What is kernel and what is ROM??sorry for my bad english
Sent from my SK17i using XDA
You can find answers here.
If you search, we'll glad you.
But I think you wont, so i'll explain to u:
ROM is the cellphone operating system version. Android is known as a very customiseble SO, so each rpm have its pros and cons. But it is MAINLY visible, so, each rom is for a especific model of cellphonex with just a few hardware and driver changed
Kernel is the basis of the SO. As android is Linux-Based, it is the SO code where have the drivers, and this kinds of stuff.
Now, learn to search, and my post helped you, use the thank button.
And next time post in Q&A forum.

Already explained by other XDA member, but if there are lots of other words, that you don't know, just take a peek in my tutorial, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792, I have explained myself lots of words there.
If you see more words, that you don't know and are not in that tutorial, let me know, I will add them
Haha now i know what brick means..thnx dude

These kinda questions will be better served by Google, so search for it with there and you will get loads of guides and tutorial . You can even search xda for the same
#*posted on the move *#
Im asking here because the best developers are here.
I dont want detail tutorial only programs and few steps to start.

Best bet is to check google still (it has tutorials and/or how to begin) or possibly contacting some devs who MIGHT be willing to help. Most devs dont even really check out Q/A section.
Hi guys I haven't found a topic yet where to find an installation guide for the first release candidate of CM9
I'm new to roms installation and I was looking for a detailed guide or someone that explain me how to...
I'm running a stock kernel, a stock rooted rom (ics 4.0.3 xwlp7) and I haven't installed the Cwm I have it in the internal storage memory and I have to flash it every time I need to use it
That's all
My questions are:
I need a particular kernel? How to change it?
I need Cwm installed or I can leave it like it is now?
I need doing or I can just flash it from the device?
Thanks

Well, I think if you can't figure out the answers using the search function, and opening a thread for this in the original development section it would be better not to install CM9...
Have you even tried to Google that? C'mon, there are so many guides out there! Don't be that lazy! Oh, and next time write in the right section.

Use the noob proof odin method. After that you may update to a nightly of your choice (or rc1)...

I don't think you should be flashing ROM's if you don't know how to even get CyanogenMod on your phone.

Read and figure it out on your own. If you don't, you're going to be dependent on other people the whole time you do anything to your device. It's your device, do some research on your own.

Typing in all caps is not helping you get your point across.
This is a community, yes. But it's supposed to be a community of developers and hackers. Or at the very least, people who come here wanting to research and learn. But since everyone and their mother now joins and expects to have information spoon-fed to them, it's become a community, as you said, of "users"; i.e. people who simply use.
My point - the information you were seeking could have been found with a search. Rule #1 of the forum rules is:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Hell, the instructions for installing CM9 are - surprise, surprise, in the CM9 thread. The same thread that had links to download it. You clearly were able to find it to download it, so did you just skip over the instructions on how to flash?
Give this a read.
Writing in caps doesn't solve anything, you were told what you should have been told, not to discourage you but to save you bricking your phone.
If you can't read few stickies, can't read few threads, that's what you will get.
Read them, than ask and you will be surprised how many will actually help you.
i was not doing controversy, caps was not intended (working i have to use it)
I was just saying that if someone needs help you could at least direct it in the right direction, instead of always criticizing that's all I know how to use the "search" but obviously I did not have any clear answers to my questions that's why I opened a topic in hopes of getting answers. I've had no answers, I had to assume and tests.
fortunally everything went well
Its suppose to be a community of android developers (note: The name of this website!!!)
No one is required to help another person, they choose to help. Some people were nice enough to post guides, faq and etc. The majority of all questions or problems asked has an answer or solution posted. It is the responsibility of the user to search and read them.
Any new users should read the stickies FIRST before posting. Every one of your questions has answers in the stickies. If people dont bother reading guides and faqs, they have a higher chance of ruining their phone.
As you said, there was a guide, you followed it and solved it yourself. Why didnt you simply search for it, BEFORE you posted this.
Not ashamed of the word cause everyone has to start off somewhere.
Yes I am new to android development and i really could use some pointers.
I have 0 experience with Java ... and i am trying to learn the easy way at least to get me started.
i've heard of a product thats supposed to make things super easy called "Livecode" ... its supposed to be multi-platform and they just released their android version of the product.
please make recommendations / advise.
thank you.

Thanks for the reply, DROIDRAZ.
The thing is i am not too keen on learning java at the moment. That would consume so much time.
I think something like livecode would be a good solution for my current situation.
So before i go and purchase livecode is there anything else like it that you guys may recommend?
I've learn quite a few from newboston YouTube video, as well as from Stackoverflow.
And we have our own forum user creating easy tutorials with explanation for us ->

Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

Hi guys, I've been playing around with the Pegususq governor in setcpu this past while and have gotten pretty good results of which I will post as a soon as I'm happy with them but I'm not quite sure how the hotplug part works, I understand the concept but not sure about the settings and since our phones have 4 cpus, it make thing more confusing.
I've looked at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
And I gives a pretty go explanation of Pegususq but not the hotplug part.
So my question is what do all the settings do (with regards to our quad core devices).
Also if possible, if someone knows of literature other than the above could they please point me to it.
Thanx a bunch
There are not four CPU's. There is one CPU with FOUR cores.

Your pedantic post is pointless. But I'll edit my post because my error obviously has a critical effect on my question even though I correctly mentioned it further on in the post.
Well you brackground makes you a noob. I was correcting you. You were wrong, get over it. I dislike when people go about spreading wrong information. I dont use any special tweaks or kernels. Stock everything for awhile so I don't know the tweak names or settings name. Cant help you there until i do it. I dont give information i know is wrong. So i am not gonna give you false information until i test stuff.

Your grammar makes you an idiot. So are we even then?
So if you stated that you don't know anything about what I'm asking then why are you posting? Who's the noob here?
Well no I am not a noob. You can look at my XDA history. You are one of those people who thinks this is a support forum. XDA is NOT a support forum. It is (was/supposed to be) a developers forum.
No a NOOB is defined as-
1.) Someone who constantly asks for help with the most simplest things. IE. Root/flashing/stupid questions.
2.) Someone who constantly disregards the rules and feels entitled to do and say as they want.
3.) A novice or new user who is too lazy to read the over simplified rules/guides/and instructions given directly too them by other members.
I don't know about all the kernel governors, tweaks, schedulers, ROM/kernel features. I do know how to build kernels and ROMs. I do know to search before I ask because it has most likely been answered. So do you see? I am not a noob.

Look, READ my first post kid. I was asking a question with the hope of aiding development because on I9300 some people still experience lag. You can see that I've searched and I don't have a bricked device so I don't need help with the simplest of things. Your little meter doesn't impress me so why don't you stick to your own phones platform and have another big Mac you condescending yank.
First off i have an international s3 too. I am done here though. Not gonna argue with someone who is just here to argue.

You two kids are funny, but you'll be signaled to mods as your posts are violating xda rules.
And by the way xda is not only a dev site, or you wouldn't have learnt all the little you know.
And mister second post, if you don't bring an answer to the question, please don't answer, you'll save our time.
Everyone shut up.
Thanks.

Wipe as you would normally for installing a new ROM(this is considered optional). Then select "restore" instead of " install". Chose your backup.
Please please please at least attempt to research before posting!!!!

OP ...
It's also a very good idea to wipe the system when setting up for a restore.
New roms will often wipe the system for you, but a restore generally will not.
Just a tip for clean restores.
And regarding the jab about posting.....
The forum is overflowing with new threads asking the same questions repeatedly.
It takes up so much space, that navigation becomes very difficult, and it detracts users when searching for information in the open forums.
As mentioned above, a quick search would have given you the answer to your question.
It certainly does not mean that we don't want to help, it just means that your answer is likely waiting in a quick search, rather than posting a repeat thread that takes up much needed space.
No hard feelings here, and happy flashing ....g

almost makes you wish they would enact some sort of rule that forces anyone with <10 posts to prove that they know how to search on this forum...and then the sarcasm about how he already knew everything that was presented to him...just too much..
Noobs just don't understand that this is NOT an "instructional forum", it is a DEVELOPMENT forum, meant for experienced phone developers, NOT for Noobs that break their phones because they don't know WTF they are doing...
I thought i was up out of the dev part of the forums into the noob q&a. My apologies to all. And thank you gregsarg and mojoe for answers. I WILL try to find answers by searching.

Yeah your right. I dont know much but i do search but when searching from phone its hard to get the answers sometimes. Seems like if you have enough posts you can ask about anything and get away with it. With a low number not so much.. Right?

No....
There are no exemptions based on post count or self-imposed status here.
Post count means nothing, as anyone can post, regardless of the topic. (good or bad)(users just fail to read the rules)
The problems arise when the first rule of XDA is broken. and that of course, is to search before posting. Bandwidth and server space is not cheap, and this is ultimately a development site, not a nursery for people to learn how to boot into download mode etc. Those questions were answered a year ago when this device hit the shelves.
And as I mentioned above, the multi-QA threads covering the site, will bury the threads that contain the help users need to get answers.
It's the self-feeding effect, and it log jams the site something aweful. So when a search is conducted, the only results that come back are threads asking repeat questions, and no answers. (Make sense? ) And we are left with even more threads stating..."I searched, but I cant find it"...
And thats no lie under those conditions. So you see, that is why Senior members will jump on newer users to search first, rather than post a repeat thread. It often avoids the domino effect, leaving the "solved" threads visible to help people out.
I am simply a user who chooses to stay and help others avoid costly mistakes, using the knowledge I've gained here. I started on this site after reading every thread on the device I used at the time. And did not post unless it was an absolute emergency. (never really had any of those).
Soon after, I began to help others with basic questions, and gathered up a sizable number of posts through helping and giving back for the amazing work freely offered here.
Honestly, dont be afraid to post, just make sure you have exhausted the search method to the best of the site's ability to give you answers.
and after that, let us know you need a hand.
Too easy, and we will help you any way we can.....g
OK. Thanks. Great way of explaining the system and situation..Thanks Again

It's a waste of time to spend 2 years on a website, gaining knowledge about devices, and do nothing with that knowledge.
I decided after hard bricking a new phone that was entrusted to me, that I'd study, give back, and save folks the trouble if possible.
I'm not at the development level, but I can pretty much dial in the issues people are having by sight.
I miss a few here and there, (old guy )...but for the most part I get the device going again.
I tell all users, especially new users, to read every part of the mods they attempt, then read it again.
Android is all about comprehensive understanding of the processes at work.
And it takes years to master. (I'm not a master)...And the time spent by our talented developers is wasted if folks won't read and learn.
Hundreds, even thousands of hours are freely given to us by them, in the form of roms, tweaks, and fixes....all free.
We owe them the respect to read and comprehend the offerings they provide.
And a little beer money sent their way never hurts either.
Thank you for the kind words....as they make the time spent here, much more pleasurable.
And if you don't want to post a question in the open forum, just PM me...
I'll do my best to help, and if I can't answer the question, I'll find someone for you that can.
We succeed by learning and giving back to the community...
Words we all should strive to live by here ....g
