Definite Battery Charge

The battery lasts 31 hours, it just died on me, strangely enough, it said 36%, then as i turned the wifi on, just dropped to 0 and shut off:confused:, charging it right now....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
I've held off with trying third as I was under the impression that battery was terrible... But this oas tempting me.. I trend to try juicedefender with a data check every 15 minutes... any thought on trying it that way?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
''go to settings > sound & display settings > Animations > No animation''

Where can I find this? When I unlock my phone, the screen is black until I touch it. And it says Android ver 2.3.5, not 2.3.7?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
It is 2.3.5 because after my tests, this is the most stable nand rom yet.

It seems that Alex is still working on Kovsky so maybe we will soon have an update.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ryo2456:
Hope to see Alex update soon...............

Bugs

I installed the NAND on my X1 and noticed some bugs:

The battery never reaches 100%. I recharge about 50%. I bought one new and I'm waiting to arrive for testing.

If I get a connection and do not answer, when falling off the phone restart!

How will a new release? They are fixing these bugs?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] JurrePs3:
Me too ;) cant wait for it
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
We're all patiently waiting for the next version to be released. I'm currently using Midnights latest bundle which I do quite like, but still seems slow/sluggish at times.

I'm holding off trying this version at the moment with the battery charging issues, key freezes and I'm not sure how much of a problem the 'unable to boot with SD card in' is going to be given my phone crashes quite a bit and I hate having to open the battery door!

Ah well, I guess we'll just sit back and wait for Alex to give us an update when he's ready!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
Here are some news that are not so sweet for us: Alex started working on Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II. I'm sincerely thinking of buying a new phone (or another second hand), and the best successor seems to be HD2. Until I gather the money I will still test any NAND ROM will be released (and I feel a new release will come soon ;) )
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
These news is realy not sweet. But why doesn't he finish the almost finished projekt. I mean there is "only" these anoying problems with sd card on boot and the batterie problem whitch is nearly solved with some methodes. but i mean, there isn't anyone else here who is working on that, isn't it?

I would like to see alex continueing his project until it's ready for daily use. With that I mean. No reboots.

I would love to put android on my phone and remove this crapy winmo!! I am waiting for a new batterie and will continue testing.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
if you think like this go contact Alex. Im sure he will listen to you at least, even though he may say no :p
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
wow, that was depressing......i guess i should switch back to Win Mo until we hear something definite from Alex....this is my daily user, and i would need it properly functioning from next week, sigh, say it ain't so!

:(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
Uuuu,.. No boot with SD card in. - I do not have this problem. I use SD card with "SenceDroid" installed - it has got 3 ext3 partitions - "system" "cache" and "data" - I guess only one is needed for phone to be able to boot with sd card in. I will experiment and tell you which one exactly.

Missed call reboots - turn your phone to "vibrate only" - and it wont reboot on missed call. But even if reboots and you are not there, does it really matter? :D

Sleep of death - Install different Lockscreen(I use WidgetLocker) turn off default lockscreen there in "root settings".

Install Launcher Pro instead of ADWL(or whatever) - and you will get very little random reboots.

And then learn by trial and error which apps reboot the phone if you leave them in memory when you put your phone to sleep, and just close them - it is that simple))).

The only way to solve the battery in this rom though is external charger. My battery meter literally lives its own life. Three conditions I had:

1. Charged well and correct right after flashing with full battery.

2. Always 100% - on 2nd or 3rd cycle. - Phone does not charge then, delete battery stats, let battery drain and we go to problem number three.

3. Maximum charge 72% - with voltage something like 4.14(that is not full, it is probably exactly 72% full :D )

The only solution to this for now I guess is external charger. BTW I also managed to load my battery to 4.14V in CWM.

PS I think now I am having 4th battery condition 42% max :D

PPS Just formatted a different sd card(4gb) with 200mb ext3 cache partition and 200 linux swup partion phone booted with SD card inserted.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
This seems to be a very good improvement... will test asap..

LE: it's not working on a already installed android (will try a reinstall). wish me luck
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
Is there any way to make the clock speed settings stick after a reboot? I tried using both the CM settings and also using Voltage Control and set as boor but either way, the phone always reverts to running at 612MHz after a reboot.

Also, my phone was fully charged in WM and it was connected to the charger the whole time during the installation and what not. But now it only charges to 54%max and BMW says max voltage is 4108mV.

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
There is a checkbox - set on boot. Use it :).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
I did, but still nothing sticks after a reboot. Even using Voltage Control that uses some script, nothing works, still reverts back to 600MHz after a restart.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
Strange. Try setcpu app then. Works well.

About battery - in my case 4111-4150 in Android = 4.222 using multimeter... So external charge is basically useless.

The only ting about it, you do not kill your battery since you don't let it charge forever.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
Work has become so hectic, can't get a chance to mess around too much with the phone, BUT!!!!

it is my daily user and i make my calls from it, and its great thus far, have the same battery problem as you skas, the battery charged to 100% one time, then charged to 71%, then 69%, i think max i'm getting now is 63%.... (-_-)

......however, i disabled haptic feedback, hasn't rebooted and no key freeze since then, still got that black screen for a few seconds on wake up, don't mind that,

and i must say thanks alot skas for that tip on the reboot after missed call, that was the biggest pain!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
im thinking the crt animations dont work. disable their tickboxes
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
CRT animations?

Tried disabling all animations found in menu, does not help. And Android is prettier with animations, so will put them back on))). BTW Haptic feedback(whatever that is) is also on, no reboots. Only missed call WITH sound on))).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
i mean to fix the delay in unlocking phone.

there is a tick in interface menu i think
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nikola8:
Can someone help me with this.I installed everything adn works great but noq i dont have windows on, and cant charge the phone, so my question is how do i install windows back?becouse my phone wont sync with pc now that have android on...

please help.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
1. Enter bootloader screen (power + volume down key)

2. Open Kovsky RUU program (to task 29 phone)

3. Task 29 the phone as you did to install LK BOOTLOADER

4. Get a win mo rom (check forum)

5. Place on SD Card make sure its named KOVSIMG.nbh

6. Remove battery from phone for 5 seconds,place SD Card in phone

7. Replace battery go back into bootloader menu (power + volume down)

8. Follow Instuctions

9. Enjoy Boring old windows mobile

Well, today i had some free time, since key freeze is no longer an issue, I was messing around with the Android Media Player...

Listened to music with the headset for the first time....not all that great...just like win mo...until i found the equalizer settings...

THE....BASS.....IS.....AMAZING......:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I am NEVER putting back win mo on my phone.....

Alex...PLEASE....fix battery charging issue...thats all i ask for....i'll keep Android as is....without GPS and the rest of crap...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
Just tried charging my battery on a different phone(came back to work from holidays, I work in cell phone repairs so not that hard to experiment), the phone charges fine(to 100%), it is indication issue. High value is not that important. Will discharge now to test the bottom value.

BTW good news, there is another Sun Dream rom:

http://dl.dbank.com/c0olv57z3o

2.3.7 - Quite stable for me. And id does not reboot on incoming call every time... Will test it.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
When was the ROM released?

Looking forward to test results on build :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
Could someone make a mirror because the speed is very, very slow. Download is 9KB/s. Takes about 2 hours...

Edit: I could upload this via HTTP/FTP to rapidshare. If the creator of the file don't want that I will remove it imediatly.

New SunDream ROM

has anyone tested it yet, is it worth the flash?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
looking at filename and at DFT original Sun_Dream thread, it seems is a 20 November 2011 rom, and changelog from 19 (the one we are using) to 20 November version is:

(google traslated)

This is the official ROM release, ROM is fully updated to CM7.1, it contains all languages. This ROM should fix call and missed call bug. This is final version until Alex will update the kernel.

So i think we should update ROM :D it should fix missed call bug
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
Welll, its worth a try i guess, been seeing that banner about XDA going dark on the 18th....so hopefully by Saturday if i'm free i could give some feedback on it, hopefully you guys would also!

BTW, whats wrong with the Kernel right now?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
I flashed it yesterday, I had no reboots since flashing. But battery still takes 20 min then phone turns off. Made battery calibration and use setcpu to max 59* and min of 32*

My new battery was resent because the package was lost. Hope it arives today or tomorrow..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
flashed 20 november build, no problem with sms, calls, missed calls, 3g data, everything working really fast and good

the biggest problem is battery life and charging

than FM Radio support and frontal camera for skype or tango...

i really hope in a kernel update, it's a new life for our wonderful Xperia :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
Well i'm glad to see the support XDA Developers has gotten from the forum!

Installed the 20th of november Version....a bit slow right now

Notably absent is Market, it didnt install, maybe i tried the wrong version...

anyone having any problems?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
For me I prefer first Batterie life, than gps and then nothing xD I just need 3g, phone, and good batterie and of cause wifi, gps is a feature I would use but not really need it. the other stuff can be waiting.

A kernel update won't come soon, alex (sp3dev) is very busy, maybe I will say something more about that, but not now.

Or is there someone working on that despite alex? (sp3dev)

Edit:

Here are .35 kernels (for download), NAND use .35 kernel, is it posible to flash them via fastboot? here is it on gitorious

(for example: htc-msm-linux-2.6.35 @ 20120105_203116: there is a "power hook" in comment and is from 05.Jan 12)

When it is posible to flash via fastboot, we could give it a try.

Still Getting Reboot on missed call

Installed the 20th November Version.....tested missed call, it stuck, and rebooted...sigh, guess there is no fix for it,

NOTE: I replaced ADW Launcher with LP SENSE UI and i uninstalled the Japanese (or Chinese not sure) call screen, because my phone was going haywire....should i have left them?

EDIT

Okay i fixed it, was a fool to uninstall all those things, it works now, except battery meter, (of course) but it works!!!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
have you tried putting them back in and testing? ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] LOC9493:
Can I use other rom to use as nand rom, such as sense droid, zeamdroid, etc
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
not yet... the partition types for NAND is yaffs... Once it will be changed to ext2/3 and the roms will be adapted to .35 kernel you will be able to install this type of roms on NAND (BUT it seems yaffs is more stable and faster than ext2/3 so better get sticked to this)

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

if you read the commits description you can see most of the work is made for Rhodium... so there WILL be some (or more) incompatibilities... I saw a couple of days ago someone is working on xperia too... will tell you asap

It Lives!!!

Fixed my phone by reflashing and re-installing the Android...

Very Very slow on first boot, gave it some time....

had 2 soft key losses today, one after almost 18 hours of running, the second after 2 minutes of reboot....

also noticed during boot, alot of bad blocks in the bootloader, and some just as many bad blocks in the android boot,

after keys froze in 2 minutes, i rebooted again, this time i saw no bad blocks in the android, during boot, and it worked fine until a couple seconds ago, i put the wifi on to kill the battery, and the phone refused to wake up....

otherwise, its great thus far

Any word from you guys, how's it going with your phones?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
Alex is bussy, and he don't know if he wants to continue.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
Hmm, i guess that means no further kernel development.... i would gladly help out, but i don't know programming :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
Battery charging tilts me). I think my battery will die any time soon. Also started translating chinese app that fixes missed calls.))) Will post it once I do it.

Also looking for any info how to install 3d kernel to nand rom(no luck of course).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
yeh, the battery driver is messed up...the phone doesn't recognize the correct battery level, mine only charges to 61% but gives approximately the same life (just over 24 hours with radio on, with some phone calls).....

disheartened about the kernel development though, no positive news on that, but i keep hope
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
i'm checking how last the battery in standby without sim card and no wifi/bt :)

start at 13:00 (in italy)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Pete Rask:
Tried this last rom for a couple of days now and it behaves just as previous ones. Had one freeze and reboot when I accidentally pushed volume button during an incoming call. Otherwise quite stable, except for occasional button-loss :mad: from time to time.

Uptime is around 20-25 hours with 2G and data on.

About battery indicator. Apart from my previous installations, it now charges fine up to 100%!! (still fine after more then 5 charging cycles (...knock on wood...)), but the lifespan only decrease down to around 40% and it then dies. Before it stopped charging around 60% but could then discharge to 0%. So there seems to be a span of ~60% somewhere, or....?? If this would be fixed I think we could squeeze a couple of more hours from it :p

If only we could get someone to help Alex with this....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
Wait a minute.......

I've Just realized something about my memory.....

I have 320MB out of total 512MB usable on-board memory (i would call that okay, because i would expect partition for Android OS to take up the other 192MB)

but i only have 130-something MB out of 256MB total RAM?!?! where'd the other 120+ MB go? is this some allocation gone wrong? Does anyone know how to reclaim that RAM?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
Maybe the other part of RAM memory is used by adreno130 GPU but this is only my speculation.

I gave up for a moment and got back to wm (826x). I will come to android as soon as an update appears. Until then I will just answer some questions from my experience with NAND rom(s).

Hope you undestand me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aseteo:
Don't worry bud, its perfectly understandable, better a fully functional, but pain in the rear Win Mo, than a semi functional Android build.:D I had the same sentiments but, Android grew on me, besides, my carrier in my country is a waste, so most of the features currently working are not used, and well, the radio stations are crap, so no radio doesn't sway me in the least....

I'll stick to using it, and maybe understand how it works, to possibly aid in development, maybe as a little weekend project...

I'd love to see a properly working build for the X1 in the future (near to be more precise :D) so just as Alex took the initiative to start development, i'd try my best to learn and continue the development, to help make the goal achievable....

I'm not promising that I'll be developing kernels and what not, but i do have intentions to start learning about it and giving it a shot, even if it means bricking my beloved X1

I currently have no time. But on wednesday I will make a Linux vmware and try that. But not for now.

Edit: but i will test the linked file from this guy.

Edit2: When I install it via CWM I get a error:

"E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)

Installation aborted."

Edit 3: In the new Version there should be better battery life, I think its a good chance to try. I try it

Does anybody know how to compile lk bootloader source and turn it into kovsimg.nbh??

It seems that it's updated recently than the kernel and it deserves a try.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
It would be awesome if someone could modify the bootloader so that it can start up without having to remove the microSD card.

Is there any particular reason why this has not been implemented?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sp3dev:
The reason is that it "works for me". My phone boots regardless of microSD being inserted or not. If anyone wants, go ahead and try to figure out what causes problems. If you want to compile .NBH from lk, use my tinboot-for-lk project at gitorious, there's an old branch which contains scripts for building images for X1
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
it seems that if we use FAT32 on the first partition it will stuck during boot

if we use EXT3 on first partition, it will load without any problems, but having EXT3 partition than a FAT32 one, make FAT32 partition not usefull because android and windows cannot recognize them :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
i don't get it to compile the .nbh from lk:(

i cloned via git lk and tinboot repositority but don't know how to get with compile.sh:(

but this is my first ubuntu on virtual box so my skills aren't pretty good maybe someone other should try it

Keylayouts for qwertz qwerty and azerty:

I attached the remapped keylayouts and keychars for those. So every key should now be right set also the blue ones ;). If you find faults please report.

there are also some 'extras' just have a look here i nearly used them:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Keyboard_Layout_Kovsky

Adding:

just unzip and take your *.kl and *.kcm.bin rename them to microp-keypad.kl and microp-keypad.kcm.bin (or to the *.kl/*.kcm.bin used in your build) and replace them with the related file in /system/usr/keylayout/ and /system/usr/keychars/

you can do this to the zip before flashing

or just via adb/terminal then reboot and everything should be set.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
I get the part where Windows won't recognise it, but why wouldn't Android recognise it? You mean that once partitioned, the MicroSD card partitions become useless?

I don't mind making it into 1 small EXT3 partition and the rest as FAT32 as long as I can access it from my phone and Windows can see it too.

When running the ROM's off the microSD card, windows can recognise the FAT32 partition because it is the 1st one:

1. Format SDcard To 4 Partitions :

- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)

- 2nd partition: EXT3 (System / about 150 MB )

- 3rd partition: EXT3 (Data / about 250 MB)

- 4th partition: EXT3 (Cache / about 100 MB)

What if I make it the same just the 1st partition is the FAT32 rest and the other is a 5MB EXT3?

Will the phone start with the card inserted or must the EXT3 be the 1st partition?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
I have tried it to make one big FAT32 partition and after ist a small EXT3 partition. It won't boot with this SD card, only if EXT3 is the first partition but so SDcard is unusable, because windows and android can't show the FAT32 partition.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ady_95:
I tried to partition the microSD with minitool partition wizard and in CWM recovery menu.

Neither one gave the expected result, so... I got back to WM
