AT&T has blocked all non-market app downloads but you can definitely bypass this setting. I was successfully able to install non-market app by the ADB method as Naplesbill suggested. You will have to download the android sdk and familiarize yourself with ADB. This can take some time, but well worth it!

See this handy post on how to do so:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

An issue that came up for me is that the device id doesn't get recognized by your computer. I got it to work by installing the SE update service on my computer and followed the steps to update the software on the phone. This step will install a SE Flash Driver on your computer. I restarted my computer and somehow it worked.

I then followed the adb install method and got non-market apps installed without rooting it. If you want to root, you can use the adb method to install the one click root and then you are done. However, rooting you AT&T device does not automatically allow you to install non-market apps. It will still be blocked!!! You have to adjust systems.db settings in order it to change it. That's the step I'm at right now. Going to do it after work tonight.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
The issue with the Android Central Sideloader and even with ADB is IME, antivirus or firewall software. I tried the sideloader and it could never find the phone. I tried using the SDK directly with the install option, and my AV popped up asking if ADB could access the internet. Inside the sideloader the msg must have been masked or timed out. So, disable your AV/AS software or give the ADB inside the folder full permissions.

I a newbie and I am trying to change my bootanimation.

I have

HTC Desire

OS: Android 2.2 (froyo) I updated it though OTA

HBoot: 0.93.0001

Radio: 5.09.05.30_2

Actually my device was unlocked but branded with UK O2 and loaded with Android 2.1 (Eclair). I used GOLDCARD procedure to make the device unbranded and then updated the OS. I also rooted the device using unrevoked 3.21 and it was successful.

Now the last thing I want to do is to change the bootanimation and I cant make it work. I am using rootexplorer to copy the bootanimation.zip file to

/system/customize/resources

/data/local

But no luck .. the bootanimation screen remains the same “HTC quietly brilliant”

I am also trying to copy bootanimation.zip file in

/system/media

But after copying the file use to disappear. I cant see you though root explorer. I never checked by using "ls" command. Can you please help me guys

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
you cant write to /system/ when the device is booted even if your rooted, because we dont have an unlocked spl yet the nand protection prevents it, you need to put your device into recovery, and use adb to push the bootanimation.zip to /system/customise/resource/ and if that dosent work try pushing it to /system/media/

Then I pressed "power + volume down" and I entered HBOOT menu

my device is connected to the PC though a USB

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

i chose RECOVERY and then i had an other menu

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] booyaga:
just talked to SE Norway, about update release, q3 here too but no official date.

BUT we came into talking about custom roms and stuff (dunno why)

and he said the main reason for making it as tricky and not sharing anything, is because they want their own dev's working on it...

wtf? is this guy a loose canon from se support, or have they actually tried blocking "you" out..?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jayman1986:
Sorry what are you on about?

Are you saying that SE have blocked access to the Roms, so that SE devs(the guys who work on SE roms) can try and crack their own Roms?

Your post doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm confused...... .com....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
I think what he meant is that they've locked down the bootloader so that only the SE devs can work on it. They're not interested in letting the community do any work on it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
That's what I understood from the OP as well.

I'd be fine with that stance if SE actually supported their product with new development, but they don't seem to have much interest in doing so, if the 6-month wait for part of 2.1 and no official plan for 2.2 is any indication.

If they're not willing to support their products, then they should allow the community to do it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jayman1986:
Aah sorry, my bad. They're w*****s.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] crazyhazy:
SE are thinking in business terms. X10 is not bad in terms of hardware. So to sell X11 or whatever they come up with, they'll probably advertise as Froyo device to grab people.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
That's fine in the short-term, but their stunting their long-term growth (which is what they should be looking at... especially after stating they want to be the #1 Android manufacturer) by alienating their current users. If they don't support their products, people won't come back to when replacement time comes. This goes on for long enough, and word spreads so new customers shy away from their products due to poor reputation.

Just ask GM how well this philosophy works on the long-term.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] booyaga:
yes, thats what i meant, and don't that kind of go against the open source concept`?

sorry i made it unclear first post, didnt thing i did...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
I agree, it goes against everything Android should be about. Android is supposed to be open and an interesting place for us hackers. That was partof the idea when it was started; to be more open than iOS and Symbian.

But SE also has the right to keep it locked down the way they do. They're not interested in either the open source movement or even Google. They're interested in making money and for that they picked Android since it's the best OS they can use. And if you're only after selling phones then having the community mess around with the phone isn't an advantage.

The fact that we can't do what we please with the phone sucks but SE has all the right in the world to do so. It's something I knew when I bought it, if I wanted a phone I could hack the software in I would've gotten myself an HTC phone or the Nexus One.

I'm completely satisfied with my phone, it works great for that. Anything else like an open bootloader or custom ROMs are just bonuses.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
That's true, even though I don't like to admit it... :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] booyaga:
yes was aware of every aspect of the phone, and while i trust SE to have good devs on it, and im sure it will be just fine, it already is really.

but to actually pay dev's for "locking"(yeah i know, for all you spell checkers its not locked in that sense) an os that promotes it self by beeing free and open, i mean seriously, thats just.. yeah..

but love the phone...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Contrarian:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
Perhaps asking SE devs for help could work. Not for inside info or anything but perhaps we could work out a deal. The market for custom ROM's is minimal it wouldn't impact their profit margins in any way, it's not like everyone would use the feature.

Here's my reasoning:

It's safe to assume that the devs over there have a similar mindset to our own, they're hackers. Perhaps we could work out a deal where we could get fastboot and the ability to flash unsigned stuff in exchange for something like voiding the warranty or perhaps even signing an NDA or the like.

It's optimistic but at this point it feels like we have nothing to lose. Appealing to their developers might just work, they're human after all.

Any thoughts?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nankov:
I say we find one that is wiling to give us the test 2.1 rom or the info on how to crack the bootloader and pay him, create a thread like the bounty for the devs but for a dev of SE or a person with the 2.1 rom. I am sure a lot of people will pay $10-$20 and well get a few thousand quite fast. If i was an SE dev and someone offered me $2000-$3000 for the info on cracking the bootloader i would surely find a way to leak it anonymously or somthing like that.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Devtone:
The only reason that Sony never ever will open up the bootloader is that they want to sell the new FroYo phone and after that Gingerbread.

Look at the specs of the X10. 1Ghz 1GB flash. I think it can outlast a couple of new phones IF we can keep it up to date.

Sooner or later the phone will be hacked. Looking at the PS3 makes me think Sony is very very good with protection. Nothing is impossible. I hoped I had some linux knowledge to crack this baby myself.

I have all faith in the XDA Android devs :D If the X10 is uncrackable, I'm never buying Sony again.

Searching for a old SE dev is a beautiful idea :D How many devs work at SE? One of these guys MUST be on XDA :p

Btw, setting up a cashbounty would track allot of media attention. Good way to get to the devs :p

[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
It's cool. Basically you want a kernel that works on Sense ROMs. There are a lot of them out there. Installing a new kernel won't affect your launcher or widgets as long as it is compatible with Sense.

Honestly the easiest thing to do is to install a different ROM that comes with an improved kernel. There are lots of Sense ROMs out there such as Baked Snack. They come with their own kernel and are tested and optimized to work together.

edit: and yes, netarchy's kernel posted above is a fine example. Flashing that kernel from recovery will improve your performance but once again, if you are running a rooted ROM you may already have a good custom kernel installed.
