I am pretty technical and have a lot of experience with android devices of all types.
I have a habit of posting detailed tutorials, so those with less knowledge can feel comfortable doing cool things to their devices.
My real name is Randy King and I live in Las Vegas.
I have pretty much been a computer / technology fanatic since I was born.
I have owned some of the very first PCs, including a Commodore PET way back in the day.

Some news I wanted to share with you guys: ARTICLE
Compare with all the sharing and community sense that kings XDA Developers.
This is a nice excerpt from the article:
Apple’s stance contrasts sharply with the Windows Mobile world, where developers are seen as the life blood of the ecosystem, 3rd party applications are expected to be installed from the start, and developers do not have to jump through any hoops to distribute their application.

So if you have cool articles let me know so I can post.

Nice article, but I really don't get the fanboyism and anti this and and anti that. I have my diamond, and I am extremely happy about it. Reminds me of the old school AMD vs Intel/ATi vs nVidia wars scouring hardware forums not so long ago. It's just STUFF! Things. Devices. Not ideology; someone with an iPhone isn't less of a human being than others. No wonder there's war in this world.

well, to be completly honest, apple started it to make it into something different. they want it to be a movement.... you have to think apple to own a mac.
the I'm a mac guy underlined the whole thing even more.
so I'm totally comfortable with the bashing in case of apple, even though I own a macbook and run mac os on it.
My bachelors degree is a mere waste in contrast to d interest i have in, In fact i'm not yet graduated & almost on verge of drop out from college due to lack of interest in d degree i'm pursuing on Civil Engineering.
My basic interest lies in tech which was limited to non technical stuff or basic stuff and have almost zero knowledge in programming but have a urge to master machine learning which is grabbing my mind a lot but have no idea where to start.
May be i sound little crazy as a guy who dreams high but practically applies nothing, Due to hectic schedule & examinations in my college, I wasted my valuable 1st two years due to lack of guidance, & from last 18 months i'm badly into learning about mobiles, android, PC stuff but that is limited to non technical, which even a layman could do if he has interest.
I'm from India and planning to do Masters in US. XDAis the only place i know where i can interact with great programmers who have accomplished something practically,
I'm aiming towards machine learning, So any suggestions where should i start from or any specific forum suggestion where i could get better help other than quora or reddit
Thanx for u'r time and waiting for u'r valuable advice
Hello, I am new here. I primarily joined to ask questions on installing someone's project documented here, but hopefully I will be able to do something myself eventually. I am mainly into older computers and video games consoles but I have recently realised that smartphones are more interesting than I previously thought, more like old PCs I suppose as they are closed systems unlike new PCs. I have a few phones and I've always thought i'd like to use them more but historically I've only really been interested in games and scene demos. I am supposed to be a technical guy but I only have a lot of breadth of surface level knowledge mostly on old computers and not much depth, mostly because of spending all my time dreaming and never doing or actually learning stuff other than reading Wikipedia articles. Hopefully I can change that and get around to learning more in depth. The trouble is finding information that allows you to learn more but is still at a level that you understand.
Anyway from the little i've seen this seems like quite a civilised community so hopefully I will get along with everyone and maybe I'll be able to help with things eventually.

Very nice intro!
Welcome to XDA, hope you enjoy your stay.
I am 16 years old and I am an Artist,
I was interested about everything in technology like hardware and software I got a high knowledge by watching YouTube videos and make some research about Computers/Gaming PC/a lot of things and of course smartphones
Especially when I decide to buy a mobile phone and I didn't know what brand or what type and what specs
I enjoy explore more and more about technology!
And here I am, challenging myself with technology, the simple words is Information Technology !
I hope I can find here Answers to my questions!! As I found many here! ツ

Hi and welcome aboard
HI!
I'm nomike (pronouns: they/them) living in Vienna/Austria.
I started rooting phones and putting aftermarket firmware on them back with my Samsung Galaxy S4 and CyanogenMod.
I regularly relied on posts here at xda for that and now finally created an account as I'm currently trying to mod a medion lifetab X10302 and need some advice on that.
I'm currently almost 40 years old and with 23 years of linux experience, the majority of those as a developer, sysadmin and cloud specialist, I consider myself an expert in that. I haven't rooted and modded android devices that frequently, so I'm certainly no expert there. I haven't kept track of the changes in the modding scene (e.g. I never used Magisk and don't yet fully understand the concept behind it or what it actually does), but I'm a quick study and I'm generally not that afraid of pushing a button to see what happens.
I have developed a couple of small open source projects over the years, but none of them are in widespread use, as far as I know. Probably at least partly because I don't care marketing them. And I collect small snippets on my personal homepage, but also not all too much.
My personal interests are collecting vinyl records (especially progressive rock), t-shirts, and retro computers (Commodore 64, Commodore 128. Amiga 500, Amiga 600, Atari 1040STFM), playing the drums and I'm currently learning how to play the guitar. Besides that I'm quite active in the local polyamory scene and I'm regularly giving talks and organizing discussion groups about safer sex, as I collected a lot of knowledge in that area in the last couple of years.
I guess that's all for the moment.
Cheers
