Hello all, I come from the sgh-t959 forums. I just purchased an S4 (rogers variant) about an hour ago, and now I'm eager to learn what fun stuff I can do with this. So I have a few questions to ask you to feel more comfortable with this phone .
Are different roms worth putting on? I only cm on my old phone because stock was 2.3.6, this bad boy runs 4.3.
I found the root procedure for my phone, will it the procedure work on the new firmware? (Link below to the procedure I'm referring to)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 = link to the auto root thread I was talking to above
Is there any fun tweak's I should be aware of to put on it?
Any apps that are most have on it?
Can't wait to get this baby to the latest android.
Any links or information related to my phone model are much appreciated, because theirs so much to sort through.
So yeah, hello Samsung S4 section of XDA, I hope I'll get along with you all.

I am a noob here until further notice
You need to read the "pinned" threads in the 'general" and "Q&A" sections before you do anything. Almost all questions about the S4 have already been asked and most of the answers can be found in those threads or through the threads linked in them. The search function will also be useful. Make sure you follow the XDA rules and search before asking. Above all, remember, this is a development site. It is up to you to search read and learn about your device before you do anything to it. If you follow these suggestions, you should do just fine. Good luck.
Ahhh perfect, can you delete your post so I can delete this thread?
Edit: MODZZZ delete my noobish thread please/

Ok, first off i'll say i don't have much android knowledge. I did successfully root it following a video. I now have one click lag fix installed. Now, someone please answer these for me
1. Now that its already rooted successfully, is bricking still possible? or is that only something that happens during trying to root.
2. What is a good way to backup everything on my phone? and where do i find it?
3. What are cool apps or widgets to have that can only be used on a rooted phone?
4. Lastly, will someone point me in the direction of a manual or instructions on how to install custom roms and how to get froyo.
Thanks!!
No offense, but did you try searching the forums prior to posting this? All of these questions have been asked and answered many, many times already.
yeah but id really like them answered how i asked them that way i don't **** my phone up because i don't have the most knowledge, i appreciate it though. If you don't mind would you provide some links for me please?
Look at the sticky on the top of the page.
The sticky literally answers your questions in that order. No joke.
And the Dev section has a similar sticky in it when you are good and ready.

Hi there. I have a Galaxy Tab that I use strictly for testing some websites. I bought it without any kind of data plan or anything from AT&T - strictly wifi. In the rest of my life I'm mostly an iOS user, so I'm not familiar with the inner voodoo of Android at all.
I just want to update my Galaxy Tab from 2.2 to 2.3. Googling "how to update galaxy tab to 2.3" yields all kinds of insanity about flashing and rooting. I don't even know what this stuff means.
I'll appreciate any patient, step-by-step advice to get me down the road a bit. Appreciate the help in advance.
Dl and flash overcome. Follow instructions in the thread

Start by reading the sticky threads in each section....
Then head into the development section and find a ROM that is appropriate for your version of tab.
Follow the instructions in the thread.
Profit??
Any questions, please search thouroughly using as descriptive a query as possible, google is your friend, xda search is a tempremental beast.
If you still cant find an answer, head over to the Q&A section....
Good luck & Happy flashing.
Hello everyone, this is my first post at xda! Anyways, I have an un-rooted HTC Droid Incredible running an un-modded version of Android (2.3.4 stock rom). I am new to rooting and have never done it before but I am good with technology. So my objective is to root it and get the most stable build of ICS onto it with the easiest possible steps. If anyone wants to help out with a step-by-step tutorial that would be great! Thanks
Check out the stickies in each sub forum. Read, read and re-read them. There's a lot of info to absorb and terms to understand. Everyone here is easy going and willing to help. Read and search, you'll be fine.
Knowing is half the battle.

Hi and welcome to the forum. While I appreciate this is your first post, when you signed up you agreed to the rules of the forum and the first and most important is to search before posting as what you need is more than likely already available or been asked before. If your searches are unsuccessful then do go ahead and ask your questions but post in the correct section of the forum, i.e. questions go in the Q&A section. This information is readily available via a search as has been advised already which shows you've not searched before posting. This thread is therefore closed.
Thanks

There's a nice thread about MK2 root in the general section. Pretty hard to miss. Do a good amount of searching next time.
Please read the rules before posting, pay particular attention to rule #1:
Code:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.
Also, to make a suggestion,if you're unsure what you're doing with your device, ask. Don't do anything, just search and read, learn and ask. Visit the above mentioned thread, it's full of useful information.

First off, questions go in Q&A, and will be marked with a [Q] before the title.
Secondly, you didn't provide what version of Android you were running.
I'm guessing here, but you may be running the leaked 4.4 Samsung ROM, if so, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215
If not, then I have no idea.
So far you have created 3 threads for this request:
RULE 5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
I created one thread but it was in the wrong place. Someone told me to put it in the right place. Since I can't move threads I had to create a new one. I didn't realize the original guide was one this forum until later.
