[Q] Rooted, what's next?

I've been browsing the xda-devs forum and been Googling quite a lot about rooting, and recently just took the plunge to root my Wildfire with Unrevoked.
Now that I've rooted, what can I do next? I've been through quite a bit, and I don't see any topic that lists out some examples for us root newbs to get started with.
I've been playing with Apple devices quite a lot, and I have the first gen iPod Touch which I have been active in jailbreaking and modding, but semi-retired ever since I got my HTC.
Would appreciate guidance from fellow forum members. Thanks. A list of things we can do with a rooted phone and guides on how to do it would be awesome.

First on behalf on everybody on XDA let me give u a big welcome . As to your question, there is a lot you can do with your newly rooted phone. You can find all you need here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=678 Hope you will find this link very handy.
PS: I used to have an iphone 3g also, i jail break it and unlocked it. But now i have a HD2 running android.

Thanks for the prompt reply mate. I've skimmed through those forums, but I can see that most of the topics are questions about this and that instead of 'guide' forums... so I thought it'd do us all good if somebody compiled a list of things we could do after our phone is rooted.
Sounds nifty, no?

ICS for Galaxy S 4G?

Hi guys is there any chance this would happen? I know that the Galaxy S 4G has everything to support this. So anyone willing to develop a port. The S2 has already a working one so why not galaxy s 4g?
Thanks

I sometimes think that this is done on purpose. :/

If this isn't a dev posting a working and bootable ICS for SGS4G then does this topic belong here? This been posted about a billion times in the right section of the SGS4G forum mind you. Use search function, post in old decrepit post about ICS, but please don't hog up the development section with this garbage. Important stuff belongs here like the roms that the devs here work so hard on only to be under appreciated by a bunch of sniveling children who didn't get their beloved CM7. Yes ICS got unwittingly dropped by the ever so greedy and scrooge like Samsung, who against Google's Open Handset Alliance, which promises a device would be supported for 18 months, has decided they are going to drop all galaxy devices period rather than provide official ICS. If you'd really like ICS then you'd best start donating. Money is tight for me right now but I know when my cash flow picks up my green backs are going to start moving in this direction.

You know what I've come to understand? A new user won't know how the regular users will want the forum to run. I made the same mistake myself and had a few threads moved out of the dev section. It's a dev question, so it could properly fit in the dev board.
You're just bumping the thread needlessly. Next time do what I did and just post a link to where the topic was discussed instead of ranting about how it's in the wrong section. Just report the thread and have one of the mods move it. It's much easier than having to take time out of your day to type up a long post talking about how pissed off you are about it.
Merry xmas everyone!

ICs for Atrix 2 ???!!! ????? when it is supposed to be cancelled ? (I've an ATRIX 4G)

Hi Everyone,
Have you seen this via the Motorola SEA facebook page ?
facebook com / MotorolaSEA
An OTA upgrade is now running for the Atrix 2G to get ICS.
I'm user of the Atrix 4G and I know that the hardware is kindly similar (except the CPU which is for the Atrix 2 and OMAP and the ATRIX 4G a NVidia) ...
Maybe can you check what can be done based on this ROM ? (I don't know if this can help but maybe you will be able to find some interesting things ...)
I can't provide you this ROM as I'm from Europe and I'm using the Atrix 4G
With Kind Regards,

Oh god..
How can be similiar if they have a completely different hardware?
The only thing that they have similiar is the name.
Please,you are on XDA,don't think to be useful if you are a noob.

Completely different hardware and this has been covered before.
Just because it has the name "Atrix" (2) doesn't mean you can get ICS out of that and throw it on the original Atrix...

Cloudus91 I don't know who you are and that's not for me the best way to answer someone by insulting people.
Your answer was correct until the moment you use the term noob.
You should take into acount that in my job i'm not a noob at all.
So ... next to the fact that the hardware is completely different, the purpose of this message was also to understand how is it possible that Motorola has announced no ICS for the Atrix 2 and in the fact there's an OTA available.
Also I'm in the general section for the Motorola Atrix where it is supposed to be a good place to ask something to everyone.
Please also note that I have maybe add my question too fast because (and I admit) I didn't check completely the product specifications of each devices. (My fault regarding that point)
If I was someone thinnking like you , I can easilly say that all persons that have briked their phone are Noob ? Stupid ? I've never breaked a phone since I'm installing rom, customization and I'm doing that since the first time a Windows Mobile phone has been out ! So I don't think I can be consider as a noob .(<--- Please be sure that I'm not considering a person who has break his phone as a noob --> it is just an example)
Conclusion:
You're probably not a Noob in your job, passion .... but in answering people I guess you're a real one.
Anyway thank you for the information.
Kind regards,

Sorry but the good place to ask something is the Q&A section...
And the atrix2 update its not canceled...so...I do t see how this post its usefull...
from the (m)ATRIX...

If you checked the ICS schedule, the Atrix 2 is still on track for an ICS release. Furthermore, the Southeast Asian update was seeded even before the updated schedule was posted online.

Man don't sweat this. There should be a sticky/video for anyone entering the Atrix 4g forums that explains the need for a really thick skin before posting anything.
I participate in more than a few XDA forums, and as far as I can tell. This one is the most passionate (read; intolerant) of them all.
Hopefully you can still find a way to enjoy the site. Not everyone feels the need to be abusive. And there's more than a few great resources here. It is worth sticking around.
Welcome and enjoy.

Yeah, people were a lot more polite most of the time in both the g1 and desire z forums. I always get a chuckle at how many people want to report an close threads on the atrix forums.
The Internet is a funny place.

[Q] Thinking of buying the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2

Hello,
My HTC HD2 is letting me down at a lot of points. Therefore I'm thinking of buying a new handset.
I do a lot of internetting and multitasking on my phone. Therefore a dual-core processor is a must for me.
I've read up reviews of the handset and it seems to perform quite well.
What do you guys think, should I go for it or shouldn't I?
Also, if I don't like TouchWiz, is there a possibility to installing MIUI on it? I have that on my HTC HD2 right now and I love it.
Thanks!

Hey,
This should be in teh Samsung Galaxy Ace forum. That way, you will get advice from previous owners.
Alternatively, you could put it in the Device suggestions list written by KC.
You could PM a mod and he will help you with moving it.
Just some advice to get you going.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for my late reply.
Got a HTC One S instead as you can see below, love it!
This topic can be solved/closed if it were me

Please use the sticky in this section for all phone decision questions. Thread closed.

Big thank you XDA & members!!

I thought about this today.
personally I am an IT worker so I normally get a lot of friends \ family asking me to fix stuff for them.
With Android however & this forum - its taken it to a new high.
Because of this great place I have learnt a ton and also helped out a lot of people with phones and tabs.
SGS i9000, GT-P1000, SGS 2, Droid Razr, Motorola Xooms, SGS3, Acer tabs... just to name a few.
In fact these days when I am asked about phones, I don't recommend them unless this forum and its members are behind it.
I found it also helps to make devices easier to use, case in point my father can work a droid phone or tab no prob's, but he'd throw an ipad\phone before working it out.
So on behalf of all those I have helped and have no idea about it all and from myself.
THANK YOU XDA, Develpoers & Members!!!!!
