Android is open source and free to use by developers, who can make modifications for specific devices and release them as "custom ROMs." The first Android phone was released in 2008, and since then its development and growth have accelerated exponentially. In case you just emerged from a time warp from the 1800s ( I say, look at all of the horseless carriages!), Android is Google's mobile operating system based on Linux. Specifically, I have a Nexus 6P running Android 7.0, and a 2013 Nexus 7 running Android 6.0.1. To make things easier (for me, at least), I will refer mostly to "stock" or "vanilla" Android, which is the pure unadulterated version of Android that Google has on its Nexus devices. Keep in mind that there are hundreds of different Android devices in use today, with varying Android versions and manufacturer-specific tweaks to the interface, so a guide like this can't be one-size-fits-all.

To jump to specific sections of this guide, follow these links: I'll try to keep the terminology pretty basic, but if you start wondering what's meant by terms like RAM, GPU, kernel, or "phone call" (so, people actually talk to each other using these things?!?), then refer to The Android Dictionary. To a certain extent, I will build upon the massive original Getting Started guide written by milominderbinde back in 2010, so he still deserves a lot of credit. It is by no means a comprehensive guide, but I will suggest links here and there for further reading as well as links for apps that may expand your device's capabilities. Īll set? Then here we go! The purpose of this thread is to act as a launchpad for those of you who are completely new to Android, whether you've moved over from an iPhone, a Windows Phone, or a Blackberry, or you're a newbie to the whole world of smartphones. Before you go any further, please be cool and review the Community Rules & Guidelines, which go a long way towards making this forum a fun and comfortable place in which to hang out. Here you'll find over 2.8 million members discussing the whole gamut of Android issues and beyond, overseen by a crack team of Moderators, and assisted by your friendly neighborhood Ambassadors (a group of volunteers who share a pathologic urge to help those in need of Android assistance). You've come to the biggest and best Android forum around.
