Android >> Simplified!

       

   Android! U mean that smartphone crap? Yeah. Most phones you find in the market nowadays run an Os called Android. Android was bought by Google .inc in 2005 and currently there are about a billion android devices running around. Starting all the way from a smartphone to a microwave over, run on android os!. Thats a pretty cool achievement for Google. But, what made android so popular?

• User friendly - Nothing in life can be made any simpler i guess.
• Java Platform - The most secure language ever.
• Open source - Any body can modify personalize the native code for their phone.
• Linux based - All kernals(will talk about this later) are linux based which provides high performance.
• Bug free - Java, says it all.

        That pretty much explains why android is super cool. If you would like to know how android devices work, go here(Highly superficial explanation).So, basically there are two kinds of people.

1. I'm satisfied with the features on my phone. 
2. I wanna try out some cool stuff with this device.

Well if you belong to the first set of people, i will not suggest you to read any further. lol., I belong to the second category i guess. I try out a lot of stuff with my smart device. If you wanna know how? why? read on.

You will have to do the following stuff to continue.

1. Root : ^warranty void - Many users have a misconception that rooting your phones means changing the os or some crap! .well, its not! - Its basically getting super user permissions on your device. i mean, permissions to control your device processor,ports etc!If you have already rooted your device, then you are allowed to do anything with it.
2. Custom Rom - Once you have got all privileges to manipulate your device functioning you can Install anything you want to try. I am talking about changing the operating system, the set of instructions which  help a user to interact with the device. You will need to flash(install) a custom rom in order to try any os. Once you flash the Custom Rom, it can offer you 

•  New cool interface
• Better performance
• New features etc.

    3. Kernel - These are the drivers which interact between your os and the driver.They are mostly in c/c++.
        Changing these set of softwares made add cool features but may damage your device.

    

      Is that all?no. there are lots of things to learn, tons of cool stuff to try. All you need is patience and interest and a bit of courage. lol. So where you get this to learn? here.
Thanks for reading. See you soon!
