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...

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
Here is the lastest New Xperia Arc Firmware Generic Global 4.0.A.2.368 Which is the new update that introduce Xloud New themes and much more.

Xperia™ arc software updates
08-01-2011
New software available (NOT YET available on PC companion it's still rolling out At the moment)
THIS IS GLOBAL GENERIC & THIS IS NOT 2.3.4.
_____________________________________________
THIS IS AN ENHANCEMENT THAT SONY ERICSSON IS CURRENTLY RELEASING FOR ALL XPERIA FAMILY DEVICES.
What you will get is:
Updated: It seems this firmware makes the Booting Much much quicker. I can't say if it's true but anyone else can confirm this besides me. thanks
Updated: I will be also posting Other Generic firmwares Hongkong, Germany, North america, France And perhaps Branded Version if released Yet. Orange branded version is out atm But i cannot find it's download file i'll post it ASAP.
xLoud™ – boosts your music when played through the speaker
Stereo recording
shoot video with high-quality stereo sound
Digital home enjoy entertainment content stored in your phone on DLNA certified media devices ( Which means you will get new stock apps. you can remove them if you are rooted of course) but they are useful
New themes and Landscape mode for your home screen
LAYOUT change in gallery, Music stock player And many more.
Not forgetting they added plenty of minor things such as when you get a message, you will see how many number u have on the dock where message app is. same goes for calls and etc.
they really did went all over this update
The new Themes are the 5 main Sony color themes. The blue you get on stock, the yellow, green, pink and orange & Black (New) which is called Onyx.
now the "Theme" manage enables you to CHANGE the dialer/settings in overall the System background wallpaper with one of those Xperia main color wave wallpapers in a theme pack style. (Probably will be able to customize it soon if XDA devs play around with it)
you also get the Xperia Ray features, such as the New timescape design widget. Weather widget, and a lot of Animated things and icon Sony changed.
the screen timeout has an animation also.
~~~~~~~~~~~
And camera can now Zoom !
I know right? SO exciting! Let's just say this is a "thank you, here you go!" it seems. from Sony Ericsson department. They aslo really added ALOT new Unique widget to put in your homescreen, it feels very cool to have these new widgets
REQUIREMENTS:
Gingerbread 2.3.3
Flashtool
(To flash it Here is the Original Thread if you wish to learn more about flashing firmwares on your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746).
Reminder: there is NO pre/rooted version for it yet.
A other reminder: XLOUD IS FREAKING AMAZING XD
X10 Owners:
This firmware is currently NOT compatible for X10. It can for sure be ported and re-tweak for X10 system file dump. Question is how hard will it be?
Updated reminder: There is also the Keyboard option for International (full keyboard or Phonepad !)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CFS4HQ16
This would be sweet on the x10
we don't need to make the rom, just implement the features.
if some could do that then that would be master

Cool i gonna be glad
Hello,
I am a new G2 owner (moved up after my trusty Nokia N97 was pickpocketed and boy was I living in the past there with Symbian).
So far. I've installed CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0 BETA 5, flashed the Beta 7 Kernel and ran the Supercharger v6 script and am very happy with the results, I just have some hopefully, very easy to answer n00bish questions that I think relate to this mod specifically, so excuse me if the questions seem silly...
1. How do I turn off the cyonogen boot animation, I cant for the life of me find the option in settings!
2. Is there any way to stop my phone vibrating when unlocking from sleep. Again, this may be obvious to all, but I reallly cant find this particular option, after a few days tinkering with the phone.
3. Customising the keyboard, I've seen threads with specific custom keyboards, but is there anyway I can customize my keyboard with this mod to use the custom buttons on my physical keyboard (I'd love to be able to make one of these buttons skip to the next song for example on the default music player....
Thanks
Richard.

I'm not experienced in cyanogen but if there is no option to disable boot animation, you can flash a stock one
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Take a look in performance options for boot animation. Not running cm9 currently so not entirely sure.
Sent from my Desire Z using xda premium
Thats not questions of begginer
Boot animation you can change with some zip package, you can find them somwhere here or you can install another rom which provides changing boot screen. I believe aokp has this. There are no options for disabling vibrate by unlocking Im affraid. And I leave the last question without answer, because I dont know anything about this stuff.
Sent from potato
havent used this rom yet so im not sure if there specific settings for any of these
1: if there is no option you can flash a different one (4ext recovery has an easy way) there are many .zips that can be found all over xda you can flash. or you can get romtoolbox from the market (paid and free) here you can also easily change it along with many things in your rom
2. again havent used this rom so your question may be answered better by the developer, many other roms dont do this so if you get to annoyed there are many other choices
3. just like #2 there are ways but if its not listed as an option under settings than it may be a bit too difficult - may need to try out other roms that have this as a built in function
4. dont know why im bothering to answer this for i obviously dont have answers for you
You really shouldn't be using a non-stable aftermarket rom. Move over to Cyanogen 7.1 Stable if you value your sanity. Beta class roms are not usable as daily drivers and you will encounter gamebreaking bugs.
As to address your specific questions:
1: You cannot disable boot animations directly. You can replace the file, located in system>media>bootanimation.zip or delete it completely. Note: this location is relevant for Gingerbread roms, I do not know the location in ICS based roms.
2: I haven't ever encountered this design decision but it sounds dumber than a cat jumping into molasses. I swear to god some people should not be coding for a hobby.
3: Remapping keyboard keys to do the custom functions that you're requesting is not possible without detailed technical knowledge of the code interface. Do not attempt it. Learn to live with holding down the volume rocker to switch songs.
Flashed back to andromadus testing and the feature to disable boot animation is indeed in setting>performance. It may not be there in cm9 beta. You can always jump ship to either andro build. They are both very good.

Thanks for all the replies guys!
I perhaps did jump in at the deep end with a beta mod but other than my minor issues I've been very happy with what seems a very stable beta...
I will indeed look up some custom boot animations but its a shame about the unlock/vibrate issue (my boss sits close to me so its not ideal for me when I'm trying to be discreet!)
With regards to wanting a keyboard button to 'skip to next track'; the main reason i wanted it was for when i have the phone plugged into an fm transmitter while driving....having a button to press (like the dpad on the nokia n97) means i can change songs easily without looking....unless i find a better solution, Real Player Beta has a rather large and clear lock screen which isn't so bad, I'm getting better at skipping songs using touch screen without looking (or crashing).
Thanks again, loving this phone, largely to do with all the advice I'm reading here.

Absolutely great this roms.
even the settings menue is like s6.
Is it possible to get a similar rom for the s5 ?
Would be great.
Thanks for this great rom. You are the best,man.
Greets from Austria
audio recordings seem to have a metallic sound . It just happens to me ? For the rest great Rom Thank you Albe95
Good. I leave you my first impressions after a few hours.
It is the best rom I've tried so far (not counting small bugs) and it is something very special. The little interference by Samsung in the system. I mean, this rom is the closest thing to a gpe I've seen. Yes, suitably themed and optimized for the device. With apks (the samsung) adapted to the system. Consumption, for the moment, is very good. Do not overheat (at least to me) nothing at all. Consumption of ram still somewhat high, opening or running aimlessly applications or reason, but that's because of the base made by Samsung (including kernel which is part) assume that sooner or later, cooks or Samsung itself will with the key in the kernel. Because this problem does not occur in the GPE. And I insist (the qie have tasted GPE lollipop give me the reason, I think, lol) is the closest thing to a stock of Google! !!! But darn well finished and themed. This is what Samsung should have done years ago !!!! Something similar to what Motorola has accomplished in its new range ... is ****, ***** or whatever you want to call it that have not made us a lollipop like this in our devices. And look who must be infinitely easier than we currently have, for being less intrusiba. ..
I told u applause for Samsung and 3 super cheers for super Albe95 by this potability! !!!
PS: I made totally clean, formerly of the Black edition (Spanish base SamMobile) and after that installation, thorough cleaning before installing this. For if you guides to improve the working temperatures ...
With titanium I uninstalled everything I could from Samsung (what little left albe) and have frozen the rest, as the calendar. Working with that of Google, which allows to directly call phone records dating.
i can't download ur rom from the mega.
@Albe95 ,i can't download ur rom from the mega. so u can give me the other mirror? thx!

soft key backlight

Also, list of bugs found so far:
- settings for messages have white text
- phone crashes when accessing "accesibility" in settings and then "answering and ending calls" options - error msg: "com.android.phone has stopeed"
- some smart gestures don't work - palm swipe to capture and direct call
- contacts crash when try to open some contact - exactly ones which were just merged, with pictures
- in UPSM when trying to acces settings, it crashes - error msg: "unfortunately, Launcher has stopped",
- also, after turning UPSM on, hangout app crashes - no big deal though
- also, after exiting UPSM I have to sign again into some apps, like cloud magic (email client, it forgets all the email accounts that were set, thankfully those are store on their server, so simple login brings them back)
- also after exitings UPSM weather widget is gone from locksreen (until refresh of the weather app)
- display -> screen mode -> instead of exemplary picture it shows only black rectangle
- also not sure if a bug, but in accessibility -> dexterity and interaction an option to wake phone with air gesture is missing, as is in S6 (can't post links yet, but try googling " Wake Your Samsung Galaxy S6 by Hovering Your Hand Over It " article to get the idea)
- also, ambient display does not work when phone is picked up - i.e. lights up the screen when notification arrives, but does not light up the screen when phone is picked
- keyboard keeps forgetting additional languages - can't swipe on space button to switch languages after reboot, have to reeanble them in settings
great otherwise, I'll update this list if I find something else
Is it possible to bring back Homebutton = Recent and Recent = Menu ?
the one from the original Post is not working anymore.
Google Play etc. crashes after I applied the S6 port.
warming
operate the video editor ? I have slight warming in the part of the chamber , continuous heating is not whether it is due to excessive consumption of RAM. sorry my english, im spanish
Hello all
I just recently bought used but in perfect condition Huawei P8 and it drives me nuts! list of problems, that I would like help with:
1. If I wish to use stock, am I forced to use EMUI ? Please tell me that there are 2 default options ?
2. Huawei Home is shi* and it doesnt offer you the one thing ALL other manufacturers have: Vanilla-like android launcher called "simple" or "standard" or whatever
3. Why on earth are Home screen and app drawer merged into one function ?
4. Most ridiculous thing: I cant change region if I want to use English, I only have 10-12 countries .. ? like, wtf ?
Please guide me with few simple steps. What I need for a phone to suit me are these functions:
- good old regular launcher with home screens by my liking, with app drawer button (like Nova, Google default, Trebuchet, etc) >> I know I can change it on my own but I am baffled by the fact that Huawei doesnt provide it .. ?
- possibly settings that resemble default google layout, like Sony and LG do
If what I am asking is impossible by stock, please tell me, also in few sentences, easiest way to root and what ROM would suite me ? I would like to keep Huawei defaults regarding camera as I heard P8 camera is a beast and im guessing AOSP (which would suite me the best) looses that functionality .. so I am in a bit of a pickle
Thanks to all in advance!
