RF,
Well, we all started out with our first posts just like you, so you've already started on your journey.
My best advice would be to read around and research the topics that might interest you. If you post, try to give as much information as you can, be polite and respectful as you've already shown, and show thanks to those that have helped you.
You might want to start by looking into the topics listed in the Eris Roll-up Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756775 which should give you a good start on things.
There's lots of great folks here at XDA as well as other forums (such as AndroidForums, which you'll find many of these same folks, although XDA is much bigger and has more members).
If the forum search doesn't return what you are looking for, try using Google to help search the very same forum by doing a search such as "site:forum.xda-developers.com eris overclocking". This will often return results that the forum search will not, but the forum search also has other features and benefits too (search by poster, est.).
You can check if your phone is rooted in a couple of ways:
1. Download and install the free "Android Terminal Emulator" app, type in "su" (without the quotes, of course), and if the prompt changes from "$" to "#" then you are rooted.
2. Download and install the free "drocap2" screen capture app and try to run it. This app requires root and if you are indeed rooted, you will get a request from the "SuperUser" app asking you to "Allow" or "Deny" use of root (that's your indication that you are indeed rooted).
Welcome and cheers!

Has anyone gotten google voice search to work. I know that it easy to type in a search request, it's just more to try it out since it is a option. I have tried several apps for voice and I nothing I do seems to make it work. As always, thanks for the help.
Hello and welcome to the NT forum, i just made a search here in General section and look what i found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458356&highlight=google+voice+search
Please next time try to do a research first! if you don't find it then post your question here.
I know the XDA search is not the best tool of its kind but by googling "what i want to find, XDA" should be enough.
~ Veronica
I did perform a search using the search this forum feature and did not see a result that I thought answered my question. Maybe I didn't use good enough key words, I thought I used google voice as the key words. I have seen to many replies saying what you said not to do this first. But thank you for finding what I seem not to be good enough to find.
just copy Google VoiceSearch.apk to system/app
make sure the right permission
then reboot,you got it
Thank You. That is where I was making my mistake. In the post it just gave the download link and I was installing that is why it never worked for me. I an new to android, I still haven't learned when to do what.
Hi, I'm having a hard time working within Eclipse and getting started. I'm used to Visual Studio and thought I could start writing code, debug and go.
What I've done so far is downloaded Eclipse for android developer tools, and started downloading a bunch of plug ins for different versions under the Android SDK. I have downloaded many sdk build-tools, but I'm unsure how to compile and debug (the equivalent of hitting F5 in VS) so I can see what my application previews as and test it.
Can someone help me get to the point where I can write code and test/debug it visually? I've installed API's 14-20.
Thanks for reading.
I watched the video here
http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-t...-1-setting-up-eclipse-and-android-sdk-xda-tv/
trying to resolve this on my own, still no luck. Is there anyone who can get my setup, so I can stat building Hello World projects?
Here is what I am seeing with the most basic application for "my first app"

You most likely never got an answer as you provided no real troubleshooting info like IS version, how you installed it and where. Also there are many tut know the site about setting up eclipse. Best bet might be looking in the theme threads as that is what it is used for primarily. Also might check the google developers page. You have to remember this is not a support forum. Basic questions like this most of the time will go unanswered
Hi all!
I am looking for a decent spy app. I heard about this app called SpyApp247, wonder if anyone knows anything about it?

Hi !
You made an account to ask where can you find a certain app when you can easily use the search function of this forum or, if nothing comes up , Google search .
From our Forum rules
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news

Some of us do not install G**gle apps (incl Play). We use instead F-Droid and APKPure.
But some apps insist that they require Play... it's not a technical requirement, just one they throw in there, but it's a real problem as I am not going to install Play just for that.
Does anyone know of a Play 'placeholder' or 'simulator' which will satisfy this specious requirement? Or has anyone decompiled an app to remove this requirement?
Recommendations?

Apparently you haven't actually tried this. There is very little depth of knowledge about things Android, in general. We are fortunate here to have a competent dev and some competent users. This is rare.
It is unusual to not be at all dependent on G**gle, and I am happy to help with what I know about freeing yourself completely. But there are some catches, and the question I'm asking is the last one for me.
I can probably figure it out for myself, but when forced to do that I am not as inclined to share if sharing (or even trying) is not part of the ethos..
So can we can, or can we can't? :cyclops:

Try MicroG. Your purpose will be solved without installing any GAPPS.

Always share helpful info.
I believe the response the person made was a legit argument basically being made to help direct you to find a better place with much higher odds of getting an answer (looks like you got it tho).
But that doesn't mean you can't ask or can't share. It's all up to you. Sharing knowledge is the foundation this forum has thrived in. Personally I hope nothing defers anyone to question that regardless of any responses made or not made.
And yes, this is an excellent dev. But he's here to help primarily with his area of expertise, which according to the thread title is with Havoc issues. He can't be relied upon to answer non ROM questions (yet he probably would if he knew).
@Quantumstate,
I had to move your question and the corresponding answers to a specific thread (your thread now) to "Android Development and Hacking Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" because the thread where you posted initially was not the best place to ask.
I have named the thread "How to get rid of Playstore requirement for some apps?" because I had to fill a subject (is mandatory) but feel free to edit the title yourself if it's not OK for you.
Also, I suggest you to read THIS THREAD by @Oswald Boelcke, you could eventually find some clues there. If not maybe Oswald Boelcke or any other members (developers or not) here should be able to help you in this new Q&A thread
Thanks for understanding

@Quantumstate I just realised that @Wood Man pinged me and pointed you to my thread. Feel free to ask me in my thread or certainly here whatever you want to know. But I assume you first have a lot of reading ahead.
Additionally to my thread, I'd like to drag your attention to some more XDA threads in this context. In these threads are also links to Github/Gitlab including excellent tutorials. If you want you'll be able to leave Google services or requirements in many although not all cases behind; however, it also depends of the ROM(s) you use. This means if you commence a discussion please also provide insight into details of your device, system and configuration.

Last remark: On none of our devices, any Google service or application is installed. But all of our application run fine without and by the use of µG instead. The very few application, from which I expect push notifications, do receive them on time via GCM/FCM.
The one and only Google application, which I've installed, is the Google Play Store modified by Setalphia, the developer of above linked NanoDroid. It allows me easy access and updates of my applications purchased on Google PS respectively to conduct in-app purchases that I mainly do in order to support a good development and developer unless the developer offers different means of donation.
I knew we could count on you Oswald :highfive:

You have asked a public question and invited all, so let me answer that question... well, it was YOU.
I am pretty sure @rathian and others can help you out, if you listen to them.
Don't forget this is a developer forum (read the XDA mantra in my signature) so we expect you to show some effort. If you have any minor question you can always ask in that more friendly thread:
[HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly.
remember "Ask a stupid question and you'll get a stupid answer"
Thanks for your understanding, and don't forget the fun!

There is a question about nova launcher as you said but there is no guide, only answers in the replies that dont explain exactly how to do that and the replies are based on people who know how to use tasker. If someone could do a step by step guide i think lots of people will use that

I am absolutely sure u did not bother to read through the following two threads which explains clearly why only tasker method works and what are the limitations with the CN ROM by virtue of the unique form factor.. I strongly suggest u go vent ur demands at reddit instead..
