Hi all. I am new to the android platform. I have had my EVO since launch day, and previously came from the pre.
I am loving this phone, and am really looking to take the plunge into rooting, etc.
I have been doing a lot of reading through forums regarding how to root, ADB, etc.
There seems to be a lot of different info out there, just trying to take it all in.
Anyway..........I was wondering If I could get someone to maybe join me on MSN messenger to maybe help me understand this phone a little more and help me out with Full root access.
This would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time guys/gals.
Anyone willing to help me out with this tomorrow afternoon/evening??

Obviously my google-fu is no good, so I have come here in the hopes of some information!
Firstly, I received an MMS which had a 3gp vid clip - I can't play it. The device doesn't even seem to recognise it.
Secondly, Is there a list of commands anywhere that I can use to setup AEButton Plus? Things such as going straight into a new SMS or MMS.
Any help much appreciated. Thankyou.
*pout*
hehe
Does this overwhelming lack of response mean that no-one can help me? or that my question was so badly worded you couldn't understand it? or that you just don't care?
Can someone at least pls tell me how to play 3gp?
The commands I want are around, I just haven't found them yet - I know there are some in a thread on this site, but it was months ago when I saw that and can't remember where.
After several searches, nothing explains the basic questions. How to upgrade, what are roms, and what steps to take to properly upgrade the software. I personally have a S710 (vox) and would like to upgrade windows and add some nice, SAFE, software, that wont make my new phone act all strange like sooooo many posts I read. It seems that so many add these features, and then there phone no longer works right. Is there a proper way to upgrade? Is there a tutorial somewhere that will walk someone new to smartphones through the process? And what are roms and why are they needed?
If anyone can help answer these questions it would be most helpful and I, and other "newbies", would be eternally grateful.

Hey xda-developer users. I'm am indeed new to this site and I was wondering if anyone can please guide me through a step by step to upgrade my T-Mobile Wing to the best of its ability. I've seen the videos; but still as simple as they look, I still have trouble getting through it all.
I really just need help in getting actually playing youtube videos, Windows 6.1 [or if there is anything better at the moment], and honestly anything that new [like battery status, nice home page, etc] and that could be helpful and for me to use as an advantage to my phone.
Please someone guide me through and shed some light to my question.
I Truly appreciate it!
So I’ve been a member here since the Droid X days and I’ve learned a lot over the years with each device I’ve had but I never really looked into creating ROMs (I always wanted to learn but never got to it).
I know it’s going to be a learning process that takes some time but I’m looking for help on where I should start. Before anyone posts a whole bunch of random looks I’ll say right now that I am a complete beginner when it comes to this stuff. I’ve looked at a bunch on threads and it’s so overwhelming being completely new so I don’t know what’s relevant and what’s not.
From the research I’ve done today I learned about a program called Android Kitchen which from my understanding was used to create and compile ROMs. From what I found it looks like the original dev stopped updating it back in 2013. In the ChefCentral>Android forum it looks like someone else took over and maintains it for Linux. I also came across a variant there called “Assayyed_Kitchenâ€. Is this the same program just made by someone else? I don’t know you tell me? lol
I also plan to learn some Java in the coming months and Android App development. I don’t have a huge interest in making apps right now but who knows maybe I will down the road. I just figured learning Java can only help with learning to make ROMs? Do I even need to know any of it for this kind of stuff?
So basically I’m looking for some guidance on where to start as a complete beginner in learning ROM development. Even someone taking the time to type out a few basic steps explains what the whole process even involves from start to finish would help a lot. For example..
1. Download source
2. Open in this program and blah blah
3. Do your magic and customize this and that
4. Do some more magic and pack it back up and flash
Just understanding the steps would make a huge difference because then I know what to research and what to learn. Hoping this thread gets some good info in it and maybe at some point I can create a complete noob friendly guide in the OP to help others like me who don’t know where to begin. To anyone that takes the time to reply and help out.. THANK YOU!

Here is my blog on the topic. I've also got some interesting* Android Security Research on there that acts as a good Segway into reverse engineering, etc.
The one I am linking is for 6.0.x, and I'll be updating it to 7.x soon, though, the only real difference is the branch you checkout (you should understand what this means after reading my guide), and you'll need to install OpenJDK8 instead of the linked 7 (as 7.x requires this).

Hello,
This is my first post so i want to thank this great community with the help i got so far.
I found this guide: https://gist.github.com/FreddieOliveira/efe850df7ff3951cb62d74bd770dce27
which shows how to run a docker natively on Android, my purpose is to run Home Assistant on an old OP5t i have laying around as it's got way more ram and power of a raspberry and i don't want to spend money on buying another device.
I haven't found any thread about this so far by searching so i wanted to ask if anyone knows of a readily available ROM with needed kernel changes, or went through the process and has any tips on how to do this. I am confidend that with a good amount of time, some hammering and a ton of swearing i'd be able to do it but it would be grat if anyone has done this and can share any readymade compatible ROM.
If not any advice on where to start?
Any kind of help welcome. I'll start to work on it meanwhile.
Best Regards,
Roshi
