To the influx of new Android users, instead of posting here about rooting and what apps to get, please take a second to look at the sidebar to the right of your screen.

The side bar is filled with FAQs and many other helpful tools to help you get started as an Android user. Please refer to it instead of posting yet another post about the same thing.

EDIT: If the FAQ doesn't refer to your specific device, then refer to XDA (also in the sidebar), which has Q&As in their forum and a useful (albeit clunky) search function.

EDIT2: There seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding this and the thing I'd like to point out is that users of this subreddit have to at least have some knowledge of how Reddit works to get here. To that end, they should be familiar with this very subreddit's search function. With that in mind, I'm going to suggest that the reason people get frustrated with constant posting of the same question is because they fail to grasp the usefulness of the basic tools allocated to every single subreddit.

So please, if the sidebar, google, XDA and countless other websites don't have everything you want to know, then please, by all means take a gander at what the search function can pull up for you. If, however unlikely, you can't what you're looking for, then by all means make a post about it.
