Encyclopedia Androidica status of your guide!

Or more like the Rooters guide the galaxy.

Man, you should make this a wiki, if you haven't already.

Or an app which can be searcheable.

Hell, why not make it an e-book and sell it, I would buy it for sure!

I mean, it is things like this that saves hours and days of endless looking around for facts that are just scattered and taken for granted (which probably most of encountered when totally new to droids).

This is, by far, the best guide in anything I have seen that is related to android!

Great Post!

One thing I have been looking for is a summary of the filesystem.

For example, in a clean Android system, a summary of the basic folders/subfolders and what they contain (not necessarily the individual files, but just a description of what they are intended to hold).

The partition section of the OP's post is a great start! If anyone can point me to additional info, I'll summarize and PM the OP with what I find.
[Android General] Diablo67:

Thats alot of stuff,lol,i will work on that though.When i get time,since i develope roms,i wil post that.
[Android General] redknightalex:
Not sure if you'll still be adding/updating this thread, but I just had to mention that this is one of my favorite threads/guides on all of XDA. It was one of the first guides I opened when I joined months ago and I've had the tab pinned ever since, constantly going back to keep reading when I have the time or brush up on some concepts.

Thank you so much for this guide: it gives us mewbies no excuse for being, well, newbies! Bravo! :)

(Ever thought of adding a section for additional reading? I know, blasphemy, but maybe there are a few in-print/ebooks that you used to learned or specific threads here that started you off on your quest of learning. I'd be interested to see if you had any suggestions in this area.)
[Android General] DarkGeekMSZ:

Thanks For That guide A lot
[Android General] WiW:
This is a great post. I have written a guide myself on some Android basics, I'd appreciate if you could take a look. The part which is missing most is terminology, so I think if these can be combined, it would be great.

http://goo.gl/CPp0E

Please let me know if I can use this post in my guide, or if you would like to help me out. I think a joined community effort is far better than everyone working on their own.

The only thing, that is wrong, is that it is two microprocessors. Would is right, is:

A dual core CPU, is a simple physical processor, which has the capability, of generating TWO logical processors. After creating the logical processor/s, the CPU multilys it's clock speed, and passes it on (Divided by the no. of cores) to the generic cores.

Alphabetical order is nice for those whom are searching for specific term. :cool:

But someone "noob" :confused: like myself can't get the most out of it. I prefer a comprehensive definition of terms in order of majority to minority in two specific sections of hardware and software. This can begin with term "android" for example.:rolleyes:

BEST Page in the WORLD for ROM Developers!

Thank you!! :laugh: This was sooo helpful!!! :laugh: :laugh: When nobody was there who could explain me what's a Custom ROM, what's RUU, rooting, Kernel, bootloader, THIS PAGE HELPED. :D

Had this page not been there, I wouldn't be at XDA and this post wouldn't exist. Thank you very much for this so so useful post!!:laugh:

I really liked this way of explanation!!

It would be great if you post a thread like this about this-

A Complete Guide Giving Each And Every Reason about each and every step for rooting and unrooting.

For eg: The reason behind unlocking the bootloader when rooting a phone, etc. (a step by step guide which shows general steps to root Android phones and tells the reason about performing every step.)

Also, A guide showing basic steps to unroot an Android phone.

PLEASE... IF YOU POST A THEAD LIKE THIS, IT WOULD BE VERY VERY USEFULL FOR "ANYONE" AND "EVERYONE". :laugh:

Completely agree, why is it a good idea to unlock the bootloader?
[Android General] Paresh Kalinani:
It's not a good idea, it's necessary!

It's necessary to unlock the bootloader buddy..

We can't modify/do any sort of crap or anything with the OS if the bootloader isn't unlocked. The locked bootloader will never allow is to do anything to the OS files. And it'll always load the OS in the same way as it was said when the manufacturer manufactured the phone.
