Just installed a custom rom on my Vodafone 858 and I'm wondering if there's a app or a easier way to turn off wifi/bluetooth and data connection instead of having to go to the settings all the time.
And is antivirus/firewall necessary on Android systems or very optional?
Why don't you just use the default Power manager widget? Just long-press on any of the home-screens>widgets>PowerControl

In this thread I would like to gather usually asked question. Feel freely to add more. And I will add more too. Any suggestion or correction welcome. Here we go.
Q: I want to flash my phone to other ROM. What should I do?
A: You could refer to this post about X10 Flash Tool by Bin4ry and list of the ROM from here by jerpelea
Q: I want to flash my phone but don't want to loose my apps and settings
A: Just don't include userdata.sin when flash. Thanks to MarylandCookie
Q: I restore my contacts using stock Backup and Restore Apps but I can't see my contacts in the phonebook.
A: The apps restore the contacts under your Google accounts. You could show your Google contacts by Clicking three people icon at the top left of your phonebook and enable it from there.
You should check about Social Phonebook too.
Q: My market keep crashing when download apps. What should I do?
A: Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Find your market apps -> Clear cache (if any) -> Uninstall updates
Q: I want to remove ads from apps. What should I do?
A: IMO, just let it be. That's what make so many android apps free.
Q: I need to root my X10. What should I do?
A: Use z4root. Refer to this post by MarylandCookie for detail
Q: I couldn't find Assisted GPS option. Where is it?
A: Settings-> Location and Security -> Use wireless networks
Q: Where is the Auto Brightness?
A: Brightness except 0 and 100 IS auto brightness just work different way. Or you could try using Spare Part apps from the market
Q: I want a longer battery life what should I do?
A: 1. Turn off GPS : Settings-> Location and Security -> Uncheck Use GPS Satellites
2. Turn off Wireless Networks : Settings-> Location and Security -> Uncheck Use Wireless Networks
3. Use home launcher replacement such as ADW Launcher by anderwerb, Launcher Pro, HelixLauncher, etc
4. Make your phone in airplane mode after 23:00. You could automated doing this by using Timerrific apps
5. Turn off your Autosync : Settings-> Accounts & sync -> Uncheck Auto-sync
6. Turn off/make a longer interval of your update. Such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Usually there is an option for that inside the apps itself
7. DO NOT Use AUTO Killer apps. Use a MANUAL Task Manager. Kill the apps manually when you feel want to do it. Do not need to do it automatically or often though
8. If you have unstable 3G networks, change your phone to GSM Only : Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode -> Choose GSM only. Switch to 3G network/WCDMA when you need it and don't forget to switch back, because unstable signal could drain your battery
Q: I want to optimize my X10. What should I do?
A: 1. You could applied Jit. You could find it from here by ttxdragon or here by jerpelea
(I just enable Jit and manually delete app I don't want. Well I keep Timescape and MediaScape ^_^ )
2. In my observation, no need to change the Heap Size, because 24 is the best value fit for our X10. Otherwise is just a placebo effect. Even I experience have to click little apps more than one to run it when I'm in 32.
Q: I don't what apps are safe to delete. What should I do?
A: You could try to see the list here by exekias
Q: I wrongfully deleted my system app. What should I do?
A: You surelly want to try to install it again from here by XperiaX10iUser
Q: I cannot receive SMS when there is Low on Space notification
A: Probably Solution : Use Titanium Backup and choose Clean Dalvik Cache. Haven't have time to try it yet.
Q: I want 3D Gallery. What should I do?
A: Use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro (I only tried those launcher) and add Custom Shortcut, Choose Activity, and you will Find Gallery from the list. That's is your 3D Gallery
Q: I want hidden Music app. What Should I do?
A: Use the same method as above only choose Music this time. IMO it's not that great, as matter of fact I deleted the "hidden" Music app. ^_^
Q: I'm bored with the look of my phone. What you need is theme.
A: 1. Read _calum_ theme reference
2. XperiaX10iUser's theme
3. Theme from dk2000zx
4. Elemental theme from Mr_Element
5. Or you could just go to this section. There are plenty of them. ^^
Q: I want 2.2 for my X10.
A: There is no official announcement about it.
Q: I still want 2.2 for my X10.
A: Well you could just try it from this thread
Q: Ouch I forgot to bring my cable. My cable is missing. My cable is broken. I need to access my phone using ADB. What should I do?

Hello,
Im fairly new to all this, i used to have a G1 that supported proxy settings for the WIFI via a custom rom. However my x10 mini pro doesn't seem to have this, is there anyway i can get this extra settings?
Thanks,
Ant..
ok - so now that custom roms can be installed on this phone, does anyone know how the proxy settings are added to other custom rom phones? I have done some searching but it has taken me back here!!!
What do you want the setting for?
If you want to open the blocked sites then there is apps to do that.
i have the same problem- to conect ot my school network you need to be able to edit proxy settings!
Hi there
you can try this app:
WiFiACE (for WiFi Advanced Config Editor). You can find it in the market or via the appbrain app.
I use it to connect to my Uni network.
Cheers
Hi, i want to know if it is possible to pre-define settings like mobile data (off) or account sync (off) or any other before flashing? Is there a file which i could edit?
Oor if this isn't possible, whats about to integrate DroidWall into system? Status should be enabled(requires root permission). Rules aren't important since DW blocks every activity from the start.
The thing is, every time i flash a ROM and type in my PIN, android activates mobile data automaticly and sends some bytes. I simply want to stop android from doing this.
Actually i am using the latest ICS build.
I appreciate any suggestions.

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Galaxy S3 and have the following problem: everytime I open a program (via Link (Tapatalk) or from the contacts (SMS/WhatsApp))
I get the notification if I wish to open the same type Always or Just once with the respective program.
Everytime I choose "Always", the phone tells me that I can reset the default app settings in the Application menu, but it doesn't remember my choice,
so I have to redo this step again and again.
I installed several Original and Custom ROMS and Kernels, all with the same error. I always install a new ROM with full data/cache/dalvik wipe.
Anyone had the same problem or knows how to fix this?
Kind regards.

Hello guy`s
i`m searching since days for a solution for my Android car system.
It has Android 8.1.0 installed, i can access the filesystem via adb root, the system itself is not rooted.
I have two issues with the device.
since a factory reset, when booting the system it does start into the "normal" slide to unlock screen, before the reset it booted directly into the Car GUI.
I searched also for disabling this, but only found how to reset or delete the passwords, and disable it on old Android 2.3 4.0 or 5, but not on Android 8.
it would now be easy said to just disable it at the system security settings under Display lock, but here is the second issue, the option seems to have been disabled by the manufacturor.
the same is with some other Option menu`s that are missing at settings.
i`m not that firm with android os itself, so i can`t finde the right command or modification to change this.
can someone help me how to disable slide to unlock, and how to reactivate deactivated system settings ?
sincerely Chri
