Hi there fellow XDAers
I'm from India and i'm very enthusiastic about smartphones. I have good english speaking and writing skills.
I've been on this forum for a decade now, all the while using files and tutorials to modify my many phones i used over the years.
I've also been active member at se-nse forums in early 2000s when i was using sony-ericsson phones.
I know how to unlock bootloader, root, install twrp and custom roms.
I'm trying find a job with my above mentioned knowledge of modifying smartphones.
If the above knowledge is not enough where/what do i start learning and practicing so that eventually atleast in a year i can find a decent job.
Please help/guide fellow XDAer, any kind of guidance would be much appreaciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.

Hi all, I have recently developed an intense interest in learning about computer programming/hacking/rooting etc. (with a particular interest in rooting). I was wondering how you went about learning all the skills that you have? Did you have formal education for things like coding, customizing ROMs, etc? (What types of classes did you take?) Did you learn it on your own through ways such as the internet, or another person to guide you?
I am by no means asking for a "quick fix" in ways of rooting, customizing, etc. I want to learn how different things work together and develop. I'm in my second year of university at the moment and although I took computer programming in high school, I didn't take it seriously and therefore hardly remember it. I am now approaching this interest of mine with a newfound respect and vigor.
I would appreciate any feedback you could give me of your experiences and learning processes. I know this isn't a device specific or development related request so I apologize if this is an inappropriate post, I'm just trying to gather a better understanding of how I might be able to go about learning these different skills. Thank you for your time and all the hard work you do for XDA and the general community.
hi everyone, im new to XDA & also new to Android OS. I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me understand XDA & how the rooting process works.
any experienced rooters out there looking for a student??
What device do you have/ what specifically do you want to know about rooting and or xda
Far as learning what XDA is all about, this thread is a good place to start.
Welcome to the XDA community! I'm still relatively new to the Android OS as well, and my knowledge expands greatly by the day here. Really, the best way to learn XDA is to explore it all and read a lot before posting!
XDA is the resource to goto, to find out how to do stuff. However, don't shy away from using Google to familiarize yourself with the jargon used in the Android mod community. It is invaluable to know what rooting, bootloader, recovery, fastboot and adb mean, before attempting to modify your phone/tablet to something better software wise.
I haven't been around too long but I've successfully flashed roms on 3 phones if you need anything pm me. And I've done a little bit more but not much. My most advanced knowledge is making the hello world app with java lol. Good luck to ya and welcome.
The device specific forums are the best place to get rooting info for your phone. You'll find guides and wiki therein.
You might want to watch this guide to learn more about XDA itself:

I'm a software engineering major and I would like to start contributing work to this forum as I have learned basic programming techniques and have learned about the basic android structure over the past ~1.5 years of modding android. I have all the android SDK tools and APK manager. I'm just looking for someone to help me get started into actual ROM Development. I'm a fairly quick learner so it shouldn't take too long. Any help you guys could give me would be wonderful.
Thanks a lot,
Justin

Hello All,
Well I just want to start out by saying hello to my fellow xda freaks! I'm new here and I'm learning how to be an advanced user of my Samsung Galaxy S 3!! I'm extremely excited about learning the ropes of getting the most out of my Galaxy!! I would like to learn first of all how to Root my phone. Also My carrier is US Cellular could someone please tell me which forum I should be in as I did NOT see US Cellular listed in the forums for the Galaxy S 3? It would also be great if someone could point me in the right direction of where I should start reading and learning the ropes of rooting my phone and another question I have is should I learn other things before I go right into learning how to root the phone? I know how to use my phone pretty well to the point where I think I'm above needing to learn the basics if you will. Any help is and will be greatly appreciated in getting started here so I can learn I'm really excited and can't wait to learn more! Until then I'll be reading through this site and learning as much as I can hopefully someone will know where I can go to get on my way to learn the good stuff about my phone!!

If you browse around the development forums you should be able to find more information about how to root your phone and such. Many of the rom developers there have a rom that is labeled specifically for the phone. Look in the title. It should say [d2usc] for your model. Also posted at the top of the original android development thread there's a toolkit. That might have the rooting info your looking for. Also I would highly recommend looking in Android development and reading all(yes ALL) of the stickies posted there. They have a lot of helpful information that can help if you have a problem or prevent it from happening in the first place. After you've learned yourself some knowledge have some fun and happy flashing!

I am new to the world of android development since I have learned what rooting is, how it can be used, and the potential to help others is unlimited in the world of development. I am looking to start a career in the world of development, and Android development has me extremely interested in what I can possibly do with such a useful and necessary skill set. I know basically nothing at all, but I can read fairly well and follow basic instructions within a set of guidelines. I am sure most of the developers that post in xda forums are busy with actual careers and lives of their own, but if anyone is willing to teach me what I should know to become a developer, I would be extremely appreciative. I am looking to learn the basics of how android works, how devices communicate, how apps are made and interpreted by the operating systems that use them, and much more. Anything is helpful, even if someone can teach me which questions I should actually be asking. Needless to say that this is kind of embarrassing to be asking, but someone Please teach me if your time permits. Everyone has been extremely helpful and understanding. Help me work next to some great minds so I can hopefully reach the same level myself. Thanks to everyone reading this.
