List Of X10 Questions - XPERIA X10 General

Xperia X10a
ADW Launcher
Answer some if theres too many questions
[SOLVED] 1) Is there another more complete skin for the ADW dialer? Dialpad, Contacts, etc are all dark themed but once I do any of these it goes back to default blue theme
-Call a number
-View a contact
-End call
2) Which app will allow me to disable the slide to unlock screen and make it so that the power button will unlock screen? I tried NoLock as suggested on another thread but the lock screen activates at random times like other people said.
[SOLVED] 3) Is there a way to completely hide the notification bar? Cause my theme is blackish but the bar is blue (I made another thread asking how to skin the bar). I hid the bar from desktop with ADW but its only hidden on the desktop. Can I permantly hide it with other apps?
4) Im using the Droid X ADW Theme. How do I change the icons (Both drawer and desktop) with either editing the theme or using another app. And where are the ADW themes stored?
5) Is it possible to make the ADW Drawer a slide out? I know theres an option to set slide up/down fuctions but I want a draggable drawer.
6) Display is using way too much battery? It says its using 70% when the brightness is only like 30% of the brightness bar.
[SOLVED] 7) How do I remove stock apps like the default calculator, TrackID, etc? I tried using adb uninstall /system/app/*file*.apk but it says "Failure"
Ill add/remove questions as I find problems/solutions.
Thanks!

I've just installed this and very impressed with it - forum.xda-developers.com, phonebook, messaging ect all remains black.

You can modify the bar so it's black, I've also just done that, but not sure how you would hide it completely.

But that is only for rooted ones, isn't it?

Ugh, more framework-res files. Its the same file with the notification bar files. The problem is I dont have ADB but my phone is rooted. Can I get that on my phone somehow?

Adb doesn't go on your phone. It goes on your PC. You use your PC to move framework files to your phone.

Oh so how do I get it on my PC? I have W7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Thanks!
EDIT
Trying to get the phone to be read on the Android SDK and AVD Manager. It wont work? Anyone have the steps from downloading the "android-sdk_r06-windows" to getting ADB to work? I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719

It's pretty simple, I too am on Win 7 x64.

Right click on My Computer and click properties
Select the Advanced Tab or Advanced System Setting (Vista/Windows 7)
Select Environment Variables...
Press New
For Variable Name type: adb
For Variable Value type: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Now, [Get new sdk (1.5r3) to work]
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparing your phone for ADB
Go to Settings on your phone
Select Applications
Select Development
Make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Drivers
Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job
For Android SDK 1.5r3+
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
3. Select all options and let it download and install
If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)

Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)
Type in
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line
Now you are all set to run adb commands
Note: for a list of commands type in 'adb' in cmd
CONGRATS YOU NOW HAVE ADB FULLY RUNNING!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"
Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.
Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.
First download USBDeview - Here
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Follow the steps above to install the drivers
Thats it for ADB! Congrats and if you have any questions please ask me or if anything is missing or not correct please tell me. I got all of this from research and personal experience.

NVM I used the actual ADB cmd and it worked. However, I am having trouble replacing the Phonebook.apk. I pulled the default Phonebook.apk out and now im stuck. Any help?
Also, does anyone know a framework-res file with a darkish/transparent notification bar?
Thanks!

I just pushed the new one over, however you do need to switch to the default dialler to see the change, and if you have trouble making calls like I did, go into manage applications, and clear the cache and or remove updates from the dialler and phonebook.

Edit your own, I use winrar, but don't close the archive, open it and extract the right file - statusbar_background.png - from drawable-land-240dpi, colour it, copy and paste it back into the winrar archive.

The phone says it is using 70% because the display uses the most energy at that moment. But 70% doesn't mean it is using much battery. It doesn't mean it is draining your battery. It only indicates how much more it uses compared to other things. It's normal and you can't do anything about it.

The problem is even after an hour of Asphalt 5 the display took 62% vs Asphalt which took 22%. However, I understand that all actions on the phone including Asphalt require the display so it will use up alot of energy. Was just hoping there was a way to decrease the battery usage.

Installing 3rd Party Apps

Here is how to install 3rd party applications. I'm not going to go into detail for every step so a little more research may be required if you don't understand all the terms. Search around, it's how I learned.
1. Download and extract the Android SDK. Once it is extracted copy it to the root of your C drive and to make your life easier rename it to sdk. So in the end it should be C:\sdk.
2. Download and install HTC Sync.
3. After the install of HTC Sync is complete connect your phone to the computer and select the HTC Sync option for the connection type on your phone. It doesn't matter if it fails to connect or gives you any error. When I did it the phone told me it couldn't find HTC Sync on my PC but I just hit OK and moved on.
5. Copy whatever 3rd party apps you are looking to install to the tools folder. (C:\sdk\tools). DO NOT rename the files, I had problems after doing that.
6. Open up a command prompt on your PC (In windows it's start, run, cmd) and change to the tools directory.
cd\
cd sdk\tools
After you change to that directory the prompt should say: c:\sdk\tools.
7. Type adb devices to verify that your computer can see the phone. If everything is working you should get a response that looks something like this:
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxx device
8. Once you verify that the computer and phone are connected type the following:
adb install nameofapp.apk (obviously changing the nameofapp part to whatever the file is named).
You should see it copy the app then install and at the end it will say successful. All done!
Feel free to add to this if I missed anything....

Thanks KB for the update, an easy workaround that I don't mind performing at all. Now if only we can remove those pesky AT&T bloatware they slapped on it, and get a nice Root going, we'll be in business!
Heck, I'd be willing to buy an extra Aria for someone around here if they could get a quick root/2.2 update going for this thing.
trying to install swype on my aria. please help
hello, please help with step 6. i dont know what i need to do. can some one please reply really quick. all i need is to do is install swype. how do i find swype anyways

Step 6 may seem a little unwieldy, but here is a trick I learned.
1) Create a shortcut for CMD.exe on your desktop.
2) Right click the CMD.exe shortcut and go to Properties.
3) In the Start in: bar, type in the directory for the android SDK tools folder you put on your computer. For example, my start in address is:
Code:
"I:\HTC Hero\android-sdk-windows\tools"
Now everytime you open this CMD.exe shortcut, it will start in the correct folder to perform adb commands.
As far as Swype goes, you can get an e-mail for the installer through here.
I did run into a problem, since Swype will not install correctly because it needs to download and apply another .apk, which AT&T's blocks will not allow. Swype really isn't important enough to me to get it otherwise, as I'm happy installing the other apps I've been missing out on.
Hope that helps!

I'm sorry I can't be more technical, but I use an easier way to install 3rd party apps, even multiple installs at once. Everything above is the same except AFTER step 3.. go to http://de.codeplex.com/ and download droidexplorer, once you have it, connect your phone to the pc, execute droidexplorer (droid explorer can take up to 2 mins (or maybe longer) to load so be patient), select drop down menu tools either addons (-batch install) to install multiple apps.. or Manage Packages to install single app. There are lots of other functions using droidexplorer but I think most of them need the device to be root.
(it's been a while since I first installed droidexplorer, so I'm not 100% certain if I even needed the android sdk, but HTC SYNC is definitely needed, if someone wants to give it a shot without installing android sdk to verify, that would be great, let me know and I'll fix up this post.)
THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED TO WORK ON THE STOCK ATT ARIA by myself, as I just purchased the aria on sunday and already installed over 30 apps.
hope this helps someone.. post any replies if you need help, I'll try to help in any way I can.
thanks for the instructions KB. Getting my aria soon and can't wait to ditch the iPhone

I'd suspect you would need root access and then you could simply use shell rm /system/app/attbull****.apk
Yup....Same thing I did with my Incredible..

To elaborate. did "install adb swype-installer.apk" Got the success message. Tried to run swype installer on my phone and it got blocked as a third party app.
So, you can just use the Incredible root and it'll work for the Aria?

No no, he was saying he was able to remove the Verizon bloatware from his Incredible after rooting the phone. DO NOT use the Incredible method for rooting on your Aria, as you will possibly brick your phone.

Are you sure you have the right apk? If you got success it should already be installed. Check it by going to settings then language and keyboard. You should see Swype as an option.

yep did "adb install swype-installer.apk" Got the "success" - nothing there. The swype installer is now on my phone. Click on it, log in to it, click download - third party deny message.
Also there's no swype on my phone in the downloads, only the swype installer. I figured I might have to do the same thing for the swype installer and swype, but the file isn't there. What exactly does running "install swype-installer.apk" accomplish? I figured it would allow me to download the actual Swype program, and not just the installer.
Tried again in CMD "Install_failed_already_exists"

I tried this too. Apparently Swype-installer.apk is an Android program for you to download and install the REAL Swype software. I was able to install the swype-installer but the next step fail since it's trying to install Swype directly. Does any have the actual swype apk file? Do you know where I can find it?

"HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal" You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy
Any chance someone wants to actually put this on the wiki?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Droid_Incredible
There is a ROM section in there and would be a much better location than in a forum post.
What do you guys think?

hi
I am running SkyRaider 3.0 Sense RC3 but I have been unsuccessful in updating the radio. I've tried HBOOT but it doesn't like the image, tried renaming to update.zip, tried running the zip from Recovery.
Please advise.
thanks

Hello,
I would like to know what is "HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal". Is this some kind of feature?
I would like to disable the PIN Lock on my phone that is enforced by my companies security policy. I used to use LockPicker on Android 2.1 but that no longer works. Is there another solution for Android 2.2?
Thanks.
Nevermind I found it. You should add this to the FAQ. You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy (forgot the actual name since after I removed it, the option is no longer there)
Im having a couple of problems
1) I cant get my Yahoo mail account to set up, I have installed the Mail Mod from ROM manager.
2) I am trying to install an application from the market and i am getting the error saying I dont have enough space to install. I really dont have many apps so i dont think thats accurate. I have cleared the market's cache, data, and restarted the application, problem still persists.
Thanks for the help

Check to see how many saved backups you have. Each backup can be upwards of 300mb's. If you have more than three that could be the problem. Happened to me once before. I got rid of a couple unnecessary backup files and freed up over half a gig of space. Apps from the market installed with no problems again afterward.

Q: How to enable Tab Lock Screen with Sound Controls?

Two kinds of email- basic email app icon r have one made for me for yahoo. So now when I get a email a yahoo icon pops up in my notification. Ask a themer to make you some. Themes and apps has some. I suggest using sysinterwolf cuz he is the man.

[MOD] Modified quickpanel for UCKF1 for sound toggle instead of airplane mode

I have modified the SystemUI.apk for the leaked captivate gingerbread (UCKF1) to toggle between sound on and vibration instead of airplane mode toggle.
Use at your own risk. Backup your systemui.apk before installing this.
It is based on stock theme, you will leave all theme mods
Looks like there is some problem with external sd card with this rom. People are facing it even on fresh installs of the rom without modded file. Make sure you have a perfectly working rom before you try this file. Try rebooting and making sure that your apps on sdcard are still there before you install this app.
It only toggles between 2 modes for now, I am working on getting it to toggle between all 4.
Instructions:
1. download moddedUI.zip
2. apply from CWM
3. Reboot and Enjoy
Thanks to:
1. DG : I pulled the deodexed SystemUI.apk from his cog5 b2
2. cezar: for the deodexed SystemUI.apk from continuum 5.6 which served as the reference for modification
3. dreamsforgotten: for some references in his thread on porting quickpanel
4. Daneshm90: for apk manager
And all other who I might have forgotten.
For Reverting.
1. Download the originalUI.zip file.
2. Apply from CWM
3. Reboot
EDITS:
1. Added acreenshots
2. Changed the SystemUI.apk to the one pulled from my phone just to make sure files weren't mixed up.
3. Tried the file that was uploaded earlier, works perfectly on my phone. Weird that it is acting different on different phones.
4. Gave instructions for reverting
5. Moved to CWM based install

Could this also be applied via Root Explorer by dropping the downloaded apk into the system/app directory?
Just finished this on Cog5 Beta2, works great. Toggle is a little confusing as when in Vibrate mode, the toggle does not appear lit, but when in ringer mode, it says "Sound Vibrate" and the toggle is lit.

Samsung switched this around in Gingerbread, so that's the "correct" way for the toggle to look now.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure it will eventually be changed by a dev here.
Edit: And it may just be me, but after I rebooted from doing this, I noticed my Market stopped working. The icon went to a transparent generic apk icon with a sd card in the lower right corner and it said "Application not installed", which is BS cause adb shell and root explorer both said otherwise.

Just finished this on Cog5 Beta2, works great. Toggle is a little confusing as when in Vibrate mode, the toggle does not appear lit, but when in ringer mode, it says "Sound Vibrate" and the toggle is lit.

Can you elaborate ? For me in there are 2 modes:
1. Sound: It says "Sound", there is a green speaker and a green bar.
2. Vibrate: It says "Vibrate", there is phone with wiggly lines, and bar is not lit.
Are you seeing something else?

Could this also be applied via Root Explorer by dropping the downloaded apk into the system/app directory?

I think it should be OK. Just don't forget to fix permissions.

Apparently its a weird thing happening on the latest beta. A few other including myself have had it. Also, I don't have this mod anymore cause I had to reflash beta2. I should just throw it in the zip file.

If you are reflashing your ROM you can throw it in the zip file. Otherwise you can try to follow my method or use root explorer.
I'll try to make a CWM flashable zip sometime today.
Modded for CWM install
Flashed via CWM on Cog5b2. Fast, simple, and just plain works. Good job! and thanks.
Very nice! The airplane mode thing has been driving me bonkers.
Bumping this bcuz I like it so much!!
works great for me, thanks!

I had this happen to me too on cog5 b2, it was touchwiz 3, I removed touchwiz 3 and put in 4.5 and reflashed fresh, going through all of the motions, it happened to TW4 too.
I also added launcher, by itself and it seems very stable, touchwiz locked up and rebooted the phone a couple times and the applications menu got corrupted. There is a file or a class touchwiz needs' but I have no idea what it is.
Thanks so much. This was the only flaw I had with cog and this takes care of it!

[Q] Stop Windows 8 from " Picking System to Boot"

Background: So I was running Windows 8 Built 2400 and I wanted to upgrade the new built. I decided to Download BluePoison and download windows built 8400 from there. I put it in a bootable USB and ran it but something when wrong and didn't let me install it. So I decided to go to windows 8 official website and download the official windows. I install it and everything work then I rebooted.
Now when my pc rebooted It let me to a blue screen where its gave me 3 options: (1) Windows 8 Volume 2 (2) Windows 8 Volume 2 (3) Choose Options { can remember exact name }. When I choose (1) it boots up regularly. When I pick (2) it gives me and error that windows can run cause a file its missing ( Im pretty sure this is some left over from the installation that fail)
So does anyone know how I can stop thing and just let windows boot into option (1) automatically
Open explorer, right click Computer, hit properties, hit advanced system settings, then hit the settings button in the Startup and Recovery group.

if its installed to a different partition then right click in the bottom right corner of desktop to give you the quick menu, go to disk management and delete the no longer needed partition.
It would be wise to make sure you know which one it is, check in My computer, you will see the drive you are currently using Windows from will have a blue windows logo on it. Then expand your existing partition to use the space
If you somehow installed it on the same partition or it just went wrong then check for Windows.old folders, its unlikely that Windows will have installed to the same folder
Also hit Win-R to bring up the Run dialog box
type in MSCONFIG
Goto Boot
select the dead OS and delete it

nope, I wouldn't delete any of them
if you want to be sure, open up a command console
type in diskpart
then type list volume
it will give you a list of all your volumes.
if you can copy it or take a screen shot and post it here we can take a look
The drives you have listed tho look like valid partitions that HP would install for recovery purposes so whatever happened with the other install it doesn't look like it changed anything other than messing with the boot config.

Here its a pick. Also I agrre with you that the other partitions are for HO recovery purposes. DO you believe since I deleted the dead OS from MSCONFIG and deleted Windows.old folder that there should not be any leftover from the previous instillation

[1.0][EXE || APPX][16/01/2016] CustomEdgeFavs - Extend the functionality of MS Edge

CustomEdgeFavs helps you to extend the functionalities of Microsoft Edge by adding the bookmarklet features.
I've created two variants: the "Desktop" edition for Windows 10 PC and the "UWP" edition for Windows 10 Mobile.
They're quite similar, the only big difference is that Windows 10 Mobile needs an initial configuration to work.
UWP EDITION - INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS 10 MOBILE (DON'T USE ON DESKTOP)
1. Extract the zip file
2. Copy the files within your phone
3. From the File Manager on the phone, open the only appxbundle available and confirm
4. Wait some seconds: the app will appear within the app list
IMPORTANT TIPS AND ADVICES, READ CAREFULLY!!!
1. If you're having some permission problems while saving the lnk file, you can manually copy the lnk file by downloading the zip provided here.
2. You can install the appx on Windows 10 PC, but this will not work due to permission problems. Please use the Desktop Edition.
3. To allow Edge to recognize the changes, you've to remember the website where you've created the favourite. After the creation close and reopen Edge, navigate to that website, open and close the favouries (you can try to switch folder too) and then navigate to another website.
4. UWP edition doesn't require Interop-unlock to work.
5. You can't add or remove favourites from CustomEdgeFavs. You've to create or remove these directly from Edge and then edit with CustomEdgeFavs.
6. If you can't delete a bookmarklet, try to edit that again, then open Edge and try to delete before syncronizzation.
7. The favourites syncronizzation will work even with edited bookmarklets. Be careful as you can lose or damage your favourites.
LATEST VERSION + CHANGELOG
Desktop Edition - 1.0 16/01/2016
UWP Edition - 1.0 16/01/2016
p.s. Here's a tutorial in italian with some script tested and created by me http://www.windowsblogitalia.com/2016/01/microsoft-edge-customedgefavs/
Working fine on PC but........
I used the desktop app and it worked but its not installing in phone. I tried from file manager did not work and when I used Device Portal it shows me this error, " Failure reason: Failed to start deployment. Failure text: Package failed updates, dependency or conflict validation. (0x80073cf3) "
Hi, could you try to open the appxbundle from the file explorer app?

I did. The pop up for installing the apps comes up. once clicked it goes away and then nothing happens. I hard reseted and now trying again.
That's strange. Are you on build 10586 or higher?
i am on the latest build and had reseted the phone. i can still deploy other appx but not yours. Its working fine in PC though.
Hi, try these appx. There are dependencies that you may need to install to make this app working.
You'll find two appx within the zip file.
I think that you can install them from the file manager.
now its done but i had to do a bit tweaking.

Using dependency it worked but as i suspected the shortcut link you have given did not work. So i went into packages ( i made a short cut from PC and copied it to phone. i think you should make a shortcut from the address of edge bookmarks folder on PC ) . After that went to edge folder , roaming state. Voila your app shows me " Success "
I'm already creating lnk files from desktop
Which path did you use? In my phone, the correct path is c:\Data\usera\DefApps.Windows Phone\AppData\Local\Packages etc... (the one available within C.E.F.)

i went packages and the Microsoft edge folder.
I tried your other apps before, those were nice. Device diagnostic hub should have a page showing running apps ( not system apps ) like task manager- lite

If you can recover the complete path or the lnk file, I will add within the OP
About Device Diagnostics HUB, I've merged the "apps" and the "processes" within the same list. I will add a filter within the next big update (I'm going to release a bugfix with some better translations soon, then I will release the 2.0 with a lot of new features). I've opened a dedicated forum for DDH here http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-device-diagnostics-hub-performances-t3276664
p.s. diffidate from imitations XD

no probs... keep on making such mods. Well try to make them independent of interlop unlock like this one as i cant interlop unlock my phone
Would be good to add auto-fitting the image to certain dimensions and the possibility of personalization as in the Start menu. If that's possible. For example:

Hi. After a few days of excellent work in the program will stop displaying the websites. Re-jump and run is not helping. Is there a way how to fix it?

Mhm... this is the first time I see this problem.
Have you disabled some settings related to synchronization or you've done some updates from Windows Update? Try to reduce the numer/size of the favourites and their icons too
About the concept, unfortunately that's not possible, because it's possible to use only a picture and I can't add more options to the favourites list within Edge
Pasquiindustry said:

Yes, perhaps there is any limit on the number of\a size. If you delete all the created tiles, the program again has earned (remove 1-2 tiles did not solve the problem). When the size of 70x70 pixels was created about 35 tiles.
About the update: the program has been installed on the build 14251. Then updated to 14257. The program works excellent, all created in the early build displays and new. Thank you
=======================================================================================
After 3 hours :Reduced the icons to 50x50 pixels. Created 19 tiles. Closed the program. Then again launched and again the sites ceased to appear.
