XDA Mentioned in Popular Science - About xda-developers.com

Hey guys, im reading the new Popular Science magazine and theres an article about customizing your android phone, and they say to visit XDA to learn how to root your phone, as well as install a custom ROM.
They also mention Rom Manager as an easy way to get ROMs.
Just thought id let you guys know

Interesting

We are all over the WWW as a reference point

I love the part where they mention and actually encourage you to root your device and then mention that it voids you warranty but then also that you can unroot.
Props to ALL THE DEVS who have made everything we enjoy possible.

Xda will take over the world one day.

Nice: I have noticed xda being referenced in many online sites (like mobilecrunch) as wel as in the good old fashioned hardcopy magazines.
Probs to all the people making this site the place to visit for all mobile phone related tips & tricks, dev work and Q&A

Personally, I Agree With Him. This Is The Best Phone On Sprint And Yet NOBODY Is Giving It ANY ICS Love. Somebody PLEASE Prove Me Otherwise.
I am happy with Gingerbread
Tried ICS on my Nexus s 4g, no great shakes...I am happy with Gingerbread on this phone ... once ICS is officially released the devs will make it even better here..
Not trying to be rude to the OP but someone please delete this thread. We had way too many problems with the last one.
There are forces at work on ics for our phone already. I hate the saying but 'patience is a virtue'. Just hand tight. I'm guessing that by the end of Feb at the latest we will have an ics rom
Based on previous experience and XDA's general disdain for these bounty threads - closing this thread. ICS is in the works but it's not so easy. Bounty threads don't work - period.

Are you a NOOB? Stay away and ask questions in other thread

*NON-NOOB FORUM FOR SGS3*
Xda community,
I decided to start this thread to help some oldcomers along. Senior members feel free to ask any questions in here. I'll point you in the right direction and tell you how I found that information.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A NOOB IF..
- You are new to rooting
- You are new to flashing roms
- New to adb, fast boot, drivers, bootloaders
- You don't understand the terminology
- You don't know the difference between a rom and a kernel
- You don't know how to use XDA forums
- You can't explain what rooting is and what it does
Is this a joke? Now we have 3 Q&A threads...

On some real sh*t, definitely feels like some apple/samsung type shhiit going on lmao .. As long as its cutting back on confusion..
I'm sure the "old comers" already know where to look and what to look for. Besides xda does have a search feature.

When will people learn? There is no best ROM. Go and try them out yourself, there is no best for everybody. Download one, give it a try, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, take another one. We can't tell you, which one is the best.
Besides, there have been many topics about that. Use search tool, you will see all such topics are locked for a reason. And so will this one.
This kind of questions keep coming out on Q&A. We need to add a sticky about this best rom issue.
Need mod to close thread.

HUGE request!!

I know this is a long shot, a veeeerrrry long shot BUT, its still worth it.
Who has used WebOS? Who misses it? I know I do, and would love to see it running on my E4GT. Seeing as HP open sourced it and a team of developers started porting it over to android, I was wondering if any of our devs would be interested in giving it a shot??
Just trying to keep this bad boy alive and miss how awesome WebOS was and can't believe devs didn't back with apps.
I guess Palm and HP had a very poor marketing team. Anyway here's the link!

I've always been interested, but sadly I can't develop roms..
I believe something like this would require a custom built kernel specifically for WebOS. Which I don't see it happening.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Correct, and with us having no kernel devs (they are always the first to move on lol) it's not very likely.. I bet it would run better than any Palm/HP device ever ran it tho lol
