It's true that probably more than 90% of the users in here don't have a clue of what they are actually doing. It would be good to educate them but in reality they shouldn't be playing around with root permissions, They problably don't even have a clue as to why they are implementing it. Educate them yes, but please don't fool around with stuff you don't have a clue as to what it might be doing to your system (phone) as is you give the wrong instructions it might even get you a no longer normal workng system.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imisky:
tried this method...titanium no longer tells me i have a uid of 10331(cant remember exact number now) and upon reboot superuser said titanium is asking for permission, all going well. however checked using adb shell and tihs is what it shows:

C:\ROOT\step4>adb shell

#whoami

whoami

whoami: not found

#su

su

permission denied

#

any idea wats going on? i finished the root following the other thread, titanium says i got root..i have # but no permission to check uid... (phone is in debug mode)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ttxdragon:
Glad I was able to help a couple of people =3

As for the shell, keep it. Tiny but usually very important part of the linux environment... I replaced mine with bash, though -> gives me tab-completion and a few other nice boni.

and it doesn't start out with root permissions, either.

h t t p : / / f o r um.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537827

has the instructions. works like a charm for me.

And geez, fjnty, take your own advice please. If you read 90% of the root threads you see posts full of ignorance about even the most simple of principles necessary for achieving root, it's just like that and it's always going to be like that. Early adopters overwhelmingly often lack the technical understanding you'd expect from someone who wants escalated privileges on their phone. Just giving a lot of them the ability to root is one hell of a security risk to them that they're willing to ignore. Just look at all the Windows Admin Accounts people use (without passwords, even!)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ttxdragon:
@imisky: try following my instructions just from the beginning -- it won't break anything, but it might miraculously fix something that just didn't want to work before...

though you might want to retry while having your phone not blanking the screen. maybe you just missed the prompt for perms on the phone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imisky:
i'll retry it from the beginning again hm..weird maybe i missed a line somewhere but i swear i ran it as it ill let you know what happens
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imisky:
weird it no longer denies me and gives me a # after the su but when i type whoami the 2nd time it says not found..busybox says im rooted...titanium says im rooted..its annoying that adb doesnt haha..

EDIT: am i supposed to install the newest busybox? or just download it

EDIT2: installed newest busybox and got everything. =) that was dumb of me haha...wasnt thinking works like a charm now!!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shvyue:
Thanks for the great job done by developers. However, I noticed mediascape was removed after root. Personally I think mediascape is nice but failed to install it from the app folder on sdcard. Searched the whole thread but didn't find a method.

I tried manually copy the mediascape.apk to /data/app, reboot, then mediascape is restored in the application drawer and can be run functionally.

Here is the details.

Connect the X10 to PC using USB debug mode.

Get the adb.exe ready (you can run it from the root step4 folder directly)

0. Copy mediascape.apk to the step4 folder.

1. Start command prompt as administrater.

2. Change to the step4 folder.

3. Run "adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system" without quotes.

4. Run "adb shell chmod 777 /data/app" without quotes.

5. Run "adb push mediascape.apk /data/app" no quotes.

6. Run "adb shell reboot" no quotes.

BTW: I have copied all the mediascape related files back to /system/app as well, by running "adb shell chmod 777 /system/app" and using adb push.

Seems it's not ideal as the apk is not installed but added to the X10 directly.

Any better ideas?

Nah, nothing can beat mediascape.

anyway, how can one get timescape back?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shvyue:
you mean timescape? or mediascape?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nosidefcp:
done this and mediscape still dont apear and cant install it through astro file manager
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shvyue:
Can you see mediascape.apk in the /data/app folder? If yes have you copied 4 mediascape files back to /system/app?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] corruptfate:
hmm I don't seem to have the app folder in my data folder, in my memory card o.O can someone help me out
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shvyue:
The data/app folder is not on your sdcard. Up one level.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Fuzalert2k:
I mean timescape
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nosidefcp:
done this and it works. mediascpae reinstaled in my rooted x10

open dos prompt with administrator privileges, change do step4 folder and do this:

Anyway, I was able to get Mediascape to work again using a small script I wrote (looking at those made by our developers).

Here's what i've done:

IMPORTANT: you must have *.apk and *.odex files on your sdcard!!

----------------------------------------------------

@echo off

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager.apk of=/system/app/MediascapePluginManager.apk

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager.odex of=/system/app/MediascapePluginManager.odex

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/MediascapePluginManager*

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/mediascape.apk of=/system/app/mediascape.apk

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/mediascape.odex of=/system/app/mediascape.odex

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/mediascape*

adb shell reboot

----------------------------------------------------

I don't know if this will work for all of you, but it worked for me.

Don't really know if this breaks anything in your X10, so use this at your own risk.

Thanks again for rooting this thing!!

hey is der ne way i can get mediascape running on ne othr device than x10??? just asking :)

Turn on USB-debugging mode. Run command prompt (start->run->"cmd"). Change to your step4 directory. Enter those commands line by line.

can some one please share mediascape.odex and MediascapePluginManager.odex files :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ooinaru:
Both the stock 2.1 gallery and for example doubletwist or poweramp kicks mediascapes ass when it comes to usability, I installed Z's 2.2.1 ROM a week ago and must admit that I dont miss media/timescape one bit :-) Bottom case is that I'll rather use a semi-stable 2.2 ROM than a slow SE rom ;-)
[EVO 4G General] streets1313:
any word on evo having an official oem high capacity battery? i know there are aftermarket/3rd party batteries floating around but i also hear they dont live up to there advertised power. and to be honest with the replaced backing they take away alot from the look of the phone (not that looks matter for a phone but hey if you have a choice why not go for the better looking?)

searching online i came across: http://database.leakdroid.net/images-post/leakdroid/htc_evo4g_extended_battery.jpg

its branded with htc logo but you loose the kickstand use. it makes the phone thicker but would be nice if i knew i was not going to have access to a charger for some time.

so has anyone heard any official news about battery options for the evo? with the popularity of the device you would think there would be more accessories for the device including batteries?

Everyone needs to harass these companies till we get the applications, especially Blockbuster because it already exists (I don't know anything about netflix). I imagine the Droid X has an exclusivity contract but it can't last for too terribly long.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ZeikHunter:
Recently, my power button on my original rhodium decided to quit working when the phone has the hardware keyboard out. its under warranty, so t-mo sent me a 'new' one. first thing i noticed was the 'make call' and 'end call' buttons were colored. my orig had all 4 buttons white. now i have a green and red button, as well as a windows key instead of the little house icon.

further poking around reveals that my orig phone is p/n 99hhz008-00, and the replacement sent to me is a z007-00 part number.

anyone have any different numbers? if so, what are the differences? anything other than cosmetic?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
As far as I know, these are cosmetic changes. I remember seeing a leaked article at TmoNews that T-Mobile wanted to color the Call and End buttons to make it more distinguished (something like that). This was also accompanied by the WM6.5 ROM...The TP2s used to be sold with WM6.1, but I think they are now sold with WM6.5 pre-installed. This is also related to the Windows Key...WM6.5 OS made a hardware Windows Key a requirement. T-Mo broke that "rule" by making their official WM6.5 ROM compatible without a hardware Windows Key. I guess they're starting to conform!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ZeikHunter:
but damn did i like the all-white keys....

and the home and windows keys are the same button, one just has the win logo...

maybe i should swap em before i send it back....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GiZZy:
i was actually about to make a thread just like this1. I just got my replacement device as well and thats the first thing i noticed, curious if there are any other changes as well but nothing from what i can tell visually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ZeikHunter:
alas, im stuck with the terrible colored keys and microsoft brand. got into the guts of the old phone, and even with a video tutorial, i just dont have the confidence to go hacking away at the gust of my replacement phone now that ive seen the inside of this monster.

ive rebuilt my original wing several times, but this... is just different.

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Joe333x:
are these the stupid protectors that tell you to install them with water? I ordered a set of 3 protectors off amazon for 2 bucks because they were the only ones available when the phone first came out and they all ended up in the trash within two days. I have ordered cheap protectors for my G1 and you just have to clean the screen and put the protectors on and it comes out perfect. Also I notice a lot of the new protectors are made of some rubbery stretchy material and not plastic like the ones I am use to.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Clom801:
Why not read the description and FAQ's in the link before you make a judgment. If you don't like it, return for a refund. Yes you use A LITTLE soapy water but as long as you don't drown your slide you should be good. After two weeks, this thing is still looking new:) .
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Evolution-22-:
Just ordered, hope its as good as you say =P
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] cswroe:
So far so good. There appears to be some slight distortion, I hope that it will clear up as the moisture evaporates and the protector adheres to the screen. Not sure if it is just a mental thing, but screen actually seems to be a bit more precise with this rather than the regular screen protector.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] civicdrivr:
x2

Mine came in today and I usually hate putting these things on but it was pretty painless. Im waiting for all the moisture to dry though. Ill have a better review of it in a few days.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] cswroe:
Just wanted to update. The distortion cleared up within a few hours. Now that the bubbles are gone (took a couple days) it is crystal clear. Overall, I am very impressed. It was $2 well spent.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] daewond3r:
Got mine in today. Everything looked cool until I put it on. That's when I noticed a piece of lint or something stuck just near the right edge. Couldn't get it off for the life of me. Sucks. Gonna order another one. Good thing these are only $2.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Phantisy:
I got thr same screen protector and it is just as good as any high dollar one. Worth the $2
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Evolution-22-:
This thing is awesome! It really looks nice I am very impressed, for $2 its one of the best investments out there for your phone.

I did have distortion the the first day but it cleared up to be crystal clear. Ordering another for my g/f tonight.

Edit: Just wanted to say that this protector does not leave smudges or finger prints at all. Had a protector on my HD2 and I still had aton of smudges and finger prints even with the protector.

Just the actual screen
