Root Root help for amateur

[RumblesUbamba]

I am new to android and want to get the latest android market to get the latest apps. What are "roms and kernels"? How do i install the latest android market?

Please do not refer me to a new thread because i've already looked at all the threads and everything is too technical for me.

When you go to the market it will automatically update if it has an update. You don't need to do anything special for that. If the threads are too technical, it may be wiser to leave well enough alone. If you don't understand what you're doing and how it works, it is very easy to turn your phone into a nice pretty paperweight.

I agree with mkbkr1, if you aren't willing to learn the technical details, you are risking your phone.

This thread has more useful information about rooting, roms, and kernels than most entire forums:

I know you said don't refer you to another thread, but I don't feel like typing a few pages worth of info just because you aren't willing to do your own research. Not trying to be rude, that's just the way it is.
