Hey, have anyone else noticed performnce drop on theyr devices after the root ?

Pre-root i was able to browse xda-forums nice and smoothly, but now its rly laggy, like scrolling up and down it goes like tok, tok, tok...

And, new apss that you install / remove wount show / disapear from the menu before reboot...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gummismurfen:
Thanks for all your hard work.

If i root my phone will i still be able to use Swedish Language in it or is it just english?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OrionBG:
Yes we have but if have read the last couple of pages you'd know why is this performance drop!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] yangkanboy:
excellent work , i will try to root my x10 weekend
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sim-value:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Niceties:
I also noticed a performance drop... I installed Task Killer and saw I had about 70mb RAM free (lowest I've ever seen it) ... I aggressively killed lots of apps and it seemed fine.... now available RAM seems the same as before root. Maybe this will help you?

Well, the thread is over 500 replyes, so trying to find the information you need is nearly impossible...

At thispoint it would be smart to lock the thread, and gather some sort of FAQ for most common probs (java, x10 / i, )

Then make few new threahds for "root 'bugs' ", "probles in rooting apart the faq" etc etc....

Then you slap in some heavy handed moderation to keep the threads clean. That way there's chanse that peeps would find the info theyr looking for...

****loads of work, but it was "funny" to watch how the "anarchy" spreaded when the root was released... everyone tryed to root theyr device's like the root would only work for 2h after release...

But, just my 2 cents, not ment as a personal assault to anyone, just my opinnion :)

I believe I may be the first person to have an issue getting this to work. Though I believe it may be an issue with my PC rather than the flash utility provided.

Anyway, this issue I have is that every time I run step1.cmd I get a checksum error and an exception in thread "main" error.

Any idea to what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance! :)

It means that the thread OP can post more stuff on the first page later. Its to help users find relevant information faster.

Man... this only a few pages long, but I guess its too much to ask to read any posts... Anyways, see page 2, skip step 3 for X10a or if you are really advanced, then replace files from X10a firmware under step 3 folder.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tom-Helge:
I'm just very happy in my pants right now heh :D.

But i have a question though. After you have extracted the files in the XAR rar file, then you have the ROOT folder, then you have the step4 folder. And inside there you have a folder called "app".

Is it possible to change some of those programs out?. Like removing the Zeam Home UI program to the ADW Launcher?. I know i have to change that out in the Runme.bat file to get that to work though.

But is this possible to do Bin4ry?.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HackitZ:
Great job dev team,

I have a comment / question for the dev team or anyone else whom knows the answer.

I have noticed that the files being used are for the x10i not the x10a. and it seems like the files are from an htc device.

I have read this thread from beginning to end and would like some clarification if you would be so kind.

This process is not a full flash it is just changing the base band and does not do anything to the boot loader?

so this would allow us to tweak system settings from the root level?

Will the files being used be updated to x10 files, as it seems like the files are now from an htc device?

Thanks

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
What makes no sense to you?

These instructions are for installing the "su" binary and the Superuser whitelist applications. IMHO, these are essential to manage root access on your phone so that you can control which app is allowed superuser privileges.

Problem finding DeviceID in registry - make sure you go at least once thru flash mode

Anyone who is wondering why his registry doesn't have the DeviceID USB entry - you must go at least once thru "FLASH Mode" (hold back button, plug USB ON while phone off). This will install the USB device we need. I didn't see that mentioned obviously in first few posts and decided to add it here. Bin4ry, if you want, you can add this to the FAQ in your first post.

1. uninstall and reinstall pc companion and seus

2. run repair with pc companion. Make sure you complete it and it says update successful. Do not touch any files in the blob_fs folders.

3. plug in your phone and mount it.

4. search regedit for string. Now it should pop up.
