Do you know how to work with android?
If you are noob in this matter please read about android and it's ROM's.
Don't do that if you don't know what you're doing
Cheers
Yes, I'm noob.

+1. Before you get into playing with stuff, you should do some reading.
Just to get you started, you need to get "admin" level access of the phone to delete stuff. For this you need to root the phone. Read about rooting (GOOGLE it up) and if you think you are comfortable with it, just follow this forum and you should get a good idea about how to go about it.
But be warned that you may mess up and the phone might not even start.
Best of luck.
Hey guys, when you're telling someone like "go read" or something, please use the old fashion method and give us a link. It's really hard for Android newbs to understand everything.
The easiest way to root your Optimus One Android 2.2 is to use Z4root
But still, I don't know what to do next..
EDIT:
There's some information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855654&highlight=uninstall
And here's how you can do it too: http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/
After installing z4root.
Install Titanium Backup from the market.
Open z4root, select Temporary Root, run Titanium Bakcup and uninstall the apps you don't wan't!
Let me start by saying that there are other threads on this, I'm aware, but I have yet to find a solution. So I bought a sony ericsson xperia x10a around November, and I'm sick of waiting for a 2.1 update to hit the US, given that it probably never will. I wish to update my phone to android 2.1. Now, I've already rooted it. It is currently unrooted and back to blank slate, but I can root it again easily because I know how now. However, my problem is that to update it, I need to flash it right? So working through flashtools with the firmware .ftf I need/want I come across an interesting roadblock. I need to allow unsecure apps for it to work, apparently. This is a problem because it cannot be done with AT&T brand on the phone. So it looks like I need to debrand it. My question is how? trying to exploit the pccompanion/seus repair function to have it debrand with blob_fs does nto work as the helper redownloads the file and overwrites the changes, so those guides seem out of date. Now, I have read in other threads that you do not need to debrand, just run flashtools, if you dont need to debrand, then how do you allow unsecure apps as flashtools instructs? Do I just ignore that? If I ignore that then wont the apps needed for the firmware not be installed? Please dont don't condescend too much to me, I have read other threads but I cannot find an answer, if its there then I'm just stupid. But I would really like some help or explanations.
EDIT: Firmware is 1.6, Baseband is 1.1.32
I used flashtool tool on my phone when i got it back from the shop and it debranded it. So i can get any app i want. There is another way to debrand but it cost money but flashtool is much easier to use.
U asked some very good questions. I repeat u arent stupid. it took me months of studying these forums before i started the ROM stuff. Let me know if u need help with flashtool.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
I have tried flashtool, but I am told to allow apps from unknown sources before continuing. Because I have a branded phone at that moment that is not an option available to me. Do I proceed anyways? Wont that just not put any apps on that I need, like android keyboard?
Hi heres a quick tutorial on what to do. This guy does many videos on flashing and such. He does a tutorial on the flashtool and other videos on how to rootand install important apps like xrecovery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9_pFOxPJUY
go to that link. It should help you in updating your phone to 2.1. Also if you have any questions i'd be glad to help you. This tutorial and other videos from this guy have shown me everything i needed though.
Hi Guys,
I would like to seek you expertise regarding my request, im a noobie and its my first time using a Android Phone (SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro is my 1st) So far im enjoying my phones capabilites however, my internal memory seems to be insufficient and the apps2sd is not compatible with my current OS, i saw a dude (having the same phone as mine) and he is using Gingerbread 2.3.7 OS i was amaze and i asked him how did he upgraded his OS - he just nod and said "Visit XDA-Developers and you'll find out" So here i am humbly requesting your assistance in order for me to maximize my phones full potential. Looking forward for your replies....
PS - I dont even have any idea what "rooting" so im currently sifting the website to learn step by step....
Thanks in advance Masters
Fist thing, you need to do, is to root your device. To root your x10 mini pro, you have to install the latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware using SEUS or Sony Ericsson Pc Companion, then, download SuperOneClick from here and extract the archive. Don't forget to deactivate your antivirus, while using Super One Click.
1.Check that you have enabled USB debugging in settings->Applications-->Development. Than, just follow step by step video on the site, I gave you). This is a first step of "changing roms"
Hello Sr. !
im new to this forum.. im just interested to rooting my x10mini. ive been searching answer for these question but not found any. so, im end up to register in this forum just to make this clear to me.
The questions are:
1) If im root my x10mini, did my sms/text message in GoSMS Pro,stock sms and simcard; contact number in stock contact, simcard; notes in OnePunch notepad, stock notepad;calender's birthday dates in EboBirthday, stock calender; stock apps that installed when i bought like youtube,market,etc will be gone/deleted automatically exactly after rooted?
2)If the answer yes all will be deleted and my x10mini will be like empty with nothing install in it, how can i backup those sms,contacts,notes,birthday dates and stock apps so that after root i just can restore these things in the rooted x10mini?
3)If the answer no that root wont touch anything and it is just root only, which root application suite well with x10mini and after root did root application just like other application that i can open and set phone setting in setting menu?
Thanks to all Sr. in advance.. Im really really appreciated your help.. Im just too naive about this root things.. I want to root because i want the multi-touch function as well as the phone running much faster than usual.
Hi all, I got xperia p for my girl (I use sgs2), it is a great phone, but I would like to root it and get rid of those useless aplications. And possibly to put some rom to make longer life for battery. Rooted my sgs2 but it was long ago so if anyone has experience abd time to guide me via skype or something step by step to root xperia p I would be very thankfull.....
Your question belongs in the Q&A thread mate. And regarding root, you need to unlock the bootloader to root the P, for now. Why would you anyway want to root it when you aren't using it? Your girlfriend might find it harder to deal with the root issues then.
Whel to gain more battery as now you can't uninstall some of the useless applications that are running in the back. And I use it sometimes, the camera is amazing so.... I had no issues when I rooted my SGS2, it stayed the same, only you can remove useless apps by titanium backup... So I'm just looking for a good person to help.
As I said, there's no root now for the P for locked bootloaders. You need to unlock the bootloader. And try disabling some apps from Settings->Apps to improve performance.
Wow, I cant believe there is no way to root xperia..... I thought android is android.... Hmmmm... so there is no way to put another rom lets say ics or better gingerbread?
