I was looking to install Adobe Flash Player on my X10 and noticed its filtered in the market so I am unable to download it. Is this because of a Hardware
restriction (which seems unlikely), a Sony restriction or is it my carrier (Rogers)?
If anyone can help me out that would be awesome. I probably won't even use flash that much, I just want to rub it in the face of iPhone users.

You have to be on 2.2 or higher to use flash. Im guessing your on stock 2.1 which is why you cant get it.

I have a problem with Adobe Flash 10.3 installation.
It downloads from market, installs, and then says: "Package file was not signed correctly".
Sorry if this is common problem, I didn't find the resolution.
Unfortunately, Dolphin Browser doesn't really help with flash...
Any advice, please?..
In short you need a rom that uses Android 2.2+ or flash won't work, I tried several stuff with 2.1 and coldn't make it work.
Use skyfire to watch flash videos
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Skyfire will help with flash videos but flash does so much more than play videos!!!
Unfortunately the only way to get flash to work on an x10i is to be running 2.2
The only reason I got into rooting and found this site was a desperate need to use flash on my phone and when SE released the official 2.1 update and I was horrified to see it did not support flash after I ad waited all that time,,, thats where xda, zdizhu, DooMLoRD, Wolfbreak and all the other devs came to my help so I could install 2.2 and finally use flash!!

Flash wont work on the x10 because of the lack of multitouch.

I read the article again and again but failed to see why Flash will not be supported just because the phone has no multi-touch.
Thats bull****^^ The X10 supports Flash but the X10 Android Version dont support it why would Flash dont work becouse no MT then you can say too DivX or MP4 dont work becouse no MT or something^^
Currently I have the snes emulator but it's pointless with single touch so maybe this is why Adobe Flash will not be supported
Taken form the link above
"Other interesting details include confirmation that the capacitive display is single touch only and that Adobe Flash will not be supported."
No Flash is 2.2 only thats becouse Flash is not supported on X10 it had nothing to do with the Single Touch Display. In this Post the Single Touch did not have something to do with the Flash, it says Flash is not supported, it didnt say becouse of that Flash is not supported. Flash dont need MT, Flash only need ARM 7 and 2.2 and the X10 has ARM 7 but not 2.2

Regardless of whether it can be spooned on to the x10 or not there is so much more to flash than video playback as i'm sure you know but I personally want the full expirence so just like mario kart, i'll wait till my next upgrade.
Apologes for my previous statement i'm sure all things are possible but maybe only through the efforts of the Dev community but the hardware is still lacking key smart phone features.

Hello, been having wars with my provider (signal) so now im back , there's a few questions i need answered.
1. my andriod is V2.1, Build :2.0.a.0.504, is this the best build for a generic x10i from SE?
2. Will this version support multi-touch, if it requires upgrading, will it remove my settings again?
3. Im looking at doing the beta Froyo upgrade, isnt it possible to run the SE "bloat" programs like Mediascape and timescape and creatouch on it?
4. Im trying to figure away to tunnle a connection so i dont need to use easyteether, i know Froyo has this ability with it, but how can i get 2.1 to get this? or do i still require an app on my driod to do that, as i find that the app bottlenecks it from time to time. (done tests where my Internet on pc slow, but the phone quicker)
5. i ran a rooting program, where u switched off an on ur phone, and it installed a super user program, isnt there another way to just make it super user with out having to have the super user application which i could of gotten from andriod market?
Please assist
p.s aren't you guys already working on throwing out 2.3 for the x10 already? or was it just a rummor?

Froyo has the ability built in, but SE's kernel does not support native teethering. You're stuck with 3d party teethering apps.

Rooting the phone can be done without installing SU and installin SU does not root your phone. SU is a program that tells you what other programs ask for "admin" on your phone and lets you decide if they should hav it.

Just got a Sony Ericsson X10 and it has Android 1.6. I want to upgrade to the latest version of android and want to enable features like multi touch.. How do i upgrade my phone? I dont know anything about android and most of the posts here have just confused me
Hi - and welcome..
Go to the Sony Ericsson website and download and install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to your PC..
Fire that up and follow the onscreen instructions (carefully)..
That will get you upto the latest version of the firmware for your phone..
It may NOT be the latest available firmware though depending on whether your phone is customised by a specific carrier/ network?
If it doesn't upgrade you then look settings and about phone then tell us the country and customisation info in there..
Good luck..
If you're feeling brave you can root it too.. and do a load of other stuff.. (took me a while to build up the courage to get into all that side of it.. but was worth it in the end, cos phone performance can be improved dramatically)!

Greets alamode, congrats on your new X10, and welcome to xda.
First off, it's great to hear that you have at least tried to find a place to start with your Android, and I know it can be rather daunting, as well as time consuming.
- If you're only interested in official Sony Ericsson (SE) Firmwares then you can just simply connect your phone to your computer after having installed PC companion on it
and follow the instructions. This should give you the latest official rendition of Android for the X10 which is 2.1 and includes dual touch.
- If however you wish Custom Firmwares which go well beyond anything that Sony could ever offer than I would recommend after having updated through PC Companion
(above) the next step is to 'Root' your X10 which allows you greater access and control over your device and the ability to 'Flash' (install) the many custom Themes, Apps, and ofcourse Firmwares(ROM)s

Well yeah i heard that rooting/flashing your phone opens up a whole new world for you so im definately interested in that. i've heard Sony ericsson wont upgrade X10 to latest versions of android? Can we still update them after rooting/flashing our device?
Anyways ill update my device first from Sony ericsson then.. After that i'll have to root my device? Since i dont know much about rooting/flashing can someone just guide me as to what that is and what it does? Whats the difference between rooting and flashing?
And thanks guys you lot are helpful !

Um No...
Trying to update but keep getting this : unable to install or start phone software update components
Try doing a repair first then try the upgrade..
For rooting.. go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248 download Superoneclick to your pc and run it from there..
Rooting will give you access to the system files so if you start rooting around in there deleting things then it can be dangerous - but you can always reflash/ repair using SEUS.
Rooting will also give you the opportunity to install custom ROMS which you'll find on the Dev sub-forum.
Would also recommend that you install JIT once rooted, as this gives a big performance boost. You'll find that on these x10 forums too.
Alright.. This is so frustrating. Been trying to root my phone all night but not really able to get anywhere.. Here's what i did..
First i finally upgraded to 2.1.. I used another PC and somehow it didnt give me the error i was getting earlier at the other PC. Not sure what was the problem there.
After upgrading to 2.1 i decided to root. First i used the SuperOneClick file to root my phone. After rooting, I installed BusyBox and then kept installing xRecovery but with no luck. xRecovery would just not install !!! I coped the apk file and ran the install from the phone, I got the icon but after getting the icon when it comes to the installing part it just freezes and after a while i get an error which gives me 2 options, Either to force close or to wait. I tried the other method too, the pushing method using X10ModTool and that didnt work either. After lots of tries and after getting extremely frustrated i uninstalled the apps and tried to start fresh.. I unrooted my phone using SuperOneClick and decided to root using z4root. I got the icon in the menu for z4root and i clicked on permanent root.. My phone restarts but i dont see the SuperUser icon anywhere.. If i try to install BusyBox it keeps on saying that its trying to get information..
So, So extremely frustrating !
Oh and i forgot to mention that after upgrading to 2.1, my Phone seems to have become slower while swishing between screens..
Which build number version do you have as the Superoneclick is for 2.1.A.0.435 and 2.0.2.A.0.24.
2.1.A.0.435
Im just not able to get root access ! Ive tried X10 Flash Tool, Ive tried SuperOneClick, Ive tried another software as well.. I just cant seem to get the root access..
I Installed Root checker and everytime after i root i check and it says that you do not have root access.. :S

Install xRecovery and then you can even upgrade your phone to 2.2 there are some good ROMS available on this forum, you can check this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617
Thanks. Yeah i have xrecovery installed as well.
What is basically a ROM? From my understanding its a customized firmware? If so, Which ones the best at the moment? I cannot compromise on functionality (as in i dont want that i cannot use bluetooth/camera/wifi or some other feature because of the rom). So basically i just want a stable rom in which i dont have any limitations. Also what is the advantage of using another rom anyway?
Thanks !
Okay.. ran a few of those optimizations and stuff and the phone is running a bit better. Can you guys tell me what is a good Benchmark score for Stock 2.1 on x10? im getting 33.4 MFLOPS right now.. is that alright?
I still am experiencing a little stutter in the menus, so i installed LauncherPro and that seems to have taken care of it.. I dont understand why cant i get the stutter to go away in the original home screen?
Lastly, Another problem ive been having.. My mobile is connected via USB but instead of it charging up, It is very very slowly losing charge. It went from 95% to 89% in around 45-60 minutes. Whats that all about?

For me the best 2.1 ROM so far is bluesparks, it is very fast and stable. Everything works in this ROM.
As for a 2.2 ROM, i just love wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 v4.3. Everything works except for the camcorder. For getting the camcorder to work you can download video illusion from the market. The quality wont be as good though. However this ROM is just too good. Too fast and stable with good animations.

Yeah, that is the 2.2 ROM I was talking about. Make sure you install the correct one depending on your baseband.
In order to keep everything, make a backup of your apps using titanium backup. You can then restore your apps after installing this ROM. Thats what I did.

Thanks Guys, but still no luck.
I don't understand how it stopped working, because I changed nothing inbetween watching the video. And it's not just this one video, it's all AVI files. (Divx or not)
I did a recovery to my stock (still rooted) and it is still doing the same thing. My problem is slightly different fro Mekee85's, where I can record video and still play it back. It seems to be any of the AVI videos I am trying to play are not working.
I also tried a battery pull and still nothing.
Rockplay says: "This File Cannot be Played with System Player"
VPlayer just tries to load the video and then jumps right back to the file selection.
I am going to try a different SD card to see if it helps too, but any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Here r my last suggestions, either start over with flashtool or repair with seus and then reroot and redue all installations of busybox amd xrecovery and then the ROMS. Then see what the phone can do. Good luck if i want to try this route.

Would trying to go to bb .58 help in any way? Or should I start sniffing this out as a hardware issue and see if rogers would swap it out?
Use must flashtool to get the .58 baseband. Its under the x10 android development section. I post links wen i get to a computer if u need them

I thank you again for your help. I did end up doing one more factory reset, still on baseband .55, and it seems all players are now working except for vplayer, which is no big issue since the other players are now working. Still odd but it works
one more quick question, since I am on a rogers x10a, will baseband .58 work with mine?
I actually don't know. I am never tried switching basebands except once since my baseband .54 has never disappointed me. You can either ask another Rogers member or risk it yourself. But if you got it working, I wouldn't mess with it now. I am with ATT in America so I don't know. I am glad you got it working though.

No Android Browser does if you haven't installed Flash. You have to find the flash 11 apk, download, and install. Then enable your browser to use flash. Just google Flash on Android Phone. You'll see how to do it. I have better luck with the original Android Browser playing flash, so that's the one I use. I haven't received my One Max yet, so I'm hoping this works on it. So far I've installed Flash on my G2 and Maxx HD, but I haven't been able to make it work on my original version Nexus 7.
