What are all the cool things you can do

Once you root your phone.. I'm newly rooted and would like to start playing. I've flashed a few roms so I got that part down, but what apps or programs or tricks are cool on a rooted nexus one?
WHAT YALL DO WITH YOUR ROOTED N1.

Here's one cool thing, its called..
Searching ^.^

I don't wanna start a new thread for another question, but Is there a swype type keyboard for android.? I swear I saw one before but can find it...

I did. Thanks bro. Search here and ppcgeeks sucks...
That's the number one response I hate... search... lmaooo.
Trust me I'd rather do that then wait for someone to answer with a smart ass answer like that..
Oh and I'm doing this from my phone and the search is being weird..

There is, I'm using it, and it's way past beta.
Search the forums, there's a thread about it, and on a last page some nice dude posted a link to a post-beta Swype for N1. It's 100% working for me.

Oh trust me, its better that I've said than the 1000 other people who are/were going to say it. I thought to myself "I'm never going to be the one who tells others to search", but because even I have seen the question asked so many times.. guess it was one of the things that I thought should've been done first.

Themes, overclocking, extra RAM, deleting system apps, installing root required apps (such as Nexus Tourch) trackball colors, updates before everyone else (extra RAM, etc.), installing different Android Phones per-se (Desire).. lots of stuff ;/

For me, one of the best things after rooting is actually wifi tethering.

help with android/rom?

hey guys, i think i am trying to to install a new rom. what i am trying to do is dual boot wm 6.5 and android, if thats possible, i have tried searching for stuff, but i get not enough info in some places, and too much in others, here are some links to stuff i have found so far:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
can anyone help me out with this? its a lot of info for me, and i dont know what to do/ look at
i have read all the newbie and noob posts out there, so dont tell me to go read them
id like someone to tell me exactly what to download and how to run it to effectivly get android running on my device, dual boot if possible, id like to keep wm 6.5 but also have android. id also like to have a back up rom that is completly "stock" unless a hard reset will erase everything and put it back to "stock" incase i need to sell the device, or just go back.
im sure i am missing a few things, so any help would be greatly appreciated, i really need to get this done, because as of right now, i am not to happy with my device with just wm 6.5 and i cant afford to take a loss and sell it back...
i also may be wrong with some of my terminology, so what i understand is with dual booting i can run wm 6.5 just like i have now and use CHT and stuff, or i can run an android UI like the real android devices?
like i said, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i really need to get this accomplished,
thanks,
PBLeonidus

come on, now one knows how to get android running on their device?
please, i need help with this!
also, how or where can i get a registry editor? preferably a .cab file?

dont worry i got it working. thanks for all the help from those that posted! (obviously being sarcastic as no one posted anything)
if any one wants to know, i used max energy Co0kie Energy ROM
with the latest froyo stone android file thing
and a dual booter, ran into a few issues, but got it working

wow, you expect us to solve all your problems in 24 hours, on the weekend no less? How much do you think we are getting paid for this?
Glad you got it figured out. Next time, you could try posting in the regular hd2 section as well, seems to be more traffic there.

So you're bothered by the fact we didn't give you the answers quick enough, to something that you obviously had the ability to work out on your own? That points to the fact you didn't do enough to help yourself, before posting your question...something the rules here specifically address.

i did several hours of searching before i posted this, and after a lot of dead ends and frustration, i posted the question, but i continued to search after i posted, which led me to my answer.
and i dont think you guys get paid anything, i just would have expected at least one person to post something, helpfull or not, i just found it weird that no one said anything, not even "i am interested in this as well" or something like "good luck" that i see in other posts....

There's nothing weird you just don't have enough patience to wait for replies. Anyways, good to see that you actually utilized the search function. There's a dedicated android on hd2 forum here on xda. You should have posted your question there.

We dont. It was sarcasm. Hes saying hes not getting paid to help you, so dont get upset when you dont get an answer... This is the internet. Dont expect things from anyone. Just relax and wait. Sometimes, depending on the question, it can take days, weeks to get an answer. If you need people to hold your hand and wish you luck, try the Disney forum.

haha, very funny, i know it was sarcasm, i just gave a serious answer...
i didnt expect anyone to hold my hand or give me an answer, i just would have thought some one would have something about something, like i said before, a lot of times people say good luck, or id be intersted in this too... i found it weird that no one said anything. i know you guys are mad because you couldnt understand my sarcasm, and that i was able to figure it out for myself. how come when i needed help no one said anything, but now that i have it figured out, you guys rant about me wanting everything handed to me, when thats not the case?
mods, please close thread, i got the problem fixed, and there is no need for this thread anymore...

and i didnt mean anything negative by this, i wasnt mad at anyone, i was just trying to be a little funny by throwing some sarcasm in there...
i am terribly sorry that you guys have no sense of humor and couldnt understand that... i though forums where supposed to be friendly, and people were supposed to be able to say funny and or sarcastic things without somone jumping on their back...
once again, please close thread.

it's all good in here man. We all just get a little bit of newbieitis where the only cure is to lash out at the newbs.
There is a lot to learn on this forum and by the time you learn it all, your device is out of date.
It seems you wanted to figure it all out in a night. Been using WinMo for about 2-3years now and I still don't have a clue most of the time.

pbleonidus, if that comment was just tongue-in-cheek, then it's all good, no harm no foul. Those types of comments are near-impossible to tell the difference between light-hearted and just disrespectful....and believe me, we get FAR more of the latter type in here...and that does tend to strike a bit of a raw nerve with those here who go to a lot of effort to help others.
So, a lesson in this for all of us: you're apparently not the type of snarky jerk that we run across so often, and we're not always able to generate answers as quickly as you might expect. Cool? Cool.
I'll get this thread closed for you.

Thread closed as requested.

Well it wouldn't have taken much time (or let alone effort) to figure out the answer to your question. There would be no need to read through "100 pages" if you'd just learn to use the forum's built-in search function.
But this is getting off-topic, so let's get back on track. Nobody knows when (official) Froyo is coming to the Wildfire, but you'll know it very shortly after the release.

Cyborgz said:
**** thing about forums is u come across some right sad people who have no lives who wish they were forum mods Haha you's make me piss... its kind of like the Security Guard at the gate who considers himself to be the head of the Co-Operation... GET A LIFE FOOLS!

Thing about forums is that they have tools so simple questions like yours can be answered without much effort by the user. Even if you had glanced at this page you would have seen similar threads to your own. If you had used half an ounce of brainpower you would have surmised that T-Mobile can't release their own update until HTC release an unbranded one first. If you had refined your search properly there wouldn't be hundreds of pages to sift through.
You think you're superior to people who use forums but you come here and expect them to help you with a question which has an obvious answer. So why did you come here if you're so cool?

Rooting my phone?

Hello guys.
(I tried to post 3 links but I couldn't since I'm a new user)
I recently upgraded my Note 3 from KitKat to Lollipop using this firmware and following some steps on sammobile.
I thought that I had rooted my phone but apparantly not, as a kind redditer explained to me here my thread was called "supsersu doesnt work since i upgraded to 5.0" on the /AndroidQuestions section.
He also adviced me to join XDA forums if I need help and that's why I am here. Basically I need to root my Note 3 to version 5.0 using Odin. The only problem is that I have Odin on my computer ( Here was a picture of my Odin map on my computer ) but I cant see the root file there? So my question is basically: How/Where do I find the root file?
I tried searching some on the forum but I guess my searching skills are terrible as I couldn't find something (and I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere here, so yeah my searching skills probably suck).
A huge thanks in advance!

Hello. Thanks for nothing, especially after I said that I already had searched for the solution and not found it and after I explained that I'm not very good at technology as well.
Anyway, since you "helped" me I'll help you back. But since I can't post links I'll just tell you to go to google and search for "How to not be a ****".
Good luck.

Please dude just get out of my thread already.
I wrote a thread and asked politely for help and I explained that my technological skills were bad. I even wrote:
"I tried searching some on the forum but I guess my searching skills are terrible as I couldn't find something (and I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere here, so yeah my searching skills probably suck)."
And still you gave me a cocky lmgtfy link. Do you know how to read and understand English? Cause else u wouldn't have sent that link. Unless you just wanted to be a complete ****. And judging from your replies in this thread (and some other) it's obvious that you're just a ****.
Anyone that read this thread will probably agree with me that your behavior is childish and that you're not very friendly at all.
Now stop polluting my thread, and please get out of here.

gotta say YOU are part of the reason XDA is the way it is now ... instead of just getting your 15 sec of fame or whatever with your stupid answer ... why say anything that is NOT helpful? are you that pathetic you just had to be the first to reply? are your parents not paying enough attention to you? I just don't get it ... very effing frustrating ...
as for your request try searching all the threads and use a keyword to assist the search

We have ALL been where he is now, however a vast majority of us decided to use that good old google to answer, umm pretty much every question he asked. Are we just supposed to google everything for him/her? Maybe even create a summarized audio book for them. I have 0 problem helping someone find the answer to a difficult or obscure question, but ffs. But great way to be toxic, real asset to the community.
