Great "rom"! Tried the 07/20 version and its the first time my 3g internet works! Very fast and stable rom.

The only downside is the battery drainage (which has allready been a lot improved since previous versions).

Waiting for WIFI support :)

Keep up the good work!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
at least!!! wifi working!!!....

rubencho, I can't thank you enougth!!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
New image released with the wifi fix :)

Any keymap experts here? I'm not quite familiar with the Android keymap system yet..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Great ! Lemme try it :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
After all that - it was a busted tiwlan.ini only. Damn.

Working fine here after replacing only that file.

Happy days :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
I was thinking in the same way too ! But i forgot to try it ^^ !
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
What is advantage of Gentoo vs current linux?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Sweet! Personally I'm more interested in MeeGo but I want to do app devel for Android as well.

(You might run into trouble with N900 images being compiled for armv7, which don't run on the Xperia, but you can cook your own image for armv5 from what I've read)

Unless you're 'cooking' your own mobile operating system, not much. Gentoo is source based so we can disable features we don't want (i.e CUPS printing). I have been experimenting with an Enlightenment e17 environment. Just need a dialer app (working on it) and a comm manager, and you have the best web browser ever on the X1.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] DonDizzurp:
maaaaaaan i cant wait for this project to kick off.. windows mobile is pissing me the fuuuuuuuck off...its terrible and it makes the xperia run so slow..

i see you havent updated anything since june 28, you still workin on this?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Lunie:
Neat, good luck.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Not sure what the xd guys have done, but their tree isn't compiling, and the GUI isn't booting on the Xperia. Grrr..

So I've backtracked a bit into building my own Android 'product' with the open source tree. For my fellow hackers, instructions are on the wiki. Shouldn't be much more to get the radio up.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Devaster:
xdandroid with latest kernel,rootfs running:

- no audio - ringtones

- data connection ok (EDGE)

- screen upside down

- phone working

- it seems that GPS too

- after more testing the mic is not always working
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
Is it possible for you to upload it?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
What have happened to 2.2 project? Blog is the same for many days now. I hope you didn't quit or your X1 broke.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
Nice find, could you please check 3D video acceleration or compare interface speed with previous versions(2.01, 2.1)?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
I'm still here, just busy elsewhere

@Devaster so you got their rootfs working? Didn't work for me.. (GUI didn't start). When I was running it I used the default Android rootfs

Update: Talked to stinebd about including the fix in xdandroid, he'll get it incorporated into the xdandroid sources, so in theory, once the kernel is merged we will be using the same dist as the other HTC devices :)

@blackie333 The xdandroid interface is pretty speedy compared to previous Android verisons on the X1
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Lunie:
Great news, we are dying down here. (=_= ')
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
Did you try 2.1 or 2.2 ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
Great news tremere for the Xperia Comunity: at last we can have best OS on best phone ever ;)

Only one one question: when and where ;) we can see if patch have been already aplied to use Xandroid on our Xperia?

Thanks for you efforts in porting Android to the Xperia plataform!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
I would like to test this updated version too, but I can't manage to create working xdandroid environment.

Could you please specify what startup.txt version do you use and which files from original package have to updated?

I have updated "zimage" and renamed "modules-2.6.27.46-01112-ga684137.tar.gz" to "modules-2.6.27.46.tar.gz" from "linux-msm.201007072202.tar.gz" package.

Also "rootfs.img" is updated from "rootfs-20100707-943da17.zip", but still reboot after 1second of showing Android gui. Your help is really appreciated.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] stefanACM:
It that any new release of kernel for Xperia ???

Where i can download it ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
if I can get xdandroid running stable today I'll push it out regardless of what features are working. At the moment I'm stonewalled with the GPS crashing the entire system on boot.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
Thanks a lot Tremere, that would be a big next step.

I hope that you succeed to fix the GPS issue ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] fracmo2000:
Wow, i upgraded to an hd2 and never looked at this forum until today! I will be digging it out and installing 2.2 for sure! Nice work!

Question regarding the project, I wonder if somebody could answer it;

I read that android supports something called USBHost? Will allows you to connect up say wireless/bluetooth keyboard and mouse...but also allows video out via usb? Is this true?

If so, I would love to connect up my old x1 to my tv with a wireless kb/mouse :D

Sounds too good to be true...what you guys think?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] 5526859:
It's that a ROM or just booting in X1??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
I'm getting close folks, after a kernel update and rebuild everything worked again, now I'm compiling an image which I hope has all the xdandroid additions in :)

Yes, the chip in our devices supports USB host mode so with the right cabling you could plug in USB devices to the Xperia. I've only seen it on the Hero and the newer Nexus One. One day I might try it out, a mouse and keyboard would be damn handy for hacking normal Linux distros
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
In mine I had to disable the calibration file, changing tiwlan.ini had no effect :eek:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] unohebat:
can u upload to another server bro??? i really can't download from this source..;)

i was try using terminal to edit (rootfs.img) /etc/wifi/loadit with ubuntu, mount and umount rootfs.img. but can't load into android, always repeat in boot screen battery information...:(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rohith_luffy:
sanjay has keymapped his eclair 2.1 very well ....maybe he can help u
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leuleu9x:
Oh yeah! thank pro:D:D:D:D:D

I like it, but my games isn't full screen?

-Real Football 2010

-WelcomeToHell_v1.0.3
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
Oh yeah I changed to -e /proc/calibration as well, which of course doesn't exist in our kernel. Premature altzheimers for me :eek:

That's a bit bizarre really - how is tiwlan picking up it's MAC address & stuff without the eeprom data?

I'm going to try a few combinations to see what works best.

Maybe getting it to work without the .apk configuration is desirable -

it is using an old-stye unix socket for comms instead of the usual /dev/socket/wpa_tiwlan ctrl_interface=tiwlan0 combo.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Guys thank you very much for the instructions on how to enable wifi. Now when I'm finally connected to the internet, I can start testing this build for real. This is what I found till now:

-keyboard seems to be too sensitive (if you hold button too long just for a moment, multiple characters appear. I think delay should be bigger)

-new DPI looks nice. Now more stuff can be on the screen at the same time. I just hope it won't affect finger-friendliness much.

P.s.: I. Just saw that you released new wifi version. But I don't regret doing it myself. It makes me feel more like I am actualy doing something and not just waiting for releases and leeching
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gaolinde:
sorry question here. using the new update file do we need to do anything before the wifi works? or the wifi just simpky works as the froyo started?thanks in advance :)

really happy to have all you genius here, i have absolutely no idea how the problem solved but here we are!:)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Vipous MG:
wifi error

Then i true wifi on phone go to reboote
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Good to know there are some tinkering souls around.. I love it!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] unohebat:
thanks very much bro...download on progress :D

I'm frustrated writing underscore ("_") in terminal using xperia keyboard
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
T-T-Triple Post!

So far, Amazon S3 (which I use to host these builds) reports 310 downloads across all the froyo builds I've done totalling 264GB of bandwidth
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
@Tremere :

To have superuser access, we have to install SuperUser.apk ?

In this release, su shows me "permission denied" in terminal !
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
yes... it was a little file. damn.

but, look to the rigth place, now with wifi working, we can start doing other thing, like, bluetoth, better keymaps.. for ex.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
Tremere, I have a Rapidshare Premium account, if you need it to host builds of Froyo, please PM and I upload every new release you make.

Keep this amazing work!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
me too. Also, i have an own host. I sent a PM to you.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
Yes, I can confirm this, this updated RC1 version has problem with su apps.

f.e. SetCPU and overclocking widget stopped working
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
Tremere, I'm afraid nobody has released a properly qwertz keymap for Android on Xperia (I've cheked fastal and sanjayecb), so we can only do is share the photo posting by Matzemink to develop one.

This is a quertz layout keyboard: http://is.gd/dCbgb (thanks Matzemink by the picture)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Hmm, guess I'll have to add superuser.apk to it.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Music application scales down at 200dpi, so certain portion of the screen is black and there is small music application in the center. Probably also happens with some other apps but I didn't checked it. It is all fine with 240dpi.

Is there any way to fix that behaviour and have these apps in fullscreen? 200dpi looks 10x better to me but it's waste of space if some applications are not in fullscreen

EDIT: also youtube app sems to be buggy. HQ playback don't work (black screen), but youtube defaults to HQ version regardless of checkbox in the settings, so there is extra step needed to watch video (switch to standard qualiity).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:

This is awesome!! My first contact to a working Android-port (have tried several times with my playtoy Diamond, always failed) and I'm impressed!

Keep on!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Vipous MG:
2 hours standby phone stay very hot
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Time for my battery report:

It was completely full at start of the day (i unplugged it around 11:00). WinMo was running till 13:00. After that i launched android for an hour and after an hour i turned on wifi. So summary:

2h WinMo

1h android

4h android wifi (mostly android marked and xda, always on (no standby))

till battery is dead. And phone was not hot at all.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] yinjianweizxc:
Good jod!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] garr89:
All right. Finally going to get android on my X1. Do I just follow this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=650559) with Tremere's release instead of fatsal-xperoid-20100221.7z ? And then just follow the rest of the instructions.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sanjayecb:
to me it seems the best release of android for Xperia

as of yet

hoping for something much better in future
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Cheekbone:
Great work on the latest port!

I'm having a strange problem though. It finds every wifi network in my neighborhood, except my own. Never had this problem before. Am I the only one?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jwte:
No, I have the exact same problem too. I tried to add it manually but it didn't find it. I have a Belkin N+ Wireless router using WPA+WPA2 with SSID containing swedish letters(åä).

It worked with my old zyxel router and 2.1 Android.

EDIT: I turned on the guest access function and used WPA and it worked but it still don't find my private network but it's maybe the WPA+WPA2 combo.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lancedehm:
Great work...

Wifi + 3G/GPRS works out of the box (Exchange Sync trough 3G is slow and may have some connection errors)

For those who wants to test the 3G/GPRS APN for Movistar Chile it is:

apn: web.tmovil.cl

usr: web

pwd: web

MCC: 730

MNC: 02

Disable and enable Network connections (Airplane Mode) and it will work!!!

Great Job with this port!!

Hope in the future to have GPS + CAMERA and some performance improvements!! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xperiaatic:
same here. in my case wifi was turned off and only mobile data connection was active.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Cheekbone:
Really weird.. I just used my other phone as a wifi router and it worked just fine. The network name of the one that doesn't work is "WIFMVGHYR". Nothing special..

Authentication is set to "Mixed WPA2/WPA -PSK" on my router..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xperiaatic:
GPS actually works ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lancedehm:
oh, yes??..

I try it with the last build and Google Maps and kills my phone!!! I will try again and test...

You make something special?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xperiaatic:
nothing special, gmaps works right away and additionally tested with GPS Test app from market.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sopdogg:
Tested both the Google Maps and Navigation and it works great! I'll have to do an extended test soon...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gaolinde:
tried the new build

the wifi works(keep disconnecting, can only reconnect by restart router), but overall not as good as the 1307 build :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
In my opinion, after few hours of testing... :

The battery is warmer when using only the Data Connection ! In fact, the phone is almost cold when i'm using the WiFi only. (3G disabled).

...

And,

I've just noted that... my phone don't vibrate when I receive a call or SMS , in vibration mode ?! Did i have to config something special ? oO
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] daweeb:
oh how I wish we could solve the battery wasting issue...

How's it working on the other qualcomm phones?

Is it maybe related to the transmitter and not only to "the always-on-speaker"...

Everybody should brainstorm on this problem...

Bluetooth and Camera... sure it would be nice... but draining the phone in less than 6 hours makes it, as you all know, quite useless...

Oh... if it could only last for one day (charging at night)... then I would go all in with android on my lovely x1...

Thanks again for all your efforts and spare time
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] 5526859:
I try it·But can not charging on it·Why？
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sickboyhh:
actually my keyboard issue for special characters is gone (numbers and signs are in the correct place) so im able to live with z<->y.

WiFi ist working fine with good performace also. One thing i cannot use with this new build is the android marketplace program. either with 3g nor Wifi.

Good Job so far.

Power Saving and BT would be nice to make it standard on my X1 but for testing its realy good work.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] fu-raz:
For me, this is the best android port ever. Everything that I need works out of the box! GPS, GPRS, 3G, WIFI. I'll see if it's good enough for daily usage
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] przemhb:
It's great to see 2.2 working on X1!

Below are some of my wishes:

- root it please

- currently there's no Polish language - I would like to be able to switch to it

- turning off is very annoying - I spend a few minutes tapping "Power off" and then a while tapping OK

- I hope you'll manage to fix bugs related to 3D acceleration and enable it once again

- power management lefts much to be desired, but I hope one day it will be done and battery life time significantly increase
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
I think this release is already rooted

Turning off it's simple - hold end call button and when menu appears press D-pad down few times (while still holding power button). When entry in menu get focus you can release power button.

How is power management working in xdandroid on other devices? Are they having same problems or they managed to fix it?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] spamam1:
update first post?

Hello,

Tremere, I think it'd be worth it to edit the first post with quick/key info:

- re: power key to turn off -- can forego the HO-OOO-LD the power key issue via:

Spare Parts.. End Key Setting (*).. Nothing

- 3D *hardware* acceleration has been disabled, since we don't know (yet) know how to tell Android to use it; by doing so, *software* acceleration is used (hence the flying androids); I think some/many people see 'disabled' and think there's NO acceleration

thanks and keep up the great work everyone!

(*) sorry, booted into WinMob at the moment; can't recall exact wording
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] spamam1:
rooted, but not superuser'ed?

An earlier post mentioned SetCPU was force-closing; I believe it requires root to install/run/etc properly. Hence the (likely/hopefully) inaccurate conclusion, "it's not rooted".

I think I had SetCPU working on 20/07, but maybe it was 13/07; so, aside from Wi-Fi and APN fixes.. any other changes?? Maybe in the XDANDROID files, not necessarily Tremere's tweaks.

thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
AFAIK root means you have full access to device memory. But you already have it, since you created it (rootfs is virtual drive that functions as main memory).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
I find both under WM and Android that the xperia gets real hot when 3G data is used for a long time.

I suggest turning off background data in Accounts&Sync, should improve battery life a bit.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Maybe little offtopic, but you could update first page. It says "no android images yet" and line bellow is the download link :D

Ok back to topic, why the hell 3G sucks battery that much? I always thougth that WiFi is biggest leech. So it seems like battery problem lies in phone radio.

Today i didn't had any phone calls, messages or data usage. But android still shows that "Cell Standby" (which is phone radio i suppose) had 40% of whole battery usage. And i heavily used WiFi today. Something is not rigth here.

This has to be the most frustrating version of Android I've ever used, Now the latest version of this doesn't even work in the Andboot folder:(. In root and sub folder it it restarts every time, I have never had this problem with any of the other versions. Now I have no choice but to buy another memory card. Can someone please tell me what type of card you are using and does 2.2 it work in the root?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] steadyshot:
This build (22/7) is the most functional and useful yet. Thank you Tremere and rubencho. GPS, Data connection, and wifi all work. And I don't know if this is already known, but "my location" via cell towers works for me now. I can't wait until bluetooth and the camera are functional! :D

I see that the android package here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=650559) has a conf folder and AndroidApps folders. Since this is my first time doing this I'll be following their instructions. Should I copy over the conf and AndroidApps folders? Also, the one from this thread has the extra media folder. Were there instructions in this thread that I missed? Sorry if these are annoying questions, just want to make sure I'm doing things correctly.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
The Android build in this thread DOWNLOAD is the most up-to-date build so far. To install just extract the contents of the zip to the root of your SD card, if you want to install an apk (android app) without using the market you can add a folder named "AndroidApps" to the root with the rest of the files.

The thread with fatsal's version should probably be updated now that this build (2.2) is up & running.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Ignore conf.

AndroidApps doesn't work in the latest release for some reason, and media/ contains all the ringtones.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xperiaatic:
for me Andboot folder works just fine. maybe you can try format the card but not in a computer but in the phone.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] keeni:
Thanks for making this port/built. Most functions are working pretty good. But I think some work is still needed to make this a daily use phone.

Seems the battery indicator is working well. It reports pretty correctly the amount of battery the phone has.

One thing I notice, the backlight is not off even though the screen is blackout. Probably this explains the battery drain. If we could handle this backlight issue, 2.2 on X1 is a go for me.

Thanks for the good work. Keep it up.
