AWESOME! Thanks to all involved !

Thanks alot!
Here is a screenshot of how it looked like with me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also got a superuser app

A note:
In Linux (or MAC I suppose aswell) you need to enter
./fastboot -i 0x0fce flash system play-modded.img
BTW. It did NOT erase installed apps on my phone

Anyone tested? No comments on my file

Hehe, well -> Test your image, but i think it will not work if you made it like for other Androids!
The problem is that you cannot CREATE (extract works well) images with tools like mkfs.yaffs etc. for SE phones
We need a trick here to get then ready!
But if you manage it another way! Congrats
Will get some sleep now! Cu tomorrow!

mine would of failed in that case, I built it back with standard tools.
so close yet so very far..
Thanks mate you've earned the rest

@Bin4ry nice work mate
Will you be looking for other ways to root the play that doesn't involve flashing with fastboot commands nor unlocking the bootloader. Just a simple app with one click to root the play. It's not that i don't know my way around flashing/modding, been doing this on my last three mobiles. I just don't wan't to mess with my play nor install any custom roms (getting it next week). I just wan't root to change small things and have more access
Well i hope you do look for other ways
Regards Dousan...

btw to uninstall aps the "easy" way i recommend "Root Uninstaller" free and works like a charm

works great, superuser works, root explorer, removed bloatware

[MOD]Dual Touch FOR EVERY app

So, I installed the latest DT kernel from SE in my X10 using this trick (Thanks Bin4ry!!!).
I am currently on stock SE ROM, 2.0.A.0.504, and I noticed that dual touch was not working on every app, but only on some third-party apps.
So, I did some research and found out how to enable it in every app that supports it!
It is very easy!
FIRST FLASH THE LATEST KERNEL, AS DESCRIBED HERE!
And then...
[ROOT REQUIRED]
Step 1 (Optional, according to arkedk, thanks for pointing out! However, I did it on my phone, it doesn't cause any trouble and I haven't personally tested this method without it)
Using Root Explorer, navigate to /system, press the Mount R/W button, find build.prop, long press on it and select "Open in Text Editor".
After the last entry, add the following lines:
ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
ro.product.max_num_touch=2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press Menu, then Save and Exit.
Delete the build.pro.bak that was created (or move it to your sd card, if you want to keep a backup)
Step 2
Download this file (rapidshare mirror) and, using Root Explorer, copy it to /etc/permissions. Then, long press on it, select Permissions and make sure that these options are checked: the whole first column and the first from the second.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
​
Exit Root Explorer and reboot.
DONE!!!! Try it on Google Maps!
Oh! And consider pressing the "Thank You" button if I made your life a little better! LOL!
22/1/2011: Thanks to the kind member who donated to me generously!
And I would love if he/she contacted me via PM so I will know the nickname, because on the Paypal receipt I only see his/her full name!
Works in stock browser and Google maps. But, still does not work in Mediascape. Anyway to get that working too?
Good job!

The Mediascape app does not support it, unfortunately.
Maybe we can push the newest mediascape.apk from the Domoco ROM.
It works

The UXP update is going to bring us the new Mediascape and Timescape apps. It was initially scheduled for November, but as the OS update (2.1 update) was pushed back, it was also pushed to "within Q1"...
My_Immortal, you're awesome. Totally worked on my Rogers stock rom v504.
Hi...
I received an ota update of 8.64 mb but it says unable to install....
Any idea...

You might have better luck just doing it yourself. Here is a great tut I found after a quick google search. It gives you links and detailed instructions, it's pretty easy actually when you have the right tools.

You sure you don't have any problems with your machine? From the looks of that ss something is a miss. You might run a good antivirus program and be sure.

hybrid rom in sgy section is quite similar with stock one. sajidmkhan only remove the bloatware and change the themes. anything else is almost untouched. you can use it for a source for a stock rom from galaxy y.

Until then why don't you use amarulz app2sdx script or s2e from the playstore? They should work because JoyOS is based on cm7
Thnks BTW for A2SD help.. I've used that thing to get it working
Now the next thing is.. I'm not getting the Trackball notification for messages and missed calls.
When I receive any SMS the screen wakes up instead of the trackball..
can this be settled??
Bummppp
No help ??
I may fix it for a next build, but not sure

Not to sure because I had to factory reset to get mine to work. Then it came back as market, but easily upgraded to Play Store. Or you can use condi's AIO tool to install a 'black market' Play Store.

Are your drivers all installed properly? I had to go and install mine because Device Manager showed my tablet wasn't recognized properly. Not sure if it's related.
does that mean we are able to root our device once we are on an unrooted ics??
From reading many, many, many threads on vpnfaker and xperia, etc, I have tried the automatic and not manual, have not been able to get it work. However, it does appear from various forum threads others have. I am not sure what the missing key is for mine though. Going to wait a little longer and see if the automated way gets a few more updates and try again.
