After many tries here is it, my first beta for Android Eclair 2.1 for the Nike.
Work is still in progress and maybe out there there is someone who would like to help me in this project of porting a working version of android 2.1 to the nike.
Files:
http://rapidshare.com/files/363158134/20100103_Eclair_2.1_HTC_Nike.rar.html
UPDATE #1:
- Data Problem fixed, some disconnects but it can be used without problems (I reccomend to reset the modem when you dont use the connection anymore)
- Added some preinstalled apps:
Astro File Manager
Facebook App
Market
Google Maps
Youtube (Only Audio, Video does not work, i am working on it)
Modem
Advanced Task Manager
RELEASE #1:
- Calls and SMS work
- Data does not work, i am fixing this
####Install Instructions####
- Copy the andboot folder to the root of your SD
- Run Haret
- When haret is running hold the dpad middle button to enter the installation menu
- In the installation menu choose where to install (i use data and system on sd card partitions, its faster)
- Press Install System
- After the system is installed press quit and wait
The first boot is a little bit slow, there is no bootanimation in this built so dont worry if the screen turns black, just wait few minutes, after the first boot i recommend to reboot to speed up things.
Have fun!!!

Android uses your storage card. To go back to wimo you have restart you device.
When you want to update android: Download the files and over write the existing files.
Once installed Android, I can enter to Android, and Restart my device, I can go to my Windows mobile , So I want to Android again, How can I do? Need to install Andriod again????
does this work on the NEON?
Boot manager
I think there should be a boot manager.
ther IS a bootmanger:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792
Kernel Panic...
I had a kernel panic during the haret booting. then said..."Rebooting in 3 seconds..." then it freezed. Help.
@nik2208:
Do you have linux or programming experiences?
@rhombus:
I did not test it on the neon, just on my nike 20keys, you could try it and let me know.
@ebautista:
Do you use the zimage in my package? Try using another zimage, maybe the latest on the vogue project page works.
For the data connection i found that ppp is not invoked because i get an error that says that only root can run /bin/pppd, so maybe the data connection does not work becase pppd is not invoked, i will make some tries to check that.
@m0rph3us
both
Very good, i am working on the data problem, first of all pppd had permission problems so i fixed that, pppd is now called but it fail when it tries to create a pid file becase it says that the filesystems is read only... do you have icq or msn so we can se what we can do next?
@12432
i think this time is different: the installing procedure tells that the process is going to overwrite the rom..
the old android version used the storage card like a guest..not this one..
@12432:
Dont choose to install it on the nand, choose sdcard partition or image files... Android will be installed on the sdcard and winmo remains on the nand.
You did a great job man, got it running on my HTC Nike, and it performs better than other android ports ( looking to speed and connectivity ). The only downsides at the moment, is that i can't activate XT9 dictionary while writing a message, and the camera functionality ( every port had this for as far I know, so can't blaim you ).
So my question to you is, do you know any way to enable (Dutch) XT9 on this rom? I got the device running on Dutch language now, but in the dictionary-settings, there are no known words, whatsoever. Since I don't know if there is any way to browse my storage card ( didn't see any explorer or anything ), i can't install it like a cab or anything.
Would be cool if i could get it running, would make it a wonderfull android port
I have an old android 1.5 with data working, it can help you for the data on 2.1 ?
[email protected]
Ok guys, big step foward, i am connected succesfully to the internet, but dns does not work, this means:
- If i open the browser and type www.google.com no page is displayed
- If i open the browser and type the ip-adress of www.googl.com, the page is displayed
so there is just a little dns problem, maybe tomorrow i am able to solve it, even the 3g icon on the top is not displayed...
why am I not able to install the os?
after the choice "install" the procedure starts formatting..
then, and after a lot, a message tells
"can't umount /data: invalid arguments" and goes back to initial choice list..
After installation process when you are back in the list choose fix permissions,then back In the list choose quit than wait...after a few minutes Android. Should start
[Tutorial] My easy guide to SPEED-UP a lot X10 with STOCK SE 2.1 ROM ♦(UPDATED 30/04)
Hi everybody!
My username is new here on XDA, but you have to know that I follow you everyday, mostly on Xperia X10 thread, since I bought my SE smartphone. Finally I decided to register and take part of this huge community So... welcome to me!
After working on my X10 and following several guides here on XDA, I found very interesting some posts/threads about it and would like to share my experience with you.
If you like, you can pay me a beer with a small donation. Feel free to do it if you want! However, because of I usually don't drink too much beer, you can pay me some gadget that I need for my university studies, it's much better for me
An HUGE thanks to the following users for their donations (please let me know your XDA username too ^^ ):

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I will report here the procedures I have applyed to my Xperia X10 with standard Eclair 2.1 to improve its performance a lot, without making uninstable the software or causing any sort of crash.
!! ATTENTION !! The mods that I report here are not mine. They belong to their developers. I just would like to share with you the steps and the mods I made to my X10 choosing among the great ones all made available here on XDA forum, thanks to the great work done by super people here on XDA Thus, all software downloads here on XDA contain an hotlink that will address you on the official thread of the software, created by its developer. OK??
!! WARNING !! I AM NOT, I AM NOT, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR SMARTPHONE. Thus, if you want to try, it's up to you. I can only say that my Xperia X10 still works more than fine, and even much faster than before
READY? SET, GO!!!!!!!
STEP 1: ALL DRIVERS WE NEED!!
WHY THIS STEP: At first I tryed some mods but, even with USB debug enabled, certain software was not able to work. The reason? Simple: the right drivers were not correctly installed on my Windows 7 PC even with SEUS preinstalled and fully working.
HOW TO DO:
You simply have to download Sony Ericsson PC Companion. You can found it clicking HERE , downloading from the official SE source the latest version.
Once you download and install it (very easy to do), just connect your Xperia X10 and wait until the software recognizes it. Now all drivers, even the USB debugging ones, are fully installed and operative. We must need them for next operations we will perform to our X10.
STEP 2: ROOT IS THE BASIS FOR ALL!
WHY THIS STEP: we need to obtain the ROOT access on our Xperia X10 in order to be able to execute certain software and make sure it works well. Without working root, we simply won't obtain the right full permissions to proceed with the installation and customization of certains mods that will follow here in this guide.
HOW TO DO:
simply download and unpack the latest FlashTool 0.2.6, that includes several major bugfixes in respect to the previous version. Download it from its official thread, HERE.
Now turn on your Xperia X10, connect it to your PC and enable the USB Debugging from Setting -->Applications --> Development (I hope the translation is right, I have italian software on my Xperia...);
Finally start FlashTool by clicking on the main executable file and simply click the "ROOT" button on the upper part of the software.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT and enjoy a delicious italian coffee
Once the software finishes (usually a few seconds are needed) maybe it will restart your X10 or will ask you to do it. So, do it now!
Root completed!!!
STEP 3: BUSYBOX, the magic box
WHY THIS STEP: you need this intermediate step to be completely sure that the installation of next component will work fine without any problem or crash. This is a toolpack for your Android device that will bring the right instructions used by certain software to be correctly executed.
HOW TO DO:
Open Android Market application from your X10;
Search "busybox", then install it as you do for every application;
Open BusyBox Installer from your main menu, click OK to agree with the licence and finally click on the "Install" button.
If the root performed at the previous step (STEP 2) of this tutorial has been correctly executed, you will be able to install it without any problem and an "OK" message will appear.
STEP 4: xRECOVERY, the magical installation tool ;)
WHY THIS STEP: xRecovery is a sort of "external software environment" developed for Android Xperia X10 in which you will be able to boot in at every OS boot, to execute advanced operations regarding your ROM and NAND memory. You can install custom rom, backup them, format, wipe cache, and (this is what we need now) install custom zip updates and software packages.
HOW TO DO:
Download the installer from the OFFICIAL THREAD here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571 on XDA; choose the typical installation. In other words, just download the APK;
Copy the APK on the SD of your X10 by connecting it on your PC;
Open the APK on the Xperia X10 and install it using for example ASTRO file manager.
Once installation has finished, open "xRecovery installer" from the main menu and choose "Install xRecovery". A few seconds and all is done!!
To boot in xRecovery, simply restart your phone and press BACK button while booting
xRecovery does not allow you anymore to charge battery without (automatically) turning on the phone if it is powered off and you plug the USB cable. If you want to restore the battery offline charge functionality, just install through xRecovery the "xRecovery-charge-offline.zip" file; you will find it in the same official thread, at the bottom of the first main post!
STEP 5: THE JUST-IN-TIME COMPILATOR for your 2.1!
WHY THIS STEP: you will be able to enjoy better performance in everyday use of your X10 by installing a new kind of software compiler that Google has included in Android 2.2 Froyo (and next releases). On XDA developers have been able to make a port of this new kind of compiler on the standard Xperia 2.1 ROM. This compiler works in a quite different way because it performs the compiling procedure "as the software needs it", just in time. I would remember you that in ARC computer architecture, a compiler is a software module that translates high-level language in assembly language.
HOW TO DO:
Download the JIT Enabler v2.0 from its OFFICIAL THREAD ;
Don't unzip it but follow the instructions in the official thread to install it. You simply have to save the zip file on your SD Card, boot in xRecovery (restart the X10 and press any button during boot), than choose "install custom zip" and select this file. Installation will last a few seconds.
After installation, reboot the X10 choosing the rebooting option from xRecovery.
No panic: first reboot will require a lot of time!! Don't worry, leave your X10 working until the boot ends.
PAY ATTENTION!! Latest official SE firmware, always based on 2.1 Eclair Android OS, officially brings the dualtouch support. And, although Sony Ericsson ensures "it will work only in browser and Google Maps", it works everywhere!.
Thus, no need to perform STEP 6 and STEP 7. However, unfortunately I noticed that latest firmware ( .435) 's dual touch precision is worse than the one provided with STEP 6 and STEP 7. I also heard that the new firmware update that SE is releasing just in these days will bring a really improved dual touch system. We hope it!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 6: MULTITOUCH, WE WANT IT!!
WHY THIS STEP: really? are you seriously asking yourself why this step? Well, the multitouch (sorry, dualtouch...) is one of the most dreamed freature by every X10 user: it makes you able to use pinch-to-zoom on your beautiful 4'' LCD !
HOW TO DO: just follow the official tutorial HERE
STEP 7: A FULLY-ENABLED DUAL-TOUCH!
WHY THIS STEP: simply because multitouch update won't work in every application! Browser, google maps, Angry Birds,... Thus, with this tutorial you will be able to fully unlock it
HOW TO DO: just follow the official tutorial HERE
STEP 8: IMPROVE YOUR CAMERA
WHY THIS STEP: it overwrites the official camera apk with an optimized one that allow you to snap better pictures with improved details, reduce the shot time, improve a lot HD video quality (recuding a lot the stuttering suffered by X10 in videorecording...).
HOW TO DO: just follow the official tutorial HERE
I suggest you to backup the official camera apk file; in case of problem you can easily restore it. You can simply choose to rename it, for example, append to the name "_DELETED": you will "disable" the file because you changed its name. To restore it simply rename it deleting the modded one and removing the "_DELETED" extension. For this operation I highly suggest Root Explorer!
The new v7 version of this custom apk camera, that always applyes ONLY to stock SE 2.1 ROMs, is based on the stock apk camera file of latest SE firmware. It includes even better video captures, but requires a few more steps to be fully enabled: just have a deeper look at the first post of the official tutorial I have just linked! In fact, you just need to add a few more rows to build.prop file.
HOW CAN I EDIT BUILD.PROP? Here a fast sub-tutorial:
You can use RootExplorer, download it from the market. It only will work with root privileges
make sure you reach the directory in which build.prop is stored (it is saved into system directory)
press MountR/W button
long press on build.prop and choose "open in text editor"
Add the required rows, finally save & exit. And you've done everything!

STEP 9: SPEED, SPEED, SPEED! REMOVE UNUSEFUL APKs!
WHY THIS STEP: well, this is the step I like the most! Simply because it's the one that makes it possible to obtain a lot of speed increasing!!! The goal is to remove unused applications that usually runs in background draining your battery and slowing a lot your bright Snapdragon CPU
HOW TO DO:
Use Root Explorer; install it from the Market if you still don't have it;
I don't want you to remove applications; just move them to your SD cards. They will not be recognized anymore from Android OS and won't be executed. In other words, you remove it by creating a backup. If something goes wrong, if you miss any application functionality, you simply restore them on their original directory. Be sure to check permissions, when you restore: put a check, with Permission options of Root Explorer, of the first two items of first row if they are unselected!
With Root Explorer create a folder, for example name it "deleted" on SD card root; it will contain the backup copy of removed unused APKs;
With Root Explorer, move to system/app directory
Enable the Multi-select option in Root Explorer
SELECT THE FOLLOWING APKs:
EManual.apk
EManualLauncher.apk
FaceRecognition.apk
JapaneseIME.apk
LatinIME.apk
LearningClient.apk
OMAClientProvisioning.apk
PcCompanion.apk
playnowback.apk
playnowclient.apk
SEMCSetupWizard.apk
SEMCTouchPalKoreanQWERTY.apk
SetupWizard.apk
Stk.apk
moxiermail.apk
playnowappinstaller.apk
quadrapop.apk
wisepilot.apk
qcsemcservice.apk
SemcCheckin.apk
OmaDatasyncService.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Choose "Move";
Now reach the "deleted" folder you created before and choose "Paste".
Finished!! Now reboot your X10 and enjoy better free RAM and much more speed!!
I followed THIS GUIDEto suggest you the be(a)st APKs to remove. However, I missed some APKs for two reasons:
I WANT TIMESCAPE!
Removing some of the ones suggested in that thread, I was no more able to update my status and the splins on TimeScape
Well, I don't remove Chinese keyboard because I need it to write to my chinese friends here in Shanghai But you can add it to your custom removing list if you prefer!
Pay attention! Maybe now, due to any of that application removing, you won't be able anymore to sync facebook photos with your phonebook. Don't worry!! You can download and use the great SyncMyPix from Android Market. It will allow you to automatically sync every photo from your facebook contacts with a much higher quality than the stock Sony Ericsson application that works in your phonebook to sync these photos!!!
You can have a deeper look of all these APK HERE ; thanks to reindero2005 user for this useful link!
STEP 10: HOME SCREEN REPLACEMENT
WHY THIS STEP: simply because the stock homescreen and menu by SE are quite slow and usually stuttering. Thus, I suggest you to install LauncherPro and enable the 3D menu.
HOW TO DO:
Open Android Market and search launcherpro application;
Try the free version, it's more than enough. However, you can help its developer buying the full version and enjoying full options
Set it as default homescreen (it will be asked from Android OS after installation when you press the home button) and add all widgets and icons you want.
You may also choose a static desktop background: it will help you saving battery and menu will become a lot faster without an animated wallpaper. Try and choose, almost everything in your life it's up to you!
STEP 11: IMPROVE YOUR SOUND
WHY THIS STEP: to obtain a better, louder, crisper sound from your X10. From every hardware source: earphones, bluetooth audio devices, on-board speaker,...
HOW TO DO:
Just download (it is not free, buy it if you want ) Louder Volume Hack v4.1;
After installation, follow every initial step that the program will require.
Press on the big speaker icon on the screen, then select V6 & Revision2Files button and click Apply.
Wait until the software finishes, than on next screen choose buttons IC Loud, Headset Boost 1 and Bluetooth Boost 1, finally apply again
Reboot and enjoy a better higher sound, especially in earphones!!
STEP 12: SYSCTL, ADVANCED (BUT AUTOMATIC) KERNEL IMPROVEMENTS
WHY THIS STEP: sysctl is a free utility that allow to further improve your system responsiveness. Scrolling will be even faster (everything on the screen will better follow your finger during touch), applications will run faster and their opening time will be reduced. Not only!! After the right settings and tune-up of the software, your battery will do an huge smile because your X10's autonomy will exceed a lot!!
HOW TO DO:
search on the Market and download sysctl; it's free
after installation, search in your menu and open "Sysctl Config"
Set up the following:
- Check "Enable sysctl" option;
- Set "Min Free KBytes" to: 32568
- Set "Dirty Ratio" to: 5
- Set "Dirty Background Ratio" to: 3
- Set "VFS Cache Pressure" to: 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FINISHED! Maybe the easiest step, right? Now just reboot your phone
STEP 13: MINOR FINAL TWEAKS TO BUILD.PROP file
WHY THIS STEP: a few minor tweaks for further improvements of your android device!
HOW TO DO: you need to edit your build.prop file. Remember? I explained how to do it in STEP 8, in the quoted part of the text. Take a look here if you did not read it before these other steps and you will be ready to go!
Here you will found several "rows" that you have either to modify (if already present into default.prop file) or to add (if not present, of course). The BOLD part are the rows, while the Italic-style text is a description about them and you don't have, of course, to add/edit this part into your build.prop file because it's simply a description for you, to better understand what every single "command" does!
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000 phone will ring without delay when someone calls you
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=260 the operative system will check touchscreen inputs with more frequency (think about the interrupt interval), thus the scrolling will be smoother
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m and dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit which bring better cache management
mot.proximity.delay=150 : it makes the proximity sensor more responsive
You should already have these two values if you took a look at STEP 7: they are ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true and
ro.product.max_num_touch=2 . Make sure these two instructions are ALWAYS placed as last ones into build.prop file and no enter is present at the end of the file!
STEP 14: FURTHER SPEED-UP, FREE RAM MEMORY AND IMPROVE BATTERY LIFE
WHY THIS STEP: Thanks to the user PlayGunsta that has posted HERE a nice deep tutorial regarding this, it is possible to further increase the true performance of our device by installing two small programs and set-up them in a very easy and fast way! In a few words, the first APK module will allow you to make free around 100MB of the RAM of the X10 in any situation (and trust me, this immediatly translates in a smooth boost, without taking into account the Android memory management system and how it works...). Not only more free RAM: also an improved battery and an overall speed-up of your system.
After this tweak, try to open your Browser, TimeScape or MediaScape: all will seem damn fast
ALL CREDITS go to PlayGunsta and his THREAD, I just report his tweak here for your convenience
HOW TO DO:
PART 1 - Autokiller
Download THIS package, move it to your SD card and install, for example, with the help of ASTRO File Manager;
Open Autokiller (what you have just installed!);
In the Memory limits tab set the following:
Hidden app: 150
Content provider: 160
Empty app: 170
Press Apply (and allow for root access permissions);
Go to "Setting" and check that the option "Apply settings on boot" is checked!
Move to "Advanced system tweaks" and enable "Battery" and "Memory management" options;
Exit and return to your home screen, then reboot!
PART 2 - Autorun Manager
Download THIS package, move it to your SD card and install, for example, with the help of ASTRO File Manager;
Open Autorun Manager(what you have just installed!);
Focus only on the "Basic" tab of the software, and disable all the services that you don't use or, in general, are unuseful for your device. This will kill all uneeded background applications, will free more memory and will make available more CPU resources for the other running programs! For example, I have disabled "Software Update", "Anonymous Usage Stats", "Skype". You can also try with other services if you like!
Exit and return to your home screen, then reboot!
STEP 15: DRASTIC FURTHER STOCK APPS REMOVAL
WHY THIS STEP: Well, I have to say that I didn't need to perform this step because I love so much certain stock applications which are present in our X10. For example, how could I survive withouth Timescape? Imho it's simply the best social gadget I've played with until now! However, if you like to have a more Android-stock oriented smartphone, and want to remove further Sony Ericsson applications in a very safe way, this further step is just for you
Furthermore, it will give you the ability to remove core applications which can easily replaced with other ones -most of them free- from the Android Market.
HOW TO DO:
Just follow the instructions of STEP 9 , what you have to do is exactly the same. But, in this case, here the other applications that you can remove (if you don't need them, of course), withouth causing any problem to your phone. I would thank the user Ski-lleR that has mentioned them on this thread and already removed them without problems.
Here the list:
Browser.apk (it's the default browser, remove it if you want to replace with another one, for example Dolphin, Firefox, Opera,...)
Calculator.apk (the stock SE calculator)
Facebook.apk (the Facebook application, it shouldn't affect Timescape)
mediascape.apk (the official Sony Ericsson music player)
MediascapePluginManager.apk (component of MediaScape)
officesuite.apk (the trial office suite)
Timescape.apk (here Timescape APK with its modules and themes all safe to remove)
Timescape.apk
TimescapePluginManager.apk
TimeScapeProvider.apk
TimescapeThemeBlue.apk
TimescapeThemeGreen.apk
TimescapeThemeIndigo.apk
TimescapeThemeOrange.apk
TimescapeThemeSakura.apk
trackid.apk (the software needed to recognize songs by just let the phone hearing them from an external source)
Youtube.apk (of course, the YouTube application)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, as I said, I didn't remove them and if you keep them only TimeScape, especially on very low speed networks, will cause sometimes the phone to lag a bit. It's up to you to decide. And, in case you are not pretty sure, just move these applications, as I explained in step 9, to another folder and see what happens to the operative system without them. In case you miss them, just restore with a cut-paste in the original folder to enjoy their functionalities again
STEP 16: REMOVE BOOT SCREEN ANIMATION TO SPEED-UP BOOT
WHY THIS STEP: If you don't care too much to graphics and animated SE boot screen logo, you can remove this capability and save some time during the boot procedure. I would thank the user basisnederland that has suggested to include this step in the guide. Really thank you and thanks everybody for the tons of feedbacks and suggestions that help me to make this guide better and better
HOW TO DO: Using for example RootExplorer, you just have to delete the file called startupanimation.zip situated into the directory media. The result is a sensible improvement on cold boot!
STEP 17: SD CARD TRANSFER RATES (READ&WRITE) SPEED-UP
WHY THIS STEP: Well, in my case only improvements with benchmark tests and not too much in real daily use. But at least you should have a try to this mod, it sounds really interesting
Since a couple of weeks, here on XDA more than one developer suggested scripts and mod (to flash with xRecovery or to create with a notepad and put inside the ROM) to reach a simple goal: adjust the size of the cache of the SD memory card in order to obtain better performances in terms of read and write transfer rates.
The operation of modding was not so easy for non expert users, until Diego Stamigni, an Italian developer (I am Italian too and so I am glad for this ^_^ ) has created a very easy-to-use tool to perform this operation!
Before and after you perform this step, please measure the read and write speed of your SD Card in terms of MegaBytes per second (MB/s) with a benchmark tool called SD Tools that you can find on the Android Market to see how much the improvement is!
HOW TO DO:
A few very simple steps to follow:
Download from Android Market the software SD Tools and install it
Run the benchmark with the stock parameters (remember that Android set SD Cache to 128KB) and look at the result; you will see quite low reading and writing speed for your SD card!
Now download and install from the market SD Speed Increase, thus set the cache of SD card in 2048KB and press Apply. Of course, you can try other values and every time start SD Tools bench to see which one best fits for your memory card, according to the brand, the Class speed and the NAND type
After applying the tweak, see the improvement with SD Tools!
This tweak will automatically apply to every boot of the smartphone, so after you perform it just enjoy the speed increase without remember to do anything next time you reboot your X10
... AND NOW? WHAT SHOULD I GET AND EXPECT FROM MY SLIGHTLY MODDED X10?
The answer to this question is very simple: much speed!!! One time I executed Linpack I got 34.4 MFLOPS as score. But usually is around 32.5 / 33. A very good result for the stock ROM. However, I want to focus to a more important point: it doesn't matter the number of a benchmark, it matters the real speed that you are able to appreciate everytime you use your smartphone. Now you will se everything work much faster, you will say "WOW" maybe (yes, I did it too...) =P

CONCLUSION AND FINAL WORDS
I hope you appreciate my modest guide. It is addressed to newbies like me ( ) that want more performance from their SE standard ROM.
I will check and try to update this guide as more news come, however you can always help me to reach this goal and suggest all the mistakes I made writing this tutorial
Thank youuuuu ^^
Wow, PaVi90.
wow, nice work.
Thank you guys
Well done!
great job, very helpful
I thought, I've done great with my phone, I just learned that I still have to do two more steps, from what I read from here...
Great guide. Thanks...
excellent and thanks for the guide...
hello, see you soon
Hi everybody,
I am more than glad to hear that you found my guide useful! =) Thank you!!
Have already done all of this, but that is the best explanation of what enabling JIT does that I've seen.
Learned a little bit, thanks!
Delete Timescape ....fullstop
ur done. ur x10 will b fast
Very nice guide, thanks!!!
Great guide!!!
I have do it on my x10i but i have some problems.
- after xrecovery setup i can't charge offline the phone beacouse whenever i connect the microusb cable the phone turn on.

Hi,
I try to answer
1) The "problem" of wake-up during charge is due to xRecovery. It changes the "way" the phone boots and thus also during charge the X10 will power on;
2) Did you check and install latest firmware BEFORE rooting? If you already have the latest firmware, don't upgrade otherwise you will lost all your customizations!

You're welcome!!
I did this basic setup for my woot acquired GTAB. The primary reason was to keep the stock ROM but get the fully functional Android Market. I wanted to give these instructions out to real newbies who may want to do the bare minimum to keep their TAB up and running with all apps and without doing a flash with custom ROM. I wanted to include a more step by step for people who are less tech savvy so please bear with the details if you are a tech guy.
1. Get the Over The Air update to update to 3588. The OTA push happens automatically if you have connectivity (wifi is setup). You can also check it via the updates app that should have come with the stock ROM.
2. Download the enhancement pack - TnT Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=74HGJNEL to your desktop or laptop. The file name should be TnT_Enhancement_3389_v3_1_4b.rar
3. Try opening the file using winzip or any zip program. If it doesn't install winrar version available at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html.
4. Extract contents to a local folder on your computer using the zip/ winrar program. It has files update.zip, a recover folder that contains a command file
5. Connect your TAB to the computer with the min-usb cable and activate the usb transfer (I think it comes up with that option)
6. GTAB should show up as another drive in your system. With windows explorer browse this drive to locate the "sdcard" folder.
7. Copy the update.zip and recover (containing command file) folder from the location you extracted on your computer (step 4) into the sdcard folder identified on step 6.
8. Power off
9. Power on by pressing and holding the volume + button and the power button simultaneously.
10. The TAB should show a open box screen in a few seconds and after some time should turn back on to the main screen with new apps installed. You should see the market apps icon as well
11. Do the market fix remedy to see all applications in the market by steps below. I added an alternate market fix (if you don't see all apps)
a) Run market
b) Open settings->applications->system applications
c) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market
d Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data
e) Run market and confirm you get an error
f) Reboot
g) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications
h) If this doesn't work, look at the directions again and make sure you follow them exactly
Alternate market fix Steps - I haven't tested this but looks like a few extra steps (You need Titanium Backup installed and have opened Market and surfed around a bit. Thanks to blackjaguar who pointed to this)
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market
The above steps are detailed in another thread
The below steps are the bare action items from this detailed link

I just got my gtab from woot and basically wanted the same thing you did: the stock gtab plus the market. I followed your directions after spending the last week reading the massive amounts of posts on this forum. The only thing I did differently was installing CWM between steps 1 and 2, and repartitioning to the recommended 2048/0. It seemed like most people end up having to do that at some point. Your market fix however, didn't work at all for me. There's another fix posted by tsm26 that worked great for me. Its slightly different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12563333&postcount=4400
The only app I still can't find in the market is Firefox, but luckily its available from ftp.mozilla.org.
EDIT: Just got the acore process problem, and had no contacts or /data/data folder at all. Used this fix and the problem is gone. Looks like it works for TnT Enhanced as well:

from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.

I am going to update this with alternate market fix for anyone who is interested. Thanks.
Step 6 confused?
Just received my gtab and following your steps to install this upgrade, however after connecting gtab to laptop I see 4 folders at the root of "E:" when browsing through windows. I assume that "E:" is the sdcard directory and these folders are located in it. The folders I can see in this directory under the windows "E:" drive are - .android_secure, Android, DCIM & LOST.DIR. However if I browse to the "sdcard" folder using the file explorer on my gtab I don't see the .android_secure folder, but do see a folder called "update.zip", that I don't see when browsing the "E:" drive in windows. Now I am really confused? Do I delete or rename the "update.zip" directory currently residing in the "sdcard" directory on the gtab and then copy over the recover and update.zip folders that I just downloaded?
My tap ui version is 1.1-3389.
Are there any suggestions?
I think you need to disable the USB sharing and you will see the files.
This worked like a charm. I decided not to root and mod, at least for now, so getting the market is great. I didn't show the sdcard directory, but I had update and an empty recovery directory, so I just replaced them (after copying the old update.zip). It wiped out the photos and videos apps on my main screen, but I found some interesting replacements. And the market fix worked great too.
But I still can't find Words With Friends... Just checked the market from my laptop and it thinks it's not compatible with my device. Oh well.
I followed the instructions to the T and the market wont work... someone please help!!!!!
The first set of instructions did not work for me, but the alternate set did work. I now appear to have a full market. Awesome!
Just for the record, I am running the stock ROM updated to the latest VS release.
EDIT: Whoops, spoke too soon. No apps will download from the Market. When I try to download a free app, I get a "Starting download..." message but that's it. I'm also doing this at work... I think port 5228 might be blocked. Is this the reason? I will attempt from home tonight...
Help!

I've gotten to this point, but how long is some time, it has never turned back on to the main screen and now really won't boot at all, just goes to a blank screen and sit there.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated! Hope I haven't done something terribly wrong!
Spoke too soon?
Maybe I spoke too soon. Doing the market fix got me a lot more on the market, but there's still a lot of apps that I can't get. So many devs put their apps in market and nowhere else. Don't they realize that this is not itunes? (BTW, I've hit web sites that send me to itunes to download their apps...) How many other devices has google not approved for the market and are stuck like this? Even Firefox is undownloadable on my Android. Is that really the market fix or should I be able to access more?
So frustrating, but finally something seems to work
OK, new theory. Apparently I had to do the market fix twice. I also followed the video on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9817939&postcount=17
That's not the gtab, so it looks a little different in the menus, but the steps still worked. I guess it threw in an extra step of clearing cache on market and force stopping it before stopping google services framework. Well, Firefox doesn't show up in market, but so far everything else does. Now I have to try to remember everything I've been trying to download.
I had to do the Market fix twice, but that was no sweat.
Perfect, gunajay; thank you very much for your concise directions.

Everything is working great using this Enhancement Pack and Market Fix. My question is whether my gTab is still considered stock with these changes? The forum messages about the new firmware update all caution against applying it if you are running an alternate firmware from 3588. I don't know if I am under the Enhancement Pack and Market Fix scenario or not.
no sdcard - help please
Hello all, found this post and as a complete newbie I was excited to see what the GTAB could be transformed into. Not quite ready for custom ROMS so I figured I'd start with Clockworkmod and trying to install the standard android market.
Problem is when I hook up my gtab I don't see an "sdcard" folder... Anybody have any ideas why that would be? How do I work around it?
I have the following folders:
.android_secure
Android
clockworkmod
DCIM
download
kindle
LOST.DIR
Master
Music
Photos
recovery
Videos
update.rar
Thanks in advance for your help!
Will this work with 4349?
Does anyone know if gunajay's instructions will work with with Stock 4349 and Market?

SDCARD is the folder that is mounted on your computer when you connect via USB. The list above are the contents of your SDCARD.
Doh. ;-) That worked. Thank you very much for the explanation K J Rad!
I recently flashed my Viewsonic UPC300-2-2 with VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 using ClockWorkMod 0.8 using this process.
I have been working with the gTablet for several days and most everything is working very well. Specifically, I can;
1. Play compressed MPEG-4 (FFmpeg) movies
2. Sync ITunes (with Market app) and play files with stock player
3. Use wireless WAN, wireless LAN (access files on home PC), and wired USB connections
4. Access Market and install several games, Adobe Flash 10.2, live wallpapers, widgets and more.
5. Open and Edit (but not create) Word, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF type files
6. Download and read Market books
7. Very fast application launch and execution
However, I have had problems with the SDcard2 slot and a few other areas, as these observations indicate;
1. CWM skips SD backup - When running CWM backup, near the end of the backup process, I see the message 'SD-EXT not found', 'skipping backup'. I don't know if this is referring to the USB slot or to the SDcard2 slot.
2. Formatting SD corrupts system partition - when inserting my 4GB SDcard2, the system didn't initially recognize it and recommended formatting. The same card was NTFS formatted and had just been viewed on an XP machine, so I know it was working. At any rate, nothing was on the card, so I let the gTablet format it. I continued to use the gTablet, but when I ultimately rebooted, I could not boot and saw only the new animated ROM logo screen (the first thing you see on boot) flash over and over endlessly. I tried clearing cache, clearing user settings, and even reinstalling RC1. Nothing worked. However, when I repartitioned (2048,0), then the system began working again and I went back to reinstalling all my applications and re-personalizing the system.
3. SDcard2 files are being erased. I can't be certain when this occurs, but I've seen three occasions; after using CWM to backup, after rebooting in general, and after performing disk operations (create/delete folders, copy files) using a file manager. Note the files only are erased and not the containing folder - answer; I found a post to add an empty file called ".nomedia" to the root of any folder containing media. I did this by creating a new file using ES File Manager on the tablet. This worked in that I no longer lose files, but it didn't work in that Gallery and my Video players no longer can find these files. I also read that copying media files from SDcard to SDcard2 would prevent lost files. This is not the case. Copying media files from anywhere to SDcard2 will result in loss upon boot (unless .nomedia file resides on SDcard2).
4. Files readable after SD Hot remove - SDcard2 cannot be removed without unmounting (via settings, storage). This doesn't cause system failures, but what I observed is that the SDcard2 contents, after card is removed, are still accessible. I can view/play files that are no longer there. I assume there is a cache for the SDcard2 that is responsible for this behavior.
5. SD insert on Standby crashes system - SDcard2 cannot be inserted when gTablet is in Standby. If I do, then I cannot resume with one short press to the power button. The system instead performs a full reboot.
6. Screen lock turns into a reboot - Standby cannot resume after long periods, even if plugged in to AC. I've seen as little as a couple hours later, the system will not resume and must be fully rebooted.
7. Sound levels are low. When playing music or video with the stock players, I need to turn the volume to max to be heard through the built in speakers.
8. Force stop message is displayed for certain applications when the gTablet is resumed from Standby. I have seen this for Google Maps and Words with Friends only so far, if these programs are left running when the gTablet is put into Standby. Thoughts are this might be related to the wireless connection? - answer; this not related to Market problem, as I originally thought. I did several changes; I loaded VTL.Launcher 1.6.2, set wireless to never off during screen saver (advanced wireless settings), and installed the latest PERSHOOT kernel. The launcher may have solved the forced stop, but since I cannot duplicate the problem, I cannot be sure. Since it works now, I'll let that sleeping dog lie.
9. Gallery displays duplicate icons for the same file, after I copy a file over the USB link to either SDcard or SDcard2. If I try to delete an icon within Gallery, the source file is deleted, but Gallery continues to display the 2nd icon. The icon continues to display the photo miniature, and when selected, will display the photo full size. I assume this photo is cached somewhere since the source was deleted? - answer; I found a post here to clear media cache & reboot; go to Menu> Applicaions> Manage Applications> All> Media Storage> Clear Data. Reboot.
10. Clock 'option bar' is not visible. When I select the clock icon from the 'app drawer' (all application icons) view off home page, then the Clock application displays date and time and weather full page on the screen with an option bar at the bottom. However, these options aren't accessible because the home page task bar is presented on top of this, covering half of the clock option bar horizontally. It looks like the clock options are alarm, tunes, and home.
11. Button Registration - Sometimes (frequently) finger-to-screen registration isn't working and buttons do not respond - answer; I've found that gojimi has a tool that is much, much easier than calibration.ini. Find his tool here.
12. Command response sluggish - Sometimes (rarely) the gTablet seems to stall when responding to button pushes before application launches.
I've read other posts enough to suspect the SDcard2 isn't working on RC1, but was working perfectly for prior ROM versions. In my opinion, the problem seems to be cache related for this SDcard2, and something the OS does to media files only upon boot.
1. Normal behavior
2. NTFS is not supported by android
3. The only fix is .nomedia and yes it tells android not to look in those directories for media so it won't erase them. It's a bug
4. What?
5. Don't do that
6. This is a well known bug maybe solved with a custom kernel
7. Depends on the rom and the video player
8. Standby on tablet is different that a phone. Standby is a deep sleep not just screen off
9. Reboot
10. don't know
11. search "calibration.ini"
12. see answer 11
In gingerbread the internal sdcard is "emmc" and the external is "sdcard". On Froyo internal in sdcard and external is sdcard2. Some gingerbread roms have made the cards act like froyo however
Thanks, I will follow your references and report back to original post what I find out as an answer for others.
Also,
2. the NTFS was reformatted by Android to (FAT32??) whatever Android requires. The real problem I saw was that when formatting SDcard2, the reformatting process corrupted the system partition. The gTab still operated until I rebooted, then I experienced boot loops, and had to repartition.
4. Exactly! But, I'll follow your advice for #5
6. I'll search too, but if you have time, can you explain the differences in function between Kernel, ROM, OS and Hardware? I'm thinking of a system architecture diagram/flow or description.
9. Yes, if I reboot, the ghost icons are removed. However, if I again copy a photo from my XP machine over USB link to gTab, to a 'pictures' folder at the root of SDcard, then Gallery again shows two Icons groups for each picture.
2. Don't format sdcard in tablet. I just don't trust it.
6. When you install a rom you are installing the OS and the kernel. You can install custom kernels on top of that to replace the stock kernel. Try Pershoots latest and make sure you use the correct version...froyo and gingerbread.
9. I call it an Android bug. It needs a reboot to flush the cache
Hey xda-developers,
It's me Gio, and I made a tutorial for you guys on how to get Android 5.0.2 on Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo but then the correct way.
First of all, me or the developers that made this ROM and the developers who made the other stuff are not responsible for any damage, this is completely your choice if something screws up. I don't think that something will happen but you will never know what happens. And second, I would like to thank the developers (flex1911, MatheusAlves and the others who made the project).
Tutorial:
1. Make a backup of all your data that is laying in your device. Think for example about important text messages, contacts, photos, or something else.
2. Make sure that you will be able to restore that backup after. So put it in your microSD card or on the computer.
3. Download the new ROM from the link which you can locate below this tutorial.
4. Place it in your device and boot your device into TWRP or CWM. Personally I find TWRP much more handy but your choice.
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik.
6. Flash this ROM and if you have any other zip to flash (like a Dolby extension or Google Apps), do it after flashing this ROM.
7. Wipe cache and dalvik one more time to avoid errors.
8. Reboot your device and wait till you see the homescreen.
9. Download Wake Lock and install it on your device. (If you are going to install it from APK4Fun for example, you probably need to accept unknown sources from Security in Settings).
10. Open Wake Lock when it is installed and tick the PARTIAL~WAKE~LOCK. This is important to avoid numerous reboots, don't forget to enable it again after every reboot since it may dropout when your turn off your device.
11. Download keylayout.rar from the link which you can locate below this tutorial.
12. Unrar it, and copy the keylayout folder to your device.
13. On your device, open up the Files app.
14. Go to the hamburger menu left above and then go to the gear icon which is the settings.
15. Go to General and then scroll to advanced, and then tick on the first setting of advanced and change it to root modus.
16. SuperUser is going to ask you for permission, accept it.
17. Locate now your keylayout folder and then copy the whole folder.
18. Go back to the hamburger menu and you will see home with under it this symbol "/", tick it and go then to /system/ and then /usr/.
19. You will probably notice that there is already a folder named keylayout, just do nothing with it, you will now paste the folder you copied earlier just there and if it askes to merge and overwrite, just accept it.
20. When it is done, reboot your device and your home button will work again.

Thanks for reading and I hope that you are helped after reading this. Again, if you want to thank me, only do it for the cleared up tutorial, the people who made the ROM and the fixes are the ones who you should thank actually!
Whuuuuu
Thank you man !!
but this Rom is different from Flex rom !?
waiting for the stable version
we want to fix the sound recorder problem :'(
waiting for more success : الضحك:
Well, something it's something. Do you have can fix any other bug? Like the problem with theming or App2sd, you should also find a solution to those bugs.
