Those on 510 firmware did you notice the display does not completely goes dark/black when off?? Or is this the effect of xreality display engine? I notice it only this morning if you look at it closely.

How can I do this without damaging the dock? I have tried to take out the bottom plate but scared I might apply to much force to it.
*
Just use a thin flat end screwdriver n lift off 3 corners will do. Use a pincer to pull out the cable. One end is screw but it will easily snap back. Don't use too much force as is not necessary. My dock still looks perfect n it doesn't show sign of back being removed. You need to remove also the top holder by just inserting the screwdriver at any end n lift slightly up. Try lah n is quite easy

If this is too much hassle just buy the cable only from dx-box n I have posted the link too. Check n google it in this thread. It cost about us$20+ n my unit expected to be received this week. It takes more than 2 weeks to be in.
I will use this spare cable in my car

I notice that there is two holes, do you mean that i need to insert the flat end screwdriver in order to take out the bottom plate. Sigh.. quite difficult to do it without pictures. Anyway thanks for the lengthy explanation.

Why you need pictures? Just slide in the screwdriver n lift it. So simple stuff n how can this be difficult??
I am old chap late fifties with failing eyesight n shaky hands n I can easily do it. Why not you unless you are in worser condition than me

Just rooted the 510 firmware . Tested and working well with Adaway, root explorer n Titanium Backup
Steps :
Use flashtool n flash Generic HK kernel ftf
Use VRoot 1.6 to root
Use flashtool n flash Generic Taiwan kernel ftf
Optional ( which I did ) : download from playstore and install chainfire SuperSU to replace Chinese SU

Details are here :

Hi, Benny,

Can you show me how to replace to Chainfire SuperSU step.

I not really sure on this. I try before download the Chainfire SuperSU, it do success update binary but it keep prompting every time when I open it, and it won't set it as default.

And the root gone if I later I remove that vroot app using Titanium Backup.
* Is that I need push the Chainfire version as system apps after install? When I need to replace this root? Before or after I flash back the Taiwan kernel?

Appreciate much. smile.gif
*
I installed it after flashing the Taiwan kernel ftf. This chainfire supersu seems to take over as default as I no longer see the chinese SU being prompted and I just leave it in the system. I did not bother to uninstall it

Oh, during in .475, after I install Chainfire SuperSU, the system still use Chinese SU as default. Hmm...

I want to remove that Chinese SU as that vRoot Chinese SU beside root, it also auto run in background silently startup apps optimization, I don't want that feature run in the phone.

I try stop all (click one by one) to prevent the apps let optimize, by doing so, certain apps became force close, this include YouTube and also Stamina Mode, and it is hardly to stop all, certain apps cannot stop even after restart the phone. So I suspicious about that optimize thing, thus I want complete remove that Chinese app.
*
I will observe any such interference further. So far all app needing root works well. Chainfire SU only prompt one time only when you use the app first time.
I don't see any app optimization yet in rebooting

You go check that chinese app in the phone, it will show, and everytime when install new app, it will prompt want optimize or not.

I not sure it will behave like that for you or not since you mention it already take over by Chainfire version.

I did last time it never take over.

You just install from Play Store without do anything after that? Not push as system app or whatever?
*
I don't get you. I just install a few new app n never got any prompt about optimization
I just download n install directly from playstore
I don't see any need to push to system since is working with after install
Why don't you try
According to xda you can use vroot to uninstall n root seems working too after that

btw, if u dn have issues with the hong kong kernel, means ur .510 firmware must be not complete..coz when i got on tht HK kernel (which was meant for .475) my Xperia and several other service are failing to start
*
If you use the HK kernel on the Taiwanese firmware I noted that wiFi will fail n exfat card not supported. The HK kernel used just to root the phone

Completely unnecessary in android n some more so for this high specs phone. Google why it is not necessary. Using those app will only make your phone worser performance. Don't ever use task killers too n.you can also Google why not necessary
This is not windows n don't think like it perform as windows os

Sorry I can't help much and I also no idea how much.

I only know screen replacement for Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II is around RM 600 ++

Xperia Z replacement was about rm1000!!! Crazy expensive

Any root user here?
I need to know Standby time before I root my xzu.
Anyone?
*
Why would root affect standby time??
Different people uses their phone differently. So another person standby will definitely be different from yours.
I used more than 80% of the phone on Internet related stuffs ( browsing, email, Facebook, tweeter, RS's newsreel etc) n mainly on 3g most of the time.
I am never bother with the standby time as it changes daily. I charge my phone at worst once every 2 days n so standby is never a issue.
This is mine as of now
