Welcome to XDA! Enjoy the forums, and let me know if you have any questions.

I am trying to get a small Work Group together to help crack this RCA/venturer challenger 10 pro ( in the UK ) as its on Android 10 ( and has NO updates and some apps just stop even working with it ) and I am looking at maybe finding a new Rom or even Making one for it so I can Use some other apps/OS on like Linx/Kali etc so I can use it as a Tool platform while I am out in the field and cannot get to my PyeDeck etc or even use it as a replacement for my PyeDeck as its hard to get a Good Pye that don't Cost 50+ pounds here in the UK lol I know I am asking for much but I am willing to chip in where I can as I Own the tablet in Question and I know how to follow directions etc as well as try to come up with ideas on how to bypass its Water tight Lockout.

NEWB here

Hey guys, this is my first post. I couldn't find and introductions thread so I thought I would just put it here. I have an HTC Touch Diamond and I'm just a basic end user.
I purchased the phone from sprint because I am already a sprint customer, and I needed a tool to make my photography business stronger. The large screen is great for displaying photos should I meet a possible client anywhere, then I can email them pdf's straightaway. Also, the sprintnav is great for when I have more than one location on a shoot (friggin battery life gives me ONE location, so it's emergency only)
OK so then I got to tinkering with my phone, and found out there is a BUNCH of tinkering I can do with it.
So here I am. Wish me luck. I don't wanna break this thing (yet)

Mike-Thanks!
Ingerasu-Thanks for the link I"ll check it out
Denco7- Yeah I was poking around and learned the term BRICK. 8) I definitely don't want to have to use that one! So I'll definitely be reading and rereading everything.
Thanks guys
Mitch
Up to date
So coming from what I started with...
I now run androkkid as my main UI. I have mighty ROM 4. I have an Alltel radio which has dropped a couple of calls so I think I might switch back to a Sprint radio for a while. I'm CDMA Diamond anyway...
I'm looking at flashing a new bootsplash into my device...
and damnit, I just might have to learn some manila editing to get the look I want on my pda...
After a check or two I might actually hit the donate button here......
This is a crazy amount of knowledge here.
Peace
Yeah the donation button is the best way to say thanks to this great site
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
believe me that's on the way. but i only have six bucks left in my paypal acct and some recent CRAP has basically left me peniless and homeless. so i live with my brother rent free while i work a meager salary job (pay is a step over fast food) and try to rebuild my own business.
my car is gone, my apt is gone, etc etc
i just can't quite hit that donate button yet...
[/sob story]
Sorry to hear that
Wish that better times arrive to you soon

[Q] back into development

hey everyone glad to be a member again well glad to come back.
i was in a horrible accident in 2012 and with all the damage somethings in my life got turned upside down like everything lol. so before my accident i developed software. so my thought is to try to develope again. so i want to develop for the phone and the tablet any help or information in getting back into that would be awesome and links that can be provided or any suggestions would rock.
my goal is to get the hardware needed which that is a no brainer i am going to buy a tablet (yes the cheapest one i can find) and i am going to buy a smartphone. and i am going to get another laptop (yes just for development reasons)
now i have a few ideas on software to develop which no reason to get into bu what development tools should i start with and while i am not made of money are there free versions. i have been considered disable so would there be a discount if any for that reason?
i am just tying to get back into doing something can yall help a computer nerd out?????????

What do you want to develop ?
Developing software is a pretty vague term .
You don't really need a new laptop just for developing software.
For Android you can use Eclipse + ADT plugin or Android Studio . Both of these are free to use.

You can get the Kindle Fire HD as it's very cheap at about $129.
TapaTalk'd from a KFSOWI
Spoiler
Need help with your Kindle Fire HD 2013? Mention me and i'll help
Been here since 2014
As advice mention me if you need help and you need me.
not sure what i want to develop i want to make sure i can still program so i would be willing to create anything that interest me really. i am a gamer so maybe in that direction but i am also into other things so who knows what software i want to create.
the reason i am getting another laptop is to have some development hardware and then i would have a total of 3 laptops so my thought is 1 laptop to develop android software on the other laptop to be used for watching my netflix lol then the laptop i am on now would be used for research and sending emails and posting the way i am doing now so on the development laptop i can have the development going while at the same time researching a problem or looking for something to add to the idea of what i am doing. plus the 2 laptops i have now are old they are like 4 years old which isn't bad but with the prices at best buy now less then $300.00 can get another laptop that is very useable

Introduce yourself! What's your XDA story?

HI you guys are awesome
Well hi all, I'm 'new', but not really that new, since I've been searching through XDA topics on many occasions for quite a few years now. Not sure why it took me so long to actually make an account, but here I am.
So about me - half geek, half creative, F/LOSS enthusiast for over 20 years, full time Linux user since 2006, interested in way to many subjects to ever become a specialist in any of them within at least a dozen of life spans. Hence I don't think I'll ever be able to call myself a developer, but hey, we'll see ;-)
Hello everyone, i'm back here after a long, long time
I used to read alot here when i was 10 - 15 but I think i switched to iOs during 2010s and i never really had my phone in the center of my occupations so i bought some macbook & iphone and i started to learn code. (mostly js)
I would be really happy to help users here, if i can, and discuss about my new device. 2020s seems to be redditable as **** tbh, the xda lost kid became some kind of creative dev who's going back to the r00t
Thank you for everything I have read here over the last years!
More than anything, XDA is a community, and we're all here for different reasons.
Some are here to mod their phone--some joined just to ask a question. Or perhaps, like many, you joined so long ago, you have no idea why you're here (which is totally fine! we've been around for almost a decade). And we're in the process of making XDA more useful to everyone here now that we've moved to much better forum software.
But we'd love to know your XDA story: why are you here, and who are you? What's your day job, what phones do you have, where do you live, what do you like to do for fun? We'd love to get to know you!
Also, be sure to spend some time filling out your profile:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/account-details
And also adding what phones you have to your inventory:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/xda-devices
thanks and welcome. I'm one of the guys in charge and my DMs are always open if you ever want to chat or even complain.
Go ahead and make a new thread in this forum instead of replying to this post.

What's up,
I'm youngspeed and I'm here to further my knowledge on tech. But I also have a few questions.
1 how do I sign in to the app because it redirects me to my browser to confirm authorization but when I do it takes me back to the XDA app but doesn't sign me in. (Update: I was able to sign in so I don't have a question about this anymore)
2 does anyone know how to get Google Camera on the Samsung A10e without rooting or flashing because I have been trying but no success. If there is a way can you send the apk please?
And lastly how do I make a discussion? Thanks

Hello. I have an LG expression 3 and a MotoG 7 power .i am here looking for a ROM or theme for both phones.
A while back I had an AOPk boot animation that was awesome and the alien ROM ( I think) . it had awesome fonts and icons. I was wondering if UI theme kitchen is still around and if either phone is rootable and or would be compatible with the theme kitchen. ?? Its been a while but I really hope you can help me find something . both phones are pretty plain and boring .
Hey All,
I am a Redmi 5 user and I am here in XDA to find a way to root my phone and also see that, if there is any possibility that I can upgrade the Android version as mine is stuck at version 8.
Well i like the internet especially for the opportunity to learn from others and share information with people that equaly appreciate the content as much as i do.
Here i gonna admid i am more on the newby side.. I played around with phones in the past. Mostly following up tutorials of people that really understand what they are doing... And this way i can create something with their help that me on my own would be hard to accomplish... We build on each other in different aspects of life and here i am appreciating to receive knowledge of the ones that are really into electronics/software/programming. ..
Its a strange, extremly complex but logic world that i find myself in when dealing with modifiying electronics .
Thanks for sharing this with me
Hi all,
I was in read-only mode for years and now I had to reply to a post.
I've got a Samsung S8, S20 FE, Chinese Android car head unit. I'm interested in Android apps to make my devices more usable, comfortable and so.
Thanks for everyone
Hi there!
I hope I can find all the answer for my question without posting, so I don't bother you
Heya, I am Aaron, joined XDA for useful apps, support and to comment under programs or roms I use, nothing much to know about me

Will put substantial effort in abiding by all rules and regulations.
Thank you and best wishes

Welcome to XDA!
Have a good read and enjoy!
Hi. I'm a french CS engineer and a Debian addict.
I systematically root all my phones and have a specialization in tuning the iptables to not talk to the GAFAMs. Rooted phones so far : Huawei codenames HAM, NEML51, old samsung phones, a couple of Wiko phones.
I've been following XDA-developers for a decade and decide now to onboard :
* Short-term goal : get some help on a very edge case involving dm-verity and kali nethunter on Nexus5X (bullhead)
* Long-term goal : wait patiently for the day when a full debian phone / ubuntu touch will be available at a relatively low price, and help all along
hi. im just a nobody playing around with his phone 3

First Attempt

Im Kyle 40 m from Detroit Michigan . This is my first Attempt at rooting an Android and after looking over the site I feel I'm in the right place to learn from kind knowledgeable people.
Thanks for Everything

Welcome to XDA Kyle!
Here there's a fantastic community and loads of knowledge. What device do you have?
Enjoy your stay
To make a long story short I got ripped off on eBay and ended up with an unbranded X60 Pro. The device appears to have 10 but after a little investigation Its really 6. I have no idea where to even start . I would like to some how completely wipe the phone and reinstall fresh from the ground up. If you have any suggestions how I can make this device at least usable I would greatly appreciate it. I have zero experience rooting a phone but am not completely useless on computers and such.
Fastboot Screen

Need general help with modding the X8 in 2021

So here's the deal. I got an old X8 with Android 1.6 from ebay a few months back for the fun of it and I've been trying to install cyanogenmod or something similar on it so I could use it as a portable emulation device. Now I'll be honest, I'm a complete noob. (My greatest computing achievement is installing Puppy Linux on a laptop 5 years older than the X8.) I've scowered these here forums and other places on the web far and wide but still came out unsuccessful. I couldn't even figure out how to boot it in fastboot mode, which was the hurdle that killed it for me. I think so far I've only managed to root the thing, whatever comes after just keeps flying over my head. So here's what I would like to do.
-Install apps capable of decently emulating systems such as the PS1, GBA, GBC, N64, MD, 32X...
-Connect a gamepad through USB or BT (If even physically possible)
-Preserve the media playback abilities of the device as it came, as well as the ability to take photos
-Being able to browse the web and watch videos would be kinda cool too but I know it's a stretch...
I know that all the stuff I need is probably still out there somewhere but as I said I am a *complete and utter* noob with honestly little skill and patience.
So if anyone here is willing to help me with any guidance (or perhaps even a step-by-step guide, oh my!) on how to squeeze the best out of the wee thing with the best ROM, be it Cyanogenmod or anything else, or get it to work with a proper controller with the best apps and stuff, I will be very grateful. I'll offer you my French skills if you need them lol. Also sorry for writing a text brick...
