Dear all, a few days back I bought this p500. I want to know:
1 if z4root is ok for rooting our not.
2.after rooting if I remove some crappy system applications and do a factory reset what will happen.
3.how can i add some applications in system memory.can it be done through root explorer and how.
Thanks and regards.
i did a z4root on my stocked rom without any problems. or superoneclick (tried and used this for custom recovery) its working based on experience.
for cleaned up system apps try custom recovery and try the different roms on this thread, would particularly recommend noejn's rom. (also tried AH by corwin, Prime and Megatron with much success, currently on Minitron for battery life)

- z4root successfully used on V10B firmware
- z4root also successfully used on v10C firmware.
- z4root was not successfully used on V10E
off topic, i rooted and installed Megatron v1 ROM. So, I havent tried deleting crappy system applications. not sure about your 3rd questions.
to find out your firmware version number:
on home screen, press menu key --> settings --> about phone (at the bottom)
look at Software version (again at the bottom)
wat system app you deleted?
THIS THREAD IS BORN TO HELP ALL THE DEV... PLEASE MAKE HERE YOUR QUESTION.
DON'T PUSH THE DEV.
When you put a question when is possible i update this FAQ.
Please excuse my really bad english....
INSTALL INSTRUCTION FROM FRESH STOCK ROM
save all your data
start seus recovery from Sony Ericsson PC Companion and make your phone clean and fresh.
install a file explorer, install XRECOVERY and install the rom, then restart and install with XRECOVERY the HOTFIX you need.
CAN I UPGRADE FROM VERSION TO ANOTHER?
Yes in the 90% without trouble, your data and app are safe, but not from foryou to ginger and sometimes....
CAN I INSTALL ONLY THE LAST VERSION?
Usually the next version have all the hotfix and some tweeks, yes you can.
SOME APP CRASH, WHY?
Try to delete all the data of the app from the application menu.
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app.
Sometimes you need a fresh SEUS flash...Try to discover if your app not work only for you or all the people...
SOME APP DON'T INSTALL (like angry birds), AND NOW?
Try to Wipe Dalvik Cache using xRecovery
In case, if any app doesn't install even after cleaning Dalvik Cache via xRecovery for some reason.. Try this command:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
Or simply navigate to /mnt/secure/asec/ using root explorer, find smdl2tmp1.asec and delete it. It will solve the problem.
MY BATTERY HAVE STRANGE DRAIN ISSUE

MULTITOUCH NOT WORK, WHY?
It's possible you have a differtent version of x10 mini pro, there are an alternative module, be happy, try this link and copy the module in your /system/lib/modules with a filemanager (you need to reboot).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=620359&d=1307637881
SOME DEFAULT STOCK ROM APPLICATION NOT WORK (like ALBUM), WHY?
We don't have sony Ericsson framework... sorry, stay tuned for next hotfix.
MY X10 SOMETIMES REBOOT, WHY?
Reboots? -> Flash non overclocked version or try to remove undervolt option.
MY X10 FREEZE AT SE LOGO, NOW?
Stuck at SE Logo? -> Wipe Data and Dalvik Cache, restore via MyPhoneExplorer or something Else
CAN'T USE OLD APP2SD and ext2/3/4 PARTIOTION, WHY?
Some custom roms use the native Froyo app2sd, go in the app menu and move from here to the sd, the old app2sd is born for Enclair rom, on this roms not work.
I CAN'T MOVE APPS TO SD, WHY?
Can't move apps to SD?? -> Format SD Card or delete hidden folders on SD Card
Make sure you have 'Allow application moving' checked in settings>cyanogenmod settings>application settings
I CAN'T OPEN DISPLAY SETTINGS FOR AUTO BRIGHTNESS, WHY?
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13382274&postcount=10
IN THIS ROM WE SHOULD HAVE JIT ENABLEAD OR DISABLED?
Leave jit enabled, it gives you the best overall performance. If you play a lot of games its ok to turn it off. I leave it on all the time. If you need to save battery you can also try to turn jit off. Resizing jit heap takes a bit of battery
HOW I CAN SET AN APP AS THE DEFAULT APP?
Go to the application menu ---> manage application ---> find the old default app and remove the default. Next time android make you the question of the new default app.
HOW I CAN REMOVE SYSTEM APP?
IS Dangerous but if you want try use an app like TITANIUM BACKUP.

"Slade, i just went for a poo, do i need to wipe?"
and
"Slade, i installed your rom, and now my TV doesn't work, WTF i h8 j00!!"
and

Hello,
I just purchased an Archos 70IT, 8Go, with the latest formware (2.3.something)...
I want to get rid of this menubar on the bottom (moving it top) and also increase the 300Mo application limit :s
so it seems that only rooting can help...
I looked through this forum, found the "archanagel" method, but also that it does not work on my firmware...
I don't care so much about warrenty... can someone please just give me a hint as to how to root my device and, also important, some tools to do what I want to do ?
thanks in advance for your help
If you just want root, use the chulri root method look here at forum
If you want extra functions like 3g support,dvb-t support, increasing ram (swap,compcache), increase the apps partition and many other, try Urukdroid
With both ways you loose warranty
I tried Urukdroid, but got strucked at the very beginning, unable to flash the kernel :s
I enter bootloader, but the menu à have seems different of the one given... Perhaps because I am on latest firmware (2.3.2) ?
And you installed the SDE first?
from Archos Site ? feel bad... I forget starting there :s
So I think I have the answer here...
is there a topic which can help me step by step doing so ?
And is it sure that Urukdroid installs well on Archos70IT with 2.3.2 firmaware ?
because actually, I don't want to "kill" my device
UrukDroid bypass the Archos firmware, (you have the choix in the bootloader) so the version don't change anything
Somebody testet this system on an archos70it?
Also about sdk... any special precaution to take?
Thanks for your help all
I have a A70 IT and UrukDroid runs very well!
About the SDK, just follow the instructions. Oh, and it void the firmware waranty.
I will try this evening... hope not to post an SOS here after
Good luck
I made everything, and it works
nice !
but here a small question : if I update now to the latest firmware, will it change my device ? will I loose the root etc ?
thanks for all the help
UrukDroid and official Android from Archos are each in their own partition, so upgrading one will not change the other^^

Yep and if you've questions post it
in fact I have two already
1) Archos and Uruk are on two partitions... How can I force Uruk to load when I shutdown/switch on again without selecting it "manually" ? my archos wants to boot on archos OS all time :/
2) about the update... I have it in Uruk boot (he wants me to update Android to 2.3 when I am on Uruk...)
thanks
It asks you beacause UrukDroid is based on an older version of the Archos Android.
And to force the start of UrukDroid, for me it is by default, and if not, you just have to start it once in the Recovery Menu and then it is by default.

1) Press the Volume Down Button when you startup, then choose Developer Edition
From now on your archos will boot UD normally
2) Its the Archos firmware 2.3.26, not Android 2.3 Gingerbread
2.3.26 is still Android 2.2.1 Froyo If you want 2.3.26 you have to use the normal Archos Os, not Urukdroid or wait (Until UD 1.1 is ready)
so updating will not modify uruk ? (remove root etc for example...) ? if update is fine I will do it
Also, it seems that Uruk is installed on SD Card... if I want to remake a clean "advanced" install on internal storag... how can I do this ? (since if I install it again, it seems to me that I will have 3 OS on my Archos... I just want "Uruk" on the "internal"

Hey Guys,

Greetings

Hi,
I've upgraded to urukdroid 1.6.4, the upgrade went smooth but afterwards I got stuck in a bootloop...
Found that is was related to overclocking so I disabled this in the rescue menu and I could start up again.
I had some issues with some apps which is a known bug apparently so I wanted to install 1.6.2 instead but I couldn't access the "/data/UrukUpdate" directory.
Turns out none of my apps - with exception of titanium backup - are getting su access any more (not even the superuser app)
I tried fix permissions from the rescue menu, doesn't help.
I want to do a reinstall of urukdroid now but when I go to "Boot Menu" and choose "Developer edition" urukdroid just starts up, I don't see the UrukDroid Installation framework
I was hoping that someone could tell me the steps to reinstall 1.6 as clean as possible
thx!
b
Did you try to put the kernel files? ;o
1.Hold volume+
2.Enter the recovery menu
3.Browse thru the settings and enter Developer Edition Menu
4.Choose to flash zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz
5.Let the device reboot and you will see the installation screen.
Tip: Make sure you download Urukdroid 1.6 installation pack (rar). Everything you need is there. I'm using 1.6.2 because with 1.6.3/4 I can't install apps sometimes.
thanks, this worked!
