Hi All
Just arrived at this place after doing a Google search. To be honest I am not sure what I want to do with this phone! I got given it by a mate who thought I might like to play with it! It has a couple of scratches in the screen!
Anyway, I thought I would have a go at installing Linux on the device. But after reading various bits I am not any the wiser! I generally use a Mac but I do have an Ubuntu box and access to an xp box. What I would like to do is install linux as an os on the XDA II. What are the links to do this please? I have never done anything like this, so I'll be walking in the dark, is ti going to be possible? Or do I need a degree in technical stuff?
Any help would be much appreciated or maybe there is someone in the uk who has a better idea of what to do with this phone!
Thanks.
Rich

Hi all, so just recently i ordered a knock off android tablet running 2.1, now to be honest it ain't all to crash hot seeing as how slow this runs. I've been doing a bit of looking around to see any way in which i may root this tablet in order to flash a better rom then the current stock rom, but to my dismay i have not located anything such. As it is a knock off there is no official brand name so it is quite hard to locate any real help on rooting this device. here is a link to the product i bought ( [ww w.dealextreme.com/p/compact-7-capacitive-lcd-google-android-2-1-tablet-pc-w-wi-fi-tf-camera-71022 remove the space in the www ) i hope someone can offer me some help on my problem. cheers in advance

Hi I am new to android after years of using iOS. I am interested in rooting my device but I can't find any info on doing so. I'm not sure what gen it is either. I believe it is gen 10. Does anyone have any advice on finding a root? Cheers
same here
Dear humans,
I have this device and found that there is little support for it. Or I might be looking into wrong sections
If anyone has knowledge of rooting this device, please let us know. I really wanted to install some apps that can help it perform better. It goes so slow when apps are installed or just general internet browsing.
Thanks
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:

Morning guys,
I would like to know if some of you experts can help me.
Resuming, I have an Archos 50c Platinum (I know it's an old mobile phone lol), and it has Android version 5.1.
Despite that I went to Archos website looking for an upgrade for it and I ended up "hiting a wall" with no results.
I know a lot about desktops and laptops but to be honest with you guys mobile phones is something that is competly out of my comfort zone.
So, the question is simple, how do I upgrade my mobile from 5.1 version to a higher version?
What do I need to do? Root? if root is necessary what free software is the best to do it? what files should I get to install on my mobile?
What are the steps?
I know, too many questions, but I'm actually completely lost regarding this.
I read several articles, and websites, and watched videos etc etc and the truth is there's so many diferent ways to do the same thing that I prefer to ask "who actually knows" how things should be done properly than "fishing around". That's why I'm here though.
Any help would be great.
Thanks guys
