Thank you Izzyk for your advice, now WiFi and Market works as a charm :)

The one problem that remains for quite some time for me is Network location in Google maps (not via GPS, but network operator) that was working in the older Froyo builds is not working.

I like the possibility just open the map and briefly check the streets around (without starting GPS that takes time and drains battery fast) .

Do you know if this could be fixed?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] PredatorX11:
nice work!

but the battery drain fast....in six hours the battery is to 0....:(

and the big problem for me is the low signal of the 3g...under windows work more better...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Buccio:
Guys wifi don't work for me :( Why?? When i turn it on it give me error.. i just can't activate wifi :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Turn on wifi before booting Android, and use the original kernel attached in npkboot
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dimas.94:
Mate, I've a wifi problem as well... The connection is unstable (connects and re-connects all the time). When I try the pre-installed wifi tether, I get an error, it doesn't launch, I have to force close. When I re-download it, tethering starts with errors so I can't fix the wifi. This happens on Arcdroid and Sensedroid... Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your amazing work so far. I have enabled wifi before I boot android.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Buccio:
I do it but nothing :) anyway i have solved my problem thx for this amazing job jerrytan93 :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
That rom is the most stable I try, but wifi-tether give problems to the xperia wifi because it is included in the build. Try to uninstall wifi-tether.

I really don't know the reason why jerrytan93 has included two wifi-tether version in "SenseDroid V8.zip". One is the versión 2.0.7 and the other is the v3.1beta6. But both wifi-tether can't work if you included it in the build because you need authorization to be installed and superuser to work.

People before install SenseDroid can open the "SenseDroid V8.zip" go to "\data\app\" and remove "wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk". And go to "\system\app\" and remove "WifiTether.apk".
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dimas.94:
Same problem, wifi gets interrupted. I tried to re-install wifi tether and try again, I still get the "tether started with errors" message...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
for wifi .... try the version I mentioned in page 28 and it works fine based on many users and we all have to thanks jerry for this AMAZING rom as this is very stable and has a few problems which we shouldn't complain much about as this isn't even the major operating system for this phone ... all we could ask for is that jerry would be kind enough to help us figure them out and him and a few members showed us how to fix the wifi and market problems and many thanks to them :)

and I have included battery information in one of my replies on how this rom isn't draining as fast as other roms

The issues so far:

1- keyboard freeze rarely and only after being left a long time on stand by

that's the only problem so far :( but this is nothing compared to how much work has been put into this rom

another question ... can somebody please walk me through on how to use 3G mobile service on my phone (internet mobile) ... I would be very thankful :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
for your 3g you have to go to settings->wireless networks->mobile network-> APN--- if there is nothing there you have to set your own up using menu button then add new.

don't ask what your apn is for your provider google it
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dimas.94:
Too bad, I have to give up on this one. The wifi just won't work. It was great, though.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] combaluigio:
cwm

hi,

I try to install android on my xperia x1 phone,but i can't start my X1 in cwm......

when I start haret.exe and volume up/down shortly press, the phone will reboot in normal mode and not in cwm.....

have you any solution?????

sorry for my english

thanks...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] caliban2:
a) it's vol-down only

b) press it at the right point (phone will tell you when, it's right after after the linux-logo goes away)

c) get a real android phone (you'll understand once you managed to boot it on your x1)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
it will work

it happend to me and i just had to reflash android and start from scratch i did not have to format or anything just go into cwm and reload the sense v8 zip and load android and then back into cwm to load gapps. I also deleted wifi tethering from sense v8 zip file its absolutley useless to me try that or if not when you have android loaded go to setting->applications->manage applications and delete the green wifi one and download the wifitether beta 6 from the first website that pops up from when you google it and load it onto your device using the file manager provided

it will work trust me

i never had to do that thing where i had to change to htc dream and desire thing

useless
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] combaluigio:
when I start haret.exe, the phone does not asks me to press the volume / down, and simply restarts...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vannanta:
please read carefully in booting screen
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
Thanks so much for the help ... I called my operator for the APN settings since the ones I found on google aren't working :(

any ways, I guess this ROM is ready to go :D ... only need to find a solution for the key freeze sometimes and we are good :D ... anybody found a fix?

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

- First time boot into Android, go to 'Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > uncheck Data Enabled'. VERY IMPORTANT

a question ... do we always have to do that or just for the first time and then enable it again?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
just for the first time

it usually always is unchecked every single time i have first booted into android

just be aware that sometimes your phone will reboot when you uncheck data enabled, so don't be worried if this happens

its about time some1 has thanked me for helping them

thank you for thanking me!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
dude, people gotta give thanks where thanks is due :)

I just figured it out and it's working now and I downloaded this app called Quick Settings which will allow you to disable and enable the mobile internet without having to uncheck anything ... this would stop ur apps from randomly connecting to sync ... it's pretty handy and it doesn't reboot the phone ... but thanks for the tip about the reboot :)

I've been monitoring the battery usage as well and it's average ... it uses more than winmo but still pretty good :)

The only issue I'm facing now is that sometimes I have hardware key freeze except the power button ... and it happens at random times especially when the phone is on standby for awhile ...

also, sometimes I pick up calls and don't hear the other person (wonder if I'm the only one and if there is a fix for that too)

just an advice to everyone ... if dragging to answer the call isn't working ... try a few times and try to press down first before u slide ... or just use the hardware button :) ...

I'll report any other things that I find handy to this great ROM :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dimas.94:
I already did everything you said, several times! But then, if you don't need to do the htc dream and desire process, what's the use of Wifi Tether?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
its useless
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dimas.94:
Alright. But then, why did a CLEAN installation of ARCDroid give me wifi instabillity problems? I had removed the Wifi Tether app! Is it the kernel? I have no idea about it.

Sorry for asking too many questions, but I have already searched alot... I hope I can get this thing working.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
what kernel are you using?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Pancho3-3:
Be sure that npkboot is located on your sd-card as a directory.

My mistake once was that I put npkboot in my root and than it doesn't work.

Good luck.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dimas.94:
No idea. How can I check that? I'm just using the downloaded package.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
Just another hint ... if u r making a phone call and u can't hear anything ... just turn the speakers on and off and it will work ...

if the touch screen isn't responding, then use the pad to move to the speakers to click it on and off ...

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

well, to solve this wifi problem

just uninstall the wifi tether like u did and then:

1. Install Wifi-Tether 3.1 Beta 6 (download from google code).

2. Launch the app.

3. Go to "settings".

4. Then go to "Change Device-Profile" and choose HTC Desire (GSM) and start tethering.

5. Without stop tethering go again to "settings>Change Device-Profile> and choose HTC Dream.

6. Now stop tethering and start again.

wifi will be stable after that :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dimas.94:
You deserve a Thanks for trying to help me but... I already tried, I said that. More than 3 times, actually.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
i would format sd card, repartition, do u have older versions of jerry builds like v5 I found that one to actually be his most stable.

The new version have extremely tiny changes that you probably wouldn't even notice.

Ask yourself, Do I need the wifi tether...

If the answer is no I will try to figure out a way to upload jerrys v5 I have never uploaded a file before though. I will do this if you do not have his previous version 5.

Please let me know whats up
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
honestly man for all of us that hack these phone we have all been where you are just be patient

I am having the same sorta issues but with my hd2

I am trying to run WP7 off nand and boot android from sd/magldr

I can't seem to get android to "run"

and I have been working on it for a couple of days reformat, reload blah blah..

so stick with it man :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
well, thanks for the appreciation :)

I think the best way is like everybody said ... reformat and reinstall everything

if that doesn't work ... then my suggestion would be to try a different SD card .... borrow one from a friend and try it ... if that solves the problem, then buy a new one ...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Buccio:
Very great work jerrytan, i use your rom on my x1 for days and it works like a rocket :) you are awesome :) But i have a question to do, i have a blackstone too..

is there any possibility of another version for blackstone?? it will be amazing :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Yes you can use my SenseDroid and ArcDroid on your Blackstone too.. all you need is make these small changes in my build:

1. Edit the build.prop and delete the 'ro.sf.hwrotation=180' line

2. Change the lib 'libsurfaceflinger.so' in my build with the one in your Blackstone Android build.

3. Use your Blackstone's kernel and calibration

That's it and enjoy my build. :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Buccio:
Oooh it's fantastic.. Many thanks jerrytan :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] combaluigio:

Hello jerrytan

I have problems with incoming calls, put calls on hold.

and the wifi thether does not work.....

the rest works perfectly....

have you any solution?

thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
All credits goes to izzyk for giving those hint and explanation:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] combaluigio:
all problems solved .... good job ....

many thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sitapea1337:
I dont get it.

I make partitions, copy files and run haret, install from SenseDroid V8.zip and reboot. But then, after I run haret, I have no idea what happens - it just restarts. How can I run android? Is there some options or what?

Please make more precise instructions.

EDIT:

I am stuck at "7. Run Haret, this time let the phone boot into Android completely. After that, reboot your phone"

I run Haret, let it run, but it reboots the system. What am I doing wrong?

Help me out here. I have no idea what I am doing wrong and I need help!

I named partitions as I should have, I did everything as I should have - why isnt it working?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vannanta:
are u have run cwm mode complete? push volume down on booting? please read instruction.....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
Here is more info from monitoring this build ...

it's still working great ... the battery life is good compared to what I expected ... but I noticed one thing ... the LP Sense UI is draining A LOT of battery ... so, is there any way to switch it off or replace it with something that uses less battery ???

I'm sorry I don't really know much about this but if there's a way ... that would be great :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
LP Sense is the launcher. You can install other launcher to replace it, or simply uninstall it.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Faffa_mcr:
Sorry jerrytan93,I have a problem. Firstly, your ROM is sooooooo beautiful and fast and amazing, wi-fi works perfectly but..how can I use my 3g connection? I don't understand.. Thank you very much for your ROMs, you're an hero! :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Explained by casualt before, credits to him.. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
i am so happy i got a credit! thanks jerry
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
You deserve for it because you had spent your time to give report and feedback for my build, you are a good tester in my opinion. And I'm sure you will get a credit for my next build~ ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
Thanks so much for the reply :)

I tried to uninstall it but it wouldn't work ... so, I tried force stop and I lost my home page :D ... I know this sounds dumb but I'm a noob and I'm just trying ... so, any ways, I guess I'll try to find a new launcher that uses less battery ... I'll let u know if I find any :) ... thanks again

update: I've been using this rom since the day it came out till now with no problems so far ... I love the stability ... thanks so much man :)

Update 2: I have downloaded home switcher and installed many launchers ... I'll test all of them ... one of them a day to test their battery usage ... and I'll come back with a report of which one is better in terms of speed, battery, etc ... I hope this will help u in future builds :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Download 'Root App Remover' from Market to uninstall System App

You can download Go launcher or Launcher Pro, Launcher Pro has a better UI while Go launcher has many theme and widget in Market. Or you can try Zeam Launcher which was the most lightweight launcher in my opinion. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
Thanks for the advice ... I'm already testing with Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher and ADW launcher ... I think Go Launcher is just too much to be honest ... it lags and force closes with me :(

so, I'm down to Zeam and ADW launchers for now ... will report more as I get to test ...

Also, After that I'll reflash the rom with the new launcher and report more :)

Update: doing the above made the rom a bit unstable ... so, I reflashed it and I'm sticking to the Sense UI :D ...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Well, you can not use Zeam Launcher because it needs another launcher installed to work, so you will have battery drain again.

You can use ADW Launchers is not bad, but from my point of view consume more battery than the new Go launcher. The new Go Launcher works ok in SenseDroid and consume less battery than LP Sense. The problem with new Go Launcher is you need to know how to install it because it is like Zeam Launcher, I mean, it needs part of another launcher to work, so if you uninstall LP Sense launcher maybe you are going to have problems. That the reason I did GoDroid.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
Thanks so much for the explanation man :)

that greatly helps ... I realized that as Go launcher and zeam kept giving me gapps force closes ... so, I just reformated and reinstalled the rom from scratch ... any ways, I did give your GoDroid a look and it seems pretty good especially that it's based on SenseDroid which I have high respect for ... but I just need to finish testing this Rom first and give all the feedbacks and tricks before I start testing the other but that will be soon hopefully :D ... also, I kinda have exams and I wanna be free so I can test and give proper feedback :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Thank you man.

Best.

V9 released!!

I had updated my build with V9, solved wifi issue and wifi tether problem :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nokia.vertu2@gmail.com:
Guess who is running V9? :)

BTW Jerry, is it possible for an "upgrade" or do I have to do the factory reset everytime and reinstall all apps?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Thank you man.

Best.

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Well, if you only modify or update apps, it's easy. But when you touch the framework or the build structure, it is not as easy, so it's better reinstall the rom.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leo.dong:
thx. I have downloaded your V9 rom, I will try it ASAP.

Rearm wifi in xperia x1 with wifi-tether

Hi jerrytan93, sometimes after using wifi-tether, it stops the wifi interface and we can't use the wifi because the system gives an error.

It is not necessary to reboot, to rearm the wifi is easy using again wifi-tether. Inside of wifi-tether, we have to go again to "Change Device-Profile" and choose HTC Desire (GSM) and start tethering. Without stop tethering go again to "settings>Change Device-Profile>" and choose HTC Dream.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] izzyk:
AMAZING :D ... Thanks so much for continuing with this ROM ... I can't thank you enough ... it's the best I've tried so far ... and honestly I'm too scared to try a NAND version ... I guess I'll wait for you to come up with your NAND version :D :D

Much Respect for the great work ... but now, I'm confused between trying this and the TwizDroid :D but since many people are testing this ROM ... I'll test the TwizDroid and give you feedback and then I'll flash this one and give you feedback as well when I can ... Thanks man :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] PredatorX11:
i use the old 7 version:

i have boot in android without any changes in win mob.... ( i use a 826 rom) and sound and other works.

after 18 hour the battery is at 56%... but 8 hour of night is in aero mode... i think is good.

my problem now is the 4 led blinking always... and the reboot of the device without any reason!

I have downclocked the cpu to 550 mhz and in the normal use i dont see any problem.

thanks for the great job!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
led blink is caused by the kernel.. change another kernel solve this 'problem'

Reboot sometimes is caused by heavy usage.. example you listening to music + downloading + installing apps + playing games all at once, the CPU can't take it so it will cause reboot. ;)

Camera not working, please help

Hey, I just tested out your rom, everything works fabulously except camera... It says that it can't connect to camera. :( Can you please make a driver for the camera or just fix it? Am I the only one who has the non-working camera?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
camera is not working because of the kernel...

we must wait for the new kernel (2.6.35) by Alex aka Sp3dev in order to have camera working. sorry
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Camera is ALWAYS not working for all my ROM series, or I can say that for ALL Android ROMs until now

Market problem

Ok, thanks for the info guys, and... Another problem... I can't find some apps in the market. On the home screen it just shows one app and that's it. When I try to search for angry birds it doesnt show it. Seems like a problem with market, should i update something or just restart phone.

(edit)

Ok, I cleared market data and it seems like it was searching for only compatible apps. Now it works :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] reza3310:
I did all steps,1 to Step 6,I do all according to the tut.,but when I select Yes for installing SenseDroid V9.zip my phone stuck and the progress bar remain blank......

what I suppose to do??

tnx for ur help......:confused:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
just wait. it will take some time to install...(about 5-10 mins)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] reza3310:
tnx for answer,I did,I'm waiting for 10 mins!no results,It doesn't start to fill the progress bar at all
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mm2236:
Dear Reza

check the partitions again, it must be like this :

Format SDcard To 4 Partitions :

- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)

- 2nd partition: EXT2 (System / about 150 MB )

- 3rd partition: EXT2 (Data / about 250 MB)

- 4th partition: EXT2 (Cache / about 100 MB)

Have a nice time
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] reza3310:
Tnx,I just repartition my SDcard,although It was OK,but my issue gone!!!so odd!after installation It show an error when I press OK button to back to main menu and it says:E:can't open cache/recovery/log

and 3 such errors......
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mm2236:
Dear Reza

After the creation of partitions you must format them with an application, such as MiniTool Partition Wizard for Windows OS or GPart for Linux OS

and your CWM must be 1.9 for this version,

if it's still not working yet, you can format your SD in CWM mode,

and also please check the HardSPL & these conditions :

1.Extract the Package then copy [npkboot] folder to root of SDcard

2.Copy [SenseDroid V9.zip] to root of SDcard without extraction

your structure must be like this :

StorageCard

│

├[npkboot]

│ │

│ ├[conf]

│ │ │

│ │ ├eclair.user.conf

│ │ ├froyo.user.conf

│ │ └gingerbread.user.conf

│ ├[tmp]

│ │ │

│ │ ├cmdline

│ │ └recovery.log

│ ├haret.exe

│ ├initrd.gz

│ ├modules-2.6.27.46.tar.gz

│ ├rootfs.img

│ ├STARTUP.TXT

│ ├ts-calibration

│ └zImage

├SenseDroid V9.zip

└SenseDroid_gapps.zip

good luck
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] reza3310:
tnx man....

what do u mean of ur CWM should be v1.9??I just copied NPKboot folder and ROM's zip files to root and run Haret.exe(of course I did these after making partitions)

I'm bored!I have no more Idea!I have changed start up and haret.exe and such things,no results,Even,I have replaced NPKboot folder with Honeycomb's NPKboot....

I follow this topic Installing instructions again,a new error is appearing now!!
