REAL PRECISE CONSUMPTION IS 20% PER HOUR

And thats with 30 second phone call and 1 recieved messege.

So there is progress present. Good work and thanks.

On last version it was 30% per hour without any calls.

I have tried zimage + module from xperia-xdandroid-20100821 from 08/21

It works. What do you want me to test. At fist look it works the same.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leobg:
Wow - first - what amazing speed! Feels faster than ever!

I tried installing Tremere's kernel - things feel better - battery doesn't fluctuate, sound works fine. Haven't tested any further. With wifi enabled battery goes down quite fast though.

Noticed that anything that uses ads won't work. Opera works and is surprisingly fast in scrolling around heavy pages too.

I would say - excellent progress! If the ad thing gets fixed so apps don't die it will be amazing!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neopeek:
Test battery, gmail, apps that use ads (aka browser crash) and overall performance
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
I started GMAIL normaly and get email headers normaly

Browser starts loading page than crashes.

After waking up it takes one second (second slide attempt) to be able to slide unlock key. Yours original is faster when it comes to that works immidietly on first attempt.

There is recharging icon when recharging using tremers files (yours show charged). And battery status is showing correct value. On yours these dont work. So you could use tremers work to fix this.

I would rate that with yours zimage and modules performance is better than tremers.

Only thing left is battery time. Ill be back with that in about hour after this messege.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
When it comes for zImage + modules from tremeres build with your port 24% of battery is consumed in one hour with 30 second phone call.

So your zImage + modules work better when it comes to battery life. But its very close.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
hello all, hello neopeek (man, you're my androidhero! :D)

maybe this'll sounds n00b-ish to you, but i just wanna know when you said 'tremere's kernel' do you mean that 21st august update? isn't the screen's still upside-down on that version? :confused:

please help, im downloading the cyanogenmod now and already have my phone full-charged, anything left is to d/l the kernel and im ready to roll ;)

thanks before, when im done installing, i'll try to report back anything i found
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tosomax:
I don't know anything about how to port android but i have a little advice.

I have a desire too and a recurrent problem is the OJ(optical joystick) death, that causes a huge drain of the battery.

I've noticed that xperia's OJ doesn't work under android, maybe this is the cause of the battery drain...

Just trying to help :o
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
I think if a feature don't work it won't affect battery issue. As tremere said:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tosomax:
like i said, on the desire is a known problem the OJ death that causes a huge drain of the battery, why don't you read?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] loco-:
No, the screen isn't upside down. I think the last version where the screen was upside down was fatsal's 1.6, but even he got it working.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jwte:
The screen will always be upside-down because HTC placed it upside-down but in WM and in some of the Android ROMs(not in the ROMs before February/March) the software is rotating the screen image and in Android its made by a patch in the Android code and not in the Linux kernel code so it shouldn't be any differences in screen orientation between kernels before the rotating is fixed in the kernel code.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] darngeek:
got a 16gb sdcard, 4gb (exactly) ext2 and 1gb(exactly) linux swap, rest fat32.

installed flawlessly, eventho during install the screen was upside down, and during installation the screen turned sidewards before opening keyboard. opening and closing fixed that however. after first boot everything seems to work fine.

youtube even starts, buffering takes forever tho (but i have a slow internet connection on my phone and currently no wifi enabled).

battery consumption is way better than before, which i notice by the device not burning a hole in my desk at the moment.

market also works and installes opera mini fine aswell.

only thing i currently still have is no sound.

other party cant hear me, and i cant hear the other party.

when i call them and they call me.

(still looking for the fix in this thread somewhere, which i know i've seen somewhere.)

rebooting seems abit weird, when pressing the 'hang up?' button, the phone vibrates,

then the screen goes off right after the message apears what i want to do.

by holding it, and pressing reboot at the same time, i sometimes manage to reboot/shutdown. (amidoinitwrong?)

i cant help but wonder about the fluctuations in battery life.

maybe a prediction with current battery usage, but over a way to small average ?

great job btw, testing everything else :)

edit;

keep getting android.process.acore crashes aswell.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] 490973904ch:
To fix sound problem, is this means i shoud just copy zImage + modules from Superfroyo 12-09-2010 to the root of my memory and delete the original zImage + modules?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes. No need to rename anything.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
aight, been using CM6 for a while now and so far its goood :D

and like i said before, i'll try to rundown the things i've found:

booting is fast, the first one only takes me about 2 miniutes, or less maybe.

speed is amazing aswell, everything is smooth and fast (except for the gallery, seems a bit heavy for me).

battery life, with minimum usage (few text, no internet activity) is still needs improvement, got it full-charged at 10am and now my batt shows 40% or so.

no battery fluctuation though, i've cross-checked it with winmo. ;)

phone can get pretty warm hot. even in stand-by/sleep mode.

camera wont work, crashed instantly when i push the camera button in the gallery.

rebooting process is smooth, can easily revert back and forth to winmo.

and i dont know about this one,

everytime

i revert back to winmo, the clock (winmo's) is showing the wrong time, seems like it showing GMT+0 time, while im on GMT+7, is anyone experienced the same thing? or its just me? :confused:

im using tremere's kernel by the way, planning to try SuperFroyo's tonight and see if the heat issue can be solved.

fantastic work neopeek, you really are my androidhero :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
It seems like tremere and most other kernels have time problems. Don't tick "Automatic time" in android time settings and make sure you set rigth time zone.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
okay, will do :)

btw, how about the heat problem? do you experienced the same?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cyberdesigner.net:
matejdro: it doesn't belong to the kernel or android. its just how they use the device-time.

winmo sets the local time as device time while android/linux use UTC for the device but calculate the local time from UTC to show on the screen.

android simply sync UTC to the phones clock. because of that, the time shows wrong in winmo if you switch back ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Well i haven't noticed any problem in SuperFroyo or CM6 kernel. Time was set up automatically, while i had to do everything manually in other kernel
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cyberdesigner.net:
the trick is to not use a local time zone. just use UTC as your time zone in android.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
err excuse me but i really need to know about the heat problem here, is it caused by the kernel or the android itself?

thanks before :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cyberdesigner.net:
as many times stated before it is caused due not working power management and AFAIK there is no tickles-kernel ATM. because of that the phone doesn't go to sleep...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Hi folks,

Has anyone tried the 'unstable' (21/8) kernel from my release with CM6 or SuperFroyo. Did your X1 die silently during sleep, or reboot spontaneously very often like it does on my latest release?

Just curious as the cause may be closer to Android than the kernel itself..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
@ Tremere

as far as i've tried it, nope. i've used your kernel instead of the one included in CM6 .zip file.

you can read my review at page 11, absolutely didnt found any silent death or self-rebooting like you said and its pretty much stable on my device. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Thanks! Guess I'll look over at xdandroid then.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ddutchie:
Thanks, havent been testing android for a while. Great developments in this release. Assuming the same for other releases. Well Done xda
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] 490973904ch:
wifi is unstable.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sstfn:
I have the same problem sometimes I get an ERROR message when I want to enable Wifi. After a restart of Android Wifi works again.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sstfn:
I have, sometimes my phone doesn't wake up. Then I must restart my device and it works again.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tchatzi:
I'm running the 21/8 kernel with the latest (12/9) SuperFroyo and had the not-waking-up problem 4-5 times over the course of a week.

May I add that the phone gets unusually hot when this happens. Is there anything I can do to provide you with more info/logs ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rubencho:
Same for me, SuperFroyo works very well with this kernel, 21/08, only issue is the not-waking-up problem that happens every time I connect the phone to charger for a long period of time.

Regards!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xtra0581:
i tried this out, but after installation, reboot and harnet.exe I only get

"Kernel panic

no filesystem could mount root..."

does anyone know what to do now??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
Just cool your kernel down and tell it not to panic :D

For me it sounds like you havent created partitions correctly. Check if Fat32 if first and Ext2 second. What is the size of your ext2 partitition???
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
As rhadrio pointed out, Tremere's 21/8 kernel works nice with this newest CyanogenMod6, it gives some extra speed!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neopeek:
Ok guys! This evening I will release an update with TWO builds. One is original CM6 and the other Froyoredux CM6. Will let you know once it's updated.

Also a user from spain contacted me and is willing to send me over an additional X1 for free. Once I have received the new phone I might have a closer look to NAND-Flash as user Sequester also wrote back to me that I may use his phone for some additional weeks. I think that's good news.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
but not on another builds though. just found out that SuperFroyo and XDANDROID have sleep problem with this kernel.

so its seems like CM6 and 21/8 kernel are made for each other :D

EDIT: @ vatoloco

well that sounds nice, looks like we're going to have many more improvement from now on :D

but first thing first, what's the difference between FroyoRedux build and the original CM6? and how about SuperFroyo? do you have a plan to update it soon?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neopeek:
Ahh good to know! I will then include 21/8kernel by default on the announced builds and repackage 'em! So we might have a delay of some hours until I can upload them for you!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
take your time dude, anything for a new build :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neopeek:
FroyoRedux is a fork of CM6 and runs better for me on my Diamond than original CM6. It's themed up with black notification bar. Base still is CM6 though!

Regarding SuperFroyo I will of course update it. This will just take some additional time. Due to the fact that I began to port several ROMS i am now thinking about getting them all on a same level first. It's just a matter of time and a matter of how much my wife rubbs my nerves (she's always complaining about how much time I am sitting in front off my computer)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] rhadrio:
oh okaay, but hey, if it isnt too much to ask, could you bring in a clean android port? somehow for me, original android is sexier in someway :o

like i said, its probably too much to ask and sure, you can just ignore this if you think so

..and LOL about your wife complaining :D

i also used to get the same thing when im too busy playing games haha :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Reanrean:
hey, ive just tested FPS and 3D

3D works GREAT! have just played Sandstorm and Fruit Ninja without any slows and lags!

in Sandstorm it gives more than 20 FPS
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xtra0581:
I did partitioning as follows:

Part1: FAT32 11,72GB

Part2: EXT2 345,12MB

Part3: LinuxSwap 40MB.

Startup.txt points at MMCblk0p2

is this correct? do i have to use other partition sizes?

EDIT: After install.exe only 11MBs are used on the ext2 partition. seems a little few for me...

may i know what's different between them?

um actually ..i cant find my contacts in my sim....:( can someone help me
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
First notices on FroyoRedux build:

- No boot screen (probably connected with no HW3D)

- It seems slower than SuperFroyo/CM6 builds.

- It suffers from SoD (it won't woke up sometimes).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Devaster:
C6 combined with latest (22/9) Tremeres kernel leads to no sound.

used in AOSP 2.2 froyo is sound working ...:cool:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Reanrean:
when the flight mode is disabled and phone works it gives buzzing sound "bzz....." and ultra sound "iiii...."

whats the problem?

Re-Updated first post! Stripped it down to a minimum and added important links!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
WoW. So far its looking great. Its very fast. Propably fastest and best android port for X1 so far. Very responsive. Great work. Look of it is great too.

3d works, browser works, calling works, Wifi...and for me most importarnt Headphones works (but its not showing headphone icon).

I will test battery consumption later.

So far i had little problems like:

- my microphone dont work in all calls until i played with volume buttons down and up.

- I couldnt slide call button first time, but now it works great.

- once it crashed and restarted but i think this is not serious issue

Also if you could:

Switch the upper button with right endcall when it comes to waking up the phone and puting it to sleep. Also if you can change messeging to white one from original.

Will be back soon with battery results.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
Now a little negative comment.

When it comes to battery life this is worst Android port. It consumes 35% of battery in just one hour.

And yes GPS is off, Wifi is off, bluetooth is off, no calls at all, no SMS.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] uploadertix:
In my opinion battery life isn't worst - with one hour wifi, market, games, twitter, updating apps, sms & more, and it consumes 15% battery...

Awesome work, big congratulations to neopeek!

Update: Battery charging isn't work for me, and battery meter too. In Tremeres build it's work well.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
First of all have you measured consumption in WM or Android.

Im doing same test every time on 100% battery. Its good to test it with same battery and not different. I re-tested it and its 35% per hour. I tried again to test Tremers version and its 30% per hour.

Either you have ultra good battery, or you have done something wrong. I really doubt that you can use wifi and other stuff for one hour and only use 15% when mine on standby goes 35% in one hour.

Becouse when i use wifi and surfing and market it eats 15% in just few minutes.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] chriszue:
err..all i want to know is about bluetooth headset problem..in this release..is it solved?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jkoljo:
First impressions:

- Very fast otherwise, but main menu lags more than before

- Eats battery, charging does not work

- Main speaker still plays random noises

- Neocore 18,5 FPS so 3D indeed works fine!

- Linpack 4,158

- Hardware keys stopped working once, had to reboot

hey guys? why there are strange sounds from speakers and headphones while using android?

shhhh..., iiii...., bzzzzz and alike
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sutyi:
Hi Guys:)

i have installed the latest CyanogenMod6 to my X1. at first this is very good i like it very much:)

but there are some problems:

1. the battery problem.. charging doesnt work and some times it says there is 50% battery and then a minute later pop up a window saying there are only 10%. after a minute it says 50% again. is there any fixes for this?

2. the camera doesnt work.

sutyi :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
Battery lasting quite well for me, I have no use for GPS/WIFI/Data whilst at work so I tend to turn them off. My phone usually sits in my pocket unused (turn the screen on briefly to check the time). Took my phone off charge at 2pm got back from work at 11.30pm, the moment I walked through the door my phone was asking to be charged. Very happy with this build, previous Android ports cut off at about 7/8pm.

EDIT: Oh and charging works fine for me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sutyi:
good to you:)

i couldn't understand how the charging can be good for you... i put it on charging...charges for 30 seconds then say 100% battery full. and when disconnect the charger it says again 10%:confused:

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Bruce Irons:
Very good release, runs great on my phone, yet to test the battery life out tomorrow at uni, so going to bring my spare battery, but the battery reading seems pretty accurate on my phone and also displays the charging icon when connected to charger. The music player is also good, can play through my speakers and my headphones, although as in the older releases the speaker doesn't turn off. Re: Devastator, the startup text is included in the latest release, all you have to do it just follow the instructions on partitioning your memory card allocating size for fat32, ext2 and linux swap partitions, copy the contents of the latest zip file onto the fat32 partition root, chuck it in the phone and fire up npkinstall then haret once its been rebooted and you should be good to go.
