I'm very interested in Learning how to Dev. ROMs for my Samsung Epic. This is all new to me but i catch on quick. Where do i start? Ive already been researching and learning Java and C Programming. But where do i start? Is there some king of kitchen already setup with links for me to download what i need? Any help would be awesome.
Thanks in Advance

Use the search button! You will be amazed at the plethora of info that will pop up on XDA and the internet! This question should be in general also. You are not developing anything. This is just a general question!

Thank you! I've been wondering the same thing. I've searched XDA, but it turned out I was looking in the wrong places. God this site's changed since the Kaiser days.
No problem. Glad I could help Looking forward to your potential ROM.
Hello everyone. I haven't been able to maintain this beginners' guide, but I highly recommend the following two threads:
Droidstyle's guide has anything and everything you need to get rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
User jawman27 has put together a glossary to help new users understand rooting terminology:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513143
Enjoy.

No, this is strictly for the Fascinate, I don't really know the specifics but the mesmerize is different, I think theres a separate forum for that phone.
Great job Bawb3. I wish there was also something like this for stock app preferred replacements/alternatives all grouped together. For example, Dolphin instead of the default browser, debinged browser, replacement SMS clients, and 'must-have' apps for post rooting. Something like that, maybe to go hand in hand with this guide, to get newbies started. I would do it myself but I'm still a newbie. Wishful thinking, but mainly I just wanted to say thanks!

P.s. thanks for all the compliments everyone!

Great guide, it took me about two days of digging to understand all of this and you put it in one nice package.

Thank you SO much! I think this has been one of THE BEST guides I have seen thus far.. It explains pretty much EVERY in great common language. Now if only I can get past my current roadblock so I can actually continue through all of these steps :/ but when I do, I'm coming back to this thread for reference!
Thank you!
This guide is great! Thank you, it sure helped me to have a better understanding of root, roms, and kernel's.

One suggestion, maybe host the root file on your post or offer up a mirror link. Registering for another forum is no biggie, but I'd rather not since I'm more comfortable here on XDA.

i don't mean anything to the OP to take it by the opposite way
all i said is : how in earth he doesn't know root means ? if he doesn't know means he shouldn't go for it right
he must read and read and do some more read and then he'll know the answer by himself .... or at least search , because this question answered for many many times ago

i believe you meant this
nope i didn't
btw i'm going to pm u now
Before rooting I suggest reading..............
FAR more important........
Also, thread titles like this will not lead to getting a good response from the community.
DO NOT make demands.
Please use titles descriptive of your problem and use the Q&A section for questions.
Well I Just rooted my mytouch 4g and i was wondering how do i get the best Ice cream sandwich install on my phone
There's only one rom and its the one in the dev section. Flash it and read before posting. Also, if you ask about the camera I may have to kill you.
Sent from my Htcclay's SuperCM7 mt4g using xda premium
I wouldn't recommend an ics rom yet unless you have no need for a camera our video camera. I don't believe flash is working right either. I may be wrong about that though. I would suggest unity, Cm7, our miui for rooms to try out until a solid release of ics is available.

I believe most of those who are now answering questions, actually could read and search and weren't lazy enough to skip those parts.
And "everyone is leaving this forum" is a bland, non-backed-up-by-anything, and most probably wrong assumption.

This forum is a resource, not a help line..you don't call up the folks at wikipedia and go "quick, i have a report due, tell me what happened in ww2!"
They did the research to help narrow your information search to a single forum, the last you can do is understand that unless you are developing new applications or roms or working on a brand new device that your question has already been asked and the onus is on you to actually read the encyclopedia and to write your own report..no one is going to write your report for you, especially not the editors of the encyclopedia..it is gracious that some of these questions even get replies, even if they are flaming you for asking without searching..imo fwiw

Yes, but not for the same questions to be posted and answered over aand over. Cluttering the forum. That's what the search functions is there for. For when you have already exhausted all your search resources and found nothing, then you ask for help.

At least SAY 'I've looked everywhere! Can you point me to an answer for...' Even if you haven't looked, at least pretend to know how to use a search bar..these things have been around for over a decade lmao you might get help for a dumb question and not get flamed if you at least lie and say you searched
Also, no one likes dumb people or dumb questions, it isn't a trait unique to developers on xda, even though I've encountered my share of smart asses, the fount of knowledge here far exceeds any petty squabble i might get into..if something like that makes you leave the site then it's more your loss than xda's, you are really only useful to the community if you can debug or develop, they are doing us a favor by letting us muggles into their world of fairy dust and unicorns lmao
Phone root is perfect. Removed Chinese superuser . Now, is there a recovery that I can use to flash a custom ROM? I tried flashing CWM and TWRP, but the phone still boots to stock recovery...Is there even a ROM that will work with this damn MK2 firmware?

I dont know if the method of MF3 works. I could not flash custom roms by that recovery except some TW roms when I used MF3.

Why is it that people don't do some reading? There is plenty of information about this in the forum already. I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out. Did you even read the rules before you signed up?
Scott - give it a rest.
All of your comments are the same..... "look it up"
This site is NOT the easiest to locate information on. Finding information here is references to references to pages that at 128 pages deep with a blurb to look at another thread.
"Yeah but thats my point, if people read and did not ask questions because the answers are already..."... well its a little too late unless XDA has some users with AUTHORING capabilities to clean up the forums.
To Rickala..... I dont believe a custom rom is available at this moment, but I would keep an eye on the development section of this forum. Get Titanium Backup and freeze all of the ATT stuff, the stock rom isnt that bad
Good luck buddy

Posting questions without searching
I am not siding with (or against) anyone here, but to be 100% fair, the search function here is seriously lacking at times.
Example: In the Accessories section, a few days ago I was looking at a page of threads including one whose title was "Spigen Slim Armor View."
When I searched, from that page, for the word "Spigen," it returned a nothing found result.
OK, it NOW works correctly, but for a while there it absolutely did not.
Of course on the other hand, how can you miss it when a half dozen threads on the page clearly reflect terms related to what your question is about?
The bottom line is, people are generally lazy and will post things like "I'm new here so don't flame me, but I don't have time to read through hundreds of posts to find the answer, so I will just ask you all a really basic question that has been asked dozens of times."

I've found a Google search with the site: parameter is a good alternative.
ie: "Spigen Slim Armor View site:forum.XDAdevelopers.com"
It doesn't help with bad Grammer, spelling, punctuation or attitude, but it does return better results than the native search.
Give it a go.

Scott -
Did you read the rules?
Lets analyze this:
Why is it that people don't do some reading? There is plenty of information about this in the forum already. I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out. Did you even read the rules before you signed up?
1. Search before posting.
.... If the OP found this forum, he must have done some type of searching, no? I mean if no search was performed he would had asked same question in the Droid Bionic forum
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result, what may be OK to say in your part of the world, may not be OK elsewhere. Please consider who is reading what you write and don't use profanity, sexually explicit language, rudeness or swearing. Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street.
...I would think the majority of people would consider "I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out" rude
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
...I cannot spot 1 single item in your paragraph that even touches item #10
Rickala - let us know how your search turns out, good luck
Take care everybody

Stop trolling. Your reply is useless and added nothing to the discussion (as have a couple of the others in this thread). It has already been widely reported that MK2 is root-able by both the V-root method and SuperSU survival modes. So there is no need for the OP to make screenshots.
Not trolling at actually. But isnt tje point of XDA to provide resources when making a statement root is available, steps one takes to get root so others can have it. Right? You should have camr back with a better response rather than saying root is available since you sre keen on providing links to "Rules"... to sum up soome posy credible resources gaining root..

Vroot or Kingo was NOT declared illegal by XDA. Warnings were posted that it seems to collect information during the rooting process deemed unneeded for rooting so we do not allow direct links at this time. Use at your own risk and discussion is allowed.
Now as there is no more useful content being added to this thread other than bickering
