If you save it, it will save zImage as a .txt

Use total commander and rename zImage.txt to zImage

Weird that only I can boot it up :S

Someone else can boot aswell??

We need to get more xperia users involved!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] methodz:
i'm rooting for you guys so badly to get this working. definitely would donate $$$ to this cause.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Evostance:
I would get myself involved but I dont want to wreck my phone.

I did a lot of stuff on the Viewty in regards to hacking and cracking but never on a winmo phone.

Dont want to screw it up
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Well I had my TyTN II the second day that it released.

I did the Android project on the TyTN II.

It's almost been a year and half. My TyTN II is still working (infact my dad uses this phone now)

Yesterday I rebooted my Xperia for about 45 times. And still it's working....

So why be affraid?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] blackax:
I'll re flash my phone when i get home to the rom that you have to see if that will boot it. I will be able to flash back to the normal rom if i dont like the cooked one right?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Evostance:
I wouldn't say im afraid. I just dont want to brick it because there is no way I will be able to get another one.

Also, I dont really know much about flashing the phone and it seems a lot more confusing than flashing a LG Viewty.

I don't know anything about the different ROMS, or what Hard-SPL is.

Ive tried reading but its all so confusing
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Jup, as long as you have HArd-SPL installed you can do anything you want.

Hard SPL unlocked you're SPL (Service Provider Lock)

When this is unlocked, you can do anything you want.

Installing other radio's, rom, bootscreens anything.

The proses is easy.

First instal hard-SPL, if that installed correctly then it's only a matter of reading instructions.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
been through all the relevant mtypes and changed the memory size to no avail, it wont go past go go go

Newbie User INfo

Hi! Im a new user to the whole WinMO phone's.. as I have my 1st one.. wich is my Xperia X1i I already used HardSPL and flashed a few cooked ROM's in this forum... and I've been playing around with it for awhile now (1month) as I flashed a couple of phones back on the time of Nokia 3310 and stuff! as I see U are having some trouble (ppl trying to use this 'OS') wich I find realy interesting and I tried running it myself without succecc (cant spell) U already gave us ur info on the Cooked ROM ur using and the radio version but when I edit the default.txt I see some mem info that states 96mb or something (Im not realy an expert in this matter) but I would like some extra info on what programs / tweaks u r using on ur phone, for example what cach size r u setting in ur phone to use glipht etc! that may help in some way to run the Android (or not)

Regards,

n0brega
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Yes, that;s true. I did tweak my phone.

Gonna post my tweaks today. Currently @ skool.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
left it running for about an hour while I did some other stuff last night, still nothing after the go.

Of course it could have booted into android, soft reset itself and restarted haret to get stuck on the go go go again during that time, but I doubt it ;P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Hmz, that's realy weird. Do I have a special deviece or something??? :S
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] edvardas.m:
can't boot android here as well, waited for about an hour, but still can only see the "Booting Linux..." screen :>

I tried to contact you for a week now.

When do you think you'l be on msn?

I've JUST MADE A CALL!!!!

Video's will be up on post #1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dcordes:
ok that's good. this shows us that some values in the SMD (sort of the bridge between radio and OS) setup of x1 match g1 (trout). at least the AT channel is fully operational. on the htcraphael, trout smd does not work ootb. the at channel only works partially.

so mddi on xmoo's x1 seems to be the same as on raph800 (same color screwup).

touchscreen needs correction for the different size of the display, as does the fb code which is cut off on y after the 640 px of raphael end. also the image drawn to the fb is rotated 180° which I find strange

http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/builds/kernel/xperia/zImage-x1-00.bin can somebody please boot with this kernel and explain what they see?

please boot this zImage as well http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/builds/kernel/xperia/zImage-x1-01.bin
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] DawnJW:
Raphael version is working on the X1, but you see only the main screen and interface but cant really do anything becuase of the colors :P You need to press right left once starting / loading the file.

And it works. This version ain't working with me Xmoo
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dcordes:
please test this zImage-00 and this zImage-01

and tell me what you see in both of them. use the files from the first post, put the 00 01 there and tell haret which zImage to boot using the default.txt. thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FelixAkk:
Tried out 0.8: holy crap! what did you feed this build? :D It works amazing compared to the previous build. All the apps run like a charm. Haven't had one crash or anything.

Here are some things that you're probably also aware of but just to be clear I'll list them:

Cellular isn't initiated after a soft reset.

Although it says it connected with G3 (reception aint as good as in WM sadly), I can't get a network connection.

Can't access SD or Wifi.

Soft keyboard leaves a trail, background isn't redrawn probably. No big deal ofcourse

Screen is still upside down xD

When randomly poking the screen, it sometimes return to the home screen

The OS runs incredibly fast, however frame output seems quite low. Something like 5-8 fps. The whole thing does look brilliant on the Xperia screen and in sexeh colors.

A lot of things work great. To bad I can't test the thing that matters most: how can I make a call? :) I can enter the phone number and all, but I can't dial it. When I press Enter on the soft keyboard, nothing happens. To bad the hardware call button doesn't work, else perhaps we'd also already have the phone part working :)

Cos the phone part does seem to work. When I was fiddling around after a few soft resets, and the network status said it wasn't connected, suddenly I got a call I think, I didn't really look at the number but just accepted it and connected my earphones. No sound ofcourse, and also no way to end the call. So can't really say what it was and if it was really a call that came through.

Android 1.0 seems very unstable here and always hangs after the robot flashed 17 times in the boot screen.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] big:
Ok, v 0.8 test ok, but v 1 running bootscreen >>> standing.

Thanks xmoo
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Chaosstorm:
nice.. 0.8 works good, but some how i calibrated upside down :P

( after a restart and doing it right, it works now ) version 0.8
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] skero666:
Tried android 1.0. The image is upside down and it freezes on the flashing robot android screen... this is promising :) good luck guys
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Alright, now we have to wait for dcordes.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ganondolf:
if we can get android to work, would Web OS be possible too?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
I just booted up 0.8 from the first post (30-03 build). Boots up fine, screen calibration works and colors look ok too. I'm going to play around with it a bit, I'll report back later.....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] philrich1:
Much Better

Hi,

Had a quick go with this, booted the 0.8 version (running Touch-IT 5).

Colours good but screen still upside down.

Everything seemed very smooth, to be honest just wanted to see a working version and this was a very good example.

Will keep trying see if can make calls/sms.

Cheers,

Phil
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
I've had a chat with dcordes.

The screen being upside down i cause of a fault build by HTC.

The've builded the screen upside down, and use something in the boot, to correct the screen rotation.

Dunno if this is true...

Can someone confirm??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] marajin:
heh.. heh.. heh... :D

In theory

maybe

yes, WebOS is still linux based but we'd have to ninja the rom from a pre and that might take a while, and then hack, and palm may not like this much. Android is open source and all so we're pretty in the green there.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] marajin:
Confirm... no...

but it makes perfect sense. There's no real harm to it we just have to do the same screen rotation under linux/android/etc.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kenshinz:
Does it work well ?

I try it for the androdin but the result was the system can't boot normal...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
Well, it is really good to see this project is being continued :) I have downloaded the new 0.8 and 1.0 and tested 0.8: The fist two times I booted it, I didn't calibrate the screen (I was too late, the booting process continued), so I couldn't do anything. The third time I was quick enough to tap the two dots and after booting I had complete access :)

Finally the colours work :D Although in some menus the transition between colours is clearly visible.

The drop down menu works, but there is nothing in it :P

The contacts menu and the other menus work or something, but I can't see anything to save a new contact.

The on-screen keyboard works great, though you have to open a new menu or slide down the top menu to 'erase' the previous drawn keyboard, which is quite annoying.

I sent an sms, or at least it said it was sent, but I didn't receive anything.

Just after booting it says it has 3G or something (just a large G) but I didn't have an internet connection at all, which is not that strange since I didn't have to type in my PIN-code anywhere.

Really good work and I hope this project will be continued :cool:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dr3minem:
It is possible to be called with 0.8 however, the drivers for the microphone and speaker are probably not working right now. I can accept the call and it will start counting, i just cannot hear anything and the other person cant hear me.

Also, i couldnt find a call button in the dialer, but thats because the G1 has the call buttons as hardware, right?

Anyways, keep up the good work, its beautiful :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
I think it's not possible yet. I have a pin code on my sim, which I have to insert before I can use the phone function. I don't get any notification to enter a pin, so I guess I can't make phonecalls.....

So far 0.8 seems to work a lot better than 1.0. Previously I only tested 1.0, which booted but with messed up colors; 0.8 works a lot better. I've got about the same experiences as demster.

I hope the development continues, because I've played with someone's G1 for a bit, and I really like the way the OS is built up.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
Update:

I also called myself and the counter was running, but I hang up after a few seconds. Then after that, I pulled down the drop-down menu and it said I had a missed call. When I placed it back up and after that pulled it down again, the message was gone...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FrezoreR:
has anyone one got pass the GUI booting screen?

it hangs for me as for everyone else.

For the 1.0 version that is
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Chaosstorm:
Try 0.8 it boots good

Why is this Topic taged as "Closed" ?

Are the main developers still working on porting Linux/Android to Xperia X1 ?

I am a long year linux user and i would like to see Linux running on Xperia.

What is the Progress at the moment ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
I now have a running dev environment on my work computer..

Built a couple of variations of zimage off the latest blackstone stuff, but it's still hanging on boot, android logo flashes for a bit then stops and that's it unfortunately.

there's some errors in the compile, do we have an epson chip in there? can i exclude this?

alas my knowledge of android is pretty limited, but I think I'm about to start learning very quickly, I do know my way around *nix though..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] m@rco:
If you read the thread you see that dcordes has the famous crack in the case. His X1 is to repair.

So they are waiting on Dcordes. When he is getting his X1 back the development goes further.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
I itself dont want to run android on the Xperia X1.

I just want as first a pure linux console (like Angstrom) maybe with busybox running on my Xperia.

For this reason i have searched in the last days some StepByStep Howtos

for how to compile the whole stuff.

Especially what for modules have to be included.

It would be great if somebody could be writte here the needed steps for compiling Linux on Xperia.

A example could be

Step. 1: svn co http://.....

Step. 2: ./configure xyz......

Step. 3: make install

Step. 4: copy folder to the micro sd card

Step. 5: copy haret from http://.. to the sd card

and so on

If i have success with building such a linux console version for Xperia i would then adding the needed stuff for having a gui.

My prefered linux distro is the very powerfull and developer orientated Linux Distro T2 that has allready a mobile Phone release.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
Well I just used the android build guidelines in android wiki and the blacklinux stuff on the wiki here.

You can get debian running as a console pretty easily..

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
okay I have 1.0 booting.. but only the keyboard responds to touch, the screen doesn't

I have got my own zimage which may make a difference but I dont know.. What did work was changing to MEM=108 and RAMSize=8000000 in default.txt
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
Can anyone try Xmoos 1.0 with those settings?

If it doesn't work I'll upload my zImage tomorrow.. Just flashed a new rom and forgot to back it up : DOH.. so I'll have to get it from my work computer..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
Ok tryed it with xmoos 1.0 build. It boots, but i think i got the same problem as you.I can use the onscreen keyboard, but if i tap the screen only the notification manager pops out a bit and thats it. Colors are ok
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
ok cool so it's not my new zImage then that's caused it..

glad it was as simple as changing the memory allocation :D

I might try building the latest cupcake to see if I can get it any further along..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shambler:
any success with the latest cupcake ?

regards shambler
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
alas no, my linux box is at work, and I spent the last couple of days actually doing some work there!

might be the end of the week before I get a look,

I did try the builds from either raph or blackstone, can't remember which, and I couldn't get them to work.

I don't really understand how the android.bin is created, most of the cupcake stuff is in a different format.. .
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
Any luck already Fards or XMOO? I'm curious if there's any progress to be made soon.

My X1 is away for repair now; going to test some more when it's back.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
sorry no.

suns been out so I've been really busy at work...

I did start reading up on the g1 specific bits for android though, you can build android with g1 as a target which includes all of the closed source bits such as the sound drivers, which are all msm7201 so I hope it'll work

was going to have a go later but unfortunately got one of my mates funerals to go to.

smoking kills, that's 3 people I know under 40 who've died from smoking relating lung cancer :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
I'm sorry to hear that. Always an impact when someone close to you passes away. Take your time; I'm following this thread anyway, so I'll notice when something happens tomorrow or in a few weeks or months anyway. I still hope someone can get android working on an X1.......

frees at GUI Bootscreen

Hi all!

I also tested the V.0.8 as well as V.1.0.

V0.8

freeze at 100%

V.1.0

Freeze at GUI Boot screen.

I use the original ROM branded from "A1 Vodafone" Austria.

ROM Version: 1.03.169.9

ROM Date: 12/21/08

Model: X1i

I was just able to boot with the zImage for TouchHD, but the screen was splited. (not realy useable)

Hope to see some updates soon, because a friend of mine got a G1 and now i want him to show that X1 is better, because it can run WM AND Android ;-)

What do you exactly mean?

I read ALL posts!

I just wanted to tell that Android is not booting on my system.

I also know that xmoo has less/no time and dcordes X1 is in repair. I just wanted to post my testing results.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
have you realy read the Posts? In the following Post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3461526&postcount=367 you can get a file which definitly boots up fine for android 0.8!

Why did you want to tell us things we allready know? Why you are hoping to recently fast get a full working android? even if you allready gathered this thread? we are far away from a usable android port! but, jey, we are on the way ;-)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FelixAkk:
It occured to me that the recently released HTC Magic (which sports the delicious new Cupcake :) ) has the same chipset inside.

Perhaps this could be a source of packages/resources that could also be used for the Xperia? (The color issue was also fixed by taking drivers from another released Android device right?)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyberdesigner.net:
yes, the hardware is nearly the same...

yes, the colour issue has gone by using this files from the touch.

but the system isn't stable. and there are much parts that currently wont work. but because the lag of informations we are stuck at this point.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rene.knight:
succsess

im sure i am way behind on this project but i only started looking into it today, and looking at older posts it seems people are still having the same promlems, but as i have no problems installing android 0.8 (linked in teh very first post) on my xperia i thought maby i should give my input. i have not tested 1.0 yet because i wanted first to ask if there is any point. what is new in 1.0 because from teh looks of 0.8 its a completely empty shell. xperia keyboard dont work, the icons displaying batery and network connection seem bogus and the onscreen keyboard has a really annoying graphical bug. allso i see nothing but empty menus and options. one of the settings is to show cpu activity but this does not appear. basically my question is, is it worth installing 1.0 or is it just as empty as 0.8, can you actually use your phone while using android on my xperia.

edit:

seems 1.0 boots fine, but during loader it says something about not being able to access "tty; job conroll turned off" then after some time android text comes up with two of the android aliens or what they are, one of them flickering like a tv with bad reception. any steps to go from here or is that as far as progress has gone?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
Hey all,

A month or so ago I was able to make a phonecall (no sound ofcourse), but I could dial a number and call it and the other phone rang :) If I remember correctly I was able to do so by pressing F4 on the on-screen keyboard (what else :P), but I was too lazy to write it down. Also I was able to do a little more with the 'F-keys'. Just give it a try. Some keys will get you back to the desktop, most do nothing and maybe some will do something ;)

I hope this project will be continued soon!

Cheers!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
sorry guys, I meant to say i'd built cupcake against the G1 closed source bits today at work. But I don't know enough about how to call it from haret. or how to create the standard .bin (if thats what needed).
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Chaosstorm:
Hmm.. maybe pm dcordes or xmoo? or pop in the touch hd forum?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rene.knight:
oh well, untill the time comes where android will work 100% on xperia i have allways ifonz, spb3 and tomtom7 to play arround with on my phone :) allways fun trying different software to see what this amazing little thing can do. good luck to your developement guys would love to see some progress, but i guess by the looks of how fast this has gone sony will come out with an android phone before you guys manage to develop the OS enough to function as a complete device. good luck and good work!

alas!... off 2 android I go...!

Hello people!.. Have not made many posts in these forums but have been an avid member for a long while.

I have flashed my x1 with so many of your cool roms.. tried to make a few myself, but i`m not as good as some of you guys! :confused:

I loved my x1, for all it`s beefy hardware, quality of build etc.. but having seen how nice the android software looks... I longed for this thread to develop a bit quicker.

It seems people have turned to other phones, or got more important things on.. So i`ve ordered a magic!

Windows mobile was great.. if hard to configure :mad: but android just looks so sexy!! and customisable!

I now have both phones tho... or will do in the mornin... so I would be happy... to play with both...

to help the cause!... I`m sure i`ve read here somewhere that it is 'theoretically' possible to port the rom. The magic has a similar chipset?? yes / no??

in any case.. i`m off to android!

Good luck, if this project ever starts up again!!

pm me if u wanna get me doin sum stuff!
