In an attempt to not step on the lawn, I am going to try and make my first post useful to other noobs, regardless of my own ability level.
I see that others have made a "my first phone" thread in other sections using search, and I did not notice one in this forum yet. I don't know if this post will make it past muster or not, or if it will be the same as other kinds of posts, but the way I see it, it would be rad if I came to xda/htc/attonex and found a post identical to this one, that had started a couple months ago. Alas, time travel isn't available.
My problem is that I am literally experiencing this phone as my first smartphone ever, and I am too ignorant to even know what a good question is. So I find myself with a quandary. On the one hand, I am tech savvy enough to know that my phone is capable of more than at&t/htc wants to let on, and I know that there is this sea of people that know a lot about this stuff. On the other hand, I don't even know what phones can really do, why I would want it to do those things, or how to go about learning the smart and safe way to do those things without fear of "bricking" my new toy.
It's really daunting to look at this forum for a noob. I need some good info on android as well as good info on my phone, and just browsing the forum for the last few days has led me to more questions and more complex questions before I have the basics, and I feel like that's going to get me in trouble here.
If people could do the following in response to this post: point me in the right direction for informative posts/websites/forums/etc on android, specifically basic OS functionality & rooting basics for people who do not understand/use linux; point me to informative beginner oriented (not just reviews or w/e, but basics) posts/websites/forums/etc on the at&t1x, specifically anything that is not on the htc site or the at&t site, which is basically my understanding level right now; if i ask stupid questions about your thought-out posts in here and i totally miss your point, please be patient with me; point me to apps and app stores, I have only used the play store - I know there is more out there, but freaked out about viruses and stuff.
I know I'm asking for a lot of hand-holding, but I promise that after the movie we can make out if you want. I'm not stupid, but I am certainly ignorant about androids. HALP.
YouTube is you friend, there are some great walkthroughs on there. Along with read,read,read. Welcome to XDA, ENJOY your time here, you are off to a very advanced start, great phone choice along with grea first post...the force is strong with this one:thumbup:

I don't think he meant basic words. But stuff like adb shell. Asop. Root. S off. S on. Just to name a few. If you don't know this basic words, your time here will be a pain.

You're still missing bradleyG's original point. If there are esoteric terms you don't understand, just Google them. This will help you out:
http://bit.ly/KSfCM7
Boom. That was easy.
Seriously, Google is your friend, as is the XDA search. You're not going to think of a question that hasn't already been answered at length on XDA. Maybe not for the One X, specifically, since the device is so new. But for general Android stuff, just doing a general search using the XDA function, of Googling will probably get you an answer within a few minutes. For that matter, just spend some time browsing through the General, and Q&A forums, and reading the threads that look of interest to you. In no time at all, you'll have some decent working knowledge. The learning curve may look intimidating from where you are. But don't worry, its really not that bad. Seriously, just a few hours of reading on XDA will probably put above the knowledge level of the majority of smartphone owners.
If you are truly stumped after searching and reading on your own, post a question in Q&A. But do your due diligence first. Simple reason for this is that the forum would become useless if it was clogged up by every single question that beginners think up.
And welcome to the club. The One X is a helluva first smartphone.

Ai ai ai. Thanks for the help dude, but my whole point is that I don't even know enough to know what kinds of questions I should be having. Once I get started, I can use forum searches and google well, so for specific questions I will need very little help. I'm just not coming up with any questions.
Picture me sitting there, staring at the phone, hoping it will do something, looking puzzled when it doesn't, and then start posting links.
I see what you're saying. What you are asking for is really too broad a topic to write a guide or anything like that. As a start, just try looking through the threads in the various forums. Development subforum has mods (modifications) and stuff along those lines. The Themes and Apps subforum will give you some ideas on some cool apps and widgets. You'll quickly get a good idea of what possibilities are out there. And trust me, plenty of specific questions will pop up in your mind soon enough.
Since you are brand new to the smartphone world, apps is a good place to start. Just Google around for best Android apps and see what interests you. Even the Play Store has some issues with malware and other malicious software. But these are usually less popular apps, made by shady software developers. If you read up on best apps at reputable websites like PCMag, Gizmodi, CNET, you shouldn't go wrong. The more popular, tried and true apps tend to be very safe. Lots of the best functionality of smartphones is through apps, so this is a good place to start.
My advice would be to use the device for a while, and see what it can do running stock before you think about rooting and other mods. Unless you are looking at specific mods (removing bloatware or adding back some of the things that AT&T removed like FM radio and flashlight) you probably shouldn't be considering root just yet.
Android Central is a good website with lots of information that you should find interesting if this is your first android device. They have put together a really good android dictionary which is found here: http://www.androidcentral.com/dictionary
They also run an android a to z series on their blog which has a ton of info and goes a little more in depth than just giving definitions.
Enjoy your phone, for a first smart phone you picked a serious winner! There are a few quarks (which are all outlined pretty well in this forum) but for the most part this phone is great.

Cant beat this advice. Read everything, assume your questions has already been asked. The more you read, the more questions you'll have and then the more reading you'll want to do to find the answers. This website is really a PHENOMENAL resource, but I find myself constantly googling terms/comments/procedures that I dont understand. I'm quite technologically inclined but relatively new to the android world and have only been using XDA for a couple months. However, I find myself mostly only posting on very topical threads. For the hardcore technical research and development, I prefer to sit back and just read about the amazing work that the developers are doing. Welcome!
I'll second what everyone else said. I was where you were a few months ago. Though I came from four years on iOS, I was an Android noob. I've been reading and browsing xda and other sites just trying to get my bearings. It's very intimidating at first, but you've just got to start somewhere. Start reading, trying to get the general gist of things before worrying about the exact terminology. Bit by bit things will start sounding familiar, and you'll have some context to start framing your searches. Really, they're not kidding about 99.99% of noob questions being already answered somewhere; you've just got to know the right way to ask.
Just be patient and don't give up. Three weeks into my One X ownership, I'm rooted and gradually getting some confidence in modding my phone. (I was an experienced iOS jailbreaker, but life is different over here in a lot of ways.)

This is exactly what I meant. There is no all powerful guide that will teach you everything you need to know. It takes time to learn all these things and only diligence will prove to give you what you need. I remember when I first got my g1 I didn't know anything. I started looking for mods/hacks I could do to it and stumbled upon xda. Then I found out about rooting so I looked up stuff about rooting like what are the benefits of it, the risks, and tutorials. Then one thing leads to another rooting leads to ROMs and kernels, kernels lead to overclocking, etc. You'll soon be an expert and have advice to give other people. The more you read, the better. But you will never get to a point where there is nothing new to be learned, you will eventually make a habit of looking up different things after you do it for so long. Just stick with it and you will get the hang of it.

Yes thank you for that, I know that apps are about my speed right now but my sights are set UP!! Hehe. I really was trying to figure out about the flashlight and FM radio already, but couldn't find a setting in the phone. Is that a root thing? I also hate bloat ware, even if i can disable it, i know MOG Radio & AT&T IdiotWare is there, just taking up space, and it bugs the hell out of me! I also want to do things like check out vanilla android so I can know what sense is, but i understand that requires a bootloader? Which I am reading about.. but that seems like some pretty advanced stuff.. I'll get there hopefully.

I think I may have come off more adversarial to you than I meant to.. I wasn't trying to minimize what you said.. Of course research is essential, and I plan to not bug you guys with stupid questions as much as possible.. I'm just trying to build a repository of reference for complete noobtards like me here in this thread so it's all in one place. When I have specific questions about terms and things I will of course employ due diligence before I bring that stuff to the community, but like I said, I'm not even there yet..
OK so I have a question that I tried to search for and came up with nil. Every so often, when I run this or that program, or sometimes on start up, some of my icons do one of two things: 1.) they lose the text under the icon, 2.) they lose the text under the icon and the icon turns into the generic android icon.
Wutdo?

Hi there, XDA!
I have recently received my OnePlus One, and I'm switching from Apple (iPhone 5S), which I have used many years (Apple that is), and I have always jailbroken my device, because otherwise iOS/Apple is a complete waste of money, IMO.
Anyways, I haven't used Android since HTC Hero, which I found way to slow and not very smooth, which actually lead to me choosing Apple!
Since I haven't used Android in such a long time, my expertise and research skills are unfortunately not enough to get what I want.
So, the first thing I thought of, when I got the OnePlus One, was that I had to root it, even though it comes shipped with Cyanogen mod, I love to customize my phones and "hack" them as much as I can to get the most use out of my phone.
I have installed the crDroid Rom, which I enjoy using, since it's simple and have a lot of good features. --- I would greatly appreciate any suggestions to a simple, yet functional rom for the OnePlus one though.
Alright, now for the questions;
Is there any way to make Halo work on the lockscreen?
If so, can I enable the floating-app-window function, on the lockscreen as well?
Are there any way of enabling the floating-app-window function, that Halo have - ON the lockscreen? This is so I can quickly reply from multiple apps, and not just the stock messaging app / email app. This is why I don't want Handcent SMS client etc.. <-- this is actually the most important part of my questions, so any help would be grateful! (and yes; I have been searching!)
The floating-app-window function would be great for any app in general! Like launching any app on the lockscreen/home/under any app to quickly use it, then dismiss it.
Is there any app like the Cydia app "Flex"? This is an app that can tweak other apps, by kind of "patching" them on-the-go. I know there is something called "Lucky Patcher", but this is used for piracy, afaik, and I'm not a huge fan of piracy, so this is not an option. (plus, they generally contain a lot of malware/bloatware/adware)
So, that sums up my questions for my new phone so far, thanks for reading and hopefully replying!
Cheers,
- opoBear

Asking which ROM is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest, or asking for a suggestion isn't allowed so nobody can answer that, here's why. To say one ROM is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these awesome ROMs free of charge. Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself.

No, and no. That would completely defeat the purpose of the lockscreen. If you want that kind of functionality you can disable your lockscreen.

What exactly do you mean by 'patching' other apps? That isn't very specific.
Transmitted via Bacon
I have no experience with it myself, but maybe those things can be done with xposed?
Thank you for the reply.
IMO, it wouldn't defeat the purpose of the lockscreen, at all. Especially if you could chose which apps that were floatable on the lockscreen.
As for asking which ROM, that was mainly to hear other people's opinion, no offense intended, so no need to be insanely cocky, lmfao. And AFAIK, freedom of speech still exist in the US, especially the internet
Well, if you clicked the link for the iOS tweak, you could read what I mean, instead of me posting a lot of information for one person, it's a very complex application, but it was mainly made for creating easy tweaks on the iPhone.

If you'd like, I could ask a moderator to explain to you why asking for ROM suggestions isn't allowed. There was nothing cocky about what I said, just informing you of something that's pretty common knowledge on XDA.
Freedom of speech does exist in the US. But, this is a privately owned and international forum which has rules that you must abide by (and agreed to when signing up for this site).
@Naddict, could you kindly explain the situation with asking for ROM suggestions please? I've seen you explain it quite well numerous times before.

I'm not Naddict but I see Naddict closing threads with this message,
XDA is a development site not a support site. As the term "Best" or "Most Stable" is a very subjective term, such members are expected to do their own research, read through the development threads, and decide what is "Best/Most Stable" for them.
The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be "Best" or "Most Stable" for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. And at times, these thread spiral into arguments over which is perceived "Best/Most Stable".
Please take the time to read through the development threads, and interact with the members there, to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

Even though I really didn't care why it's not "allowed" to discuss which ROM is "better", I thank you for the informative post.
I do get why, and therefore there was no need for a moderator to explain anything, but it just shows how uptight you are. Hope you have a GF to get all that seriousness out of you.

I think xposed is what you're looking for which may closely resemble Flex. Although you will have to find a module to co-exist with it to suit your needs. As far as a best rom and other stuff the above guys are right though I see a lot of subjective questions asked. I will say this much though.
Take a look at the 5 star roms first and read the OP to see if any of the customizations are what you are looking for. They all have there pros and cons its just that the for some the pros are the cons and vice versa.
Happy Hunting

Sorry, for not posting it in Help Thread. I was afraid this question might go unnoticed and lost in lots of replies.
I am using a Galaxy Note 3 N900.
My Query is,
In a ROM which is scaled to 420dpi, if I install xPosed Module 'App Settings' for per app dpi, and change dpi of few apps to 320, will it produce any form of lag in switching between apps with 420dpi and apps with 320dpi?
For Example, switching between Samsung Internet Browser (420dpi) and Whatsapp (320dpi). Right now there are no major hiccups. But, can this thing prove to be a stupidity in long run?
Main thing to keep in mind is Exynos5420 does not supports heterogenous multi processing. This may or may not affect the whole process.
Thanks, Regards and Love.

Test it out and see for yourself, asking won't help you because how your device performs depends on everything you have installed, not everyone installs the same things. How it works for someone else might not be how it works for you even if both devices are the same and using the same ROM.
No one can predict how something will perform or not, all you can do is test.

Well in that case, nobody will be able to help anyone, because everybody has different usage.
By the way, xPosed Module 'App Settings' was designed, so that people can use different apps at different dpi. I do not think I have done something unique.
Thanks for your valueable opinion.

It's not unique but the results may or may not be different than results others got, that's the point I was making. When it comes to using mods and their performance or how well things run, you can't predict what the results will be or whether there will be performance issues or not, regardless of whether someone else with the same device and same ROM used it with no issue or not, there is only try it and see because your results may be different than someone else's. And THEN if you have issues THEN someone can help you figure out why and how to fix it.
You weren't looking for "help". You were asking what the effects would be before you used it(like a noob would do) because you're afraid of messing up your device so you wanted someone to make you feel safe with the idea intend of just trying it.
"Helping" you would be assisting you get it installed and set up or helping you fix an issue after you install it, that's the kinds of things that require "help".

First of all, my dear friend, in my first post, I have not used the word 'Help' apart from mentioning the name of a thread. I hope you know there is a thread called 'Help Thread'. Writing 'Help Thread' in a statement doesn't mean I am asking for help. I simply asked a question in Q & A forum. This was indeed a question and I was only expecting a "Yes, it will affect" or "No, it will not".

As far as trying is concerned, the first post, again, has a statement:
"Right now there are no major hiccups"
This is a very generous form of english, and this indicates, "I have installed it, and I have, therefore, come to a conclusion". My question was about long term usage and I was expecting a reply from a sensible user who might have used this xPosed Mod ever.
I am surprised I am getting such a response from a recognised contributor. Your reply is so pointless (like a noob would do). Now in case you still want to reply, none of your response will be entertained. All you can now do is ask one of your moderator friends to either remove this thread or remove this account. Have a nice time.
Thanks for being so humble and kind.
When I mentioned help, I was referring to your statement about "no one would be able to help anyone then".

Hahaha. That was a generic statement my friend. XDA is a community for every kind of person, so you may and you will encounter lots of people with same or different questions or problems with, again, same or different answers or solutions. You are a recognised contributor and I am just a OP. I don't even know what it means. I should have shown some respect. I am sorry.

Learn to search before coming here to ask such a simple question that can be answered with a simple Google search for:
"Apps to uninstall apps"
There are MANY apps to do this, take your pick.
Next time SEARCH for YOURSELF

No, it's in the forum rules to search before posting.
You obviously didn't read the rules and you obviously didn't try searching first, otherwise you would have easily found the answer yourself.
I guess there is always those few out there that have to be lazy dumb asses, you must be one of them.
If you used the search terms I gave you then you would find MANY apps to do what you asked. And more than a few of them are sure to work for you.
And you can't just remove all or most of the pre-installed apps. You've got to choose carefully which ones to get rid of or you'll render your device inoperable. If you do some research on that you would learn that too.
You must be one of those that doesn't know how to search and just assumes you can do things without making sure it's safe first and then deals with their mistakes after the fact instead of being smart and learning about it first to keep those mistakes from happening.

Just curious about this since Remix OS has been discontinued and I know of no other alternative Chrome OS where Google Play Store is pre-packaged. Can anyone help?

Why does it have to be ChromeOS and does it have to have Google PlayStore prepackaged? You can flash any ROM that is available for your device and then flash a compatible Gapps package.
I fail to see the significant difference between a ROM that is prepackaged with Google PlayStore and a ROM that has to have a Gapps package flashed along with it.

I thought I was asking a normal question that any user would properly answer, but apparently not. Instead of just answering the question, you respond my asking more questions and you ask them in a way that suggests I've done something terribly wrong. Bro, you're making this more complicated than what it really is. Just answer the question. If you are not able to, then why respond at all?

I was just curious, that's all. More of a want to know your reasoning than anything else. It stands to reason that you have a specific reason or purpose behind wanting what you want. I don't know or understand your purpose so I asked what the signifigance of what you were looking for was.
After all, understanding your purpose would better facilitate a potential answer. Your purpose might influence what are or are not viable options to achieve what you are looking for.
