Wi-fi test build

This is a kernel built from Tremere's latest git branch

with modules from compat-wifi and some changes to rootfs.img

Wifi should work - will do further testing without compat-wifi modules.

Feel free to test - you will need to delete data.img to load the new modules.

Edit: removed attachment - kernel too broken.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I am downloading it for testing... How should I update the kernel?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
extract the archive to the root of your sdcard as usual, and delete data.img ( you will lose you settings)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sopdogg:
Anyone else having issues with apps not in full wvga resolution? I've made the fix to make my screen at 240dpi so my home screens look good. However, when I downloaded apps like Skyfire, AT&T, Mint, paper toss they appear in smaller box not filling up the whole screen. Another issue I've seen is that the Gallery program doesn't appear to work. Anybody have any fixes to these issues?

Otherwise, I'm loving having this version of Android on my phone. I'm using it the majority of the time instead of WM.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
WiFi now turns on with the patch, scans but won't find my network.

We keep getting a little further everyday :-)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I can't get wifi working..

deleted data.img

repalced files in sd root

run haret (wifi on from WM)

when I turn on wifi from android it just frezze in scanning

also getting the phone restart it self!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
I haven't had any restart problems, just the constant "scanning..." in the WiFi menus. Maually adding my SSID does no good either, showing "Not in range" underneath the name when added. Will try formatting my SD and re-applying to see if there's any difference.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I tried it too.. but the same thing that you.

I think that it will not help.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
I shall try a clean install from scratch to see if i can duplicate this.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
OK. waiting....

thanks for your efforts!

EDIT: for the next 4 ours I will be here for try what you need.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
Yes with a clean install from zero I get the same problem - I must have forgotten something somewhere :eek:

Forget the earlier kernel - I will post a new one as soon as I retrace my steps.

The restart problem was known with fatsal's kernel as well - might be something to do with the compat-wifi. Will check.

Damn it was nice to have it working for 30 minutes anyway! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
Complete "slow" format didn't change anything (as suspected ;-D )

I'm still not experiencing any Restart issues though. WiFi enabled in WinMO before starting Haret.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] stefanACM:
Hm i am not sure because Windows Mobile don't have Hardware Acceleration but Flash Lite work good :|

BTW. Flash Lite 4 will be released soon so Hardware Acceleration is not key thing for Flash it is just really good thing :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] unohebat:
try using GPS Tester, and it's working fine
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] unohebat:
ringtone is normally..

anyway, i just install Yahoo Messenger for Android and Yahoo Mail from market, but always showing message "unable to connect", n for mail always showing "your account was deactivated", i try using ebuddy and meebo, and it's work fine.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gaolinde:
overall it's usable though still laggy compare to wm

is it gonna more smooth if flash as a rom?i won't hesitate to fllash it since x1 is now my second phone :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Me too..there are 2 issues i have so far...ringtone is 1, other 1 is tht my mem card is not being detected...im sure these problems wil b iorned out...;):p

Battery seems not charging

3g works as i am posting with 3gnow!

And a little suggestion here: if the current "option" key switch to xpanel button wil be the best i think. This key is hell hard to press
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] JadeSimon:
I'm using this as my primary OS without any major problems. It's pretty stable and sexy! :)

Now.. only if the battery charging worked.. :( Every time I'm low on battery, I need to reboot into WM to charge the phone. Has anyone got the battery charging to work either thru power or usb :confused: Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
Starting Haret with the charger/usb cable in works for me (or did last time I checked) I don't really leave android running long enough with this build to see if it still works.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
I Charge it through the USB, havent tried the wall charger yet...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] JadeSimon:
When I try to charge through USB or Wall charger, it shows "charging" but the charge percentage never goes up, it only goes down. Are you sure your battery charge is going up ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] unohebat:
yes for me, charging percentage is going up :cool:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Yep...It does..mine went from 64% to 84% (USB Charging)..why dont you select the option where>connect to PC, charge only...dont know where it is...

agree.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blondy:
I think you can solve your charging problem if you start android while your phone is charging.

I worked for me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, only works when you connect charger before running haret. I charged my phone overnight, will see how this day goes with android :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gummikungen:
Yes, and if you are going to charge to your computer you must first disconnect the USB-cable, the hit Haret.exe and after 5 sec you must reconnect the USB-cable.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sfms:
hey, i dont know if this is a bug or something. i bet someone has already posted a solve for this but i couldnt find it in this forum. anyways my problem is the hardware buttons are still lit after it has been locked or went to sleep mode. anyone know how to fix this? many thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Devaster:
when u boot android from wm when u have plugged ac or usb charge, android will always charge, and when u plug out and later plug in WITHOUT reboot it will charge again ....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ronin368:
Try this...

before running HARET make sure the key's backlight is off

so they will stay off in Android:)

.....................................................

BTW Great job mate:cool:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
For this, u need to keep the backlight buttons OFF in your WINMO...use the onscreen option of run file and not the hard ware button...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
Android battery usage without data connection now approximately 10% per one standby hour. A lot better than previous builds, but I might add that the phone still gets warm to touch after a few hours, but not hot by any means.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] krogaw:
I can confirm about 10% per hour on standby. I also tested JuiceDefender (schedules the data connection) and I couldn't see any difference in battery usage. On "real" android devices there usually is a big difference.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] blackie333:
For me it's charging even without cable being plugged when starting haret. Whenever I plug the cable when running android, i can see charging in the lock screen and capacity goes up :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ranjo:
Noice speaker

Just installed this android version on my X1 and the first impressions are amazing. A lot better than previous builds I've tried. One thing I noticed is that sometimes after playing some sounds, the speaker stays on and gives some noice. I found out that when you plug in a headset, and pull it out, the speaker is off again. Allthough the noice isn't always irritating, I think the battery will drain less fast than when the speaker keeps making noice.

I'm now using this device for one day, with 3G internet and I'm using it all the time. I've got a portable usb-battery, so i can charge the phone even when I don't have any power :) Keep up the good work!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] XtriFe:
only reasons im not using this as my main OS are battery time and keyboard map
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
I am still waiting for WiFi.. becouse gprs is expensive... and, without internet it is difficult to use it...

hope angusmcb had luck with wifi....
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] glazik:
anybody know a reason of problem of battery?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
This is just an Alpha build, don't expect it to work anywhere near perfect. Everyone involved in this has a long way to go yet before this can be used as well or as close as it is on native Android devices.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] glazik:
of course i understand it. but i steel don`t understand what a reason of finishing a battery in 8 hours... some of programs work all time? a cpu working on on 100% all time?...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gaolinde:
ya the battery life is good comparing to earlier build but still need to be improve

lost about 40% of juice like in 3 hours stanby mode
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
i have read that one of the reasons for battery drainning is that the speaker is always on... and it is true!...

check the other androids builds for xperia also have this problem
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] glazik:
so.... if i will remove a speaker (i don`t use it) it will resolve a problem.... hm...

:)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
but your phone will no ring!!!

it is ONE of the reasons... it must be others too.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] maniac0213:

Is there some kind of patch to get WLAN to work
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
It has to be a part of the kernel AFAIK....

Also, i wanted to know if some1 tried the 13.07.10 build and if it hasthe same lil problems as the 10.07 build...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tastetrout:
thanks, that doesn't sound very easy, I'll wait WLAN to work, x1 has become obsolete and many people don't use it anymore
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] DonDizzurp:
windows mobile is obsolete, the x1 is an amazing piece of hardware
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
disagree. actually, technically u are right...but still, the time it was launched, it was a masterpiece..it was WAYYYY ahead of its time...

agree.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tin427:
x1 is the most beautiful device i've used:D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] unohebat:
I think coz of android placed on the memory card, it make battery drain fast and heat
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Now trying the 13.07.2010 version...wil report updates...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] stefanACM:
@unohebat

I dont think soo...

Memory card dont using too much battery but things like:

-24/7 speaker on maximum volume

-software listening 5 keys (on windows it is only power button)

-processor clock is still high in stand by

Etc...etc...

Why developers dont make auto speaker off system in stand by i cant believe :D

I think some peoples write code for that yet can somebody of developers try this ???

And please can somebody make to Andorid waiting only POWER BUTTON to deactivate stand by mode, not like now 10 keys is active...

Thanks ;)

EDIT:

Please can an developer release version without speaker running ???

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
I think I found out the reason why the mem card doesent read..its to do with the driver controlling the boot splash screen..if the Dev is reading this, can he plz make the chnage...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] unohebat:
one of them, battery problem more heating coz android system running on sd card...

but i'm sure main problem is because this system alfa version (still unstable)..

waiting for better version.. :D

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ferlanero:
It's good to see you Tremere here! Only one question: when do you think Xperia Android project merges in with the HTC devices? I think this improves the development of this OS in our devices.

Thanks again for your incredible work!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
Yes would be better to focus android development on one point :)

So will you join XDANDROID after that (to work i.e. on standby power managment)? Or open and manage the Dedicated Kovsky Thread :D

For the merging progress take a look at gitorious here.

8 Kovksy Commits since yesterday including Headset and Bluetooth (:eek:) support :D

how do i install an app? im trying to use terminal to install a file manager so i can install some games since i dont have a dataplan to use the market.. i tried "install app.apk" and "busybox install app.apk" it doesnt work, do i need to add the destination as well? if so whats the location and how do i use the / symbol, i cant find it..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
Create a new folder called "AndroidApps" (in sd root directory) and place your .apk's there
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
copy the app on ur SD card and just go to the filemanager and say installl...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Thats plausible, there should be a splash screen but whatever the xdandroid folks have done to cook the system.ext2 has made it go away on the xperia.. probably explains the mem card issue as well

If you can't boot Android (just stalls), first try deleting data.img

If that doesn't work, try backup, format SD card, copy only Android, try again. If that doesn't help try another SD card, preferrably 4GB or lower.

Thats all the ideas I have.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
This thread is going too fast - credit to lordblacksuca for alerting me to your progress.

I thought we don't use compat-wifi with Android, just tiwlan? Or is it bits of one and the other?

Guess I learn something new every day :cool:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
so wil we get our SD card read or just forget about it...plz...this is the BEST build of Droid...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
The build script I use compiles both into the modules archive,

so i was messing around with both tiwlan and wl1251 + linux stack.

The version that worked briefly for me was tiwlan, and it exhibited the same

behavior as on eclair - ie hard reboot when switching off. I can't seem to

duplicate it at all though :(

At the moment, I am concentrating on tiwlan

( I have removed the 80211 stack from the kernel since tiwlan contains it's own stack)

but I'm kinda running out of options.

Did you say other devices have had the same problem?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] DonDizzurp:
thanks, it worked

lol the whole point was because there isnt a file manager.. or maybe i didnt look hard enough? :confused:

Still no 3G/HSDPA with this build on my X1

Hi,

tried this build,

3G/HSDPA (= internet access) doesn't work.

I previously tried the following with the other builds (and repeated part of it on the 2.2 version), this is described in the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653303

The only build which works on my X1, is the HTC Sense version 2.1 (which was now discontinued) by crashing com.android.phone. I described the details here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6529910&postcount=39

I so far have not found a way to crash com.android.phone in build 2.2, maybe someone has an idea (and also a clue for a fix).

/j
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
gprs work. just set the apn manually then restart.

if you have problems, disable 3g network
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] the49ers:
Workaround: Still no 3G/HSDPA with this build on my X1

This is not the resolution, already tried it.

Like in the "HTC Sense" version, one has to crash the system again,

the positive aspect of the 2.2 version is, that it is easier to crash.

I have posted the workaround here:

The xdandroid people listed a similar problem in their first beta released. But it seems to be userspace related solved by changing how dhcpcd or wpa_supplicant got called.

Since we are using the fixed rootfs and system I doubt its the same problem, but I'll go and ask anyway.

had you tried disabliing and then enabling the 3G network?? it worked for me, for a while it show no conections, but then signal is back and a edge logo appears too.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
This is amazing work, I picked myself up a new sdcard to keep my WinMo ROM's and Android files separate... 2.2 working a treat!

Read through the replies here and am still confused regarding getting symbols and number keys on the slide-out keyboard working so I can type in my wifi password, or is there an on-screen keyboard I can turn on... this is my first few hours with Android. :)

http://pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/keymaps_keyboard_input.html

I understand the X1 uses the Q14 method (a keyboard that includes all letters but multiple letters per key).

Great work! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Keyboard symbols didn't work in the 13/7 distribution. There is a fix if you are able to tinker with the root filesystem image:

http://gitorious.org/~mcbridematt/x...mmit/6f6e374247792a5439266e435a89b439550dfd4d

After patching you need to add physkeyboard=kovsq (qwerty) or kovsa (azerty) to the command line in startup.txt
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Yes, USB was working but, noone managed to find proper drivers.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Desktop drivers I presume?

Using a Gentoo VM on OS X, so I didn't notice it :p

As for progress, couldn't get wifi working today, the driver didn't detect the chipset (or rather the sdio slot) so hit a wall :mad: Maybe there is something I don't know about. I think I'll attack the 3G radio instead..

The xdandroid folks haven't got much further either, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6955467&postcount=8793

My experience with 2.0.1 Clean..

.. may help you, re: 3G and/or WiFi (inspired by your 1:30am log)

In the forums, others had found that, in order for Wi-Fi to work on Android, need to enable it in WinMobile before using HaRET and starting Android.

For me, Wi-Fi didn't have to 'pre-enabled'; could go from OFF to ON, and worked OK. Also note that 3G worked out-of-the-box (albeit a slight delay before finding the 3G data signal); voice calls works right away.

Notes:

1) once Wi-Fi enabled, turning it OFF via "Settings.. Wireless & Networks.. Wi-Fi" caused Android to crash (well, reboot).. NOTE: before crashing, 3G connectivity is lost as well (at least, "3G" symbol disappears)

2) once Wi-Fi enabled, turning it OFF via "Settings.. Wireless.. Airplane Mode",

Wi-Fi (and 3G, too, of course) turn off; turn off Airplane mode, and WHILE Wi-Fi is turning back on, can disable it *and Android does NOT crash*; Wi-Fi can then be re-enabled and work OK

3) once rebooted from above, Wi-Fi is already on; 3G is NOT on initially.

*can* disable Wi-Fi, and Android did NOT crash. Eventually, 3G data indicator turns on, and tests OK; can also make voice calls

4) try re-enabling Wi-Fi: works, connects to access point

5) can disable Wi-Fi.. can enable/disable, seems NOT to crash.. wow, never got this far before

6) I had intended to put this after 2), but 3) and 4) are new results today =D

'this' is (from memory; sorry, don't want to 'jinx' my phone's state.. unless requested, want to try and preserve).

'this' is that, if the airplane mode trick is used, VOICE calls would never connect properly until.. reboot? re-enable WiFi? sorry, i forget.. the key point is (I think) that turning Wi-Fi on/off on its own, vs via Airplane Mode, *seemed* to cause different actions.. maybe compare logs/etc and see *what* that diff is?

Thanks for working on FroYo on X1!!

I put my hope into this project and Tremere. The idea of documenting all steps needed for modification standard release is a very good base for the future.

Other developers could participate in this project or share these basic X1 tweaks as a base for their own projects. Very promising, my respect goes to Tremere for all his effort.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] albertkutw:

Sure. I'll set up a site for all of my "experiments" today.

My plan is to port xdandroid's work to the Xperia so we can share the work with the other HTC phones and we don't get left in the dark. Then I'll reverse engineer everything they did so people can port Froyo and future releases (i.e 2.3) on their own.
