wifi ?

hi all ...

first of all, cheers for this great port ... really opening doors for new avenues in the mobile world ...

I've been through the posts, and found that Wifi is now working ,...

any details on that please, fatsal ?

Thanks/.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JOeS:
I can't get it to work. I've put the Ubuntu folder in the root of the SD-card and the large 1.2 Gb file also in the root of the SD-card. If I start Haret it keeps on scrolling.

A lot of errors scroll by like "Reserved field in VFAT long filename slot is not 0"

What can be wrong? How much space do I need to have free on my SD-card?

I'm on Valkyrie V5.7.23529 ROM.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] darkmarkx:
I had same situation before formatting SD and direct copy by PC.

Please try the following.

1. Format SD card by Panasonic SD formatter tool.

2. Copy image via the Mobile center.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] NeoXerO:
has anybody tried installing flash and/or java on this?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Nullstring:
great question:

has anybody installed some kind of boot camp or VirtualBox? LOL. I wonder if it can run Windows XP. LOL.

just wondering..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] housev550:
good morning..

i have a problem.. i finish the boot and it writes :

"- bash: no job control in this shell

root@htcchovsky; #[170.729827] INFO: task rpcroutr:14 blocked for more than 120 seconds

"

and it doesnt't start anything :(

ps: i have a valkyrie rom
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hadid90:
hi .. just tried it .. GOOD JOB

im wondering .. does it have full hardware acceleration ? audio drivers ??

next

GSM / Wifi ..

and probably .. it would be better to have this interface

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/UserInterface

GREAT JOB FATSAL .. thanks for sharing
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tomazzu:
i'm have never unlock phone before can i install this?

can you write down to step by step

i have download and extract file

all i got is " fatsal-X1-ubuntu-8%2e04%2etar "

do i have to chage to other file type or download more file?

please tell me i really wanna install this ,thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hphhaze:
thnx man :) but the TS calibration goes it automaticly??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cristidotro:
write "startx" and press enter after you see - bash: no job control in this shell

root@htcchovsky; message.

I've done that and after touching the screen ubuntu appeared. But my pointer calibration doesn't seems to be good... Any help?

Cheers!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] the_black_dragon:
download the new kernel file from website linked in first post from fatsal.... the calibration and screen refresh is fixed then.....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cristidotro:
Thanks! Trying now.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] flashpanda:
Won't work, virtualisation requires the processor architectures match...X1s have ARM chips, XP etc is compiled for x86. So virtualisation is out. Processor emulation like Bochs or QEMU is doable I suppose, although it would be dog slow. You'd also need a large amount of storage space, and/or a reduced size image of Windows XP (nLite would do it). It would be hideously slow and broken, but in theory, it's doable.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatsal:
tryin mer on my X1...

running to slow...but it's running without partition SDCARD.

you guys wanted mer running onto X1 ?

if yes, i will share it to you guys...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] the_black_dragon:
at first we would like to have Wi-Fi running ;-)

but no i dont want to push you.... take time for it and bring it running well :D

very good work for now dude....

one question: will anny ubuntu compatible application package run on this version? or do we need special ARM compiled version for every program? would like to run programs like Opera for linux or a nice Multi messenger on it....

can you also say if touchpad will work laptop like later? or at least d-pad control for pointer?

this is a very nice project for testing and experimenting because i dont have to reflash my X1 for every new version and it can be used beside normal phone usage :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] AndrosTheLion:
Mer OS would be wonderful!!! But i think that the best idea is to finish ubuntu or MER and then finish other.

Can't imagine fully functional ubuntu or MER, this is my dream =)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatsal:
hello the_black_dragon,

yes, wifi was working rightnow in my hand. but its too difficult for wlan0 running well in ubuntu. to many step todo for making wlan0 working.

right now, i'm try to simplfy to get wifi working.

i just need more time to making easy.

yes, every program must recompile into arm version.

and yes, mer = ubuntu jaunty.

and yes, mer = running horizontal like my ubuntu version.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] n-zocker:
is mer that os, that runs on that new nokia N900? but isnt it called Maemo ? ... little bit confusing... but it would be great to have it on the xperia too ^^

great job fatsal *two thumbs up* ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PC Master:
i've downloaded the file over 5 times, everytime it shows me corrupted file,, why is that?!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatsal:
try the mirror URL.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hadid90:
Please share the Mer Os with us !! And for ubuntu .. we need a better interface .. an interface that we can use with our fingers ! :D that would be great .. Continue ur great JOB !! 10x
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ronin368:
great job

very nice job Fatsal

although i still have no idea about ubuntu!

all the best

update:wow ubuuntu is awsome!

i like it more than android...

waiting for wifi.....:)

thanks again
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] learyt:
fatsal could you port MAEMO 5 from NOKIA N900 to xperia????
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] soham chowdhury:
try this site....may help!!;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] matejdro:
Wow that thing works super fast for desktop os on mobile phone.

I found one big problem:

-Screen is to sensible, its hard to tap anything without triggering drag.

And also problem is that there is no support for almost nothing. Here is my wishlist(Features at top = i like implemented first):

-Wifi

-Phone features (is that even avaible on ubuntu?)

-Battery indicator

-Sound
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatsal:
hi mate,

try update kernel from the new one. it's fix screen calibration.

wifi was working right now in my hand. but it's still difficult too running it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] matejdro:
I already updated to new kernel (before was mouse jumping randomly), but now its hard to click something because when you tap cursor is still "shaking" around point where you put stylus, which causes cursor to drag not click.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PredatorX11:
@ fatsal

Well done mate!!!

i love ubuntu on my pc!and this is a great work!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] darkmarkx:
I also it

I'm having same situation.

But I want wifi at first.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PredatorX11:
it' s possible reduce the ext2 file? i haven't enough space on sd....:(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] staythesame3010:
where is haret.exe? Thank a lot!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PredatorX11:
in the ubuntu folder.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] y2kreamy:
help..

how do i update kernel? sry for noob question
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] matejdro:
1. Go to http://www.xperoid.com/downloads

2. Find newest Ubuntu kernel

3. Extract img file to Ubuntu folder on SD card.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] plonkersaurus:
I don't suppose we could get a non trivial guide on how to get wifi working until you work out a simpler way?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatsal:
wow....

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/ubuntu-hardy-heron-8-04-gets-ported-onto-sony-ericssons-xperia/
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] the_black_dragon:
hihi but my news info to Areamobile was faste :D

http://www.areamobile.de/news/14269-portiert-ubuntu-auf-dem-sony-ericsson-x1

btw the pictures are made by me ;-)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] coolius:
Hi fatsal, it was me who tipped engadget on your work, hope you don't mind!

Can't wait for the next release!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] l3it3r:
What are the chances of this running on a TP2? Great work BTW!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jalyst:
Huh? But Mer's based on Maemo not Ubuntu.

Mer would be better suited for a port as hand-helds have always been it's focus.

Plus there's some great/friendly devs there too!

Good luck whichever way you decide to go.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fhteagle:
Not an xperia owner, but strongly considering replacing my ailing Tosh G810 with one now! Great job fatsal

Instead of multiple projects to port ubuntu, mer, or maemo, consider the alternate UI possibilities for just straight ubuntu:

1. Ubuntu Netbook Remix (should also be a decent source of ARM binary packages)

2. Enlightenment DR17 shell, especially with its specialized "Illume" profile. Even though e17 still claims to be alpha level software, it has been my daily use desktop, no hiccups (unless I purposefully test bleeding edge stuff). no arm binaries that I know of, but its relatively easy to compile (especially with easy_e17.sh script). Also, it is much lighter on resources, which is a big plus with the amount of free memory you all have I think...

If WiFi and/or GSM, audio get working I might move over to this equipment and contrib this project.... will be watching closely
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] MassaButu:
Outstanding work, keep it up ;)

btw, there is a Ubuntu Desktop for smaller Screens, called "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" which fits into X1's screen:

two.xthost.info/ladiesman925/asuseee/ubuntu-netbook-remix.png

Maybe you could use this desktop?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] domineus:
I am actually going to try it on my touch pro LOL here's hoping something fun happens
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sahhar1993:
sahhar

Great work! is it run on htc touch diamond
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] alexnessie:
I ran this on my X1, now the screen flickers constantly back in winmo.

It did not do this before.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sahhar1993:
sahhar

can i try this on my htc touch diamond
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Greenwidth:
That would be great :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] drwho?:
I think we all agree that the X1 is getting old, but you guys have the great opportunity to make it live for a long time.

I was wondering if you guys could convert this phone into a tethering Wifi router like the verizon MiFi™ 2200 ...

we are all going to move away from the X1, due to poor software quality for SE, but I would love to be able to get a router WIFI out of it ...

Either you get a X10, or an iphone, it would be useful for get this on the X1 ... ubuntu or android with tethering , with a simple interface ...

Well packed, it can be a killer.

just my 2 cents

Francois
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] MassaButu:
I am currently downloading the files and will test them on my HTC Rhodium.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sahhar1993:

ubuntu 8.04 is working on x1 so its work htc phons
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sahhar1993:
coppolla

I am currently downloading the files and will test them on my htc touch diamond
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kheavy:
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be trying this immediately.

Anyone have a breakdown of what services are working and what arent?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] MassaButu:
Unfortunately it did not work on my Rhodium.

After starting the haret.exe there the device was vibrating and then nothing happened.

Maybe it's the custom ROM that I use, maybe it's something else.

But I look forward and hope to see future versions.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Z1nK:
tested it out.works great.i really appreciate your work man.

if you need any help feel free to pm me because i have a little bit xperience in linux programing and a bit more in windows.thats because im going to IT high school here in croatia.

so im here to help.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] drunken_m:
Just booted Ubuntu on my X1i - and it's awesome :) Firefox takes a little bit to load, and there seem to be some permission problems, but what the heck. IT'S UBUNTU ON THE XPERIA!!! :)

Can't get to wait for the version with Wifi (or maybe just a tutorial, how we can get it ourselves working?).

That UNR thing got me going... looking into it, how I may be able to compile it to ARM (if that's even possible).

EDIT: if I have the time I'll take some photos, maybe even a video running Ubuntu on the X1... The photos on the front page are way to blurry :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sahha:
plz

plz anybody upload ubuntu 8.4 for x1 on mediafire
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] MassaButu:
could someone post some screenshots or videos pls?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] siulmagic:
anyone tried this on htc raph, i know its meant for xperia but perhaps mixing it with xandroid zimage it might work?, im also trying it with x1 zimage the kernel starts but the screen fades out so i cant see whats going on in the cmd screen
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] farokh:
Some more pictures

Hi guys, I got some more pix of the Ubuntu at Xperia X1.

Hope the calibration problem will be fixed soon, so that we could enjoy the linux, with this first distro I had to try at least 5 times untill I hit the icon I wanted :)

But thumbs up, I'm looking forward to it, linux is the only way for geeks since WP7 presented :X
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
I'm working on it. Phhusson gave me his Ubuntu for Diamond Build that I modified for my Raph but the calibration is off and wifi doesn't work. It does boot though. I'm gonna try to put these two builds together to get a working build.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Uncle-Bob:
Rom flashed or not

Does your program flash the rom or can I reboot in WinMO mode after installing ubuntu ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
No flash. It's all on sd. Soft reset and you'll be back in winmo.

Status update on Raph. Used a different zImage and startup that phh gave me with his build and it boots. It's no better than his build currently though for me as calibration is still off and the screen's upside down now.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] the_black_dragon:
be careful....

do not do a soft reset or remove battery if Ubuntu is running.... once i destroyed some files in Ubuntu system with that and hat to download new (the first time i had it only on my PC @ work) and copy again 1,2GB on my SD card ;-)

only go to the menu of ubuntu, click on Logout and then reboot......
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Uncle-Bob:
Thanks a lot !
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nabor:
Sounds good,but donnot have a X1 :-( can it be installed on other PPCs such as Diamond,HD?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PredatorX11:
i have try with new kernel....is more easy use the mouse....

but drain very fast the battery...:(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lubenoit:
Great! I'll be a tester, but my device is rapl.

Bennoit
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sahhar1993:
can you gave me the ubuntu for diamond to teste on my diamond
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sahhar1993:
why dosnt run on my diamond
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatsal:
i don't know, may be different kernel...or NAND driver was not successfully installed yet.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
My bad. ;) I just assumed it was like Android. However, what is there to lose in Ubuntu at this point? It's not like we can install anything. I guess it is just a pain to reinstall

And to all who are interested in the diamond build: I'm going to make sure Phh is okay with it then I'll link to his build. :)

Edit: and here it is. http://dl.free.fr/pZz3EKnxs Sorry it's in French, Phhusson is French, so yeah. Just mouse over the page til you see a ubuntuarm.7z link. Should be under "Telecharger ce fichier". Make sure you change your mtype as is appropriate. Tell us if anyone figures out the calibration on it. That and wifi are the two main things missing.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
I'm pretty sure it's a kernel thing. It wouldn't run off my Fuze either. Screen just craps out. A different kernel fixes it. Out of curiosity, how did you fix the calibration? On the Fuze, the touchsreen acts like a laptop touchpad which gets annoying. If we can get this going, I'll make a thread in the Raphael forums crediting you and Phhusson. Maybe we'll get another Engadget link. ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Marcell-o:
On Jade?

Is it also possible on the HTC Touch 3G(Jade)?

the other builds give a error before the boot.
[HD2 General] CloneboyZA:
Hi all,

I'm having a problem with the weather update service on my phone - it hasn't updated since yesterday evening. WHat I have on my screen is "My location", which is the first time I've seen it - normally it picks up where I am with no problem. My other locations that I've set also aren't updating. When I click on update now, the phone thinks for a bit, then the message comes up "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?" I've looked in the forums, and it seems there has been a bit of an issue with this. I was wondering if anyone had found a fix, or is it a problem with the connection with Cell towers. I'm wondering if it has to do with the new radio version I have (2.06.51.07) that I got in my 1.66 ROM update. Any ideas?

Thanks,

David
[HD2 General] antaed:
i've struggled with this issue a lot but now everything is going fine, except for my location. i think i've found a good rom-radio combination for my area. my advice for you is to check what others in your area (and network) are running and do the same. or you could, of course, do some experiments yourself which can be useful and fun if you play safe.
[HD2 General] CloneboyZA:
Well, if there are any other South Africans out there who are having the same problem, would love to hear from them. Bit wary about flashing my ROM and radio - just did the 1.66 upgrade and took me a while to get my phone back how I wanted it.
[HD2 General] antaed:
i also hesitated at first but for my situation any action was better than no action. i backup my data using ms my phone and i keep the pictures, videos and the app kits on my sd card. so, it's not a such a big deal to restore the phone to my likings. it takes some time but it's an effort i don't mind doing considering the results.
[HD2 General] CloneboyZA:
Well, it seems to be working now. Not sure what changed...
[Omnia II ROM Development] anshkhanna:
Am a big fan of the B7610...having used most of HTC slide out keyboard phones (Tytn, Tytn II, Touch pro, Touch Pro 2) and also the Xperia X1, I genuinely feel that the B7610 is far above all of these in terms of the hardware specs, build quality, stability, speed, screen resolution and camera.

But the only 2 things I have missed in it are:

1. XDA forum support; and

2. HTC Sense customized ROM.

Now that one has been fulfilled, I wish the second also be fulfilled by someone....anyone...please....

I am willing to offer a bounty/reward also for whoever can cook one of those.

:)

Can I get the reward?:D

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cyanide77:
As the title reads out, I was wanting to know if the USCC TP2 will ever work on 3G because Edge is getting a little slow... I have seen the "G" up on my bar before but quickly goes away, so that leads me to believe that it could be possible.

Also, I heard that hardware is compatible with the 3G network. So please, could someone that knows more into this tell me if anything will work or even MIGHT work?

Thank you so much!

-Cyanide
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] rrmzr1:
i would also like to know because i just unlocked the us cellular touch pro 2 for use on att. but when i try the internet it just says dialed 777 failed
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cyanide77:
Hey, in order for that dialed 7777 error to go away, you need to add ATT internet settings instead of the original carrier settings.

So do this...

Go to your Data Connection options

Add New Connection

Then Put this in for the info:

wap.cingular for the APN

WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM - username

CINGULAR1 - password

That should work, of course there is an ATT data cab somewhere, but thats how you set it up manually, I hope this helped!

Cyanide
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] rrmzr1:
thanks man i really appreciate. kinda new to this but not really. last windows mobikle phone i had was a touch pro. and i bought an iphone after. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. now ive forgotten everything
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] killlove84:
for some reason it wont go E to G and i cant use certain att features like being on the phone and internet please help
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
G = GPRS

E = EDGE

G = Slower than EDGE and nothing to do with 3G.

You're not going to get that phone to work on ATT 3G/UMTS. The band support simply isn't there.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
Based on phonearena's tech specs though the TP2 cant even reach full 3g on verizon's network. Here is the link to some verizon phones:

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Touch-Pro2-CDMA-phone-p_3710.html

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Palm-Pre-Plus-phone-p_4347.html

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Motorola-DROID-phone-p_3853.html

Same shows true for both sprint and AT&T versions as well.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cyanide77:
So what is required of the phone to reach 3G at all?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
The phone has 3g capability, it is not accessing the full power of the network due to hardware though. If AT&T nerfs their non-iPhones to EDGE then that is what you will max at. If you look at the palm pixi or pre it has faster data speeds because of the hardware. In other words i'm not really sure if faster speeds are capable (due to hardware restrictions) and on AT&T i'm even more unsure because of how their apple contract is structured.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cyanide77:
Ah that sounds really crazy! Lol, I wish things were simple. And now, I am noticing my Multimedia Messages aren't going though, I am not sure what that is from though. Anyone have a clue on that?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
What are you talking about? The CDMA TP2 can very well reach 3G speed (EVDO Rev A) on Sprint and Verizon. It'll also reach 3G speed on European WCDMA/UMTS networks. The ATT TP will reach 3G speed on ATT and European WCDMA/UMTS networks.

The statement above doesn't make any sense.

All that's required is that you use a version of the phone on a network with a compatible band. The ATT, TMO, Sprint, VZW, etc. TP2s will all reach 3G ontheir respective networks with no problem. When used on other networks the phones may or may not have support for the 3G band used by the network. If it doesn't have the band support then it's not going to work.

Please stop making stuff up. This is absolutely not true. The TP2 is not "nerfed." You just need to use the correct model (ie ATT version) on ATT if you want 3G on ATT.

It is simple. Stupid simple.

If you want 3G you buy the version of the phone that supports the 3G band that your carrier is using.

As far as MMS, you need to make sure that your account is data enabled and that your phone has the data settings for your carrier loaded.
