Just find an existing update package (any of them) and modify the update script to your liking and also put files in /system/ that you want in your ROM. (You could also put files into /data/app/ to load your programs, but I use A2SD which needs to be mounted first).

This also inserts my favorite Boot animation and favorite HTC keyboard into the ROM. My media files I keep in the /sdcard/ directory, so I just delete them from the ROM as well.

The benefits of doing this is that I can leave this on the root of my sdcard and just flash this ZIP after flashing a ROM.

Both methods are great (Update.zip is method I use). Not to mention, with this method, you don't have to be on a computer to do it. Just write the update file once, always leave it on your SD Card and run whenever you want... that's convenient to me.:D

Plus both files can be distributed to someone whose not tech savvy to wipe what they don't want... thank god!:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
Not saying Root Manager isn't a good purchase, but a .bat file will remove all the apps I want gone faster than any other method I've found. Just double-click and they're all gone! :cool:

Well... personally, there's no need to pay for something if you're capable of doing it yourself (Not saying you aren't) -- especially when this method is more streamlined and a lot more efficient.

Couple questions:

1) What language is the update script written in? Can we get syntax for that somewhere?

2) Along with that, is it possible to pull the apps i downloaded via market and push them back after a flash with this update.zip? I think you said just add to /system/app directory, right?

3) There has to be a cache or setting that we can save so android knows what widgets we had installed on what screen including apps shortcuts. That'd be sweet.

[Legend General] Tillertow:
So I'm having this minor issue with the Legend, or rather, the power button.

The button seems to be very hard to press down on the right side, and very loose on the left side.

I don't know if this is how it's supposed to 'feel', which is the point of this post.

Do you guys have any problems with the power button?

It feels as if there's a 'gap' between the surface the button is supposed to press against when you press on the loose end (left side of the button).

Also makes a click sound when you press is softly (phone is not activated)

If that makes any sense :)

Hi guys,

I tried searching for this. I am trying to find a stock 1.5 Rom to flash to my Sprint Hero. Does anyone know of a link to the ROM version of the 1.56 RUU. The Gumbo 1.5c I flashed still has some weird stuff on it. (wifi tether, Gumbo under status/build).

Unfortunately, I was one of the boneheads who used the 2.1 ROM Leak. I was able to follow posts on gaining root access again. However, I'd like a stock 1.5 if possible.

I know its impossible for me to use the 1.56 RUU due to the hboot being different.

Thanks so much.

With most screenprotectors you can easily remove them by pressing with your nail at the edge of the protector (press it parallel tot the screen). I don't think the X10 protector will be any different.

best way to remove screen protectors is to use scotch tape ~ stick it on a corner tighten it by pulling away from the phone and lift ~ try several time and different corners if it doesn't lift. i've done it with thousands of phones as i used to work @ places that applies them ~ works every time
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerboii:
and why would you want to remove it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydirt:
I do not want to remove it. I'm a fan of using screen protectors as having a permanently scratched screen makes me cry. So I want to make sure I do have one and if not, to get one ASAP. So I tried to lift a corner to see if it indeed does have a protector applied. Even after reading these posts and the link that was directed to me I can not remove this alleged protector that's already on my screen.

It's funny, because I have watched some un-boxing videos and some show screen protectors that came in the box with the device. (Rogers does not) I'm curious to as why that would be if there is one already on the device. Is it that it was an "extra" protector or merely one that was expected to be placed on by the user; where as the Rogers version apparently has theirs already installed by the manufacturer?

It's hard to get a definite answer as people post here from many many different countries. Each x10 launch in the countries has been different in some way. Some with the screen protector in box like I mentioned, some with a 8gb sdcard, some with a 16gb, some with a head set AND the mw600 in the box, some with just the ear phones and no mw600...

So I still stand by my own findings, I can not remove this invisible screen protector, using tape, or the other tricks floating around, making me believe that it does not have a "typical" screen protector that is applied on top of the actual screen. A few calls to various local Rogers stores has yielded zero results in confirmation, with all 3 saying , "No, the x10 does not come with a screen protector in the box" when I ask "what about it being already installed" and they scoff saying they have never heard of that. :confused:

Zagg screen protector

I bought the Zagg invisi-shield after i saw one on an iphone. Took me a good 45 mins to get it on with out any bubbles. I think its worth the extra cash as you get full body coverage and it improves the grip - so it doesn't feel like its gonna slip out of your hands all the time (a must for me as i habbit of droping things like this).

Also i'm not a fan of silicon covers or leather pouches - whats the point of spending money on a good looking phone like the X10 and then have to cover it up??? Show it off i say!!!

The protector that is fatory fitted* is more of a scratch resistant layer that i don't think can be removed - i had a go at picking at it but it seems to be on there pretty good (may some sort of permanant adhesive). I have applied my Zagg on top of this.

*note that i am not refering to the nasty film that you have to remove when you get it out of the box.

Applying an other protector on top the stock one doesn't sound like a good idea to me. It could make the screen a lot less responsive. XDA-user Trekster (from who are the pictures above) reports that the screen is a lot more responsive without the stock protector on it. However it also gives protection so I leave it on there. Doubling the protection though is useless imho.

appliying the Zagg

Just a quick tip when applying the Zagg protector:

Some of the smaller parts used to protect the sides of the phone are a bit tricky and won't stick on properly becasue the installation solution is applied to it. what i found was if you stick it as best as you can and position it correctly, once it dries a little, you can stick the rest down.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh3675:
I stand corrected, looks like you can remove it. trying to decide whether to remove it or not. your point about the responsiveness (if thats a word) is a good one.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
Well I took the SE screen protector off and was left with a screen that felt all tacky as though the glue has been left on by the protector, luckily I got a screen protector with the case I bought and put this on.

I'm interesting in getting the invisible shield for x10 as well but I'm not sure if they did any improvement on their current products?

I've been using the invisible shield products for most of our electronic devics in the past and they usually will turn yellowish after couple months and edge will also collect dust plus it also has a orange peel effect on the screen after it dried.

Does your screen has orange peel effect? OR does anyone has a similar experience as mine with invisible shield products?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydirt:
I have the exact same experience with my previous devices and the Invisible shields. The edges end up collecting dust, fuzz, hair and end up slightly lifting, only a mm or so around the edges, but its enough for this grit to collect under neath and make your device look like junk.

I wish there was some type of clear coat spray on for devices. A thin rubbery crystal clear primer/coat that you just spray on your device all over in thin coats, completely sealing your device in a near invisible "skin". Making it even water proof! :D

Got my Clear-Coat today, and just applied it.

The hardest part was removing the factory-installed screen protector. I was amazed (when I finally did) just how thick it is. It's quite hefty. After that, the installation went smoothly though I did have to pull it off and re-apply to adjust it as I started to squeegee to soon. It is a bit difficult to hold the sheet in position while squeegeeing, but luckily you have a few minutes to adjust (and even pull off and re-apply as I did).

It's curing now, but is stuck sufficiently I was able to wipe it down and try it out (carefully). The screen seems more touch responsive, and I love that it doesn't really pick up fingerprints.

I definitely recommend it.

this type of device only

,, oh and it's kinda orange peal-ish in the structure wich i atleast imagine takes away some of the sharpnes in the screen. Still its fine on screens with less resolution that you dont use your finger on so much..
