If you are going to buy the housing form dealextreme, do keep in mind that it only come with housing, and it does not come with the Touch screen glass.

The hardest part is to separate your original touch screen glass, becareful when you do that, don't break it.

Also, the color of the touch screen glass will be different if you are thinking of changing the color of the housing.

To OP, what color is your usb port cap? willing to part it out? :D
[XPERIA X10 General] dirtysnypa:
Like all SE phones dismantling the phone is easy, but removing the glass digitizer off the fascia can be tricky, and housings advertised at dealextreme are the same as on ebay, and i doubt the replacement housings have any ready adhesive to stick your digitizer back on...

Lol you're a bit late mate.
[XPERIA X10 General] Rockjock007:
I would be curious to see if it is actual SE OEM housing or a copy. My suggestion is to contact SE and get a price on the actual housing. The copies can sometimes leave a bit to be desired. OR find someone who bought one and see how the colors match up. That can be a good way to find out if they are OEM or no. Back cover has production numbers on it.

Good luck

can anyone confirm this, or is it really just me?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] phikr:
Yeah, same for me. The interesting thing is that I was able to delete some system apks step by step, so somehow I had rw at /system but that was only for like 2 mins, then it stopped working. After some reboots, trying to unroot and root again it worked again for some time...too crazy...in the end I messed it up and had to flash the stock sbf, because the market didnt work anymore. Dunno what happened there, but was my first try at rooting anyway :D

Furthermore shell and /system were denied, remounting to rw didn't work either!

[Vibrant General] DynamicXL:
Hey guys, I'm new to the Android community and I'm completely in love with it now that I had the phone for several weeks. Like every other phone I get, I'm always eager to customize it in all the ways possible.

So here is my question, rooting seems simple enough with the great guides you guys have here. However, I've heard that Android 2.2 is right around the corner with new great features. I read that if you upgrade your firmware, it will un-root your phone back to stock.

I'm already hungry to try the new features that a rooted phone can do but I'm thinking that this update is worth waiting for since this phone is new anyways.

Any opinions?
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
Steps for success:

1. Root phone.

2. Wait for 2.2.

3. Download a 2.2 rom with root.
[Vibrant General] DynamicXL:
Were would I find the rooted roms?
[Vibrant General] Mark271:

[Vibrant General] blackerwater:
Its a file you can find . Its not a rom. Your phone will still get the ota even after you root it. Can't say the same for custom roms ;)

[Vibrant General] s15274n:

[Vibrant General] kkevin94:

[Vibrant General] DynamicXL:
Yeah, I think I'm going to root my phone soon. Thanks for the help!
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
Not sure how rooting your phone is going to solve your battery issues? All that rooting does is give you root (superuser) permissions on your phone. You can do this to remove the bloatware that came preinstalled on the phone, run various apps that require root. But I can't think of any way that it's going to allow you to save battery life that you couldn't already do non-rooted.

My only reason to root was for wifi-tethering... :)
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I know the newer version of Facebook is a battery eater. I switched back to the older style and my phone is happy again.

Root is great.

1. Remove bloat apps

2. Remove the annoying T-mobile jingle

3. Root Explorer is fun to play with

I think thats all I've really done so far. Well I should that I've wanted to really do so far.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Rooting isn't working for me otherwise I would have to agree :-(
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ could you give a little more detail, so we can help?

Do you have the update file named update.zip.zip by accident?
[Vibrant General] turbo chicken:
I pretty much had the same question. But after a little reading just now I actually understand what rooting is. Helps that I'm familiar with linux! Attempting to root in 5 4 3...
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
So if you don't have a data plan you can't get the ota update? You must root? Mine is on AT&T with no data plan right now.
[Vibrant General] DynamicXL:
Isn't there much more to rooting then apps and root control? I've seen all the custome ROMs people get to customize the phone and theme just about everything.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
No I just Have a file named update.zip. I have tried two different methods twice now and once I'm in recovery and go to flash the zip it says it isn't there. I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong.
[Vibrant General] DynamicXL:
So I rooted my phone earlier today. It was unbelievably easy to get the whole set up going.

Haven't had much time to fool around with it yet except for several apps that require root access, mainly to flash and back up my data in case of an oops.
[Vibrant General] sil3ncer7:
I am in TOTAL agreement with this. Coming from my G1 with Cyan, the g1 rooted was MUCH faster and well cool. Now I have the Vibrant rooted and as soon as my sister gets her replacement N1 I am rooting that with Cyans Latest. Rooting always wins (if your into REAL customizing and optimizing)
[Vibrant General] secure_6:
That means you saved the update file in the wrong location. Remember you have an internal and external memory card..do not save the file on the memory card containing your Avatar movie.

Hope this helps :)
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I'm not actually sure how to save it to the internal memory.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ save it to /sdcard (internal) and not sdcard/sd (your sd card).
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
So, did you get it done?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Save it anywhere on your phone.. if ur using a browser to download it'll most likely be in its defaulted area /sdcard/downloads or something like that. Use a file manager (e.g. ASTRO) and move it to /sdcard/
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ yeah... and if you are talking about pics/video you can save that to either internal/external in the settings.... downloads from the browser default to the download folder... otherwise use a file manager or connect to your pc.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Thanks for all the help everyone. i may have finally figured this out. Going to put the update.zip back on my phone and see if i can get it to work now. Thanks again.
[Vibrant General] jkang29:
After rooting and deleting all the bloatware, if I get the OTA upadate, will it reinstall all the unwanted apps as well?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
I don't think anyone can give you one way or the other on that. It depends on what the OTA includes. If it includes updates for bloatware apps, then I think there's a good chance they would get re-installed. However including the bloatware apps in an OTA makes the update un-necessarily large, so I personally think they would stay away from that.

It's all up to Samsung.

Hello all,

I love my seidio innocase ii and holster combo. I am looking for a car mount that will work with the case and allow charging too. I went by VZW today and looked at their Incredible Case. As stated in the other thread you can't use any case with it. I purchased a OEM air vent car mount, but the charging socket is blocked unless you slide your phone up in the grips (the two grips have holes cut out in the middle). I don't really like this one because the release button is at the top behind the phone. Not this one, but very smiler http://tiny.cc/eahgk

I would like to find one that can turn 90 degrees with a ratcheting action that the car charger can work with.

I did see a nice video review and it seems like it would work perfectly because you can leave the phone in its case.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] patches152:
my friend got a car dock at the vzw store, the clip part the phone goes into is actually a removable belt clip. you can remove it from the car dock completely and put it all on your belt, pocket, whatever you wanna clip it to. however, there's no case involved in that package. i'm sure seidio has a case/clip you could mod to work with a similar product as i described first.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mike.d:
My plan is to get the car mount from htcpedia and the innocase holster for the Surface. Then either switch out the belt clips (hopefully), or just use my dremel on the innocase holster belt-clip to cut out the same as the mount's beltclip.

A little more expensive, but seems to be the best "factory-type" option I can come with.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gwenny:
I have one of these too, it's awesome! If you want a mount that doesn't stick on the windshield AND works with a case...this is the way to go. :)

works well with my innocase active. but sometimes when you secure the dinc in place the mounts grips will press the volume button. its not too hard to position it in the middle of the rocker so it wont adjust it, and it not a problem once you have it set in there.

would buy again
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StirCwazy:
I've tried several different mounts and haven't been happy with any, until now. I picked up a couple of the SoundGate M2 universal docks from wiredforless.com and could not be happier. The install was simple, once mounted it looks great and folds down into almost nothing. I don't know if it's still available, but I used discount code WOOT and got two of the mounts and shipping for $14.95.

AND, it works great with the Seidio case I have.

Great product, couldn't be happier.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] k.electron:
i position the left clasps to the bottom and the right ones to the center.. that ensures the volume button doesnt get pressed.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DincEngineer:
You can switch out the belt clip on the car kit holster with the Seido clip, I've done it. Just tap out the pins in both clips, place the spring back in between the clip and the holster and tap one of the pins back in. Works like a charm. Now I'm trying to get all the audio and charging done with a modified 12 pin micro usb from the TV OUT cable.

Nice reviews! I really like these mounts and think Im going to try them. I'm also concerned bout mounting infront of the vent during winter.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] lennie paz:
Why would you be concerned about mounting in front of the vent in the winter? Air conditioning comes out of those vents and the heater blows down by your feet. I am a mechanic and have never seen a car blow heat out of the upper vents unless the owner purposely chooses to do so. The default heater setting directs the hot air to the lower vents down by your feet.
