TERMINOLOGY is STRANGE

[dionysos77]

Hi every body,
Sometimes I don't understand most of the terms you are using...
Is there anybody that can prepare a "sticky" thread to explain the terminology used...

For example:
What are
CU ROM
Clean ROM
IPL
SPL
HardSPL
SoftSPL (which should be performed first for a virgin prophet)
pagepool
EXTROM
WM6.0
WM6.1
WM7

????


I'm experienced in 3rd party SWs (especially GPS SW) but I could not take me to the ROM Flashers world because of these terminology used and not explained in even dummies thread..

have you tried reading the wiki?

[Zotho]

Somethings are explained very good in the wiki, others aren´t.
These common terms and shortcuts would be really good for newbies.
I for example don´t know exactly what 'UC' means. It has something to do with the external ROM and the install routine, right?

[dionysos77]

I know I wrote some terms that are explained in WIKI, intentionally..
Because the think that I required should look like a "abbreviations/accronyms" table..
The "one" that is planning to prepare that "table" should miss least possible number of terms..

Please guide newbies..

have you google it? and look for it?

UC = "User Capable". So this is with SD Config. allow users to install cabs from SD Card automatically, after flashing the ROM.

SPL =Second Program Loader . Bootloader.

HARDSPL and SOFTSPL -->read here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405384). It is a sticky thread.

WM6 = if you know what WM5. You should now , what WM 6.And WM 6.1

WM6.1
and the rest. Search and search. Please dont be lazy. Even though you are lazy.
