Does this rom have active notification feature (moto x features)?

I'm now trying AcDisplay and DynamicNotifications on CM10.2 beta 2.

Got major problem with DynamicNotification where the screen won't light up after receiving notifications.

With AcDisplay, I think it works quite well. Surprisingly the "screen doesn't light up" bug didn't occur with this app. Maybe I need to do extensive test with AcDisplay.

I'm playing with Active Notifications (moto x feature) on my X8 while waiting for my Moto G to arrive.

I will still use this little beast called X8.

Donation will be send later [MENTION=1945569]afi1982[/MENTION] as I promised.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Groot:
Active display is only meant for screens that had AMOLED and it only works with 4.4 so dont bother using it with 4.3, the devs themselves said it and using it with the x8 can cause a huge battery drain

Sent from my E151
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stfudude:
I'm using it right now on CM10.2 (Android 4.3). It's working as it should. Battery drain is minimal.

Active display is not meant for AMOLED, it was designed to be used with AMOLED. that doesn't meant that other phone can't use it.

I'm using the beta version (2.1) which features new UI and maybe support for android 4.3. Non beta (1.2.5) only support Android 4.4.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] exebreez:
Holy S*'$! This stuff is amazing, ive started with the x8 and now its on the same Version as my ONE is...

I wonder what browser you guys using.

I'm actually using CM10.2 beta 2. The stock browser is kinda laggy. After searching for a while I found Now Browser. Not bad. Not as laggy as stock browser (which I have disabled). I'm interested to know what browser you guys installed.

Anyway, I just found the perfect keyboard for me: TouchPal X.

Previously I'm using MIUI keyboard.

The good: light on ram (only about 2-10 MB), swiping gesture and support my native language.

The bad: sometimes after typing space is not automatically inserted so I had to delete the letters I typed just to insert a space. Drives me crazy!

Stock AOSP keyboard (now disabled):

The good: Light on ram.

The bad: No swiping gesture for my language.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Groot:
Try swiftkey, very good for swiping my native language... And as for the browser, try using opera mini or naked browser

I can't wait for next release so i have few questions to alpha release because i want to use it now and wait for next one:

1. How can I do to mobile data works normal ( when i add apn from my provider data works for some time but not always).?

2. Is there any chanse when I add sms app will it be works normal??

Dev don't be angry for my (maybe) stupied quetions , I'm your fan !! ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Groot:
1. Maybe it's rom related bug, wait till afi fixes it.

2. Sure you can, try 8sms from playstore

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stfudude:
I bought SwiftKey and use it extensively on my Nexus 7 2013.

I don't have plan to use it on my X8 because SwiftKey is using almost 50 MB of ram. That will surely break this gentle beast called X8. That's precisely why I didn't even install gapps package (Google play and all that googley things)

How I install touch pal keyboard then?

I extracted the apk from my Nexus 7 2013 then transfer to my phone.

There is no problem with license verification or whatnot because touch pal is free. OTOH if I install SwiftKey on my phone which didn't even have Google play and didn't have any Google account associated with it, then SwiftKey may not work at all. Sure I can just install the beta one right? Problem is beta version lags a lot.

As for browser suggestion, thanks. I will definitely try opera mini but one question where do I find naked browser? I did a search for it a few weeks ago but can't find it. Did the dev remove it from play store or something?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Groot:
I use swiftkey for the reason that I only use my x8 for tapatalk, google+, and hangouts only, so no problems for me...

I have no idea what happened to naked browser, now browser is a good browser too, try lightning launcher instead.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CedArctic:
Congrats ;) Your work was featured in the portal ;) . Good work bro.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stfudude:
And your phone didn't even lag with all the apps installed?

Anyway, I already tried lightning browser not too long ago, and I didn't like it.

btw, I found Naked Browser free in google play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fevdev.nakedbrowser

previously I can only find the pro version which is the first one listed after search. google really need to improve play store search functionality...

[MENTION=1945569]afi1982[/MENTION] You need to update the Wifi & BT drivers in the kernel. If you can't, let me know.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cdeox8:
Hello Hashy(Vince?), good to see you here. If you, yair and klozz work together then maybe we will get a stable,working Kitkat earlier than expected! :) :fingers-crossed:

we are not working together, i hope to see hashy helping me , i'm close but i need one more brain to finish this as fast as we can.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TeamMex:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TeamMex:

if you tested nice... you can read in the KK source :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] afi1982:
No mate this is old and not working driver for kitkat
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:
I think we don't have any other choice for the Wifi & BT. We need to re-write the drivers and update it. Cause for X8 devices, we don't have new kernel, such as 3.0/3.4. New version of kitkat it uses new Wifi & BT drivers. Which doesn't support on older drivers.

[MENTION=1945569]afi1982[/MENTION], you got update your kernel source in github? If yes, send me the link so that i can see what is needed to re-write. :)

Cheers,

Hashy.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ferozfirru:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Groot:

how work on kit kat ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:
Okay. For this ROM (kitkat), the kernel needs alot of work. Need to work like juice!

Need to re-write the drivers, and make it compatible with the build without any errors. I will start downloading the sources soon as possible. And if i get up with something. Will update with you guys. :)

NEVER GIVE UP! #TRUST.

Regards,

HashyCode.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Instead of rewriting the drivers we need newer kernel. ;) The samsung msm7x27 line have working 4.4 with .35 kernel, the lg msm7x27 phones have near perfectly working 4.4 with 3.0 kernel.

Go into TeamMex kernel thread... ;)

I made some experiments with .35 and now on the 3.x line (but need at least 1-2 weeks (or more) to compile a stable kernel with basic functionality).

[MENTION=1945569]afi1982[/MENTION]: as you wrote earlier: sensors fixed. Can you explain what sensor working and what not? (I need to know what drivers can I use from the .32 source tree and what not working).

For example: the popular sensors (like the bma150) have up to date drivers in the newer kernels, but some (like the dlt002 camera sensor) have only the abandoned .29 drivers. :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:
That's right. We mostly need to make new kernel for this. Need alot of brain juice. ;)

3.0 kernel, the drivers are support for kitkat. But for that we need to update the kernel into newer version. Let's see.

HashyCode.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
At this moment the .35 is booting ;) Absolute useless now (unstable and most thing not working yet) but at least found the magic what nAa made earlier when he jumped from the ancient .29 to the also old (but at least frequently updated due the long term support) .32 source tree ;)

As I see the most drivers available for the 3.0.x kernels (like the wl127x), some need hard works...

I hope I can make something usable before the end of this month. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] afi1982:
camera sensor not working , magnetic sensor and proximity sensor are working , what else there is ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
As I remember we have the proximity and light sensor (I not remember the type), akmd897x magnetic sensor, bma150 accelerometer and the dlt001/dlt002 camera sensors (one for the x8 and the other for the x10 minis).

We also need drivers for the cypress/synaptics digitizer, the toshiba/hitachi lcd, the lm3530 led and of course: the wl1271 driver for bt/wifi/fm :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] afi1982:
light sensor, bma150 accelerometer,cypress/synaptics digitizer, the toshiba/hitachi lcd, the lm3530 led are working.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:

I can feel, Xperia X8 users gonna get a Stable Build soon with new kernel ;)

Stay cool. Patient! :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TeamMex:
=O MAGIC?

the compas sensor is AK8975

the compat-wireles you can copy xD from .32 kernel ;) I'm try to update compat-wireles to use wl128x-fw-multirole-plt.bin , wl128x-fw-multirole-roc.bin
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Yeah, nAa "forgot" to commit what he made with the original .32 SE kernel to make it bootable on the x8... :p

The difference between the initial commit and the description what he wrote about this commit is more than 200 files. ;) More than 100 files added (typically the device/board specific codes) and more than 100 files changed (modified includes/paths/asms) what we not see in separated commits. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Mchasard:
Is there a chance to see also a kitkat version for a near device x10 mini...I remember that same Roms was ported.

Nna kernel is used I supposed

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:
There will be kitkat for X10 Mini & Mini Pro. But currently we are working hard for X8 first. Once done then it will be easy for us build for X10 mini & pro ;)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] afi1982:
Guys please let us work and don't ask for anything that not relevant for this device [MENTION=4801100]HashyCode[/MENTION] did you take a look at the kernel? any thought?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:
[MENTION=4163764]pilu1978[/MENTION] From your side. What is currently working and not working?

Yeah i looked. But currently i only can tell you, this kernel needs alot of work. Wifi drivers need to be re-writen. Ask help from Klozz (teammax)

I heard he is the one who build kitkat for X8 first. Did you took over some of his files? :eek:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] afi1982:
Hahaha what? No.. he was the one who talk about this and I'm the one who actually did it with base on nAa cm10 sources and Androarmv6 team sources so don't believe everything you heard ;)

About the WiFi driver I'm half way there I just fallow the Motorola defy sources https://github.com/Quarx2k/jordan-kernel
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
From my side: basically nothing work ;)

Okay, without joking: the .35 kernel was only an experiments only before I start the 3.0 line. The goal was simple: a booting kernel with working hitachi lcd and synaptics driver (my x8 config).

Basically I not wasted my time to make working sensors/wifi/etc...

The next goal (I will start it on monday/tuesday): booting 3.0 kernel :)

Secondary goals:

- working device specific stuffs (sensors/camera/wifi)

- cma

- f2fs

- fiops

Optional goals:

- new partition scheme (one big partition for system/data/cache to maximize the available free space)

- twrp 2.7 (ramdisk related, but need a new recovery for my "one big partition" idea)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] afi1982:
what made it boot that the big question for me ..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
At this moment: this is my secret ;)

You will see it when the kernel and the sources will be public :p

Note: make the rs232 cable for the x8 what nAa posted earlier, and you can debug the kernel and the reasons why not boot. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:
I see.

What about BT?

Nice progress here. I think better work on 3.0. I can guaranty you this kernel will be okay for kitkat (x8).

We just need the kernel to boot enough. Others like bugs can solve it slowly ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Yeah, the biggest work: make it boot ;)

The .35 was relative "easy" because the distance between the working .32 and the .35 kernel is small. Not needed too much coding, just lot of patience to find the "magic" in nAa's forgotten commits and read the logs from the rs232. The 3.0 is another thing due the much bigger gap between the .32 and the 3.0.x code.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HashyCode:
Agree. About the bugs, we just need some patiences, i wish i'm at home right now. I also can start my progress :( But unfortunately i'm away. But will be back soon and i'll start my progress soon as possible.

Keep us updated pilu ;) Anything just let us know.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stfudude:

If the thread is on general there will be lots of noobs asking questions lol.

Anyway it's fun to read what you guys wrote. :D

[MENTION=4403780]TeamMex[/MENTION] How to format to F2FS? By using recovery? If that's the case then we need new recovery as well.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TeamMex:
To use F2FS need add support on rom first and I made a kernel and added changes on recovery to make it but for now are very inestable.

I'm not recomend for now...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Twrp support f2fs from 2.6.1.0 or 2.6.3.0 :)

To format the partitions need to use the f2fs tools (mkfs.f2fs and fschk.f2fs).

So, need to add the f2fs tools source to external/f2fstools (or something similar) and need to compile twrp (at least with 4.1 source tree, but now we talking about 4.4, so this is not problem)

Anyway the f2fs supported from 3.8 or 3.10 kernel only, the backports for earlier kernels is dangerous...
