I've got the same version from SEUS, so guessing the latest.

I have a few queries, please some one clarify
1) In the lock screen there are few lines like "This phone belongs to", An alaram icon and "protested by antivirus". Can we able to change these?
2) While charging there is a battery icon in lock screen that shows battery level but after charging its not showing. Is there any way to show these.
3) Is there anyway to edit Status switch widget. I need only few from that.
4) I am actually using only 4 home screens, is there anyway to edit and remove the last one like in ADW launcher.
5) User guide is not working "Cannot find user guide on memory card ....." But I did not delete it and user guide is still showing in Ti backup. How to fix that.

I just figured it out there.
It's now the middle 'home' key instead.
So it's Home, Back, Back, Home, Back, Home, Home, Back.

Is your X10 first hand? Did you install any antivirus app from the market?.. and there's another app which can add that line to the home screen, forgot the name.
i deleleted few apps and landed being not able to boot into the phone... luckily my phone was recognised thru SEUS , so did a repair / reinstall of the firmware.. now everything is fine including the power button press....
the root was also fine ...

Guess, I can help you with that.
1. Go to your main menu and open AntiVirus App.
2. Click menu key on your phone (the physical key left to home key) and click on 'Settings'.
3. Go to 'Remote Management' and click 'Lost Message'.
4. You can edit the 'Text before' and 'Text after' in there and look at the preview how will it look on lock screen.
Mine now reads -
WELCOME

Adobe Flash 10.1 ?
Hey,
Has anyone tried installing Flash yet?
Found this old thread for the dev versions of Flash 10.1 (I know general release is for 2.2), but thought this may work?
www dot addictivetips dot com/ mobile/ how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
Anyone with 2.1 wanna give this a whirl?
(I'm tempted to flash to generic Nordic, but rumors have the generic UK in 2 weeks, so may just wait...)
Thanks!

I've Xperia X8 Rooted on Stock 2.1 update 1
I know there are alot of themes and this and that, But I don't want to get messy, I just want to replace the image with one of my own, please provide a tutorial link , thanks...
Try this one:
If you want to change your wallpaper, press the menu button when you are on the home screen. Tap 'change wallpaper' and select a picture.

I have no stock rom anymore, so I could not confirm if it works. At least it sounds plausible.
lolz, u noob
LOL at second post
Maybe if look in framework res folder and find the background image, you can replace it with your own (remember to keep the same file name and resolution). Sounds kinda difficult though.

How to save orgenaized pages before installing a new rom

hey guys,
is there a way i can save the current pages (the folders and stuff) so after i install a new rom i can restore the settings and all my pages will be organized just like before?
I saw that i can restore the data from a previous nandroid backup but that will also restore other system apps and settings which might cause problems right?

If its a NO WIPE rom then stuff is saved as it was .

are you talking about launcher home pages? If so then use a third party launcher like nova as they generally have a backup facility for layout and widgets and folders

I see you did not say .
Wipe phone flash new rom .
CWM Nandroid backup restore DATA only will return the apps folders layout etc .
But their is no real way of knowing if any of the apps or settings you have restored on to new firmware are 100% compatible with the new firmware .
More likely to be ok if not jumping OS to a latter version like ICS to JB .

On the home screen you will see tools folder, open it then find permission (the icon like paper script) open that then choose manage root permission

I did that but it doesnt work , Also I flashed the superuser in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997581
It always says superuser deny the apps.
Also regaridng battery I see you mention that it stays for only 5 hours , it stays with me for 20 hours with regular conditions & I am using battery deffender.
If I have any other comments I will mention it but we must root it
Again thanks for the good job
This rom is already pre-rooted no need to flash any thing as we generally do in stock roms.......
I think you have flashed some superuser.....so i think you need to re- flash the rom-(***do make a clean rom flash asper rom developer***)
Now after rom instal just instal root explorer......
Now as soon as u open root explorer a menu popup will apear it is just like superuser pop up ...(only the diffrence is this pop up will apear for 20sec...and contains so many warning message all u need to click next every time) (****refer attached images ****)
After this step you can see root folder .....
For every application which asks for root permission. U need to do this .....

I followed what jyeshta001 mentioned and it goes fine with me.
The point now that the screen turnes with some colors ( you can enter VPN and you will see it ). also it is very laggy and it make many restarts. aslo headset problem still exists,the automatic brightness & buttons lighting during press on it.
I have a question abour RAM as most of time it works with 100MB free only ( can we make any thing with that )
Finally Thanks to jyeshta001 for his replay.
Thanks to nom051205 for the rom and we hope to see further development
I have some time to support but I dont have any experince in roms editing so if you can advice with some links I could support.
Best regards

(QUOTE=sherifaly;32178538)
Use rom tool box pro / a strong startup manager so that u can control unwanted application running form the begining for startup.....
For head set one use a wedget called "toggle to head set" from playstore.
For lagness use any CPU tool like set CPU and set frequency as "1xx to 1xxx " and the governor to "on demand" (but drains battery)
For button lights "root dim " aPK. Will help u to some extend ......
For random colours on screen we will have to w8 "Nom bro" will bring a patch ....soon .....

ro.product.model=GT-N7000

Now check ur market compatability .... if this is not working then change the model number and manufacture name to some other one..... on above lines....
