Verizon's Droid looks like an amazing phone, can't wait until the day when all that software works on our Xperias :D would love to ditch windows mobile, maybe we should put a bounty on this to give some cash to all the developers working so hard to get android on xperia?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jwte:
I have try fatsals build and it working great with some problem.

1. I have charging the batterywith Win mobile running to 100% and then reboot it to android with the charger still in the phone and android show 85% i the battery and after a day with the charger in the phone and android running. The battery only have 5% left in android. So I restart it and Win mobile said it's 30% left.

2. I can't get APN work in Sweden with Telia. With some configures nothing happens and with some other configures I get a 3G icon with grey arrows but no Internet.

3. It's a little bit slow.

Good work so far:):)

Hehe, same here in norway. however. I can make calls just fine. havent tryed to text. since I havent bothered to move my contacts over since I cant connect to the internett atm.

trying this right now

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5183104&postcount=203

and after viewing a video, orientation of android was rotated to 90 degrees, it was possible to move in menu like this, and after it rotated back to upside down automatically :)

i'm not good in linux coding at all.. but i thinks maybe if someone who doing it well could look what commands rotating screen on video preview, and after put this command to android booting, and so we get normal screen rotation after it boots :)

phone calling is working

xperia keyboard and sms sending and recieving is working

picture and video viewr working fine

file browser not opening nothing and not fullscreen

and if you have pin on sim card, android will not accept it(

hope this was helpful) :o

and i think if someone can kill windows mobile that is running in background, android will be much faster :)

Android review

Review of http://www.pinandita.com/downloads/X1_andoidOS.tar.gz

2 Suggestions.

- Could we have imgdir=/X1_androidOS by default so we can copy the directory to the root and not have to change anything.

- remove wifi.mac= or note this would have to be changed manually in installs.

No review as android borks at filesystem loading. Will redo sdcard filesystem later today to see if this fixes it. Going out now.

Tried with parts of X1_androidOS on /X1_androidOS on sdcard and then tried again with / of sdcard, changed startup.txt between.

Blurry image of screen here http://mich431.net/boot.png. Best resolution I can get on my camera.

e2fsck: bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/block/loop0

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext3 filesystem, If the device is valid and it really contains an ext3 filesystem (and not swap or somthing else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

e2fsck -b 8193 (device)

I had the same issue. Copying the system.ext2 file to all folders of the package resolves this. Can't say I know why because I know absolutely nothing about kernel editing or coding. Did the trick though :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bahkyp:
Problem solved Re #376. I used a different SDHC card.

Dud sd card. No matter what I did the sd would have differences in fat32 fs according to dosfsck on debian. Got out the original 4GB SDHC and it works.

The actual problem is further up the debug when the dos partition fails to mount.

dosfsck ?.?.? ?? ??? ????, FAT32, LFN
There are differences between boot sector and its backup.

Weirdly that card works with other images.

Can reject a call with "OK" button but no button seems to pick up call.

Data not working, cannot get a 3g network connection (3 network au).

None of the buttons seem to bring the power panel up, so no nice way to shutdown.

Pretty much same thing here it just wont boot it's stuck on this stupid text.

ANy ideas ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guap:
invalid filesystem :) did you used a *nix system? format your SD card and try again. note that dosfstools requires EXPLICIT fat size, otherwise it choose a fat according to SD capacity

format using mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/yoursdcard

Hi!

O.K. that's fine!

Still got no device, so testing is a bit difficult at the moment ;)

That's very nice. Got some info about MSM7xxx JTAG chain (could be manually converted to a valid BSDL file, i suppose).

Also see attachment. There's another similar but smaller row on the PCB.

Aaah i see :D

Yepp, patch integrates fine to the source, because it's very clean.

Drivers

Hi guys, I can't seem to find info on how driver development is going for kovsky (have searched htc-linux). Anyone got a link to this info or know how it is going? Is there a port of X running yet?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scholbert:
Hi Oobly!

How about reading the thread and follow the links to the kernel sources :p

It may also be very helpful to gather some informations about similar projects (e.g. linux on htc raphael) and get familiar with haret and the kovsky hardware.

Right now everything is under development, that's why there's not much documentation about it :rolleyes:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] demster:
I had a problem with booting as well, but then I noticed my 8GB SD card was full :P I cleaned it up a bit and left about 200MB free and then it worked. Maybe you guys have the same thing, then this might work ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ukon:
I have to say that android did look surprisingly good, on the x1.

Too bad that it is upside down, and that it does not go. Over to landscape automatically whn you slide out the keyboard.

The camera does not work either, neither does the camera. But that will probably be fixed in a later patch or something I guess.

So what I have to say other than what I have said is..

I am impressed by the work you guys have done so far. Unfortiunatly, am I not a programmer. So I can't help in any way that you would need. Otherthan testing ofc.

So keep the good work up guys!

And to those who have "complained" about the programs that does not fill the whole schreen. It is bcause, not all of the android apps Is designed of higher resolution than 360-480( or something). But more proggs is supporting it as the time goes by.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ubii:
Amazing job guys!

If these things worked, I'd probably be able to use Android daily.

* Screen rotation 180 degrees

* Camera

* Power saving features such as turning off the screen

* Answering the phone

* Landscape mode when sliding out the keyboard

I'm trying to build a working Debian Squeeze for my X1. If it works, I'll update here:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bahkyp:
The problem you will have is that arm and armel are different and Debian is now armel in squeeze. The current kernel work is on arm compilation. Packages compiled for armel will not work on an arm kernel. You either have to work from arm sources (etch backport and lenny) or recompile the kernel for armel.

On that note HTC has released more kernel code on http://developer.htc.com/.

Happy hacking.

i keep having problems when attempting to 'boot' android.

have been trying the latest 3 versions (19, 21, 23 feb) and none seem to work on my phone.

i placed everything in the root of my sd card which is fat32 formatted and 4gb in size (and empty).

i get the same errors every 2 minutes, it keeps doing this forever. still in 'console' i get the following types of messages:

INFO: task rpcrouter:15 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 ) /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs/" disable this message.

wifi firmware

Hi!

Development on a GPL'ed driver code for wifi on the MSM720x devices had started recently.

I think there's still some work to do. SDIO interface of this driver for WL1251 is already working on HTC dream, i suppose.

Anyway some day we'll need some firmware files for the WL1251 inside X1.

See the attachment, i extracted the X1 firmware from a R2A... stock rom (obviously winmob :D).

The other one is from one of the latest HTC Dream linux images.

I also found out that the firmware binaries of Dream and Sapphire are identical.

The binary from X1 slightly differs to the one used on the linux machines.

BTW another Project that may help us to integrate some new features.

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_on_HTC-Dream

In my opinion one should think of upgrading the kernel to 2.6.29 soon.

As long as there's not much X1 related code inside the kernel should be easier to do so (yes i know that most parts rely on blackstone and raphael).

Kind regards and keep up your good work!

Hey penguin lovers,

back on track for testing....

First i'll have to admit that i really appreciate the work that has been put into the wiki!

Well done :)

Unfortunately my sparetime is getting less :o

Though i have some plans to start working with 2.6.29 sources i don't know when i'll find some time to do so.

In fact there are many similar projects with working drivers and most of the secrets of xperia hardware has been lifted.

Someone needs to push everything in the right direction i suppose... and of course there'd been a lot progress so far.

To get it user friendly, it'll be a long road to walk and to get it usable for everyday even more miles to take.

Nowadays one of the main problems with theese kind of projects is that there are only few people who stick with one device and do hardcore development.

The development flow in the smartphone market has increased to a value that time consuming geek projects for certain devices are getting more and more rare.

You might have noticed that the devices are getting more and more complex and the functionality increases a lot.

So this hard to follow with homegrown software based on a project led by some hobbyists.

At least that's my opinion......

Maybe all we need is a bit patience and lucky hands :D

Anyway, to get back on track there are much better hackers than me out there because i'm a hardware addict, but i'm interesting in pushing this and i'll try to help if i can.

Cheers,
