Here is an idea, and I can not find this any where on KZitem currently, just a straight upp break down of the options that you are given once you turn your phone on by holding down the volume down button and power at the same time. For example, mine says "Start" does that mean start the phone. "Recovery Mode?" If I click on that I get given a bunch of other options, what do all of those do? No one yet has actually taken the menu list, and explained what each option does. I know to a lot of people reading this are pprobably saying "Well that's because that is too obvious or elementry!" According to your standards or level of expperience, but if you're like me and just trying to get your pphone to stop giving me only two options being: A. Lose all your data, numbers, work, contacts, pictures, and make your phone work again like you just got it, or B. continuously try to restart your phone, then a break down of what to click (And more importantly what not to click and why) would be ppretty helpful right about now, and no one has does an educational video like that yet. Or at least that I can find!

Ran out of room, replying to myself. It's also used in the context of setting up your OS (or raw code on the machine.) Gentoo used to be fun to build from the different stages, but it's mostly only Linux from scratch that still walks you through it. Also when making an OS it's seen as being "complete" when it can bootstrap itself; taking the source code and being able to compile and install it from within the same OS. Linux first had to be built in Minix, until it could bootstrap itself.

I'm a fan of this idea, as a dabbler and a non-expert. I'm, in fact, the furthest thing from an expert as you can possibly get while still flashing custom ROMs using safestrap. I think this will be a good way to expose some of the more powerful aspects of the OS to some of those who would otherwise find rooting/flashing/etc confusing and intimidating. Searching XDA is pretty cool but this could be even more accessible. Android is a great OS; let's let people unleash its power.

I own an ASUS TF700T (purchased in August, 2012). I unlocked my bootloader a few days ago as the device's responsiveness was slowing and support for future Android releases appeared to be unlikely. Unlocking the bootloader permitted me to add Crombi-kk or KitKat. As the warranty period had already passed, there was little in the way of risk.
