everyone has this issue. But it is not top priority, there are more important things like sound.

To speed things up, we need

- knowledge about hardware and how things like power management work on the x1

- people, who implement that knowledge to the kernel or android source

(Sadly, both is limited at the moment :( )

- people, who test the implementation and narrow down problems. That means not only "this doesnt work".

Dont get me wrong, it is important to keep track of what is working and what is not. For that, you may start a new thread where we can make a list. But to solve problems, we need more input on how and when.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] MorbusMors:
When I'm running Android I can't connect my phone to the computer anymore, it starts charging the batterie but I can't copy files on my phone.

And the power status always says that it's low but the akku is full. After a few seconds Android also says it's full but it jumps all the time...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Running android from sd-card is safe, as nothing is changed on the phones internal memory. You can always reset and go back to windows.

Flashing it is another story. There are serveral points:

- IMHO the current state is very nice, speedy and somewhat stable, but misses several important things for daily use (sound, powermanagement).

- i do not know about how to get from running with haret to a flashable android image. It may be a good idea to start getting knowledge about that.

- if you have a modified bootloader, and you do not overwrite it while flashing a new image, then you can always flash another image.

So if you know what you are doing and have nerves made of steel - yes, it is safe to flash it. I am lacking the steel nerves, so no, i dont have :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] avindal:
It's perfectly safe. Soft resetting your phone will get it back to the original OS.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Thanks, my X1 android was never so fast.:D

Cant wait for sound support, so i may start using everyday.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Chaosstorm:
Coudnt agree more, im booting right now i had every other android version already and its good to see if things have improved :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] CowMix:
fixing the keyboard keys should be pretty simple, its just a matter of going through and mapping the correct keys

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
New kernel is now online. Get it here.

Shutdown should work now. Well, it reboots insted of shutting down, but this is better than soft-resetting :)

I tried a few things to get speaker and headphones working. No luck so far, but i managed to activate the amplifier for headphones. Now the headphones are powered while playing sound. Sadly there is nothing to amplify yet. :o But we are getting closer!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Freak174:
It is kinda hard to tell when it freezes, could be any time. But most times it freezes at the start, sometimes in internet explorer, could freeze anywhere. Due to this I have to turn of and on the phone, I have tried to wait for like 10 minutes to see if it will respond, but without any effect.

I did altso upgrade til the new update, still same problem.

Btw, could it be due to the battery being not full?

Yours,
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:
This new kernel froze on me after a minute from it showing the android home screen.

Conditions: - Had USB connected (was in active sync mode) from the beginning

- Screen started upside down, then flipped horizontal automatically, i opened and closed the keyboard and it went the correct way.

- The battery was charging (had the charging indicator at the top)

- 3G was connected (3G icon at the top, NO sync icon)

And the log (dmesg) is spammed with

[ 34.279602] msmfb_start_dma 30.000 ms after vsync request

Also, it stuffed my screen... Now it flickers around the edges, even in WinMo...

Not sure whats going on there. I have seen this flickering before, on my Touch Diamond.

Turning it off for a few minutes seemed to reduce the flickering, but its still faintly flickering.

I might turn it off for an hour or so to see if that fixes the issue.

UPDATE: the flickering seems to have gone away now :) phew.

UPDATE2: i tried it again, and it crashed again, same timeframe, no conditions changed.

EDIT:

Ok, I fugured it out. I just needed to delete my old data.img :) sorry about that.

The msmfb vsync thing is still happening.

EDIT2:

uh-o spoke to soon, it froze again.. then tried again and it froze again just after startup.

Test Kernel 20100323 McB

Here is my latest kernel build & modules if you feel like trying it out.

Not much changed:

1) kovsky kernel shutdown fix applied.

2) Default cpuscaler is now "powersave"

3) Some tidying up of the kernel .config

4) Built with latest cross-compiler

Now onto that panel ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] CowMix:
good to know we have multiple people working to get us android on the x1, looking forward to you and vdelf bringing us a fully functional android :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
I hope there's a few more hiding in the woodwork. I fear building on fatsal's great work will be mostly down to vdelf - I haven't done any hardware programming since 1983 :eek:

But if everyone throws in a bit, it'll surely get there :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jamesalfred:
Gonna try this now :D I hope the CPU scaling set to powersave can reduce the battery usage....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mardox:
everything works as explained except 1 thing for me, and i havent seen anyone else with the same problem. i can make and accept calls and recieve sms. BUT i cannot send sms for some reason:S please help me:)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
This sounds not good. Please check if you have GPS disabled in android settings. It is enabled by default, and i got (with older kernel) lockups soon after android was booted.

If that does not help, i am a bit baffled. The kernel was build with the latest cross-compiler. There are only minor changes, and it works very well on my device. The only issue i have is when disabling wlan, mostly the phone reboots.

Does it work correctly for anyone?

the "msmfb_start_dma 30.000 ms after vsync request" message can be ignored. In older kernel this was suppressed with a special coding. It is not a new problem. :o

oh and of course:

incorrect PIN?

Hi Guys!

I tried this great adroid on my X1. I have a trouble with Enter PIN screen. If I insert the SIM card, the screen go to sleep so fast, but not is the most important problem. If I type in the good PIN code, I got an error eith: incorrect PIN. My PIN code works fine on WM, but always generate an error in Android :(

If I remove the SIM card everything works fine. But no calls, no SMS, etc...

Any help?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] killerskincanoe:
searching for questions can often find answers. PIN does not work on ANDROID at this time. disable it before going into android..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jamesalfred:
Last night I suffer from screen flickering too. I think it's because I click the brightness button on the power control widget. Since I don't want any hassle, I just wiped out my Xperia :D . No other problem..... Except:

1. Keyboard mapping is still not perfect

2. The back cover become extremely hot from using wifi too much...

3. The battery indicator is a complete mess. It constantly warns me about the battery level. 15%, then 9%, then 14%, then 4%, and so on..... Goes up an down...

Other than that, works fine for now :)

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gizmo1908:
Hello

First i want to thank the people who made this reality:) This is cool

I have a Milestone with Android 2.01, and it looks exactly the same. Very cool.

The only thing is the battery consumption. Its way to high. What i noticed is if you put the x1 on standby, the screen goes black but there is still light in the screen. I think thats the main reason of the battery loss. If that could be solved, i would never want to use another OS on my X1 than the Android OS.

I dont even care about the GPS, i dont use it cause i have a tomtom in the car.

If people need help testing, i have 2 X1 so i would love to help out testing stuff.

Thanx again for the Developers in this world:D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nasa76:

I've got a question.

When is the problem of 'the lights keeping on while screen turned off' solved?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] radzix27:
I think that this is one of most important think to made Android usable on X1, because this 'lights' drains battery very fast :/
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wess786:
That's why I'm asking it :P, I don't like it, especially because of the battery.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:
Yeah thanks :) Disabling GPS fixed the problem :)

How come in WinMo it says i have 256MB RAM, but under android it says there is only 182MB? (Using Android System Info app)

And yeah turning off WiFi restarts the phone :) which is a good thing for me, because for some reason all the hard buttons on the phone stopped working, so I couldn't hold the end call key to turn it off.. Im not sure what stopped it from working...

EDIT: After restarting android, I managed to turn off wifi by using the "Power Manager" home screen widget. Im not sure if its using the widget that let me do it, or if mayb it would have just worked in the settings menu too.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Consider it done! :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Thats better :) I put some red to this option on first page.

The rest is reserved for linux and android for internal stuff like screen buffering.

Can we use 'Live wallpaper' on fatsal android? I didn't noticed that option when I tap on screen :/
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jamesalfred:
No, we can't. Live Wallpaper is for Android 2.1. This build is still 2.0.1 :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
I'm sure that when we got everyday usable 2.0.1, port to 2.1 would not be so hard.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Musse_1:
yes you can:)

just download livewallpapers from Market, tap on screen as you said and then wallpapers/live wallpapers. I've tried almost all from Market so far all works except "...Nexus One..."
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] katem:

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Musse_1:
Ok, you're right. there was something else I did to enable them (though it was a while ago) sorry for the confusion, not on purpose. I happened to read on Touch Pro, Fuze android.eclair.2.0.1 development where I download my current "AndroidApps" media, games, utils etc...

to enable livewallpapers, you need to download "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" and place it in AndroidApps. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/858025/2.1/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

I hope it helps:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] killerskincanoe:
ecellent. added and re-booting now. thank you will test and reply with results

update: yep that def fixed the issue. thanks very much!

curious if the rom i'm using actually supports 3d acceleration. iknow some do and some don't, i need to find one that does for sure. and see if it speeds up these wallpapers a bit. they aren't bad. but they are still sorta slow.. they look cool as hell tho..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
When someone discovers how to control the backlight in first place. Then someone has to implement that in the linux kernel. :o

Is it a must that the SD card is empty? or would it work as long as the files that are mentioned are in the SD cards root directory please?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tchatzi:
Should be fine to use it as it is, as long as the files android needs are in the root of the SD Card and you have sufficient space.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] killerskincanoe:
i guess that depends on what is force closing is it the wallpaper picker or the wallpaper itself or something else? what does the full error msg say?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wess786:
I just found out that if you do THIS and you let your X1 stay where it is and especially don't touch it, that your screen is getting more dark and the lights at the buttons are gone.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mouchla:
no. just copy the files on the root directory of your sd card and have about 500 mb free.

@slickerxcuh

Yes, every time we restart our phone, we MUST go through the windows mobile first, then run haret.exe again. Android for Xperia is still running under WinMo....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Musse_1:
just a small comment, Haret kicks windows out of memory and boots linux/Android - only thing running is Android but not yet native.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] brumbrum:
Wrong!

Android runs as android should, no winMo active in the background!

The problem is that the current kernel doesnt load/start all hardware, and also that the boot-loader is not modified to boot a linux-kernel yet.

If the kernel had loaded all hardware correct in the beginning, and if the bootloader was modified to boot a linux-kernel there wouldnt be any problem. This is however not easy since there are lots to change...

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] uchian:
Hi,

I'm fairly new round here, but really liking the work you guys are doing :)

I had a few issues getting wlan working with android on the xperia, and had some odd behaviour to share.

I have a wireless router flashed with dd-wrt firmware. Wifi is set up as WPA2 security

When I try to connect with Android, the router shows the phone to be attempting to connect on 3 seperate mac addresses. The result: android disconnects rather quickly :)

Turning off security on the router fixed the issue for me (the router now sees only 1 signal from the phone)

Of course, this may not be related to android at all, but it's worth a try if you have wlan connectivity issues.

Now all I have to do is remember to secure my router again once I've finished playing :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:
