I just registered here and I don't know where to post this so sorry if I missed or if this question is already answered.
Here it goes:
I want to install an OS manually just like you do it on a PC.
I have so much unused apps which I can't delete.
Also, im runnin g on Android 4.4.4 and latest is 5.1 I think.
There is no option to update this...
Go to your device specific forum and check the development thread. Mobiles and pcs are different animals when installing an os. My advice, read/learn all you can prior to doing anything.

Hey guys and gals. I'm new here but I did have a few questions.
Right now my G1 is giving me problems. Here is the scenario. I have loaded into my phone the OpenHome with the Aero theme, BetterCut, Font-Games font pack, and the Icon pack for Aero. Once I set OpenHome to only use 3 screens, I get a force close error. Then, if I were to shut off the phone and then restart it, it hangs on the Android screen (the new one since I already have the cupcake loaded into my phone).
Has anyone had this problem? Any work arounds to fix it?
I was also thinking of rooting my phone to see if that would fix my problems.
Which ROM would you recomend for me to use? and what are the pros and cons for each. Not looking to the Rosie or Sense UI rom yet, but the basic Cupcake rom.
Thanks
This post is in the wrong section as this is for development only.
If you do root your mobile, I would currently suggest Cyanogen's ROM as its up to date, stable and has some cutting edge stuff inside. The theme is also sleek and lightweight without any real modifications to make it look like Hero etc.
XDA timeout - double post.
Thanks for you help.
And my bad about the double post. I'll be chillin in the penalty box if anybody needs me.
Don't worry about it, the double post was by me as XDA struggles with the amount of users hitting the forum ^_^ There's a new Q&A section for the Dream so you can post questions and that which are not related to the development of Android. Unless its a specific ROM issue usually the posts go there.
Hope the rooting and the use of the ROM of your choice goes well!
One last question.
Where can I find specific directions on how to root my phone for the very first time?
I've located a few things but keep getting errors when I try to install the ROM?
Thanks for all your help

helps me a lot when I'm in trouble.. it also covers everything you need..
Indeed, its a decent thread of which I hope still gets updated. I've also had it in my signature too, to help raise the awareness of such an FAQ.
I'm looking around and not seeing anything concerning Non-rooted phones already running cupcake (Build CRB43).
Will I have to downgrade to RC29 in order to begin rooting my phone?
And is that possible even though I'm running the latest version of Android (ver1.5)?
Good question! I didn't see that you had 1.5 OTA running as it wasn't stated in your original post so we assumed you were running on 1.1. I just quickly read that you wanted a basic cupcake ROM...
You would have to downgrade yeah if you want to obtain ROOT and thus enabling you to flash custom ROMs and other goodies.
Yes, you have to downgrade to RC29 and it can be done with the latest version of the phone software. Follow the directions they already posted. It's reasonably straightforward. There's even a video guide on youtube so you can see what the various screens look like.
Hello guys, as you can see I am new to the forum and new to android in general. [Used to be an iOS fanboy] I have recently acquired an LG Optimus Black but i'm unhappy with the stock ROM provided by LG.
I have a few questions:
1) What are my options for rooting the device?
2) Once rooted, what custom ROMs are currently available for the device?
3) If I flash a new ROM is it possible and what would I need to have/do to restore the device back to the stock ROM?
And lastly...
4) What is the chance of fully bricking the device and what are my options if the device gets bricked?
Thanks a lot, [Hope this was the right section and hasn't been asked before...]

All was asked and ANSWERED before. Move your a** and search for it.
I have searched actually. The questions that have been answered aren't specific to my situation and I know that small details are very important when flashing phones. If you aren't answering the question I guess what you posted would be considered spam?
Guys,
Please refrain from bickering, two ways this can be easily resolved:
1. Use google search with the word xda in it to find your answer
2. Rather than posting move your a** and find it, if you know the link or answer, why not help a brother out?
I will say no more on the matter, its that simple.
THanks.

No point arguing..if you don't wanna help just ignore.
If you wanna reply, make sure it helps others.
1) What options? It's either you root or you don't. Either way, your phone works.
2) Currently there's only NOVA Rom by knzo.
3) Read this thread here.
4) Chances of bricking are slim if you read before attempting anything. If in any case your phone is bricked (boot loop), refer to the above.
Hope it helps.
Welcome to the Android community
Thank you very much for the very active response and information.... I am also studying these issues.

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!
I've heard a lot of the current roots don't work for the OB?
And is NOVA the ONLY ROM at the moment, I thought I heard about another one?
Older firmwares, you can use Gingerbreak. If it doesn't work, then most probably you're on the newer firmwares. Then use SuperOneClick.
The other one is Pays ROM. It's been abandoned.
It needs v10b Firmware to run. If you're not familiar, stick to Nova ROM.
Cyanogenmod is in progress (i hope so)

Please, could let me know if there are pure official roms for HTC Incredible S ?
And the program to install it ?
I did not find, I'm new to the forum and I searched but could not find one.
So far only found customizations.
Second question:
If I make the root HTC Incredible S, I lose the OTA updates?
Sorry my english, i'm from Brazil and dont speak very well.
----------> EDIT:
OK, I found the official rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922).
How to know which should I use?
I want a rom without customization, (and the program to install )?
And about the root, i lose OTA updates ?
Welcome to XDA, i see it is your first post.
i would suggest going through the Android development forum and checking out all the ROMs there.
Not sure why you are looking for 'pure official ROMs'
if you have an IS & you have not done anything with it, then you are using a pure & official ROM.
i guess you now are looking for a 'pure & great ROM' made by some quality development here.
yes, you will probably not receive any OTA as you are no longer on the stock rom.
even if u can do not update. the rom developer will provide an update soon.
go have a look & see which rom interests you
also, EVERYTHING you need about almost every query is answered... either in the general or development section.
Look around or use the search, am sure you'll find what you looking for
happy rooting & romming!

This version of Note has a different hardware. So this is the wrong forum (and you double posted in the other forum already).
If you search for your device in XDA you'll find many threads related to that question and with no results.
If you want to know how to flash an android device: read the tutorials that are sticky in every forum of every device. No need for the next spoon feeding...
