Introduce yourself! What's your XDA story?

Hello everyone,
I have been on this site before getting help for android phones. But it has been a long time since I've been here. I'm an old man of 62 trying to learn new tricks. Need to stay current you know. So yes, I am a newbie so please be patient with me. LOL

Hi all,

my nickname is Temmay. I have been an HTC smartphone fan since 2010. In 2010, I got my first smartphone, an HTC Desire S. I only have had a Siemens A50 mobile phone at that time, and wanted to have a phone with which I can listen to music. Through some students in my classes, I got the recommendation to buy an HTC phone and I did. I used it quite a lot, for listening to music, for searching on the internet, for looking for the next public transportation connection and other things. It crashed sometimes, but since it was usable after it restarted, it did not bother me that much. Some years in using the smartphone, I learnt that you can root these and such update the operating system. I did this about 4 years in using the smartphone. I found the ROMs here on XDA Developers and they turned out to be more stable and better performing. I even could install processor power stage management apps that lengthened the battery duration of the HTC Desire S from about 2 days to 7 days. This is quite impressive.
Later, I bought myself an ASUS Transformer K010 (TF103C), with the plan to root it later. However, it turned out that we do not even have the device listed on this website. Such, the device is still unrooted. I used the device to do some Android Apps development using the AIDE- IDE for Android Java / C++ app. It is very comfortable to have a physical keyboard attached to your Android tablet when programming. I also used the tablet later to plan hiking routes that I shared with my smartphone, at that time and still now an HTC U11 life, that I carry with me during the hiking to find the planned track. Since the ViewRanger app was retired, I have not really a reason to use the ASUS transformer pad.
Over the years, I have also helped some friends to root their devices using guides and ROMs from this side. One of them such converted their Windows Phone device to an Android OS based device.
I myself have taught myself programming BASIC in PureBASIC and on the TI-83 Plus with the age of 15. I later learned Delphi and Java in school, and C/C++, Python, and VHDL and Verilog during my studies at university. I finished my education with a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Nowadays, I am working in the Medical Technology industry as a software developer with Electrical Engineering background.

Hi Temmay, I'm Timmy! ^_^

Very interesting to read some background there and about your programming experience. There's a forum request thread but the mentioned devices are quite 'legacy' so I'm sure no new forum sections will be created for them. It seems you've been taking much care of your tech

 

[Eagle SM]

Well I am new guy here searching for rom development and other things.
Wanna see how you guys and what do with roms.

Unfortunately my journey here is because ive had a custom software "puppateer" installed on my phone along with my wife, 13yr old daughter, and mother in laws phones and according to what i seen on "github" it has been there for years with over 2000 contributors. Also smart tvs (daughters tv had hidden media player exporting files to god knows where) and BT in car also compromised Multiple attempts on bank account 1 successful changed router, phones, gmail, phone numbers you name it we even went to apple and bought all new iphones because ive heard they have better security? NJ state police cyber security team now has old android phones for investigation smh either way nothing has worked all the privacy policys on anything that connects to the internet are gone replaced with third party open source licenses or intellectual property licenses? So any help at all would be greatly appreciated as im here to expand my knowledge on coding and software development. Also would anybody know how to disable a custom OS that has been installed? Not by me obviously lol.. Thank you

G'day Everyone.
I'm definitely a newly here.
I am looking for something out of the 'norm' for a Xiaomi My Mix 3 5g mobile phone.
This includes UI's, Widgets, etc.
Before resetting my mobile back to factory default, I had a great UI that included an awesome cube-like page-turning animation. Does anyone know of an addon like this?

Hello,
Thank you to acceipt me

 

[jashuwi]

hi folks.

a noob here. a total noob about everything on Android, so i might be quite often be asking questions on the technical terms or somehow got lost on your question about my post. please, pardon my lack of knowledge.
anyways, am here to learn about everything about Android especially on Redmi 9c.

Just found out my Moto g pure has a custom ROM. I don't even know how to do that. Might that explain why my digital life has been hell for years? I have three of the same model right now and a couple of other models with the same issues. Maybe they have custom ROMS, too, and I just caught this phone in time? Anyhow, I am pretty much a noob, other than discovering developer mode a week ago, and googling things related to changing back to standard Android OS. Looking for advice beyond what I can hunt down in this treasure of a site. I'm about to be a pain in your butts asking questions...Thank you in advance!

Hey there,

Thought the site was very nice (dark mode also very nice for the eyes ) I currently live in France and I'm a rookie avid to learn about phones and computers between two sessions of gardening and cooking

 

[Unknownleng]

First post (i think), been following XDA for yearsssssss. Always had questions but, the majority of the time I found my tech questions answered on XDA!

The time has now come when I need to ask specific questions myself, regarding technology and making my computing and tech life more accessible.

Excited to put XDA to use with my own fingers
