XDA's Android Hacker's Toolkit - The Complete Guide to Rooting, ROMs and Theming Paperback – Import, 25 May 2012

I had a smart phone that ran on an earlier version software. I bought this book as a primer to understand how to upgrade the phone software as the manufacturer was not going to upgrade. Some of the information has become obsolete but with further research it helped me upgrade my old phone.

This book it seems to be pretty decent book explains to you the nuances of what a cell phone is I happen to be a very computer literate and can quite grasp the concept of a cell phone but I did need a little bit of help the operating system is a Lennix operating system so for those of us who understand Lennix really well should get full benefit of this book I learned a lot of things but haven't quite finished the book yet for those of us who want to really understand their android device this book is worth a look.

Aber wie viele solche Bücher unredigiert, also manches doppelt, manches ohne Erklärung, halt nicht von guten und ausgebildeten Autoren, sondern von Geeks. Ist ok, aber bei Büchern erwarte ich - old fashioned - mehr Nachbearbeitung.Egal - endlich ein Buch über 'wichtige' Themen, Rooten, Recovery, und ähnliches. Insofern, wenn es ginge, inhaltlich erfüllt es die Erwartungen (5 Punkte), stilistisch nicht :-)

What can I say about this book? Do-It-Yourself Tutor, Brilliant author, Easy-to-follow guides, etc. In fact it is my Bible so long as Hacking Android is concern. I am now confident in choosing the way I want my Android device to be. Considering the benefits you acquire by using this book, the price is right for me.

very good for beginners in Android worldinteresting tips and hacks !but I think the examples are out-date !
