Ok Now that you have a hang of your device, you probably want to explore your options and maybe install a Custom Rom. Well, the first thing you will need is to Root the Device.
So what really is a Root ? Why should I do it ? Would it break my Phone ? How about my Warranty ? All legitimate questions. To start off, here's an easy guide by Lifehacker. This whole concept may seem mystical to some of us. Let me try to make it pretty straightforward. Rooting is a process on Android that effectively grants you superuser access. Think of it as Administrator access on Windows. Android is a derivative of Linux. So those from Linux should have no difficulty with this concept.
There are certain operations that only a Superuser can do. Hence you'd want to root in order to so. For ex, remove any application that is installed as System application. Just like on on Windows, Root access does come with risk, so you need to use it with care. Just because you have Root access, does not mean your phone is broken. Typically making wrong changes to system with Root access, will result in affecting smooth operation of your phone. In extreme cases, the device may be Bricked if incorrect software (Rom, Mod or others) is flashed.
When it comes to Warranty, typically Root as such does not void your warranty. But if you end up flashing anything with a custom Recovery, then your Warranty may be voided.
Rooting -
Ok so, I got what Root is and I need to be responsible in what I do. How do I get the root ? Well the first and basic thing would be to install appropriate drivers for Windows.
Next in order to Root, please follow this thread by @paulobrien . As you will see, there are two ways to go about it. Both do require your Bootloader to be unlocked. However, neither method, applies to the Google Play Edition (XT1032) as there is no supporting Custom Recovery for this variant.
If you do not have or do not wish to unlock your bootloader then you can opt for @oasoas014 's method of bootloader downgrade. You may also visit @Cooptx's more detailed guide. Note, with the most recent recoveries, you do not need to downgrade your bootloader.
Note - Flashing a bootloader is inherently dangerous. You can possibly hardbrick your device if you flash incorrect bootloader. Always check the MD5 value of downloaded file.
Only In Case of Moto G Google Play Edition (XT1032), it is possible to unlock the Bootloader on your own. You do not need to pay to get an Unlock Code from Motorola. Instead, you can follow the same method as Nexus or other Google Play Devices. Here's a nice tutorial. For those technically minded, here's Android Source Documentation of the same process. Once unlocked, the bootloader cannot be re-locked unless you flash a signed system image, (which Motorola has not made available as of 01-22-2014).
One of the first things you should do upon Rooting is to backup your PDS Partition.
[SIZE=+1]How to backup / restore PDS partition and why?[/SIZE]On Motorola devices the 'pds' partition contains information specific to your machine: IMEI, MAC address, serial number, etc. This partition can be lost by accidental format or over time due to filesystem corruption. If you have made a backup, there is a good chance you can bring your handset back to life.
==> PDS backup will help to restore lost IMEI. It is a situation when the phone reports that the IMEI is unknown. ; This works like a vaccine, apply before having issue with IMEI, after it will be too late !
Instructions:
**Root Required**
Using ADB you can make a copy of the partition and move it to a safe place (Google Drive?):adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.imgTo restore in the event of corruption or loss:adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds(assuming you've pushed pds.img to internal SDcard storage first)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once rooted, some of you may wish to stick with that and not proceed any further. With root, you will want to remove some of the apps that you don't need. I wish to suggest that you take a complete backup with a tool such as Titanium Backup. That way if you accidentally uninstall/remove something that's critical to android's operation, then you can restore it. For those of you, who wish to install custom Rom, read on.
The first step towards installing a custom Rom is to install a custom Recovery.
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. The viable options are either follow this guide or get an unlock code from Motorola.
Custom Recoveries -
A Custom Recovery is a unofficial Recovery Console that can be flashed to your device's Recovery Partition.
Typically unofficial recoveries offer several advantages over Stock or Official Recovery. Hence the unofficial recoveries are necessary in order to flash a Custom Rom. Apart from flashing a Rom, Kernel or any other firmware, unofficial Recoveries can also take Nandroids.
An unofficial Recovery is also commonly referred to as Custom Recovery. There are two major projects that contribute Custom recoveries. One is called CWM. The other is called TWRP. Given bellow is a list of Custom Recoveries available for your device.
Note - CWM and TWRP recoveries do not support the Google Play Edition variant (XT1032). You will need to wait for Motorola to release the Kernel source code before @a1Pha can support. However Philz Touch does support Google Play Edition.
CWM Recovery v 6.0.4.5 by @a1Pha -
This is the ClockWorkMod Recovery for the Moto G. Head over to the thread for more details.

Thanks for mentioning. I have made rest of the changes except for the 2 Root methods. Will add them to the Op. All changes are done.
Between the two methods you have mentioned, the basic premise of bootloader downgrade is pretty much the same right ? Your's seems more elaborate list of steps. Or am I missing something ?

[For DEV] Samsung Galaxy S I9070 Advance kernel & platform source code
Before starting... (Read please)
- For those people wondering if it's possible to flash i9000 (Galaxy S) ROMs on the i9070 (Galaxy S Advance) the answer is NO. You CAN BRICK your phone. I'm NOT responsible of your actions.
- Don't use android sdk. use Odin tool with Kies installed.
- Samsung device drivers comes in Kies PC software. So Odin requires Kies to detect Samsung devices.
- Odin doesn't exist for Linux. Use Heimdall instead.
- You can't get in bootloader using Android SDK (an `adb reboot bootloader` just does a normal reboot).
- 'wipe data/factory reset' wipes only /data partition
- stock recovery usually performs signature verification for every zip-package you try to install. if the package is not signed by Samsung, then it will not be applied. you need a custom recovery to install zips with no restrictions.
- I don't have this phone, yet (I should buy it in weeks). So don't believe me without questioning. If I'm wrong, correction is welcome.
- A backup is always a good thing.

Well, I read about flashing, the TWRP ,the binary counter u.u, cutom ROMs, Odin, drivers, well, almost everything on this index and finally I decided to flash my device and I did it sucesfully with JetMOD, which looks pretty nice.
Yeah, I decided to purchase this device cause it was on my possibilities and it have nice specs, just wish that the update to Jelly Bean comes soon, and of course I'll be checking for new CRs
On the other hand, I'm studying Systems engineering, I don't think I'll do something on custom ROMs but I really want to develop Andoid apps.
I don't have any doubts right now, maybe on the future I'll have but before posting something I use to search everywhere, so cya
Full Format your S Advance
People, is there any way i can format my full phone, including the internal memory wipe, everything, and then installing a new stock firmware with odin mode??
I gave it a day researching about it, and found that using Fastboot i can wipe out everyhting with the fast boot command lines :
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
And so i installed the android SDK, adb and fastboot for it...everything was set, in cmd.exe, i typed adb devices and my device was found, and then doing a few adb command test i was sure about adb, but when i typed fastboot devices, nothing happened, no response..seemed like my device is not responding to fastboot
then i searched a bit on fastboot, and found out that it works in bootloader mode, if security is unsecure/unlocked (this i found it for nexus)..also tried the command adb reboot bootloader, but it just reboots my phone nothing new.
So im stuck at this point..!!
Please help me, PM me, Mail me anything...i want to know if im going in the right direction, if not, please guide me i'll be thankful!!!
PS: No issue if the warranty gets void, android is a open source platform unlike iOS, so it should be enjoyed to the fullest!!!
PSS: i may not know about command language or linux commanding, but im not a noob, and internet has a lot to give...also i learn quickly!!!:good:
USB OTG
is there a way that our phone can support OTG/ USB HOST, because even sony xperia go does support OTG (gsm arena says so, i have not personally seen/tested it)

Well I think this is the easier way (just for Windows), first you must go here -> http://www.samsung.com/mx/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP and download Kies, this is for the drivers of your phone that you will need.
Now you must install it with your phone connected, but before you must update your java cause it can have troubles if you don't do so. When it finish you may reboot your pc and after reboot you must stop Kies services (on taskmanager), then download ODIN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703998 and follow this video (to enter in download mode you mjust press Vol down + home button + power at the same time):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqp69v68WVU
Is the same but with this kernel/firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873119
Now select your favorite ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945806 and install as in this video (go to min 3:00 and the keys are Vol up + home button + power):

AFAIK Galaxy S Advance doesn't support otg. otg isn't just a matter of sw support (kernel has to support it) but also hw, a specific chip is needed.
anyway if i find sth new, i'll update the 1st post.

did you tried 'back to stock' in this index?
if you want to wipe everything you can do it via TWRP recovery (flashed via fastboot) and then using odin to flash stock fw and the rest.
not sure it odin flashes a blank device.
We dont have fastboot???

Ok Now that you have a hang of your device, you probably want to explore your options and maybe install a Custom Rom. Well, the first thing you will need is to Root the Device.
So what really is a Root ? Why should I do it ? Would it break my Phone ? How about my Warranty ? All legitimate questions. To start off, here's an easy guide by Lifehacker. This whole concept may seem mystical to some of us. Let me try to make it pretty straightforward. Rooting is a process on Android that effectively grants you superuser access. Think of it as Administrator access on Windows. Android is a derivative of Linux. So those from Linux should have no difficulty with this concept.
There are certain operations that only a Superuser can do. Hence you'd want to root in order to so. For ex, remove any application that is installed as System application. Just like on on Windows, Root access does come with risk, so you need to use it with care. Just because you have Root access, does not mean your phone is broken. Typically making wrong changes to system with Root access, will result in affecting smooth operation of your phone. In extreme cases, the device may be Bricked if incorrect software (Rom, Mod or others) is flashed.
When it comes to Warranty, typically Root as such does not void your warranty. But if you end up flashing anything with a custom Recovery, then your Warranty may be voided.
Rooting -
Ok so, I got what Root is and I need to be responsible in what I do. How do I get the root ? Well the first and basic thing would be to install appropriate drivers for Windows. Next in order to Root, please follow the thread to install PwnMyMoto by @jcase. If you have received the Camera update, then you will need RockMyMoto to patch PwnMyMoto. are on Kitkat, then you will need SlapMyMoto. There's a nice Tutorial by @Tha TechnoCrat as well for you. There could be additional questions or specific questions about bootloader downgrade or otherwise. If so you may wish to review a reference thread by @dray_jr
Once rooted, some of you may wish to stick with that and not proceed any further. With root, you will want to remove some of the apps that you don't need. I wish to suggest that you take a complete backup with a tool such as Titanium Backup. That way if you accidentally uninstall/remove something that's critical to android's operation, then you can restore it. For those of you, who wish to install custom Rom, read on.
The first step towards installing a custom Rom is to install a custom Recovery.
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. Barring the open Bounty, the only viable option right now is to get an unlock code from Motorola. Do know that according to this blog, unlocking the Bootloader of a Developer Edition device will NOT VOID WARRANTY!
If you do not wish to unlock your Bootloader, you may also wish to explore Safe Strap. It is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. Its aim is to avoid making changes to the main system partition and only flash or make large changes to the Data Partition in general, /sdcard in particular. When SafeStrap is installed, you should see a menu at boot, with a choice to enter recovery. As of now, the recovery of Safestrap is based on TWRP 2.6.3.0. If you wish to proceed down this path, please see this thread for more details.
Reference - Moto X Forum Thread.
ROOTING WITH LOLLIPOP UPDATE -
With the Lollipop update, rooting process is different. You may wish to review [HOW TO] How to Root 5.1 with (unlocked bootloader) if you have already unlocked the bootloader. If not, you might want to do so, preferably before the update.
For those with AT&T or Verizon version of Moto X, there is another option to Root. Please review Moto X Root AT&T/VZW [KXA21.12-L1.26] for more details on this. Do note, it does require specific firmware version.
Custom Recoveries -
A Custom Recovery is a unofficial Recovery Console that can be flashed to your device's Recovery Partition.
Typically unofficial recoveries offer several advantages over Stock or Official Recovery. Hence the unofficial recoveries are necessary in order to flash a Custom Rom. Apart from flashing a Rom, Kernel or any other firmware, unofficial Recoveries can also take Nandroids.
An unofficial Recovery is also commonly referred to as Custom Recovery. There are two major projects that contribute Custom recoveries. One is called CWM. The other is called TWRP. Given bellow is a list of Custom Recoveries available for your device.
The internal Storage of Moto X does support F2FS, a file system developed by Samsung engineers. The custom recoveries too do support the same.

Open Recovery v 2.09 by @Skrilax_CZ -
One of the big difference Open Recovery has over TWRP and CWM is that, it can backup and restore modem firmware. In particular, it can backup the following partitions.
Code:
boot, cache, data, fsg, logo, modem, modemst1, modemst2, system.
It has F2FS support, however, after Motorola released 4.4 image, f2fs has been broken. Those of you, who are using it, can chime in on any issues.
It was designed for Droid MAXX but works well for Moto X. Head over to the thread for more details.
(Thread as of 12-02-2013)
Back to Stock -
Just like rooting and using custom Roms, there will be a time when some of us might decide that they want to start over. For any reason, should you wish to restore the phone to the condition that it was in when it arrived, that's certainly possible to do. This is collectively called Return to Stock. Your best places to review are the excellent guides. You can go with
[GUIDE][VIDEO] Moto X - Return to 100% stock (using RSD Lite OR manual flash). by @TechSavvy2.
It is possible that you only wish to go to stock so that you receive Android updates such as Lollipop, in which case, you don't have to go to stock Recovery. If so, please review [REF][How To] Return to STOCK Recovery (IF rooted) and sideload OTA by @KidJoe.

Status Bar Mods - Another Xposed Mod that makes few changes to Status bar appearance. See the thread for details.

If you wish, you can try some nice Boot Logos from this thread. This thread on the other hand, has some nice custom bootanimations and other media. This other thread has Google Play Edition Animation. This one has a Moto X Animation in Google Play Edition Style.

Just got the Moto X Developer Edition GSM version last night. Is this already rooted? Or do I still follow the instructions in other posts to root it ? If so which APK do I use ? I am using a SIM card from TMobile. Thanks in advance.
The bootloader would be unlocked or user unlockable. You will have to root on your own.

Original post needs changing. It looks like AT&T and T-Mobile versions are using the same frequencies, which is only correct for
GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
======
4G LTE bands for T-Mo (which is the same as Developer Edition for GSM networks, 1053): 700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2)
3G UMTS bands for T-Mo (which is the same as Developer Edition for GSM networks, 1053): 850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)
Source: http://www.motorola.com/us/Moto-X-Developer-Edition-GSM-Networks/moto-x-developer-edition.html#product-specs
=======
4G LTE bands for AT&T: Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17

3G UMTS bands for AT&T: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
Source: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/motorola/moto-x-white.html
=========
As you can see comparing with AT&T T-Mobile is lacking LTE Band 5. I read that AT&T is not using it in USA at the time, so not sure of how important it is.
[Not sure] On the other hand, for 3G UMTS T-Mobile version has AWS which AT&T doesn't. Unless 4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul for AT&T is the same as AWS in T-Mobile.
By stating, "AT&T and T-Mo", I had indicted that they both have same GSM frequency. Op has never stated that the two have different set of frequencies. Both carriers indeed do have a different implementation of HSPA+ protocol with T-Mo's speeds supposedly higher due to compression. Since ATT had rolled out 4G LTE ahead of T-Mo, they didn't focus on H+ like T-mo.

So can I assume this is a stock based rom that has been debloated, optimized, and such but is fully functional as a stock Rom? I've been waiting to update the wife's X on account of all the reported troubles with the official lollipop update.
This firmware is the most clean and fast
It based on the stock, and includes all updates and patches
Hi!
First of all, thank you very much for your rom, the "jedi" gesture is back!
I checked the stagefright detector and it seems to be vulnereble to the "CVE-2015-6602" I asume is a new vulnerability and motorola haven´t patched yet.
I have installed the rom an hour ago and everything works as expected, so nothing else to report, if I find anything strange i will tell you.
Thanks again!

stagefright was fixed in last update, so I would certainly expect this ROM to have that patch. also, I believe that this thread should be moved to the Development section, not in general. you may need a mod to help out.
"and only GSM XT1049/1050/1056/1060/ - 2G/3G/LTE (for CDMA use menu *#*#4636#*#*)"
So this could work on the Sprint network with a 1056?

I want to try this ROM to get back to stock... I do not have a system to flash the stock files...
Please help me understand.
XT1049 on C Spire?
Do you think this ROM will work on XT1049 from C Spire? I also would like to use a stock based ROM.
I do not change third-party applications, such as YouTube, Chrome, and other Google search, wait for the update application from the developers (Google)
Sorry, I meant to say if this rom will have xposed built in. Thank you so much crash by the way, I'm assuming this will eventually work for xt1058 with locked bootloaders?
what is that?
the gesture of the Jedi
what is that?
On kitkat you could have your hand in front of the screen and it would display moto display, since the lolipop update, you have to hold your hand directly over the light sensor for a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 7 (Nougat)?
A: Yes, this is Android 7.1.2
Q: What code is Oct-N based on?
A: This version of Oct-N is based on LineageOS 14.1
Q: Why isn't there XYZ feature?
A: Shoot us a Suggestion if you want to see something added. While we are not going to promise to implement, we will always look into it
Q: But all the others have..
A: ROM developers, build something they want to use. The ROM developer that includes something they won't run implies less than 100% effort to ensure it does work. As a team, we have similar goals and objectives. If XYZ ROM has a feature you want, and we don't include (or don't want to include), feel free to use XYZ ROM, or build your own custom version of Oct-N.
Q: What about root?
A: Root is removed by default (user will be able to flash which ever root zip they want)
Bugs:
Bugs happen. Our testers are very good at breaking things, but no where near as good as the rest of the Android public. In order to investigate and fix issues, we need the help of the users who are going to report them. The Android OS has many nifty features to help us in this, but only if we can engage the user to assist us.
Logs, Logcat, and the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB)
Like any other OS, Android has multiple log files that are generated and record the goings-on of the system. As a user, you have two basic ways to view and pull these to send to us. Without the information in the logfiles, there simply is not a whole lot of information to go on.
Log file APKs
Team OctOs recommends SysLog from the Android Market. This application will allow you to selectively pick any (or all) of the system logs, compress them into a .ZIP file, and allow you to save, email, move to your Copy/DropBox/Cloud Storage account, etc.
ADB Logcat
The Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) is a powerful tool available from Google as part of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Used for many things, being able to selectively see, in real-time, what your device is doing cannot be downplayed. While there is more setup involved, if you are doing consistent ROM flashing, you really should invest the time to get setup properly to do it.
ADB Logcat tutorial here: How to create a logcat log
Basic Instructions:
Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file, and grab your favorite Open Gapps package http://opengapps.org
Reboot to Recovery (Note: Use Reboot to Recovery from Power Menu, Hardware-based boot to recovery, or adb reboot recovery - ROM Manager or similar software is NOT supported)
--- TWRP is the ONLY recovery Team OctOs uses - We do not support flashing on CWM ---
The Oct-N ROM installation script will automatically wipe /system, /cache, and /dalvik-cache. There is no need to do these before or after flashing the ROM unless you are instructed to by your Gapps Provider. When dirty flashing weekly updates, you MUST reflash Gapps along with any other files, apps, custom mods or kernels etc.. (anything that resides in system partition)
Flash ROM, GApps and any additional .ZIP files
Reboot

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 6 (Marshmallow)?
A: Yes
Q: What code is Oct-M based on?
A: Starting with Oct-M, we've rebased OctOs on Aosp code.
Q: What happened to CM?
A: Octos was originally formed as an AOSP source rom. We have returned to those roots.
Q: Why isn't there XXXXXXX feature.
A: Shoot us a Suggestion if you want to see something added. While we are not going to promise to implement, we will always look into it
Q: But CM and all the others have..
A: ROM developers, including CM, build something they want to use. The ROM developer that includes something they won't run implies less than 100% effort to ensure it does work. As a team, we have similar goals and objectives. If XYZ ROM has a feature you want, and we don't include (or don't want to include), feel free to use XYZ ROM, or build your own custom version of Oct-M.
Q: Superuser or SuperSU?
A: Team OctOs uses SuperSU and is installed automatically.

[*]You tell me
Some ss
Rom is great for now.. all basic things works .. that is for now xD
Trying this rom for a few hours, I observed the followings:
The rom is smooth and rather fast.
Almost everything works properly.
Xposed works on this rom without any problem.
Battery life is reasonable.
Thank you so much, aniket.lamba.:good:
@aniket.lamba hi bro, I have a query.
But before that thanks a ton for the wonderful work you have done with this ROM :thumbup: Your Metallium ROM was my favorite LP ROM and I used it as my daily driver from the time it got released and never had to look at any other ROM after that as it was rock stable and super fast
Now for the query, was going through a post by John Cannon Jr on TeamOct G+ community where he mentioned that for non-nexus devices CM will be the base going forward. So for cancro-marshmallow will you continue the AOSP base or will change the base to CM in future? Asking this as there are lot of CM based ROMs available for cancro-marshmallow but not many AOSP based.
Cheers

Initially it'll be CM based.As the ROM development progresses further,we might shift to the AOSP base.

Are there CM themes? The app drawer shows it is, ur settings screenshot (might have missed), doesn't show that. Also the ROM is AOSP based.
No slow charging bug?

"might shift", does that mean it is CM based right now. The FAQ question and the 'based on' posted on the op shows AOSP atleast.

For the initial stage it is CM based,this build which I've posted is an initial build (considering it still has issues) so we chose CM base as we draw more support of non-nexus devices,we'll shift the base to AOSP.I'll change the thread title so the users won't have a problem figuring out.

Never heard of someone who got Ambient Display working anytime. It just shows the, doesn't supports though.
Is it only me or the ROM doesn't support extended partition?
I tried flashing twice, but after installing GAPPS. Xposed doesn't get installed due to no space.
Also the maximum CPU frequency doesn't change at all

Apparently you're not on extended partition. Your system is only 660mb instead of 1.2gb which means you're on stock partition. Did u flash MIUI recently? It might've reverted your partition to stock.

That's not the case. Some ROMs work at stock even though you are on extended partition. Though I knew it's not my phone I still anyways re flashed extended partition ZIP leading in same result.
BTW installing MIUI or any other ROM via recovery doesn't make you loose ur extended partition.

If you've flashed the extended partition and it's still in 660mb means that you've failed. I know only flashing miui through fastboot gets you to stock partition. The point is you're on stock partition.

Nope. I'm on extended partition since months. You haven't come across that kind of ROMs I mentioned it looks like. And I can't remember the exact name of few ROMs which had that issue right now.
And for the record after that ROM I installed CM12.1 without installing any repartition ZIPs and I had a 1.2G system size.

Ooh did u mean that after flashing this ROM your system partition got reset to default (660mb)?
Cuz in the screenshot you attached it shows that you only have 660mb.

I too faced the same issue and with other ROMs too. There is an easy fix. If you are using twrp, go to Wipe->advanced Wipe Select "System" and click "repair or Change File system" below. Then Select "Resize". The issue will now be fixed.
If you are flashing ROM and Gapps, do the above step after flashing ROM before installing the Gapps.
Is this rom cm based or aosp based?

Hey everyone!!
First and foremost, you have to understand no one is responsible for what happens to your device. No one is responsible for exploding your device and no one is responsible if you cannot get WiFi or your alarm does not go off. You take full responsibility for the well being of your device to keep it nourish with wonderful Roms, Themes, Mods and of course, to keep it functioning as you wish for it to be.
This thread will be updated during my spare times. If you see a thread you feel should be added here (Even from other variants that works with OUR phone), Please send me a quick PM HERE Or mention me with @mgbotoe and I will come running

ANDROID TERMINOLOGYThanks to @benjamingwynn with his great quick DefinitionsADB - "Android Debug Bridge" a system that can be accessed using a computer where you can manage the device from. You need the Android SDK to use it.
AOSP - "Android open source project" a project by Google Inc. to give android to developers and manufactures for free.
APK - "Android Package" an Android application
Bloatware - Software or 'apps' that you don't need, but come preinstalled to a device's /system partition, meaning that you cannot remove them unless the device has been rooted. Usually, these are apps are sponsored by a company and included by a carrier for profit
CDMA/GSM - A type of network communication between phones and carriers. GSM phones normally are included with SIM Cards that authorize them onto the network. CDMA have this authorization built in and do not need a sim card.
Custom recovery - A modified version of stock recoveries that allow you to do more things in the recovery mode.
Cyanogenmod (CM) - A free open-source project based on the AOSP. It is a modded version of the Android firmware
Dalvik-Cache - Holds all of the pre-compiled .dex files created from installed apps. These files are static and do not change unless the app is updated.
Deodexed - Where ODEX files are moved into the actual applications modded) version of the Android firmware.
Developer - A man or woman who has created (developed) software.
Firmware - a piece of software to make hardware function correctly. This can refer to Radio Firmware, but is normally used as another name for ROM.
Governor - A system embedded into the kernel to automatically change the current working CPU frequency depending on the workload. It would only go up to what it is overclocked (or underclocked) to, this is called the maximum frequency. It would not drop below the minimum frequency.
KANG - The process of creating a code based of someone else's code.
Kernel - An important part of all operating systems that handles the CPU and other vital components. A modded kernel may be used for overclocking.
Logcat - A logging system built into the ADB
Mod - A modification to a part of the phones software. It is also POSSIBLE to mod the phones hardware but is not recommended.
OTA - "Over the air" a term used to indicate software that was sent to phones directly through the internet to their phones.
Open-source - (not to be confussed with free) A peice of software that is free to edit, use, distribute and share with no charge.
Overclock - To exceed the default maximum CPU speed. This could make a phone more powerful but may cause damage. Although no damaged has been reported so far it could still drain battery life.
Radio Firmware - A type of software that allows correct communication with the radio and the operating system. A newer firmware would normally improve battery life and call quality. The radio firmware only applies to the CDMA/GSM radio.
Radio - (not to be confused with Radio Firmware) A piece of hardware that allows communication. There are 3 main radios in your phone. Bluetooth, WiFi and GSM/CDMA.
ROM -
1. A modified version of the Android operating system operating system.
2. Read Only Memory, a place where information is stored and can not be destroyed, modified or written to.
Stock - An unchanged version of something. Example: I just flashed stock sense.
Underclock - To change your phones maximum frequency to LOWER than the default to attempt to extend the phones lifespan and battery.
WIP - "Work In Progress"
Zipalligned - An archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
INTL - International
Odex - Files that are collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.
Recovery Mode - A special environment that you can boot into for troubleshooting and upgrading purposes
