phone noob interested in learning all i can - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello internet, my name is jackson, im 25 years old from australia, and have absolutely no idea how a telephone works and i am interested in learning all i can about the android phone.
i do apologise if there is an existing post of similar nature or if im posting in the wrong section.
i have zero knowledge in customising phones, dont have any party tricks and feel confident that my phones have been spied on in the past.
defending myself from hackers and secure top secret encryption for random data i want kept secret are my priorities, but id like to learn all there is to know. i dont know anything and google does my head.
please if someone could direct me to some helpful articles for begginers id appreciate it, i dont even know anything lol.

Not possible, in my opinion. Because that might put this forum in trouble (legally).
So, don't think it will be possible.
BTW, no all caps please. Its consider rude.
sorry fr caps but was really angry wid that person while posting this thread...
here is the full story

@Addicted: Not if we just share our experiences with different vendors/shops using the "right langauge". Sharing experiences is not a crime, declaring someone bad causing damage to a business may be a crime. So share both good and bad ones.
But based on my experience, these kind of threads loose their meaning after some time when they become really long. Look at thinkdigit.com forums (if you are a reader of the popular technology magazine Digit, or if you even know about it), there are many such examples. Ankit can tell you better, he is also a member there like me.

Yes, I understand. Basically you need proof to substantiate your claim. Like I have a very serious complaint against HTC, NONE of their dealers in Kolkata keep HTC accessories . So what kind of pple do they make their dealers .
And thanks to xda, i can't go beyond HTC

[Q] Where i can get a custom rom made?

Hi Guys,
I am not new here but had to create a new account as i forgot my login details as i gave up a little signing on looking for a rom that was native BT5 for the xoom which was the reason i got it. But i have a question i hope you can answer. Here goes.....
I have a client of mine who has bought a huge supply of Samsung Galaxy SIII and wants me to source a secure software to encrypt everything. I have no idea on who i need to speak to or how to go about it. But basically I need the most current ROM for the SIII, but with some extra features that not only encrypt and secure all connection but also open a few options.
Just so you know there is nothing dodgy about this but my British community live in spain where we are blocked on many english sites for things such as gambling watching online tv e.t.c
Money isn't a problem if i find the right person but i know this isn't the marketplace and so i am not looking from here. I just want your advice on where to look and who is the best person or people to speak to.
I am not a novice but i'm not an expert. I am completely genuine and have no issue giving out my number to chat or anything else that may be required. I just want to find someone who's good and i promise this will benefit most XDA users by the finished product.
All the best Lyndon

I appreciate the fact you replied but it isn't the answer i'm looking for. I'm not necessarily asking for a developer from here just direction on finding one somewhere. The reason I placed it here is I know the developers here work hard and i appreciate that but I have funding that might help the development for the end user and the developers aren't going to be working there butts of for nothing and might enjoy the challenge and the potential earnings.
I know this isn't the place for selling or buying but I could make the right people the money they need to support the next year of development for one or more devices and so i would appreciate productive answers. My strongest still is networking and I get all kinds of requests i don't deal with time wasters or people who deal false hope. So i'm looking for someone with the skills and dedication that could get this done and not a bull answer that is fed to people to keep them quiet.
I agree that developers work hard, I think everyone who downloads something that they want/need that has been developed free should donate and i believe that the developers are skilled individuals that haven't just sat there clicking the start button and have got off the arses and learnt multiple O/S's and mastered terminal/console/CMD while understanding the science of computing. I myself have spent hours watching computer science leasons on itunesU spent time learning PHP,HTML,MYSQL, CompTIA A+,Networking+ & Security+ videos along with ethical hacking courses. I have windows xp,7 & 8, Mint, Backtrack, Snow Leopard & Mountain Lion, Android, Windows Phone & IOS. So i am more than aware of there capabilities and hard work they provide to the majority of people who don't even say thank you and the even fewer people that donate.
But i am not here to ask what do i do to learn it myself, I'm not even asking for someone here to do it, Just where to look to find someone who wants to earn money doing what they do in a time where no-one has work. So please answer constructively.
All the best Lyndon
Im trying to be as helpful as possible but I could sit here and recommend all the developers involved in S3 development because they all do an outstanding job, your best bet is to contact them directly and ask for advice

what's more important: the idea or the programming?

i have a great idea for an android app (i'm sure you've heard that before!). but really, it's intriguing enough for me to consider either pitching to a programmer OR learning myself. i don't know how important just having the idea/funding is vs. doing it myself. plus there is always the issue of someone stealing your idea if you hire an outside programmer. thoughts?
if you want to earn money then idea, if you want customer satisfaction then programming
how do you go about finding someone to program that you can trust and won't steal your idea? there are thousand of apps out there, surely someone has done this.

Help creating an app for personal use?

I'm in a bad situation and I need to install or create/modify a completely hidden screen recording program on my phone. I don't really want to talk about the details of the program in open forum and would rather discuss via PM. I'm trying to find out if my husband is really my attacker and he's well versed in how to use my phone. Long story short, I think he's using my phone for some pretty messed up stuff. I don't want to accuse him of it or ask because if I'm wrong then it could really destroy my relationship. He's really good at covering his tracks and this is the only way I will know without risking our relationship over a misunderstanding. It would be nice for security purposes if I am wrong, I guess.
There's a bunch of programs out there and I'll say this in one sentence. None of them work properly if at all.
I have no clue what I'm doing at all, I'm just very confused and concerned.

do Samsung Galaxy phones spy on the user?

Hi all. so I've been thinking about getting the s9+, but there is so much talk about them spying on their users, I know we can't just believe anything we read online these days so I thought I'd ask here.
So I'm looking to get some good answers from real programers and people who actually know what they are talking about, so if your a programmer or just a more advanced Android user and know anything about the code, please share your opinions.
Spying on users? If there was actually any hard evidence of that in public, it would be pretty well publicised. Your post is paradoxical, you acknowledge that you can't just believe anything you read online but you're online asking this very question. If you want a real answer, you'd have to hire a company to audit their software. Considering though that these devices are used by many many companies as business devices (Many of which will have already conducted audits), I'd say they're probably safe. Even if there is some form of deep spying going on, they're probably not interested in you.
Biggest joke ever:good:
How will be they able to spy on you.
spy who spies?
we all give our information of our own volition, for this you use social networks and various online platforms, everything learns from you what you like, what you use, what interests you to give you a better experience, unfortunately everything is recorded and if it can be used badly, but it is concern only for important people not for a normal user calm haha
