Halo guys! Today I successfully rooted my x10 with the help if XperiaX10iUser.
Since this is my first rooted device, I know very little about which apps are awesome that require a ROOTED x10.
Please try to arrange the apps in a list format.

Did you try rooting via the method here:

yes, but changing zip into apk gives me a parcing error and unzip it give me all files which i have no clue where to put them (i have a mac and see .exe files so rooting through a computer is not an option)...as i said before, I am better in graphics than in this kind of work....any help will be appreciated, in the other topic I only found "yes it is working" Okay, that makes me officially a noob, but anyway....
Is there anyone who has the apk for this??

It's not meant to be an apk that you install onto the phone.
(1) Download the file onto your PC and unzip it.
(2) Enable USB Debugging mode on your phone.
(3) Connect the phone to your PC.
(4) Click on the "SuperOneClick" file in the unzipped folder.
(5) Click on the "Root" button.
(6) Wait until it says that root is successful.
(7) Unplug your phone from the PC and manually reboot it.
(8) Your phone is unrooted!

thanks, I will get a laptop from my work this evening and try.
So (yes I am a noob) should I downloading this file on the phone or on the computer??

You should be downloading it to a PC and running it from there.
Oh, I forgot to add that you need to reboot your phone manually before it is detected to be rooted.

okay;

Has Anyone tried this yet?? Please help.

You can now Root your Sony Ericsson X10 and Sony Ericsson X10 mini with one click. All you have to do is to download this free application from our forums Android app section and the one-click installer will do all the work for you!
http://dailymobile.se/2010/08/09/android-root-your-sony-ericsson-x10-and-x10-mini-with-one-click/
I wonder if i should go ahead with it or not/?? and what will be the benefit and disadvantages?

I rooted my X10a using that app yesterday. Install the apk from that link and run it. It installed one other app (superUser Permission). All I did is click on Root button. I didn't even have to restart the phone.
Then to check if it really rooted I went to Market and downloaded and installed "Titanium Backup". The installation had problem that said somethink like it needs busybox #@(#@(#. It asked if I want to download it. I choose yes and the backup now works.
Soon I will be removing some of the SE crap that came with the phone.

mikfroyo 4.5 rom

Hi guys I've been rooted since Dec, 27 for WiFi tether and last night took the plunge with mikfroyo Rom. I love it but I miss Sprint tv. When I go to the removed apps folder and click Sprint tv to install it says not installed .. can someone please help me or point me in the right direction thanks alot..
use adb to push it or even flipz hero kitchen still works on the evo, you can push it to system/app that way. you could also manually copy/paste the apk in system/app from within root explorer.

root only apps.?

hello, just rooted my phone, can anyone recommend some root only apps, they are finding useful, please would most appreciate it.

thanks will have a look, why havent you rooted yet, quiet a few options now to root, had mine done in under 2 minutes, and yet am terrible when it comes to rooting.
titanium backup (can remove some useless stock apps: PostCard, Chinse Keybord, BBC playr ...; freezes some apps that you dont use: SE sync, TimeScape ..., and move apps to sd: XP games other than the stock one, FPSE ...)
busybox
adFree
sd speed increase (it really works!!)
To ad some more:
Screenshot apps.
Fontchanger.
Root explorer (filemanager).
Terminal emulater (changing/overwriting/modding/moving files in /system/).
Widget locker (does work without root, but gives you an option to work better with root permission).
Metamorph (don't know if it works on the XP or without unlocked bootloader).
Regards Dousan...

If you root you can delete a lot of standard installed apps, removing them safes battery life significantly in my experience.

You can uninstall Market with Root uninstall(you need to be rooted) and then install the OLD version.

Dont do this when decrapfying your toy!

hi guys! Im new on the forum
Ok, i rooted my galaxy tab 8.9. Then i tried decrapfying my tab, including some system apps: talkback, talk, email, exchange services and ap and stock widgets.
Everything seemed has gone smooth, except now, the Social hub cashes!! seems like it tries to access email database. Can you guys help me and send me the email.apk and email.odex files please? I think the files from both 10.1 or 8.9 work as well.
I also hope that noone after me will delete email.apk as well Cheers!

Are you rooted? Did you make a nandroid backup?
NEVER delete any system apps, just freeze them with Titanium Backup, a much faster and easier to recover option.
Are you not able to re-flash it?

As far as i know, there is no ROM or firmware for galaxy 8.9 available yet, so i cant reflash now.
I also received from a friendly forums member the email.apk file, but i couldnt install the app (in the files manager i clicked on the apk and selected install but it ended with a "installation failed" message).
Is there any experienced member who can help me?
Just use root explorer to move it into your system/app folder
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
no, i have tried it, it doesnt help, since it's not installation.
Do a full wipe and start over I guess...and dont forget to do a nandroid backup this time
but how can i do a full wipe since theres no ROM available for 8.9 yet? Or im i missing something?
Best I can do is a copy of the email.apk off my 10.1, good luck with your Tab.

This is exactly why I got a 10.1 instead of 8.9.... I was afraid I'd botch something before help was readily available. Great to see things went well anyway thanks to the folks here.
