Does anyone know of any good websites that might have a guide to rooting and flashing (that sounds awfully rude !) Android phones ?
I've decided, on seeing Jelly Bean on Mrs Fab's new tablet that I want it on my phone. I want something called the PacMan Rom.
I've spent hours skipping from site to site, but every one I've been on so far makes the same error - they all assume you have prior knowledge of the subject, making references to things like 'recovery' <software>, with no explanation etc. If I'm going to dive in and risk bricking my phone, I'd like to go in fully armed and fully understand what I'm doing before I start !
So... do you know of a good guide for noobs ?

Whenever I get my next phone I'll root it straight away, it's so useful.

Out of interest why did you factory reset it after rooting? Was that part of the instructions? The first things I do after rooting are usually: create a full backup using clockworkmod (so I can go back to rooted stock later if I want); then titanium backup (so I can transfer my apps and settings to a new ROM if I want - you could just reinstall them but you'll lose your Candy Crush progress); and then smsbackupandrestore (so I can keep all those messages I never responded to last month). Only then do I start thinking about a custom rom.
If you dig around you can find a standalone google play apk. I've not had much success installing google apps from zip using cwm unless I do it immediately after installing a custom rom and before factory reset / switching the phone on.
I recommend UCCW if you have the time and patience. Finding the perfect clock widget can be a real ball ache, much better imo to just roll your own.

I'm going to have to try other roms.
Is this how it all starts?
