Today is a very sad day for me :(

Just 22 days left till I get back to my loving Xperia I got the bad news.

My Parents have sold my Xperia.......

They tought cause of me leaving my Xperia back home and going to Barcelona with my Touch HD, I didn't want the Xperia anymore.

I'm kinda sad, Xperia was my first WM phone love, the reason I didn't bring it to barcelona was cause of the case cracks.

I'm closing down the Thread untill an other dev, want to take over...

Sorry all!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kunz:
*shocked*

i feel sorry for the pple who have donated...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
the donated phone is dcordes his, not mine!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kheavy:
I wonder if the webOS would port any different than Android?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
when this thread is closed, this point makes no difference :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tsponge:
Wow!

How could I see this coming!!

Sorry dude now you look dodge...

"Cloesed cause I'm away"

"Closed until I have time"

Then ppl donate to get you started again THEN BAM!

"Closed cause my parents sold my x1" ?!

I could be very wrong on this! just the way it looks from the occational "thread" surfer

Just glad I didn't and won't donate!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Well Don't forget the time spent on the donation till the part we came.

booting up, colours working etc etc......

Closed cause i'm away, If I'm in Barcelona and don't have my pc with me.... What can i do....

Don't talk bull**** when you are not a senior member.

Just glad you didn't donate, cause if you did I would throw the donation away!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ganondolf:
u did your best and thats all that could be asked.

i do think that the donate to buy someone a phone to use to make software/test stuff should stop ( i know the phone was not for u).

i think that any donations should be for software made etc and not for buying handsets as it seem a lot of people ask for donations to buy handset, do a few days/weeks (im not talking about u) work and then stop (keep a free handset).

i can think of 4 people who have got x1's through donations and only 2 of them are making or using the handset for the benifit of the forum members.

ps. this is not aimed at u but others. i think donations for hansets should stop
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
Well, donating is totally up to yourself... And donating for a phone as well. But I think you have to prove yourself first to ask for donations so you can buy a phone (not to you, xmoo).

I'm just a little sad now that your Xperia is gone and the devellopment won't continue. But I really thank you for your efforts you have done so far! We now at least have some colourfull, partly working Android :P

Have fun in Barcelona, if you're still there!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] thuhoan:
i hope someone can pick up where he left :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Yep, 17 more days to go.

there is a bit of good news. Android is working on Virtualisation. So this means, running Android on ur phone like VMWare.

But only thing now... Is waiting if microsoft accepts that :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
Where to get the virtualisation stuff for the Xperia?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
I'd like to know that too..... I've seen an article stating it exists, but I can't find it anywhere
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
vmware, but it has to be released first.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Alex Atkin UK:
This begs the question - what kind of parents sell stuff without asking first if you still wanted it? And if they do and you DID want it, its entirely down to them to replace it.

My mum would never DREAM of selling any of my stuff without asking first. In fact, if ANYONE sold any of my stuff without asking I would kick their bloody arse. Whats mine is mine regardless of where I left it.

Seriously, this does sound rather bogus. You had your Touch HD with you so there is no excuse for them to sell it without calling you first. What if your Touch HD had broken? I always keep my own phones as backups for just that likelihood.

Don't get me wrong, you are well within your right to stop development for any reason at all. But if I were you, I would be REALLY pissed if my parents had so much as touched my stuff without asking.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] robbiekr:
I really would love to have android, with recent Android:OK developments it should be possible to have it, right?!?! Hope someone else wants to get it working!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Well this isn't the first time they did somethin like this...

They've done it a couple of times.

But that's the thing when ur young.

Your parents are still the boss.

Can a admin slot this thread?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] liamhere:
this thread is reopened

at the request of the OP

thank you
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Alright Re-Opend.

DCORDES IS CMING TO KICK ASS, STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
waiting for new talent
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wollyka:
Interesting :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FelixAkk:
f***in A! Best news in XPERIA ROM dev. in a while! :)

I'll be ready to do testing whenever you need it. Gonna keep my good eye on this thread again.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Well Dcordes is no new talent, he is a know linux developer.

Some guys here on XDA donated some money in order for him to ga a xperia.

But just because of him not being finished with the HTC KAiser, that phone had priority #1.

Now the Kaiser times are gone, and it is Xperia time!

We will gimme the updates soon, and also he is gonna be active in this thread.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] choijensen:
:D reli looking forward for a working android on x1!

hope u can make Sense UI on it too
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] theredundant:
I reckon once someon gets their hands on HTC Hero and android running on xperia, we'll be good? I HOPE! :D Kinda dig the Sense :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Chaosstorm:
Well xmoo we already have "another" team working on linux on xperia :rolleyes: click here
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rRaka:
i´m positive surprised about the big xperia community and i hope you guys will get it working
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Dunno, as I said before I don't own a X1 anymore, so I'm off in all of this.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] m1le5:
is this going anywhere? dcordes sounds promising but i hope its gonna work!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] brumbrum:
I hope this allows progress on the Blackstone-, Topaz- and Rhodium-android-development also because all these devices are very simular.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] m1le5:
definately...could someone post on any progress
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
i can't find dcordes sine 3 days - maybe he will tell more. Atm i'm working on patch for htc-msm kernel for X1. From my last research, i have full working:

- sd reader

- keyboard

- slider (event dispatch)

- all front buttons without d-pad

- full size touchscreen (still wrong rotated)

- usb0 eth device

- working andgstrom dist.

Maybe something more. I started my research from scratch, so i don't test sound etc. atm.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] m1le5:
sounds good...i like the upside down, it's quirky (Y).that's all cool, glad of your hard work!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
Here is my first demo package (working andgstrom with my version of kernel).

1. Download http://aiv-dev.info/opensource/xperiax1/aiv-x1-pack-01.zip

2. Unpack anywhere to you phone

3. Run haret-x1.exe
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
You have initrd-aiv-04.rar in the package...these all have to be extracted?

Regards,

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] infazz:
it's initrd-aiv-04.gz

but anyway i havethe same question ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
only extract zip file

don't touch initrd-aiv-04.gz :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] infazz:
is it normal that booting lasts that long ? :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
1 on 10 bootings you can have some problems with "calibration dalay loop"

ATM this problem it not resolved.

Reboot your phone or wait some time - it will boot.

if it's stop at msmfb_probe() you need to reboot (this is second booting not resolved bug)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] infazz:
waitin for 10 mins already... and nothing(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
waiting on calib... function ?

Try to reboot. Maybe u have other version of x1?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] infazz:
the line made it's job, went from begining to the end, and then nothing, exept Go Go Go.. apeared in textfield at the bottom...

x1i custom 6.5 rom
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
Here is small update http://aiv-dev.info/opensource/xperiax1/aiv-x1-pack-02.zip

Changelog:

- kernel with fbcon rotation support

- update cmdline in default.txt - default rotation
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
- try to copy all files to root directory at your sd

- try version 2 of my pack

- try with usb cable unplugged

That is something wrong with haret or haret config.

1. Connect your phone via usb/active sync

2. Run haret-x1.exe

3. Click "Listen for network connection"

4. Connect via telnet to 169.254.2.1 on port 9999

5. Copy all messages from welcome message and past it here :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chul:
Weird the system always asks me to enter X1 Login and Password O.O

FYI, I'm a total "noob" when it comes to those kind of stuff :(

Please help. What do I need to enter!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ksk_:
enter "root" for the user name :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chul:
Just wondering, but is there no UI. Is everything in command-line mode?

I'm entering "root", and all I get out of it is: root@xln1 or whatever. So basically, only a forwarding to enter smth else :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] choijensen:
it showed root@x1 and i dunno wt should i type
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lucleonhart:
That's linux! There is just a command line like in good old DOS. You have to load a window system for a GUI. So now you just have that command line and you see: Linux is running on my X1!!!

If you know how to operate linux command line you can try some commands.

"ls" -> list all files and folders in the current directory

"cd foldername" -> change to that folder

"cd .." -> folder up

etc.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] choijensen:
lol that means i hav to type cd xxx to launch android?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
This is not Android. This is Angstrom (linux distribution). Android != Angstrom.

This is huge step to run full android on x1 :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] choijensen:
O i get it

thx
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] HATA28:
UI

So there is no UI for linux on xperia right now?

Where can I find the old android files (with UI), posted earlier?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] skero666:
Hmmm, i tried the second version and it's working on my xperia, very well i can say.

If i am not mistaken if we got this distribution of linux going on xperia it should be possible to boot into Android right? how can we do that?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
Hello

I will try to prepare some images with android today. I never try to run it with this kernel :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] skero666:
Sweeeeet :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] skero666:
just for my fun i tried your kernel with a android image from the latest Raphael build, i was to lazy to search for a blackstone build.

I got to the android boot splash and then the phone freezes... but again i tried this from curiosity because i had nothing to do :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] HATA28:
I'll try that kernel with blackstone right now :)

EDIT: Cant get it to work :(

EDIT: Is it necessary to put all android files on your phone or is it also possible to put them on your sd-card?

Can anyone tell me how to get Android or another linux distribution (with UI!!!) on my xperia x1i ?

I know a lot about computers and windows, but I dont even know the basics of Linux.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
aiv,

Why not adding the screen align cördinets in the default.txt, this will pass the screen align in the begining while booting.

This helped on the blackstone to get more often boot.

Good luck.

Ps. I'd seen that it also worked on WM6.5 :O

On the Touch HD it doesnt (havn't tried yet) in WM 6.5....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
xmoo you mean msmts_calib? did u see my default.txt? We have "msmts_calib=0xc5.0x399.0x367.0x4d" in cmdline.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] philrich1:
Really Good Work

Hi,

Tried this today, ran first time and was able to log on as root.

Kept trying and still works, really like the fact hardware heyboard works, so much easier.

Really would like to see an image though, to run after loading Angstrom.

Can't the image from xmoo/dcordes be built in?

If a donation would help, please let me know where to send.

If you need someone to test, please add me to the list!

Also if someone with a HTC Hero could dump the ROM, I would pay anything to have that working on the X1, it looks beautiful beyond words.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Yes I mean that one, and nope. Havn't seen it, don't own a Xperia anymore :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
I can't image, how parents can sold you xperia :)

kernel+init

Can anyone tel me wich combination of kernel and init works?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
have anyone figured out which wifi-chip the X1 got?

at the moment i'm playing around with angstrom but the usb0 is too buggy and looses many packets. i only found specs like:

Wireless:LAN:	802.11b, 802.11g

which simply says nothing :(

anyway: thanks aiv! the display-rotation-fix and the working keyboard brings the fun to me! ;)

edit: ok... looks like the wifi-chip is integrated in the Qualcomm MSM7200A, but i cant find the necessary kernel-module to get it recognized by the angstrom-kernel

--

cyberdesigner.net
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] NSRocket:
The wifi-chip of X1 is a TNEW12511 (WinMo driver -> tnetw1251.dll, base address = 0x78070000, driver entry at 0x78087e4c) certified 802.11b/g and manufactured by Texas Instruments. This single chip is interfaced to MSM7200A by one of these SDIO port.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
aiv: have you self compiled the kernel? used the htcraphael.conf? because there is no wifi keyword in MACHINE_FEATURES.

could you please provide a kernel with:

MACHINE_FEATURES = "kernel26 apm alsa irda usbgadget usbhost keyboard touchscreen screen wifi bluetooth phone vfat"

MACHINE_FEATURES += "iwmmxt"

just like the htcuniversal.conf mention?

(/me needs a "lshw" for angstrom!)

anyways

"Since 2007-04-26, Angstrom syslogd logs to a standard file, /var/log/messages" this would really be helpful for debugging!

as i´ve seen, you are using 2008.1 which should have this feature - but there is no /var/log/messages... any thoughts?

--

cyberdesigner.net
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
Thanks! i will read on this!

edit: did you realy meen:TNEW12511 ? not TNETW12511?

edit2: uhm... can`t find anything for linux+TNEW12511/TNETW12511 <- bad news...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] NSRocket:
Ooops :o (forgot to strike key), yes I mean TNETW12511. I found only this :

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/wlan/ti.git;a=summary

This is android open sources driver and tools for Texas Instruments 1251 WLAN chip. Parse the tree, there's TNETW driver.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
some informations i gathered @ #htc-linux :

[21:42:52] <tmzt> I would suggest trying sd12xx driver, not the g1 driver

[21:47:43] <tmzt> it's a new port of the acx driver to the mac80211 stack

[21:50:06] <tmzt> wifi has yet to work on non-android/non-g1 I think

[21:59:06] <tmzt> still looking for the git tree for that, I've seen some patches

[21:59:24] <tmzt> which I had an acx sdio card (and a libertas one) for my laptop

[21:59:30] <tmzt> would make this stuff much simpler

so i think i have to wait for already applied patches :( i hope they will help us out for wlan...

i have to keep off for today...

Howto to start Android with haret on X1

Hi all. I want to boot android with the haret.exe but by x1 freeze @ 100% when loading.

Can anyone give me a link or a ordered list with necessary's steps to run android with haret on my Xperia X1? This Thread has much of discussions and so im confused and i did'nt find some anker how to start android with haret.

I still asking myself :

1. Which confguration Kaiser,Diamond,Raphael,Polaris...?

2. Do i need another ROM. i got my X1 on June 09.

3. Where i have to copy the files. SD-Card or phone Memory.

Anyone has a link where i can find some HowTo?

I'm very pleased for some answers.

-Stefan
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
This is my own kernel branch based on htc-msm-2.6.27 from linuxtogo.org.

ATM there is no wifi support. After booting type zcat /proc/config.gz to get my kernel config.

syslogd is starting just before login prompt. I don't know why isn't starting correctly, but you can run it manually: "syslogd".
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] therealreddavid:
I wonder how many people there are who see this thread, get all excited, click on it, and when confronted with this near-indecipherable Linux-talk, completley zone out for quite some time, only phasing back in to conscious reality to see a reflection of their face in their glossy monitors expressing a look of confusion on a par with that of a four year old child faced with the conundrum of "Why isn't grandmummy waking up, daddy?". And then, do it all over again a couple of days later. Personally, I hope it's lots, because I'd be kinda embarrassed if I was the only one.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mitchelleersel:
Don't be embarrassed im flabbergasted here aswell. I do think it's a good thing there doing here.

The only thing i'm missing is a first post with good instruction how to install and where to download. I'm not saying: make it noobproof. but a just make it a little more Clear.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
First post with project details, noob manual, progress bar, roadmap etc. will be soon (maybe :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dcordes:
I'm glad aiv fixed the keyboard driver. It's really nice to use bash on the kovsky :)

That's basically what I was stuck on. maerjep/madcoder (he made the initial i2c keybaord driver which is also used on raphaels) gave me a hint once but I never followed it.

btw, If a guy with irc nickname "xperia" is reading this, dude please stop doing double work and start reading the logs. the i2c keyboard driver works..

aiv, I think it would be good to add the fixes at linuxtogo soon.

with regard to the wifi: start by adding the ti1251 from android wifi git to your local kernel tree. then make sure you are using the correct gpios for wifi power etc and have something load the firmware correctly. also have a look at "wlan_cu"
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
for the other direction: does anyone else have the laggy usb0 connection-problem?

i will try to build a kernel with wifi support to get rid of waisting time ;)

--

cyberdesigner.net
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aiv:
yep

i wonder is it possible to run usb controller in host mode, and connect ethernet or wifi card on dongle ? ;]
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
ok... then its not my (hardware-)fault ;)

as i remember host mode is a hardware-feature... (the controller have to provide the energy for usb-clients) i dont know if the usb-connector in xperia have this feature. i think we should try to get the existing controller working :)

at the moment my workstation is building/compiling my first try (without any changes!) lets hope it will work... then i could test changes ;)

--

cyberdesigner.net
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dcordes:
yes it's possible but somebody must write the host driver for msm usb. then you will need to supply power.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] commodoor:
Couldn't you guys start a newt thread with good information in the first post and then followed by ur updates/fixes. right now everything is messed up.

in the first posts there is android information but how i see it you are working on Angstrom, am i right?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
android is more or less just a GUI for angstrom.

so once angstrom fully runs, android wont be much of a problem
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lucleonhart:
Hey. Yeah, i would like to see a new clean Thread, too... I visit this forum every day just for Android development... So lets get a nicer place to visit. :)

I have another small question. Some time in the future, when everything is running with Linux on X1 and even Android boots on top of that... Would it be possible to have an Linux ROM to flash? Or do always need a WinMo Rom where Linux is running on top, where Android is running on top so i have 3 Layers? That's not that fast, is it... ^^
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] philrich1:
I further this, I know xmoo started this thread but maybe a mod can change the original poster or something like that? I'm checking few times a day now...

If the progress could be updated in the first post that would be even better, I understand there is another thread where there is so much developer talk but hey it is pretty interesting to see how itchingly close they are to getting the bootable.

Keep up the good work!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
if i got it rigth then htret kicks winmo completly out of the ram. otherwise it would be impossible for linux to initialize/use any hardware.

so in the worst case u just need a winmo rom which is striped down to the total basics. that should boot up pretty fast.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Vitaltecht0n:
I can't wait for Android, this is not a thread is like a book,suspense (xmoo parents have sold his Xperia, now what?) drama, and I'm waiting for a happy ending. One more for testing
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Dcordes, greate to see all of you kicking ass.

If you want me to change to begining post just pm me, like you did with kaiser etc...

Or if you want to start a new one tell me aswell, so I tell the mods to lock this one.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Reversedhex:
isnt that the same wifichip as the kaiser has?

but why is wifi needed to boot android?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mingoid:
Can I add my voice to the previous posters asking for changes to the thread. Although I appreciate that the forum is used by ROM developers to collaborate, there is obviously huge interest in the implementation of Android on Xperia by us simple, grateful folk who just want something to implement! At the moment I can't tell from this thread:

Whether the focus is on Angstrom or Android

What stage development is at - i.e. "this driver implemented, this ported"

Whether the intention is to produce a "production ROM" or is an interesting problem for developers to play with, without an intention of completion in the near future (if so interest may die off from us noobs!).

Some background to the current push for Angstrom would also be of interest - is it a case of getting drivers working for Angstrom and then Android will happily work on top of this or does Android need particular drivers itself. Does Android currently run on Angstrom or is this a completely separate Linux implementation to the normal kernel? Is this the normal method for Android porting?

I know I'm a noob with regards to this (although I'm an IT developer in other areas) - and I'm sure some of you may think you have better things to do than to cater for noobs, but any clarification or explanation would, I'm sure, be gratefully received by both me and my fellows!:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
our focus is simply to get a linux kernel running at the xperia

download the posted files and try it to see what we have

no one is working for noobs/"production ROM" or things like that... look at your first question. nobody know when it will be done... but wasting time in answering such questions dosnt bring it closer to what you want...

take a look at dcordes sig...
