Root Benefits of rooting the X10

[TheManWithAPlan]

Lol timescape is of no use when you want to backup stock apps, it says its backed up but when ya need it, the restore buttons blacked out lol

After mediascape the only problem you should really be having is the option to change wallpapers although other apps can help ya out here!

if you buy the titanium backup donate version you can freeze apps (bit like uninstalling em without actually uninstalling them) lol.. this helps you tinker with apps n if you get errors.. you just defrost the culprit lolz

Without Mediascape some contact functions don't work. Plus some MMS functions in Handcent don't work.

Well I took the rooting jump thanks to many on here for helping, and Ive noticed the following:
Definate battery improvement,
Speed of applications
much faster Internet browsing
millions of apps do not load up int he background anymore

On the downside:
I cannot send an MMS - the "attach" button has mysteriously disappeared. (Rooted twice, removed minimal apps, and still cant do it)
Couple of issues with market. Cant download certain lines - says cannot find url

Overall though, Im glad I took the plunge.

You have probably removed something you shouldn't have. I did the same thing. Had to re-root to fix it.

Wierd.. my chompsms still shows attach sign and I have no problem with contacts.. u probably deleted something else along the way..

Anybody tried the R2BA026 upgrade? It brick's my phone. Wondering if I'm doing it wrong.

 

[powerkiter]

Not yet, I tried to get the to download the patch to go from 23 to 24 and then 24 to 26 but that dam fileshare site strangles so much it took over 6 hours to download 50% of the first patch.

So gave up.

I paid to DL full speed on an earlier update but no great success so far. I got the triangle with the ! on two attempts so I guess I'll wait to see if somebody else here is luckier than me. Or I wait for 2.1.

REFRESHER REQUIRED:

I rooted a few times, and last time I only removed Moxier.

Now tho, I want to remove PlayNow and some app called: Wiper APP which keeps showing up in my task panel despite me having it in auto kill.

The other stuff I managed to remove/uninstall using titanium backup. Except for these 2. Cant find Wiper app (Does anyone know what this is and what code to use to remove it?) and when I uninstall playnow it says unable to find apk file, but the program still works on my phone.

Sooooooooo question is: How do I go about running the cleanup cmd in step 3? I put my phone on debug mode, plugged it in, ran it and although it started with the damon running successfully mesage, when it came to removing the apps, it said name / file not found.

I tried putting the phone in flash mode, and then it just said phone not found.

anything Im doing wrong?

Cleanup code below:

@echo off

@adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system


@adb shell rm /system/app/play*
@adb shell rm /system/app/track*
@adb shell rm /system/app/LatinImeTutorial*
@adb shell rm /system/app/AndroidQuadrapop*
@adb shell rm /system/app/LatinIME*
@adb shell rm /system/app/FaceRecognition*
@adb shell rm /system/app/SEMCTouchPalKoreanQWERTY*
@adb shell rm /system/app/SEMCTouchPalChinese*
@adb shell rm /system/app/semc-backup*

@echo ##############################
@echo # DEVICE CLEANED SUCCESFULLY #
@echo ##############################


@adb shell reboot
pause

Remember you just run step 3 as it is not the cleanme cmd in step 3.

It took me about 20 minutes to remember that the last time I wanted to try and clean some bits off.

 

[Dbnguy]

??? Ok I ran step 3. And it rooted the phone again.....

However, the playme is still installed on the phone.

I then ran cleanup.cmd from inside folder 3, and same error message: Filename or directory not found....

debugging mode is enabled....

 

[powerkiter]

Step 3 does not root that is what step 2 does.

But I have found a couple of times I have had to do the whole reroot process but step 3 runs the Cleanme cmd as part of its system.

 

[Dbnguy]

You telling me I have to go through that whole process again just to remove 2 apps? Shit..... Not what I wanted to hear :-(

Okay i somewhere that people were having trouble uninstalling playnow on a rooted x10

get rid of it by following the steps

1. make sure your device is rooted and install titanium backup from the market
2. from the homescreen go to settings
3. go into applications and manage applications
4. scroll down until you find playnow
5. touch it to open up the menu of what to do
6. press uninstall updates
7. open titanium back up and find play now
8. select it and select uninstall

this worked perfectly for me and its gone completely

Enjoy and hopes this helps
