What is modding?
Modding is a slang expression that is derived from the verb, "modify", and the noun, "m
odification". The term can refer to the act of modifying a piece of hardware or software to perform a function not intended by someone with legal rights concerning that modification.
Here are a few definitions of some terms that you'll hear a lot of when you start modifying your phone.
Bootloader - This can be compared to the BIOS on a PC. It is low level software telling the phone what is what and where to find what it needs to operate. Bootloaders can be upgraded and downgraded.
Flash - This is the most common thing you modify on the phone. The flash is essentially the operating system of the phone. When you flash your phone it will adjust the various features of your phone.
Flex - These are the files that contain the cell phone service provider's branding on the phone. This is where things like your start up animation with the Cingular or T-Mobile logos and sounds come from. It also contains the specific menus and labels for programs they use like T-Zones or MEdia Mall.
Monster Pack - Includes the flash and the flex and a language pack for a specific language all in one file. It installs everything in one step. They come in many varieties, some are unbranded for Motorola.
Seem - The phone has numerous seems programmed into the operating system of the phone. These seems control every aspect of how the phone behaves such as: SMS being turned on or off by default, enbaling the roaming icon, raising the volume level on the various speakers of the phone, enabling ENS, etc.
These are the successful mods done by me to my V3i...
