Hi guys
I got my X10 Black on saturday , Very excited ... and i can surely say that this is the best phone SE has given us since k750... Its been a happy 6 years with SE and i dont regret for being a fan for all these days.. and now X10... man .. What a phone....
anyway coming to the issue
I am from India , but i got a singapore handset .. and its R2BA020 GENERIC
when i go to the service menu it says country Singapore , Brand : Singtel
I want to change it to the latest firmware without crapwares like moxifier and also want generic india , as i think se is rolling updates faster in india... correct me if i am wrong..
I also want to root since i want to remove certain apps alone .. mediascape and timescape are awesome and defualt mediaplayer is good...(looks are killer )
anway how to get a rooted generic latest firmware on my phone ?
also here are other few question ...
1.) can i make folder and arrange the menu icons .. since such a huge list looks like dustbin , i just wana arrange them and put the little apps like battery widget which is listed in my menu innto a folder , this way only the main apps are in the menu list and also put all the games into a folder..
2.) is there a way to change the background of the menu screen into some wallpaper or someother color , DARK BLUE IS horrible... and sometimes it goes into black
3.) tell me few tips to imprive battery , already runing juicedefender , helixlauncher , and put screen brightness to auto .. tell me few other tips..
4.) when i long press the menu button , it shows few apps , are they running apps or what ? and how to stop a app ? i am currently using Astro`s running process killer... but tell me few other methods to stop apps , and how to stop apps which doesnt have a exit button ?
5.) how to activate proximity sensor ?
6.) is there a way to replace the whole defualt lock screen into someother found in market ?
7.) the dialpad of x10 is awesome .. but there is no speed dial , is there a way to retain the layout of the default dialpad of SE and add speed dial some found in market ?
8.) tell me easy way to make call .. currently i have to go to contacts , serach , and press few times to make a call ... is there any other alternative ?
9.) will uninstalling apps remove the folder they create in my SD card ? coz SD card folder arrangement makes my head spin , prev , on my w995 they card folder were neatly arranged..
10.) is there a way to share my dialup connection on my laptop to the phone via wifi ? is that called tethering ? help me on this ...
11.) which and all defualt process are safe to close .. ? and really help in reducoing battery consumption ..?
12.) any easy way to switch data /gprs connection on / off ? i have juice defender , but cant understand ....
thanks in advance ...
guys anyone ?
1)No you cant make folders. The menu cant be changed. Its a deficiency which needs to be improved.
2) No, unless you use some launcher like ADW where you can apply themes and change the menu color.
3) For batter life i suggest to change to ADW launcher. I find it better than helix. Also use Advanced task killer.juice defender uses a lot of battery. Remove the timescape widget from your homesreen and undo the refresh automatically option.
4)Use advanced task killer. The apps you see the 6 most recently used apps.
5) proximity sensor gets activated when you are on a call.
6) Of course you can. There are a few. Dunno the names, i use the stock.
7) No idea. I suggest you port the numbers to fav and dial from there. Long press a contact and call.
8)Well port the most used contacts to favorites and long press to call.
9)No data stored in the SD card has to be removed manually.
10) Root your phone and use an app called Barnacle Wifi tethering. Works great.
11)All apps are safe.
12)Download Weather and toggle widgets. You shall get everything there. Or just download a widget from the market.
P.s. Its me dreamcatcher.
i) Use a home screen replacement like Adw and treat each screen as a folder. That's hat I do.
ii) Once again, get ADW.
iii) I will post something regarding this on my blog soon. WIll tweet you the link, after it's done. But for now the just is get setCPU and throttle your processor intelligently.
iv) In generaly you don't need to bother yourself w/ background apps in Android, but you can use any one of the dozens of apps available. You can also use Autokiller.
v) You don't need to bother yourself with it. It happens automatically.
vi) Yes. Search this forum for some names.
vii) There is no speed dial, but there are favourites.
viii) Favs once again.
ix) No.
x) Install connectify, create a hotspot and use connect ot it from your phone.
xi) What app are you planning on using? If its something like Advanced Task Killer, everything is safe.
xii) Juiced Defender, APN settings. But, I found it to be creating problems for me.
sorry for late reply.. with hooked with Rachael , she is soooo awesome..
thank u guys for thee reply. ..
but the main question is still unanswered.. mine is singapore generic...
I am from India , but i got a singapore handset .. and its R2BA020 GENERIC

One more thing .. is there a way to extract the profile pics from facebook and integrate into contacts.. there is way to link the contacts to facebook/twitter profiles in timescape .. but y doesnt it take the profile pic and atacch it to the contacts ?
and also is there a way to make the volume button .. long press to skip the song ? we used to have in older SE na...
Not sure about the firmwire thing. Regarding contacts, just use Phonebook 2.0.
Facebook Sync imports facebook profile pics to your phonebook.
I also recommend Gesture Search. You can set it to only show results from the phonebook and then you just press the green phone-icon to the left to dial up.
thnk 4 reply.. will try it... and report back

feedback!!
heres all the things i noticed:
-when i get out of the start menu to home screen....it keeps showing the previous page.....i guess thats because of the lack of titanium.
-please add showcase, since theres no task manager lots of programs remain open and the phone becomes slow in a few minutes.
-bluetooth OK
-wifi OK
-When IE starts it says cannot open blank page....but then works fine.
-When i get an incoming call, i cannot see the name or the number of the person calling.
-When i make an outgoing call theres a scroll bar on the right...for which i see no purpose.
Hope this helps.....what you've done looks good....hope you can figure out solutions for the problems i mentioned......thanks again.....

I just saw those details, but I like that is clean, with nothing changed, looks like a rom drawn from Microsoft, and that is what we all
my feedback
download size is 39.42 which is 7z compressed.
i am downloading it now...will give my feedback soon.
congrats on your release, jagan!!!
Feedback==================
Bugs
#1: Vibrate not working. Phone does not vibrate when set to vibrate mode.
#2: In the Lockscreen, you have to tap 'Unlock' twice to really unlock.
#3: After running some programs (ex. PPC PimBackup) the phone becomes very slow. I checked the processes using FcdSoft Task Manager v3.1 and found one of the process 'cprog.exe' was consuming about 60% - 80% of the CPU resource. I 'killed' it and it becomes okay again...
#4: In USB-to-PC pop-up, there is no 'Storage Device'!!! just ActivSync and Internet Sharing.
Suggestion:
#1: will it be okay if you remove 'Microsoft My Phone'
#2: and what about removing 'Marketplace' too?? I don't think many people uses it. If they want they can install it, right??
more to come soon...
Some more changes

3. Phone option please specify.
4. Windows default not working coz the rom dont have titanium
@All: Whoever participating in this beta testing please feel free to explore your devices and report here, all will be fixed tonight.

Another imp thing: Someone confirm if the SMS bug fixed and working properly?

Hi Bro,
1. Volume button started working after few restarts.
2. Agreed with Windows Default
3. Phone option generally has "Vibrate when call connect"
Just one funny thing....when the device is locked you can very well click on "Start" then nothing gets clicked....
Please fix the display problem when person calls its not displaying the name...
rest all is fine...

For showcase you have to first go to home screen then it opens whereas arksoft can be accessed from any screen, so my vote goes to arkswitch let see what others say.
btw complete rom will be up in few hours or may be more than few hours.

Been using the phone for a while now, and i love it! But, there's "few" issues...
1. How can i remove factory installed softwares ? There's that crappy tetris, some swefish new's feeder, uter crap medai scape that makes me want to hang my self whit the USB cable etc etc. And if i install some software that "overcomes" some default software (origin browser -> skyfire) i would like to remove the original one, to make my menu view bit simplier...
The 3rd party programs can be removed by the aplication manager, but not the pre installed...
2. THEMES!? I rly rly cant belive that there aint no real themes out there for this phone (no, ahome etc. aint option, feels bit dumb for me to run 3rd party GUI ontop the factory GUI) And i dont think im the only one who would pee hunny for getting full black theme on the phone...
3. Taskmanager / APP killing. How its suposed to end softwares in this phone ?! the backbutton takes way too many presses, example in skyfire you need to hit it like 100+ times before you get back to home screen, press the home button, and it "minimizes" it.
i would thode that there would be some OEM taskman like "press home once -> minimize, hold it down in app -> killing the app" in home screen holding it would open the task list... got 3rd party taskman atm, but they fount feel like that they "fit in"
4. The earpeace volume, it way way too low... When you go to the service menu, and thest the earpeace the volume in there is 10x louder then during the call ?! my old c900 had louder earpeace at it's minium then this at max... This is nasty issue since im half deaf (damn bolt gun )
5. How can i change Moxier calender's week view to "work week" ? Now it shows Monday 00.00 to Sunday 00.00, and i would want it only to show Monday 8.00 to Friday 16.00
There's for starters
1. you can't
2. a theme app is being under contruction from SE and will come with an update iirc
3. i use task killer and works OK but i admit, it's quite stoopid...
4. i don't know,i don't have any problems with that, my music volume is very loud on my earphones and i keep it at about 70% for normal listening
5. don't know

1) Unfortunate right now we cant. We cant do anything until the phone is rooted.
2) I think that now besides the 3rd party apps You cant change a whole appearance of how does teh UI looks. Im not sure, its my first And phone, someone else would need to confirm it.

the headphones are loud enough, so is the speaker, but the earpeace for normal calls sounds bit low....
its my first android phone, tho got some xp from the WM ppc's, by rooting you mean what? cracking the lock to put the phone on flash mode, and being able to throw in 3rd party cooked ROM?
Hi XDA,
Time for part 2.
1.2G/3g/Wifi/Packet data/GPS
I allways use 2G.Reason.In my country 3G network is expensive and still in first steps.It`s not covered in all part of the country so i preffer 2g.On gingerbread with JVO modem battery is drain faster.I speak alot and use alot of sms.
I use Wifi alot.Home,work,everywhere where i can connect.I used for surfing,wheather forecast,youtube,market download,xda.I notice on gingerbread that battery on wifi is draining faster butt nevermind.On froyo i didn`t notice this.
I use packet data(mostly edge)rarely only when i really need to do something that is urgent.
I haven`t had any problem with GPS.I use IGO for navigation.I don`t use anything from google navigation.I use gmail for mail.
2.Phone setup
I use brightness as low as possible(5%).Only when i`m outside i increase brightness than i revert back.
I use option Some animation specialy now with Juwe rom(CRT off,animation,etc.)
I don`t use Auto-sync in accounts and sync.I can do it manualy for me it`s better.
I don`t use option backup my data in Privacy.I backup my contacts to sd card(export vcf file),and applications are backed up with appmonster.I preffer old style backup where i have apk files and if i flash my phone i install it again.
I don`t use to many widgets.Samsung digital clock,Go weather,elixir for sistem info,Tap Tap for locking,Audio guru for audio,lookout and some picture frame.
I don`t use live wallpappers.I have around 50 apps installed on my phone.I allways read review about apps.
I have a task killer butt i don`t use autotaskkill.If need i kill apps manualy.
Once in a week i reboot my phone.I learned on windows and linux that this is not a bad thing
I charge my phone when battery drops around 20%.With this setup i can use my phone for 3 days that`s for shure.
And that`s about it.
Thanks for pattience while reading
and how much do u speak and play games?
It depends.At least half hour or sometime one our.I like angry birds(all variants)i play it with my daughter every day
Hi All,
My i9505 is on the most recent BTU firmware, yet I've had an issue for a number of weeks where the phone seems to have a period of insane lag for like 1-5 seconds most evident on the keypad where typing can freeze and then in a burst after the lag 'unpauses' everything I typed comes through. On video this is also prevalent where the sound continues fine but the video freezes then will resume after a few seconds.
Anyone had a similar issue? I've tried clearing the cache in the bootloader to no avail.
So I thought maybe a full phone restore might fix the problem. However the most recent Kies 3. Wont back up correctly and seems to hang on certain items to back up, it's currently been backing up alarm settings for 20minutes now. Is there an alternative way to back up and preserve these things or do I bite the bullet?
Are u using STOCK Kernel or Custom?

Maybe the problem is in Apex Launcher.
1. Go to Apps - Settings - More - Application Manager
2. First tab (Downloads)
3. Click in Apex Launcher
4. U will see a button called "Clean cache" (sometimes is necessary "clean data button" too, but this is only if "clean cache" no is enough)
5. Click it and reboot ur phone
6. I hope it works
I will try this.
Any idea regarding the Kies back up not working well?
EDIT:
Still having issues, just again doing something like swiping down to show notifications has a delay

- Press button HOME for 2 seconds
- Will appears black window with 3 buttons down
- Select the "cheese"
- Tab RAM
- Tell me how many memory is taking ur phone (mine is 660 MB/1,78 GB)
- U can press the button CLEAN MEMORY
- U can do this sometimes
- Ur phone will be flying now

My ram manager tells me that i'm using 1.07gb out of 1.78. I hit clear and it's dropped. However I thought android functioned better with more RAM usage due to how it's coded
Cleared:
Lag still remains.
Could it possibly be a virus? Don't think many are coded for android but worth ruling out?

No. Be relaxed. I see u are using all MEMORY RAM for ur APPS. The unique u can do is lock the STOCK apps (Samsung apps) u dont use:
1. Go to Apps - Settings - More - Aplication Manager
2. Go to last tab (ALL)
3. There u will have all APPS
4. Select one by one (only the ones u dont use)
5. Click in button disable
6. If u need reactive them again in the future... u can ofc
Other thing interesting for make ur phone fluid is this one. Take a look this video -> HERE

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS ANDROID 7 ON Z3+.
Advantages..
1. Battery is lasting more than MM.
2. Stamina mode comes with 3 level stamina features.
3. Split Screen Apps are awesome.
4. Heating is less, I think they avhieved that by closing the background apps.
5.Camera app doesnt heatup the phone and lasts open till 5 min( I checked for 5 minutes only may be it ll show heating warning after that, I just dont know about it).
6. Now both the wallpaper and lockscreen can be handled easily with the same option WALLPAPER provided at SETTING app.
Disadvantages.
1. The Icons for the apps CONTACTS, MESSAGING, PHONE, CAMERA are so ugly.
2. One cannot go to the homepage by clicking recent navbar and then by clicking at the clear space of the recent apps menu.
3. While phone is locked the phone doesnt react to double tap unlock like it used to be in MM.
4. While the phone is locked the Icons of battery, network, clock etc are placed slightly lower than the Icons placed in the unlocked screen. LOCKING UNLOCKING CREATES AN UGLY LOOK OF MISPLACEMENT OF THESE ICONS.
5. The Battery icon in the status bar is too weird. ( Doesnt like it look).
6. The Data traffic indicator ( the small arrows up and down are way too small, the indicator which shows below 2g, 3g, H+ and LTE on the status bar)
7. They removed the option of selecting the FOCUS MODE in the camera app.
8. I compared the pictures taken by my phone when its in LP, MM AND N, I must say in LP this phone used to capture photos brilliantly, in MM the pics are somewhat lower than LP. But in N the pics quality are not upto marks. I think thats all because of this focus thing. Now the phone focus the way it wants to).
9. Remove/ Quit apps wisely, I am downloading some apps from UC BROWSER and then I exit the app and keep the downloading in the background but when I cleared the app from the recent apps list just to make my recent app section to look empty, it stopped my downloading too and the APP UC BROWSER was completely shut. (This option is in LP TOO BUT NOT IN MM) So close apps wisely.
11. They abandoned the small apps, Yes they are there but not easily accessible, now accessing small apps are quit pain in the ASS.
12. The apps in the Recent apps looks very big.
13. New quick tiles are good but one cannot direct shut data from there.
Thats all dear Fellas, I like the UI OF MM more than this N.
I THINK SONY JUST BAKED THIS N FOR US IN HURRY.
If I missed anything than please guys you can add that on your comments.
I really think the Android N update is very good for this device. Camera quality has improved in N - try some low light shots - noise is much lower. The UI is very fluid.
For my device not update notice for now...but I see that in Russia update is out in these days...
So, for now I can't comment about N on my Z3+...but thank you very much for this thread...I hope more users tell opinions about this new update...
I would like to learn more about:
- camera is more fast or not, compared to MM? About picture quality seems the two different opinions are contrary..so, other user opinion about camera?
- N as it looks in terms of reactivity on our device?
- Audio? From speakers and in headset? There are some new optimizations or similar?
Thanks in advance to all

Using Nougat Indian Firmware
Advantages-
1. Camera quality is better
2. Split screen
3. Smooth Ui
4. Performance Enhancment
5. Battery backup improved
6. Brightness dim Issue in sunlight is fixed upto great extent
7. Heating issue is much more solved
Disadvantages ( Huge list but Listing major one)
1. Touch issue (Lackness in touch sensitivity)
2. No manual Focus in Camera Menu
3. Sound Quality reduced (Vibrations in back panel)
4. Can't download apps frome playstore in Roaming.
5. Now we have to double tap to activate data from notification bar
So, its better to push updates for fixing these problems. I hope sony would release updates.
Number 4 and 5 from @ag_themes list are customisation dependent. Both are not present in Russian Nougat that also was on servers before withdrawal.
Also I don't have any touch issues. The sound problems mentioned are the main reason of update withdrawal.
Btw. No overheating is probably connected with reduced usage of a57 cores. Nougat uses them rarely comparing to marshmallow (some report says they are disabled in nougat).
Can someone upload Russian fw? I want to flash it
Using Android Nougat on India Version
Split Screen is advantage (but not many app support however you can force them to)
Slightly more responsive ( like 5 percent)
camera is same (with an added option in manual mode)
audio is also similar
i feel battery consumption when device is used is same ( maybe doze helps when phone is in sleep but i didnt notice much improvement)
My device hanged once (in youtube app). Restarted itself after 5 mins.
Indirect access to small apps ( i never really used them)
{
Other things such as detailed (two taps to toggle) mobile data , wifi and bluetooth. Displays important things on settings , NOtification quick reply these are android N features sony didnt mess with
}
I feel its an simple upgrade of API . Everything else is similar to MM.
HELP

Is your phone is ringing on calls? Mine doesnt ringing from the day I updated to nougat.
Yes it is.
Make sure you have applied a ringtone and its not in Do Not Disturb mode.

HELLO PRASHAD, I HEARD YOU GET ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BL? Some guy is spreading that news. Is it true?

Nope, not true. With out bootloader unlock, it is impossible to root the device.
IOVYROOT will get temp root access to backup the TA Partition, but after reboot, the device loses the root access. It is only for taking backup, you can not modify the system. If you try to modify the system with temp root access, your device will be dead after reboot.
