If you have a spare x10.. Bin4ry needs it. If you can send him a pm he should be able to get a postal address to you, so you can send it to him.
If you have a new model same I guess. What do you actually want?
P.s this should be in q&a

it'll be @ the party thing so can't use a laptop Im not very optimistic about my mission but I want the ps apk and a look @ the build. Prop
It's not a spare x10 its my baby sorry was just saying to show the tools @ hand the spare plus one means VIP ticket
Sorry its in the wrong place :-s I just found out x10 section is not all this website...

email yourself all the apks you think you may want. Gmail can install them directly without downloading. I use appmonster a lot....it's very quick to back up any apk on your phone. You may need root access to do it, but once you are in, there's not much you can't do.
I'd definitely email myself androot and z4 root just in case!!! just attach the bare apk to an email & send it to your gmail account.

He won't have been able to do anything like that.. the play won't be rooted, and do you think anyone's going to have left him alone with it to see if he could root it and rip all the APK's out of it.. er.. no.. I don't think so.

I'll go with you...

Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk - No PCs, No Scripts Needed, EASY

## I will clean up the code, and UI this weekend: and for those with any doubts: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/1-click-eris-root-app-no-pc-required/
## To those tempted to redistribute my apps, or apps based on my work without permission. This will only result in me using a new obnoxious DRM system. Please stop it.
Preface, This is not a free app, its a try before you buy app. If this app works for you, and you are happy with it. You are required to donate a meal to a homeless youth, or any amount of money to a youth outreach type program.
This is a TeamAndIRC production. The source code is available on request, if good reason exists.
I got bored and whipped this up tonight with ECLIPS3. This will root your Droid Eris running 2.1 with 1 click.
If something doesn't work, don't freak just contact me. Tested working on latest RUU.
This does NOT erase anything off your phone.You can keep you data/apps with this root!
Step 1) download and install this apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/erisone010.apk - VERSION 0.1.0
Step 2) Run, read disclaimer, press button
Step 3) Reboot, once rebooted your phone should have Amon's recovery. Yay.
Step 4) Use the recovery to flash rootme.zip that is now on your SDCard, or the custom rom of your choice.
Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.
Just that easy.
Please come chat with use at http://chat.andirc.net or irc.andirc.net #droideris if you have a separate IRC client.
Credit to:
Eclips3 for spending hours and hours and hours testing my crap. Without him this app wouldn't exist.
TopazAaron for the icon
wag3slav3 for the root method
Amon_RA for the recovery image
erisuser1 for the post that gave me the idea.
and to the authors of flash_image and superuser.apk.
This is 100% legit! Very easy to do. One click. If you cant click one button. You dont deserve root lol!
If you do have troubles:

Awesome work man thanks.

good work jcase and eclips3
good stuff!!!
Front page vote is in Nice work! As usual...
Very cool awesome work team!
Im already rooted but this should help quite a few who arnt/wouldn't be able to get adb setup or follow through etc.
Seriously, jcase & ECLIPS3, you guys are animals !
Thats awesome! if my eris ever craps out on me and i get a new one i will definitely use this.
Jcase and others; you are amazing
I'm confused about one thing. If it is a try before you buy app, and it is a one-click root app, then why would anyone pay for it? The majority of users only need to root once for the most part, so what's to say that people will download it, use it one time to root, and because they only need it for that one time operation, not donate at all? I can see a try before you buy for an application that can recieve daily use. Bravo nonetheless! You guys think of everything for the Eris!
Guess I will be trying this soon as VZW is sending me another refurb
thanks agin for all the work you and others put into the Eris community

Nice work. Will be rooting my wife's Eris tonight.
FroYo, xda, beer, repeat.
Not truly universal as 1.5 isn't supported, but your description does point that out. This is a minor quibble and more of a note for anyone else attempting this on 1.5.

Its the conditions of use I put on the app. If they use it, like it and don't comply they are assholes and they know it. A meal for some kid cost $1-3 at McDonalds.

Who can build me a custom rom?

Noob here! I hope I didn't post this in the wrong section. I'm wondering who of the pros could build me a custom rom for some htc devices (aria, thunderbolt, and maybe inspire) or if you have one that may be fitting for my needs. I'm sure I could learn how and do it with a kitchen[I made a few for WM devices before]. Or perhaps someone would be willing to walk me through learning how-{I know nothing about programming though}. Right now the Aria is most important as I haven't rooted my Tbolt yet. I find there are lot of roms out there I could try but I need something very stable (I'm giving this Aria to a kid and dont want to have to fix it for him all the time). I don't have the time to follow all this dev stuff and feel like learnig it myself will be a little overwelming...PM me if you feel like
For the Aria...
Im OK with Sense but like to use ADW launcher
Strip out all bloatware including Facebook, Friend Stream, Mobi TV,IM, Mobile Banking, Peep, Where, YPMobile, Weather, Stocks, Utube, Talk, News, All AT&T stuff
Remove Internet App
Remove Gmail & Mail App
Android 2.2 or higher would be cool but not nessiccary
Kill the Market
Ad Google Voice
If you know of a good firewall that can block data except for certain apps (like Voice)
Edit: Swype would be nice too!
Basically He's a kid and I don't want him to have access to all the [email protected] out there That even the cheap stripped AT&T phones have so I chose an Android so i can customize it.
I have a better suggestion, if it's a kid who shall use a smartphone, either change the phone type or go to Wi-Fi Wireless settings in Android and set 3G and Wi-Fi off. A kid isn't smart enought to start the wi-fi and if he does, make sure your wi-fi is password protected (encrypted). Because you can make sure the phone can't access the internet without 2G/3G - Wi-Fi disabled.
Smarter solution then bricking the phone ^^,
If the aria is rooted just uninstall all those apk.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Yeah but why? If he uninstall Market, how will he get it back? Suppose he could find something like Market.Apk or download it from a update or recovery(?).
Sounds meaningless to go throught that much trouble just to make sure your kid can't access the internet.
Sounds like he needs a butt naked Cm7 or MIUI..........or a flip phone lol
Just install CyanogenMod without the google apps that should cover most of it

I'm not sure if this applies to the aria or not, but on my phone (verizon fascinate), there is a file named pppd_runner in /system/bin/ that, when removed, "breaks" data. Wifi will still work (not sure how to break that though), but he will not be able to receive MMS messages.
You need to be rooted to remove this file, and if you want to restore data on his phone you can simply restore the file. I suggest you backup the file somewhere safe and then remove it.
As for the internet-related apps, you could always remove the .apk files from the phone using titanium backup, root explorer, etc.

How old is the kid?
Do as you're told and install a CyanogenMod 7 (clean), chance that you brick your phone is there but if you do it perfectly it's nothing to worry about.
Errr Get titanium backup and unistall what you dont want !

Root = No Market movies

Well how about today I found out why the "movies" section is not showing up in the market in my Xoom... Well come to find out that Google has it where no rooted device can access the movies from the market... I say a crock of ****... I'm sure many of you like me wasnt aware of this when we rooted our device... Wouldn't have mattered if I did... But all the same would have been nice to know.. I don't understand the reasoning behind this.... Anyways those of you that don't know the only way to get it back is to reinstall the stock room then relock your device. Apparently when you unlock it supposedly deletes some file that you have to re flash to get back... I heard this on the latest android central podcast in case you all wanna know. Well maybe some one soon will get us a work around for this.... What y'all think?

This was known when Movie rental via Android was first announced...big headlines all over the tech sites, hardly a secret.
As for why, it was obviously required by the movie studios due to DRM issues. They want to be sure the movies can be stored ina folder that can't be accessed directly by the user. Not surprising considering their previous stance on such matters.

... and just so's we're clear on this, you're saying that simply reflashing the stock boot.img won't fix this, you have to run "oem lock" in fastboot?

Orange Quick Tap Wallet app and Barclaycard NFC

Hello XDA
My Wife offically got the Orange Quick Tap Wallet app installed and working...i found it funny how it then installs a barclaycard app then after and its actually the barc app that does all the work, i then tryed taking the sim outs the phone and tryed in mcds and it worked
so the contactless quick tap sim orange make customers order isent needed aslong as once the barclaycard app is installed on your phone ...I am wondering if theres a way to get the barclayscard app from her stock galaxy s3 phone and transfer it over to my CM10 factory unlocked unbranded o2 Samsung Galaxy S3?
i now know its the barclays app that we all want, also the whole £50 customers are meant to get we both dontknow whos meant to give us the credit for her s3 atm
anyways exciting knowing there might be a way to get the barclay app off her phone and onto every other app
You could try to see if it installs a separate app and pull that apk file
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
no thats what i mean it has installed as a seperate app lol but i dontknow how to take it off the phone to try on a diffrent handset
do you have root? The best way to get it would be the app root explorer then you can see what app you need to take from /data/app
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
i how do i pull the apk file?
im dying to get this working and share with all, greedy networks trying to make out contactless sims and apps are need when all thats needed is this barclaycard app

Download the app root explorer from the market, its a paid app but you get 15 minutes to refund.
Once downloaded open it up and go to /data/app - look on the list of apps installed and find the one you think it is, long press it and go copy then at the top of the page press that button to go back two levels and then go to sdcard and paste it there.
from there you can use whatever app you normally do to access your sd and upload the file for all of us.
its all a ****ing marketing ploy to get u to think its all orange, when its not even the orange app thats does the work...all the orange app is there for is to then direct u to the barclaycard app lol total joke big time
I'm really interested to see if we can use this on other networks. I think it's silly that the technology is there for all to enjoy, but some company has decided better...
Do you know if it allows you to use any cards, or is it just barclaycards?
damn wife is now on a night out lol
iv downloaded the root explorer app but need her phone to get the app lol
ill report my progress in a few hours and with luck ill upload the file here on xda for all
yes it has allowed her to attached any card to the service
hers is a lloyds visa debit,
Did you say her phone was rooted? (I guess it will need to be to pull the app) It's rooted and this NFC payment app works still?
yes her phone was already rooted, just waiting to install root explorer onto her phone when i see her tonyt, then ill try it on my s3 and my nexus 7 tablet,
see iknow when using the orange app you need to turn off wifi cause its trying to read the network but once u then launch the barclaycard app u can use network or wifi hence at the time of using it with no sim we had no sim in and used wifi to connect and worked fine as before, im hoping to get this running on my rooted s3 with cm10 and am on the o2 network so it it works i think its safe to assume it will work for all...well lets hope so iv been waiting since forever to get google wallet here in the uk and so much for the olympics fail of no app i guess google will probs never release the google wallet app here in the uk kinda like how we may never get google music and proper google video google mags
anyways if this works from my experience of using it today it works perfect, the app it as good as it needs to be and incase you all wanna know its just a pre-payed card you top-up kinda like what google wallet had but hopefully they will replace that with just direct card payments soon,
i wonder when other networks will get there nfc wallet apps out, sucks i cant try this rytnow she wont be home until after midnight so i guess ill be up all nyt getting this working
Shouldn't she be in the kitchen doing the dishes?

Well I downloaded it from the play store after I put my orange sim in the s3 but it would not work. I looked on the orange site and they state there that you need a different SIM.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
lmfao!
the orange app yes but its the barclays app thats then downloaded thru the orange quick tap wallet app that is the 1 i am talking about...anyways shouldnt be too long and i can attempt to get this working on my cm10 o2 handset with any special type of sim
k guys iv been trying to do this for the first time...i have used root explorer and managed to find the apk file its 3mb and copyed and attempted to install on my s3 but during the installation it ends saying not installed
do i need to also find the app data from her phone aswell?

Help! App for downloading tablet apps?

I'm looking for an app or method to be able to download apps on the Google Play Market that are strictly for tablets. When I try it gives me a message saying the app is not compatible for my device. I know that this has something to do with the Play Market knowing that my phone is not a tablet and they get that information from somewhere in the build prop..I think. Anyways, could somebody please help me.
Does anybody have an idea??
You have to request for a mod that will trick your play store into thinking that your phone is a tablet search around though I think you may be able to ask a few developers that are in the early stages of there ROMs build and maybe taking request.. Also if you come across anything that can help them put this in there ROMs and send them the info I'm sure they will add it.. Just see what you can find on your own first..
