If you are new to Android then stay away from such things as rooting and adb because if you do something wrong - as did one member of this forum - you could end up with a brick, a device that does not work and will not work no matter what you try to do.

Not all programs work on the edge therefore trying to make them work usually ends in failure and problems.

At the stage you are at with Android it is far better just to use what does work and ignore what doesn't. If there is some app that you think you must have but it doesn't load, ask about it here because there may be an older version that does.

Most of the apps that don't work are looking for things that are available on Android phones but not on the edge - usually things like gps, tilt sensors and so on. As long as apps look for what is not there and insist on them being there to work there is no way you will get them working on the edge. Not all apps require everything they are looking for to work, it is just bad programming if, for example, a map app insists on geo location to work and won't work without it when all you need to do is enter your location to get a map that you can use.
