[Q] X10 on/off Widgets (as on the Arc) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I just bought a new X10 and I'm missing the on/off widgets (Gps, wifi, ...) as they exist on the Arc.
Is it possible to download them or copy them from the Arc to the X10?
Thanks,
Jef

Do you mean this?

Yes, those look to be the right ones

Try this from Nocturnal REVOLUTION X10 rom.

Thanks Spidernone.
Do I need to be rooted to install this? I tried to install this with Linda File Manager and ES File explorer while allowing non Market apps.
Sorry for these 'silly' questions but I'm a newbie in these matters.

If you get "Application not installed" then yes u will need root to use root explorer to place this apk in system/app & set correct permissions

danm,
I'm reluctant to root a 2 day old phone ...

Android is new to me...and that scares me, give me a pc and I'll do anything with it
I'll try to find a good tutorial here on XDA (which I will ).
Is it possible to un-root in case I need to call i the waranty for some reason? (I had to return my previous phone after 2 months...)

well, as for the astro filemanager problem why don't you get another file explorer app? like OI file manager, ES file explorer, and do it directly in market via wifi, see what it can do ^^

I'm still unable to install the apk.... no matter which Filemanager/explorer I use I always receive the message: Application not installed.
Root browser lite can determin that I have root and also in a terminal emulator I can set SU privileges.

Eureka!!!
I finaly managed to install tha apk through the terminal emulator

[INFO] How to change startup screen

Aparently there are three distinct startup screens. This is a guide to changing the last one, in my case its the O2 bubbles screen:
You need a 800x480 pic, rename/convert it to '00.png'
1. Use 'Root Explorer' and browse to the /system folder. (you can of course use any of the other file explorers with root permission out there)
2. There is a button above the folder list called 'Mount R/W' click it.
3. Now navigate to your '00.png' file and copy it.
4. Navigate to the /system/customization/BootAnimation/images/ folder and rename the '00.png' thats there '00bak.png'.
5. Paste your '00.png' file in there...DONE
Heres one I made earlier:
Thanks for the info mate
hello thank's for the info dude. can we use a .gif file ???
and how to get sound with image ? thank's again!
Thanks for the info, if it wasn't for you I would most definitely be interested in how to change the image.

Sorry for the bump... Any tutorial on how to do this on 2.1?
I would imagine its the same.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Nope, the /BootAnimation/images/ folders don't exist.
On 2.1, I found a /system/media/bootanimation.zip
with sub dirs /part0, /part1
in /part0 there is a 00000.png (which is the O2 boot screen).
Didn't try changing it, but I bet that will do the trick..
Will try & let you know..
Awesome, thanks. I'll also give it a blast once I get home fom college.
That didn't work, that is a zip file, cant find where it is being extracted in 2.1. Will keep searching.
Only got a quick chance to play with it yesterday, but I think the .zip file is the answer. I think the reason it didn't work for us because it wasn't signed. Will try editing, and then signing, the zip file later.
Sorry to bump an older thread, but I'm still having no luck. Anyone have links to a recent tutorial that'll work on 2.1/2.2?
Of course it doesn't work, it was just some developers attempt to get you all to spend money on 'Root Explorer' apps!
You didn't fall for that one

For all the Trolls out there, you can use any file manager that gives you root permissions.
I was simply giving the steps 'I' did to get a different startup screen.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone by trying to help the community.

The bootanimation.zip IS the file you wanna change if you want a different boot up screen. I have a bunch of bootanimation.zip from previous Android device and they work but for some reason when I try to create my own or even just modify the stock one and re-zip, it just comes up with a black screen.
didnt get the stock dell logo animation that comes with the att streak, but i did get rid of the o2 logo and its been replaces with the stock android one (looks rather android 1.0 -ish). and i guess thats more relevant.

Hi.
The font is "Sony Sketch", and I used TypeFresh to install it, but you'll also need AndExplorer as it's a requirement of TypeFresh. See attachment for all 3, and the font is already renamed so you just need to select them in TypeFresh.
Right, I've installed TypeFresh and AndExplorer.... but i'm struggling on getting this working! When I go in to TypeFresh I dont see Sony Sketch?
Sorry if I'm being an idiot!

Assuming you've transferred the font to your SD, open TF, which will list the fonts on the phone, tap on DroidSans-Bold.ttf, which will then open up a window of which font on your SD to swap it with, so find the font on the SD card which should be named the same as the one you're swapping it with i.e DroidSans-Bold.ttf, click ok, which will take you back to the original screen, then do the same for DroidSans.ttf, again click ok so you should see two blue arrows now next to the fonts to be changed. Click the menu button, Apply Fonts, then they should be changed and the phone will ask you to reboot.
I had already renamed the fonts before uploading so you're not going to see Sony Sketch, but DroidSans-Bold.ttf & DroidSans.ttf.
Cool.... got you! ;-) cheers!
Also, how do you change background colour?

Make sure you have Busybox installed from the market, unzip the file to ".fontchanger" on the sdcard so only the .ttf files are in the folder. go back to the fontchanger app, apply and reboot.

to use fontchanger, make a folder called '.fontchanger' on your sdcard. then insert the chosen font into that folder.
ive done that but says still havent got no fonts ,,ive tried uninstalling the fonts &reloading it all but still wont work .

did you place the full-stop in front of fontchanger? if you dont, it wont find it for some reason.
Also, are you unzipping the zip file? you have to place the .ttf files in the .fontchanger folder.

[Sense][BatteryMOD]STOCK SENSE BAR WITH NO PERCENTAGE.

This is just a stock sense battery w/o the percentage. I only made this cause I worry about my phone battery A LOT and battery percentage makes it worse for me and I wondered if other people felt the same, so I'm sharing it here. It's really not much so don't criticize or talk crap about it. Just for those iffy people who HATE battery percentages. Enjoy!
Installation Process
- Unzip files into a folder called battery.
- Go into cmd enter " cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools "
- Then enter " adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk "
- Open the .apk file w/winRAR
- Go to res>drawable-hdpi
- Drag contents from the "Battery Folder" into drawable-hdpi
- Now, put framework-res.apk into SDK tools folder and " adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework "
- Enjoy

I cannot uninstall system apps even after I ROOTED my android phone

Hi everyone
I managed to root my android phone yesterday (I checked with 2 root-checker apps). Now I'm having trouble removing pre-installed apps like Twitter and Yellow Pages which I never use. I tried few uninstall apps, and after granting them permission from SuperUS, they perform an uninstall (some apps do it forcefully) and give a message that the apps were deleted. The apps are not removed from my application list but when I click on it to run, they give an error message. But when I restart my phone, those apps I deleted start working again as if nothing happened.
What I'm I doing wrong? My phone is HTC One M8, android.
Thank you for any help

Yes, I did that before I rooted it.
I also tried using a File Explorer (rooted version) to uninstall those system app but couldn't find System files. I found a file called Root, but nothing is in the file.

I just tried it now but same problem. I select twitter to delete. It gives me a message that uninstall was successful. I check to see if it's listed on my home page, and it is although when I click on it, it gives an error message. However after restarting the phone, twitter somehow recovers and works again!!! Really strange. It's as if it wasn't uninstalled to begin with.

You need to remove read / write protection. You can do this most easily by flashing a modded kernel (boot.img) through fastboot. Alternatively, there's custom roms that have this already or you can mod a kernel module. There's a guide in the General section of your phone's forum. If you go that route, make sure that the module is compatible with the update you're on as the guide might be outdated.
