[Q] Just installing system.img without webtop.img - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I want to know what happen if i just install system.img and do not install webtop.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
do i get more free ram and do i loos any functionality, cos i dont use webtop at all and it is kinda useless for me.

Well I can tell u that I am running Redpill v3 and had originally downloaded the full file with webtop for the same exact reason. Was worried what would happen if I didn't install it. But since then I have frozen and then completely uninstalled webtop with absolutely no negative effects. Im thinking u don't need it unless u use the webtop function.

[Q] Few questions i need answered.

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?

Short answer; no. Maybe creatouch, but not media/timescape

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.

2.3 is being worked on, allthough the dev working on it just had a hardware failure on his HDD, so he has to start over.

Hi,
I also didn`t live near americas (hell there`s atlantic ocean between us ) and i have 435 installed.
It will wipe all your thing.
Just like format c: (**** i miss that)
The best way to do everything with just one tool is flashtool. There you can do almost everything.

[Q] How to install Data2SD (for CM 6.1.3 - Wolfbreak)

Hi guys, need some help on how to do this. I've done a LOT of searches on the web and on here specifically. All instructions online seem to vary (phone to phone) and even within the x10.
So, if anyone would care to help me (and any other people that may need it) on how to install this (on Wolbreak's ROM) step-by-step; I would be EXTREMELY grateful!
Thanks guys.
U know that data2sd is unstable. But the link is in wolfbreaks ROMS link in development section. Look for it there

i want to know how to REMOVE it, i wanna see if theres really a difference or if im just convincing myself there is.
since it seems some ppl it lags and some it doesnt.
so can someone tell me how to remove data2sd ?
I honestly don't know how to remove it other than reflashing your current rom then restore your apps with titanium backup
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
So, any defintive way or steps that one would follow on how exactly this would be installed?
Last time I was trying out data2sd the guy who posted instructions said that you can stop using it just by renaming or deleting the data image, I'm not sure what's it called but for me it was in xrecovery folder on sd card.

[Q] Bell Atrix APKs

Upon getting my Atrix and rooting it, I uninstalled some of the bloatware Bell put on it. However, I saw some topics on XDA saying that the apps should be frozen instead of removed, otherwise the phone could not be updated. Does someone with a Bell Atrix mind putting up the APKs of apps that Bell put on (Remote PVR, Kobo, TV & Radio, Zoompass + others)? Thanks in advance.
Here is a .zip with a dump of my /system directory. if you go into the app folder in that .zip all the .apk's you're looking for should be in there

it's just because he removed them. They're on every device and if you don't know what they're for, then you haven't removed them or done anything to them so you don't need to download that. It's just that it is rumoured that without them you can't install an official update.

the "roms" that are out now for the atrix (not technically the same as a traditional rom) will freeze the apps by themselves, but not exactly delete them. This is the accepted method, freezing them will stop them from taking up memory/lagging your device, but won't affect any updates that are to be made.
that being said - none of the ROMs out just yet include bell support - although ken is working on it for his next release of GingerBlur.
how can I install the APKs from the fastboot screen? Is it even possible?

no, unfortunately not. the only thing that would really help is a .sbf file that you could flash through RSD.
the only problem is that neither bell, nor motorola canada has seen fit to "release" (or leak) the necessary files to flash our phones back to stock.
Tagged to read later...
Sorry for digging up an old thread. I accidentally deleted some of the Bell bloatware, and I think I'll need those for the new GB update that's being released. I tried installing the apks posted in this thread, but some of them won't work. I'm guessing it's a different version than after the 2.2.2 update?
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
Which version is this dump from, is it 2.2.2? I ask because my 2.3.4 update is failing because the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file is failing the hash check - I tried overwriting it with the one in your zip but it still isn't working :-/
Try erasing cache data, then installing the 2.2.2 gobstopper by nfhimself.

Flashing X10a

I downloaded the flashtool and the folder for 2.1,which is on my pc desktop. How do I combine the two folders? Haven't extracted flashtool yet.
And how do I keep all the apps I have,even the pre- installed apps,then go back and delete the ones I don't want?
Have Titanium backup download in the mobile. Also purchased SD micro sd 8GB card. Can I back apps onto sd card?
All help and advice is appreciated,I am a novice at this,so I DO NOT want to brick my mobile, paid too much for it! !
Thank-you.

Go here for a guide...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Although you want to keep your preinstalled apps, if you flash to the generic 2.1 you are basically debranding your phone and all the preinstalled apps will be removed. You could try "my backup root" but im not too sure if it will work. Plus it's nearly impossible to brick your phone..just make sure you follow the guide.
Flashing Xperia
Wow;
This is so cool!! Thank you ever so much for the link and the advice. Another question;do you think I can redownload some of the at&t apps?
There's only a select few you can probably get back from the market for free. But most of the AT&Ts apps can easily be replaceable with other free and probably better apps from the market.

Now,I gave a trial run,And think the flash MIGHT be successful. Now,I have Titanium,will this backup my current apps,or do I have to re-download them? And what about my browser bookmarks?

Any and all suggestions are helpful, and thank-you once again for the advice and help!!

Did all the downloads,are followed the instructions to the tee about combining the generic firmware into the firmware file,or something of that nature. A little nervous about flashing,but I'm going to do it. After flashing,should I use SEPC Companion to update OS to update OS?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
If i understand u, if u flash with flashtool, u want to flash over with pc comanion? If thats the case, u dont need to because u already picked the firmware with the baseband u wanted. So once u used flashtool u r done.
I saw u got titanium backup. U know your phone must be rooted right to use it? U can use flashtool to root too after u flashed the 2.1 update

It looks like you're on the right path, but here's a step by step guide that will answer all your questions especially for AT&T X10a.

You can't use Titanium Backup until after you have rooted. Instead use Mybackup, free in the Market.
Yes,I believe so. And yes,I know I can root AND have SUPERONECLICK up and running. Boy,I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!! Guess I am becoming tech savvy after all.
If you can,give me reasons WHY I should root. Once you reply,will give it a go.

Wow!! Goosebumps!! Thanks for the link,a fantastic thread. Will take both of your advice:download mybackup,put it fresh,brand-new 8GB micro sd,and backup apps. If you think it is also advisable to root,will do that also. For the ROM,what do YOU advise? That is what you change when rooting,correct?

Rooting allows you to remove preinstalled SE system apps that you don't use, like Timescape and Face Recognition, which will greatly increase performance. It also allows you to enable JIT (optimize), and install xRecovery. See the guide I linked above for safe system apps to remove.
I cannot believe it!! I did the root,when I sort of whacked my phone up,SE PC Companion came to the rescue.
It is like having a new mobile!! The changes are major,same withthe apps,but I certainly live with the changed.
Now,how do I get rid of Mocked,by rooting? I don't need it,so I wouldlike to delete it.
Thank you for your guidance,advice and help. Wouldn't have done it without it!!

How to remove a hack??

I want to remove the beats audio hack from my phone because at least while using headphones, I noticed a blatent drop in sound quality. I use another EQ app from the market because DSP FC's and it's still noticeable.
Never used this until today (was reading over apps forum) and decided to try it but now I don't want it.
Is there a way to remove the hack without having a sbf or wipe my data?
Thanks

You can grab the bin, etc, lib and framework files from your rom and then use root explorer to overwrite what you have now and that should remove the beats files.

Unfortunatly i dont believe there is way a way to remove this hack.. Your best bet would be to just sbf ur phone it kinda sucks because if u were to do backup u will bringing that hack right back to ur phone. If i was in ur shoes i would save ur most wanted apps to sdcard or write them down so u dont forget what ones u had. Just sbf ur phone.. that way u wont have to hassle with a bunch of problems. Also there is a new update 1.3.418 for the droid x2 it bring it from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 and there is way to root this go to my thread in droid x2 general OFFICIAL 2.3.5 ROOT METHOD. Zergrush rooting method and others do not work on 2.3.5 so dont try them.
