hello...im kinda new here...
but i just recently got internet on my tilt. im wondering if anyone has any good sites for free games/software for the tilt...
also was wondering what kinda things you guys use the net for on the tilt. most of the daily surfing stuff is seemingly too slow (even w/ 3g, we just got it in our area about a week ago) and i was wondering what everyone uses the media net for...anything good & worthwhile?
thanks for any info. stan
Welcome Stan,
Before someone flames you here, I need to warn you that prior to posting new threads please try searching the threads first. Then, if you don't find what your looking for post your question in the appropriate section.
Again not trying to offend, just trying to keep you from getting flamed by someone else.
Hey guys,
Sorry for asking such a basic question but I have searched through the Wiki and tons of posts but I can't find the answer anywhere. Then again, I might have overlooked it since my eyes started to glaze over with the vast amount of information on this awesome site.
Anyways, the question:
Do you have to have a ROM flashed on your phone in order to use a theme?
I'm interested in using the Dirty Paper or Shakass theme and am confused on what I need to do.
I understand the premise of .cabs and whatnot.
Also, what version of Manilla (TouchFlo 3d) is on the Alltel Touch Pro? I get the phone in a week so I don't have it in hand.
Thanks guys for the time.
Hey Guys,
Blast me as I know you will --- I just got my n1 for ATT last week after converting from a BB9700;
Questions -
(1) After rooting what is the best mod to do --- everyone has something to say buy I am debating from Cynagen vs ModaCo..
(2) Radio upgrades, Is there a new n latest one for my verison of N1
!!
Try "Search"......and wrong section to post this...
I was in the same situation as you! Just got rid of my 9700 and got a N1
I've been playing with Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 and more recently, 5.0.6.1-testing with the new .33.2 Undervolted/Overclocked/Extra RAM kernel. Everything is very snappy compared to stock and I couldn't be happier
I'm still looking around for radio roms

I'm going to recommend that you NOT ROOT YOUR N1.
Stick with the un-rooted phone for as long as you can.
First determine WHY you want to root.
Do you know shell scripting? You know much/little about Unix/Linux? Are you a power user? Are you an iPhone iBasher?
I've rooted and unlocked all of my HTC phones for the past few years, because I know what I'm doing. I read and read and read, searched searched searched these forums for reasons why I should or shouldn't do this or that.
You are new to these forums. New to Android™.
I say you should play with your new phone for a few months.

If and when you learn ENOUGH by reading, searching, slimming, and searching and reading some more ... if you feel you want to root your Nexus One - by all means, DO It MAN!

I will tell you why 95% of people want to root on the Nexus One. No need to ask a prospect.
The reason is because they want cyanogenmod!
You advice is poor rooting is child play compared to 360 modding.
N1 modding is key to enjoying ones phone.
I have to admit, I rooted my Nexus right away.
Having said that, I spent almost a year on my G1 without rooting it. At first I didn't know it was an option. After I started reading about it, I started to realize that it was probably a wise thing to do. It then took me a few weeks of reading to figure out what I actually wanted to do to my phone before I took the leap and finally rooted it and installed CM which made my G1 experience exciting again.
I mention all this because I agree with OrganizedFellow. Spend some time getting to know how Android works before rooting and adding new features. It will help you appreciate the hard work of the devs even more when you do put custom ROMs on your phone.
If you can't wait, I recommend CM. As for the radio, if your phone doesn't lose 3G and stays connected like it should, don't worry about changing the radio. I "had" to change my radio to try getting rid of my 3G issues that the phone shipped with.

in contrast, if youre not super comfortable with going through the whole process just dip your toes in the water first by trolling forums and reading, you can after all brick your phone. I agree with organizedfellow, take your time and find out why and what benefits. i have not rooted yet but leaning closer as i read more and find that i really need the tethering in case im stuck with no wireless while out on a job (also the different color trackball would be sweet). Out side of those im pretty happy with everything stock, add to it with the rumors of himem coming in a future ota update i think i will be set....just that damn tethering...
You cant go wrong with any ROM available right now, but I highly suggest you try Enomther's ROM as well.

are you serious? nobody said anything about the comparison of rooting an android device (software) to modding an xbox 360 (hardware).
So by your logic, someone should jump right into modding their console because replacing the engine in a Boeing 747 is harder.
To the OP. Take the advice of those suggesting that you wait. For starters, you can see if your device has any hardware issues. Yes HTC is warrantying unlocked devices but why not avoid that hurdle and sit on your device for a week or three to just be sure. While you do that, you can read all that you can stomach in these forums and plan your best course of attack.
Welcome to the fray.

+1 that is some great advice, and I would take it. I was just like you and I last week I rooted my ATT N1. I love it, but I must say that I have put a lot more time into it than I expected. I spent a month before I got the N1 looking into this whole scene and I felt that I had the reasons to root. I would at least spend the time searching forums until all your questions that you have are answered. No body is going to be able to give you a perfect ROM that is for you because there are many different ones out there and what is good for one person may not be the best for another.
I would spend the time to get to know everything before you get going. I would say I know my way around technology pretty well, but if I didn't have the nice folks from this forum I would of had a very hard time with things. When people tell you to "search" they really aren't trying to be rude. To root your phone is a personal choice that only you can make. You are the one that spent the money and people spend a bunch of time making our HTC using lives that much greater.
I spent almost 4 hours last week rooting and unlocking and I have spent easily 30-40 since then learning all that I can learn and I must say that for me it was the right decision because I learned a bunch of things about my phone and now when I have a problem I am comfortable that I can find a way to fix it myself. If I don't then I know where to turn to "search" for help.
If you have any questions I would love to help you out although I am far from a master at this trade. I spent a bunch of time and I have a whole notebook of printouts that I have found in various places all over the web (especially this site) I would be more than happy to send them to you, but just do yourself a huge favor and research, research, research, research, and then when you feel you are done research some more. It will help you in the long run.
Have fun with your phone and good luck
By the way I am running the latest Cyanogen and a few other things. I am having a blast with .apk like the HTC keyboard, and I must say that for me wireless tethering is the greatest thing in the world. I have only touched the very end of this world, and I am so thankful for all the people out there that spend countless hours making our lives a lot easier. I had a bunch of help last week and people really didn't need to spend the time to help me out. I have also messed around with the latest Modaco Sense ROM and I like that a lot as well.
Alright, i am fairly new to this stuff.. i know how to flash a rom on to my TP2. However, what im trying to do is figure out how to modify ROMS. like in a kitchen.. i have done countless hours on researching how to use kitchens.. but in the tutorials and such what i am getting on my end is nothing to what they are talking about.. like how to use a kitchen. another thing, what kitchen is best and simplest to use? and how come EVERY kitchen ive downloaded so far my Norton says theres viruses in it? same when i try to dump a rom, it comes up as viruses being on my comp.. dont like that.. -.- so if anyone can PLEASE HELP me. i would be especially gratefull, i do know there is one thread with a bunch of youtube vids on how to do all this cooking stuff but i cant seem to find where the post was. that would be a help if i could get that again. so i can watch the vids. thanks guys!

Hello XDA Forums,
I am a fresh and innocent member here, so I hope I do everything correct in this first post over here
So, I am about to get my LG P990 OPTIMUS Speed (it is called like that here in Germany) around next week.
Now I stumbled upon this board with all its fancy ROM and rooting stuff...
I am only a bit experienced in this topics; I guess ROM is some kind of image (I just know ROMs from games ) and root could mean full access to the filesystem. Am I correct?
Now; what are the advantages of "Custom ROMs" and what can I do with root access on the LGO2X? Is it like on my iTouch where Jailbreak let's me get some nifty addons and tweaks? Or what is it?
Thanks for your patience and I hope I will be able to sometime contribute something to this community
Kind regards,
~~VuVo
