AVRCP
A2DP
PAN

I too would like to know this...? More so where would be the best place to begin learning how to preform a ROM dump of my current stock ROM, how to customize (cook) the ROM and create a .RUU.

More important than that, how do you "unlock" the phone. As in how do you mess around with SPL, HSPL, SSPL?

Where does Radio come into the equation?

I may be using terms incorrectly however, i am a noob.

Any and all help would be greatly appriciated. I just started to get into Unlocking/ROM's with my Imagio and I would love to learn how to do this on my own, in return I would be able to help others in the future.

Check the forum for your specific phone. I have thought about posting links, but there are so many phones and many have multiple options, it would be quite an addition. Easiest way is to go to the main forum and click your phone model. Unlocking/flashing instructions are usually right at the top.

Best place to learn is by browsing the forums here and over at XDA-Devlopers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/). It is hard to put anything definitive on questions like that because it all varies based on phone model and carrier.

Radio is what the phone uses to receive a signal, some ROM's have updated radios built in, but most do not, as the radio is usually carrier specific, and by leaving the radio unchanged the ROM will work across many carriers. Most of the time if you are looking to upgrade your radio it is a separate upgrade, and again phone and carrier specific.

Hope this helps! Sorry it took so long, haven't had much free time.

Could someone please tell me what is meant by a "curtain" as it pertains to the TP2 screen?

The glossary has been updated. In relation to the TP2, from what I have seen it mainly refers to the deactivating the touchscreen.

If still unsure as to the meaning, please use the term in the context you are trying to figure out.

Please remember to hit thanks!
