I'm extremely new to android, this is my first android phone. I've done work on the iPhone/iTouch since it was released. I'm not a noob completely, just new to android.
That out of the way, I want to know if it is okay to follow this guide to deodex:

I'm planning on making a complete custom UI theme, but from my research deodexing is the first step to anything.
Also, this may be slightly off topic, but I saw that the root guide here...

saying that the above was in Beta, so now I'm considering doing the other "and then there was root!" guide with the insecure kernel. Is there a performance difference between the two kernels? It looks like the top rooting guide is better because of the apps that come installed.

Post of the time, yes. Just keep looking on here(XDA) and it will pop up sooner or later they all do

So I'm a little lost finding what I am looking for.
I am looking for UCALG1 mostly stock. The only thing I want is de-odex and zip-aligned I want all the Stock Crap and Blaotware then I want to be able to load Faux123's Kernel.
I believe I have a through in my search of the developer section. Any direction would be great.

it looks like that is what you want, the dev left it completely stock and did very basic tweaks to it like the ones you want, deodex, zipalign etc... and u should be able to load kernels with ease, its prerooted and everything. :good: edit. looks perfect for you actually. has everything you are looking for pretty much. good luck

From what I have read, the only differences between the LG1 and LEM, is some updates to some of the apps, and the removal of Google Device Search. so IMHO, LG1 is a downgrade
It's also been theorized that the new OTA fixes the lost IMEI problem, but like I said it's just a theory.
Hi
I am locked on Three and have issues with storage (using about 3GB but tells me i am using 24GB) and I understand that the update to 1.29 should resolve this.
I have been reading around and trying to figure out the safest and simplest way to do this but I must admit to feeling a bit overwhelemed with the different options and possible steps.
I have never rooted a phone before (if that is what I need to do) and would appreciate it if someone could advise what the minimum is I need to do to allow we to get updates without relying on Three?
Thanks
I guess your best bet is to root it and flash a custom ROM.

flash proper kernel (no, I won't provide any links, you have to find it by yourself by using "search" tool... aokp is CM9 [ICS] or CM10 [JB]) and then flash aokp ROM

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts
First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!

To make it short: every rom needs a kernel that it's likely not stock kernel. In every OP of rom it's written which kernel you have to use...
Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

1) I can do this through Odin correct?
2) Ok, what is the most popular rom?
3) Ok.
Should I change my kernel to a different one than stock? My friends said it helps performance and battery life, but I don't know how stable they are. Could someone suggest a good one?
Last time I rooted my old phone I did a bad job of it, I lost all my stuff and I don't want it to happen this time.
If I buy Titanium Backup could this prevent this? I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?
Thank you.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.
