thQ

thQ NeeDo and all other developers of this rom. its working nearly perfect for me;)

there's only one problem that's make me crazy, and didn't have it in all other builds... if i push the power button, for standby, and push the power button again for waking up from standby... the phone isn't locked... so if my phone is in my pocket i press the touchscreen but i don't want that...

thnx

keep up the good work everyone;)

WOW, just done a new fresh install with new kernel, now pure froyo is awesome!!!

Audio problem fixed

Virtual keyboard for calling fixed (very responsive)

No crash or reboot, at first boot everything is working well!!!

NESoid works smoother than CM 20.2fps build!!!! :D

EDIT: 3D apps are slower :) and there is an upper band that is not aligned with 3d apps or moving left and right home screen :) it's really visible when scrolling a list in landscape mode :(

wake up works very well, no crazy screen anymore :)

EDIT2: after 3 hours, phone doesn't wake up xD need to remove battery
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ronniebiggs:
I was about to say that the battery life was bad, but now there is a new kernel, I'll test that one :)

On the old kernel I got 8 hours of standby, which is less than on superfroyo. Hope the new kernel will match that, since purefroyo is much smoother in use.

I am using my phone with GPS off, data on (since I need to use Whatsapp). I also disabled all screen transitions as I like it to pop up normal. SetCPU was also setup as you advised. The rest I left as is. I only changed the wallpaper to a dark one (preference) no live-wall.

On a sidenote, your (NeeDo) basic startup has a OC value of 652000, you said on your new kernel post that you were using a OC value of 614000. I changed to that since I hope battery life will be even better. Or is this not recommended?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] needo:
really strange !! make sure you have removed the old partitions and made them again ...

i think the new kernal have no more problems with the keyboard ..

& the camera is comming soon as the kernal devolopers promised ..

bluetooth is still not fully functioning with many other devices , but i think that it is not so hard ..

Yes i think this is a general video hardware encoding bug .. can you find it working in any other builds .. ?!

I think this issue fixed in the new kernal ..

Thanks polcomp ..

glad to hear that .. :)

yes pirlano i know about 3D ,but really ygge is doing his best to improve the 3D performance & i think it is really the best 3D experience other than the high performance kernal , but this one is more suitable for our device and has an accurate battery indicator & much more ...

also i can confirm phone death after deep sleep ..

please try to remove this value (pm.sleep_mode=2) from the startup.txt ..

& tell me if the problem fixed or not .. i'm testing the rom now without it & seems to be doing well ...

ok Ronnie , i think that the battery drainage isn't as good as expected .. i hope ygge can provide us with a new kernal with less drainage soon ..

about the OC i'm using the provided startup.txt so it is 652 , but this was the value which ygge reported .. it is up to you .. it may preserve some more battery & not very effective in the overall performance ...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Do I really have to do a complete reinstall to try the new kernal? I've had an experia for about 1 week now, and done sooo many reinstalls!!! Starting from scratch sucks.

If I did a completely clean reinstall, can I use titanium to restore everything?? Is that the way most people do it? Any problems with that method?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
testing :)

mmm very strange, audio disappeared again:

tryed to re-enabled full audio in normal mode and multimedial mode, still no sound, if i try to change some settings in settings->audio, audio tab crash :s

NESoid crash too...

Sometimes the left softkey don't show the menu of the app, but goes 1 step back.

And the wireless internet is slow.

The rest of android works pretty and smooth.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pirlano:
battery drain is tooooo fast, full to empty in 4 hours, but no sleep of death :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ronniebiggs:
I am curious, since even with the old kernel I doubled the battery time. What did you do with the phone? Did you use it constantly? Did you disable GPS? Did you use wifi?

I am doing my tests as if I would use it on daily basis. Data on (3g) wifi and gps off. Mostly only in standby mode with WhatsApp running in background. Still testing battery time on the new kernel. As of now, I have it off of AC for 1h10m and lost 6% battery (according to the Android measurements)

I am still wondering though how these percentages are calculated. I assume the device is running at 3V or 3.3V and the battery is 4.5v. Then 100% full would be when the battery is 4.5V and empty (0%) when it reaches the 3V or 3.3V. Since we see the device turn itself off at the 50% range, I think the calibration is wrong. Also, I am unaware if the battery drainage is linear or exponential. I am trying to log the battery drainage and then see if I can get some data out of it, perhaps then some Dev might be able to rewrite the battery calulation so it reflects the true battery drainage.

PureFroyo

Hi.

I'm using purefroyo and I'm experiencing constant lost of GSM.

each 10-15 min I check my phone and it is stuck in pin entering screen for the sim card. Has anybody any suggestions how to solve this.

Generally speaking this is the biggest problem and I would say only for me.

Battery drain is a little bit high on a stand by it eat 40% in 4 hours.

I'm almost prepared to use Android on my X1.

Thanks for a great job.

PureFroyo and New Kernel

Hello;

Here the results of my tests with build Purefroyo and New Kernel:

- Installation OK;

- First boot takes a long time;

- Setup and Synchronization with Google, all right.

- Visual effects are nice but very slow on my X1a;

- Many error messages from the framework;

- Wifi is unstable;

- Too slow to write to the database;;

- I could not use the build to benchmark tests, it was very slow.

Testing the new kernel in SuperFroyo Neopeek:

- Fast;

- No keyboard lock;

- No problem loading battery;

- Wifi unstable;

- 3G signal unstable.

- After some time of use becomes unstable, showing many error messages framework;

Both tests were done on a 2GB memory card formatted before being used.

I hope the information helped.

Thanks for the build ... :)

Hugs.

battery charged from wm

used 4/5 hours with gps off, wifi off, 3g off (i'm covered only by gsm, gsm on), with half hour of using, and 4 hours of standy

(and after that battery is really empty with wm too, so drain is too high)

i think battery calculation is wrong too, values are crazy

but it's still in development, so it's ok, i'm happy to test new kernels ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ronniebiggs:
Wow, that is not too good. You remembered at what percentage the sudden drop to red/low/empty was?

About the battery calculation, I used the mV values per percentage i got from the battery app included in the package and the results were pretty weird. Although percentages did drop, sometimes the mV value increased (counter-intuitive) Since there was such a noisy signal, I could not get a nice fit on the data, so the decrease cannot yet be fitted as linear/exponential/logarithmic or whatever.

I am charging in winmo again now and redo the test once more, maybe that gives more consistant data.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] korokoro:
woww,really great Rom

everything were soo fast,music player work,headset work too...

but i have a few problem,

it seems my phone restart to wm by itself whenever i standby the phone for more than 1hour..

and..Needo,

how do you get 20.2fps in Neocore?

bcoz my phone never got more than 18fps..:confused:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pbfree:
Hi,

I was already using the SuperFroyo, I have updated it with the new kernel from Ygge & Alexander the first results are very good, slow boot but at the end very fast.

I confirm that the service for debugging does not work properly while the battery could charged without connect the power on winmo.

-overclock to 633mhz

-quadrant standard result:576

Good Work.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jyxrix:
ok now work but battery drain is to fast, wifi off, data, and gps..

only 3g on... 4h not more. recive one sms and one call...

the fone not wakeup before 1h in stantdby...

try to revise kernel...

cumps
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ronniebiggs:
I have been trying out the new pureefroyo with the latest kernel, but it is not stable enough for daily use. I get the frequent SOD which I did not get on other builds/kernels.

I could not even properly test the battery performance.

Until now the only big improvements over superfroyo for me are the smoothness of android and the readability of the notification bar (and time)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] needo:
Quick Fix ..

This will fix the sleep of death problem .. & Decrease the battery drainage ..

For me (i'm still testing PureFroyo) the battery drainage now became better ,but not the best ..

The sound disappearing problem seems to be due to the kernal ...

Ygge will try to fix it in his next release ...

* please use this startup.txt with this kernal only ...

with high performance one , use the old one ...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ronniebiggs:
I am trying an old kernal (keyboard fix) with purefroyo now. But your quick fix might be interesting. I just need more battery life, so I will test this combination first, until a new kernel comes.

(On a side note, your post did not include any statup.txt file, nor code! ;))
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] needo:
hahaha .. yes i forgot to attach it :D

attached now ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] needo:
At first sorry that i can't reply all your posts ,but i have read all of them ..

i'm really thankful for all of you ..

For the posts which were complaining from the battery drainage ,

as i said before it is depending on the kernal , if you feel that it is very high you can switch back to older kernal ..

, the new startup.txt may reserve some more battery for you ...

yes it is highly recommended to make a fresh installation ...

sure you can use titanium backup to save your files ..

i may make it one of the pre-installed apps ...

yes i can confirm that .. i told ygge & he will treat with this problem ..

sure it helps ..

,but it is really strange to see .. the error messages !!!

& slow benchmarking !!

i think there is something wrong .. i'm using the PureFroyo for 2 days .. there wasn't any problem or error .. !!

and neocore reach 18 fps & more ...

are you sure that you have removed the old ext2 partition & made a new one before making a new installation ..

i can confirm that the wifi is not stable ...

thanks

ok Ronnie , please reinstall it as it seems something went wrong .. as for me it is working for about more than 28 continous hours without any SOD or any other problem ..

Can anyone confirm Ronnie's issues .. ?!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
I haven't put on the new kernal, but I'm getting heaps of random reboots :( Like perhaps every hour.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] duckly:
Can those of you with extrememly high power drains give a bit more info on the usage. I would be very interested in the battery indicator pro usage report to hear what functions are draining the battery.

Test 1: Latest ygge kernel

ROM: PureFroyo

CPU clock speed: 614000

Startup option: pm.sleep_mode=1

Radio: 1.17

Wifi off

GPS off

2G/3G activated but test done in area with only 2G coverage

Duration: 20 hours

Usage: 19 hours standby, 1 hour voice call and a few SMS messages.

Power drained: From 100% to 58%

Battery indicator pro usage report:

87% Cellstandby

11% Voice

1% Phone not active

Had the mobile charged to 100% in winmo and then booted to purefroyo.

I know this is not a typical scenario, what fun is it to have an Android phone and not use any of the added features ;) Just wanted to test that the current ROM and kernel consumes very little power. It is not until the highly overclocked cpu is loaded and data downloaded over 3g that the battery runs out fast.

I am having dificulty reproducing the high usage reported, I really have make an effort to use more than 10-15% per hour downloading data on wireless or 3g, playing some games, surfing, high panel light etc.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] duckly:
The current ds2746 battery driver (name of the battery chip) has 4.2V as max and 3.3V at 5%, 3V should be 0%. It will stop charging at 100% and resume charging below 96%.

Not much is done with the data retrieved from the battery chip and reported directly back to Android. It could very well be that the power usage as reported from the battery chip need further correction to make the readings more precise.

I would be interesting to hear what you discover of the power consumption, if the usage is not linear. I have only made one test draining the battery down to 20% from 100%. Booting back in winmo also reported 20%.

Link to source code of the battery driver:

http://gitorious.com/~ast/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/alex-linux-xperia/blobs/htc-msm-2.6.27/drivers/power/ds2746_battery.c
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] duckly:
Hmm, I agree that something could be improved in the current battery driver, I booted back to winmo from 52% and winmo reported 40%. Going back to Android now show 34%.

Could it be that the usage is linear but the reported usage should be 20% higher? The formula could be changed to increase the reported usage to make it more precise, please let me know what you think?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sve1313:
Hello needo,

So, I have this problem running my android OS. The thing is that when I install it self reboots and starts Windows Mobile. After that i click haret the million text goes for 30 secs and then again the phone reboots. I don`t know if I am making something wrong, thats the reason why I ask you for help.!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] duckly:
Have found a "bug" in the battery driver which explains some of our odd readings. The values in ds2746_battery.c has been overridden by values in board_htckovsky.c.

The driver in our kernel runs with 4200 high voltage and 3600 as low voltage, this should have been 3300 and explain why the phone suddenly drop from 20-30% to 5% when battery reaches 3.6V. The other odd update is capacity, it has been increased from 1500 to 1660mAh.

I will change these back to 3300 as low voltage and 1500 capacity in the next kernel update, still working on the usb support.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ronniebiggs:
That is a GREAT find! I myself am too much of a linux noob to be able to find such things, but glad someone is pro enough :D

I still cannot tell you how the battery drainage behaves, but I doubt it is necessary to know when you change the things you found.

About what you said on the USB support. Are you referring to the latest kernel not being able to connect? (someone reported that before)

As I could connect with USB normally using the latest kernel. DroidExplorer could connect just fine!

Now I am still running the old kernel with keyboard fix in purefroyo, as for me the battery drainage is acceptable. The newer kernel did not last long enough for me and I had issues with SOD (but with the quickfix that should be gone)

But again back to your findings... GREAT, I'll keep an eye open for battery-fixed kernel :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] 85362:
Great, yesterday I reformated SD card with SDFormater 3.0 and reinstalled pureFroyo with latest kernal and startup.txt, It works great for 24hrs, no SOD and keyboard freeze.

known bugs: USB not work, Headset icon not shown, BT not paired, battery indicator need improved.

Thanks needo Ygge and duckly...

Not sure what I'm doing wrong?! Pure with latest kernal and startup.txt

I have a 4GB SD card formated to 2.8GB fat32, 1gb ext2 and 64 mb linux swap.

I'm still having lots of lockups and the keys are still not working for me at times!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] 85362:
My ext2 size is 480M and linux swap size is 96M or 99M, I was told fat32 size = total SD size - 580M, ext2 or linux native size = fat32 size -580M - 96M, linux swap size = 96M.

What is lockups and the keys ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] korokoro:
do you place the file in root of SD card..?

dont make any folder in root of your SD card..

just copy paste the file inside PureFroyo folder into your SD card..

and make a installation step from npkinstall once again..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sve1313:
Yes, of course i did everithing right. I had clicked installer in npkinstall, it installed correctly but after the reboot when i started haret.exe something went wrong I mean in the end of the million text it reads: haret panic_not syncing_cannot mount android - or smth like that. I don`t know i did everything right as it has to be done sooo if u have any ideas what could be the problem please respond to my question.

I'm currently setting up the device, installing my apps and what not.

I really hope battery is ok. Since you already fixed the deep-freeze, I guess that is one big issue gone. Will get it off of AC once I resetted it for the first time, also then I will see it's fluidity. On first boot I must say it does feel smooth already!

im testing blazin bulid. very good rom, seems to be more stable than purefroyo. i get key freeze one time, but as you said its kernel problem. angry birds lite runs ok, but animation is a bit laggy.

all what we need now its proper kernel. because more of current builds are similar now. similar speed and stability.

big thanks to Ygge for the best kernel so far, and Needo for best builds.

btw.

i found a new gingerbread build on chinese website [Android for X1] 【2011/2/22】 partition Edition Gingerbread2.3 Alpha-X1 to play the game http://www.darkforcesteam.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=29223&extra=page%3D1 its modded neopeeks 2nd alpha. with very good 3d performance, angry birds runs fast and smooth.

raw google translation (very raw:D):

Blessed shoes like to play the game, this version of gingerbread 2.3 can run 3D games perfectly. No Huaping, super-fast. Author overclocked to 700MHz, I had to change it to 652MHz, but the anger of the bird running smoothly, or unprecedented. Like children's shoes can be super exciting to 700MHz, have unexpected results.

First start slow, be patient, wait for the system to open all of the application, then restart to get the best performance.

The second time you start very fast, do not forget to enter the system after the open set "> show" cancel the automatic rotating screen

as when you run neocore you can see normal screen or it is only blank black screen ...

Btw if it is like that .. so you can see this build .. with this build i could play most of 3D games & played angry birds lite as smooth as my brother's iphone ..
