rooted my X10, now what? - XPERIA X10 Android Development

Hi all
i just rooted my X10a using that 1click root thing, it said it was rooted ect
now what can i do with a "rooted" phone? i hear lots about it, and the fact i can un-root it made me wanna try
what can i do now?
ps, i dont understand all this RB12490 ( or what ever it is ) stuff, somenoe?
thanks!!

after rooting you can use utilities that require root, for example:
adfree
busybox
quicksshd
setcpu
titanium backup
search forums for further info.

oh so it gives me things that you can do without rooting it?
ie: overclocking phones cpu?
thanks

lol opps, i un-installed moxier mail, forgot to back it up and now i cant get it again?
i think i "rooted'" my phones warranty and all

for overclocking custom kernel is needed AFAIK.
SetCPU can enable dynamic underclock to reduce battery usage.

i want my moxier mail back now
i asssume theres no way to get it back now i un-installed it?

if SE releases new firmware you will have this app again for sure in the update package

well im from australia and they announced the 2.1 release date for the end of this month
for some reason my phone feels faster when its rooted, is it? or is it just me?

try to read more before asking any questions.
this way you will be a free man, independent from anybodys will to answer questions.
also assume that every your question was answered on the internet at least 5 times
good luck!

OK ... here's what you do now.
Come to these forums as many times a day as your life allows and post the following type of message:
Where's 2.1?
What are the Devs doing?
Is 2.1 coming soon?
Is 2.1 coming this week?
The X10 is crap without 2.1.
Are the Devs still around??????
I hate my X10!!!!
1.6 sucks.
So what's happening with 2.1?
I hate my X10.
I sold my X10.
After you post a message based on that last subject line you won't wonder what to do you your rooted X10 since you'll no longer have one
Anyhow ... this seems to be what most X10 owners do with a rooted X10.

No OTA update once custom ROMS are available but that doesn't matter once rooted because you're gonna want to install custom ROMS created by the DEV anyway.
Well yeah, the reason why i thought i would ever regret it is because im new to this kind of stuff, so once i do it. im not going to know what to do with it. Im a newb i guess lol. Once i do it i cant go back correct?
I've noticed a problem getting protected apps from the android store. On my Rogers X10a since rooting, most things are there but a few things aren't. Hoping to solve it soon, but some apps may not be available.

You can definitely go back to stock anytime you want. For example, I wanted to see the new ota update for rogers so I rebranded my phone back to its original firmware, and updated, now I don't have root but in about 30 minutes I'll have it again. This process can be done unlimited times.
Just a suggestion, before you try rooting it spend an evening or two doing some research and getting familiarized with the tools.
From what you are saying I would suggest waiting until there is something that you really want working on your phone that is limited by the stock rom.
Hey mate How can we install programes directely to SD Card when its rooted or is it possible to move installed applications to SD Card?

Do you mind directing me to the Link for the original firmware for Rogers. I'm having trouble finding it in these forums. I can only seem to find Decrypted x10a ROMS and I have no idea what those are. I only want it for warranty purposes.

Use the r1f014 in the decrypted roms. That one is stock rogers branded or you can repair your phone with pc companion and it will save a backup to your hard drive. Then if you need to go back to stock you repair with pcc. I didnt check but im willing to bet the new rogers fw will be there too.

/QUOTE]
Was thinking about doing this but I think the benefit of Root just outweighs being on Stock especially because of the unnecessary cr-APPS that SE installed. For me, I don't use Moxier, Timescape, etc... and they take up so much resources or space that I could use for some of more useful apps. (SetCPU, Titanium Backup, etc).

What kind of tools are you refering to? Just in a general idea so i dont spend a week doing research instead of a day or two lol.
And just a general question, if debranding a phone is a good thing to do... is there a reason why Ericsson didnt do it in the first place? Excuse my incompetence with rooting.
oh, someone answered the question already, sorry =p

I think the only con is the root access increase the security treat, just like the jailbreak iPhone.
Other than this, root is great, and useful

[Q] Best method for rooting AT&T X10?

I just got my AT&T Xperia X10 and want to root it, mainly to get rid of the AT&T apps they shove on by default and I can't rid of. What is the best method?
I can't give you the links I looked at as I'm new on this forum and they don't allow new users to post outside links. I looked at a link titled:
"Exploid One Click .apk Root (Latest v.1.06 12 Aug. 2010)" (this forum)
...and another one titled:
"Exploid Root Method for Xperia X10 [Tutorial]" (xperiax10.net)
My phone has build number R2CA016 on it, I assume there's no loss of functionality by going to a slightly older build? FYI, my model is X10A.
Thanks.
In my experience, keeping the AT&T build is the better option. My battery life is much better and the phone performs better with no stability issues.
I tried the long method first. I had some issues with the battery barely lasting a day and the device rebooting randomly. It also seemed to get much hotter when using it.
I also tried a few of the decrypted X10a ROMS like Rogers and Latin America Generic. They also exhibited lower battery life and the Latin version had some random reboots.
I went back to the stock AT&T ROM, rooted, removed all the AT&T crapware, and re-enabled the non-market apps option. The phone has been amazingly stable and the battery will last me two days.
Additionally, I found Handcent and ADW both reduced my battery life significantly so I am not using either of those on my phone now. I also remove ALL the AT&T apps including the Exchange app.
Slow down, I'm still getting to grips with this phone!
Right now the battery lasts just over one day, so I'm trying to figure out what apps are running in the background so I can axe anything un-necessary. When you say the "long method", do you mean the procedure in this forum called "Exploid One Click", or the one in the Xperax10.net forum?
Can I save the stock ROM that's installed, so I can go back to it if I want? I just want to remove the garbage-ware to be honest, I don't use Facebook, Youtube, Timescape or all the other apps AT&T puts on. Can you give me a procedure for what you did? Sticking to the AT&T ROM sounds like a good idea, I just want to remove the AT&T apps. FYI, I need an app that let's me connect to MS Exchange.

Also on this forum. Many people now use the one click method, but any of the guides found in this section of the forum will do, it just depends which way you feel most comfortable with.

I'm alright using any of the methods, especially with command prompts, I just wasn't sure if my phone being AT&T would cause a problem. The goal is to wipe the AT&T apps off and just put on what I need.
So far as ROMs, is there any in particular I should be looking at? Surely my ROM is newer than some referred to in the guides? I see "R2BA026" mentioned a lot, where-as I have R2CA016.
I also want a Wi-Fi app that can connect to hidden networks. The default app on my phone works, but when you move away from the network and come back, it no longer sees it. So I'll be looking for a new app for Wi-Fi connections.
Thanks.
I used the longer of two, and I have experienced much better battery life with juice defender on my rooted x10.. All depends what u do and what u have running I guess...but, no probs since rooting a month ago and still going strong. Also, I do not see batt drain from adw and I have been using it for over a month.
Fyi, originally a rogers locked x10a, now unlocked, rooted and running 026 firmware. Hope that helps.. Good luck.

Just use the one click method then, install Titanium Backup and remove whatever apps you want.

Yes, use the one-click to root. Then you need to install a root file explorer to remove the apk files in the \data\app-private directory. Otherwise, when you uninstall with Titanium Backup it just reinstalls them automatically. If you don't understand what I am saying you can send me a private message and I'll help you through it.
There is one particular apk that you do not want to remove if you need Exchange support. That apk is com.nitrodesk.sony.nitroid.apk
To re-enable non-market apps, look for the non-market app thread under the Samsung Captivate on this forum. The only difference is that on our phone, the settings.db file is in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. You will need to use that in the place of the directory for the Captivate settings.db

I'm not sure what to say here. I have tested battery life with and without Handcent SMS and it is definitely causing battery drain during partial wake of the Battery History information. The ADW drain may have just been circumstantial but the Handcent issue is easily replicated.
Also, the AT&T ROM is R2CA016 which would seem to be new than the R2B ROMs on other carriers. I think this may be why I get the best battery life using this ROM. I do have it decrypted for easy restore from debranding as well.

Hey Bill, I was simply stating that I have not seen any battery drain with ADW installed. With Juice defender, I see over 2.20x+ battery life, which in the real world equates to about 2 days, some times a few hours over and that is a huge improvement from when I initially unlocked the phone.
As far as Handcent is concerned, I do use it, even with the figures above. I have never used anything but handcent, so I'm not sure whether I have seen a decrease, but my x10 has been fine with all the before mentioned applied. As I said earlier, I guess it all depends on your usage and apps and running processes as a whole.. I don't know. haha. Didn't want it to seem as if I were throwing you under the bus or anything, just stating my actual usage experience.
My 2 cents..
Not to hijack the thread but where should I find the original ATT ROM that you guys are talking about?
Alright, I'll try the one-click method then. Do you recommend a root file explorer, naplesbill?

AT&T Wont allow Side Loading without root access...I Tried that one earlier this morning, and it didnt work either.
The Root tutorial that has been mentioned seems to be the best method, Although I've gotten up to the Part where it says that under the model number on the phone it should Show X10a (which mine does) Yet, apparently Im missing something because I have no Root access...SO, Hopefully, If this Rapidshare download finishes this year, I'll get back to trying it again...Could just be that I missed something in the steps...I dunno LOL!

I may root my phone just to get froyo, but is it safe?

Ok, I was thinking about maybe using that one click root app I found on the market but i need to know how safe is it? and is there a fully awesomely working version of Froyo out there or even gingerbread I can use and if so how do I install it?
And when the official froyo update comes out will my phone still be able to revive the over the air update?
Using the OCLF/Root was completely safe and easy, for me at least.
No issues at all doing it, it went very smooth with no issues at all.
Yes -- you can still receive OTA updates once you've rooted.
Ian
def no gingerbread out there for you to run
uhmmm i think if you arent even sure how to root, maybe you shouldnt get yourself into a beta rom.

Safe as in what? Secure wise or bricking your device? The Vibrant is easy to root but secure wise you need to be careful since your device will be "open" to any program getting root access.
I see people use the click app to root their phones. Check it out on YouTube that's where I found the info. Personally I am not going to root my cuz I don't want to deal with the headaches. Yes I have root one android phone before & was successful. I enjoy putting different roms but when I flash CM6 one his first updates on that then later on couldn't change the rom. The reason cuz I had a low memory I was told on the phone internally. So I am taking no chances with phone.

Too much work. Easier to add ps.
I be posting this from my wicked awesome vibrant!
Before Rooting....
1) learn how to use the keyboard
2) find out what Froyo and the consequences of installing a beta are
3) No, if you install Froyo probably you won't be able to get the OTA update when available and, you may not be able to roll down if you want to.
I would stay out of it if i was you
not worthy to just root to flash the leaked Froyo... You only get the 'skin' of Froyo.. there is no JIT and GPS is not working
I would not root, because judging by you, you dont know much about android.
Few devices have froyo,
No devices have gingerbread.
If you think gingerbread, or even froyo is out then chances are you dont know how to use root features.
ps. I am not flaming, k?

I understand what your saying, and believe me I know a lot about android and actually a little bit about rooting but I am super paranoid about bricking my phone for two reasons:
I love my phone.
I had to pay full price for it.
What I don't understand that much is about different roms and whatnot. As for the Gingerbread thing I was kidding, but I was serious about the Froyo thing...but after reading this thread i have decided that if I do ever root with the one click root app it will only me to install simple things like lag fix, adfree, etc. Thank you for your help.
To do it again, I would not root mine. It has been less stable since I rooted it. Crashes to a black screen that says "user fault not kernel panic" and "upload mode". This is using a simple one-click root. So I advise against it.
What you'd find, should a problem occur, is that there is no going back. Folks recommend install this patch and that patch, and deeper down the rabbit hole (further away from stock) you go.

haha yea i figured reading that commit, lol guessing the froyo is a no-go as of right now
Link file says Kernel
lets hope they can get a rom made using this soon
looks like there is a kernel made
Woohoo! C'mon Froyo!
Trying to build a kernel with the new defconfig now. Will report back momentarily.
I don't know how many times this has to be brought up guys, but we wont have froyo till we have kernel source for 2.6.32. The kernel source we have working right now is 2.6.29
Just calm down and be patient, or get to work and start developing. There is only so much devs can do, and if you want a feature or something, try doing it and learn. We don't need new forums posted everyday about how you want froyo, or tv out, or ios.

TBH, I'm equally sick reading these posts. Guess what, you can say that till you're blue in the face and people will still act in ways you don't want, it's called being being excited/impatient. You kind sir/madam could save yourself some bandwidth (and apparently annoyance/frustration) by just not licking on these links.
*edit* Also, it's great to see another New Mexican on the boards *edit*
Yeah...no licking links!!!

New to this myself. Fascinate is my first smartphone. So I gather we are likely waiting for the 2.2 release from Samsung for the Fascinate? Then someone will likely take the src and remove the bloatware etc?
Is the Cyanomodgen version also waiting on this?
Main thing I want is tether and all the bloatware removed from my phone. I have not rooted and am waiting for a good reason to do so. Don't want to root then have to undo it down road or something to get some other update and risk something going wrong. Thinking of waiting for the GPS fixes to get out etc first. Really want the Cyanomod ROM for this phone.

The root process is easy and shouldn't affect any updates. Removing certain apps could possibly affect any OTA updates - this has happened on some Motorola phones.
Rooting will allow Wireless Tether and the ability to remove bloatware. Make it easy on yourself and just MOVE apps you don't want from /system/app to your SD card so you can easily put them back when it's time to receive OTA updates.

Actually, we have no idea it it removes Bing or not.
Most likely it won't, but stranger things have happened, like Bing as the primary search for an Android phone.

Question regarding X10 ROMs

I'll be getting a Rogers X10 sometime this week and I'm just educating myself on the root method etc before I actually get the phone. Anyway, I've pretty much got that figured out and the one click exploid method looks simple compared to the root method I had to use for my 911 patched HTC Dream, and since my computer is already setup with ADB and stuff it'll be fine.
Anyway, my question is regarding ROMs for this phone. I've only ever flashed Cyanogen onto any device and those are pretty straight forward as far as what version of android it is. I don't see a whole lot going on with this phone as far as good custom firmwares go and it's kind of discouraging me from getting this device. The phone itself ships with 1.6 on it, and I've been using 2.2 on my Dream since the CM update came out... even though this phone totally dominates the dream, I don't fancy the idea of going back to Donut.
I'm having a really hard time finding which one of the "RXXA0XX" firmwares is the newest, and which versions they run.
Any help is mundo appreciate.

R2BA026 is the newest unless you use AT&T, and all run X10 FW as of now runs on 1.6, and as the bootloader hasn't been cracked yet 1.6 is all you can run.

Mmm that's what I figured. Do we know of anyone actively working that?
I REALLY don't like the way that Sony GUI looks.
