It'd be great if someone who has installed this posted a video using this system.

You know, navigating the main screen, settings, and opening a couple of apps to see how does it perform.

I am currently at 700km away from home, but as I saw the progress of this "project" I decided to get back in testing a.s.a. I get home (that being on Sunday), and I will also make a video with the roms and I hope it will be as good as the tutorial.
I am glad to be back in this

Format SD from Linux

Hi,
If, like me, you do not have a Window computer, you can format your sd card with 512-byte bloc size with mkdosfs utils :
mkdosfs -I -S 512 /dev/sde
If device is sde. You can chek it for exemple with : dmesg | grep sd.*logical
[191235.004450] sd 58:0:0:2: [sde] 1984000 512-byte logical blocks: (1.01 GB/968 MiB)
The last line is the last card you inserted.
Hope it may help.

Hi everyone.
I want to thank you, firstlly for the help that you gave me, to flash a greek ROM on my WM 6.1 (long time ago) , and the keyboard remaper for the greek keyboard.
Secondly for that HYPER-ROM.
So i give the feedback from mine.
a) Wi Fi works, says the signal is bad, but connects, even if I am close to the rooter, even if I am away,so far away that with Windows Mobile didn't have any connection.
Also I noticed that the Wi Fi disconnects and getting lazy to connect to the same network. I turn WiFi off, and then on and everything is fine.
b)Battery consumption is logical, with my Gold "2430 MAh" battery i run everything on, fow 30-35 hours. So all of you, don't blame android, time to change your battery.
Although on WM 6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell it runs 5-8 days... :S
c)No SD card problems...
d) I can't put as a ringtone my mp3... Do you suggest any other file manager that does it ?
e) Bluetooth fine !!!
f) Typing a message with Xperia's keyboard is a problem as, I don't know how to cahnge typing in greek.
g)No video image on youtube application...
h)So far I can't find a good autonomous navigation programm... Any suggestions ?
i) Internet browsing speed is slower than a turttle...

In general, I am very happy with that, despite the bugs etc. because it's good to know that if you have will and knoledge, you can do miracles.

So I thank everyone involved in the development of this.

Greetings from Greece.

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!

You guys are awesome and supportive!

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 !

Sadly, jerry said it won't be a next version... But I hope Coolrunner and Elibl will do something to finish with the development

Easy Tether working in Icedroid v8

To whom it could take interest,

On this marvellous rom, WifiTether doesn't work but instead we can use EasyTetherPro without problems.

Many thanks to jerrytan93 and Zargloub and CoolrunnerII, great work.

Best.

Hi folks,

I've noticed that in the "build.prop" file there are two same command lines with different values:

Code:

ro.telephony.default_network=0
ro.telephony.default_network=1

I've removed the "ro.telephony.default_network=1" because is better having UMTS by default to save battery. After this change the mobile signal has enhanced a lot.

On the other hand, I've replaced the wpa-supplicant file from coolrunnerII rom to IceDroid and the wifi seems to works better.

Also, I saw that some tweaks in the init.d are duplicated so I've tryed to clean it a bit.

Also, as the I/O scheduler is settled in deadline mode, if you use SetCPU choose always this option to avoid overheat the battery.

Best.

first thanks for your effort

awesome! just to be sure you left it set to 0?

good thing i also already noticed the duplications there but hadn't the time to sort out. would you share your work with us for the github repo?

all the best

Hello everyone,

and first of all a big "thank you" to jerrytan93 for his dedicated work. It's unfortunate that he will not continue developing IceDroid, but I fully understand his decision. Best of luck to you, man.

I did my first ever Android flash to my Xperia X1 today. Previous experiences in custom ROMs were only made using WM 6.5.3 ("XKan's ROM V4") and the ghastly stock ROM from 2009.

I have to say that IceDroid V8 runs pretty stable on the X1. Performance is not very snappy, but that had to be expected from a three year old device. In any ways it is an improvement over anything like WM 6.x, and the access to the Google Market opens up a whole new world of opportunity (although the joy this is somewhat diminished by the phone's small internal memory and the restrictions in the market).

Most of the functionality is there, I give credit for that. A lot of the things that do not (yet) work have already been mentioned in previous posts, but I will put my list here anyway:

(Boot with SD card not working, have yet to check the reformatting approach)
GPS not working
WLAN signal strength indicator in the status bar always shows only 1 bar
WLAN disconnects because of unknown reasons/circumstances. Does not reconnect. Turning WLAN on/off results in reconnect
USB mass storage connectivity not working. Device recognized by PC ("bong"), but no entry in explorer
Camera focus not working

I have not yet had the chance to test GSM/voice/3G/HSPA/WLAN tethering because my SIM is in another device. Will get back to that in the next days.

Please let me know if I can test anything for you developers, the X1 is my secondary (or rather tertiary) phone. I was close to throwing it away when I noticed the Android development

.

Best regards,
Smoover

So, what are the differences in stability between NAND and EXT? Just wondering.

I think that an ext rom provides more battery drain but better system performance. The ext roms kernels can't manage the camera but can use 642200mhz as default max. frequency.

From my point of view a Froyo 2.2 is better OS for our xperia than a GB 2.3, but all developers have never stand with a froyo-nand-rom, they've gave it up and they've always tried to build GB nand-roms.

Anyway both sort of roms are not perfect, but we have to be grateful for the effort made by the developers and themers.

The actual nand roms are in the good way thanks to zargloub, jerrytan93, elibl and coolrunnerII. But we are in the hands of coolrunnerII because he (or she) is the only one working on xperia x1 kernel nowadays.

You can try the last GBX0C ext rom (Midnight's ported) or another jerrytan93 ext roms to compare.

My favorite ext rom is TwizDroid (take care with the freeze key problem).

Best.
