Official Skype now works on X10 Mini / Mini Pro

I hope all you Skype users are aware that Skype launched an official app that supports the X10 Mini and Mini Pro. You can grab it directly off the Market now. This is old news but better late than never right :)

In case you cannot find it on Market or for the sake of convenience, I have uploaded the APK of the latest version here (Skype_v1.0.0.659.apk) 7.42MB

How To: Root Android 2.1 X10 Mini Pro U20i / U20a

I am writing this up mainly because I suspect many of you guys are attempting the Android 1.6 ROOT  method on their device, whilst having Android 2.1 installed. The 1.6 method will not work in 2.1.  Fortunately the method for rooting Android 2.1 is very easy.

NOTE: I have not tested z4root on FW 2.0.2.A.0.24 (the latest update).  It is confirmed working on earlier versions namely 2.0.A.0.504. If you have problems please go to Settings > About phone and check what build number you are on.

METHOD 1 - VERY EASY - DO THIS ON YOUR DEVICE - NO USB CABLE NEEDED

1. Go to Settings > Applications:
   a.    Enable Unknown sources
   b.    (Since you are here do the following too) Go to Development, enable USB debugging and Stay awake
   
2. Download z4root.apk from here
   
3. Once downloaded run / start z4root and it will perform the root process for you.
   
   After the reboot you have root!

METHOD 2

1. Do step 1a from above first, then download z4root.apk from here
   
2. Connect your phone via USB to your computer, transfer z4root.apk to the SDCARD
   
3. On your phone use a file explorer to navigate to the SDCARD, find and install z4root.apk
   
   After the reboot your have root!
