# Where to get Android Mods and alike :::warning :warning: under construction! ::: > How do I even get all of this? > [name=Some Random Reader] > [time=May 8, 2022] I'd recommend by just using your favourite search engine *(e.g Google, DuckDuckGo, StartPage)* Seriously, type in your device's Name, Codename, or Model Number, add "ROM" or "Root" or something at the end, and *é voilá!* you got yourself some <span style="font-size:12px; color:grey">(usually)</span> decent results! ### The XDA Forums You're struggling to find anything? *Maybe the [XDA Forums](https://forum.xda-developers.com/) can help!* the XDA Forums have been along for quite a long time, and have been used to share Android ROMs, Mods, Apps, and more over the years. At one point they even had an App Store! There's tons of Forums for different devices available, start by heading to the site and searching for yours! ### Telegram After XDA, people started heading to Telegram, it's common to find people which maintain device-specific groups, all the way from the Galaxy S2 to more high-end devices Another great place to start would be [Android Repository](https://t.me/AndroidRepo) on Telegram. It currently has around 25.000 subscribers and has been around since 2018, giving nothing but quality Apps, Magisk Modules, and more!
