0.8 working...

YAY!

I got goose bumps when it loaded...I am sure with the right ppl, time and money, android on the X1 can be pulled off...I will see if I can find someone who is maybe willing to accidently email me a datasheet for the CPU and what else ?

But don't get your hopes up..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gregnm369:
Qualcomm spends millions developing chipsets. To give away their research for all to use is silly. They must make their money back with profits to further their business. That part is business 101.

I'm with the rest of folks on this board, someone with REAL experience needs to reverse engineer components to get anywhere.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauner1986:
Money just sucks somehow..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
reverse engeneering is only realy needed when u want to squeeze 100% out of the chipset.

the current engine uses the framebuffer which is some sort of standard method to get some graphics output (on the PC at least). getting that running would be more then enuff for the beginning. well actualy it allready uses this method, just the colors are fecked up.

with some luck, one of the future HTC Android devices will have the same grahpics chip and then we can just rip those.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Had a meeting with Dcordes yesterday.

He's off to his work training and be back around friday.

So stay tuned.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dcordes:
yea thx to xmoo I have the highly discounted xperia now. free and personal express delivery from nl>germany!

I started documenting the gpios and we found data in the spl. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KovskyResearch the camera is no sony camera but one of the normal aptina cameras as found in the other newgen htcs.

the keyboard and buttons is the same microcontroller > i2c thing as found in the raphael. so that will be easy.

unfortunately with the latest raphael kernel code, x1 doesn't work. it freezes at some point. I will sort out which commit caused this breakage and see how we can work around it for x1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] XavierGr:
Great, it seems that you know what you are doing.

So you opened the device apart and started tracing? If so can you see if the TVout function is routed to the 3.5mm jack or USB cable like the Raphael? That should put an end to the continuous pondering as to if SE dropped it entirely.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
But if the camera is a normal camera how come the Touch HD is fu compared to Xperia??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] joej:
Different drivers/software to drive the same camera module produces different results.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Turboguard:
I've tried to find some straight answers about the progress of getting android to run on X1i but I can't.

Does either 0.8 or 1.0 work now? or what's going on.

I'm not a computer tech so don't understand all things you guys are saying. hehe.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dcordes:
ok I've made some progress. the 2.6.27 kernel boots and gpio documentation is more complete.

edit: sd works too

unforatunately I have discovered different cracks in the housing of my xperia and won't continue until I have this solved.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FelixAkk:
In short: Most people aren't able to run Android, and of those few even less are able to run 1.0. Both 0.8 and 1.0 run in a very poor state and are not even remotely ready for practical use (no data connection etc.) Right now I believe the focus is on getting SD-card and display to work properly.

Dcordes, please elaborate on your progress with the gpio documentation and the new kernel. Really interested here :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
Already?? any chance of posting the booting kernel?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
because, as i read SE is only thinking about using android for one of the next models (which could be based on the X1. but would be different in some parts :-( )
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FelixAkk:
Considering the rate at which hardware develops and the (high) aim of the XPERIA brand I think it's pretty certain any X>1 device will not feature the MSM7200A chipset which the X1 sports and we are lacking good drivers of.

Anyway, best of luck with your exams to you Xmoo. Do you think Dcordes will continue his work though (after he got the cracks fixed)? Would be a shame if development would halt.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
No, we will both continue....

The point is after my Exam i'm also moving to Barcelona for 6 months of study. I will have acces to the internet. So Also from there I will try to do as much as I can!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Alright, heres the deal.

Dcordes is fixing his xperia.

I'm taking a look at it 2morrow. (2 morrow exams is php, and that should be easy for me)

So hope to have some new things 2 morrow.

Dcordes had made a fresh kernell but he hasn't tested it yet. And he wants to be the first, cause in case something is wrong he can fix it before uploading.

So stay tuned.

the ASUS drivers wont help us. it's an intel XSCALE CPU and therfore a different graphic chipset.

Looks like XMoo has seen that movie too (look at the first comment). I hope he'll get the files and be able to port it to Touch HD (which he asks for) and Xperia :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
uuhhh ... that might be ideed usefull. at least this could spare us the "develop a display driver" part. i doubt that qualcomm will release the sourcecode for the drivers but maybe they throw out the compiled drivers. liek ATI / nvidea usualy do

Nice to see qualcomm are really taking the idea of "open source" to heart /sarcasm

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
Have you realised the publucation date? That are realy old news. as i remember SE doent want to release an android for the X1.... eventually the X2 could be android driven....

Good point, well made. =)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
But the G1 also has a qualcomm cpu or am i wrong?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
CPU and Touchscreen are allready working fine. problems so far are the Hardware keyboard (more a matter of mapping if i read it right) and the Display driver. thats unless u want fecked up colors :D

so you got linux to boot through more without getting stuck? hows the screen/color?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
I don't have my Xperia with me in Barcelona.

So if any update comes from you guys, please let me know in a pm.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] KeiAiAm:
Well I get just trough the booting screen, and android starts. But after that, you can not use it. You can nor open the menu at the bottom, neither can you not press the icons (mail, maps, calendar and so on). The phone does not react anymore, so the only way is a softreset. For those who stuck at the booting linux screen (freezing), try to install .net framework 3.5 first. And last but not least, the android folder has to be in the main memory.

Best Regards

KeiAiAm
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
I think the problem is that you do not have calibrated your touch screen during linux boot. You have to tab the left upper corner and the right bottom corner of your screen. After that your touchscreen should work fine

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] philrich1:
Hi Guys,

Been waiting for some more input into this project, but I can understand if lack of hardware to test will stop work.

I have tried booting the new zImage posted by Shambler, under Android (not Angstrom). When loading Haret, it says 'Booting Linux' the 'Go,Go,Go' and then the system hangs and soft reset has to be performed.

Anyone else had any luck in booting this?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
Hi,

Have you changed the default.txt otherwise it would not work

Greets shambler
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Cheeze[iT]:
What are we suppose to change in the txt? I'm also having trouble booting it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
I used this settings:

set MTYPE 2030

set KERNEL zImage.bin

set INITRD initrd-android10.bin

set RAMADDR 0x10000000

set RAMSIZE 0x6000000

set cmdline "mem=98M"

bootlinux

the most important thing is to change the MTYPE to 2030 then it should boot

Greets shambler
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Cheeze[iT]:
Awesome it worked! Color looks awesome. A lot better than before =P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] arkkr:
Yeah... the colours are better now...

But can anyone explain if the Andriod image and Kernel are available as it is or we have to compile/build them seperately for differently with different parameters???

i mean is it the same android and kernel img being installed on all PPCs ??

Thanks...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
I think this is the kernel for touch hd and x1 online cause they nearly have the same hardware.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
Hi xmoo,

Does the x1 has a different sd hardware cause i tryed the off ram version provided in the touch hd development thread (from CyberSalsero). Linux boots very fast. Screen can be initialized, but during android boot it says "file not found " . Is there already any solution for it or sd driver?

Greets shambler
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
have you tried several boots?

If it keeps saying cannot find, then it is a SD-Driver issue.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
Ok will try some more. i tryed 2-3 times

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneLinux#Runningx20.Androidx20.1x2e.0

I've not looked at the recommended diff yet to see if there's anything that we can change to get the x1 working.

best start oiling my rusty coding skills I suppose.. :( Don't hold your breath on this, I have compiled more than a few nix kernels before

Xmoo if you've any pointers it'd be appreciated.

I did notice this on the raphael wiki though

RAPH800 color issue has been identified, and can be fixed by changing mdp.c, line 235 to this:

dma2_cfg |= DMA_DSTC0G_6BITS | DMA_DSTC1B_5BITS | DMA_DSTC2R_5BITS;

before I started I thought I'd try what's already been done.

I've tried the latest prebuilt kernels from the HD thread, and quite a lot of different options in the default.txt to no avail. it's failing as it can't find the mmcblk0

Looks like the SD card is being recognized as mmc0 but it's not picking up any of the files from there.
