[XPERIA X1 Android Development] DonDizzurp:
yea the xdandroid devs are GLADLY willing to work with xperia devs seeing as how xperia is a bunch of htc devices put together and they did support kovsky in the start so its in their kernel.

rather than having the latest and greatest android build, im sure a majority of us would just rather have a very smooth not-so-battery-hungry version of android whether 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
I was just curious and wanted to try new XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.1.7.10.BETA.V1 build from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711692

I have put all files to Andboot folder on my SD card, included STARTUP.TXT from 2.01 glossy version to be able to run haret, but no luck for me (after screen calibration and waiting some Android screen was shown but restart followed).

That was my 1st try with XDAdroid, so I expect it was my fault. Is this generic build compatible with X1, or we must wait for special Kovsky build (Tremere)?

Was anyone of you able to get it working, is there some simple procedure to follow (replace system or config files,...)?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
I haven't actually tried their full release, the last I have was their system tree with my own rootfs. Its next on my list

The xdandroid alpha wouldn't be functional on the Xperia anyway, they wouldn't have my screen flip patch (yet)

I've started building my documentation wiki: http://mcbridematt.dhs.org/mobile/

Tomorrow I'll put info on what you need to boot Linux - HaRET, kernels etc. Should be enough for someone else to build and boot the open source Android release.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jwte:
What a great idea to create this wiki :D:D:D

If you need more guides on the wiki I created one for Mer in the past:Mer on X1

Now I'm trying to get MeeGo working on X1.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Darkrider114:
Great going tremere!!!! Your efforts are very much appreciated...... Lets hope for the best....

Everyone cheerup guys...

-Impossible is Nothing-
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
OH!! My uncle will go nuts if You some day get MeeGo even boot on Xperia! He works for Nokia, and he is closely involved in the development. Of course he cannot talk about it much..

But nevermind, I wish You happy developing, and success!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
Cheers Tremere, I'll give that a go. Might even revive the X1 topic on my site with details for first time people, my experience with 2.2, etc. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
Ha, quickly realising that getting that zImage file open isn't going to be an easy task... I'm assuming I need to be using *nix on a dev. machine not a Win7 home PC to master this!

I'll be patient and wait for a release, thanks Tremere for the hint.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
I've seen the xdandroid splash once, but only after the Android userland was restarted ("stop" then "start" in console)

I guess 3D isn't working properly on the X1? :mad:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
Using wpa_cli, to initiate a scan on tiwlan0 returns

CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS Ready immediately with no results, even

though the status command returns "scanning".

I don't think this how it should happen somehow.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Well I guess that answers my question about HD games;).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
i'm using 13 july build and i was trying flash player :) (installation works only placing apks in AndroidApps folder before first start) i'm using custom startup.txt file provided here for pixel density fix

i placed in AndroisApps:

Superuser.apk

chrometophone-android.apk

com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk

com.adobe.flashplayer-3.apk

flash-fixed-nexus.apk

Hulu.apk

after first start, i found that WIFI was working perfectly!!! (i don't have gsm,gprs,edge or umts signal in my zone)

i'm using Energy.XPERIA.21911.Sense2.1.Jul.14, with only gsm actived, idk if this can help

now trying a new first boot with

-a_Superuser.apk

-com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk

only
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Just downloaded and it's way faster than previous builds. It's easy to type with keyboard now (just slide out, while before you have to wait like 5 seconds for device to unfreeze at rotating).

Also one little thing: why lots of builds don't contain wifi support? Is wifi so hard to make or it's simple at low priority since many people have data plans? I don't have one, so wifi it's the only way to connect to the internet. And since android relies heavily on internet, it's not useable for me :(

Anyway, i hope it will be resolved soon. Thumbs up, best build so far.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
could you upload that files for flash player??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
i edited post for more info

now trying a new first boot with

-a_Superuser.apk

-com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk

only

than i'll upload everything :D

EDIT: mmm now i'm stuck at "search in progess" :/
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
What about after the first start does wifi still work for you?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I downloaded that apps, trying now... will post any update
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
For me wifi turns on normally, but it won't find any networks.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I put ALL the .apk files in a new fresh instalation and it stuck in search...just like before.

did you use any application before trying wifi ??

did you run haret.exe with Wifi on from winmobile?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Well, it was not fresh boot. I will delete it and try it from scratch.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
tried again but still without luck... damm.

I need wifi becouse i have not a data plan and gprs is expensive here.....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
wifi on wm was off, i just started haret from total commander

very strange, cannot get wifi working now with the same steps mmm...

before start wifi, i played gallery and a slipknot song, gallery crashed few times because of high number of photos

tryed to start bluetooth (without success) than started wifi, and when i'm gone to wifi setting there was 2 wifi, i connected to a free one, and tryed navigating, was working really good

very very strange...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
it was your first boot? fresh sdcard or you replaced an old build?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
yes 13 july build with fixed startup.txt for density and AndroidApps folder with apks inside

cannot get it working now with same steps:(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
me neither.

damn, you made me happy for a while hahaha.:D:D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Well you guys are lucky at leats 2.2 runs for you. Every time I run Haret it just restarts:mad:. Aslo is their not supposed to be a boot sequence? mine shows one before it restarts?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Did you completely wiped your card?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Of the Android 2.1 files yes? Do I have to remove everything from my memory card?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
Yes, you do. And then, start from scratch.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Ok thanks for the reply. I'll have to get another memory card because I'm not about to wipe my card of all my files, I have alot of important files and they are their for a reason.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I tried booting Xdandroid becouse it seems that their have wifi working, but when it load launcher pro it restart the phone.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Its hard, I can't figure out why it isn't working.

I share your pain. I only have a 200mb data plan so I can't use it daily until wifi works.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
Well, you have 200MB, I only have 20MB... hahaha....

any Idea about why it is not working xdandroid on xperia? it just restart the phone when finish loading
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
Hey Tremere, how much are the evil empire hitting you for 200MB/month?

How are you packing up the zImage, do you do alot of this from your computer or on-phone stuff. How can I go about hooking up the APN details, the Settings > Call settings > Access Point Network page is empty. Cheers dude, what's your PayPal?

Critical issue atm from my day using Android under X1 is:

- power management

- wifi

- mobile broadband

- key mapping

What can us noobs do to help you, models, versions, modules? Thoughts?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
You don't have to wipe your card, no matter what anyone says.

These builds will run just fine with data files, pictures, music, etc on the sdcard.

Android couldn't care less about what you have stored on your card, but to get best results,

you should remove all old android files from your card to get a clean boot.

Of course if your existing files are so valuable, then you really shouldn't be

running a pre-alpha OS on your phone at all :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Well I was thinking the same thing becuase previous Android builds I just got rid of the old and put the new one on my sdcard no problem. I don't know why I coulden't do the same with 2.2 it restarts every time?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ted presley:
I just make a folder name "andboot" in the root of my sd card and copy the whole 7z content of android into that. Just run the haRET.exe - froyo in on your phone :). I'm currently using froyo to send this.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Yes, but to simply remove all files is more fail proof method than only removing android files.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] frodoring:
I tried with another memory card, and work's at the first time.

This card is 2GB and the other was trying before was 4GB.

I noticed that the 4GB card is SDHC and the one I have to work is just SD.

Is this the reason why some works and others not?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cdi90:
Yes, now its a fact. My 8gb sd hc card didnt, but my 2gb sd card work with android.

Micro SD HC cards DONT work with Android!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
They DO work ;) (I've got 8GB SDHC)

Edit: First :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
Yes they do.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes they do, I used SanDisk 4 Gb SDHC Class 4 card and it worked just fine.

Edit: Too slow! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] frodoring:
Kingmax Micro SD HC 4GB class 6 didn't work.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Okay, after few hours of testing this XDAndroid, i couldn't manage to have GPRS connection....

Is there a mean to have it ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ted presley:
I used Sandisk 8Gb SDHC class 6. It's quite ok, not that slow. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
It seems that XDAndroid got a new version, a Release Candidate 1:

Smoothest UI so far. (Thanks to stinebd) With Launcher2 and Launcherpro

Smooth as Donut.. no joke

More to come

Still no slide to answer/button. Just have to use call answer/decline hard buttons for now

So there might be an update for us, too?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
They are hitting me $10, but are giving me a awesome bundling discount for my mobile broadband :cool:

What you want to unpack is rootfs.img or system.ext2. You need Linux to do this and mount in loop mode, i.e

mount -o loop rootfs.img /mnt/rootfs as the superuser

I don't know what causes the APN list to be empty as there is a tonne of predefined APNs in the presupplied config. What I've found (and others have suggested) is add the APN then 'crash' Android by pulling the battery out/something of that nature.

Otherwise what I could do with now is another set of eyes to pick over all these issues :)

XDAndroid has a new rc out so I'll package it up, even without wifi I'll add the keyboard fix and up the LCD density for you folks.

My paypal account is paypal@bionicmessage.net if you want to give me beer money :p
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Additionnaly, does the GPRS work only ? or 3G can work ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] stefanACM:
In my network 3G work perfect but it is really expansive because 100kb cost 0.02€....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Strange... I have no data connection... not even a try of connection ... :/

When i run the chrome or other app, it just told me "No internet connection avalaible.."
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] daweeb:
Please check the rest of this thread... there you'll find info on how to set up your own APN settings and make the fix to solve it...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Thanks for the info going to give it another go with this method. Can I use this method with the 2.1 builds to? Edit I just tried with a 2.1 build and it said can't find rootfs in memory and then then didn't preced from their. I hope this dosen't do the same in 2.2
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Waaaaaaaaw......

Awesome.... i have just understood the meanig of lower button lol.

Okay now data connections works !!!!!

The last thing is the noise produced by the speaker when the data or gsm is working and is active....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xperiaatic:
it is an old thing.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Yeah after re-reading the whole topic, i saw that it is not solved yet :'( !

But now, i didn't even think that this build would be a very portage !!

I DO LIKE IT !

Maybe i won't buy a X10i :°)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I am giving up. I spent my last 48hs trying to get wifi android..

I compiled the last kernel from xdandroid, but the error persist.

even I tried a crazy thing, in a fresh build of this port I replaced the system.ext from the last on xdandroid (2010.07.18) and whe try to enable wifi, it search for networks and after a while it stops searching showing "No networks detected"
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
i tried all the day, with other wifi *.ko modules but x1 cannot find anymore any WIFI (when wm show 4 wifi) :( only error, or loop searching...

yesterday at first boot it was working perfectly, i was jumping on the bed...mystery :confused:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
We'll find the problem - rhodium wifi has just been fixed in the past few days

after a timing bug was found - it might be something like that for xperia too,

or something that has been done with wpa_supplicant since the eclair release.

I had it working myself for about 30 minutes, but after a clean install it didn't work again.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
and how they solved that bug?

EDIT: with the last system.ext2 file from xdandroid I get a message "Unable to scan for networks"
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
http://gitorious.org/xdandroid-eclair/eclair-rootfs/commit/20f5419
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
Come boys!, sure you can find the wifi bug that doesn't allow the Xperia connects to the Internet.

And once you find it this OS will make the X1 one of the best smartphone out there! :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
I did this, my mem card, the one that comes with the X1 AND another one from a Nokia device..for me, none of them work...

It just says, 'MEM card not found...' Dont know what to do...

A clean wipe out always helps...but not mandatory...

Its not the mem card, its the Build...I have a 4 GB card BTW...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Think I will have to forget this for a while...sigh...I hate this...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Plz Guys...is there anyway i can get my Card readable...???
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gaolinde:
yes tremere once the wifi problem solve i guess you can start to cook a rom many of us are willing to test it for you.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ahmedsalem89:
So The Only Thing That's Not Working is wifi??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
I have A-DATA 16GB formatted as FAT32, 1 partition.

Android build beta 2.2 located in folder "Andboot", card is working fine.

Not sure whether it helps you :(

I am surprised why people are requesting ROM at this development stage when many problems still waiting for solution.

For me it's no big deal to start haret from WinMo once a while, until there is fully functional Android available.

I see possibility to have 2 systems in my X1 as advantage (and you never know when you could need f.e. BT, camera or some specific WinMo app.).

But this is just my opinion.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
This is an early release, I made a quick list of critical features missing atm, there's alot of blood and sweat still to go into this project.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
I have a 16GB card too, ensure your Android files are in the root directory, not a sub-folder.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
Ok, but I don't want them in root, they are working fine in subfolder "Andboot" for me. I wanted circleofomega to give some info so he could try the same setup.

(This way I can have another build (Glossy Xperoid 2.01 in folder Android) on the same card.)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
I have 4GB card which was included with X1 and is working great :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
Sweet, didn't know. I'm just going by what I've learnt over the weekend. I'm going to give that a go and drop the Glossy release of 2.01 on mine too :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xperiaatic:
what use is a ROM that makes phone battery last hardly 8h at idle state ?

for me the battery drainage is the biggest concern of them all. no other function has any value when battery lasts so short.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
I agree with xperiaatic.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
Assisting in the development of Android

Hi Tremere!

This is my small contribution to assist in the development of Android for the Xperia X1.

Hope you like it!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Agree with ferlanero.. :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] daweeb:
dito...

the battery is my biggest concern...

I use 3g /gprs...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gaolinde:
haha so i am the only one willing to use a rom.

my point of view is running a rom might able to make system more smooth and help battery life a bit, cause now everything runs on card,isn't it make sense?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
It's true, but there are a lot of problem to convert this Android port in a rom... things like launching the graphic driver and so on, make it almost imposible to create it at this point. Android needs much more improvements till devs can create a stable rom for daily use.

Anyway I would like to see an Android ROM soon on Xperia!! ;-)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
I can see your point, but to me the price for a little smoother system and battery life seems too high.

Until at least major issues are resolved, I can't realize to have this version as my primary and only system, but that's me.

And Ferlanero is right, for now it's not confirmed that creating a ROM based on this version is possible.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lancedehm:
Great port!

This is a great work!!!

Hope to this port will not dead!!!...

I have a question... how can connect your Android 2.2 Xperia based to PC? Using HTC Sync doesn't Work :p

Making the wifi work seems to be difficult.... in first place there are not exists a full featured documentation for the Xperia X1 Wifi?

This port runs smoothly if the main/base HW may work in excellent condition It will be the best SO and Port for the Xperia!! :D

And so, how can we help you Tremere ?

Regards and good work!!! :cool:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Can you guys stop thinking about rom just for a minute? Everywhere i look, you talk just about ROM (where will be released, you can start making rom now, please make rom...).

Wait until SD card version is fully working, goddammit.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Some one told me a couple posts ago about the "andboot" folder but he told me lower case and at launch it said it can't find the files etc........ Is the only way to get this method to work is to use this "Andboot" with the capital A? Also will I still be able to run my 2.1 in the root of my memory card?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
Right. Try to keep dev threads about actual dev and bug reports, please

- rom-spam makes it really difficult to follow what is going on.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
Check more info about default folder for haret versions on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711692&page=100

I have both folders(Android for 2.01 and Andboot for 2.2) name beginning with capital "A" and haret started from the folder is working.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Viper89:
Ok thanks I'm going to give 2.2 another try then:). Yay I finally got this working:D. Thanks blackie333
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
From what I understand, by 'partition' u mean just a folder right? or is it like a partition we have a on our computers?? Like Drive 'D' and 'F'??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
BAD LUCK!!!!NOW IM PISSED AND AM GIVING UP...the MEM CARD ISNT READ, AGAIN!!!

Its the same old shyt...I made a folder called 'Andboot' put all the droid files in it...NOTHING!JUST PLAIN old error..NO ****ING MEM CARD....

Its definitely something to do with the boot splash screen...all other builds just read the card fine...only this build has a problem...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Tremere..i can very much boot into droid...The problem is, when i click Music, It takes a while and then says 'The MEm card isnt mounted or removed' O something like that....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
The second part was directed at the person who couldn't get droid booting.

I'm not getting the sdcard mounting error myself. Does the file manager show the contents of your sdcard?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Very much...i can see it in both the filemanagers, OI and the other one...dont remember the name...i even install a couple of things from the SD card..

BTW, why is it system.ext2..??its supposed to be system.sqsh or something rite??can i change it??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
No no, I mean whole card as one FAT32 partition, not split to several partitions (FAT32, ExFAT, EXT2, ...)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] flamingsamurai:
The SD card not being read was isolated to only one of my SD cards, so it seems like the build doesn't like some cards. Works fine with my other cards though
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
Wifi-update

I built a complete system.ext2 with a debug version of wpa_supplicant.

All scan requests are returning immediately from the tiwlan driver with

"CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS Ready".

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the froyo build,

I just think the radio is off. Will look in the kernel for differences between

xdandroid and the old fatsal repo. Could be something as simple as a gpio or something,

I suppose.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
This i can accept...i tried a frinend's card..she has a Nokia phone and the same capacity card as mine, 4 GB..but same error...

I posted a link here some pages back, it says that the splash boot screen drivers were uninstalled and things went fine...if u want i can hunt for it...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Is this for the Mem card being not read?? If not, can u plz debug this issue as well...whenever I click on Music, It says 'mem card is unmounted or not inserted' I tried another card, same issue. I tried formatting my card 2 times, same issue.

Plz, any help will be greatly appreciated...

Some posts back i mentioned that G1 had the same issue and the dev or some user "Uninstalled a specific boot splash screen driver" and things were solved...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
That is good. Keep going. tell me if I can help with something. thanks
