jerry you can test WiFi teter only if you have data plan... i dont think they support wifi to wifi teter... i try test tmr...

thats all i did with the sd card... using sandisk 8gb sd hc class 6 i think...

edit:eek:h yes i forgot... i dl some task killers and since then calls were not able to be answered (yes i know im dumb to kill newding too) sooo... is it we have to keep newding as an exception or, other than newding there is a service we cant close either?

V7 updated! :)

Please help me to test WiFi performance (are they faster now?) and also WiFi tether (I don't know how to test it.. :p)

wifi seems faster but still also crashes very fast for example when you connect wifi and immediately use the connection it always crashes but that's as already before so it improved by speed

for tethering: setting ad-hoc mode... and enabling NAT rules... fails

Also 'droidwall' doesn't work. I think iptables needs to be included or something similar.
Trying now to see if leaving wifi on causes my device to get hot and screen of death!

EDIT:
hot battery SOB with WIFI left on still happens

for NAT rules you must do modprobe first,

but for ad-hoc i still don`t know how to made it enable,i stuck in there,,

NEVER kill Newding.. I think this will solve some user problem with answering call


for NAT rules you must do modprobe first,

but for ad-hoc i still don`t know how to made it enable,i stuck in there,,

you will need some specific module in kernel.. but I don't know which one

Welcome.
Is it only in my WiFi signal indication not working? All the time shows one bar. The same thing I had in V6 and V7 now.

Hey Jerrytan!
I Just came here to tell you that this build is waiting you to port on X1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557091

lol.

Also thank you for all the good builds you bring us since EXT2 Sensedroid and Arcdroid =D

Also

That might be interesting, but priority is a stable base for daily use, after that you can slow down the reached performance with the graphic hungry stuff :)

This really looks interesting.. lets see what can I do with these mods while trying to not letting these to affect my ROM performance.. ;)

Only two things:

1. Wifi-Tether doesn't work neither Krokus' method nor any other.

2. You can run the xperia with any SD if you set it just after LKBootloader begin to load and just before Android Kernel is loaded. So the SD boot problem is caused by LKBootloader and not because of the android kernel.

PD: Please, mend the wifi-tether problem.

Best.

I recently tried to flash every lkbootloader I found.

The pooploader.nbh on my Hard Drive:
I made task29 and flashed the nbh file, than flashed recovery.img (cyan fontcolor), installed the CM7 ROM by neopeek and booting via SD card is still working like before.

This one from sp3dev (alex) post.
I made task29 and flashed the nbh file, than flashed recovery.img (green fontcolor), installed the CM7 ROM by neopeek and did not boot because of missing/invalid boot.img and I don't want to download it...)

So I think it is not depending on LKBootloader. I tested it because I thought maybe these peole who have a working boot with sd card have flashed a different lkbootloader.

EDIT: I forgot to try the one from the replace Winmo with Android NAND thread.
I did the same as above and even after installing CM7 by neopeek it is booting with SD card.

So the problem is SD card related or X1 model related. Maybe posting Model Nr. or something like that to identify which exact type you have. And if it is working or not.

I did that only for you guys and risked that it doesn't boot with sd card after doing these steps ;)

jerry I want to to thank you for the amazing build you made for us, everything and Wi-Fi is working perfectly with V7!

But I got one question.. When I installed your IceDroid V6 I was able to shutdown apps by holding down the "OK" button. I just held it for a second and the whole app get killed. But now, after updating to V7 I'm able to kill apps only with Task Killer because holding down "OK" button is not working, now I can just tap the "OK" button and minimize those applications. I'm dissapointed about this.. Any ideas?

I've tried with 3 different Sandisk SD (2Gb, 4Gb and 8Gb) formatted in FAT32.

I just power on without SD, then when LKbootloader begin to load I put the SD and Android load without problem. You only have to do that ones. LKbootloader changes something in the SD that let it boot the system without problems.

Dear friends,

How can I do a full charge of the battery before install the rom?

When I try to plug to the AC (with the mobile power off), it automatically power on so I can't charge the mobile with no rom installed.

Exactly when does the LKBootloader start? Is that AFTER the green text and the white text?

    - Zipaligned with latest SDK to optimize RAM usage
    - Added data/app function to install user apps separately
    - All apps are up to date as the time of ROM updated


    *Notes / Tips:

    - Since I was using Zargloub's kernel, some problems/ bugs are kernel related so I can't do anything with it.

    Kernel related bugs:
    - Unable to boot if SD card inserted [FIX HERE]
    - WiFi unable to connect WEP protected network
    - Hardware acceleration (That's why you can't play HQ video)
    - Maybe more..

    - Open 'Auto Mount' app and tick 'Enable SD card Auto-Mounting'

    - When first boot into Android, choose 'Default Activity' instead of 'Setup Wizard' to prevent FC

    - Go to Settings -> Display and untick "auto rotate screen" to avoid wrong screen orientation

    - Go to Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Display -> UNTICK 'screen-off animation' and everything EXCEPT 0° & 90°

    - Go to Settings -> Display -> Animation -> select 'Some animations' or 'No animation', you will get faster phone response

    - Go to Spare Parts -> Window animations -> select 'Fast' or 'Off' to get faster opening speed

    - If experiencing Wifi problem (unable to connect) try to change your router Wifi settings to WPA/WPA2, WEP WILL NOT WORK

    - GAPPS had already included in this build, so no need to flash the zip separately

    - GAPPS like Market will NOT showing out if you din't sign in to Google

    - You have to remove your SD card before booting NAND or else you will STUCK at the linux screen

    - System will be slower when first time boot into Android:
    ==> Open all apps, sync your phone with Google, then reboot your phone
    ==> Install 'Advanced Task Killer' or 'RAM Optimizer' from Market to free your RAM after heavy usage

    - Go to Theme Chooser and apply ICS theme to enable ICS style effect


    Battery Saving Tips:

    - Charge your battery until 100% before installing the build, after that go to recovery and 'wipe battery stats' and then install the build.. this will give you better battery performance and calibration

    - Close your WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Data Plan and disable 'Auto Sync' in Account Settings.. with all these steps you can save MORE battery

    - Disable 'Auto brightness' in display settings and select your own brightness

    - Use any CPU scaling apps or directly from Cyanogen options in Settings to adjust your CPU Max and Min frequency


    *Huge Thanks to:

    - CyanogenMod
    - SP3DEV
    - Zargloub
    - Dsixda
    - RockoDev


    *WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU APPRECIATE MY WORK:

    IceDroid V5

    - Updated Beats lib files.. more powerful bass!!
    - Added new keyboard from Xperia device
    **Experimental because the keyboard is for ldpi screen device so the layout was a little bit smaller on screen, but it's working perfectly

    - Optimized RAM memory, highest free RAM achieved on first boot 93MB!!
    - Better battery life because the processor does not need to load so much heavy proccess from apps.

    Tips:

    For those who wants more RAM, search Market for "Auto Killer Memory Optimizer" and "Advanced Task Killer" and install these two apps


    Work In Progress :

    - USB Storage will stop working in second boot after first time successful connected, means that USB storage will only work ONCE

    - I had contacted Zargloub and discuss the problem with him. Zargloub told me that it's NOT kernel problem, however he can't see any critical errors in logcat so we can't locate the problem. I know we can change the system/bin/vold file and also etc/vold.fstab file to make the USB work,
    so this will be a workaround and need some time to find a working bin file


    6/3/12

    Mod + Download Section:

    Full Wipe Script
    Introducing Full Wipe Script for Xperia X1 NAND, originally idea from Sensation forum and mod by jerrytan93 (ME!!).. :D

    The script was packed in a zip file and using updater-script to perform data wiping. Simply go to recovery and choose 'install zip from sd card' and then flash the zip


    What will the script do for you:

    - Remove old system files from older ROM
    - Remove old data files from older ROM
    - Remove old system created folders located in SD card, but it will NEVER format your SD card.. ;)


    Advantages of using this script:

    - Save your time, no need to wipe each partition one by one
    - FULLY CLEAN all the partitions so that you will get a CLEAN ROM installation (less bugs that caused by old files)


    Important Notes:

    - Since the script will format your data partition, means that you will lost ALL your user data like Apps, configured settings, account settings.. same meaning as 'Factory Reset'

    - This script is encouraged for those user who was having some 'weird issue' that did not happened on other users (including me)

    - If you want to keep your user data while cleaning all your phone's partition, you can choose to backup your ROM before applying the script, after that use 'Advance Restore' in Recovery to restore your data partition ONLY

    I finally got some time to play around and make my sdcard also bootable this is the way i made it:
    (I hope this is finally the way that works for everyone with every card)

    caution: backup your sdcard or you will lose content

    thank to Elibl about MBR

    I think i found a way to temporarily solve the problem boot with sdcard

    first backup your sdcard data after that download my file , and extract

    1) open iBored as Admin

    2) choose your sdcard (often is physicaldrive1)

    Noted : physicaldrive0 often is hard drive , don't mistake

    3) Disk -> view structure (or ctrl + d)

    4) choose disk1

    5) Disk -> Write File to Blocks...
    6) Choose BootwSD.dat (together with ibored)
    7) program show a windows, choose yes (don't fix anything) ,and yes

    8) sdcard needs now to be formatted normally

    it worked for me every time immediately

    it's somehow logic as it then writes the file to the very beginning of the sdcard which is the section which is also checked by HDHacker

    again iBored as attachment

    huge thanks to BrickPSP

    My final development post

    Alright so I'm sorry to announce that I'm leaving this project officially, however if someone are interested to continue this project, here's some info from Zargloub which you may want to fix if possible

    zargloub said:
    Hi,
    I'm coming back from hollidays.
    Having a quick look at your page "IceDroid".
    The video playing HW acceleration is done by dsp. kernel is not concerned.
    External libraries are used to give android access to dsp processor (somewhere like in /system/lib/dsp/*.so ).
    When he needs, Android checks if libraries for playing a type of video is presend (for exemple H.264, mpeg4, 720P), if yes, library is used, otherwise, if possible, he uses software rendering. You should check if dsp libraries are available for qualcom.
    For the wifi problems, i'll have a look soon .. lot of work when coming back at the office.
    about boot with sd card, if you have some time, it would be interesting to check removing all services in init.rc and init.kovsky.rc (axcept console one, to access with adb ;) ) and check if it allways block.
    Have fun ...

    For those advance user like CoolrunnerII and Elibl you can contact zargloub for further discussion, I believe in one day you all will achieve FIRST FULLY WORKING NAND ROM FOR XPERIA X1.. :)

    Finally, I will leave Xperia X1 development now and continue my Android journey to HTC Sensation as a themer.. happy to say that this place had let me learned many things about Android ( this is my first device running Android and the place I started to be a dev ), and meet some nice guys too! :D You guys are awesome and supportive! :D

    I will not replying any more PM about IceDroid and my other CWM project.. for newcomer if you are looking for help / support / tips you can contact those advance user as I stated above.. I'm sure they are always ready to help you. ;)

    Have a nice day and GOOD BYE ! :)
