There are particular terms which is needed to be known in order to DO IT YOURSELF any developing in android...
So Here are some commonly used terms :-
ROOTING - Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem....
that is : Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user.
CUSTOM ROMS - A custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc - everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way.
HERE "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.
PARTITION OF SD_ CARD - All medium-low android phones have the limited internal storage. If you will install many apllications on your android phones, your internal storage maybe will decrease and affected the phone performace. So, you need to install your applications on your external storage/SD Card. That's why there is a partition of the SD Card. This method allows you to sacrifice a part of the memory of the SD card to install applications on the partition created, and save internal memory
BRICK - "This is the most dangerous term used for android devices"
In one common sense of the term, "bricking" suggests that the damage, often a misconfiguration of essential on-board software, is so serious as to have rendered the device permanently unusable.
However, another use of the term "bricked" is understood to describe a situation where a device is unable to function even when the device does have potential to be recovered later to a working state. In this sense, the damage may be reversible; it is only during the period that it's unable to function that the device is deemed "bricked". This is often referred to as a "soft brick" whereas an unrecoverable device is a "hard brick".
Although the risk of bricking your device is less until you take full precautions during your development!!
