I just got a mi pad 4 with a "fake" global rom on it, i really would like to change it into something better like the Havoc rom or simply a Pixel experience.
It's my very first android device so i need a clear help step by step on how do it in the best way possible, i found many tutorials but all seems to be a bit different and i'm really going crazy Can someone be that nice to instruct me truly step by step like someone would do to a 4 years old boy ?
Thanks a lot !

What you are asking to be written is a pain-stalking task and would require hours of work from someone. Just do some research on your part first and then ask for specific help so that people can help you. There are lots of resources scattered around internet, some simple google search would get you going. You can start here.

i know people are busy but ive been trying to theme its just very hard and i was wondering if anybody would take time and teach me the basics of themeing...i know there are guides i would just like someone to maybe take me step by step...im probably not gonna get anybody but if u do decide to thank u sooooo much!
I would say follow the guides and know what it is you are having problems with. Start small with just replacing icons. After icons, try changing the color of something. I doubt you are going to get anyone to walk you through step-by-step without having done anything yourself or at least a better starting point than "I want to theme". If you do get stuck with something, stop by IRC and usually one of the themers is online and could help. But, as I said before, they are much less likely to help you if you aren't trying anything out yourself first, which also holds true for pretty much any other aspect of development and theming.
I would like to learn a little bit about the android OS and all its terminology. I've been rooting and playing w/ firmware for a while now and have no problem following instructions and what not, but I would also like to know why what is happening... is happening. Does that make sense? I hope so.
Perhaps you could point me in the direction of a good guide (pdf maybe ) or book. Maybe there are some good beginner threads here I just can't find.
Thanks!
yeah me too,im very..very..VERY interested to design my own moded rom.
Well you got me beat there my friend. I don't want to make a rom, I just want a greater understanding of how things work behind the scenes, just not too far behind.... if you know what I mean.
Good luck in your endeavours.
Any help here....
I think this thread is already exists..

hi guys, brand new to this forum.
i left iPhone to enter the android world via the Galaxy note....well, what to say, great change, great device, nice system....BUT, FOR GOD'S SAKE, THIS GUYS AT SAMSUNG DON'T HAVE A CLUE OF PROGRAMMING UI!!!!!
so i decided: i switch to the best, meaning i go to install Paranoid Android....
yes yes yes, i know there are a LOT of guides and infos everywhere about that, but, what i want to do is just simply applying step by step procedures and give a feed back to you all...
what i will do is getting here all the infos related to the Galaxy Note Paranoid android rom and installation, making clear and easy how to do the switch, so any new android user like me could know exactly what to do....
here i need some cooperation, senior members and experts: help me out on going on.
i have a rough idea of what to do, but i think the best way to find a way is to walk it ;-)
i'll post down every step i'm about to do, i'll give few hours to everybody to post suggestion then i'll go.
hope that's clear and somebody will follow.....let's star.
1) i'm going to downgrade from ics to Ginger Bread....
specific suggestion and/or guides about that are welcome, i'll start the procedure in 2 hours....see you later!
here i'm, back with a GB version installed on my note.
everything was smooth and easy, thanks to a very cool guide of an italian guy... here is the post: marchintosh.net/2012/02/guida-come-eseguire-il-downgrade-del-firmware-sul-galaxy-note/
follow this site, really rocks...if anybody need that translated, just ask me.
so now....kernel and root....i'm going via odin on windows.
as usual: i'll go in couple of hours, if anybody has something helpful leave that here :-D
see you!

mmm...not very helpful....thank you anyway.....
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:

Hi all, so it seems our device isnt getting much support or anything so I've decided to take the plunge try to learn something about porting and see if i can port something to our device... for me its not such a risk as the phone was basically a gift so if it gets bricked ill be sad but not end of the world sad...
so first off i have a few questions
1 the code name all the phones seem to have dev codenames... and of course i notices in the jmz kernal we are downloading the a3ul kernal. so is this the actual name for our phone.. i ask because there are some stock roms and i thought i could maybe make these the base to start from...
2 can you give me some ideas of comparable phones i checked the htc mini one and two while close they both have different cams so i would like suggestions as to other devices so i can try downloading roms and taking them apart to see what i can find out...
3 to any devs, could you recommend some good sites to give me basics in either A)-porting a rom for us, B)-compiling a rom from some source or lastly and really hope leastly the idea of developing something myself somehow...
thanks
Im no developer, but I have recently been looking into this myself and the XDA University seems to hold some fairly thorough guides, I have just not had the time to start anything yet
