored
3) Be good to the Mods, they have power over all of us
4) Try to make this thread a good thing and a good initiative by posting good questions and replying with meaningful answers.
5) Please do not troll or flame the new Junior Members or Noobs. We were all Android Noobs once.
6) HAVE FUN!

If you are unable to figure out that [Q]'s belong in the Q&A section then there is very little chance you will manage to hack your device without running into trouble....

I'm pretty sure CM9 nightlies are only for the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S for now. ICS on the G2x isn't stable enough to be a nightly, thus there's none for the P999 as of now.
If they move it, it wont do much good. You wont be able to post in it. If you didn't read the stickied all caps post at the top of the forum: "[REF] SEARCH BEFORE POSTING Non-Development Related Threads Will GET YOU BANNED!!!!"

They don't do expirementals in ROM manager, just nightlies and full builds. Unless there's a new RC then don't even mess with experimentals, if you really want you can download from your phones browser.
Hope you don't get banned for posting a non-development related thread in the developers forum.

Just download it from the site. I don't see why you would want experimental builds anyways, they're outdated right now, the last RC was released in June of 2011. Just flash nightlies.
OK thanks guys for your input!
And thanks the mod that he leaves the thread on here! My englisch is not so good, what I'm missing in the rom_manager are the nightlies from cyanogen! That was my question

You are quite lucky there is one in development or else you'd have been flamed.
If you read, this phone is not the galaxy s i9000. Or the vibrant(T959). This is the T959"V". Every phone has its own development. galaxy s doesn't mean galaxy s 4g.
That's calling the motorola droid and the droid x the same thing. They are 2 very phones.

Then you are going to have to go with one of our custom ROM's. You can follow one of the first two links in my signature. Whichever better suits your phone situation.
Custom ROM's are in the Development SubForum.

I seem to have the same problem with you now airfluip1.
You asked me for a build of CM7 and I sent it your way...
Yet you do not have the decency to return my pm's asking if you got it or even say thanks... This is what turns people off to you....
As far as I am concerned now, Please do not ask me for any of my work...

I too am confused as to why the thread was closed -- the main one wasn't about rooting, it was a general discussion of the official 4.4 rom for the N8000
Ok so my question
Have any omnirom users tried it?
I've been running omnirom on mN8010 since around February - it's been nice to be up to 4.4, but I'm intrigued as to how the official rom is working/performing -- I've had some lags on omnirom though it's generally been reliable
Confused Long Time xda user
Every thread pertaining Kitkat was shut down. even the When will the 8013 get 4.3 thread .. Saying no need for the thread as the official release has been pushed.. I am assuming he Does NOT !!! Have a note 10.1 device or did not read just decided to close all kitkat related threads.
Guess Kit Kat discussion for any note 10.1 other then then n8000 is Disallowed on this Forum.

It is great that that other thread was activated, but that does not work for us that are waiting for and then playing with the non rooted 4.4. Can we get the "when will ..." thread activated?
Actually, as I think about it and seeing the post on the 8020 activating this thread is not needed really and we just have to wait. Lets hope the n8013 is around the corner so to speak.
