Hey peeps,
I am very new here. I have already read some posts of you, but I still don't know how to start.
I want to become an xda developer, who both develope Apps and OS like Android.
First of all I want to pimp my very old HTC Prophet aka O2 XDA Neo.

Well I don't really know if a ROM-Update is necessary, in order to start with Android my HTC.
Where can I download the necessary Android Files for HTC Prophet (O2 XDA Neo)?
Maybe you will ask, why don't you buy another HTC? Well I got already another HTC but I want to test everything on my old HTC and I want to collect experiences during the developments.

I will be very glad, if you give me some tutorials.

Keep it up!

Well if I don't get any answer, then I should better delete my account here, or?
