Hi, I'm new to forum. I would like to learn all I can about programming, modifying and messing with cell phones ( Droid X would be my preference but would like to learn all). Is there books, a site or anything else that I can buy to learn more? Getting my Droid early next week, I'm a bit excited can you tell!

Thanks Scott

Google has an app developer kit. I think its free. You should really try it out! You can even make money of making android apps! Google it! NOW NOW! I want more cool new apps.

Lots of information contained in this link

 

http://developer.android.com/index.html

 

poke around there and you will find a lot of information on Android. If you do not know any programming, I would suggest taking a class at your local college to learn the basics of programming. The information at this link is for people that understand programming.

I guess I didn't explain what I wanted to learn correctly. I would like to learn about how to set up, configure, root, and mess around with cell phones (Droid X).

Thanks Scott

To do those things, you will need to do an internet search for that. We cannot explain here because the forum moderators will remove the information before you can see it.

 

The owners manual is on the verizon site for download. That will help with the setup part.

 

Be advised that rooting your phone will nullify your warranty on the phone.

Thanks for info and explaining your reasoning behind your answer. I would like to learn these things not necessarily do things to my phone. 

 Thanks again
