Compilation of Question and Answer - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In this thread I would like to gather usually asked question. Feel freely to add more. And I will add more too. Any suggestion or correction welcome. Here we go.
Q: I want to flash my phone to other ROM. What should I do?
A: You could refer to this post about X10 Flash Tool by Bin4ry and list of the ROM from here by jerpelea
Q: I want to flash my phone but don't want to loose my apps and settings
A: Just don't include userdata.sin when flash. Thanks to MarylandCookie
Q: I restore my contacts using stock Backup and Restore Apps but I can't see my contacts in the phonebook.
A: The apps restore the contacts under your Google accounts. You could show your Google contacts by Clicking three people icon at the top left of your phonebook and enable it from there.
You should check about Social Phonebook too.
Q: My market keep crashing when download apps. What should I do?
A: Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Find your market apps -> Clear cache (if any) -> Uninstall updates
Q: I want to remove ads from apps. What should I do?
A: IMO, just let it be. That's what make so many android apps free.
Q: I need to root my X10. What should I do?
A: Use z4root. Refer to this post by MarylandCookie for detail
Q: I couldn't find Assisted GPS option. Where is it?
A: Settings-> Location and Security -> Use wireless networks
Q: Where is the Auto Brightness?
A: Brightness except 0 and 100 IS auto brightness just work different way. Or you could try using Spare Part apps from the market
Q: I want a longer battery life what should I do?
A: 1. Turn off GPS : Settings-> Location and Security -> Uncheck Use GPS Satellites
2. Turn off Wireless Networks : Settings-> Location and Security -> Uncheck Use Wireless Networks
3. Use home launcher replacement such as ADW Launcher by anderwerb, Launcher Pro, HelixLauncher, etc
4. Make your phone in airplane mode after 23:00. You could automated doing this by using Timerrific apps
5. Turn off your Autosync : Settings-> Accounts & sync -> Uncheck Auto-sync
6. Turn off/make a longer interval of your update. Such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Usually there is an option for that inside the apps itself
7. DO NOT Use AUTO Killer apps. Use a MANUAL Task Manager. Kill the apps manually when you feel want to do it. Do not need to do it automatically or often though
8. If you have unstable 3G networks, change your phone to GSM Only : Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode -> Choose GSM only. Switch to 3G network/WCDMA when you need it and don't forget to switch back, because unstable signal could drain your battery
Q: I want to optimize my X10. What should I do?
A: 1. You could applied Jit. You could find it from here by ttxdragon or here by jerpelea
(I just enable Jit and manually delete app I don't want. Well I keep Timescape and MediaScape ^_^ )
2. In my observation, no need to change the Heap Size, because 24 is the best value fit for our X10. Otherwise is just a placebo effect. Even I experience have to click little apps more than one to run it when I'm in 32.
Q: I don't what apps are safe to delete. What should I do?
A: You could try to see the list here by exekias
Q: I wrongfully deleted my system app. What should I do?
A: You surelly want to try to install it again from here by XperiaX10iUser
Q: I cannot receive SMS when there is Low on Space notification
A: Probably Solution : Use Titanium Backup and choose Clean Dalvik Cache. Haven't have time to try it yet.
Q: I want 3D Gallery. What should I do?
A: Use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro (I only tried those launcher) and add Custom Shortcut, Choose Activity, and you will Find Gallery from the list. That's is your 3D Gallery
Q: I want hidden Music app. What Should I do?
A: Use the same method as above only choose Music this time. IMO it's not that great, as matter of fact I deleted the "hidden" Music app. ^_^
Q: I'm bored with the look of my phone. What you need is theme.
A: 1. Read _calum_ theme reference
2. XperiaX10iUser's theme
3. Theme from dk2000zx
4. Elemental theme from Mr_Element
5. Or you could just go to this section. There are plenty of them. ^^
Q: I want 2.2 for my X10.
A: There is no official announcement about it.
Q: I still want 2.2 for my X10.
A: Well you could just try it from this thread
Q: Ouch I forgot to bring my cable. My cable is missing. My cable is broken. I need to access my phone using ADB. What should I do?

[REG] Remove service provider name from curtain

I experienced some problems due to Task Manager.
I added apps to auto end list, so when screen was off I had to re-enter the preffered input method/live wallpaper etc.
Anw, the main problem is how to remove the service provider logo from the curtain, cos I can't see any notifications.
(see picture!!)
Any help appreciated!
Thanx!!
installing GingerBlur will remove the carrier logo but will not push it down to the notifications window. I did the same because Vodafone AU was becoming a similar annoyance
thanx, but i dont want to install motoblur!
any other solutions?
all other problems sovled!
I was just adding to auto end list all programs via task manager, to have less battery consumption!

you wont be able to remove the carrier name from the bar without rooting/deodexing the phone, so you can either
root then deodex then install a No ATT bar from the development section (can't remember the link though)
- OR -
Root then install CWM (oldest available version) then install gingerblur.
sorry :/

Thank you very much
Is there a way to Disable the Sony UpdateCenter service, I have not used or activated it at all, it's eating my battery
Check if you can disable it from Settings -> Apps -> All -> Sony Update Center
If you can't disable it, it doesn't mean that you won't be able to do so in the future. If you get root, then it's nothing more than navigating to system/app and deleting the APK from there.
I have this Android Backup eating my battery, I have it disable from Backup & Reset (Backup My Data). Yesterday I installed Helium Backup (former Carbon Backup) and I read somewhere that it could have been a reason for the backup and I already un-installed it, but the backup is still there. I've also read that Helium Desktop tool did enable backup at the ADB service level, how can I disable that?, thanks

I already disabled everything on Settings. I know as soon as I get root I will go to Titanium Backup and Disable it.

I would think that it has something to do with syncing (*sync*_com.sonyericsson.updatecenter.provider_account). Do you have a Sony account? Does Sony have an App Store on the device?

I do not have a Sony Account and I have not setup any Sony store on the phone.
Any idea how can I solved the Backup issue posted above?

Do you have automatic backup enabled? Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Back up my data
It's hard to tell what it might be, since you're where you are, and i'm here

I've been doing some research and it seems related to the Android "Backup My Data" service

ROM without PHONE just for use as media and nav in the car

Hi everybody.
Is there any ROM without phone?
Or which mods or apps do I have to uninstall?
I use the xperia z2 just for navegation(waze) and media(spotify) in the car.
Thanks in advance.
Look for the folder /system/app/Phone or /system/priv-app/Phone and deletes it then reboot if you really wish to.
You will need ROOT privilege to do this task.
No root needed and you can undo when you want
Type *#*#4636#*#* on dialler > Phone information > Set network prefered type > Unknown
That's all. No SIM network anymore
========================================================================
Is better deactivate network apps than uninstall
You can do with any apps manager (ie Link2SD, App2SD)

My 7.1 thinks it's a 7 Plus, and so won't update

I've got a Nokia 7.1, which in System-About Phone says it is a 7.1, TA-1096. But when I sideload a stock ROM (to move from Oreo to Pie) it says 'E: package is for product CTL_Sprout but expected B2N', and refuses to install it. My understanding is CTL-Sprout is the 7.1, and B2N is the 7 Plus.
It also:
- fails to find that any OTA updates are available despite being on 8.1;
- won't take a B2N ROM by sideload (says 'E:failed to verify whole file signature', 'E:signature verification failed' and 'E:error 21'); and
- interacts fine with ADB when booted or in recovery, but isn't recognised by the fastboot devices command when in 'download mode'., so I haven't been able to flash TWRP.
It all seems strange to me, but I'm not very experienced. I originally put the phone aside when I found there was not going to be a bootloader unlock, and am keen to now get it to Q and try to root it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Question Applications lose their permissions when restarting the device (Redmi Note 10 mojito/sunny

Every night I turn off my phone, the next day I wake up, and turn it on, and some applications such as messages, or google photos, brave browser, ask me for permissions or define defaults, this only happens after restarting the device

In the settings for the "Info>Permissions" application in the system, there is an option to "remove permissions for inactive applications". The system will probably evaluate the application as inactive and remove the permissions.
Turn off this feature for the listed applications.
I cant find that settings anywhere
I'm on a custom ROM and can't verify if Miui supports it. But Android 11 has this feature and custom ROM also.
It's supposed to be where you set permissions for the application.
