From here, find the name of your device, click the appropriate guide, and get it ready for modding!

The initial list of devices supported in this guidebook is limited by the amount of devices accessible to the writers. If you are able to, please consider helping out.

Google Experience

These are Android devices that Google supported, designed, or otherwise used as reference devices. They tend to be the fastest to update and the most developer friendly.

  • [[LG Optimus G E970]] (E970) - While it's not actually a Nexus device, it is based on the exact same hardware as the Google Nexus 4, and can actually be transformed into a Nexus 4. That makes this phone desirable as a Nexus 4 with an SDCard slot and LTE.
  • [[LG Nexus 4]] (N4) - Status: - Awaiting release
  • [[Asus Nexus 7]] (N7) - Status: Complete
  • [[Motorola Droid]] (OGDR) - Status: Under Construction
  • [[HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1|HTC Dream|]] (G1) - Status:

HTC

HTC is a young Taoyuan, Taiwan based smartphone company that started out as a no-name brand designing the first Pocket PCs. HTC later became one of the hottest brands for creating the first and the best Android smartphones, at least for a while.

Incidentally, the name of XDA-Developers comes from HTC's O2 XDA Windows Mobile smartphones.

  • [[HTC J Butterfly]] - The Japanese variant of the HTC Butterfly/Droid DNA. It is one of the rare phones from this era that includes an SDCard slot by default.
  • [[HTC One X Evita]] - The Qualcomm Dual-Core variant of the HOX, sold only in North America by AT&T, Rogers, and Telus.
  • [[HTC One X]] - The Quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 variant of the HOX, sold internationally outside of North America.
  • [[HTC HD2]] (HD2) - Status: Nearly Complete
  • [[HTC Droid Incredible]] (DINC) - Status: Complete
  • [[HTC Desire Z/T-Mobile G2|HTC Desire Z]] (G2) - Status:

Motorola

Motorola Mobility is an old company that manages to create fleeting best sellers. Was taken over outright by Google, which heavily reformed the team before it was sold off to Lenovo.

  • [[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE]] - The best Android phone with a keyboard. Unfortunately, it is also the last Android phone with a keyboard, as Samsung mopped the floor with it. Not related to the terrible, similarly named Photon Q.
  • [[Motorola Droid 2]] (D2)
    • Guide Status: Under Construction
    • Stance: Anti-Developer
  • [[Motorola Droid 2 Global]] (R2D2)

Samsung

  • [[Galaxy Exhilarate|i577]] - Similar to the Galaxy S2
  • [[Verizon Galaxy S3|SCH-I535]] (Verizon Galaxy S3) -
  • [[Galaxy 5|i5500]] - Made before the Galaxy S, started with Eclair.

OnePlus

  • [[One|A0001]] - The 2014 flagship killer (Under Construction)

Other

  • [[Amazon Kindle Fire]] (KF) - Status: Under Construction
  • [[Nook Color]] (NC) - Status:
  • [[Nook Simple Touch Glowlight]] (NSTG) - Under Construction

Windows Mobile 6

XDA was originally named for the HTC Windows Mobile Phones, one line of which was known as the Xda. The modding community on this system made XDA the massive conglomerate it is today.

Unfortunately, the old forums that made XDA popular are beginning to fade away and collapse into link rot. Here, we attempt to salvage and liquidate the great work of XDA of the past, for the benefit of the future.

  • [[HTC Herald]] (WING) - Status: Complete, ROMs undergoing liquidation

Non-Android

  • [[TI-Nspire]]
