With my Sony Ericsson x10 mini pro i want to do this...
- Delete all the forced installed programs like roller-coaster 0.0 time scape, ca gold rush, geotags, google main, latitude, maps, neo reader, peggle, places, playnow, road sync, setup guide, talk, track id, wise piolet etc... you get the general idea they loaded this lovely light and portable mobile with a loada crap ill never use i just prefare my emulators and Sims 3 HD tbh and all that is working perfect tbh i couldn't believe sims 3 3d worked on it its just a lovely small android phone.
- load apps from my memory card
- Possibly unlock the mobile to all networks
- OVER CLOCK 1GHZ would be nice ( nice to know is it battery rapes / makes phone unstable if it is possible also )
- One more thing i installed something called GDE i think its called to make my android theme look better but is their an easier way to make the phone look more like other android phones?? because flicking between apps is so slow and annoying with the normal screen but with this GDE thingy i installed it seems a lot easier and less laggy.
I know rooting is the first step but how exactly and what exactly am i looking to do after this to begin the first steps to doing this...
I'm not completely computer illiterate so just point me in the right direction and I'm sure ill be able to figure it out from there any help is appreciated thanks.
another developer question, if i wanted to make my own custom modifications exactly where should i be looking into starting doing this I only know basic C# atm so just wondered
Btw if you did read all this sorry for blagging on appreciated a lot.
thanks guys.
First root your phone - plenty of info about how to do that in the forum
Easiest way to remove pre-installed apps is to install titanium backup from the market and uninstall via that - There are others, but I have used Titanium since it was first released and imo it is spot on. This needs root. Be careful what you remove there are alot of "apps" that are vital for the phone to run properly etc. getting rid of the games/general bundled apps is fine though.
Load apps from sd card - you need apps2sd once you have rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574&highlight=apps2sd
Unlocking - get an unlock code from your operatoror from a third party website if you can find one
Overclocking to 1ghz - you would melt your phone probably. The processor runs at 600mhz stock - a 400mhz overclock would be unstable and dangerous to say the least. Until the kernel sources are released/hacked this isn't going to happen anyway - I haven't seen this done on the X10 mini/pro yet.
If you want your phone to look more like other android devices, try a different launcher - Launcherpro is my recommendation - I have used many and for me this is my favourite.
Android apps are written in java. Android code is based around linux.
google/read/search this forum, but also search other handset forums, as you'll find much more activity there.

Thanks, but on my nokia N900 i overclocked that permanently to 1.2GHZ and it didn't even heat up tbh i think it should be safe if you did its just about stability at 1.2ghz it used to error ( rarely ) but at 1ghz it worked perfectly and the phone without being overclocked was 600mhz well that's with the N900 anyway but with Mobile technology overclocking isnt soo bad normally for the heat side of things.
Never the less thanks for the Info.
Is launcher pro like the GDE thing I have or will that like permanently replace my home screen?
Hi guys, came from iphone 5 and before i had galaxy S3 and now galaxy S6 international. Rooted my sm-920f using pingpong. Everything was smooth and went as expected.
SuperSU seems to be working properly. I can access system files copy paste and edit them. CPU controlling apps seems to be working normally. When i set the min and max for each core it works accordingly for the 1500 mhz and the 2100 mhz cores. Yet i cannot find values in memory when trying to edit games' values. Yes i can edit a memory location but i cannot find my values. No matter what i use. Gamegardian seh or cheat engine. I cannot find games data im looking for to modify. I always start getting results but they get reduces to zero. Im useing cheat engine on pc and gamegardian and seh on other smart phones for years. So its not that i dont know how to search. Even the unknown initial with changed and unchanged get to zero before im even close to get a short list of memory locations. What i know from my experience with S3 this is not a full root. Because once i had this with S3 and i had to use another rooting program back then to fix it. The thing is i dont want to trigger the knox counter. So any chance that someone knows a fix for this
EE are giving these cheap tablets free with budget phone contracts.
This is indeed a budget tablet, the resolution is at its lowest, and its running a modified version of KitKat.
I've managed to root with King Root, also managed to install Xposed just fine, the next problem I have is finding useful repositories .... Many don't work, I'd like to be able to get rid of the DPI tracking that Google uses on its playnstore. I tried a app in Xposed that didn't work. The funny thing is, after being told Google News and Weather is incompatible with my device , I went to APK Mirror to install and there was no qualms whatsoever.
If anyone could help me in any way possible. To get the most out of the device. Again it would great and well appreciated!
Ive also tried MonsyerTouch UI. Which crashed the device.
Thanks in advance.
try these apps

Disable service may help get rid of the DPI tracking and L speed will certainly boost its performance and battery life.
Hi guys. I have a cheap no name generic android tablet with android 4.4.2 kitkat.I modded the firmware with dragonface and added some su files and binaries. I also updated busybox to the lastest version. It is a cheap amazon tablet. I would like to know how to make it faster. Ex. Ram, speed. Etc
I have tried different ram swapping apps but I dont think they are working.I also went into developers options and turn off the transition scales and various settings and set the backgroud limit to at most 2 processes.I dont see much if a difference in speed either. The tablet is rooted with kingroot.So my question is how can I speed it up. Or how can i get the root swap apps to work.So far I have tried a cpu control app that lets you change the cpu frequency but it doesnt work to well.Can i get a root swap app to work on my device or is there a app to speed up this cheap tablet? Thanks for the help and sorry if this post was so long.Am also sorry if this is a stupid question. ?
Sorry i meant kitkat
