Hi
I have rooted my X10 now and I wonder if there is anything cool stuff I can do now. Changing the UX or something like that.
Do you guys know anything I can do now as my phone is rooted?
Thank you.

can u pls explain wat u mean by rooting?
Thanks for answar.
Rooting is to have the administrative control on your phone.
You can control everything yourself.
Is it possible to get free apps on the phone that cost in the Market?
Like jailbreak you have installous.

I heard when you "root" your phone....you have complete control of it and you can set it so it makes you coffee in the morning....geez the things us non rooted users are missing out on

I've only got the Toast app, although it's a bit buggy, gives me jam when I want marmalade, I've emailed the developer but not heard back yet.

It's limitations of 1.6 you can have jam.... 2.1 brings marmalade lol

Ahh that's why, thanks for the heads up, I'll just stick with jam for the time being then, and that probably explains why the dog walker app only picks up the lead and sits at the door.

even with rooting, you can't up it to 2.2 anyway, because bootloader isn't cracked yet, correct?

AdFree .
Temp root has no use what so ever. The only useful thing I could think of is aid to find permanent root.
I just think that its not worth going through the trouble rooting this thing to have to do it again and again, etc.

its pretty easy with the 3 click root....
block ads with a new hosts file (love this)
vpn into your companies' ipsec network (assuming you have the group password)
wifi tether (you knew that already)
poke around in the file system, view/replace your wpa_supplicant.conf file with the old populated one from your G1 (oh wait, that's for me)

I get the whole its easy part but you are back at square one each time. Its fun to try but not something id enjoy doing every time the device had to be powered off.
I'm just saying I hope we get permanent root soon. But that's another topic.

What?!? I have read in several places that the EVO doesn't support "permanent" root.
First of all, technically what does that mean?
Second, what does it mean for a "lover of ROOTed EVOs" like my self??
Just a little confused and worried now...lol

Could you link some of the places that you heard this? The original unrevoked 1 was a on phone app that was not permanent. I think it might mean you can unroot if you choose to. Not sure though. There is defietally permanent root.
Well if it's not permanent it is sure lasting me a long time. Like 6 months now. How much longer do you think I have before my root runs out? Please answer this is very important.

Was that a joke? Can't tell
[email protected] guy...
I'm new to the whole rooting thing and I wasnt sure what it meant... I will try to find the places I read that... I know one was in the market for a one click root app... And when I saw that I googled it but couldn't find anything conclusive....ghats why I thought I would ask the experts here

hehe sorry. We absolutely have permanent root. Like The Dude said, the original unrevoked was not permanent but every method since has been permanent. I'm sure whatever you read was old and/or possibly misinterpreted. Rest assured, your root is permanent and will not run out any time soon
Cool... I didn't think it meant it would run out, but it tricked me into thinking that something could happen...

I think he's talking about z4root which isn't permanent with the Evo due to requiring Nand unlock.

I went to Android Market on my PC to find and download the official Groupon app to my Atrix. It's there, but when I select to install, on the list of phones my old Nexus One (listed as "Nexus One on AT&T") shows up as installable, but my current Atrix 4G is grayed out and won't install. I went to the Market on my Atrix, and the official Groupon app doesn't even show up there. Does anyone know if there is a reason why an app like Groupon would not be available for the Atrix? Thanks.
It shows up for me and works no problem. What rom are you rrunning?

I'm running the latest update 4.1.83, not rooted or anything yet. Thanks.
4.1.83 rooted and not in market. Same as op with website, shows Cap, Atrix greyed out. Are you sure your not mistaking the japan version for the us groupon? Android apps can be phone specific now.

You have the official Groupon app on an Atrix 4G? Is your phone rooted with a custom rom?
Sounds obvious, but (since it wasn't mentioned) have you tried installing from the Android market via the phone?

Hi. Yes, I did try installing it via market on my Atrix (I mentioned in my post that it didn't even show up there). Seems strange to me that an app like this would be phone specific. Thanks.

Thanks for posting it. Sorry to be a noob about this, but is this something that can only be installed on my Atrix if it's rooted? Thanks.

Yep, I usually pull the battery at least every other day just to clear any gremlins out of the system.
I don't think so Putter

You can try out "Triangle Away"
I don't remember if it changes device status to official, but I'm about 95% it does!

No, it just resets your flash counter, and I'm also pretty sure it makes the device status official.
But besides that, I don't know any other method
Does the temp unroot in supersu not work? If not I dont think there is anything you can do.
Ota root keeper get the apk from the playstore. Use the unroot function before opening NFL apk.

The revised apk works great!
Who would think with Verizon's name on the app that it would not like rooted phones. I am so happy that I dropped them last month and switched to Sprint. While the service is not up to Verizon's yet, not worrying about losing my unlimited data is awesome.

Lol, it was a bad attempt at blocking
I'm tempted to change the app to detect root again and have the banner say "Thank you for being rooted and fighting for the cause!", but still let you use the app
