Installation Guides

What do you need...

- X10

- Root access (can be obtained many ways - z4root is probably the easiest - download z4root from market)

- ROM file (see below)

- USB cable to connect phone to pc

- zdzihu's Recovery menu needs to be installed also, and for this you need to be on 2.1 - does not work with 1.6 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9561575&postcount=1 or installation guide below.

- patience!

AOSP 2.1 - Black Freedom

- Download ROM file from here => http://hotfile.com/dl/89981020/d198ed1/BlackFreedom_signed_007a.rar.html

- connect phone to pc and mount the SD card.

- Within the .RAR file is a .ZIP file - extract this to your phones SD card and rename it to Update.zip

- reboot phone and enter recovery menu (repeatedly pressing BACK as soon as the Sony Ericsson logo appears)

- a good idea is to take a backup of your phone before going any further - Backup and Restore, and then choose Backup. This will create a folder on your SD Card called XRecovery/Backups and will create a sub-folder for each backup. I have tested renaming these sub-folders to something usefull with no issues!

- Once backup is complete, zdzihu recommends running a "full wipe" - make sure you choose the correct option here, it is on the main screen and says "Factory Reset (full wipe)" - THIS IS AN OPTIONAL STEP

- once wipe is complete, click "Install update.zip from SD Card" - this is why we renamed the .zip file earlier.

- phone will install rom and bring you back to menu when completed. simply reboot and it will launch the AOSP 2.1 ROM :D

Let me know if these steps are not clear and i will edit them. i did them in 5 minutes before leaving to go away for the weekend :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrtim123:
Installation Guide for zdzihu's xrecovery menu

There are 3 main ways to install this menu. The main method is via the .APK file that zoz33 created.

Other methods are a manual file copy using root explorer or using the old gscript file (outdated method).

I guess you could also ADB but i wont go into that method.

What you need...

- 2.1 ROM on your phone, this will not work with 1.6 Android.

- The files for the install are here - xRecovery 0.2-release

- Phone must have ROOT access and have busybox installed from the market (this is crucial)

Method 1 - APK File

1. Download the APK file and copy it to your phone (attached to this post)

2. Install the APK file and run it.

3. Click on the "Install xRecovery" button. In most cases, this will simply install the menu and you are done!

If you get errors, you may need to try the manual method below.

Method 2 - Manual installation

1. Download the APK file again and rename it to a .zip file (replace .apk with .zip)

2. open the new .zip file and extract the /res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)

3. Using root explorer (and make sure R/W mode is enabled) copy the 3 files listed about directly into /system/bin

4. reboot phone and tap back button until recovery menu appears.

As usual, PM me or post a reply if the instructions are not clear.

Cheers.

Hi! i´m really impressed so far, but i love my camera too much.. is there any way we could use the original camera app for 2.1? if there is, that might solve the errors + give us better settings...

Hey there seems to be a problem. This one is in a email. Someone emailed me their phone number and said text them... all i can do is click the number and it goes to the phone option. I mean I could call and end the call then send a text from the phone menu but meh the phone should have a option of if you want to text the selected number(like the blackberry been doing the past 5 years....)

So if anyone know of a way to text a number that is in an EMAIL??

[Epic 4G General] maxwellsk:
Is there a way to hide the text message history when looking at the call log? I remember on my Nexus One, there was a filtering option in the dialer. Am I just overlooking something? I am using Quadrant Rom 2.0, however, I have tried multiple roms and had the same issue.

[Android Apps and Games] allthrottle:
After extracting, put the ".madden" folder (that's in the "sdcard" folder of the zip) in the root of the internal sdcard(/sdcard/.madden). Open the "system" folder and drop the contents if those subfolders in their respective folders (in "/system/app" and "/system/lib"). I didn't do anything with the meta.info folder.

It's a demo, and working great on my 2.2 Vibrant. Not a bad game once you get used to it.

Has anyone had a look at one of the Scosche car docks? I don't see how it holds the device in place, if it works then it looks like a nice compact little unit.

http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/370/productID/2014

Super-E-Trader does a generic car dock but it's a huge ungainly thing. Something more suited for the Samsung that isn't gonna be half the size of my little Mirage hatchback would be nice.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] d00mz:
I just have a hard time believing that blue material is "sticky" enough to prohibit my tab from flying off there should I need to accelerate suddenly.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Croak:
It's REALLY tacky. You can lift a bowling ball with that mount. Really.

Downside, that stuff is a grit magnet as well.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] sjjones:
clingo makes products with same sticky stuff, i have couple of their products , it does get dirty and losses its "stickyness" but all you do is wash it with tap water and its back to the original sticky strength.

http://www.clingo.com/

** tested the grip strength on the back of a sprint tab seems to work very well.

The mount shown has two adhesive pads so it should be fine
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] knightnz:
Would it destroy my nice leather Zenus if I tried mounting it?

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Shane_pcs:
I think the scoche would work great. Overkill really. I bought this tiny mount and it works great for the galaxy tab. My got it with an employee discount is the only reason I chanced it. That stick'em on it is surprisingly strong.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dugg67:
I have the Scoche mount and it works great. The suction cup is made from the same sticky stuff and really holds itself and my Tab in place.

There is a warning included that it may discolor certain materials, so it is recommended to use it strictly on glass or with the included dash mount piece. I have mine mounted to the dash using the included piece (which uses 3m tape) and it's solid as a rock. Was kinda worried about it discoloring my tab, and the Zaggskin that I eventually added, but no problem with either one so far. Holds the tab really well.

I used one of those ratchet clamp style window mounts for an old PDA that I had and hated how it gripped the PDA. It would also lose suction on the glass and fall off, especially during hot days during the summer, and really cold days in the winter. The Scoche mount stays put and holds the tab much more securely than that old clamp mount did with the PDA.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] slickb:
Is this the same as the one your using? Is there enough of the sticky material to hold it tight?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Shane_pcs:
Thats almost exactly like mine. And it sticks perfectly. I was a skeptic, but no longer. honestly it could hold the tab upside down if needed.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] slickb:
dugg67, where'd you buy your scosche mount? can't seem to find it anywhere except the scosche site.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dugg67:
Bought mine at Walmart.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] sumtingwong:
OMG! The sticky stuff melted in my hot car and dripped down on my stereo buttons clogging them! I live in SoCal so it's not that hot! If you live in the US South West, don't buy this item. If you live in Alaska or Siberia, you'll have no problem with the sticky material melting and dripping.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dannyHD2:
i just bought one very similar to this at walmart for $20. i have the gs3 and i took of the side clips of the mount and i have the body glove tatic case which is a candy/gel caze and it sticks right to it. its ridiculous how secure it is and i highly recommend it. it is a very well made and designed piece. looks super clean also. the model of the one i have is:

IPH3GRR

though i cant find it online anywhere, only the IPH3GR which is different? the one i have is just like the one in the original post although the flex shaft is longer, about twice that judging from the pics. my kit from walmart consisted of this: http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/2097 with the exception that it also included the window mount.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Hey all. So i've had my A70 for about a week now, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get this tethered to my phone. I have a Moto Cliq rooted with j_rodd's custom firmware that supports netfilter. I have Wireless Tether app installed and it works fine (I have connected it to my PC and tethered over WiFi).

But for some reason my A70 pairs with the Cliq, but no connection is established. It doesn't see it in the list of paired and tethering capable devices, and there is no way to make the A70 see my Cliq.

I wonder if ther is some way to manually enter the APN info. So far, it only allows me to enter that info if I select USB tethering, but not Bluetooth.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I bought this device because I knew I would be able to tether it. Without that functionality, it really isn't worthwhile for me to keep.

Thx in advance.

There is a simple workaround on rooted phones for the Exchange security policy without having to replace the original mail app. I also posted this in the Android 2.2 Email.apk - Bypassing Exchange security policy - APK Attached thread but am making a new thread in case people have missed this very simple workaround. I am using it on an account on a Exchange 2007 server and I believe Exchange 2003 works as well. I heard from one person who did not have good results with Exchange 2010. All exchange functions work fine without any issues. I am using the stock email app so this only applies to the stock email app that forces a password security policy.

I am using an app called Autostarts found in the market (less than a dollar - I am not the developer) that allows disabling the exchange policy on restart. The setting can be found under Device Admin Enabled. Make sure you are in USB Debugging Mode before disabling the policy.

If you already have an Exchange account set up yet:

Install Autostarts from the Android Market and run. Find and click the

Device Admin Enabled

entry and press

Mail (Exchange security policies)

and select Disable (acknowledge the warning about disabling a system component). Close Autostarts and reboot the phone. After restart, change your screen lock under security to whatever you want (None, Pattern, or PIN).

If you don't have an Exchange account set up yet:

Install Autostarts from the Android Market then set up your Exchange account and let Exchange force the password policy. After the exchange setup is completed, run Autostarts and find and click the

Device Admin Enabled

entry and press

Mail (Exchange security policies)

and select Disable (acknowledge the warning about disabling a system component). Close Autostarts and reboot the phone. After restart, change your screen lock under security to whatever you want (None, Pattern, or PIN).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lostshootingstar:
Hmm, this doesn't seem to wok. After disabling in autostarts, I reboot, and the mail app tells me (paraphrased) "You must have security policies enabled blah blah blah".
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] purian23:
This worked perfect for me on a 2.2 Sense rom on Evo. Good find & thanks !

EDIT: So after trying this on a newer build like the Desire Z port to Evo.. it will let you bypass it, but only until you go to sync your mail. After that fact it will re-enforce your mail security. But, it is still another workaround for 2.2 builds.!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] uwsphd:
Great method! Very simple!

:D
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Just rooted my Droid X (Thanks XDA!) and am using "Wireless Tether" but only allows for unsecure (no password) connections it seems. Wondering what better options are out there for the fastest connection? I'm a MS consultant and need to VPN for work on the road, connections are weak-sauce to say the least. Wondering what your experiences have been USB vs WIFI for best speeds?
[Droid X General] blubyu87gt:
Go with the TBH 3G hotspot "fix" easy to do and works great with vpn. Speed is the same between Wireless Tether and the 3G app. Never used any usb tether on it so no input.
[Droid X General] r0cketman8906:
To turn on the password protection for Wireless Tether. open up the app>settings>Enable Wifi-Encryption.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Thanks, will research TBH.. I know how to enable the encryption but it doesn't connect with it. Thanks.
[Droid X General] crazy talk:
speaking of wireless tether..

mine doesnt seem to actually close the connection. data stops and the phone says everything is turned off, but other devices can still see the Ad-Hoc connection (devices that were turned on after i turned it off)

so obviously my battery lifes tanks after this until i restart.

any thoughts?
[Droid X General] sslayer22:
Dnak for wireless tether try changing the network name(ssn) to something different. If you've already done that then try putting it back to default (AndroidTether).

Also look at the "access control" settings. There you can allow/deny connections. That can be enabled and used as a security measure. Mine sometimes blocks my ip for some reason, just have to "allow" it again.

Or try going to settings > apps > manage apps > wireless tether, and force stop(if needed), clear cache and CLEAR DATA. Clear data is the important part. Hope that helps
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Will give that a whirl, ty man.

I just installed the program and then realized you need to have your phone rooted. How would I do that and what are the effects of rooting the phone? This is the easiest option I have seen so far depending on what has to be done to the phone to make it work.

It would also be nice to shut down all those horrible programs that keep restarting that I never use.
