I have a Live with Walkman, unlocked the bootloader via official method months ago. After that, my TrackID did not work.
Now, I have been using Hybroman ROM v12 for some time, recently changed to Rage Kernel.
Today, I installed newest TrackID from Android Market....I mean Google Play. To my suprise, it works, I was able to detect some songs, that I played from my laptop.
Might be worth of trying, if you want TrackID.
unlock my phone with testpoint, i have 2 track id, stock n from market.....
same, different on UI.
sent from my Walkman
and you're seeing it now? It's been a long time since there is official trackID in market which works without DRM keys.
confirmed working
I can confirm that this works on an unlocked Xperia Mini (Doomlord's method) with Rage kernel.
App does apparently not replace the stock TrackID app - and it doesn't work in airplane mode.
Market link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.trackid
(truncated the https link prefix - why won't xda allow me to post external links?)

It doesn't work, if you have unlocked bootloader.
Does the new TrackId integrate with the radio app, or do I have to remove the original TrackId app before installing?
Repair TrackID on unlocked BL
1. Download latest TrackID here
2. Rename to trackid.apk
3. Put it to /system/app
4. Replace the old trackid.apk
5. Fix permissions
6. Reboot

Chainfire released a new root tool that uses an exploit in Gingerbread called "Gingerbreak". This might be an easier way to root the Play/Arc/Neo/Pro and it might also work on phones with locked bootloaders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Confirmed working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045204
could anyone confirm it working on the Play? honestly i got so many important applications and data and i dont want to lose them
regards
I ran Gingerbreak on Xperia Play.
Superuser installed but showing nothing in apps.
Installed titanium backup but not showing in app list.
I guess it didn't work.
Any ideas?
works great for me, maybe a reboot is required ?
Can anyone confirm weather running Gingerbreak will wipe the sd?
I ran it on a blank sd because I don't want to try with my primary sd.
this simple way of rooting works great for me, and I am a total newbie. All apps are there and i was able to remove some apps finally that came with the xperia like the chinese keyboard

Sd card will not be formatted
Titanium won't work on my play.
I purchased pro for my hero, and i can install, but the application is just not available in the app draw.
'My backup root' installs and works fine but i just can't find how to remove the bloatware with it.
I do have root access so what can i use to get rid of what's app, postcard etc ??
gingerbreak v1.2 works great doesnt wipe anything its just a simple .apk to install
edit: yea so none of the gingerbreaks are working for me anymore it keeps getting stuck at running exploit this may take a few minutes, left it for 2 hours and still nothing this getting old fast im going back to my X10 for now till something is out there guaranteed to work everytime peace
Didn't work on my xperia play.
Installed it to phone, formatted my sd card and when i run gingerbreak it get's stuck on running exploit with my sd card unmounted.
In another thread someone said that if you go to storage and manually mount the sd card it will reboot and work.
But.......this again did not work for me.
Going to try the manual root.
Ive used this one mine one thing I noticed, it runs for about 20 seconds and unmounts the SD card and seems to do nothing for up to 10 minutes but seriously leave it and have a brew come back and it will be done.

You can use a root file explorer and just delete the .apk's you dont want from /system/app/ or try an app called "system app remover" (or somthing like that) its free in the market

worked fine for a uk PLAY. was purchased in a carphone warehouse store. and as far as im aware its bootloader was locked. installed it, ran it, done, boom
i wonder if after rooting via gingerbreak it's still possible to obtain any update from sony Ericsson and install it ?
Can someone confirm This plzzzz
Gingerbreak not working on teh vzw Xperia Play 2.3.2 (r800x) sadly.
cant seem to root waiting for about 30 min still on runing exploit, im using android 2.3.3
It doesn't work on the 2.3.3 build as of yet only on 2.3.2...
Regards Dousan...
Possible work-around for 2.3.3 (locked bootloader)
Since this posted in the Arc sections has been confirmed working on Arc's with a LOCKED bootloader, those who want may give it a try.
DO NOT DO THIS if your bootloader have been unlocked, it will brick your device!!!
1. Use flashtool to downgrade to the .181 generic firmware
2. Root the device using GingerBreak1.2
3. Update to .145 (2.3.3) using FOTA
root should/may be retained. That is at least as it seems on the Arc.

Hi guys,
I installed the latest version of trackid on MiniCM7 by nAa (the last one), but I've problem to use it.
Trackid use some libs in "data/data/com.sonyericsson.trackid/lib", but each time I reboot my phone this folder is deleted, and I have to install trackid again to get it back (without libs, trackid doesn't works anymore).
Does someone can help me to resolve this ?
Edit : Problem solved by itself, lib folder is no more deleted when I reboot the phone.
Hi, anyone knows how I can get widgets from galaxy s3 to my mobile (SE Xperia mini pro - sk17i)?
Yes, you can.
Search for a galaxy s3 rom, and then extract it.
Search for the widgets' apk files, and extract them, too.
Port them to MDPI resolution, then modify them to work on Sony phones and tada... IT'S DONE!
Maybe it sounds easy but it takes a LOT OF TIME...

File TouchWiz50LauncherM2OD. Apk I moved in with exploer root system / app and put in when I wanted to install the application was unsuccessful (the app is not installed). I gave permissions and zaškrtnul. After rebooting, nothing is ever discovered (via inserting widgets or click through the house). I tried to reinstall over exploer root, and wrote it again, but all is not installed. Finally, I have tried to set permissions checked in the first column and the second column only the first or nothing (just like having another application in a folder). I restart again, but again nothing (in widgets choose or click through the home key, with root exploer : application is not installed) any help?
maybe it need system files only found in samsung devices

Hi Friends,
I recently rooted my x10i with the help of the xda-developers.com. Now my phone does not hang that much, thanks to everyone. The problem I created is, I removed all stock apps in my x10i such as the wisepilot, timescape etc., I also removed facebook app and all files related to facebook (thinking of installing it fresh from the market). But now after installing facebook from market, it doesn't work. It says katana.facebook something force closed. I also tried with other market apps for facebook, Please help regarding this....
And another problem is my bluetooth doesn't turn on, I am switching it on...it says turning on bluetooth, but never turns on....

Download official Facebook app.
Go to settings/applications/all apps/Bluetooth/ press "clear data"
It should be fine, if it didn't helped try blue FTP app from market.
Last solution is flashing stock frimware (as you said "deleted some apps", so factory reset won't work properly)

You are kidding or you can't really fix?
1-download flashtools (must have app)
2-download stock firmware .ftf
3-Place it at flashtools folder
C:/flashtools/"firmware "
(If firmware is in zip format rename it's extension to ftf)
4-run flashtools
5-click on lightning button then select flash mode
6-Press next button & follow instructions for flashing frimware

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574185
Just install a cwm recovery.& place Donald HD in sdcard
Then boot to recovery, press backup & restore/backup then wait for recovery to finish with creating backup point
then go to main screen of recovery & press full wipe /factory reset (contacts , SMS , calendar entries ,save of apps & games will delete so create backups)
Then press install zip
Navigate to where you placed the rom & click to install
That's it , enjoy.
PS,do not remove backup in clock work mod folder of your SD, & copy it to your PC, just in case anything goes wrong you can easily switch to stock.

I have successfully rooted my Sony Xperia LwW (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) using the DoomLord method. Everything is great. I can remove some stock Bloatware or apps that i don't use (using Root Explorer) & i did remove quite some apks. Although i had paid heed to some good advise to store the junk & not delete it. Hence i was moving the apks from /system/app/ to my sd card just to be safe.
The issues arised a little later.
1) My calendar widget that was showing Facebook synced Birthdays is now left completely Blank. I did try googling the issue but no solution. I correctly remember not having touched the FB Calendar sync apk. i also tried to check Xperia FB integration which is ON in performance assistant (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) but still the issue remains.
2) The WALKMAN app lost all the library i.e. my Music. I had it updated in a while but it only updated from the Music folder on the SD card & not the Bluetooth & Downloads folder. i'm still clueless.
3) The Performance Assistant App that handles the FB Integration Force Closes on me.
There might be more issues but i'll post them as i find them during my use. My phone is in a working condition alongwith the issues. I hope Rooting is not a SIN. But there just might be some speed bumps on the way. So please assist me in any way you can. :good:
FYI: I'm a 90-95 % NooB so please be a little elaborative in your suggestions (if any on my problem). I'll update every info from my side.
Thanks. Peace Out.
i think you remove some part of them
try re-flash your firmware and root again , and be careful if you want to remove system application ,
ora maybe you can write down here every app that you've deleted , so we know whether they're important or not
App List
Here's the list of apps that i've moved. (in screenshots)

Looking at your screenshots that isn't what you've done if you've just moved the apks, if you not uninstalled or froze then you've left a lot of stuff on your Phone, so best advise is to reflash the ROM, root, install Titanium Backup or similar and freeze the apps, although tbh I would just uninstall all those in your screenshots.
Thanks for the Heads up !!

Thanks for the heads up. I installed an app yesterday called NoBloat Free from the play store. The reviews were good so i gave it a shot. Interestingly in the list of System Apps in NoBloat i did not find the apps i moved. So i believe the apps are indeed out of question.
Another thing i tried regarding my Library issue was to format my sd card (read it on Sony's Forum) and then copy all the content back to my phone. The thing worked but the media gallery backfired. My screenshots that i posted above are no more in my gallery. But when i viewed it from Astro File manager, they were there.
Could my sd card be a villain for all my problems ?
I guess performance assistance app has a connection with AppEnabler.apk

I believe it is just a change of name. When the OS is running the app is listed in the menu as performance assistance while in the /system/app it is called app enabler. Well that is from sony guys to help pace up the phone. So it is of little concern to me.

Here's the rooting link. Followed it point to point & successfully rooted:
Xperia 2011 Rooting Guide
Great actually but sometimes i think i messed up my phone.
Another weird thing happening is that my Wi-Fi when enabled on my phone does not connect to my router (although it has saved my router SSID & password). i have to go to airplane mod then disable airplane mode & then the Wi-Fi connects to the router. ANY INSIGHTS ?
Calendar Restored !!!
The app enabler didn't help... right !! So i went to Settings > Xperia > Facebook integration & kicked started the Calendar sync & VOILA its on track. So 1 problem less.
