i was installing a few softwares form the market and i think it installed them on to the phone.
how to install the applications on to the memory card?
how can move the applications to the memory card?
Thanks in advance!
You need to be running a ROM with apps2sd enabled.
Im not sure if using it on a stock ROM is possible or not.

Follow BTDAG's guide like i said earlier. The instructions are bang on so not much could go wrong. It is a little risky,... but its a risk most people on this site are willing to take.
*JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE PATIENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN UPDATING RADIO*
EDIT.......... LOTS of ROMS available in the development section.
couldn't find a proper answer for this so started a thread.
hope i'm not scolded.
i came across some pictures of custom roms for xperia x10i (using this phone now not the rom) but totally clueless how to do it. can someone post a step by step? my phone is currently not modified in any way at all.
first let me say these guys are gonna chew u out for posting this in the wrong thread lol
next. u need to give them some info about your phone before they( or we) can help you.
like firmware perhaps ?
in any means ur best bet at first is to look into the flashtool program to
root, jit, and if needed. dualtouch your phone.
from there u can also install xrecovery and then build understanding of the roms.
its really quite simple. read through a couple of the rom threads for the instructions to flash them. or even better. go on youtube once you find a rom u may want.
and a visual explanation should help more understanding and show you how easy it actually is.
good luck!
First, you would need to root your X10i device (if you are on the latest stock firmware, use the flashtool to root)
then install busybox FROM market
then install xRecovery (a detailed tutorial is included in this forum, also there's a youtube video to show you how to do it)
after you've done the preparation steps above, then download the rom you want to use, save it on your sd card
boot into xRecovery and choose "Install custom zip"
choose your rom and wait
Remark: some roms require full wipe
you need to first do some reading to build at least a little understanding of what and how flashing a rom is going to do.
then from there once u have at least the basics, the people here will be able to help you.
its in the best interest of your phone just to make sure u dont do something wrong.
but as i mentioned in the post above. watching things done in video would probably help allot. people tend to be better visual learners

i rooted my phone once before but wasnt exactly sure what it did so i unrooted..
now its 2.1-update1 x10i baseband 2.0.46 kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #1 build 2.0.A.0.504... is there like a list of roms somewhere? any recommended?
Im using the blue sparks which i think is good, just read the titles on the forum posts and anyone that mentions a rom, have a look, they generally include screenshots and instructions on how to install

Please go HERE
To add/change almost everything you need more access than the usual and to do that you need root access.
What`s that?!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
After that you just had to explore xda. Think? You got it...
With the tool on first link you can do all the tweaks you need to improve your phone. You just have to be sure of:
1. What do i have?!
2. What do i want?
Don´t ever install ANYTHING without read, read, read, read, read, read and make sure that what you want to install is the correct baseband, firmware, blá, blá, blá for you.

corrected
so the gist is i need to root before i can flash then install xrecovery to install the rom?
can i use oneclickroot?
if you use flashtool you won`t need to root before flash. just do it

Hi ALL! I'm new here. But I've read through the forums a lot of times and it only got me confused.
I have a short list that I want to do to my SGA. I always get lost in the tutorials that i follow. So please, if anyone can help me. Thank you.
Here what i want to do to my phone:
1. Upgrade to Gingerbread. DONE
2. Root. DONE
3. Install CWM
4. Install RAM scripts
5. Deodex
Please tell us what are the tutorials that you didn't understood.
Cheers
Hi, Zecanilis, thanks for replying.
First off, how do I install CWM? Or is it already part of rooting it?

If you are planning to update from a stock rom to DXKPD you can use Kies. Odin is also a option.
I prefer you too root first before installing CWM? Much less work

Hi,
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have been looking through all the forums for days now and cant find a answer...
I'm trying to root my galaxy s2 'WKI4' I have downloaded the insecure and orginal kernels. But when I upzip them instead of a .tar file there is only a zimage. Can someone please tell me how to change the zimage into the .tar file or where I can get the two .tars
Thanks

It's CWM Recovery package.
The zimage is the kernel.
Make your file extensions visible, or view properties to confirm you're not mistaking the tar for a zip. tars will share the same icon as any other archive file, zip, rar, etc...
Wow i just assumed it was another .zip because the same pic... I feel really stupid now lol
Well thanks for the quick reply guys

I made the same mistake once. It felt like an Abbott and Costello routine until I figured it out. Glad to help out.

Windows stupidly hides extensions by default, its both an attack vector (.exe.jpg's or w.e) and makes hard to work out what a file is at times.

Try reading and following the directions in the threads you downloaded the kernels from.
cant ask question where i downloaded kernels from

I didn't say anything about asking questions where you downloaded the kernels.
I said to read the directions provided in the thread where you got the kernels from.
Don't mean to offend, but If you can't follow the threads, then your not ready to root your phone yet,"you will more likely brick it". READ and then READ again..
Dont run before you can walk.
Also, MAKE SURE you are trying to use kernels (and/or firmwares when you move onto firmwares) meant for your phone. If you got these kernels from a thread in the I9100 forums, make SURE you have an I9100 by looking on the label under your device's battery.
I have seen a ton of people flash kernels and firmwares/ROMs intended for a different device, and the results have varied from the device not functioning quite right, to an outright brick that had to get sent back to Samsung.
The easiest way to root your s2 is zegrush exploit, works for me no problem

and you dont have to use odin so flash counter doesnt increase

Im not an expert on phones but i know quite a bit about computers ,ive looked at the threads and followed the instructions and even whatched a video.ive un ziped many a file but when i un zip the kernel i get a zimage file. where i got the kernels from no body has this problem thanks am i doing somthing wrong with this zip file because i cant use it as a zip thank
I was confused too before rooting but you learn quick and understand after you do it. I dont know much myself but I dont think you need to download any kernels to root, at least I didnt. just use the link in my post above and it will be easy, yes it is scary the first time!!!

Pretty much every kernels here dont require you to unzip them, you flash them as they are. As everyone above says, read the instructions. I also know a lot of computers, but sadly pretty much no knowledge of that is useful for phones, unless you know programming.

What thread are you getting the file from, and reading? Cause it REALLY seems you are not following the instructions correctly. The zImage file IS the kernel, but it has to be in a .tar file to flash in Odin. So it sounds as if you've unzipped it twice instead of just once, maybe.

I was sent to this site from android pit,to get my kernels to root my samsung galaxy s2. i have followed android pit rooting video exactly its not hard but the kernels you get from this site are not the same as on the android pit video. And they tell you to get them from here. why

I just TOLD you what you were doing wrong. I'm starting to think you really have no business doing this yourself.
If you end up with a zImage file, you unzipped it one too many times. Put the file that CONTAINS the zImage file into Odin.
root access thanks
thank mate i was zipping it twice ive just got root access the last message i wrote was before you told me what i was doing wrong thanks
thanks again ive just unlock my phone to any network
