[Q] Root/Flash/Voodoo Help SGS I9000 (XWJVN)

Hello xda peeps,
This is my first post on the site so here's to hoping I don't break any rules .
I have recently upgraded to firmware 2.3.3 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with above mentioned Kernel - XWJVN. I know there is a related post in the development section but I am yet to find a simplistic explanation of:
1. How I would firstly root the phone to access superuser rights.
2. What the most useful changes would be to make to my phone once it is rooted, considering I am still relatively noob.
3. Pretty much anything else I would need to know, ie. basic explanations of rooting, roms, flashing etc.
I apologise in advance if aforementioned have been answered to suit a newbie such as myself but I was not able to locate them anywhere on the site.
Any help would be apprecaited peeps.
Thanks
Aurnen

Unfortunately you're in the wrong section Post it in the i9000 section next time
For question1: search "CF-ROOT", there are much more information in the thread.
For question2&3: download "Root and me" from the market.
For your information, and in case that you have other device(s), almost every device have their own section in this forum.

Video Tutorials for Newbies

I own a Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and have been following the CM9 and CM10 forums lately. Instead of asking numerous how-to noob questions, one fine day I decided to go through all the pages of CM9/CM10 to get a better understanding of how its done. After reading all the pages (yes, all pages) I decided to give it a try on my phone, and was successful at flashing the desired ROM.
After going through the entire thread, I realized, there are more number of noob questions than helpful posts that add to the value of xda-developers. While I understand that there are a lot of new members who're excited to flash their devices and ask a lot of questions that sound like noobs, it decreases the value of content at xda developers. I would hereby like to add value to this great forum by helping new members get a better understanding at flashing a new rom in a step by step video tutorial process.
I have made a few video guides on 'Custom ROM reviews' and 'How to install a custom ROM onto i9003' on my Youtube channel, the links to which are below. If you think this will help reduce a lot of repeat questions, please thumbs up this video and help spread it to newbies. If the response is good, you never know the Mods may make it sticky for the betterment of all members.
Precautions:
1. These tutorials are for Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 only, please don't use these files for any other device.
2. Make sure your battery is fully charged.
3. Take a full backup of your phone. You may loose all data otherwise.
4. Enable USB Debugging on your phone. (Settings--Applications--Development--Check USB Debugging)[/SIZE][/COLOR][/COLOR]
Credit to all the developers and users of xda developers.
I will continue to make and add more videos to this thread, ranging from basics to tricky ones. Here's a request to all members to direct noob members to this thread to avoid repeat questions.
Thank you!

[Completed] AOSP based rom compiling for specific devices

I am basically a noob when it comes to building/compiling. I basically want to know if it would be possible to create an OS for my phone based on AOSP without too much work.
Total noob idea; maybe combining a zip from a custom rom/ normal firmware, and the AOSP code?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and since you forgot to mention which device you have in mind, I can't point you towards a device-specific area. That said, there are some thread such as the one at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483143 that night be good starting places for your quest, as well as several articles in our "XDA University" at http://xda-university.com such as the guide at http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-aosp-roms-using-source-code. Not all data there is always up-to-date but it covers a wealth of information in one convenient place.
Good luck!

Sorry, I was thinking of doing so for my Samsung galaxy xcover 2
I was also considering creating a rom based on the source code if this sould help in directing me?

Hello again.
There is no forum specifically for the Samsung Galaxy XCover 2 GT S 7710 at this time but if the links provided earlier are not sufficient, you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. Since your device is relatively uncommon, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond.
Once again, good luck!
