Hey there,

first time here.

I´ve got my x10 running on 026.

I installed universal androot, superuser and titanium and it got me root acces.

I got rid off moxier and change bootscreen as well. All works great.

Tnx for showing this easy way of rooting.

Greetzzzzzzzzzzz
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] roaringhere:
Anybody noticed this? When I installed the APK, my battery was showing 92%, after about two minutes after install, my battery went down to 34%. Did it do some major operation to drain that much so fast? I am wondering what it it doing to my phone...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] yn0724:
Process of Exploid continues after taking over root.

Please reboot.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] roaringhere:
Ok! Thanks! I've done that, but still it was draining the battery so fast, so I decided to unroot it, and uninstall it...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Thanx everyone, i have rooted today on my x10i on 026, wad abit worried about using the other methods but this was easy. I have deleted all the rubbish i do not use so hopefully now it may be faster;)

Can somebody tell me will my future downloads now be stored on the memory card please?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xd4d3v:
nope, they wont.

only with apps2sd (doesnt work on x10 yet) or froyo
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DJBoxer:
I´ve got my x10i running on 026.

I installed universal androot, superuser and titanium and it got me root acces. just need to clean all the unwanted stuff off thanks peeps for this hopefull thread
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alankstiyo:
yay my xperia x10a is rooted

now how can I use another bootloader? my carrier's provider one sux
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PStephan88:
sry man, but the x10's bootloader isn't cracked yet. root only means full system access. the bootloader is another thing. this is also the main reason there is no custom rom aviable at the moment...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alankstiyo:
thanks a lot ^^

well I was able to uninstall some crappy things but I'm unable to take out of my phone some carrier apps -.- they seem to come from hell
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] seimur:
Brilliant!!! I confirm it works just fine!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NightSidew1nd3r:
Traditional root is far better, as it puts nice clean generic roms on your phone. Therefore no carrier crapware
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tigger69:
X10Root.apk worked fine on my X10i/R2BA026.

Thanks:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cjology:
Sorry There, But I must ask .

What's the benefits for rooting our androids ?

I have an issue in getting the playnow app on my Sony Ericsson X10i

Would rooting help solve the problem ???

My X10i was bought in Hong Kong =]
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tigger69:
i think you can go on the sony ericsson website and reinstall/download the .apk for playnow.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] realszopen:
Worked like a charm.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rmourar:
Barnacle legacy worked for me...

the "regular" barnacle crashed for me too...

Xperia X10a Rooted firmware 026
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rmourar:
To get rid of your carrier apps try debranding.... I did it and not only cleared the phone of the carrier's bloatware but allowed me to update to firmware 026...

to know how to do it google debranding xperia x10, I used the xperia.net tutorial...

hope it helps...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
Did you write athwlan0 to Interfaces>LAN in Barnacles settings ?

This is the name of the device linux detects in X10 for wlan.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Jasonong75:
how do i update to 024/026 after i hav rooted??

im nw on 020

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lansingone:
was trying the sticky thread for the one click root, well after many clicks and no luck, i saw this. Why is this not a sticky? this is by far the best root method
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] goothu99:
will this affect 2.1 update?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Casmo:
Works very nice.

Didn't expect it to work, but it did :]

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
You need to de-brand your phone and will need to root it again after and remove anything you don't want again.

There is bound to be loads of threads about de-branding on here.

Sent from my rooted .26 x10i using the XDA app
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
You need to run SEUS and if it doesn't give you the upgrade option run the repair one and that should do it.

You may also need to de-brand your phone, there is loads of info about this around.

So you know the latest version is r2ba026. Hope this helps.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zilexa:
I used the app in the first post and rooted my (unbranded, simlockfree) X10 Mini Pro. It was succesful but when I start Superuser man., I see "no apps in list" so I cannot delete those worthless apps like Peggle?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tomanlam:
The superuser app functions by elevating the privilege of certain application (after clicking allow in the pop up window in supported application) so probably you'll need to use it alongside other applications to remove stock applications. I remember there's one called systemapp remover or sth like that, you can try that application or the debranding tutorial on xperia.net to c if it helps;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dulexetina:
thanx for the app-this is amazing way to root the phone... chears
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zilexa:
Ok unfortunately SystemApp remover is not free. I couldn't find a free alternative. Also tried ES file explorer.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gtrab:
easy fast simple root for xperia x10

X10Root.apk rooted my X10a in less than 5 seconds !!

I'd say this is THE EASYEST WAY TO ROOT THE XPERIA X10

thanks for sharing !!

:cool:

@MODS:

Please consider removing all those complicated step-by-step stickyed rooting threads, and simply post THIS LITTLE APK
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Atl_Tiger:
but i read in the description, it saids X10i is not supported, but does supports X10a and X10mini and other phones.....can you confirm this and specify which build it will work with (020, 023, 024 etc)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Titanium back up is what you need. Backs up and restores apps and system apps and allows you to uninstall apps and system apps.

Its a fantastic app for free although I recomend donating $3 to get the lisence and you can do so much more. It really is a very clever app
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] stan.s:
Hmmm. I have X10a; have rooted and SU on the phone. Titanium will NOT uninstall ATT Navigator, it says it does, but it comes back.

Additionally, Titanium gives a warning when it's started that it can not RESTORE any applications at all. The suggestion to go to the Applications setting menu does not reveal any selection of 'Other Places' at all, not even grayed out.

Suggestions for the clueless?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vengeance1990:
The reason you cant uninstall ATT navigator is because its in the firmware, debranding will get rid of it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] stan.s:
Duh. But then I have to go through a rebrand to return the phone. I'm not sure that I want to be stuck on 2.1 (whenever it shows up) while Google docs requires 2.2. As I said elsewhere, with a newer Gmail and Docs, I could leave home without a laptop for a day or two.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
Did you try to delete it from Privat app list and its still there?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 17mayis:
I hope some one make this work with a new andorid 2.1
[Vibrant General] Demonloki:
So I was recently experimenting with the I9000xxJP3 and JP2 roms, and things took a turn for the worse. JP3 installed but would only boot into recovery mode and JP2 wouldn't even flash at all. I finally flashed the True 2.1 from the master list and after an hour with titanium it appears I have everything back. My concern is that when I boot up now it shows the GT I9000 then quickly changes to Vibrant as normal. Is this a bad sign? If no, is there a way to remove just that portion as you can remove the boot down sequence?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayrayw:
Okay here is my problem, the screen on my nexus one cracked (on the inside under the glass) twice in a span of 6 months and HTC is trying to make me pay to fix it. There is *absolutely nothing* that I can think of that can even possibly cause the screen to break. It cracked twice at approx. the same place near the TOP of the screen. I've been using cellphones for the past 13yrs, had 2 iPhones and none of them broke like this. Very bitter taste in my mouth after using the Android and HTC platform for the first time. As it stands right now, I would rather have an iPhone4 with a defective antenna than to have choosen Google and HTC.

So here is my question: How many people are having the same problem? If you see my same question in other forums, please don't answer twice. I am a real user, a real person. After people start responding, I'm going to forward my threads to the reporter at cnet that had the same problem to hopefully have Google recognize this issue.

*If you DO NOT have this problem, but have an opinion to post, I deeply appreciate your opinion, but please don't do it here. This is strictly to see how often this is happening to N1 users.*
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jz9833:
i cracked my screen but i dropped it on concrete a couple times so i can not blame google/htc for that.

however since I am rooted and my warranty is already void I plan to change the screen out myself when the new digitizer comes in.

Here is a link to buy the digitizer:

http://www.repairsuniverse.com/google-nexus-one-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement.html

And here is a link of a tutorial on how to fix it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRXSMQ-GJY

Dont be scared that its 45 parts, they are very short each.

BTW if you know your thread is a question and even label it as such, dont you think this belongs in the Q&A thread?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymru:
Is the answer 1 in 1000?

Im not having a problem. Maybe its cos im not so heavy handed with my belongings?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoReverse:
Doesn't the nexus one have gorilla glass? Should be very hard to crack
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
No, it's a polycarb, but not Gorilla. Also the OP described the display cracking, not the digitizer (glass on the outside).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
I have owned my N1 for 6 months now. My screen has never cracked and it remains in my pocket most of the day. Including at work where I go back and forth from coolers to hot grills constantly.

I understand you don't want people to reply if their screen didn't crack, but you can't get a fair judgement of how often this happens if only people with cracked screens can reply.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayrayw:
Heres my update: After numerous emails and phones calls back and forth, HTC finally agreed to fix my phone free of charge.

My advice for ppl having the same problem: Be honest, tell them what happened. Stay firm but respectful. Make sure they understand your dismay, but do not make it personal - the person on the other line is just following company guidelines and doing their jobs.

I dont know what did it, cause first I was offered 20% off then 50% off the repair costs (which I still think is bullsh!t, if the customer is at fault, then he/she should pay full to get repairs, if the device is bad, then HTC should fix it for free to boot, not offering "discounts"). But the last message I sent to HTC before getting the free repair offer was I quoted the CNET reporter that had hers replaced for free as well.

My experience with their customer service? Seeing as how I finally got justice in the end, I'm a lot happier than I could be. But the process is far, farrr from easy and what it should be.

And if anyone is wondering, I'm selling my N1 as soon as I get it back. Cause from my experience, the hardware design is clearly faulty. If it can break once and twice, there is no doubt in my mind that it will break a third time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojanz:
Weird that the OP is the only one reporting a cracked screen twice, when it's even rare to hear a screen cracked once. Unless you drop the N1 numerous times that is. Now i'm curious how the OP handles his N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Oh you know he keeps it in his skin tight pants pocket with his keys.

Just joking, I honestly don't know. I've scratched my screen (small scratches only noticeable when screen is black) but I've drooped it a few times and keep it my NWU (think cammo) pants pocket and no breakage yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
I don't think the AMOLED will just crack from usage...

I cracked mine, but I dropped it on concrete face down. It was a sad day.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayrayw:
I'm not C.Ronaldo, and I dont wear tight jeans. I work in a bank and wear trousers with loose pockets. I keep my keys and change in my attache. If you dont think this is happening, do a google search for "nexus one cracked screens". Maybe this is restricted to the first few batches made, cause I ordered mine the day it was available. I honestly have no idea.

But if you are a N1 owner, and you're thinking that this "doesn't happen" - good luck with that, and I hope you will find my post useful when the time comes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oilersfan:
First post, hello everyone.

I've dropped my N1 from about 10 ft in the air, whilst ghost riding my SUV. The top right corner is where contact was made with the asphalt. It came to rest face up. The only damage was a bit of a nick out of the metal where first contact was made. Thank god.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
People, there is a piece of outer glass, called the digitizer. It's what you touch, it's the outermost later. It is both protection for the actual screen and the digitizer.

There is an inner layer which is the actual AMOLED screen.

Be clear what what's breaking. Is it broken on the OUTSIDE? Digitizer. Is it NOT broken on the outside but the screen "looks broken", is "bleeding" etc? Screen.

Too much nonsense going back and forth.. Particularly "I dropped it, glass broke, HTC sux" stuff.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
It was a joke. I know it sucks for you but a vast majority of N1 owners don't have cracked screen which leads a reasonable person to ask first what the few with broken screens are doing different, if there is an environmental factor (heat change, humidity, etc.) Or in other words what is the common factor.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
LoL! Maybe you're butt-uuuggggllllyyyy! LoL! J/K :p Glad you got a free replacement!:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
1. You're an idiot.

2. I dropped mine from chest height onto tarmac in a carpark, the top left corner took the brunt of it (was in the sleeve at the time, so bad luck) and it came away with a pretty small nick in the metal housing.

It now lives in a Tough Case.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbocom:
Lets say I have SD Card (A) and SD Card (B). SD Card (A) has the stock Rom on it, but I want to try out some other ones without running my settings. Is there anyway I can use SD Card (B) to "test" other roms and then if I don't like it I can put SD Card (A) back in and everything fine?

Sorry, I searched didn't find a thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
No way. The ROM lives in the phone's RAM, not on the sdcard. Sorry.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbocom:
Great, thanks for your help. I was unsure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSunny:
You can always set up a rom use it the way you want then run a nandroid backup go into the sd card and go into nandroid and rename your nandroid as to what rom it was.. =] And then boom you have backups of every rom you tried and what ever settings it had =] Haha
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortzz:
Yeah, you can always swap between NANDroid backups, but it's not exactly convenient. It cannot boot up from the SD card.

Yep, Launch-X. It's another great widget, BTW. I don't have a lot of paid widgets, but that's one I gladly ponied up for.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWhiteBandito:
Hey there,

I know I'm a noob on this website, but I'm pretty regular on AndroidForums.com and I lurk on here all the time. Just wondering if there was any way that someone could add the ability to have a different keyboard in portrait than in landscape. I use Swype for portrait, but in landscape it just sucks! It would be awesome if we had the ability to have Swype in portrait and something like the stock keyboard in landscape.

Thanks to all the devs on this website, you guys are awesome! And sorry if this is in the wrong section.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] patchnauty:
i would also like to know this
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] gmonox:
I'd like the same thing, I asked a little over a month ago, but got no response.

Also, your thread will probably be moved to general. Heads up.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Tyler 3:
Would like this feature in roms to.

Just curious tho. How do I download swype? Do i have to go to their website and fill out all the beta applications? I thought it was closed.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hazard666:
Another newbie requesting this. I definitely agree with the fact that swype sucks in landscape mode.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jackattack:
With Tasker you can set it up so when you turn the phone on its side it brings up the input method dialog and you can pick from there. When you turn the phone back to normal it asks again. Not the perfect solution but it is quicker than doing it the long way.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWhiteBandito:
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try this out, but would definitely be awesome for it to be native!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hazard666:
Honestly, all that's eliminating is a long click/hold. Not very efficient compared to what the OP suggested. Hopefully someone will be able to get the original idea working.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] k1sr:
Hi all,

Not sure if this happened just after the update to the 24 firmware, as I only just noticed it... but have you noticed that images do not zoom properly in mediascape...?? - it's like a crappy 'digital' zoom on a low resolution image (probably one reason why photos taken by the camera always look so crap - because Mediascape does not display them in their full beauty)

Let me give you an example:

The wallpapers here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6994126&postcount=1 look great as a wallpapers... nice HD image, stretched all the way to the edges of my screen... However, if I view the same image in Mediascape it shows up with an actual size of about 1x1 inch, and if I zoom in, instead of getting a nice HD image, I get exactly what you'd expect if I zoomed in on a thumbnail - a horribly compressed looking jpeg.

Is this a new issue? was Mediascape always awful like this? is there a fix...?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] k1sr:
Bump.... anyone?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rvictorg:
Yes I noticed the same thing on the 20 software as well. Pictures look great when set as background, but viewed in Mediascape they look all blurry, very annoying!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] k1sr:
Is there any good image viewing SW out there... usually, if I take a photo, I'll zoom in close, just to make sure it's not too blurry, and nice and crisp - currently I can't do that.

nothing worse than taking a good photo, and finding it just looks awful when blown up.

Astro has a 'better' image viewer, and while you can't zoom in, at least it's not showing a horribly compressed image.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Vin87:
SE probably did this so you can fling between pictures very quickly (this was first introduced on 020). However in order to make it so 'quick' they had to compress the pictures a lot.. Bunch of amateurs really..

I suggest you download JustPictures from the market. It is as fast as Mediascape, you can do the 'one-finger-zoom' and the images remain sharp.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] k1sr:
Thanks for that - Just Pictures works a treat.

Cheers

When the warranty is void..

will htc a/s fix any phones if I pay money?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark Crouch:
"When the warranty is void".....like, you've done something to your phone that you shouldn't have??? Or do you mean when the warranty has expired....like, when your phone is e.g. over 12 months old??

You can log a fault with the HTC service centre online and they'll ask what the problem with the phone is and give you an idea of the repair cost; you can then choose whether to proceed with the repair or not. I'm pretty sure that if they think you've done something to void the warranty, that they can either refuse to fix it (in which case, you've gotta pay to get it back!) or they'll whack an extra charge on top of the repair cost to bring the phone back to spec.

Just my $0.02 based on previous contact/experience with HTC repair centre in the UK......YMMV ;)

Cheers,

Mark.
