[Q] guidance please, im new on android

Hey everyone
im a new user on android, the thing is that i bought my new htc desire a day ago, and i found out that it doesnt support arabic, it only shows font but not complete words... i heard that there has been found a solution but on rooted phones, my phone version is 2.2,
i would really like to be guided through this, and for instance what is rooting the phone and CM7 and CM6, i also tried searching and i found cyanogen; the website; a good source if i decided to hack my phone to support arabic,
i also would like to know if i can return my phone to factory settings if i decide to after i hack it ? and how can i backup ?
Do you think that if i install cyanogen would be better than the platform that comes with the phone from htc ?
i also knew that ps1 games and others can work on my phone and it has to do with emulators... which is the best emulator and where to download the games from ?
and any other information u might add that might help me would be great
thanks alot in advance
and sorry, i know the questions are too much
ie : u dont need to answer all questions hehe, any helpful answer to any question would be great
my apprectiations to all of u

Hi
Read and Follow this for a complete guide on how to root to flashing, its pretty simple and this guide will help you a lot and it has videos too to make it more simpler to understand.

If you want to ROOT the guide is here: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084, or you can follow the steps here: ht tp://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/300866-guide-rooting-unrevoked-windows-updated-20th-may-2011-a.html. This is the tutorial I used to ROOT, and everything worked perfect.
Also before you ROOT be sure to make a Gold Card.
Instructions and download: h t tp://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
You can go back to your original STOCK ROM with and original RUU, which you can download from here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
Be sure to check your version with the one you download. From Phone go to Settings->About Phone->Software Information and check Baseband Version and Software number.
After you ROOT you can also make a back-up from ClockWorckMod Recovery, which is automatically installed when you ROOT. Also a good back-up application is Titanium Back-up (back-up app, settings etc.).
To run PS1 games you can get FPse app from market.
TO GET THE GAMES IF FORBIDDEN IF YOU DON'T OWN THEM!!!!
Hope this helps you. If you have any more questions post them here.

a great thanks to aamir007 and UsManyDead
but i didnt get wut u mean concerning the games, i downloaded the nintendo emulator and the ps1 as well, after that wut do i do ? do i download the games from the market or from some blogs or wut ???
concerning the root i will do it in a couple of days insha'alla and i will post my questions here if i face any problems, thanks alot mates
and do u personally advice rooting the phone, and is it better than the platform that comes with the phone ? wut do i gain from rooting my phone, for example do i get better performance and such things ?
sorry my questions might look weird but im new user

Hello.
What I meant about games is that you can't ask warez questions here. If you have the apk for android then all you need to do is get the image of the game. This one only you know how and where to get it. GOOGLE.
I think it is good to ROOT your phone since after you root you have a lot more options of what to do with your phone.
To find out what you exactly get after ROOT-ing please read the whole FAQ from here, it explains most of your questions (that you might have): ht tp://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/221212-faq-rooting-updated-2nd-june-2011-a.html

Depends on your needs.
You are currently asking the same questions I asked myself many months ago. Basically, it will all depend on what you want to do with your phone. If it will just be a phone, then there's no need to root it. On the other hand, if you plan to change every single aspect of how your phone looks or behaves, then rooting and "S-OFFing" should be done to it.
Just be prepared for headaches that you might experience. I know there are guides throughout this forum. But not everything will go smoothly. If you do decide to install another ROM, start with a well-tested and stable firmware, then experiment with bleeding-edge ROMs once you become more familiar with troubleshooting.
One more thing: enjoy the adventure! You will love it!

thanks alot guys i really appreciate ur help
honestly co_dominic, im starting to have a headache hehe ! thought it looks quite good

i actually entered to the stock rom ruu website u gave me but i didnt know wut link i should download.. how do i know ??

[Q] How do i root Telus DHD?

Hey everyone!
So I have searched the forums and I have found nothing on rooting the Telus DHD with 2.3.5? I don't know if the Advanced Ace will work because I'm in Canada? I also have read that it wont work with my current DHD or i need to downgrade? iunno, I'm confused. I'm relatively new to the whole "rooting" thing and I have been satisfied with the DHD until now. I was using Go launcher EX so my phone was alright, now im just bored and looking for an upgrade.
If there is already a forum can someone please point me in the correct way. I have tried to download some of the files here including the stock rom file....

The Hack Kit is the only working tool to gain S-OFF and as you read your phone will be downgraded first to achive that (done by the Hack Kit). Use the guide in my signature to find the infromation you need and if you have doubts, visit the thread in my signature. :good:

[Q] Help with Rooting and other stuff...

OK guys, so I bought my HTC Inspire 4g and I am willing to mod it (I post in this forum because I was told that in fact it's the same device). So I am interested in installing this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37060683) on top of a custom kernel, please suggest one (or is it not needed?). So I actually need to root, s-off, bootloader unlock, flash a kernel, flash the rom and be happy . Now, can you please provide me links with instructions for all these? (Rooting, s-off,BL unlock,kernel flashing,rom flashing) and anything else that my phone might need? Thank you you are helping a huge noob!

How to update android ?

Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!
