I just rooted my phone because I wanted to use the Market Access fix. Did that and now I got all Market apps, but now what do I do with the root? Can someone tell me some cool stuff I can do with the root of my Xperia X10?
get rid of your carrier apps xD
Lol yeah that was the first thing I did.

Root is useless, what you need is bootloader hack to enable custom roms to be install onto x10 like Android 2.1 or 2.2.
But bootloader will never happen because no one can crack it. The way it going I say never. These devs guys are not good enough and I dont think they're knows what they are doing ... just try errors.
Live with your x10 or get a real device like HTC or Apple iphone4 I say.
Just so everyone know I am a collector and I got em all (hTc, apple iphone, samsung, nokia etc) but x10i is not the best IMO.

Well considering the security that's implemented on the phone It's no wonder they're having difficulties. These developers mostly do it for free as a hobby and have created many great ROMs for other phones. What contributions have you made before you start rubbishing them and tout for business?

Install where's my Droid or some app like it as a system app so if u lose you're phone it wont matter if someone swaps sims or does a factory reset. U can still track it.
Use droidwall to limit what accesses data.
If u need support for certain languages u need root.
Use custom fonts.
Change screen density
And the list goes on...
Im running chris41g(?)s modded stock, and I was wondering if there was a way that I could integrate the awesome adblocking of the big roms myself... messing with i GUESS putting together my own rom, and this is the one thing of all I am missing the most. I guess I am getting old, just want a simple rom theme-wise, but love the tweaks... anyone wanna help? Trade secret? If its something relatively simple like using 7zip and changing a value, or something to adb push, I can do it... just dont know what method you use, and would love to be able to just do it myself. Gonna hit up chris to throw it in his rom, but id like to do it myself too... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
You could include adfree app in the system/app location of the ROM. OR, you can use K0nane's method (which I am even unsure how it works.) ha

How would I go about that? sorry... should I just drag and drop this hosts file in /system... ? And how do I get the hosts file? Install the app and pull the file off the SD?
Thanks for the help... trying to learn to do some of this myself... course I get the motivation when I get a job after a year of unemployment... speaking of no job, anyone seen the new COD Zombies thing... ? freakin sweet
is the app itself good enough? I read an old thread complaining about it, but that was from early froyo... no angry birds ads???

Im surprised a launch 360 made it that long.. that was one tough xbox. Yeah i have an OG 60 gig (now 320 7200rpm) PS3, from right after the blu drives got fixed... people say I should expect the ylod soon, but Im insane about my gear, most of it is in a server rack. I really need to get back into fallout vegas though, if they made a fallout mmorpg that played like the real game, I would never leave the house.
Anyways, thanks for the time on the adblocking... will try soon...
I put a zip to include adblocking in the op of my rom... its better than adfee because it doesn't block words with friends lol

did you open ad free so it can request super user permissions and download the latest host file? Usually have to reboot once afterwards. Works fine for me.

though it is kinda annoying seeing the .. error loading page errors...
itd be pretty cool if someone would compile a real trimmed down apache or other webserver that only serves up a blank image when being accessed, have it only listen on localhost, and point everything back to localhost (i guess thats done already), to get blank spots, instead of 'error loading'
I like to share a thought with everyone, but specially with the programmers.
How come all rom’s for this Smartphone, that looks like a computer, don't include a simple File Explorer?
It’s so basic, isn’t it?
Perhaps next roms can include this simple but so usefull feature....
MIUI has a file explorer, the philosophy for the Oxygen ROM is to make it as light as possible, and from the void. OP : "I hate ROMs out there which impose you their applications, keyboard, launchers and any other trash. No, it's my belief we have market for some reason, so use it."
AFAIK the CM7 got a file explorer... I usually install a new file explorer (the one from Stockwell's B160) when I use other ROMs than MIUI
MIUI is the Rom I just flashed and the explorer in it has 3 option (Navigate/SD Card/FTP) well non of this work with me, e.g., can't see any files.
I don’t have external SD card but we should be able to "navigate" on the phone directories.
The other, I understand and respect the philosophy of keeping things as light as possible, but it’s a file explorer, how heavy could this be?
Tried to use the internal sd card, and I understand your problem. Hopefully there is a fix for this, because the MIUI file explorer is relly nice
MIUI is only nice for the eyes.

I don't really think that MIUI is that useless.. I just underclocked my phone a bit(just 'coz MIUIs default clock freq. is 1018 and I wanted to compare to stock(806)) and quadrant averaged around 2000, which is approximately 500 points higher than an average stock-ROM would have given me..
Well, all stock-ROMs are still froyo, so maybe that is the biggest boost in performance, but in my experience, MIUI with franco-kernel and zram is quite good.
AND it's nice to the eye!
Oh, and I was running minmax, not performance..

I must totally disagree with you there. I find Stockwell's MIUI very fast, even when not overclocked. And with Franco.kernel and zram it is blazing fast.. Maby you didn't try the ROM long enough. At first after you flash it, it stutters in the launcher etc. But i think it just needs to build up cache or something, then after 1-3 minutes it is fast!
Actually android have a file manager by default. I don't understand why the rom creators don't include it.
This thread is pretty much useless...Just use the freaking Market and download Astro or FS File Manager...Is that so hard??

Are you kidding me? In android, you can choose not the share your gmail account. I can understand you can trust google or you don't afraid anything from google. But this is people choices. You can at least respect their additude about that. Do you aware of the market don't work without gmail account? Maybe i don't want to use my any accounts on phone.
If you don't have a file manager, you can't install any application.
Well, this topic is not useless.

) You're gotta be joking... This is a funny one )
You're saying that you don't want to use the Market at all? If that's the case, than you've made a mistake buying an Android phone or any smartphone for that matter.
I don't mean to offend anybody, but there is nothing to respect here, this attitude is actually childish... If you've installed a custom ROM, then you should know how to install a File Manager from CWM and stop winging about something silly things.
What is the difference with using or without it? I just don't get it the why people forced to use market or data connection. Thats all. Even if the people can use CWM that is not mean they can make update package. I mean update-script .. bla bla.. Filemanager is just 689KB file. I don't get the point removing it.
Whatever. Seems like i can't make myself clear to you.

Market is meant to help you, nobody is forcing you to use it, but if it's there and it's free, why not use it?
I believe there are some licensing issues, as most application developers are not happy when their app is distributed with custom Roms (if the file manager is free, the app developer gets paid through the number of downloads each day and if everybody stops downloading, then developers are not going to be happy). That's why CM7 doesn't have the Google Market and other Roms are missing apps...
pls stop commenting on other people's preferences..
if u think a particular request is childish/stupid/useless/whatever, just ignore the whole thread!
whats the point of teasing/offending other's request and giving no help at all?
to prove that u r superior or what?!
this is indeed childish imho..
pls just stop dis-helping here.. please!
if you want/need a file manager why dont you download the apk of one and put it inside the zip of the rom? that way it will be there when it gets installed.

I've explained why there is no File Manager (in Oxygen and CM7) and how to get get/install it...if this is "dis-helping" then you've big issues...
The point is: don't expect Developers to hold your hand with every everything you want to install on a CUSTOM rom, they've got better things to do.

Are you sure about that ? CM7 have it in official packages.
We are not kids. Watch your words. And i'm talking to rom developers not you anymore. If they have better things to do, they can talk and reject to make this you know?

u got me totally wrong (just as u usually did in other posts as well)..
i dont need a file explorer in this rom (or whatever rom).. i like to keep roms minimal and thats why i choose oxygen..
what im saying is that even if u and i dont need this, it doesnt mean those who want it childish..
and if the developers think this request is not to be entertained, its their decision..
what on earth gives u the authority to judge other's requests, and make comments such as "childish"?
this is what im against..
(anyway i dont know if u can read or comprehend others words properly..)

I cant help it if your unable to read the description of a app before buying it
All you needed to do is ask for help...
If your going to learn anything while your here,
Ask for help if you need it and be respectful to developers...I would have happily helped you with starting to code apps but well not going to happen now

It's all the extra apps that Samsung has got in there, plus all the extra ringtones, wallpapers, etc.
You can do a few things (all of which require rooting the phone).
The fastest and best method (IMO) would be to install a custom ROM and remove the bloatware that way. Look at Omega ROM
Alternatively, you can do it yourself using root explorer and apps like Root App Delete.
Or use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468596
Use any of these methods at your own risk. The first one is the safest and easiest.
Forget it, Samsung has "reserved" a certain amount of space, approx 7gb, for the system files whether its used or not.
You can't change it in any way unless you want to play around with the partition table - pit file... This is an extremely BAD idea...

Thats right my friend I noticed exactly that but the taskmanager that samsung provides is bloatware?
Really omg I just cant believe what they are selling
Is there any way to remove completely the whole system memory and replace it with the google stock android while also being able to update the phone normaly.
If there isnt then im just going to swap it for an iphone 5 I made arrangements.
I dont trust all the moded firmware on this forum or anywhere else so is there any genuine 100% firmware from google stock android that I could use
Thank you
You could check out the developement part of the forum for a google rom.
There is no problem with most of what's done here as long as you read and are sure to follow the steps to flash. Most problems are people, and its not just noobs, jumping ahead and stuffing things up...
