I just need a piece of information: does the newding app prevent the phone from restarting in any mode (sound/vibrate/sound+vibrate/silent)?
If it does, I may become again a daily tester.

jerrytan93, how about Xperia Ray keyboard? ;)

Just finish downloaded the dump files, will have a look for it.. no promise for successful porting yet as you all know I can only test my ROM once a week, so it will be a slow development..

If not mistaken.. YES.. ;)

ADB has always worked fine but only as long as screen is active :) or maybe I misinterpreted your assertion?

you interpreted right;) is mass storage also working for you? and are you using the adb from Xperiod+fastboot folder or an sdk adb? it drives me insane that i can't find what am i doing wrong:mad:

Please stop making 2.3.7 roms. ))) They become too unstable once i install all needed software. Really annoying))).
I am using 2.3.5 nand for two months now, I got less reboots in two months than on 2.3.7 rom in two hours.

And if you feel obliged to making 2.3.7 please tell me how to install "newding" on 2.3.5 :) thanks a lot.

did you already try just to take the Newding.apk from v2.zip in data/app and install it to your 2.3.5?

btw in 2 hours i got no reboot at all with 2.3.7

btw2 is usb mass storage working for you in 2.3.5?

just wanted to say thanks by clicking it instead of quote ;)

It is in chinese :(. No problem installing, but no way to configure it to intercept incoming calls.
Mass storage does not work. You can use two options:
1.Adb explorer sw, just a shell that alows you to copy files to your phone using adb commands.
2. Mass storage in cwm - it works.

My phone had a very big problem waking up after I restored 24 used apps. It hung up when the screen went off. It had problems waking up after reboot. The screen did not even light up on incoming call))).

The only way to hang the phone in 2.3.5 is put it to sleep very fast 5 times in a row with wifi turned on. And missed call obv).

after disabling the screen-off animation for the display in cmsettings (causes the waking up issue) the phone wakes up perfectly even after restoring my approx 25 apps like you maybe you forgot to turn that option off? with enabled the phone is nearly unusable

Hello,

Could somebody post some photos taken by android camera, please? I've never thought before that it is possible to successfully port the driver. I've tried only one or two android roms one and a half year ago, but they were laggy and used to freeze.

Thanks,

Cheers,
taarzaan

ADB works fine from sdk-installation. I usually (in Windows) copy Adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll from sdkinstallation to system32-folder just to be able to start adb from anywhere. That enable me to open the command-promt by navigating to my app-folder with all the .apks', press and hold SHIFT while right-click and choose "open command promt here"). As simple as that :)

As I mentioned. Adb works only as long the screen is active. As soon as it goes out, I have to unplug/plug cable again.

Haven't been able to get mass storage to work. Either from cwm or mounting within Android.

Battery improvments again : better support of low voltage (and low power correspond now to 15%), prevent indicator from going lower than 15% when voltage is still correct.
EDIT : !!!!!!! DO NOT USE !!!! After some days, problems appears. Switch back to previous ge8a16dd

Thanks for reporting.. if you wanted to change back old kernel just simply open the zip file and replace boot.img with the older kernel boot.img.. after that flash the Rom and you are done.. ;)

    - Ice cream sandwich bootanimation
    - init.d script support
    - Added Nano text editor, Bash shell
    - Further tweaks by using init.d scripts
    - 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:

    - CLICK the Thanks Button

    - RATE THIS BUILD

    - BUY ME A COFFEE

    IceDroid V5

    - 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.

    Original Browser --> Opera Mobile 12 (faster web browsing)

    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 ! :)
