If what you mean is setting airplane mode on and off and then trying to make a call again, it's still not working for me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
for me it worked :-p
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aloysius987:
I know i should have shared this earlier and i blamed myself for not doing that this was how i overcame the "memory card must be removed before boot" or "phone will be stuck in boot loader" problem...

after I install build i remove memory card to boot my phone 1st time. after that i do the normal set ups like turning off screen off animations blah blah then i insert memory card, wait for phone to finish loading the memory card then i reboot the device normally ... hold power key press reboot and press reboot... then leave the memory card inside upon the next subsequent boots the phone never got stuck in boot loader ever again...

Can't work, I tried, maybe you did sometining else?

I'd like to give thanks to jerry and all those who have made nand flash ROM possible, God bless you. I installled v6 yesterday, my 1'st nand atempt, everything was butter smooth and impressively unbelievable until today. Market keeps crashing everytime I try to download an app. I get an error: the process android.comm.media has stopped unexpectedly. Any suggestions on how to solve? Should I reinstall gapps? Another thing I'd wish to point out is the audio player, whennever I plugin earphones, skip the next song, go back home from the media player, disconnect jack, I get multiple vibrations. Is there a setting to disable them?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Go back to recovery mode and backup the ROM > FULL WIPE > Reinstall the build > boot into Android like the first time, no need to set up anything > Shutdown and go back to recovery mode > use Advance Restore for restoring DATA ONLY.. then you are good to go.. it seems like you had broke some system apps

Use another audio player as you like.. different media player have their own bugs
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ramhead:
Great rom! :) thank you.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
V7 updated! :)

Please help me to test WiFi performance (are they faster now?) and also WiFi tether (I don't know how to test it.. :p)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aloysius987:
jerry you can test WiFi teter only if you have data plan... i dont think they support wifi to wifi teter... i try test tmr...

thats all i did with the sd card... using sandisk 8gb sd hc class 6 i think...

edit:oh yes i forgot... i dl some task killers and since then calls were not able to be answered (yes i know im dumb to kill newding too) sooo... is it we have to keep newding as an exception or, other than newding there is a service we cant close either?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
On qjick tests so far, wifi seems much faster, signal strength still not updating. Great!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
wifi seems faster but still also crashes very fast for example when you connect wifi and immediately use the connection it always crashes but that's as already before so it improved by speed

for tethering: setting ad-hoc mode... and enabling NAT rules... fails
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Also 'droidwall' doesn't work. I think iptables needs to be included or something similar.

Trying now to see if leaving wifi on causes my device to get hot and screen of death!

EDIT:

hot battery SOB with WIFI left on still happens
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] fauntelroy:
for NAT rules you must do modprobe first,

but for ad-hoc i still don`t know how to made it enable,i stuck in there,,
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
NEVER kill Newding.. I think this will solve some user problem with answering call

you will need some specific module in kernel.. but I don't know which one
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] szawel:
Welcome.

Is it only in my WiFi signal indication not working? All the time shows one bar. The same thing I had in V6 and V7 now.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
it's a common problem.. don't bother about the 'fake' signal shown since it actually can find all the available network
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Mirror link is up.. :)

That might be interesting, but priority is a stable base for daily use, after that you can slow down the reached performance with the graphic hungry stuff :-)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
This really looks interesting.. lets see what can I do with these mods while trying to not letting these to affect my ROM performance.. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
Flashed V7 over V6, wifi is ok, internet is working, Google Play (market) just get server error, I have tried , many reboots....nothing.

Any hint?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Try it later.. I look at Sensation thread and there are some user experiencing this problem recently.. maybe region related?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
Only two things:

1. Wifi-Tether doesn't work neither Krokus' method nor any other.

2. You can run the xperia with any SD if you set it just after LKBootloader begin to load and just before Android Kernel is loaded. So the SD boot problem is caused by LKBootloader and not because of the android kernel.

PD: Please, mend the wifi-tether problem.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
I recently tried to flash every lkbootloader I found.

The pooploader.nbh on my Hard Drive:

I made task29 and flashed the nbh file, than flashed recovery.img (cyan fontcolor), installed the CM7 ROM by neopeek and booting via SD card is still working like before.

This one from sp3dev (alex) post.

I made task29 and flashed the nbh file, than flashed recovery.img (green fontcolor), installed the CM7 ROM by neopeek and did not boot because of missing/invalid boot.img and I don't want to download it...)

This one from sp3dev (alex) post.

I made task29 and flashed the nbh file, than flashed recovery.img (green fontcolor), installed the CM7 ROM by neopeek and booting via SD card is still working like before.

So I think it is not depending on LKBootloader. I tested it because I thought maybe these peole who have a working boot with sd card have flashed a different lkbootloader.

EDIT: I forgot to try the one from the replace Winmo with Android NAND thread.

I did the same as above and even after installing CM7 by neopeek it is booting with SD card.

So the problem is SD card related or X1 model related. Maybe posting Model Nr. or something like that to identify which exact type you have. And if it is working or not.

I did that only for you guys and risked that it doesn't boot with sd card after doing these steps ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] SPyxOff:
jerry I want to to thank you for the amazing build you made for us, everything and Wi-Fi is working perfectly with V7!

But I got one question.. When I installed your IceDroid V6 I was able to shutdown apps by holding down the "OK" button. I just held it for a second and the whole app get killed. But now, after updating to V7 I'm able to kill apps only with Task Killer because holding down "OK" button is not working, now I can just tap the "OK" button and minimize those applications. I'm dissapointed about this.. Any ideas?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
I've tried with 3 different Sandisk SD (2Gb, 4Gb and 8Gb) formatted in FAT32.

I just power on without SD, then when LKbootloader begin to load I put the SD and Android load without problem. You only have to do that ones. LKbootloader changes something in the SD that let it boot the system without problems.

Dear friends,

How can I do a full charge of the battery before install the rom?

When I try to plug to the AC (with the mobile power off), it automatically power on so I can't charge the mobile with no rom installed.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Exactly when does the LKBootloader start? Is that AFTER the green text and the white text?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
Just at the begining of the green text and always before white text.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
So.. after the DEX, and before the FASTBOOT prompt? or after it? Before or after the buttons backlight comes on?

I've tried a few different combinations! Not working for me

Its hanging at "Attempting MTD mount of 31.5 "mtdblock5"

or other times its lofs at yaffs_read_super: isCheckpointed 0
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
Thanks, Jerry, I am in China, working, but the market hadn't problem last night, I used through my HTC, all the evening..... Later I'll try again
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
WiFi tether will need some specific driver in kernel, I just want you all to confirm is the kernel have it or not.. and the result is here already

Your method with SD card booting is working (at least for me )

Good find.. and thanks for the hint

I don't know that we can hold the 'back' button to close apps.. :cool: Try to make a full wipe and report back (make a backup first if you don't want lost your data)

NAND breaks the charging ability in our phone, so just charge your phone until full when in any ROM

after the DEX.. fastboot.. and when it start to print out those linux code plug in
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] revol5:
When I turn on the wifi and X1 goes into sleep(screen off), X1 stocked with black screen. no hardware button or power button working. only happen I left x1 for a long time. For short time, x1 wake up and working.

The only solution X1 stocked with black screen, remove the battery and insert it again.

If turned off the wifi and let x1 sleep, stock isn't happen. only the case wifi turn on and sleep for long time.

Anyone happended to you?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Yes, everyone.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

So, after the fastboot, but before the white text? If it then boots into Android, I should be able to take the battery out, leave the SD card in and reboot and it should work?

Its just ins't happening for me! :( :( :( :( :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
Can you include this drivers (nat ones and wlan.ko) and load it with modprobe or with an init.d script like:

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Load any extra modules

MODPATH=/system/lib/modules/

for i in `ls $MODPATH`
do
modprobe `basename $i .ko` >/dev/null 2>&1
done
exit 0
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] SPyxOff:
jerry I swear it worked for me.

I was asking my good friend if it's real that someone with an Android can kill apps just by holding down BACK ("OK" button for us) and he said that he can kill those apps like me before. Just by holding down the button. He have Samsung Galaxy S with Android 4.0.3, Cyanogenmod 9. And he recommend me to do Factory Reset in recovery.. Still not working and after fully clean installation with wipescript it's not working either.

I didn't need any Task Killer because of this. And right after holding down the button it shows a little pop up window with a text in it: "Application was closed."

I don't know if I'm realy the only one who has some experience with this on the X1 but it worked, but after update to V7 it's not working.

This is just a little problem but with that, it's realy easy to operate with android because you can kill applications right away.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] fauntelroy:
it`s not that simple,

for nat it has incuded in the kernel you just need to load it,

and for wlan.ko,i`ve tried it once but it makes the wifi even worse (don`t know if i load the wrong one)

i`ve already tried almost all module i can find but the result still not good,if somebody know exactly what modules we should load it would be great.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
:-D it's easier than you think. It's an option in settings - apps - development - close app...

Gesendet von meinem Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mit Tapatalk
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Nope.. after the fastboot and WHILE the white text was shown.. just now tested it again and it is confirmed.. and I din't mean that you can LEAVE the SD card inserted after the proccess.. you still have to perform this trick EACH TIME you start your phone if you wanted to have SD card loaded when booted

You can contact Zargloub for that

Problem solved.. :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ironwrung:
I would like to ask about battery usage... When I go to settings>about phone>battery use, the use in percentage/status bar for display is icomparable to all other processes, its way beyond all others, Is that normal? (The reason why I'm asking this is because I get random lines across the screen sometimes with heavy use) Another thing I'd like to know is about the missed call reboot bug, is there a quick fix for that, I'm still on v6 by the way
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
The fix is newding (the app which prevents phone to reboot after missed call) it is included with the rom
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
I do it during the DEX and before fastboot. I do it ones after I leave the SD inside the mobile.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
PLS, could anybody explain more clear what is the exact procedure to do, for after keep the SD inside the x1, after reboot (all story , please)

Thanks a lot
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Yes, are you saying you have a way that you can overcome the issue of having to take the sd card out each time you reboot?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
Yes, even I doubt it can work, but if there is a shortcut....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
i confirm it really works :D damn nice work neoofoox

EDIT: sorry it's still not working android doesn't accept the file system... :(

But i think we're a big step closer to the solution we've now a sdcard that works on windows and linux and boots and doesn't work yet on android ;-)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
You are worth to get our thanks neoofoox.. appreciate your full details testing and report.. :)

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
I formated SD card back to MBR because with GUID Android don't recognize it...

I am currently trying to get it working... and I have something strange... when you plug the storage card in, before the code makes a jump with the space and in big letters ANDROID, I hope you get what I mean. Then It recognize the SD card and show it and boot it. But when it is pluged in since power on, it doesn't.

Edit: First of all it shows the same as when it doesn't boot and then it re-installed the microSD and then it is working.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
for me it boots no matter when i insert the sdcard as long it is after the sony ericsson logo or in the last second of it...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
All this booting working/not working says to me is that if there's a valid file system on the card, it won't boot, otherwise it will. Not sure that is helping to get anywhere?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
Yes that's right but as it worked for neoofoox before and now not anymore we can identifiy that it's not sdcard model related nor anything else with hardware it must be something on sdcard that makes it bootable for some people netherless the problem in the kernel...

Hey, sorry for interrupting you guys from solving the problem

with SD card, but I got one more question and I can't find any relevant answer.

Is there any chance to take sharp photos with android camera?

No autofocus and its focused on macro so I'm only able to take macro pictures.

Any chance to manual focus?? Idk how.

Boot icedroid with sd card , you use adb push file vold.fstab (of walter79) to system/etc (overwrite vold.fstab on your x1)

i just recognize vold.fstab of walter79 not mount sdcard , maybe so i can boot with sdcard

SD card on boot

For sure Jerry will try to implement next sunday

Actually the random reboot of the phone is a very annoying problem, specially after a missed call when another new call is arriving, even the 'Newding' app. is running in background.

Solving the problem of the boot with SD will be very good , the back cover of my X1 ia almost broken.....

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Can someone make a CWM .zip file to patch this for me and others to try?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
LOL I don't know that my ROM can works with Touch Pro .. :cool: Before that I had tried all the available vold files from other thread but none of them was working correctly.. :rolleyes:

Will try to use this vold later and if the SD problem was solved then I will include it in next version.. thanks for your help.. :)

Just a suggestion for you all.. if you are using task killer, memory optimizer, RAM manager, fast reboot, or any other apps that close apps automatically.. remember to set the app settings for excluding Newding being killed..

when Newding was killed it will not restart back automatically and have to launch it again by yourself.. or else you will getting the annoying reboots.. :)

Wi-fi & USB

Hi Guys

1st of all, thank u jerrytan93 for the great job. Followed the kerfooly guidance and installed my 1st droid (IceDroid V7) perfectly. It's fast and stable but (there is always some but) ...

a) All Wi-fi connecting signals are "poor" and the phone never connects.

Tried connecting to a router with no security at all (just MAC filtering) wich antenna is right beside the device and signals keeps poor and dont connect.

Tried an ad-hoc wireless connection with W7 (notebook and PDA are side by side) giving poor signal and never connects.

I was using radio 1.17.25.09 ... downgraded to 1.16.25.48 and 1.14.25.55 from here but no changes at all.

Any advices ?

b) USB Connection

When plugged to USB, the phone starts recharging (as expected) but the device does not appear at Devices Manager. Not even the plugged notification appears on the X1.

Going into Settings > Applications > Development and turning USB Debugging ON, an "Android USB Device > My HTC" (drivers OK) and "Others Devices > CDC Serial" (drivers not found) entries appears on Devices Manager. A new disk drive is found and, when SD card is inserted, the files are available on Windows.

Then, I've tried installing HTC Sync but the software does not identifies any devices. (Note: before installing it, the device recognized by Windows was "HTC Desire")

When I try "USB Tethering" sometimes it gives me "USB not connected" (wich is) or a message that it's in data mode and can't perform tethering.

Any sugestions ?

Best regards.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
a) the signal is fake.. even though you stand beside the router it will still show you the same level.. no solution yet..

and if your WiFi protect is using WEP then it will never connect (stuck at obtaining ip address).. change your router to WPA2 solve the problem.. ad-hoc will not work too if not mistaken

b) Try to make a full wipe.. reinstall the build.. when first time boot into Android make all the setup.. then connect the phone to pc and enable USB debugging.. see whether the PC recognize the phone or not
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Kdio:
Thank u very much for ur response.

Sorry ... my bad ... didn't mention that router is set to "no security" (MAC list protection. Ad-hoc is set to WAP2.

Quite experienced in ad-hoc so, it isn't.

Will perform this recommended procedure today and report later.

Best regards.

Just to clarify: what should be recognized by W7 when IceDroid V7 is operating under normal conditions?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
Could you write us a detailed description how you got it to work? It would be very helpful and if we can reproduce it it may point to a solution for this issue...

Btw: For others as the boot once was working it worked also after reinstall of the build. The boot didn't worked anymore after formatting sdcard. I hope i combined right correct me if i'm wrong.
