3) d video shows 2 click on d android loaded on d xperia x1 but how do i get android on my xperia x1 d one i downloaded i told u d probs wid dat plz help me out on dis......
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scholbert:
Hi gauravinvouge!

I'm sorry bro, but Android on Xperia still needs some development.

Unfortunately there are to less developers :p

Please read the thread, if you are interested.

Right now the kernel has to be put into a bettrer shape :o

It has been written many times:

http://x1android.spikedsoftware.co.uk/

Our fellow japanfred has made an script for these files.

These are still beta testing, barely useful for noobs i suppose.

What official site :confused:

It's too much for me to help out every individual on how to get along with this. Please do not take this personal, but you have to read and get some information about it.

Anyway thanks for your interest :rolleyes:

To all the non noobs out there:

I nearly finished bootcode disassembly (~95%).

Thanks goes out again to cmonex how pointed me to the correct load address for this part of code.

To get some useful stuff out of it this i will need some help!

Otherwise i will sit there for some more hours staring at my PC screen...

I try to get some information about the init processes in bootcode, to improve some of the linux kernel driver.

Most part of bootcode is already running at virtual address.

I will need to translate some physical addresses to virtual memory for a better understanding.

Most wanted is to make a virtual map of the register set from MSM7200, while the platform is running windows mobile.

Don't know if someone already created such a list...

dcordes has made a general memory map some time ago:

http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/misc/x1-mmu.txt

Attached you will find some header files taken from android legacy bootcode.

Would be nice if someone out there will go through it and build up a list.

If you don't know what i'm talking about, don't tell anyone.

If you know better way to get these values, tell me :D

If you think i'm crazy, don't tell me ;)

Regards,

scholbert
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lucleonhart:
Hey Scholbert.

I visit here every day to see for new results with Xperia... I'm really sorry that i cannot help here (really not a single bit of linux kernel skills... i'm just a c++ developer)... but i think what you are doing here is really great.. thanks again! :)

And:

I don't know what you are talking about... linux stuff! ^^

I do not know better ways to get the values...

You are crazy maaaaaaaan! :p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] allenx1:
yes i do appreciate the work you guys are doing!

I can't wait til i can have that android gui on my xpera! i love that panning bg when u switch home screens lol
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauravinvouge:
hey bro thnx 4 ur interest

1) by official site i meant d android site where d android platforms r dere but it doen;st hav android 1.1 but newer versions dat file wen i loaded in my x1 and tried 2 run setup.exe it sayts not a valid pocket pc application

2) in d video dat is attached it shows dat d android is already stored in d x1 i wanna know where can i find android so dat i may store it and run haret...

thnx 4 ur time and effort......
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bahkyp:
He bro, you could use English (some people are not native speakers and your post will be unintelligible to them, and bablefish and other translation engines will bork).

Your answer,

1 read the wiki. You also may need sdkcerts.cab to run haret.exe

2 read the wiki, Android is a work in progress, not a finished phone system on X1, you will not be able to use it to make calls (yet).

And to stop your next question, the search function will find many links to the wiki in this thread. Like the word "here" in post #291.

And on the screen rotate I know this is the emulator but I don't have an ADB connection to try it out. If it works the hardware can be backward and we just flip it in code like you can flip a screen with x11. They have the 0, 1, 2, 3 codes I like.

http://discuz-android.blogspot.com/2008/01/change-android-screen-landscapeportrait.html

Rotate Android Screen to Landscape/Portrait

Here are some tips of android screen rotation.

On the emulator, after the Android system is started up, open another command window, type the following command line in the adb shell to change the screen to landscape:

# service call window 18 i32 1

type the following command line to change the screen to portrait:

# service call window 18 i32 0
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] joker.mn:
well, i am in some kind of trouble with my mind.

i think i speak for a quite large group of visitors of this thread:

i cannot contribute very much code-wise because the only coding languages i learned were qbasic and pascal. also i never worked much with linux apart from installing ubuntu once or twice. so i would be that part of the community that simply spams the forums. (esp. in this thread.). There would be less spam if the first post concluded a hint to the current hosted versions and the howto that scholbert posted.

however, apart from not being able to help codewise i really am interested in using the android on the X1. all i can do is read silently to learn about the current progress. i am very happy each time i can read a post by scholbert because this means there is some kind of progress going on. i think he will manage to port that thing within the next... well years? : ) (mostly due to the lack of help^^).

so i think you shouldn't wonder why noone is posting stuff that actually contributes currently. i think most of the people that read this whole thread so far and cannot contriubte dont reply any longer due being told not to spam.

however, most of us still read and are looking forward to see the next releases to help betatesting on our devices.

so far thank you for your awesome work and esp. scholbert for keeping things up.

@japanfred:

I just checked your new build 2009/11/20 on my X1a

It stucks at ANDROID...

[20.912597]init: cannot find '/system/bin/sh', disable 'console'

....

[21.148986]init: cannot find '/system/bin/installd', disable 'installd'

wait for you new build :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] joker.mn:
i am not sure whether this is helpful.

i found a website that deals with getting information from qualcomm CPUs used in mobile phones. maybe there will be some help? at least there were many people posting. so maybe one can ask them for help with our project.

https://www.codeaurora.org/index.php?qhep
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] japanfred:
Hey,

I don't check these daily, it is merely the latest build of the kernel. It's all automated, i do nothing.

I will check it on my X1, but i would suggest trying an older build of it from the website :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Toe_Cutter:
I am a native speaker and even I don't understand what the hell he's typing?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scholbert:
Hi joker.mn!

i really appreciated your comment and i understand what you'd like to point out.

I'm aware that there are only a few guys out there with deeper knowledge about linux kernel to help us out.

In fact this is not the main issue!

How about scientific curiosity!

If some one is willing to learn and a curious guy, this should be taken in small steps!

But who in fact is doing useful experiments and tries to solve some issues on his own.... reads and tries to learn from the solution we already posted.

There are only a few :rolleyes:

Many people just sit and wait.

O.K. maybe it's easy for me to point it out like this, because i got certain overview.

At least i'm also a lousy programmer and i just hope we'll make some efforts soon!

As far as i know cr2 is involved in this project!

Great site, great guys!

Yes this is helpful, thanks for this information, joker.mn!!

Who's asking for help :D

P.S.:

Made some further progress with the SPL disassembly.

Hopefully i'll get something useful out of it the next days :o

Best regards,

scholbert
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] joker.mn:
well i thought they do a comparable thing that we (rather you!) are trying to do. maybe you will get more help there. (talking bout people having skills to help).

anyways, still watching and waiting for more to come!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SorWrath:
Continue the good work!!

I haven't browse to the xda forums for a while. When i click this post i hoped that i will see something good about android porting to the X1.And you can't believe how excited you got me:D . Continue your good work and i really hope that you bring android to X1.

Thank you in advance :)

Where can I get status of this project ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
You could also have searched this thread, but here you can get more information: wiki.xda-developers
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] saccomani:
OMG, What is the login and PASSWORD to login on x1?

thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
That can also be found in here using search... But when you mean Login and Password for Linux:

user: root

pass: toor

@Others: correct me if I'm wrong
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] saccomani:
Sorry i am still newba :D but when i boot the device for test android i need login on x1, i will test this login! thanks a lot!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] freemini:
Is there any version that is installable for a noob? I mean just copy and run.. I haven't been following the thread but I wanna try it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] joker.mn:
strange...

i never had to enter any password.

and apart from extracting the files to the SDcard and running the haret.exe there is nothing that is magic (and thus cant be done by a "noob")...

try reading in this thread a bit before you ask those questions.

at least read the last 2-3 pages. everything is explained there...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] saccomani:
demster, when I type root it asks the next information that dont know what type ... he say :

sh: directory not found

can you help me?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] saccomani:
:confused:

I have read the topic several times before posting this so I used OMG!

The boot to a party requesting username and password and not give out!

X1 Login: root

hit enter when it shows root @ x1: sh directory not found!

So I asked for help
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jxk25:
Is there any way to run a X1 simulator on a desktop computer? I've read all the posts and i would like to help on this project but i don't own an X1(because of rumors of fragile building materials)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bahkyp:
When the phone came out in 2008 there was a contest to create a new panel; An emulator and an IDE were downloadable from Sony. You need a Windows machine and Visual Studio Professional.

After a google search for "sony xperia IDE" the third link is

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/docstools/windowsmobile/p_windowsmobile.jsp.

This may be able to run Android/Linux or it may not.

Sometime the answers arn't that hard.

I've jsut installed the android rom on my X1

everything looks nice but there's a couple of problems...

1ste one is...everythings upsidedown-_-'

2nd There's a keyboard in the screen and i can't get rid of it
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hhm36:
GUYS

I gonna be crazy... I spend whole morning trying to download android...

any body can tell how to download it?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phanquangkhanh:
I searched, and it showed the user and pass to login is :

user : root

pass : (no password)

But when i typed user and pass, it show : "-sh : not found"

what is this problem and how to solve ?

thanks all.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emazens:
does this work ??

or its only for htc ???

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
To run android:

download this

http://x1android.spikedsoftware.co.uk/20091211-dist.tar.gz

and unzip to your memory card

then browse to where you unzipped and run haret. it should boot no probs! be patient at the black screen!

(course you can't really do anything because its not finished, but it works! :p)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hhm36:
is it work in WM 6.5??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phanquangkhanh:
done as what you said. but it did not go any where :(. just said no such file or directory.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
did you unzip to the root of your memory card?

make sure you don't rename folders

keep it as "tmp"

yes it works in wm6.5 and 6.5.x
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phanquangkhanh:
thanks so much. running now. but no signal, can not make call. is yours ok ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
its not implemented.

android is not fully functioning!

but as you can see there is very good progress!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jossspain:
@ Jonny4911

Thanks, it´s great how is going.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] leobg:
Very good progress indeed!!!

Hopefully soon will be the time when GSM radio support will appear in X1-Android as well as the other wireless radios like the wifi and bluetooth. Android feels so much more smoother than Windows Mobile and so much more intuitive. After trying the test build I am very optimistic this time will come soon - the time when X1 will run fully functional Android OS!

Keep the great work guys!!

BTW - is there a way to turn off the on-screen keyboard and fix screen orientation (rotate 180 degree) in the test build?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
well they managed to rotate the boot up sequence and to hide the keyboard just tap the box that its next too!. i'm sure its just a feature of linux or something that they put in to use keys
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emuX:
Sounds a bit sarcastic considering all the good work these guys are doing. To answer your other questions (a quick search of the thread would also have done that)...

Keyboard: yeah...

You need to do it in the Haret config file (either startup.txt or default.txt, depending on what you've got) and its the msmvkeyb_toggle=on|off|hide option.

msmvkeyb_toggle=on ... show screen keyboard.

msmvkeyb_toggle=off ... disable screen keyboard.

msmvkeyb_toggle=hide ... enabled but hidden initially.

Orientation: yes and no...

They're working on it. You can set the orientation in the console (before Android boots) using fbcon=rotate:2 in the Haret config file (0-3 are supported I think and rotate it differently.) At the moment we can only get Android upside-down.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] denyboy:
When i install this on X1 with haret. Will it remove WM6.5, and will i be able to dual boot or i have to flash again.

Does this remove Hardspl. What is procedure of removing this. I want to try this.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
no it doesnt affect windows mobile at all!

infact it needs it to run!

if your expecting a fully working android then don't bother!

I was going on to test it on my x1, but it crashed before the android gui start and I restarted my x1 and now some program doesn't start, it something with missing certificate or components but it worked before. What is wrong and what can I do to fix it?

Good progress:):):)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bobbanswe:
I have tried it out now and wow it works great most of the time! :)

But it randomly freezes which gives me no options but to reset the phone, which is a shame. But you will probably be able to work things out, because what you have done so far is great man. Looking forward to next release ;)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rdmm:
how can turn off android and back to windows ?:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Pacey4324:
Soft-Reset the device, to get back to WinMo.

I've only been testing the Android build for an hour. Is there any screen rotation for the HW Keyboard? I saw the option in settings, but when I slide the keyboard out, it's a no go? And, I guess there are no camera drivers, just yet?

Also, I believe the upside-down screen has something to do with haret settings, more than anything else, I could be wrong though. (Was just looking at the extra files in the folder, while at work)

Other than that, liking the Android OS, once it's finished booting properly, it's fairly fast. Just hoping for a more complete version to play with in the near future (mainly more features, really.)

But, nonetheless, amazing work here guys!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Kyras:
I've been reading through the thread and can't find anything useful.

But I run haret and I get a wall of text only to stop at mount:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scholbert:
Hey there!

It's nice to see some new people entering the stage and an updated package is floating around.

Personally i was fed up with all these assembler coding in SPL bootloader to improve display and graphics on X1. The secret of some parts in the init sequence still needs to be lifted. I started to compare it with bootcode form known devices.

At linuxtogo the work on the kernel got stuck at some point, but hopefully they will start over again.

So even if a new android system package has been made, the expectations should not be to high.

Would be interesting if fatsal did also some kernel mods!

Anyway, it's nice to see the interest is growing.... i really appreciate it :D

Apart from all this Android hype, the linux kernel still needs a lot improvements.

scholbert

I assume, you are using linux. For sharing your kernel-changes do the following:

1. go to your kernel-source-root-dir

2. enter "git diff > ~/patch.txt". This will create a patch.txt in your home-dir with all the changes you made.

3. post the patch.txt here :D

4. if you added some source-files, post them here, too. New files are not included by "git diff".

Commiting your changes to the repos is only possible, if you have a login. I don't have one, but if you post your source, someone with repos-access can commit it, using your name of course :D

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] drunken_m:
Hi!

Either soft-reset your phone: take off the back, and there is a little hole next to the SD-Card slot. There's a button inside, push it with the stylus. Or:

Press and hold the AU-key (between Sym and space, it's "Alt") and then press "Left" on the cursor pad. This switches to root-console. Then you type "reboot" and hit enter. A few seconds later the system restarts.

(Haven't tried the last one, found it here on the forums.)

Excellent description vdelf!

I'm also not allowed to commit patches into linuxtogo reps, but dcordes definitely is. So posting the patches here, would be most helpful right now :rolleyes:

BTW, did someone already try the new memory mapping on kovsky (it is actually used in raphael, blackstone kernels)?
