The XDA Developers’ Android Hacker’s Toolkit. Written by Jason Tyler with contributions by Will Verduzco. The book provides new users what they need in order to dive into the world of Android modification.

Quote from Will Verduzco:

The book takes you through the basics of Android customization, starting with rooting various example devices. These devices range from those seemingly designed for modification such as the Google Nexus One, and extend to some of the more locked down devices of recent memory. The book then touches on the fun things can be accomplished with your newly rooted device. And finally, it covers setting up and using the tools required to get started in theming and customizing your own device to make it truly your own. All in all, the book is geared at helping new users learn more about their favorite mobile OS, starting from the ground-up.
