Agreed with the first two, but wifi is working for me... with limitations. It cannot activate itself (when first visiting the settings it says "cannot activate"),but when i try to activate wifi two times it always works. Maybe timeout for the communication?

after i hit haret it started to install....among others it wrote:

the superblack could not be read od does not describe a corrupt ext2 filesystem. If the device i vlaid and it really contains a filesystem (..), then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock....

and then after each 120seconds it wrote something same but do nothing....what should i do?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] b-m-b-85:
Kernalator

Yep i had the same thing stick. The superblock could not be read, possible corrupt EXT2 fs, then it puts a 120 second hold on the kernal. then loops the kernal error message forever, i read eariler on in the thread that the problem could have possibly been a corrupt transfer to the sd card, so ive wiped it and re-tranferred, still no luck. Then the new kernal build 2+.. but with this kernal it doesnt even get to the dos boot screen, i would boot up my ubuntu on my desktop have a go at compling a kernal myself but my ubuntu has died :( bad times. Im on a kingston SDHC 16GB im gona try my spare 4gb sandisk when i find it, because i reckon its the kingston card. It wont read ROM images either with Olinex.

I'm using win 6.5

and it only show me the black screen with text and it take forever to work
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
i know what you mean :o

i tried to always set FLIP_UD and LR, but it seems, that on every screen-refresh it changed orientation. i also noticed, that not the entire screen was rotated, but only parts. For example the titlebar with the clock/signal/... was still on bottom of the screen, only rotated.

Anyways, the speed is perfectly ok, the animations are as smooth as without. I tried some brute-force-framebuffer-swapping but with that the system was waaay to slow :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] roytoch:
Wow, thanks for your totally helpful reply. This Android for Xperia is NOT MEANT for daily use yet. It might be, in a few weeks, or months, or it might even never be suited for reliable day-to-day use.

However, if you are the experimenting type, you can run it already and I think there is more that DOES work then DOESNT work. The topicstarter has come a long way and the results are remarkable.

I have been gone from xda for a while due to not having a winmo-phone in use anymore, but now I follow this thread again, flashing it on my spare X1. It still amazes me how many people don't read before posting.

I think by now the developers KNOW the screen is upside down, some things aren't working properly, I mean, they actually wrote that in the topic start already! So don't repeat it over and over again...

To the developers: a great job this far. A remarkable lot already works, and you're working on getting even more out of it. Fantastic!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] almi88:
I'm noob at this stuff... but I know that android has support for G-sensor... isn`t it possible to make the g-sensor driver think that the phone is upside-down and flip the immage? :D sorry if i made a stupid question... :P and sorry for my english
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leobg:
rotation on 90 degrees work (portrait and landscape) - when you open the keyboard screen will change orientation. The problem is LCD of X1 is physically mounted upside down in the device. I don't think software supports 180 degree rotation. I think this has to be implemented on very low level (video driver). It will be solved sooner or later, i am sure.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] shithead:
Why would HTC mount the screen upside down on X1?:confused::confused:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] hAmpzter:
It's not HTC that has mounted it upside down.. I would thinkt it is because the code is taken from Google G1 and that it may have the screen mounted in other way. The way a screen is mounted is probably different 50/50 on all the phones in the world but the only thing that is different is that the screen-buffer is written in different way!

Maybe made some sence? ;)

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
The X1 screen is actually upside-down. It is to make the phone thinner.

And I think he knows that too. What he's trying to say is that there maybe away too fool the software into thinking that it has a g-sensor and that the phone is held upside down, so it rotates to so the display is shown correctly :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] shambler:
The X1 screen is definitely upside down. Because the first time i wrote a directx application my 3d meshes were drawn upside down so i had to rotate my view vector. (In WM of course ;) )

first of all great work all of you guys.

cant wait for a day when it will be out like useable rom.

i have one stupid question and please dont start flaming i really searched for an answer but couldnt find one.

my problem is that i really want to try android but when I pass the boot scr and stuff and i need to enter my pin.i always get that the pin is wrong.so i read that i need to turn off pin requirement in winmo.and thats the problem.when i uncheck that pin box in options it asks me for a pin.i entered mine but i get message saying wrong old password please try again.so i tried 1111 0000 1234.but nothing.any way to diseable it by registry editing or any other option? my xperia is x1i bought in germany in t-mobile but i live in croatia(its cheaper there :D).pls help

cheers
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] bahkyp:
I really should read these boards more frequently.

That sounds like a retry timeout. It's trying something, failing, waiting and retrying in 5 minutes. Could be anything. Importantly its a critical system thing; so probably disk, filesystem, memory or screen. Take your pick.

I had a SD card, FAT32 filesystem corruption that did that, reformatted the card and everything just worked.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dcordes:
I suspected this early and said it on xda. Hope I didn't spread misinformation ^^

Ok, report for 2.01-20100123.

WiFi now broken, worked previously

Power Off Key broken, worked previously.

Data-only sim not working, worked previously. (3mobile Data plan .au) Can get calls in like WM.

Phone only sim working. (VodaFone au) Didn't try data as $10/Mb, $10000/Gb!

Both sim freeze on a missed call?

Won't boot charging (USB plugged in), hangs at android splash scrren at ~20secs (image stops cycling). 20100112 will.

Always boots into landscape. Kernel console up correct way, GUI wrong as expected.

Battery looses ~10% each boot ~5mins!

Keymap broken but fixable (we just need better locales). Seen working keyboard in Angstrom (with all blue keys, UK not German mapping).

I have a KOVSKY-UK-R2 flashed ROM Xi phone. (probably irrelevant but you never know)

PS:20100126 kernel freezes after haret boot screen. Never makes it to console. Doesn't vibrate twice.

PPS: Gen-Y wont boot android 20100123 straight up so removing Gen-Y.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] stickvonbahnhof:
hi, i posted some text:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] bahkyp:
The data partition is not being created, and the startup is trying to create/check one every 120 seconds. Higher up in the text there is probably the failure to mount the Fat32 filesystem, that is the SD card.

On my disk I had a failure to mount the FAT32 partition, I fixed this by;

- I started WM and made sure that the phone's USB connection was in disk mode (Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC > Disk Dive mode).

- Connected USB, then I copied the sd card contents off the disk. (only if you want to keep this data)

- Repartitioned and Reformatted the card (with gnu-parted on Debian, first partition is primary FAT32, feel free to use another partioning tool).

- Copied the contents back onto sd card.

- Reinstalled android files and everything worked.

Remember the first primary partition must be Fat32, and this is where your Android files go. Some smaller SD cards may be FAT16.

*** There is another thread that states you need +250MB free on the card before you start android the first time, this is space for the data partition.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matz0r:
Is there any way to fix the PIN-Issue in future versions (disable PIN in WinMo) :confused:

The reason why I'm asking: For me it's not possible to disable the PIN because I have two contracts on one SIM-card - and the only way to choose the contract is by entering the correct PIN - so currently Android is useless for me :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leobg:
This issue will be resolved at one moment, I am sure. At this stage current X1 Android build is not mature enough to be a daily OS for your X1 anyways. You can give it a run with no SIM if you like.

Hi,

I tried as mentioned in the #1 post of this thread.

After I hit "Haret" it shows Linux Booting and then nothing happens.

Its hung/stuck. I have remove the battery and put it back again to restart the phone...

Please advice.

Are you running the zImage (kernel) from the original 7-zip or the one from 20100126 ?

</Jonas>
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] PretoriaZ:
Thank you for response..

I used 20100126 but that just hung.. So Now i used the original one from the 7-zip.. Now it only shows the screen saver with 'X' in it.. that it.. Nothing is happening from last 30 mins..

I think my phone is too slow...

What's your suggestion? looking forward for your response..

Remove android and install again. Happened to me when i first installed android but it wasn't working out right due to activesync issues. If you have a spare sd card try formatting using fat32 and install android on that. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] hAmpzter:
The 4-colored X is not a screen-saver.. It's the Android loading-screen!

If you are using an SonyEricsson X1 (as I presume) you should have enough power to run it.. Even though it is a bit laggy on the original SE-rom..

First time that booting screen can take alot of time, even though I don't think 30 minutes.. I can't say how long mine took, I just started it and then came back a long time later! ;)

I have flashed mine with an EnergyROM (thread) and it goes alot faster now.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] b-m-b-85:
..

ahh my apologies :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scholbert:
Yeah sure, on the kovsky the MDDI interface is used as the physical interface from the MSM7200 to the Epson display controller. The Epson chip translates to RGB logik levels of the TFT unit afterwards.

Please search the forum for details about that, there's also a detailed datasheet of the Epson chip floating around.

BTW, do you need the MDDI spec???

Here it is...

help .. i was so excited to try android .. every time i click on haret .. the window of haret: booting linux pops up .. the progress bar gets full .. then my phone just freezed .. i waited for about 15 min nothin hapened .. no million texts no nothing .. i installed the dualboot cab from gen.Y before installing android .. was it a bad step ?? :D

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vcoolvin:
+1 on this issue :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Naz2kool:
hadid90, skillsless, & vcoolvin,

You need to give us a bit more info as to what and how you are running it...

For example, you need to tell us if you are trying to run Android version 1.6 or 2.0.1, and if it's 2.0.1, what kernel version are you running... build20100123 or build20100126?

From my experience build20100126 freezes for me at that same point you are seeing hadid90, but build20100123 runs the best for me so far.

I would also suggest getting Android running first before considering to install the Gen.Y DualBOOT application (Just to be on the safe side!).

Look forward to more updates on this. Keep up the good work fatsal and all other developers helping on this project.

Cheers,

Naz.

I really like Android. I'm waiting for HTC Bravo and Google Nexus One. Maybe i buy one of them.

And by the way, great work. It's is running smoother than i thought. Just this permanent crashing of some stuff is annoying.

Will there be an Android ROM in the future or doesn't this work on X1?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] patt2k:
hey when I boot it with haret after some text. I get this little tiny upside down keyboard and then nothing happens.

Any ideas?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] locomarco:
Take the Android 1.6 Files, this is working.

And btw its not the little keyboard which is upside dows, it's the whole screen :D

EDIT: lol i just downloaded SNesoid and played Mario Kart with full speed. Not really possible on Win Mo :D

Is it possible to rotate the screen to landscape mode?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Pacey4324:
Is it possible to turn off the screen? My phone just burns up in my pocket after a while.

Also, with the screen rotation, i think there is some other options you can change outside of the "startup" file that might do the trick.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] KHPatel:
If you read the other Android development threads, you'll take notice that these builds are only experimental. Though XDA members have come a long way in the development of this kernel, there is much to do to have a fully functional Android kernel for the X1. Take note that not all functions are operational and will take time to be fixed. A ROM is not yet even being considered until all hardware drivers and software bugs are resolved.

okay .. it worked .. but i can't believe how a linux os can be that buggy , sluggish and slow ! where are those creative developpers to create better drivers for our X1 ? why can't we start android from the internal storage ?? without the upside down screen ? and other bugs ?

I request all the programmers of linux to find out solutions for the most favorite OS of all .. built with the most powerful kernel .. 10x in advance :d :d

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Haioken:
Whilst we're at it, all hairstylists within a given vacinity should create a uniformly attractive hairstyle to suit all tastes.

On a more serious note..

This project is still very early in it's development cycle. Expecting everything to be crashfree and perfect simply because it's linux is naive.

People are creating better drivers for the X1, day in - day out. If you were a programmer, you might have some idea of how long this takes.

The internal storage problem originates from three places. First, the SPL boot loader is not centered around booting linux. Second, the internal memory format of HTC devices is disasterous for developers. Third, USB communication via linux on X1 is not up to a point where if things royally **** up work we can flash back. If you wish to turn your phone into a paperweight, power be to you.

The upside down screen is a moot point at the moment, and I would consider it to be significantly less important than making the kernel run. The screen rotation issue has been fixed at a kernel level, it's the android OS itself annoyingly talking directly to the hardware that is causing problems.

This brings up another question:

As most modern smartphones (iPhone, Palm Pre, Android Handsets...) are running nearly the same core hardware platform it should be possible to get rid of the bad hardware of a Palm PRE and runs Web OS on the X1 for example.

Would this be possible???

O.K., also some serious words:

In fact it is not fair to blame Linux to be a crappy OS.

Everything that has been done to get Linux/Android running on X1 is mostly based on reverse engineering.

Some guys have put a lot of work into this and spent much time to get things working out like it is now.

You should respect this and be aware about the difficulties of porting a new OS to a completely closed hardware platfrom.

Anyway of course this is an open discussion and i hope that maybe someday people come and say:
