3. Installing an open source Operating
System
Installing an open source Operating System on
your phone and not using the Operating System
provided by the manufacturer may cause your
phone to malfunction.
WARNING: If you install and use an
Operating System other than the one provided
by the manufacturer, your phone is no longer
covered by the warranty.
WARNING: To protect your phone and
personal data, only download applications from
trusted sources, such as Android Market. If
some applications are not properly installed on

to access your phone if you use an incorrect
pattern five times. You have five chances to
enter your unlock Pattern, PIN or Password.
If you have used all five chances, you can try

applications keep running even when you open
another application. There’s no need to quit an
application before opening another. Use and

them as needed, to ensure that idle applications
don’t consume resources unnecessarily.
