Downloaded Root Explorer and deleted Homescreen.apk (which was the Orange version) plus some other ancillary APKs referenced in this forum :)

Also managed to considerably speed up my 'droid's boot by deleting /system/bin/bootanimation and /system/bin/bootslideshow :D You can also comment out the lines referencing them in init.rc, but that didn't seem to make any difference for me.

Also stole the Droid TTFs and set all my Windows fonts to them :D

After root my X10 mini, and after did the step by Kabaldan, it removes the applications (from menu, and from settings -> applications) but not the space on internal memory!

Can you help me with that?

Thank's!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jean001luc:
I did the same but didnt notice much of a difference - maybe just my perception. In any case how do I put the two files back? I tried to copy them from my PC (took copies on the PC before removing) but get an error to say I cant write to /system/bin

if rooting the mini pro, are there any problems installing android 2.1 when it comes?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jahnrs:
almost finished..

I have just rooted my xperia x10mini pro

But when I tried to do the final step by typing "su" in adb shell it says:

su: must be suid to work properly

The superuser.apk doesn't start..

And when I tries to start it from the menu, it only says superuser permissions..

what to do anyone?

Thanks for a great forum, it gave me a lot of answers for my mini pro..:D

hi there...if i root my x10, is it will affect all data (contacts, app etc), what i mean is missing all of them?

No. It will not affect your data. You can sync them with google just for backup.

Yes u can. U can either delete superuser.apk OR download Universal Android Root and click on unroot. Hope this helps!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] typhoonscotland:
I don't know if this is an extremely noob question, but I'll ask it anyway. I followed the instructions by the book, and yet when it comes to the bit about ".busybox cp busybox /system/bin/" I get a reply saying ".busybox: not found".

I have tried this various times now.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Managed to get past that bit now, but now when I try to use busybox it comes back the ".busybox: not found" error?

Edit: I figured if I kept repeating the rooting process with the word busybox, then didn't exit su, rootshell and adb shell I'd be able to use busybox, so tried it and it worked.

I'll never be trying all that again. =]
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nyssaki:
Great tutorial but...

This worked perfectly, and it was very easy steps. Those who feel this guide has big words or are not able to understand what it asks you to do, might want to reconsider tampering with your phone. :p

A couple of hints might help to improve the tutorial:

I realize this is not a guide about installing SDK (so I did google that part), but for a complete noob, it would be better if you specified that the only thing you actually needed from SDK was the USB Drive. My first try, I ended up letting it install all the other crap, which wasn't really necessary.

When extracting the exploid_x10mini folder, you should have mentioned that the files needed to be in the android-sdk-windows/tools folder for things to work.

But, thanks to this tutorial, I do have root access to my x10 mini pro now :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
I just ordered 3 of these phones. For my mother, wife and sister...hehe

I have never rooted anything, just used WM from v5-v6.5, and HSPLed and Flashed many of them.

I have no experience in Linux, so I wanted to know: Is this is much harder than playing with windows phones?

I have read that for some devices there is a 1 click rooting from micro sd, can we expect a thing like that for this phone too?

Do I have to use a linux OS in order to use this, or will a regular Vista/Xp work?

Sorry for these noobish questions.

Thanks in advance.

No offence meant to the the developers of "Universal AndRoot" which im pretty sure is you attachment?? but from personal experience the "exploid" method works much better, and to get a better busybox installation, download Titanium Backup*Root. Sorry just thought i'd inform people on my experience!

Titanium Backup

My first Android phone (mini pro U20i) and my first rooting experience...

Followed the Exploid-method and everything went splendidly, all the way to downloading Titanium Backup and then trying to start it. I get "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges... etc." message.

I've updated Busybox via TB's "Problems ?"-button and Superuser Permissions shows Titanium Backup as

/system/bin/sh as root (uid: 0).

I've also booted the phone.

Titanium Backup version 3.4.6, phone build number 1.2.A.1.174.

What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

To add unix commands without the need for always typing busybox first

1. cd /system/bin

Hi all,

My girlfriend has this phone on Vodafone UK, and i have been trying to convince her to root her phone as i said it is better and she will get newer unreleased roms just like i did on my htc hero which is on 2.2 at the mo (thanx froyd)

So first of all, will this method work for her phone? X10 mini vodafone UK?

Any chance of a video similar to the one's on the unlockr (for noobs and so i can show my gf how easy it is also)

Great work to the person who finally rooter this little gem of a phone and good luck with the roms.

Cheers. :)

Hey, I have some doubts about rooting:

Well, I have flashed my phone(E10a) with SEUS into a E10i firmware, and now I want to get back with the E10a firmware, but I can't. I tried SEUS and PC Companion, but both says that I have the last update, and don't give me a repair option.

If I root my phone, will I be able to flash my E10a firmware again?

Will I be able to receive the incoming updates?

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dlads:
It's a great step in the right direction but at the moment i think i'll leave it as without a rom it's kinda pointless for her.

MY Error

C:\exploid_x10mini>adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Please help me :mad:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jimmydanny:
if you have downloaded the SDK, you go unzip the folder, go into X:\android-sdk-windows\tools. That is, you use CMD, so that would be:

Get it to the right partition, ie. X:

then:

cd X:\sdk(or whatever the folder is called, the one you unzipped)\android-sdk-windows\tools

Then you can run adb push, adb devices (to check that the device is recogniced by adb), or adb shell, whatever you need for the tutorial to work our for ya :)

Btw, anyone know if this works with the 2.1? I get this:

I did turn off and then on the WiFi straight after running ./exploid
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jean001luc:
You will need to enter the command from the locaiton where the ADB is located on your PC - e.g. if ADB is in C:\a\b\c then in command prompt you will need to go to C drive and then change directlry to c:\a\b\c and then run the ADB command. Different ways of doing this but the easiest is:

1) go to command prompt

2) type 'C:' and press Enter

3) type 'cd \a\b\c' and press enter

you should now see the prompt change to 'C:\a\b\c>'

Now you can enter the adb command

Hi guys I'm farley new to this HTC stuff so you would have to talk to me like a third grader as I don't know jack sh*t. But I'm a Mma guy an I found these awesome apps on b.j.j on the Apple app store. Is there any way I can get access to them for my HTC evo4g?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
No. Your Evo isn't an apple.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Pretty much, NO. Actually, completely? NO. Sorry, but those apps are not compatible. Not even close. Best bet is to try to persuade developers to make an Android version, but smaller developers may not want to, especially if they don't know Java. Android is really nice to code for (other than Java), so everyone should pick it up, but iPhone apps have to be ported by their developers to Android. There's pretty much no other way around it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcor4e:
Thanks guys. With this union job I my aswell buy a ipod touch then
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSack:
What Superlinkx said is the best way to do it.

If you really like an app and you can find their website on the Internet, there are usually ways to contact the developers. If you write to them and tell them you are a big fan of their app, but you have an Android phone, it might help them see that there is a market on Android and they might make the app sooner.

Because this year has seen so much growth on Android, you can expect many developers to take advantage of both markets, unless they don't like money :)

Hope this helps!

I've tried a search but can't find the exact answer im looking for.....

I've got a HTC Desire bought it off o2 on contract and want to know if its contract-locked (meaning i wont get froyo this weekend), when I turn it on it shows an o2 logo but i've just put an orange sim card in it and it worked fine.

The Software Information is.....

Firmware Version - 2.1-update1

Baseband Version - 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Kernal Version - 2.6.29-c8d11160 htc-kernal@and18-2 # 1

[HD2 General] Nomarky:
Hi

Had my HD2 for about 6 months and found it to be a great phone, thanks mainly to this great community and the work done here. There are a couple of things I need that I havent found, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

First i need something to record work mileage, as i need to keep records for my tax return. I have seen a few things on the web, but nothing thats really 'touch' friendly. It would also be great if it could log the mileage using GPS, rather than entering the start and end mileage every time. Or perhaps there is some other type of GPS software that could do something similar?

Second I could do with something that can control what sound is passed to the hands free ear piece when it is plugged in, and what is sent to the phones speaker. I use the phone as a satnav in the car, and would like the sound from that, as well as notification sounds, output throught the phone speaker as normal, but still have the hands free work during a call. I have no idea if this is possible or not, but it would be useful!

Any ideas much appreciated!
[HD2 General] bates_1974:
Here's a piece of software I found with a quick search on google, paid app, has an odometer built in but not too sure on the logging aspect of your request

http://www.tchartdev.com/gps_ss.htm
[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
What about http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/GPS/GPS-LOG-16982.shtml?
[HD2 General] mmarkk:
For recording mileage I use Navigon, it has that function built-in besides the navigation.

You have to enter the start mileage and tap private or business before every trip, but that's the only way to get a correct record.

It logs the driven miles okay.

I'm very happy with it :)
[HD2 General] Nomarky:
None of those are quite what I'm looking for, I don't really want to run satnav all the time if I can avoid it. I did find something called Nettmiles (http://www.nettmiles.co.uk/) but the downloads don't work. Has anyone tried this app?

Might give GPS Speed Sentry ago though, looks like it could be quite useful and I don't really like RadarFree
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Hey guys. I currently have the UnrEVOked 3 "root" installed on my phone. I have to say that I've been pretty happy with it even though it doesn't have full root I can still use almost all the important ROOT apps.

Anyway, considering that the official 2.2 is supposed to come out within the next few days I was wondering if I could install it with the UnrEVOked on the phone or do I have to go back to the stock version? I have no idea how to go back to the stock version. If I need to go back to the stock version can someone please tell me how I can do that?

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongoface:
Hmmm Froyo is not that cool. Id wait awhile to make sure you can still obtain root. Because you may not ever ever ever get root again with the new ota update. But if u must, install htc sync on ur computer then look on this site for 1.47 shipped supersonic rom. Download it, double click that chit, and u have a stock, battery draining, controlled by da man, 1/4 pound piece of chit. Have fun. We'll miss ya. Was fun having you haha. !!

Just out of curiosity: What do you guys think would happen if I try to update the official FROYO update while I still have the unrEVOked on my phone?

I'm in the same boat. My phone is rebooting everytime I get a call while I'm already talking to someone. I'm running Unrevoked @ 1.32.651.6. Can I at least easily go to the last OTA update somehow to see if that fixes my issues>? I still want Titanium to work tho. What's my best bet right now? I need my phone for business this week and I cant afford the phone to keep rebooting on me.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Have fun loosing root and having to wait.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LudoGris:
Because as good as some people seem to think this ROM is, Cyanogen are not gods and the Rom does not a Jesus phone make. It is decent, but definitely not for everyone. And I want a fully functional 2.2 Rom made specifically for the Evo with all the HTC Sense goodness - at least for a little bit.

Can always do what I did last time...RUU back to 1.47 to root and then use the root method that will inevitably be found for 2.2. That way I can use 2.2 tonight (hopefully) and then root later after the devs here have figured it out.

CM6 is not the bend over backwards must have Rom that everyone made it out to be. There were plenty of things it was missing. Especially for people that need the phone for work with a decent exchange supporting app and calendar. The AOSP one does not fit the bill very well, and there is NO REASON I should have to buy all the support from the market with Touchdown Exchange for 2.0+, especially when it comes built in. Oh, and why is sense so bad when we have so many posts about where to find widgets like the clock, messaging, calendar, agenda, etc. Just use the built in one and be good to go! ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Like you said, there are a lot of things currently missing from his ROM. To be perfectly honest I'm pretty fond of the stock ROM with SENSE UI. It works pretty well in my opinion. Like I said before I look forward to trying out the official 2.2 release.
