Glad it worked for you guys. It's not working for me. I run the .bat fine, but after it's done and I start up the phone, it goes into an endless loop of trying to boot up.

I've been considering buying an X10, but with no multitouch... how do you guys play games like NOVA or games that need multitouch?

Can anyone explain to me what the purpose is behind rooting the X10? I already have 2.1 on the phone, but I'm wondering what this rooting offers in addition.

Yea, I was just reading about it. I'm using Barnacle for wifi tethering. Is there any other app that's useful that can take advantage of root?

Check and uncheck the "usb debugging mode" box a couple of times in your phone options while its looping, it should take care of that.

Found the SE UI pretty slow overall compared to 1.6 (even after a several reboots and a few days of use), had to resort to using Launcher Pro. Anyone else notice this?

People have said that 2.1 will be laggy for the first half hour or so. I never really noticed it myself. 2.1 so far has been more responsive than 1.6.

OT, has anyone noticed in their status bar, for the data icon, it says "H" sometimes? On 1.6, it used to say "3" or "3G" I think. On 2.1, it seems to alternative from "E", to "H", to "3G". I'm guessing that's Edge, HSDPA, and 3G network access. I don't remember when I had 1.6 it ever using HSDPA; never saw an "H" pop up.

HSDPA = 3G?

Still waiting for them to crack the damn bootloader so we can finally throw a proper HTC Sense rom on there. I hate SE so bad.

You guys like how the dialpad vibrates and there's no way to shut that shit off? How bout the fact that you're forced to use the new SMS interface that lags like a bitch?

edit: I wouldn't even mind the vibration on dialing numbers if it weren't for the fact that it lags so badly that it's like *dialdialdial* BZZ-ZZ-Z-ZZZ-Z.

from experience, HTC sense isn't all that great either, though it does offer some benefits that SE doesn't have. The vanilla Android UI offers much more flexibility.

I think a lot of people @ first don't like vanilla android ---> go try out HTC/SE/Samsung/Moto UI--> come full circle back to vanilla.

You end up finding that these Skin UI's just cause lag, and get boring to look at afterawhile

I use Handcent SMS. I just disable notifications in SE's own Messaging program, so I only see Handcent SMS notifications upon receiving a text message.
