[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorsportgod:
Wow what a response!

Cool, so first up i should go to the latest spec firmware {using se update service} ?

THEN, the rom i am looking at is [MOD][rendeiro2005]Cyanogen6.1.1_v02 {i now have it in zip}

It looks good from what i have read.... opinions?

So i have titanium backup as well, and ive watched videos on how to use it so ive got that sorted - as far as flashing a new firmware... some posts say you need a new kernel as well?

Sounds like my backup root is a good option, again, if i flash a whole new rom does it stay on the phone somewhere/somehow?

Hey thanks for the info guys its appreciated
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
If you flashed 2.0.A.0.504 global generic, then update service should work. If you flashed a regional firmware, then you should use the Flash Tool 0.2.9.1 to flash global generic 2.1.A.0.435. Then flash baseband, if needed.

Then use flash tool to root, optimize, and install xRecovery. Do a full backup with xRecovery of 2.1, so you can easily switch back to 2.1 if wanted. Also, backup with Titanium Backup or Mybackup Pro, to restore apps and data on your new rom.

Download rom custom zip to sdcard. Go into xRecovery. Wipe everything. Install custom rom zip. Using custom kernel is not mandatory, I don't think. Just need correct baseband. Restore apps and data with Titanium Backup.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorsportgod:
i flashed the new generic no worries, re-rooted phone and installed xrecovery, used titanium backup and that worked well so all my apps and setting were as applied {including mod bootscreen} then after that i thought i should start xrecovery and load restore the backup i had made there.... it went through the process fine then said recovery finished reboot phone, so i did, and phone started to boot as normal, including with the different boot screen but then it just went to blank screen and the light at the top of the phone just shone bright white for a min or two.... then it started doing this and rebooting over and over and over.....for a half hour! so i reflashed the new generic and re-did ti backup, re-rooted and am wondering did xrecovery do that because my recovery file was made under my old firmware? or what else did i do wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upcoast:
When going between firmwares and especially going from 2.1 to 2.2 or 2.3.

I suggest not using your back up from the previous rom.

There are compatibility issues with some apps.

When you clear your battery cache, I suggest you make sure your fully charged.

Font want your phone to think half charge is full.

You don't need to clear your cache......but you should.

It will work with out clearing the cache.

But it could fc or just go bananas.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Bootloop.... sounds like you are using wrong baseband, or you tried to reinstall xRecovery and Busybox. You don't need to worry about root, JIT, or xRecovery with custom ROMs. It's in there already... :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorsportgod:
Ive re-flashed phone with new firmware 2.1.A.0.435 Kernel is 2.6.29 Baseband is 2.1.54.

Re-rooted, re-loaded my titanium backup and phone is now as it was before i tried restoring xrecovery backup file and resulting bootloop.

now i will make a new xrecovery backup as my phone is now - All this trial and error stuff is exhausting!

Still thinking i should flash 435 Kernel?

Im happy with that so far - now i am going to try the 3g build.prop mod to see if i can get an improvement there.

Ive got speedtest but every test is so varied {from 1200 up to 420 up next test} so i don't know how well that will go.

Only after ive got a grip on all that stuff i will go for a new rom, mainly because i fly away for a weeks work in two days and wont have time to fix anything i do wrong! thanks again guys ill be donating next week to the helpful souls on here!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Restoring backup file in XRecovery is why you still have Bootloop. You just set it back to the error you had before.

Instead, do a fresh install of the custom rom zip.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
You may need to flash the baseband patch if the rom isn't for baseband .54.... Flash the rom, then the baseband patch
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorsportgod:
Sorry my last post made it sound like i was back to bootloop, what i meant that after i re-flashed to standard, re-rooted ect ect without trying to restore with xrecovery my phone was back to working like it should with all my apps and multi touch ect working! so baseband is the next thing i will look at flashing....... Thanks again
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Baseband 54 works for Rendero's rom.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
Our use the patch with any 2.2 based rom. I'm on miui now with .55 and the patch and it works perfectly
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denenatse:
i recommend using Wolfbreak's cm6, its the most stable I've found so far, with Jerpelea's cm7 for future ROM. just make sure that once you've installed xrecovery, you don't have to reinstall it, once you are rooted, no needs to reroot.

I installed the intended rom no drama thus time, had it on for a week. All apps and contacts extra work good and phone is faster! If only the x10 had more ram. Now just thinking what next rom should be
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pissat4motion:
If you're looking for your next rom u could try tripnravens 2.2 rom. I'm going between trips and wolfs roms..both are stable and different enough to change things up. I'm on bb54 and used cobratos bb patch for trips..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drawde:
I've tried a few of the kernel's floating around, my phone won't OC on any of them except imoseyon's lean kernel (nornal @ 1.41).. am i doing something wrong? or does my phone just suck?

they work fine at stock speeds, but any OC at all will cause it to freeze and reboot. i figured i'm better off for now not listing the kernel's that aren't working for me as I don't want to deter anyone else from using them as apparently it's working great for most other people.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4nntheman:
Well not all processors are alike. When they are manufactured they take the weakest one on the board as the base speed for that board you must of got the weak one. sorry replace it somehow.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drawde:
i thought it might be something like that but I thought I'd get a small difference (me 1.4 while other people get 1.5, whatever) versus me unable to do ANY oc on some kernels
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
As said, everyone's phone is different. With my first INC I couldn't go past 1.03 without it freezing, others were fine at 1.2. You could try and get it exchanged, if you really wanted to, and get another one that might OC better. But that's if you think it is really worth it. ;)

[Captivate General] mwiz123:
should i update to froyo or keep it eclair ?
[Captivate General] askpcguy:
Depends largely on how you use the phone. Froyo brings flash to the mobile web and there might be other improvements.

Sent from the miui matrix SGH-i897
[Captivate General] Futang44:
Update to froyo.

For an enhanced experience try cognition rom.
[Captivate General] jermyer:
Update. Why stay behind? I try to stay ahead of the curve. Besides, a few apps require some 2.2 features.
[Captivate General] rheanjd:
Hey guys i am sure this is one of the most common questions in the past but I am trying to update my captivate to 2.2 and I am quite lost... I have tried looking around on the Q.A's but didnt find anything... I have windows 7 and kies is not showing that it is able to connect to my captivate. I have no idea how to update this.... Pls help...
[Captivate General] LucasBrazil1984:
Honestly, why bother with official 2.2 update? There are several outstanding froyo roms out there and they're so, so easy to flash right now, I'd guess you run a greater risk of bricking your phone messing with Ota or kies (although I can't say for sure, since I never bother flashing stock 2.2).

Just browse dev. section.

[Captivate General] rquiett:
I too think you should go with a custom rom. To answer your question I remember hearing there were some issues with the drivers for the 64 bit version of windows 7. My guess is that is where your problem is. Try reinstalling the drivers
[Captivate General] rheanjd:
I was thinking of flashing the device to one of the custom roms however I would need to root it rite?.. I just got the phone so i am a little nervous with rooting jus yet... The reason for even trying to update is the phone just started freezin sometimes...
[Captivate General] MurphyZombie:
If the phone is freezin and you haven't done anything to it. It might be a good idea to take it back and get a new one before you do anything. Flashing a custom rom might take care of the problem or there might be something broken hardware wise.
[Captivate General] LucasBrazil1984:
You don't really need to root the device in order to flash it. But, I think it's good to learn how to do it, anyway. I think there are some basic skills everyone should know before flashing the phone:

- different ways to get into recovery and download mode;

- how to use odin;

- how to issue adb commands;

- how to root and install clockworkmod recovery;

- what's a jig and how to make it;

Among other things. Even though, you can flash most roms just by naming the zip file update.zip and using 2e recovery.

Better yet, upgrade to 2.3.

CM7 Inspire 4G
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
^ What he said. READ READ READ and then READ some more.

After you understand what you are doing, I'd recommended flashing one of the Android 2.2.1 "FroYo" i9000 ROMs with an appropriate i9000 reoriented kernel and modem.

CM7 (Android 2.3.3 "Gingerbread") isn't quite ready for a beginner user to flash yet, and the same goes for the beta 2.3.3 i9000 based ROMs beginning to float around the Captivate Development section.

IMHO, you'll find your phone responds much faster with FroYo, you'll get better battery life, and access to a wider range of apps in the market (since many require 2.2+). Not to mention some other goodies like Flash 10.2, Voice Search, and the latest versions of Google Maps and GMail.

For more info on the differences between Android versions, and whether or not you'll get more out of your phone, check out the Wikipedia article on Android versions.
[Captivate General] htcgee703:
I agree froyo is a lot faster but i am using purplelicious with onix kernel 1.6

overclocked at 1.3. Excellent benchmark.
[Captivate General] mwiz123:
i did and my phone bricked

apparentley bootloders and roms dont mix... :(
[Captivate General] leezrd:
They could flash continuum5 with bootleggers and then have gb that would be best way for beginner instead of cm7

Thing to do really my friend wants 3rd party apps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
ah screen shots, much easier than explaining that the search function at the top of the screen is mostly useless. but the other search function works well.

most brick situations happen due to bootloaders being flashed. either a mismatch or when the flash gets interupted during that 1second window.

lesson here is dont use the oneclick odin to restore to att 2.1 stock because it has bootloaders.

other than that it is difficult to mess things up beyond repair thanks to odin and a jig that can force download mode provided the bootloaders aren't too messed up.

Some of you may be familiar with the community website 'CouchSurfing' http://www.couchsurfing.org/

There is no doubt a demand for an Android app to facilitate for users of the website. My research indicates that there are others who are keen to do this, however the Couchsurfing website doesn't have an API to facilitate for the creation of an app.

I suggest visiting this thread on the CS wiki and help to encourage CS to implement an API in their website.

Any further suggestions welcomed!

Update:

For anyone interested, the CS team replied to my email saying:

If you want it, then let them know there's a demand :)
[Android Software Development] MarkusPO:
an api costs time, an app to take advantage of that api costs time.

and as time is money, unless you're willing to fund it, why should the website owners care? it depends on how it could be monitised. simple as.

something that wiki article completely overlooks. it's like... it was wrtten by people with no concept of costing.
[Android Software Development] wrapper:
CouchSurfing is a non-profit organisation so it doesn't have a business-orientated model (thankfully there are still some things out there like that).

It may cost some time & effort to API the website, but the return is that CS would be brought into the future of mobile computing which is invaluable really. Many apps, particularly on Android, are not developed on a monetary basis. I don't see why this would be any different.
[Android Software Development] MarkusPO:
you're missing the point. even a non-profit has costs. how many trustworthy developers are going to work for free?

no, it will cost, money. and, not "may", it will. you've obviously never done any api work to know that it's not simple. once completed, there are ongoing security problems, additional bandwidth problems, updating...

"invaluable really"? wtf. again, you're missing the point, it's about ROI. "being brought into the future of mobile computing" doesn't pay dev bills. face it, it's just a "cool".

i'm sure more are than you realise. ever notice those ads in the 'free' apps.

after running a few websites where the readers felt that they had a share in the site and demanded that i do xyz to improve it in their eyes, i completely understand both points. however, unless you're going to pay for the dev work, why should the owners care? you're just - to them - a mouthy user who wants more than you're getting - for free.
[Android Software Development] wrapper:
I appreciate your concerns. There is a monetary value attached to this, and clearly you see that as the most important issue.

You don't, however, speak on behalf of the CouchSurfing team. Their website is run off donations. If there is demand for improving the website to allow for features like this, a push can be made for further donations. There is also the possibility to profit from the app via advertising or a paid/donation app.

Thank you for highlighting some of the potential issues. I didn't post this to have an debate about the viability of such an application, rather to encourage anyone who is interested in the website and the progression of an Android app to contribute.
[Android Software Development] MacCool:
I'm a User Experience and Interface Designer, so if anyone starts work on an app, I'd be very happy to help with UX, usability and overall design. :)
[Android Software Development] Metorks:
Yes, please

Just adding my support for a mobile CouchSurfing app. I'd gladly make a $10 or more "donation" for a paid app of this sort. It would really be beneficial for Surfers who are on the road as the desktop site is rather clunky on a mobile browser.
[Android Software Development] bluppfisk:
I've just contacted them and told them I'd be willing to develop an API for them. For free. I don't care, I want to do Android development and I need a project to work on in order to learn.

If they let me (that's still the question), I would love to discuss with anyone above interested in developing an app, in return for sharing information about and source code of said app (ie. I want to peek in your code).

I also want to do a similar thing for Eurostop, a European carpooling website. The German counterpart "mitfahrgelegenheit" has an app that's worth imitating.

Recently I've been toying around with MiUi 1.3.5 and grew to love the new look of the MiUi music player. But due to the fact that 1.3.5 is still in development and can't send/recieve MMS or recieve SMS, I decided to jump back to a stable ROM. Sadly I couldn't take the music player with me! I searched around for an updated version supported by the Epic to no avail. Until I stumbled upon one that a beautiful person over on the Lg Optimus S had posted. And well, it worked!
