Might be a better idea to learn about something before you actually do it.

what folder should i transefer it to on the sd card?
come on man do some research.. do you want XperiaX10iUser to come to your house and do it for you ?
i wuldnt mind
i did as said but it says there isnt a programme to open the apk???
Also do i need to write down any serial numners or anything or literally just press root?

Download Astro from the Market, find the apk where ever you put it on your SD card (doesn't matter where), and try again. The only thing you need is the ability to tap a screen, it doesn't come any simpler, no writing anything down, no need to back up anything, install, run, root, done.
says its rooted, cheers mate. Now how do i add widgets ect?

I don't mean to be rude, and I'll answer your question, but you really need to search the forums before posting a question. Secondly, there is a specific forum to post questions to, so try to do that next time.
The face unlock feature is not active in ICS on the TFP right now. We know that a portion of it is installed into the system, but there are no controls available at this time.
face unlock is not that great.
Face unlock is not secure.

There was a poster here who found the apk in our system - data/data/ & need root - and tried to install it but it fails to take. So it has some other dependency that blocks it.

I think you misunderstood, but thanks.
I got my GS4 today. I love it but there is a TON of things pre installed that I don't want. I've never "rooted" a phone before. I've read over some ways and it looks confusing as HECK. So a few questions. 1: Is there a way to "root" and just take away all the apps that are unwanted, and leave the same basic OS and apps I still want? 2: Should I wait a few weeks until everything has been tested and such before attempting? 3: Should I try to "root" a phone I already have that is inactive? 4: If so, I have a Droid 3, and a Casio Commando that would make good test subjects.
Now remember, I'm a noob. But I love the idea of being in control of my own device. Thanks for the help in advance.

check that link for a root guide.
very simple and straight forward. all links provided for what you need to download and even links for dummys and noobs.
look around, ask around. but always search before you ask otherwise you might get flamed and chewed out.
PM me if you need any further assistance to rooting the S4. I just rooted mine with that guide, took less than 5 minutes. there are way more complicated ways to root, so this guide already dumbs it down A LOT.

It's all in the guide. All the info, step by step, is there. Just follow it. It tells you have to verify root.
After your first flash, you run SuperUser?
Once you do, you can download a root checker on Google Play or use adb shell (you prolly won't use adb shell cmd though).
Once you verified you are rooted, you flash the 2nd file.
But since you seem to have already completed the full process, just go to google play and download a root checker. Run it to verify you have root. Simple.

This app lets you freeze or delete unwanted apps. Just be careful not to delete something you need that makes the phone function properly.

I figured why not give calling em a shot. It was a thousand questions and then redirected to their security department then several more questions resulting in them saying "I'm sorry sir we do not even have a code to provide you and we do not allow or support device unlocking or rooting." I was like.. Byatch! What a mess! I should have researched this before buying... I looked it up, saw moto e was rootable and looked no further. Sucked in by the deal. Now I can't even return it. I've had it too long. I'm sure no one is even attempting it anymore. Think I might craigslist it for 40 and get me one to have a little fun with. Oh and not only that Tracfone has a site and under their name it says something like, when you have our phones you have the power. Ha! Straight talk just lost a long time customer. And this phone is just bloated out to the max with Google and Motorola CRAP! If someone out there in this mod world have this phone... Get it!!! Hit it hard! We can use this as a lab rat! I'm sure no one will buy it! Lol

So here's what I would believe, the CDMA version on straight talk is a cdma-v phone.. I assume that means its a Verizon phone, if I had a back up phone I'd be willing to try to root this one using the Verizon one click root app... Does anyone have any thoughts?
I would be willing to try it. Tried searching for it but couldnt find it. If you have link to the Verizon 1 click root app Ill try it asap. I just bought it and have a 30 day store warranty. I did try the LG Stump root 1.2 and did not work.

Is this the Version One Click root you were looking for? This is the updated version.
I found it via this article. Chrome detected the Verizon apk as a virus, but that's probably a false positive. The apk does come from XDA.
Blah blah blah, if you install that, I'm not responsible for nuclear war or bricked phones.
I'd try it tonight, but I need to be up for class/work tomorrow.
I don't have much to lose, although I do love this phone. Right now I use it as a server with VIM via Terminal IDE or as a web server with KSWEB. Although I recently converted an old 1.6GHz N270 Atom netbook to do the same thing, it's much louder and hotter, but way more powerful.
I'm just pissed what StraightTalk did to this phone. It's absolutely amazing, but those bastards had to ruin it.
