MOD EDIT: PLEASE POST ALL ISSUES RELATED TO ROOT IN THIS THREAD. DEVS PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS THREAD FOR ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS.
I shall compile a list of problems (possible problems) that people may have when rooting or after root.
Problem: Removed stock apps, still listed in Settings > manage apps
Solution: Delete /data/system/packages.xml, reboot. The phone will repopulate and wala its gone.
Problem: No 3G
Solution: Go to Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Press the left button on the X10 and click on New APN.
Problem: Phonebook doesn't work or F/Cs
Solution: Keep Timescape installed till we get custom roms. Phonebook is linked to Timescape.
Code:
Heres a list of APNs (Thanks to HellHitZ)

Are people who are having issues restoring previous settings after rooting their phones?
This may cause random issues so its best not to restore previous settings, restoring contacts, call logs and sms are acceptable.
I would not suggest restoring old settings on a fresh root.

Problem: Headphones not working
Solution: For X10a users, don't use Step4 and 5 of rooting process
As biktor_gj mentioned:
P.S.: Mediascape is NOT required to correct audio routing between speaker & headphones. This problem was caused by differences on the kernel module that controls audio routing and the newer baseband. With last root version you shouldn't have any problems using Android's original Music app.

Step4 and 5 replaces the the baseband and the baseband for X10a is older than the rooted baseband. So for now just do Step1 - 3 until SE releases a new ROM for X10a
I shall add more later, but these I think are the problems that most people are having.
were all the drivers installed properly? check the device manager for any unknown devices after you plugged your X10. if you haven't installed seus please do so. also make sure you use the first usb you plugged the X10 in flash mode. otherwise search registry again for the DeviceID. if you plugged the X10 in flash mode to more than one usb ports, you may have more than one entries in the registry for the DeviceID
Not sure what I did but its working now.. on step 2 halfway done
Im having issues with step4.. it says no device found..
nvm.. got it working now

Nice... Let me know since I am going to root it as well.... From Rogers.
Issues after Root. PLEASE DO NOT POST ISSUES ON THE ROOT THREAD
So here are some issues i now have after rooting,
Internet (WiFi or 2G/3G) So slow it is painful yet Market runs fine.
SD/apps is empty(i would like Mediascape back)?
superuser.apk app just displays a black screen (is this right)
cant assign walpapers as Mediascape was used to assign them.
hey do you have to debrand first before you root and can someone post instructions to root Xperia X10a
Rogers Xperia X10-Stock
For me all apps are in "/sdcard/apps/" but I can't install "Mediascape" (Quadrapop installed/uninstalled successfully) via Astro (maybe it's normal) or by copying "mediascape.apk" and "mediascape.odex" files to "/system/app" (Astro/Better Terminal Emulator).
I haven't issues with Wifi.
hoafter root we loose mediascape, can we install it again or is there an media software as an alternative? can i install mediascape again?
or is there an alternative as media image vieafter root we loose mediascape, can we install it again or is there an media software as an alternative?er
1) my keyboard is gone.
I only have HTC IME Mod installed, and it's not working
2) I have a few old O2 shortcuts in the app list but they seem to have been removed and when I click on them it force closes.
Solved issue 1 by installing another keyboard (I chose slideIT)
my wifi isn't working at all idk what the problem is, but my 3g is working perfectly on my X10A
I'm using an X10a from Rogers and rooted using the first post method and third post's X10a files. My WiFi is working perfectly and so is everything else.
Okay guys, my keyboard was gone at first but I fixed that by reinstalling the keyboard. Now however, I can't change my caller id. I had it set to private before I rooted and now I can't set it back to my original caller id. The setting is missing for me. You know how you go to settings and then call settings, I don't have an option to show my caller id. The only thing there is "Network service setting" and "Network Operators" Is anyone else having the same problem as me too?
Root is done ..
Now my phone restarts each time I plug it into the USB!!
Seems that all the input methods are gone.
I had Swype installed, but it wasn't working, so I removed it thinking I could re-install it again. But when I removed to I discovered that there are no other input methods on phone anymore! Help please
reinstall another input method..
thats what I did.
The rooting process seems to have installed the htc keyboard. Go to locale and text in your settings and enable it.
I had to reinstall swype as well, but it's working great now.

nope mine was running latest from rogers (Stock)
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?
A: You could try using ADB Wireless
Q: Is there any recovery menu for X10?
A: Try to see this thread

Hello
forum search is temporary disabled, I am sure this must have been asked over and over again, but.. here I go:
I have a sgs2 reflashed to XWKE7 baseband, (O2 rebranded to generic) and rooted
I see that the software is basically all the same as it was before, all the hubs, bbc player etc etc
- But I would like to perform a factory hard reset (is it called like this?), besides my own data, sync settings etc am I going to loose any of the installed pieces of software ?
- Can someone remember me the code for the factoryt hard reset please ?
- Regarding keyboard to get to the additional accent characters under one key when pressing and keeping the finger on I notice it takes just a bit too long to show them. Is there any hidden option to get it to show faster ?
Maybe I was just too used to old mobile keys for sms writing
- I still haven´t installed either smart keyboard, better keyboard or perfect keyboard from android market, which one is your favorite for clumsy finger people like me, always pressing the side or up key instead of the right one?
best rgds

Okey, that because
1. Your cellular provider dont give your phone number on your SIM (hardware)
2. Android dont have 3rd application that have access to change your phone number (as i know, CMIIW).
What can you do for having your phone number on your status?
1. Use another phone like sonyericson or nokia that can give access to give "my number" on SIM card (i dont have specific knowledge about the series of phone)
2. Move your sim from android to another phone.
3. Give your phone number on setting.
4. Move back your sim to android, and check what you have done...
Edit:
This someone that success used another phone to change "my phone number"

i just installed the rom ★ [Rom][I605VRAMC3][4.1.2] Stock Root Odex/Deodex [05/02/13]★ on my note 2 verizon phone, and i cannot turn off the keytones, i mean its set to off, but still clicks when i type making that obsesant noise, how can i fix that, is there a way to do it, or modify the features.xml or any way to shut off the beeping when i type?
i installed the deodexed version
Goto settings language and input click the settings icon for samsung keyboard then goto the keystones/feedback and uncheck it.
See if this does the trick
