[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] touch of jobo:
Sure I can. :)

This is a kernel image that has the draggable flicker free keyboard and displays proper colors on gsm raphael/diamond.

This one display proper colors on cdma raphs and diams but not in android.

The diff is against commit 6dd4ca4878b7c2d8cacf09632fdc446851d4232b (the latest at time of posting) of http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm-2.6.25 so any modifications specific to the xperia are not in it.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Juevani:
1. It boots fast

2. The keyboard (empty) but the slid function is smooth

3. Cant seem to be able to click anything els than the keyboard slide

4. Got in to the contacts menu :eek: (it happend once I plugde in the usb cable)

5. The nav middle button seems to work as BACK sometimes (and sometimes it makes the whole ting freeze)

My phone is not running any cooked rom, its origenal (Åpen to any network)

Files I have inside the Andriod folder is as fallow :

1. Default

2. haret.exe

3. initrd-android-raphael.cpio (zip)

4. initrd-android-raphael.cpio (file inside the zip) tried it this way, and it booted

alot faster after i did put in the folder (i dont knw why to be honest)

5. zImage

6. zImage-x1-01

7. a .diff

8. zImage-444-jobo

9. zImage-jobo

I'll upload video as soon as I find usb cable to my P1i (using it to capture vid)..

Great work everyone lets keep this going and we'll make it happend..

Thx alot all :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adamjohnston99:
feel like a total spaz asking this but could it be possible you upload the files aswell, iv tried to do this and im sick of winmo on my x1i, everytime i run the loader freezes at 100% then i have to take the battery out. i just put the files in the phones storage. should i create a folder for andriod?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Evostance:
You realise this doesnt work properly and its just for development purposes atm, hence the name of the site ;)

Why did you buy an X1 if you dont want WinMo on your phone...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] DOMin8or:
its only fun :-)

useless, but fun. and its to see, what google phone buyers get... *ROFL

p.s. thx for uploading new image :-)

the keyboard is draggable - fine,

but the linux is not fullscreen and runs not as good as the old version.

"everytime i run the loader freezes at 100% then i have to take the battery out. i"

why do you remove the battery? have you ever tried to make a reset?

a reset with the stylus, into the resethole.

hint: you can drill a little hole into the battery aluminum back plate. so you have not to remove

the aluminium back plate, in future. :-)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adamjohnston99:
why does any1 buy anything, to try it out. ill be going back to my iphone soon i think because WinMo is not as stable as MacOSX think iv had to restart my X1 more in the first week than i ever had my iphone.

clearly its just development at the moment but andriod is about development anyway thats why its open source so people can develop it just thought it would work on the X1 fully but clearly its not ready yet,
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Juevani:
Comn people this is not a complaint thread, do it in the General Loung..

Back to the case.. Have anyone tried the old linux color stb files??

just change the reselution to 480x800 at their respective places on the script..

Im at work so i cant try it now but can some1 try it and get back at us

with the result, cant see why it wont work since its a universal selution

for all OS's..

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
that argument is rather poor.

Ive got and old XBOX modded to hell to be my media ceter. why? because its perfect for that

ive got a dbox2, also modded with linux. why? because its way better

same goes for the x1. its realy cool phone, but it could shine even more once there are propper UIs, tools and last but not least a fully working version of android :)

winmo is powerfull but also buttugly and rather lame in some ways
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Evostance:
Yeh, but you would do some research before hand rather than expecting it just to work. Its like me deciding to not upgrade my phone and have money of my contract because I think Android would work on a Viewty.

As for the Xbox, you bought the xbox to be an xbox at the time as you just said it was old.

If I wanted to convert an xbox into a media center, I wouldnt go out and buy it and then see if it would work. Wheres the logic in that, same applies for the X1.

Anyway, hopefully we can get Android 1.0 working on the phone correctly which would be awesome. Otherwise we might have to wait for a custom version of Windows 7. Im not betting on either of these working for a long time though
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
Off topic:

ofc i'd do dome research before :)

but it usualy starts with a small idea (nearly non working android here) and often ends up in great solutions.

im not saying using android NOW isn a good idea. the UI sux, the software and design are quite useless too and so on.

for my xbox, i bought it to play right, but after a few months (after release) or so i started tuning it. why? because i felt joy when inserting new Harddisks and hacking fat tables just to make them work somehow. when i buy hardware now i usualy check the "modding potential" first. i know myself and i usualy start to want more when i get something electronical. and im sure there are quite alot people out there who think like me.

On Topic:

btw, i just downloaded the files (first thread) and android bootet without any problems on my vodafone germany branded phone.

colors and display are reversed :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jetcar:
sony-ericsson x1 with android will be oficially out summer 2009, so just need to wait and then get somewhere right rom
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Cheekbone:
what?

link?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SquidgyB:
Indeed, that's a rather intriguing comment, but I'd like to see the source.

Maybe he meant the "X2" as SE have announced a week or so ago that they will be making an android phone, most likely as a successor to the X1.

It'd be nice if we could port the OS though...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ganondolf:
i think thats what he meant too, they did say there first android phone would be a high end phone and then they would put it into cheaper models so it probably will be either x2 or x3 as they said they were going to continue support for windows mobile too
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
on mine it's starting but everything bugs after
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SomeoneSimple:
It would probably just as hard, or harder, then porting the T-Mobile G1's Android to the X1, since we know the G1's hardware (Qualcomm MSM720*) is the same, and the "X2"'s could be totally different.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adamjohnston99:
Any progress or recent files that can be uploaded for testing?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Not yet,

Me and Dcordes need 2 see each other again.

But both busy a.t.m :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adamjohnston99:
the work so far is amazing i personally think uv done a brilliant job, if and i think when its fully working this phone will be brilliant
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Alright Enough playng with WM.

Android progress is back again.

We probably need to get a cheap deviece for DDcordes so you could check the phone kernell.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bobbanswe:
I am really glad the you are working on it already again. You done a great job already! KEEP IT UP! :)

Android boots perfectly. Only poblem is that the colours are messed up. Using the files from the first post. ROM - Touch-IT Xperience v2.1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
thats not android 1.0 though, its only 0.8
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Max399:
Well if it would work without glithes it'd be using it more than the WinMobile.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] touch of jobo:
lavender.t got access to internal storage / SD card working. (At least for diamond and raphael. Both GSM and CDMA, I believe.) This does not only mean that we're no longer restricted to what we can cram into a ram disk, but also that we now have persistent storage.

It was not impossible to boot android 1.0 (or 0.8 for that matter) from a ram disk, it is just not that useful. (with room for 1 or 2 apps only and no persistent storage..) From a development point of view, being able to boot into android 1.0 really isn't progress when you can already boot 0.8. Being able to mount mmc is huge though.

You can boot android 1.0 from a ram disk just like 0.8. It makes no difference color wise: If you had messed up colors in android 0.8, you will still have messed up colors in android 1.0. ..for now..

Cmon you guys, every $ can help us.

Dc himself was willing to give 150/200 so we need 100 more.

Who want Android on his/her xperia???

You can change the name to my nick.

What was the big announcement btw?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Android 1.0 :)

see 1. post

i will try it this evening
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
btw, zImage seems to be the problem.

the old one boots up but seems to have trouble with the 1.0 data
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Here is how it looks/works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7H_YggOWFg

ah damit ... i see myself coding for linux aggain. somehow i realy wanna have android on my X1.

but first ... ive gotta figure out how to get some debug messages.

btw: are u still using the cmEX ROM? since it wont boot for me
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Nope, i'm using this on Touch-IT Xperience v2.1. Not on my test deviece.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] meptik:
In that vid, what rom is that Xperia running?

I've tried a few times on Touch-IT Xperience v2.1, but I haven't been able to get the Android 1.0 files provided in the first post to boot.

Edit: ah, I see the question's been answered already :-). Same rom, strange...

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
hmmm same here. freshly installed yesterday :)

k like i said, the zImage is the problem. the version from the old 0.8 boots up but wont load the kernel.

the newer zimage just keeps hanging. where did u get these files btw? or did u made ur own zImage?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
mainly UMTS frequncies and a slight different broadcom chipset if i remember right.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SquidgyB:
I think the X1a is mainly for the US, I doubt you have one, it's more likely to be down to the rom you're using. You can check in Start > Settings > Device Information > Identity.

I think X1i has the 7200A chipset, X1a has 7201A or something similar. Mine won't boot either and I have an X1i, I'm considering flashing the ROM from the clean one I'm using to see if I can get Android 1.0 to boot.

e: and as I understand, X1as are as rare as rocking horse poop.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
no go here gets stuck at the end of the boot.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cbull86:
Same here, using stock O2 UK ROM, 0.8 worked fine but 1.0 hangs at the end as with everyone elses.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
@xmoo

are u sure u posted the right files? looks like noone here nor in the Blackstone forums was able to boot it up yet.

i still have the feeling that the zImage is borked since the old zImage boots up but doesnt seem compatible with the new initRD file.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adamjohnston99:
Tried to load up Android but haret dosnt reconize the initrd-android-01 file any help? im runnig the stock o2 rom
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
maybe cause its called "initrd-android-10"?

could be a typo though ^^
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] alexcoulson:
And looks like only half a file:

file initrd-android10

initrd-android10: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Wed Dec 31 21:07:12 2008, max compression

gunzip initrd-android10

gunzip: initrd-android10: invalid compressed data--format violated
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauner1986:
I'm also stuck at HaRET: Booting Linux..

The loading bar is full, but nothing happens.. Have to soft reset.

I'm using the X1i with the Touch IT 2.1 ROM..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
This is the old correct zImage!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
hmk, could u do us a favor and just zip your complete folder and upload it?

i still think that either zImage or the initRD has a problem (like alexcoulson stated).

just checked it, i guess that the initrd-androi10 is a gzip compressed file. but its faulty. so alexcoulson might be right :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:

We gonna do what we need to do.

Hack the deviece to know something about the hardware communication with the software.

Trying stuff.

New zImages.

Mayb the new Android build.

etc.

etc.

Stay tuned, that's all I can say.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Max399:
Keep us updated on the progress :rolleyes:

Could you upload your files, in a zip or rar we wana try Android 1.0 too :o

I'll send money when I get my tax return. If you can get this mostly working(phone, data, and sms) I'd donate up to $150USD.

Keep up the good work!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
On 0.8 Phone is working, data not but modem is working so that is big.

Havn't tested calling in 1.0 Will do that.

We need a test deviece so we can hack the xperia

to see how the hardware communicates with the software.

So the donations ahve to come a bit faster :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] yellow_feet:
I'm very curious as to how far this will go; I would love to be able to use the (as it seems) more finger friendly Android OS on the Xperia; so I handed you another €5 to add to your savings. (the name's Duncan).

How big an issue/task is the displaydriver part? That seems to me is the biggest obstacle right now, considering the rest is already more or less functional? (ignoring the data part here for the moment).

Props for the effort!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shadowfix:

Boots fine then

Touchscreen is not calibrated and xmoo cant get it to work :(

without..... you know :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chalid:
Boots with my ROM. Rest works as expected ... :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauner1986:
Works for me.. But touch screen isn't calibrated and colours are messed up like evostance said..

But nice proof of concept work..

Would be real nice, if we could get something out of that.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
The screen calibration is cause it boots fast and does not stop @ the calibration part.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
can we work out the calibration points and enter them into default.txt?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Max399:
Oh, yeah disconected the usb and it booted. With touch screen working. Because i randomly pressed somewhere on the boot start.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
You could try boot 0.8 And save the calibrations points.

And then add it to the default.txt.

Example: msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
im in 1.0 with correct calibration, pressed screen at right point, im fast me :).

Can you get the calibration info from inside android?

calibration appears to work as

0367,0398 00c9, 0046
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauner1986:
Mh... it's just my opinion, but i think an uncalibrated screen makes the whole thing pretty useless..

There should at least be an option to calibrate it. Maybe you should go for not asking for calibration if the msmts_calib option is given in default.txt?

If 3rd party file managers can access the /Android/data/ folder, why can't Samsung's file manager app?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
It has not enough permission. Samsung think it is for your security. You can use third party app but if you mess something it is your fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
Google made that change for "our security"

Try FVL File explorer which utilises a workaround
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
I suggest using MiXplorer.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tiho5:
Total Commander or Root explorer

Also Solid-Explorer or X-plore File Manager will do the job.

I just got my new GTS 4 Mini, and I am wondering if it is possible to remove things from the watch screen, such as Stress, Sleep, International clocks, Menstrual Cycle monitoring etc. I kinda want my watch to have a few things when I swipe right to left. Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xda-eh:
Years ago, the “Device maintenance” section of Samsung TouchWiz settings had an option to clear the cache of all apps in one click, in addition to the option in the "Apps" section to do so for each app individually. Currently, One UI only has the option to do it for each app separately. The "Device care" storage section doesn't have the first (and more convenient) option anymore.

Why?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mzsquared:
I clear my S23U cache using recovery option.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
On my N10+/Pie I still have the old Device Care with 360° (firewall blocked) but it can't clean individual app caches.

SD Maid Pro does a good cleaning job, I use this along with Device Care and clearing the system cache about once a month. That's mostly all the maintenance I have to do. This load will be 3 yo in June, still running fast and stable.

My S4+/Kitkat Touchwiz had nothing at all for that in the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xda-eh:
Again, individual apps can be cleaned in the "Apps" section in settings. But the "Device maintenance" (in TouchWiz) allowed it to be done in one click. Now, "Device care" in One UI lacks that option.

That's the system partition cache. I'm not talking about that.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
I miss this function too. Sometimes a lot of space are in the ass and now like you I need to do it one by one...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
It was an Android function, not specific a Samsung function. Therefore Google removed it, not Samsung...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jinky67:
Android Assistant free on Google Play Store does the same job
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MilgeS:
I use SD Maid for this, and the other tasks it carries out.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
... and possibly a lot of other things on the side.

Security-wise that app is no option with all it's required permissions, while reportedly triggering malware reports...

Add to this that many comments in Play store indicate the app is not working as advertised.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] s3axel:
Isn't that what Memory Guardian (part of the Good Guardian package on Galaxy Store) is for ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Memory guardian deals with memory, not storage. It does not clear caches...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cledee:
I thought the "Optimize" button automatically does this including looking for apps constantly crashing, closing apps running in the background and looking for abnormal battery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Cleans the system logs which is useful but not the app caches.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cledee:
According to this Samsung support, the only way to do it for all apps is to perform a factory reset. I guess it's also possible on a 3rd party app which is the better route than doing a factory reset.
