I have read a few posts in this section, but it is totally impossible for someone like me (new to smartphones, flashing and the rest) to understand anything. Would you please explain some of the terminologies used here? Some of them are: kernel, 3g, port, system.ext2, BT... and thousands more...

So I'm wanting to make a Scrabble like game, but using a different dictionary that only list computer science related words and software development terms. So you can use proper nouns like PHP (And most common acronyms will be supported) or Java, pretty much any word that has to do with...

but I just wanted to post a link here to ask the Mods if they think it has any suitability over here... or if it is too specific to Herald/Wing. It has just 2 images, but tries to frame the idea of flashing from a non-techie point of view. It's in 3 posts: Post 1 of 3...
