Don't be lazy and SEARCH. It's posts like this that highlight there should be post restrictions for new members!

Thanks XperiaX10iUser
Just upgraded to 2.1 and realised its completely different
May I ask whether 2.1 or old 1.6 R2BA026 is better?

Well I'm sorry, I'm only new to this place, you could be a little less obnoxious with your answers.
And I wouldn't mind if you could give me a straight answer, I've looked around the forum and I've also rooted my X10 and upgraded to 2.1 and back again, its not like I've been lazy with it.
I'm doing my best to learn, best you can do is be helpful and not snobby, its called constructive criticism.

Don't mind XperiaX10iUser.. hes cool like that

2.1 is an upgrade to 1.6, so it would most likely be better. Although, some people have not been liking it so much for some reason (lag, and sh*t like that). You should try it out for a week.. If you don't like it, you can always go back to 1.6.
But with 2.1, there are many more applications for you to enjoy on the market!

I would advice to stay with 2.1
The lag one experiences is only initial and within a day or two maximum the OS settles nicely and performs great. Many apps like LauncherPro, PowerAMP etc. are 2+ only so that's another incentive in favor of 2.1.
Additionally, you could implement JIT on it and squeeze 2x the CPU performance from it. Many apps benefit from it -- just let it do it's thing if you do implement it and don't be alarmed if it feels laggy [which it will] for a little while after that as it's rebuilding the caches. And be a tad careful with the amount of widgets and running apps you have with it simply because it'll directly impact performance. JIT memory requirements [pure RAM requirements] are high and it'll lag and/or restart if you put too many widgets on the homescreens or let too many unused apps run in the background.
The phone certainly feels faster with JIT, so that's definitely another [imo, big] incentive to enable JIT. Ultimately, it's up to you.

I've also been trying to upgrade to 2.1 but no success so far. Need some help. Pl read the details in the thread below:

What you mean is a Dual boot?
It may be possible since both are different OS systems.
But that may require cracking the boot loader.

- Andre Maurois
Being a completly new OS what we've waited months for thanks to SE tinkering with it, again, what else did you expect, it to be no different to 1.6? Asking questions is one thing, asking questions with obvious answers is another.

XperiaX10iUser, I wasnt expecting it to be any different, I was was a bit confused with what R2BA026 ment, but I get it now thanks
Another general question, with this 2.1 ROM does it necessarily mean its rooted if it doesnt say so?
Thanks you everyone

Yes, but obviously you need to have rooted it, the few that you can get from here don't come rooted if that's what you were thinking/asking.

Oh ok thanks XperiaX10iUser, guess thats it, thanks to eveyone that replied, you guys really helped

Nobody here is responsible for your inability to read. Please go to General forum and look for a post named something similar to Debranding X10. It took me less than 30 seconds to read, understand, and download what is needed, and 5 minutes to have an X10 debranded.
Please stop wasting everybody's time.
By the way, nobody's mom is responsible either for your lack of attention when you're playing with a 500$ phone. If you bricked your phone, you did it all by yourself.
Please mods, delete or close this topic as it's going nowhere (abuse reported)
Hahaha... "ROM flies" =)))
in simple words Ken ... X10I/A doesnt have a custom ROM yet .. its still under R&D by our skiiled mates.. have some paitence and wait and maybe if u dont get burned for all the previous posts.. do keep checking back
I'm glad that he doesn't see it as wasting our time
But the developments are going strong. I even read in a topic about the rooting of the Desire that Modaco will buy an X10 and try to root this (but this is just a rumour)

Since root hasn't been accomplished yet, not much customization of the X10 is possible.......but why would you ever want WM6.5 on an Android phone!?!?!?
Why would you buy an Android phone if you prefer WM......
WM is such an old and crappy OS, and I doubt WM7 will be any better, MS should just get out of the mobile game........

When did you last play with a WinMo phone ? Seems like you must have done so ages ago.. The new winmo 6.5 with HTC Sense runs just as smooth as Android does.. And i tried both systems.. So really, your reply is very colored..

Ya, I've played with WM 6.5 and Sense on my HTC Touch, and I won't disagree that it looks and runs very simliar, but that's just the home screen, underneath it all, it's still WinMo......
I was a die hard WinMo fanboy back when there wasn't too many other options, but I don't think anyone will disagree when I say WinMo doesn't compare to Android.
Does HTC even make WinMo handsets anymore? I think the last one was the Touch Pro 2, and that was a while ago.....
Don't get me wrong I'm not a WinMo hater, but I just think there is way better options out there today.......

Ya, so did I, and win 6.5 on a Touch is not even close to whats on actual devices. The touch version is stripped and is a farcry from what the HD2 winmo offers. It's very different.
However, I also think droid is thee best OS around and love it. It's a shame we are stuck with 1.6 atm and until Q4 according to Sony, but hopefully that will change soon with the talented individuals here at XDA workin hard at getting the x10 rooted.

Always remember to respect other users, even/especially if their skill level is below yours.

Well to all my fellow leakers, here ya go..

Hi, I’m Christina, and I’ll be glad to assist you today. I understand how important it is for your device to function properly. HTC does not support leaked versions of the ROMS because of this we are unsure whether you will be able to install the new version of the ROM. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support.
I hate how stupid HTC reps think people are. I sent three emails to finally get a somewhat decent response.
Now that it is quite humerous.... Thank you for that, I needed a laugh. BTW, why are you so worried about getting the OTA? The leaked v3 is very identical to the OTA.... just download that instead...

The ota wouldn't get you root anyway. The hboot image isn't updated by the ota so you would still be in the exact same spot you are right now.

haha like i mean see if anything new comes up by the time i get around to doing whatever i want to my phone. maybe if im patient then something bigger will happen
Well, the only development to come to the eris for a while is going to be new roms. root for leakers is still not here yet, and from what ive seen wont be for a bit. We already have root. and the Eris Master App makes it super simple. just get a new phone and root it. with root, you can install roms that have OTA included, plus better themes, and can do a lot more than with just 1.5 or 2.1 non root.
Just curious, how many developers are working on root for leakers?
According to VZW support's twitter account (http://twitter.com/vzwsupport), "@jfkerekes Yes, leakers should receive the OTA by 5/24. Manual download is not available. *NK"

New Samsung Vibrant Looking to Be Rooted

I basically need help with everything and I also want to know what you can do to a rooted phone and what are benefits? I already know the cons

The chances of something going wrong with JUST rooting your phone are very low. The only thing that can go wrong is if you are hardware locked and still attempt to root, then you can **** up your phone. So make sure you are NOT hardware locked. and you will be fine bro
* When i first started getting into the xda thing, i was right in your place. And the Vibrant Bible in the android dev section really helped me out. Just look at everything in there.
*If you are only rooted, then you will still get OTA's

[Q] Now what??

Ok so I am very new to all of this so please be nice. I have followed the proceedure to root my fascinate running gingerbread 2.3, which works great and was very easy so thank you to the developer, and now I don't know what to do with it.
I know someone will give me a happy reading post and that's fine cause I would like to learn alot more. Has anyone done anything else since the change to gingerbread?
Thanks all

Are you aware if your on gingerbread anything you will mostly end up getting your sd card fried? Make an sd card backup.
Keep me Fascinated.
I guess it was a little vague. I am looking to customize or theme for the most part.
This is the stock gingerbread install from telus it best not fry my SD card.
Thanks again everyone

Well if its the ota from Telus your sd card will be alright.
Keep me Fascinated.
SD card issues have been fixed for a week or two, chillax.
OP, if you want to get the most out of your phone you should try either Vanilla Gingerbread or CM7 for performance and speed, or MIUI for customization and slickness. MIUI is also very fast.
The glitch kernel is the best in my opinion, it has great performance and battery life and everything. You'll want to get voodoo control and voltage control from the market to get the most out of the kernel.
sageDieu, thank you for the suggestions. I looked at a post for the MIUI and it looks really good I think I might try it.
Now for the Noob question,(yes I will search as well), is there a really detailed walk through as this will be my first time trying this and I would rather not destroy my phone.
Keep the suggestions coming and thak you again,
Bucky
Since you are on telus avoid any and ALL verizon wireless stuff.
good day.
OK so I downloaded this ...

It mentions verizon in the post so are you saying to stay away from this one?
Sorry guys I am really new to all this. If anyone has a suggestion to try with a really detailed walk through that will work for my phone that would be fantastic. Here are the details of my phone...
Model: SGH-T959D
Firmware: 2,3,3
Baseband version: T959TLKG2
Kernel Version: 2,6,35,7-T959TLKG2 sj0829,[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.LKG2
Stock install from Telus and rooted using the process posted here on XDA.
Thanks again I appreciate it!
That's why I posted what I did. The telus fascinate is a gsm band phone. The verizon fascinate is cdma. And I noticed other users are suggesting things that would lead to issues on a gsm phone. There are sprinkles of telus items within our (vzw) forum but on xda the telus fascinate does not have it's own dedicated forum. So you might try a google search for other telus items for your gsm fascinate.
good day.
Ok so does anyone have anything that will run on a telus gingerbread? There has to be something out there

[Q] webOS v3.0.3?

Hey All,
I got a touchpad recently, new, in box and it seems to have shipped with OS version 3.0.3...According to PreCentral, this is not something they've seen thus far...This is preventing me from doing any modding/Overclocking... Someone recommended I downgrade to 3.0.2...
Anyone know if there's a good reason not to downgrade? I don't know if Im losing much by downgrading, but this tablet isn't very speedy as it is now, so overclocking was supposed to be my solution to that...

Downgrade? Thats not something I would do just yet. If you can find a dev or someone that knows what they are doing. Ask them for help about somehow dumping the ROM on here so other people can check out the new rom.

Hi,
I just received mine with version 3.0.0. I can update it to version 3.0.3 but of course, I would like to know if it doesn't prevent any hack.
Mine is a french version, which version do you have people?
EDIT : Sorry, update version is 3.0.2, my bad.

i think if you were to downgrade, pretty much you have to make a webOS doctor using meta doctor in linux. follow the steps in one of the threads to installing ubuntu except you dont have to make a ext3fs partition. just use meta-doctor.
Is 3.0.3 even available to the public?
