The battle of the Droids??!

[Shinare]

Since I'm about to step into the smartphone arena for the first time, I've been reading some of the posts in this thread the last couple pages. I'm thinking about getting the Galaxy S II 4G for t-mobile for myself and getting a pair of HTC Wildfire S phones for my wife and daughter. It's interesting reading about ICS and Cyanogen, where can I learn more on the how's and why's of applying these ROMs and the pros/cons of such? Thanks!

whaaaaa ?!! Only a couple of pages? No, no, no, no, that won't do!! You have to read the whole thread!!!


kidding!!

Well, you're in the right thread on here. Some of the members here are very knowledgeable about Android, ROMs, hardware and all things android.

here are a few links to get you started:

XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/ (huge forums for Q's about all android phones, ROMs, etc.)

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ Cyanogen Mod is the most widely used ROM for those phones. You can follow them on facebook, Google+ as well.

There are others who cover all things android:

http://www.androidcentral.com/

http://www.androidpolice.com/

I don't keep up with them all, but those should get you started. You can also go on Google + and #android

Google + is brilliant for stuff like that
Hope that'll get you started
