my first and greatly working Android installation

thanks for the great ROM, jerrytan93. this is my first Android I installed and it works out of the box. I'll never look back at Windows 6.5.

My question: has anyone figured out a way to boot with the SD card inserted? Perhaps it's possible to disable some lines in

init scripts so that Android boots despite the SD card is inserted in the device.

SD Boot fix

Here is the answer;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Feed_Rulz:
can anyone verify if following working or not

GPS

HSPA (3G)

wifi

camera

video calling

smooth games(angry birds,fruit ninja,talking tom etc)

speedy system

and other basic phone features

im looking for daily use.

thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kwiateusz:
GPS I don't know

HSPA is ok

Wifi very weak signal, works but a bit slow

Camera is fine

Video calling - front camera I think isn't working

Games - I played fruit ninja and it's a bit laggy but it's playable

I use it for daily use and I'm happy with this rom.

Is there any solution to the Bluetooth? Cause I saw some people don't have any problem with it..

also there is a problem answering a call with earphones plugged in that do not have mic on'em, the other side can't hear you and the phone do not use the build-in microphone..

and of course the GPS problem..

any solutions??

guys who is using this, how is the V8? is it fast ? stable? can use daily usage?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
"How fast is it?" Compared to what? It's usable, but I feel that the low available memory is probably the biggest problem. It's no Galaxy S2! There is some annoying lag when opening apps or changing apps, but does work.

Uninstall Problem

After install Icedroid V8, then I want to uninstall it. I use task29 sd card method cause my PC don't recognize my phone anymore, and after install dynamics 2.4.1 my pc still doesn't regcognize my phone, in device manager it say unknown device, and it won't charge anymore, Please help me
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sufap:
try to use the sdcard method, and a usb microsd reader to copy the rom to the card
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] XtriFe:
yeah, definitely. Manually seems to be the only way to add it. Its so weird, I put my sim on my sister's motorola milestone with the same APN settings and it worked right away. I also tried with a sim from a different carrier on my Xperia X1, added the APN settings for it and it started working right away.

So basically, my SIM works fine on another phone and a SIM from a different carrier works fine on my phone. The issue seems to be with both my carrier and phone specifically together.

Oh well, I'm going to flash Windows mobile again for now.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:

Second of all, what will the new recovery change for me if almost everything works fine for me with that built?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Feed_Rulz:
if i use this build can i still have the chance to restore back to WM 6.1?

just copy windows rom on your sdcard and install it via bootloader.

good luck

Today I installed my first Android on X1 with this ROM. I have few issues:

- I don't have ICS statusbar icons (signal, battery etc).

- my battery icon is 'crossed'

- sometimes my X1 lights are red

I charged battery to full.

What can I do with these issues?

What I should do after flashing ROM and doing things in post no1? Do you prefer any apps to have better experience with Android in X1?

PS: Does GPS work?

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Introducing Full Wipe Script for Xperia X1 NAND, originally idea from Sensation forum and mod by jerrytan93 (ME!!).. :D

The script was packed in a zip file and using updater-script to perform data wiping. Simply go to recovery and choose 'install zip from sd card' and flash the zip

What will the script do for you:

- Remove old system files from older ROM

- Remove old data files from older ROM

- Remove old system created folders located in SD card, it will NEVER format your SD card.. ;)

Advantages of using this script:

- Save your time, no need to wipe each partition one by one

- FULLY CLEAN all the partitions so that you will get a CLEAN ROM installation (less bugs that caused by old files)

Script will be uploaded together with IceDroid V2 in few more hours.. STAY TUNED!! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dxdiadora:
when the v2 is released... should i just reflash it ? overwrite? or keep current v1?

cuz i really dont have time to install all the apps again and all contacts and all the settings....

or is there a way i can restore my settings from v1 to v2? maybe google synce or smth?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
In next few hours.. sorry I not yet reach home.. =/

No need to use the script if you are lazy to set back and re-install apps.. simply flash over the older version is enough and your apps and settings will be kept

You can also use titanium backup to backup all your apps.. the settings will be saved too.

The main goal for using the script was to reduce as much bugs as possible due to apps conflict when updating ROM

Sent from my InsertCoin-ed Sensation
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dxdiadora:
ty very much!

before you release the v2 can you fix 2 things (if they are not kernel based bugs):

1. photo widget on the homescreen is not working.

2. there is a reboot after every missed call :0 and i followed the instructions onhow to fix it but with no success.

everything else is just cool :)

thanks in advance :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
1. I had replace ICS launcher with Go launcher since ICS Launcher was not stable enough, with go launcher you should able to use photo widget.. ;)

2. Added Newding to solve the issue.. just open the apps and then minimize it (pressing home key).. sorry it's all in chinese.. :o
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
first of all thx a lot jerrytan93 for your great work.

is smoother than before very good

btw jerrytan93 why didn't you include the latest kernel?

i hoped that my usb and adb problem will be solved with this new build except with the wiping script but still the same: can't get it to work. at first boot usb storage works but on second boot i get the usb notification but after selecting it it immediately closes again. adb never works neither on first nor second boot (also no notification)

btw2 i identified the setting that causes screen wake up issue: settings -> cmsettings -> display -> screen-off animation

it's on by default
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Did the latest kernel solved the USB problem? I was using the same kernel from V1 and if not mistaken it was an older version.. :cool:

Yeah confirmed that it will cause a deep sleep for the screen, thanks for reminding.. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
no never got it to work on no kernel

didn't tried v1 but zargloub upped one newer kernel. later at the same day the kernel you're using was released

has anyone the same problems with usb and adb? everyone gets an adb notification?

EDIT: just noticed the compatibility problem in market and can't uninstall market updates after disabling updater. did u used a newer market than the one in the old cm7 thread?

EDIT2: tried to solve it by replacing market 3.4.4 (included in this build) with the old market 3.1.3 from official gapps which worked on old cm7 but didn't work any suggestions? maybe something with density?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] TheNT:
did u try clear cache first of market?

installing now will check...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
yes i did and also data
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
I will post an older version of Market later.. what apps you are trying to download?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
it was an update for google carhome via Go Store

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

just want to konw if i'm the only one?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
Elibl: do you start the Mobile and connect it via USB to your computer when android is running? There are problems about connecting this way. You update kernel via fastboot mode: turn on the phone. Then when you see the sony ericsson logo press and hold the power button to enter fastboot mode, then ush the boot.img via:

Flash boot boot.img
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
don't know exactly how i did but good to know that it makes a difference

thanks going to try

makes it also a differernce to use reboot in bootloader?

so you get adb notification?!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
no i don't get adb notifications, cause I never tried, but you don't need them in Android to flash the latest kernel. I sent you a PM how I did it, describing in native language is much easier^^
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
From my experience some Google Apps ( Youtube, Car Home, Gmail ) not even shown up in Market for my country.. so I don't know the problem was with the new Market or country / region.. :cool:

btw I had uploaded old Market at post 3, hope it can solve your issue.. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Pete Rask:
ADB has always worked fine but only as long as screen is active :) or maybe I misinterpreted your assertion?

Format SD from Linux

Hi,

If, like me, you do not have a Window computer, you can format your sd card with 512-byte bloc size with mkdosfs utils :

mkdosfs -I -S 512 /dev/sde

If device is sde. You can chek it for exemple with : dmesg | grep sd.*logical

[191235.004450] sd 58:0:0:2: [sde] 1984000 512-byte logical blocks: (1.01 GB/968 MiB)

The last line is the last card you inserted.

Hope it may help.

Hi everyone.

I want to thank you, firstlly for the help that you gave me, to flash a greek ROM on my WM 6.1 (long time ago) , and the keyboard remaper for the greek keyboard.

Secondly for that HYPER-ROM.

So i give the feedback from mine.

a) Wi Fi works, says the signal is bad, but connects, even if I am close to the rooter, even if I am away,so far away that with Windows Mobile didn't have any connection.

Also I noticed that the Wi Fi disconnects and getting lazy to connect to the same network. I turn WiFi off, and then on and everything is fine.

b)Battery consumption is logical, with my Gold "2430 MAh" battery i run everything on, fow 30-35 hours. So all of you, don't blame android, time to change your battery.

Although on WM 6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell it runs 5-8 days... :S

c)No SD card problems...

d) I can't put as a ringtone my mp3... Do you suggest any other file manager that does it ?

e) Bluetooth fine !!!

f) Typing a message with Xperia's keyboard is a problem as, I don't know how to cahnge typing in greek.

g)No video image on youtube application...

h)So far I can't find a good autonomous navigation programm... Any suggestions ?

i) Internet browsing speed is slower than a turttle...

In general, I am very happy with that, despite the bugs etc. because it's good to know that if you have will and knoledge, you can do miracles.

So I thank everyone involved in the development of this.

Greetings from Greece.

My final development post

Alright so I'm sorry to announce that I'm leaving this project officially, however if someone are interested to continue this project, here's some info from Zargloub which you may want to fix if possible

For those advance user like CoolrunnerII and Elibl you can contact zargloub for further discussion, I believe in one day you all will achieve FIRST FULLY WORKING NAND ROM FOR XPERIA X1.. :)

Finally, I will leave Xperia X1 development now and continue my Android journey to HTC Sensation as a themer.. happy to say that this place had let me learned many things about Android ( this is my first device running Android and the place I started to be a dev ), and meet some nice guys too! :D You guys are awesome and supportive! :D

I will not replying any more PM about IceDroid and my other CWM project.. for newcomer if you are looking for help / support / tips you can contact those advance user as I stated above.. I'm sure they are always ready to help you. ;)

Have a nice day and GOOD BYE ! :)

Easy Tether working in Icedroid v8

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
Hi folks,

I've noticed that in the "build.prop" file there are two same command lines with different values:

ro.telephony.default_network=0
ro.telephony.default_network=1

I've removed the "ro.telephony.default_network=1" because is better having UMTS by default to save battery. After this change the mobile signal has enhanced a lot.

On the other hand, I've replaced the wpa-supplicant file from coolrunnerII rom to IceDroid and the wifi seems to works better.

Also, I saw that some tweaks in the init.d are duplicated so I've tryed to clean it a bit.

Also, as the I/O scheduler is settled in deadline mode, if you use SetCPU choose always this option to avoid overheat the battery.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
first thanks for your effort

awesome! just to be sure you left it set to 0?

good thing i also already noticed the duplications there but hadn't the time to sort out. would you share your work with us for the github repo?

all the best
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Smoover:
Hello everyone,

and first of all a big "thank you" to jerrytan93 for his dedicated work. It's unfortunate that he will not continue developing IceDroid, but I fully understand his decision. Best of luck to you, man.

I did my first ever Android flash to my Xperia X1 today. Previous experiences in custom ROMs were only made using WM 6.5.3 ("XKan's ROM V4") and the ghastly stock ROM from 2009.

I have to say that IceDroid V8 runs pretty stable on the X1. Performance is not very snappy, but that had to be expected from a three year old device. In any ways it is an improvement over anything like WM 6.x, and the access to the Google Market opens up a whole new world of opportunity (although the joy this is somewhat diminished by the phone's small internal memory and the restrictions in the market).

Most of the functionality is there, I give credit for that. A lot of the things that do not (yet) work have already been mentioned in previous posts, but I will put my list here anyway:

(Boot with SD card not working, have yet to check the reformatting approach)

GPS not working

WLAN signal strength indicator in the status bar always shows only 1 bar

WLAN disconnects because of unknown reasons/circumstances. Does not reconnect. Turning WLAN on/off results in reconnect

USB mass storage connectivity not working. Device recognized by PC ("bong"), but no entry in explorer

Camera focus not working

I have not yet had the chance to test GSM/voice/3G/HSPA/WLAN tethering because my SIM is in another device. Will get back to that in the next days.

Please let me know if I can test anything for you developers, the X1 is my secondary (or rather tertiary) phone. I was close to throwing it away when I noticed the Android development :).

Best regards,

Smoover
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] oakes:
I think that an ext rom provides more battery drain but better system performance. The ext roms kernels can't manage the camera but can use 642200mhz as default max. frequency.

From my point of view a Froyo 2.2 is better OS for our xperia than a GB 2.3, but all developers have never stand with a froyo-nand-rom, they've gave it up and they've always tried to build GB nand-roms.

Anyway both sort of roms are not perfect, but we have to be grateful for the effort made by the developers and themers.

The actual nand roms are in the good way thanks to zargloub, jerrytan93, elibl and coolrunnerII. But we are in the hands of coolrunnerII because he (or she) is the only one working on xperia x1 kernel nowadays.

You can try the last GBX0C ext rom (Midnight's ported) or another jerrytan93 ext roms to compare.

My favorite ext rom is TwizDroid (take care with the freeze key problem).

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
1. Boot with SD is working if you follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24590744&postcount=337 (Credits to Elibl)

2. GPS is working if you use the new coolrunnerII kernel (add it with ADB and the next fastboot command: "fastboot flash boot boot.img") and "gps.kovsky.so" of the coolrunnerII rom (placed in /system/lib/hw/, you can do that with "Root Explorer" but keep the same permissions and owner data that the file "gps.goldfish.so").

3. The wifi strength indicator is not working but you can enhance the signal if you replace the wpa-supplicant (placed in /system/bin/) for the one in coolrunnerII rom. (You can do that with "Root Explorer", take note of the permissions and owner of the original file and set them in the new one).

4. USB mass storage is working properly on WinXP and Ubuntu 12.04.

5. The camera is set to hyperfocal distance therefore you can't do photos in the very short distance (less than 1.6m).

6. The GSM/UMTS works better if you remove from the "build.prop" file the next command line: ro.telephony.default_network=1

7. There are no way to do wifi tethering (because we don't have a proper wlan.ko and nat modules) but you can perfectly do USB tethering via EasyTether app.

8. You can reduce the battery consume with "SetCPU" app with two profile on it, one for screen on (537max. 128min. ondemand deadline) and the other for screen off (128max. 128min. ondemand deadline). But first install a launcher like Zeam Launcher (XDA project) and remove the CyanogenMod apps included in the /system/app/ and the Holo Launcher included in /system/data/app/. With that you will lose all the CM features but you will have better battery control.

Would it be possible for you to share the build you have made from Jerrytan and CoolrunnerII work?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
Well, I think that jerrytan93 doesn't like that. I remember a quarrel between kuskro and jerrytan93 for modifying a final jerrytan93's rom. I'm sure that coolrunnerII will improve his rom and we are going to have a proper rom very soon.

Sorry.

I actually converted Alex's old Froyo rom (the one with the Arc-theme, very nice :good:) into a nand one but in its current state it's NOT INTENDED for daily use as some stuff isn't working properly.

But indeed feel free to work on it. It was heck faster compared to a Ginger rom.

bro [MENTION=3039650]jerrytan93[/MENTION] why don't you update youre rom with CM 7.2 base, before you stoped ? or if not, may I ask what you did to fix the camera? what should I take out of the system / lib or something else?
