OK welcome mate ,
First you have to find your device forum on xda , I am saying this because unlike other social medias - in xda each devices are different communities.
If you wanna improve your phone's UI , speed and something like that , you have to install a custom rom that is designed for your device (custom roms are created by other people, so there is a chance to get brick or losing some features from your device )
Just have a look at this:- http://www.google.com/url?q=http://...kQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNGysPYLhtTr9LFpYLPtXE5JV679Xg
In xda , there is a button called thanks button , just press it if I help you
hey I'm interested to know how you accomplished this

Hey I'm Salena, I'm surprised you say you rooted the lg volt 4.4.2 kit Kat I've only had mine for a couple weeks now and have been researching how to root it since day one. I've always rooted any device I have usually it's not rocket science, but I've had a damn hard time figuring this one out, I'm on boost but I believe it's the same kernal version as Verizon . Plz share this helpful info with a fellow hacker, also nice to introduce yourself, welcome

a ROM is the software on your phone.
a kernel is the linux kernel (google "linux kernel") that underpins it.
If you want to customise, definitely get Android
Take a look in the forum for your device, and read at the stickies
Thanks!...will do

Forgive me if this has been asked a before, but I just pulled the trigger on the Virgin Mobile version of the Galaxy S3. I had been reading about the wonderful CyanogenMods that are avail, but now I think they were talking about the internation version of the phone?
I need an upgrade from my old LG Optimus V, and will be VERY disappointed if I can't CM it! WIll I be able to mod this new phone with a nifty CM after it arrives? Maybe with a Sprint CM...??

Head over to Android Forums, there is a forum specifically for rooted VM users that will give you a lot more answers. We use the Sprint ROM's, but you have to know what you are doing. CM11 runs perfectly for me, it is one of my favorite ROM's, along with CyanFox, but again, you have to know how to modify a couple of things (it's easy, don't worry) in order to flash the Sprint ROM's properly. Once you know how, the XDA forums for Sprint SGS3 are a great resource for finding other ROM's to flash.

Whew! Okay, sounds like I'm going to be fine... (I've been flashing CM ROMs on the Optimus V for, like, 3 years...so I would assume I wouldn't be too baffled by what's required to get the S3 CM'd... If there are clear instructions, I should be smilin' by next week! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the advice!

Hello everyone,
I need some help with my phone. I have a Motorola RAZR MAXX (not HD). My carrier is Ntelos which is regional cell company in WV and Va. I have had this phone for about a year and a half. I am able to get a new phone in October. This one is starting to give me some fits so I think it is time to "tweak" it. I have put in a custom ROM before (Cyanogen - couple of years ago on older phone) so I am pretty sure I can handle it. I just need to know which one is best for my phone. I will put some of the phone specs below. Thanks
SYSTEM VERSION
6.16.300.XT908.ACG-nTelos.en.US
ANDROID VERSION
4.0.4
KERNAL VERSION
3.0.8-ga0b5673
I hope this helps and that you can help me.

"Best ROM/Kernel" questions are not allowed (really tolerated) on this forum. If you're lucky someone will politely tell you to try them all & decide for yourself. Typical response trend toward being flamed. So, while you can, run for your phone's development forum & start researching ROMs.
Good luck.

I've been researching for some time. Friend has same phone on nTelos. I will dare to ask here for help. Flame me if that is what happens in this thread...
BTW, I really just want to know if it is possible to flash / root the thing. If I get on that path I shoudl be able to find a suitable ROM.
TIA.

You really found nothing in phone's development forum that answered your question?
It may be the answer is it can't be done on xt908 on nTelos. That is what I saw. So I asked here.

Hi Everyone! Been a long time for me and was wonder if I could get some help weeding through all the xda posts regarding the LG G3..
I'll be using Google and doing my own searches as well, just wanted to know if anyone can point me to:
Phone mapping off partitions and any other useful info you might think I would need to know of.
Just Got my LG G3 This weekend and trying to get to know her a bit better, already rooted and recovery flashed...
Happy modding!

Hey everyone. So I haven't really done much since I got my N4 besides root it. But I did recently flash a ROM (Alliance). It is the best ROM to me. So I gave it ago after being stock for so long. Anyway Alliance ROM has been making frustrated because there is always something I can't read when using their theme manager. So I want to see what else is out there. A lot of the ROM look like they haven't been updated a lot. But I am open to suggestions. What do you guys suggest? What are you running?

2 different people with the exact same phones can have different user experiences (likes/dislikes) about the same rom. Its best to make a back up and flash what appeals to you. That question is kind of frowned upon, as honest as it is. Id check and read the OPs and check the most recent comments in that roms thread to get an idea of whats being posted and does it suggest a lot of people are having issues or most of the people are happy.
I need more coffee. Excuse me would ya.
