New to android... note 8 :) - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hello,
I'm new to android... I have a Nokia N97 and I've just bought a Galaxy Note 8 tablet...
I want to know details about (rooting, kernel, recovery, updating, ROMS, ....)

Is there a topic here talking about these things?
Also I've read about upgrading to 4.2.2... is this update official or will damage my warranty?
Thanks in advance

Some "sand grains"
Hi,
Have you ever hacked any android device? (some concepts are valid to all android devices and some are specific).
I could explain some (general) terms and concepts if you want.
Anyway, there is a lot of info in this forum (XDA in general).
Good luck !!

I am sorry to hear your bad experinece, but I have to say that all of us using tools that were not specifically designed for our devices and found on this fantastic forum are AT OUR OWN RISK.
Personally I have more than a year using several OS, soft, etc and never crashed my device.
I enocurage you to not blame a bad programmer never.
It was never intended to harm anyones devices, but there is always a risk that we agree to have when we install something "extra"
Good luck mate
Hi orb3000,

due to there is no official 2.2 from htc you must flash a cooked rom. Within the cooked rom you'll find the flashing procedure.
Thanks but what is cooked rom
First thread, sticky in this section; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 explains it all, you even have video-tutorials

I do agree that you really should read at least some information in the sticky threads before asking such a basic question, but i took the time below anyway, but afterwards please let those sticky's answer your questions
A cooked ROM is either a freshly compiled version of android, or a port. Then there are numerous advantages and addons, the common one is that you always have root-acces, basically "administrative" access to things that stock-roms try to keep you away from.
Cooked roms was especially great some time ago, when android didn't provide tethering support (internet sharing), paid apps was more limited, hardware on phones was more restricted and with cooked roms you could overclock the cpu, move applications to your sdcard and have a linux-kernel that left you with more available RAM.
Then there's often other hacks and cooked roms are almost always faster than stock-roms.
The only disadvantages is that by messing with these kinda things you void your garantuie. Most of the time, rooting is safe and tested before published, but if youre flashing a newe radio-version or spl (a separate part, not the actual ROM) there is a risk for "brick" leaving your phone unusable in some case.
That said, if you experience some kind of hardware issue that you know isnt related to the ROM, you can "unroot" your device, basically put back the original rom so that it doesnt appear modified at the repair center.
Desire is very easy to root, a simple script you run on your computer updates your stock rom with a rooted one, leaving your settings and all as it was, but with root acces and the posibility so change rom if you like
I would suggest, respectfully, that if the OP does not know what a cooked rom is, or that there is no official 2.2 as of yet, that perhaps trying to root may not be something they do until they've read up on it a lot more.

Welcome.
First - and this is important - there is no such thing as a best ROM.
It's too subjective. What suits one user will not necessarily suit another. There are no shortcuts - you've got to try them yourself. Nearly every custom ROM has an introductory description anyway.
Rooting - here is everything you need to know. Read every word, and don't even think of installing before you read every word again. And again. And again.
It's not that hard - just read. Post again if you have problems.

Thanks man for this help
Sorry for interrupting, but what are the factors that make a Rom good, how i can measure when i trying each one ?
To be honest if u do not know, stay stock. It's quite decent.
Since u are still new to this phone, you won't be able to tell immediately the improvements of custom roms and stock roms.
Rooting is not illegal. But it does void warranty. So far I have not seen or heard ppl getting arrested or charged in court for rooting.

I would've posted links but it's not so simple on app, also if you can't be bothered to search and read on complex topics, which might result in you destroying your expensive phone, maybe you shouldn't be undertaking them.
What's wrong with today's society is people expect everything handed to them on a plate, with little or Jo effort on their part.

+1. I agree. People can't be expected to be spoon fed all the time. Just search it! It's that simple.
What else could we expect from a user (OP) whose nickname seems mispelled?
