I recently flashed a new rom on my x10i but now i cant use the flash tool as the model number has changed from x10i to S0-01C, there was no zip for changing the build.prop on the post where i got this rom! I searched the forum for solutions but couldn't find any!
i know we can change this by editing the build but don't know how!
i am a semi-noob
thanks in advance!

That is the model number for the x10 on a carrier called Docomo. If you want to modify the build.prop you will need a root explorer app such as es file explorer or root explorer (I assume that your phone is rooted...). Go to /system/build.prop and copy it to your SD card (always back up something BEFORE you modify it). Then open the original in a text editor. Change the lines that start with
ro.semc.product.model and
ro.product.model from S0-01C to Xperia X10
Then restart your phone.

Or you can use the new flashtool, connect your phone with USB debbugging on, pick Advanced - File Editor and fill the boxes:
path: system/ File: build.prop hit enter, change whatever you need to (as a matter of fact deveron3 just told you what you need to change), and finally click on save, disconnect and reboot, easy indeed!

Ok, I rooted and remapped the keyboard, and ti works fine, however, in order to get rid of the ugly language bar in landscape mode, I unchecked "default input settings" in the settings and.... they keyboard started acting as finnish/swedish again! When I checked "default input settings" - it reverted to normal. Is there any other file to edit?
ive got teh same problem
hmm since its still trying to grab qwerty-se-fi....what if we replace that with the qwerty-en.xml.
nope no dice
Any other ideas where the keyboard layout might be hiding?
if you uncheck the default input, the system uses the qwerty.kcm.bin file in /system/usr/keychars folder.
to get that replaced by the english layout you have to copy the qwerty-en.kcm.bin file from the /system/usr/keychars/mimmi/keyprints folder up into the /system/usr/keychars folder and save it as the qwerty.kcm.bin file.
i have read this somewhere on the x10 forum. i can't find the topic at the moment.
as i mentioned in another thread, the paths are from android 1.6. they might be different on 2.1.

You didn´t understand. This is easy, and everyobody does it. The problems start when you untick the default entry method in keyboard properties. Read carefully first post.

I downgraded to 1.6 German and will wait for official release. Having a Swedish layout on a German keyboard using English for typing is too much for my poor brains. Meanwhile since you ar on 2.1 can you check the idea below?

I strongly suspect that this file will be the same in 1.6 . So what I will try to do - save this file from a german version of 1.6, flash nordic, and install the file from german version.

wouldn't it be easier for you to just flash a rom which already has a multitouch in itself? you already rooted your phone, there's not much you can do wrong, and you can always restore if you do your backups on time
edit: plus, custom roms are in many cases much better than stock
thanks....its already working...thank you for all the walkthroughs you have posted....!!!!!
This is just the plain CRT effect. No custom roms, no pre-made files or anything. (You need root)
I've searched for this on XDA, Google, other forums etc. but I couldn't find it.
It always showed up ROMs including this feature, not the actual feature itself
DO A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!
Also, you need root
1. Pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework/ folder via ADB (Alternate way below*)
2. Decompile framework-res.apk with APKTool/APK Manager (Whatever you prefer..)
3. Navigate to /res/values/ and open the bools.xml file with Notepad++ (Notepad works too )
4. Search for "config_animateScreenLights" and change the "true" to "false".
5. Save, and compile the file. Open the fresh-compiled file and copy resources.arsc to the original apk. (Overwrite the existing one)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Transfer the framework-res.apk file back to your phone, and then switch it with the original one
You must reboot to make it work!
*If you don't know how to push/pull files via adb, you can use Root Explorer and copy it to the /sdcard/ folder, then transfer it to your PC.
If you switch it back with root explorer, programs will start to force close. Just reboot and you'll be fine

Ah, so sorry.
Open the original framework-res with WinRar. And do the same with the modified. In there you'll see the resources.arsc file
If you don't know how to use APK Manager, use google.

I read your thread, and know what you posted.
What I'm saying is that if someone makes the anim for example KF3, it would only take a few seconds to upload so other people could use, while diy CRT anim takes at least 5 mins even if you know what you're doing.

And you decompiled it right? I know i you were to just open the apk it would have a res but not res/values.
I followed the instructions ... and used APK Manager, I complied, signed, and before i quit it asked me to delete a file...resources.arsc
do i have to do that?
also, i noticed the APK Manager made signed apk of less size as compared to original file
original apk file size = 8.05 mb
complied, signed apk = 5.16 mb
is that normal?
