Hi XDA,
I found This link by searching and found it useful, as someone who has NEVER used a smartphone until x10, and therefore never used cyanogen!!
My point is just this, I have no idea if ALL of the above link is applicable to us but I for one don't know the advantages/how to use these features to my advantage.
Please, before anyone shouts - i intended to research cm7 for myself, but am no good at "how-Toos'" and wonder if it would be a good idea for someone in the x10 forums to explain a little, before the questions fly in! Specifically regarding Zmod or official, if that is later supported???
do you think we need one? I have no idea. if so, could someone please? therein lies my question. thank-you for your time.
p.s., i love Z's rom, but he clearly avoids giving any explanation about cm7 and understandably so; i quote "This mod is so well-known that I will just skip the introduction ". Unfortunately for me, I am one of the few who this doesn't apply to!!
wow, i thought that was good question! I won't bump this again unless replied to, cheers.

So everyone was on mr eugene373's thread talking crap, so it got closed down, the only problem is, this is the best rom out and now we have no where to get help for it! so i figgured if we could be decent and mature people we might be able to help one another out.
once again please no smack talk, no talking down to newbs, just keep it clean, and help out (hey remember you were a newb once too).
with that said, here is my first problem i'm having...
my home and back button are switched, other than that, the rom works perfectly. anyone else have the same problem or has anyone else out there found a solution?

I don't think he want's to continue it over here.
He stated on his twitter that he moved it over here: http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=4019
Not to mention there is a thread about this in the general..
Thanks, mind as well close this thread now then...

Thank for posting this master on my way over there
Downright shame! Another great cook / great rom that i have to go to another board for help on!
I think this thread should be in the dev section. This site is about all of the users, if not for each of us, this site would suck.
I was going to do this myself, a lot of the dumb (considered dumb by some of the dev's, not typically Eugene though) questions can be answered by the average user.
Thread closed... we are waiting for the developer to let us know his plans for the ROM Thread that is closed...by his request.
Hi dudes!
I just bought my first Android phone - Huawei U8150 IDEOS. It has Froyo on it and it is "with Google" on the back, which by the reviews means that is with bold Android 2.2 and not with some apps from the manufacturer.
But, as this is my first phone on Google, I would like some recommendations for apps, security maybe, what to do with it, and of course some basics about the Android itself because I don't know nothing about it. Don't be angry at me for that, and I know that this is not the COOLEST phone (by coolest probably means most expensive ) but it is enough (given the money amount spent on it).
Am, also I live on the Balkan so probably some apps for US region may not work for me.
Any tip and info will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Am.....sorry if there is some other thread like this one out there, I searched and - no results, but again, I may be mistaken. So if there is something like this, please let me know and then close the thread. THANKS!
Bye!
SORRY GUYS, PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD AS I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT THE PLACE, I JUST SAW ANDROID ON MY PAGE SO I THOUGHT THIS IS IT. BUT IT IS THE CHEFS CENTRAL. SORRY AGAIN. BYE!
Closed as per OP's request.
Okay. I posted my first ever question/request for advice the other day and, despite 79 views, I have had no response. Perhaps it was too dull for those who are more accomplished with all things Android and everybody assumed that somebody else would answer.
Perhaps within the morass of information on these forums the answers are already out there. Maybe, but who knows. In other forums people tend to at least say - look there for answers - and post a link to another thread. But, it has been Christmas and I guess we are all pretty busy this time of year - Merry Christmas to all by the way
So, I thought I would re-shape my question/needs here.
Could anybody give me, or at least point me in the direction of, a glossary of terms type of thing?
I need to know things like what does 'radio' mean? How does it relate to the 'flashing' process' , And any other terms which people take for granted as being blindingly obvious, but which may not be to those of us very inexperienced. This forum can be quite daunting, but still, enquiring minds wanna know
Any help, again, appreciated.

I would've loved to answer but perhaps you need to be more specific on what you want to be answered
you said you wanted to have 2.3.5 on ur DHD,but that doesn't tell anyone what you are asking for,if you are asking us to find a ROM for you,or how to flash a recovery first,or how to flash the ROM !
You should have to provide us more specific data, phone, model, rooted or stock, etc. It is normal that why you don't get replies.

HI, and thank you. Also apologies for my woolly question. And this is kind of my problem. When new to this even the questions I want answered are not always asked correctly. I was hoping to find a ROM for my Desire HD which has Sense 3.0. I have Gingerbread on the phone currently with Sense 2.1.
To be completely humble and honest, which I find to be the best way in almost all cases, I must say that I am not even sure what "how to flash a recovery" means, or "how to flash the ROM".
So, as you see, I am really new to this and feeling my way around. I am a quick learner though so I really just need bringing up to speed on a few of the basics and then I am sure I will be able to research my way around.
Anyway, thank you for your kind reply. I wasn't trying to be shirty with my post. I meant what I said - it is Christmas and I am sure people look in over the holidays but it is a busy time for everybody. I hope I have not caused offence.
Can I contact you on your email,i find that more easily accessible!

Please read before you do anything at all. From your posts it is plain you are very new to Modding so it is very important you understand what your doing as it void your warrenty and if done wrong can brick your device. Start with the stickies in the DHD section and read those a couple of times. Then check the Q&A and read there as well.
As mentioned, read the stickies in your section, there should be a lot of information there. In my device's subfora, there are great stickies chocked full of information. If we had the same device, I'd post some links for you. There's also a glossary of sorts stickied in the Thunderbolt section. Not everything in it will apply to your device but it may help with some general terms.
Before I even rooted my device, I read all of the stickies and recommended links. I then read over the Q&A and general subfora just to get a feel for it. What I read didn't make a lot of sense at the time, but later I remembered it and it made more sense. I then rooted my device, then read and read and read before flashing my first rom (CM6 - it was a while back).
It's a process, and the more you read the more you'll understand, until eventually you can start answering some of the questions that go unanswered. Just give it time... and make sure that you know exactly what you're doing - and why - before you jump in to something.
Good luck!

Hi there Zendel.
Apologies for the lateness of this reply. Been a busy day. I wanted to say thanks for the advice and to also fill in a couple of blanks, if I may.
You are quite correct, I am very new to modding and my only fear is buggering it up, as we say in Lancashire lol. However, it has already been rooted by a friend who took me through the process over the phone some months ago.
When I first got the phone it was with Orange and had all that Orange junk and splash screen etc. Hence, my friend talked me through rooting and installing a standard factory ROM. It was a lot to take in and, at the time, I didn't make any notes along the way, which would have helped me now - hindsight is a wonderful thing, as they say.
More recently he pointed me at a link to a RUU (is that right?) so that I could upgrade from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 - so, in a nutshell, void warranty is no longer a concern
I have taken a look at some of the stickies, though I have not studied them intensely at this point. I will spend more time looking however and come back, perhaps, with more questions - or at least more relevant questions I should hope

Many thanks PlainJane - I shall go there now
Hello everyone,
At first, as a new member, let me congratulate you for this amazing forum and the community that is built around it. A lot of useful and interesting stuff can be found here, and I know that it takes a lot of hard work to boost and maintain a forum to this high-quality level, create a community and share knowledge, so thank you for that and keep up the good work.
To get to the point, I recently became the owner of a Google Nexus 5 and 3 days ago I upgraded the preinstalled Android 4.4 to Android 5.0. Before that, I used a Nokia N900 phone with Maemo 5 and ArchLinux (desktop Linux Distribution), and this Nexus became my introduction to the Android operating system for the first time.
So as a newbie to Android, I want to ask toy a few questions on how to make some things done.
While I had my Android rooted before, after the upgrade it probably needs rooting again, so I'd be grateful if someone points out a link to a tutorial that describes this process. I also need to install an anti-theft application, and from what I've seen, Cerberus just does what I want, but I need to install it in a way that even if someone restored the phone to its default settings or even format it, the application woud stay in place. From what I've read, it is possible, right? I don't know how, maybe it has something to do with the ROM, which brings me to my next question. Custom ROMs, what are they? How do they get installed and which one do you suggest for Nexus 5?
As for now, those are my questions. I know that I could use Google to find out more about those stuff, but I really want to learn how they work, not just how to accomplish them, and all my searches in Google result in different ways to achieve the same thing, a fact that confuses me instead of teaching me stuff. That's why I ask here.
So, if anyone could point out some links or explain to me how to do the things I want, I'd be very grateful.
Also, besides all those things, any suggestions you might have of any nature, I'd be glad to hear them and they'll be much appreciated!
Than you very much in advance. I appologize to the forum and its moderators if I posted this in a wrong category or broke any rule. I assure you that if I did, it was not intetional.
Best regards,
Elias
Should I post this over to the Google Nexus 5 forums?
[SOLVED]
Ok, after a lot of reading, I finally understood the whole concept of ROMs and Recovery.
For anyone having trouble with his first steps on those issues as well, the following links would be very useful:

Good luck!
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the correct sub-forum to post this in, but I couldn't find where else to put it after reading the rules. If it is incorrect, could a moderator please move it? Thank you!
Anyways, I wanted to make a request for an iOS 8 ROM for the Nexus 5. A lot of people, and I mean A LOT have been looking for a ROM that looks exactly like iOS, but haven't found anything (I haven't either).
The Goophone company makes fake iPhones, but they are based on Android OS. The skin that they put over it makes it look really, really close to the real thing. I was thinking a developer could somehow make a ROM similar to that one? (or even better ). I know about launchers and such, but that doesn't give you the real experience.
If there already is a ROM like this, please point me to it.. But to whomever may full fill this request: the ROM you make will be extremely popular! I guarantee it!
Thank you!
Huh?
Why not buy an iPhone instead?

try MIUI its pretty the best way for something similar to iOS and its a great experiance of an special Android, like no other... else you will not be very lucky with your request
http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=232&mobile=no
or search in the forum for MIUI..... aaaand it is already reeeeally popular
Do not be a wannabe. Buy an iphone.
1. If A LOT of people really want something like this, then there would have been something like this long ago.
2. Nothing gives you the real experience except the real thing.
3. Rule of thumb, if you are not developing anything, the thread should either be in General or Q&A.

Please follow all XDA rules you agreed to before making a thread.
As for your request. There is MIUI a Chinese knock off OS of Crapples software (for now before Apple puts them out). IT is very popular with Chinese people and those that are Iphone converts. Not really popular here as most Hate IOS.
