Hi,
I wanted to know if there is any way to run a different OS on this phone that supports all of the hardware.
I love the specs of this phone - and the form factor, however, it doesn't matter which ROM I use, the phone is just so unbearably slow. Even with the light ROMs.
I simply hate Windows Mobile. The processor is not that slow - it should be able to do plenty - but everything takes 3 seconds at least to open. I've missed an inordinate number of phone calls just because the stupid send button takes 10 seconds to respond.
Is there any option at all to forgo a WM ROM and use a different OS entirely?
How can I take advantage of the amazing hardware - but not be dragged down by the software?
HELP!
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try flashing stock then ROM, changing Hard-SPL.. etc.
Never had problem with slow OS unless the ROM is an issue to which is very uncommon..
If it really takes 10 seconds to get the phone to answer a call...
One thing to check is memory -- Do you have a lot of stuff in your calls list or MMS texts? Clear them out.
Which ROMS have you tried? Any 6.1 or 6.5s?
There is no other usable OS now -- Android is getting close but it won't work with all the phone's components

The last ROM I flashed that's exactly what I did - I flashed to a stack ROM - changed the Hard SPL.
The ROM I love - Shifu did a phenomenal job - but after a while - everything just begins to lag...and it's not just this ROM - it's every ROM. After a few weeks - everything just starts to miss a beat and then slowly unravel.
I'm surprised that you've never had any problems with the OS - the consensus is that WM is a generally slow OS - I just thought maybe there's a way to take advantage of the great hardware in the phone without having to use this OS.
Thanks for the advice though.
If you have any other suggestions - they would be much appreciated.

Maybe not 10 seconds - but I have missed plenty of calls because the phone was completely unresponsive.
I do have a LOT of SMS' - maybe that's it. I just flashed to a new ROM (jjblaster3's 6.5) - it's great for now. I hope it stays that way. But they all start off great...you start installing a few programs and then nothing moves.
Thanks for the SMS/call history advice - I'll start clearing out now.
Anything else you can think of would be great.
I went through similar problems. Currently I am using the ROM "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428261". This was the best ROM that I tested for my Kaiser.
I was not very fan of windows mobile too, because that i installed android at sdcard and recently found a very good application "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792" to streamline the boot process for the android, without having to wait for the windows mobile start and then boot the android. Android is fantastic, but as has already been said not everything works. The GPS and camera are the major problems yet.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice - I'm not going to head down the Android route yet...but I will check out the ROM you suggested. Have you tried any 6.5 ROMs you liked? I'm running jjblaster3 6.5 v2 right now.
Well personally, I like the STAXXX STYLE ROMs...they are 6.5.3...and VERY fast in my opinion.
ROM Suggestions
Thanks for the suggestion, any ROM recommendations would be much appreciated, here is what I'm looking for:
1) A fast ROM
2) No bugs with common things like text messages, bluetooth, WiFi, Internet
3) Good battery life
4) And if possible - 6.5 - but not mandatory
I know a LOT of hard work goes into cooking the ROMs, so I'm not complaining - but I've found that there are always small bugs that are real deal breakers for me.
I've tried:
1) AthineOS Manila Edition
Text issues, backlight issues
2) Shifu (3.2)
Text issues, screen rotation issues, wifi issues, phone got stuck a lot towards the end (had to soft reset twice a day at times)
3) Jjblaster3 v2
Battery life (very poor - need to charge twice a day) - because there is no easy way to switch between 3G and GPRS (any quick fix for this?)

I have actually already downloaded that one - so as soon as my battery is more than 50% - I'll flash.
Thanks!
Do you know of anything to look out for bug-wise?

Installing as I type! Can't wait the original kernel to get the battery related patches!
I am having a wired problem - after a while on standby, upon waking up the phone, it freezes. Clock doesn't advance and phone does not respond on buttons/slider. So I do a soft-reset after which in winmo I get a message sdcard is not formatted, do I want to format it. and indeed file system is damaged. And this happens for a second time in a row now! I havent had problems like that with other distributions, at least ones that require ext2 partition. Anyone have advice?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
well, i cant charge
So far, it's perfect. Two issues that need to be resolved before I use it permanently is the charging and the battery drain.
Getting really close!

Ok so far so good! BUT: Would you provide us a lil bit of more info!
Which kernel did you use? Included one (=21/8) or that from SuperFroyo??

Sorry, was in a bit of a rush
Working: Marketplace, WiFi, GPS, battery meter, sound, messaging, gmail app, browser, ( bluetooth, I think )
Not: Camera, charging, power management
Used: Only the included files, nothing more.
May anyone please test this kernel?
Test-Kernel
I am awaiting your feedback
Hey guys, my Galaxy S should arrive tomorrow.
@all Developers:
Thank you very much for the good work, keep it up
@the rest:
I wish you good luck, that you can enjoy android on your X1 as i will do it on my new phone.
Maybe i'll look back in here from time to time, to see the progress.
Best regards from germany
See ya!
report?
Total performance is smooth
My location , Wi-Fi, Market , Battery Meter , GMail, Sound, Music is working
other function. i didn't use it.
Overall performance is good, but Force Close dialog is too much show..... when i try to do anything. there's a delay (about 5~10sec?)
All of you guys should really post which kernel you are using. It will be very helpful for the developers!
I am downloading at the moment, will try the kernels and post the results
Original kernel + points about FroyoRedux:
- Charging works (I had it plugged when I launched Android, actually does increase WM battery percentage, too)
- Battery meter shows too much, but I think it will calibrate itself if I finish charging
- Speaker bug is there, headphone plug and unplug fixes that
- A bit faster than CyanogenMod6 with Tremere's kernel
- Nice theme
- Mass storage does not work (should I install a driver or something?)
- Sometimes stops responding to any other key than the top power button = home
- 3D does not work
- Sound and calling work fine, cannot adjust in-call volume (possibly due to the keys not working, but I had this problem with CM6+Trem too)
- Pretty much every app works, YOUTUBE TOO (lags a bit, but works)!
New testkernel:
- Phone reboots when first screen of android comes up
- I just replaced files, it crashed at lockscreen
- Ran a new installation, it crashed at black android system (title) -window
SuperFroyo kernel:
- Fastest one, menu scrolling is pretty nice with this kernel
- 3D does not work, Neocore crashes
- Sound works
- Youtube works, and lags less than with original kernel
- Charging does not work, battery meter shows what comes to it's mind

Tried copy/paste of those two files straight into root of SD-card (can only guess as it's not written anywhere). Phone reboots as soon as it comes to PIN-code page. Tried to restart a couple of times but nope.
Tried the SuperFroyo-kernel as well. Much faster in comparison to kernel from tremere's build 21/8.
Else, nothing more to add other then lkoljo wrote.
Big thx!
tried this kernel
xperia-xdandroid-kernel-20100922
Sound didn't work??
I'm useing the test kernel now, and it booted up without any problems
Gonna test Battery life for 2 hours, then switch back to vm to see if it gives good result's
Did you use the test-kernel from scratch. I mean when first booting up? or did you try first included kernel then after booting up you replaced kernel? I ask this because it's just not clear for me: You say it works w/o hassle and others report that they can't even get into the Launcher or that they have a black screen. I am just confused now
I did first use Tremere's Kernel with your build, and then i just copied the test kernel start from vm and booted it up. It's fast and stable it seems, i did use Android in standby mode for one and half hour. Well i did look around in system meny and such tried calling it but no signal just vibrate wich i did turn on. Battery used in android is 20% from fully charged 100% Switch back to vm says 78% so the meter seems almost correct. Tried original charger but it didn't work, Then tried pc usb charging and it seems to work Gonna try Xdandroid's new kernel now released today. Will get back to you tomorrow
I have now tested the new Xdandroid kernel released 23/9/10 for one and half hour now, switched back to vm and guess what?
i had 100% when i started android, used it for one and a half hour and then i switched back to vm it had only used 9% battery
Thats the best result i ever had using android, so hey if only sound/ mic problem gets fixed then this would be great
Grab the new kernel from thier Xdandroid wiki
I have tested 21/09/2010 [Xperia X1][FroyoRedux-Port][CM6] with the latest kernel from xdandroid (23/9/10) and it works very well, stable and fast. And the battery is a big improvment!!
I also overclocked it to 640mhz and the UI is then superfast.
Keep up the good work

you use zimage to?
FYI: In the next days there will be heavy updates regarding some of my builds. Fixed almost everything I could! Just trying out today some of the kernels released lately and then I think we will have a really really good CM6-Ports ready for all of you! Everything that's working in XDAndroid "Final" should then also work for us! So maybe I will call my builds "Pre-Final". Another thing that I should mention is that user ferlanero from xda-devs has today shipped over his X1 from Spain to Germany (my location). Once I receive it I will be going to try some NAND-related stuff!
X1 from user sequester will be my porting-device to test ports and latest nightlies from Cyanogen
X1 from user ferlanero will be my nand-test-device
Be prepared to get the proposed updates (see above) on this weekend. Again speical thanx to sequester and ferlanero for supporting me! This really motivates me in doing all this stuff!
Yes zimage to at lest i did

Yes, there is a way... You could step into development to make a better driver.

Yes there is a way:
1. battery problem - find cause of the battery drain in the linux kernel and fix it
2. Slow system - buy a new device or solder in new processor.
3. Unstable - this is a port. Ports are usually not yet very stable. Wait or join development.
4. dysfunction - join development and develop missing functions
jeez i just don't get it. How can someone ask such questions?

I've had good luck running android stable on my X1 using:
- Neopeek's FRG83
- seandean's kernel v2e from here
- 3D from libGLES_qcom.so. 11.29.10.zip and gralloc.msm7k.so.11.30.10.zip from here
- Gscript Lite & Autostart (root) (from android market) + this script
- Radio version 1.14.25.55 & "only" 595MHz overclock.
The good:
- Stable. No deep sleep crashes, phone is as cool running android as wm.
- Decent battery usage until ~50%
- ~64 hours uptime and counting
- 3D works just fine, if a little slow (neocore gets 16FPS)
- Haven't had to reload keyboard modules yet (but I know the keyboard will hang eventually, hence Gscript to be prepared)
- Wi-fi and 3G data working
- Market works
- ADB works (actually using my underpowered X1 for android application development. if I can get an app working decently on the X1, it will absolutely fly on regular android devices)
The not-so-good-but-not-showstoppers:
- No camera. Not missing it all that much, but the LED would be useful
- Occasionally you need to toggle speakerphone when receiving a call to have sound.
- Wi-Fi is quite unstable and tends to disconnect/reconnect unexpectedly
- A few ``Process X not responding'' messages in various applications (ie no pattern). Choosing wait almost always works however.
In all, I can say it is perfectly usable and there are some very talented people working on stuff that needs fixing.
Be patient.
I was about to give up on android on the X1 too but somehow this combination works very well.
Hi all!
After being for a long time a neopeek.com thread only,i've choosen to post the kernel here too..
Please note that i'm using codesourcery's toolchain 9-2010
If the kernel fails at booting
Please check this startup and this haret
Please change
Code:
set INITRD_OFFSET 0xSOMETHING
to
Code:
set INITRD_OFFSET 0xA00000
in startup.txt
If you don't have the line in startup,add it,it must be anywhere before "boot"

well, I've tested your V10 Rom with an EXT2 rom which is SenseDroid V9 and it's amazing
but two issues:
1. Wifi doesn't seem to work for some reason even when turned on in winmo
2. There is this weird sound that comes from the speaker every few seconds
Other than that ... The kernel is great and fast and I love it ...
I hope I have helped and I'm sorry I'm new to all of this and I'm trying to learn as much as I can ... I hope I don't bother you with my questions and reports
Hello Midnight,
nice to see this kind of topic here, I think many X1 users didn't find it at neopeek's site in Blackstone, Topaz (etc) section. Hope you will get better X1 feedback here.
I've tested V9 and V10 kernels on Jerrytan's Honeydroid with EXT3. I think both have slightly higher battery consumption than old Ygge's Turbo kernel.
Battery reading is still in both kernels literally "jumping" around the right value and it is changing several times per minute. But in V10 it seems a little bit better.
And as it was already said there is a strange sound comming from phone speaker in V10, when phone network is used, like when you put phone near some speaker.
I didn't tested wifi.
Thanks for your work and good luck in further development.

Is the speaker bug present with xdandroid kernels?
Wi-fi worked with V9,so something is wrong build side..
I dunno about the Xdandroid kernel as I have never used it ... I just downloaded the files and over wrote them on a Turbo kernel and changed the start-up file to yours ...
The speaker just does a sound close to the one when u put ur phone next to the speakers like it was said ... but it's coming from the speaker of the phone itself ...
Well, I'm gonna wait for Jerrytan's new EXT3 Rom ... hopefully this week and I'll further test your kernel and give u more feedback ... thanks for your efforts
I've never used xdandroid kernels too. But the speaker sound is messy only in V10, in my case V9 was fine in this matter.
And I forgot to mention that the phone speaker is always on...
WOW!!!Tnx dear Midnight for this awesome release.........
I'll replace it with V9 ASAP
and one question.....randomly,when I press my X1's power button to check the clock or sth,My device screen get back and it dies,I forced to reset my device by pressing the reset key to make this issue solved..........
Is it solved in this Kernel??

I've not seen any SODs recently..
I don't know if this helps, but:
The sound is active when data connection (EDGE/GPRS) is used. It stops right after a phone call and the speaker is off for a while. But it starts again after a while, maybe 2-3 minutes and the speaker is on again.
I don't know if this is kernel related, but i can't recieve mms messages. The truth is, that I didn't test this with other kernels cause I don't usually use MMS.
I've also tried V9 ... the hizzing sound is less frequent but it's always on when I'm using internet mobile as mentioned before ... V9 is very fast and stable. with an EXT3 rom it was working amazing ... I think it uses a bit more battery than the Turbo kernel but with the option to charge from Android itself ... I don't mind that as I mostly carry a charger around if I'm going out for long ...
also, there's a second of black screen after you press the power button ... the hizzing sounds stops once the screen is off ...
The other only problem I see so far the battery meter but u are already working on that in V10 ... Thanks so much for the great efforts

V9 is very fast and stable. with an EXT3 rom it was working amazing ... I think it uses a bit more battery than the Turbo kernel but with the option to charge from Android itself ... I don't mind that as I mostly carry a charger around if I'm going out for long ...
also, there's a second of black screen after you press the power button ... the hizzing sounds stops once the screen is off ...
The other only problem I see so far the battery meter but u are already working on that in V10 ... Thanks so much for the great efforts

Hey dear friend,tnx for ur reports....
But I hear hizzing when I'm not using internet too!!
I have pressed the power button several time to sleep and wake up my device to check the hizzing....no changes!
I say tnx dear Midnight again
super fast and stable.....But the battery drains so fast for me,maybe 5 6 hours(in less uses than normal use)
speaker hizzing,and still I have to turn speaker on for incoming call to hear my friend voice[I don't know how this issue is solved for somebodies]
frybend said:
I don't know if this helps, but:
The sound is active when data connection (EDGE/GPRS) is used. It stops right after a phone call and the speaker is off for a while. But it starts again after a while, maybe 2-3 minutes and the speaker is on again.
I don't know if this is kernel related, but i can't recieve mms messages. The truth is, that I didn't test this with other kernels cause I don't usually use MMS.

I don't have data connection,so i can't test this..
I can't see why this bug is present..
about battery drain,uhm..,trying to fix it..
I get an incoming call....that was OK....strange..
seems that it sometime happens.....
tnx Mr boss
Thanks so much for replying ... I hope all these issues I report don't bother you ... I'm just trying to help improve this kernel
another issue I realized is that sometimes when the screen sleep for about an hour, it doesn't seem to wake up and when I slide the keyboard I see the lights when means it's working but the screen never wakes up ... is there a way to solve this? this testing with an EXT3 rom and V9 of your kernel

Panel collapse doesn't work as it should,and i guess that the CPU throttling isn't working well either
Can anyone tell me if this battery life is nice?
15 seconds of Wi-Fi,1 hour of games,3 or 4 10 minutes calls,30 texts made the battery go from more or less 80(Can't remember the exact value from wm) to 50 in android in 4 hours?
EDIT:Can anyone with the speaker bug provide me dmesg and logcat when you hear that sound?
I recharge my phone after about 7 hours[78% to 20% and then It got off]
that was not bad for an android ROM for me,But u lost just 30% for 4 hours of hard working :-o ......I mean gaming and voice calling and texting....But my phone was just in standby and I seldom used it.......maybe about 30Mins
well, this battery usage sounds good ... 4 hours with using the phone and 30% only sounds good ... this means the phone can last for about 12 hours when fully charged ... but could u please test it with more wifi usage as this will test the battery more as u know how android likes to be connected to the internet all the time whether wifi or 3G ... but 1 hour of games should also test the battery ... so, I guess that sounds good ... great job man
about the dmesg and logcat ... I hope someone with experience can help with that ... perhaps we will get more feedback when Jerrytan tests it or makes his SenseDroid an EXT3 Rom, cuz many people use that Rom which will provide more testing for the kernel ... I probably can't help cuz I don't even know what these mean, let alone get them I'm sorry ... also, I'm gonna be using winmo more for the time being with an old EXT2 Rom sometimes as I have too much studying to do ... so, I wish I can help, I'm sorry ...
but in 3 weeks time, I'll be done and hopefully do my best to help with everything ... Thanks so much for the great efforts

I don't have 3G,wifi still uses a lot of battery,I don't think it will last more than 2h with wifi on..
I'm going to upload the kernel..
my wifi was off today,except that for 10 mins that I would check something on internet........
BTW,If my wifi be turn on and I don't use it[just it be connected to my modem]it will drain my battery so fast??
u meant a new kernel,ha?
General questions about ICS working on our Streaks.
My first: i cant go to the fly mode whithout a crash rebooting. How we can solve it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick review:
1. Fly mode brings into crash -> Dont worry! Simply restart and dont power off this mode, it saves your battery a little
2. No 2g/3g radios -> We are sorry
3. I dont need useless SMS/MMS stuff -> You can uninstall it, but dont uninstall the phone.apk and telephony.apk
4. I have flickering screen at low brightness value -> [Only one way is to change it to a different level] UPDATE: use ScreenDim
5. Floating charge of battery -> ?
6. Games dont work! -> tegra2 drivers not exists
Don't do it.

That is the funniest answer ever!!!
2G Radio / Network
Can enable this function 2G in ICS for better Battery ? ... and future support ICS make voice calls ?

do you have ICS ?
its work fine?
not problem?

Yeah, all works fine! , better than HC ... more battery life 300%, free ram, CM9 !! ... iu can install DSP manager ...
Dont work:
... only cam, video cam, phone app, 3g and 4g,no sim detect,fly mode crash, dock station ramdoly crash.
No radios besides wifi/bluetooth work.
And voice calls are still in deep discussion if its possible.
If you restart after (crashed) turning on fly mode, you should stay in it. And you can save some battery power (~7 - 10%, GO power master said, because some telephone modules and mobile internet works in background, inspite of the fact that you dont have sim card). So you can use wifi and bluetooth too (in fly mode).
Also, my Streak charged in one hour and 30 minutes from absolute zero to 100%. Is it normal? Why it is so fast?
Discharging is rather long - about 32.5 hours!
One more question: can i uninstall some system apps such as sms/mms, calls and other useless?
Go ahead and uninstall the SMS/MMS stuff, but for now don't uninstall the phone.apk and telephony.apk, I've actually had worse device performance and more crashes because of it.
New question! How can i get rid from flickering screen at 20-40 brightness value? AnTuTu CPU Master cant use GPU control because it doesnt supported for our device at now. Can we change a kernel to more tweakable maybe?

Because we do not have a 2.6.39 kernel nor a 3.0.x kernel from Dell, we have done the best we can in tweaking the 2.6.36 kernel to work with ICS.
How about not having it at the brightness level? Change it to a different level.
Not long ago i installed BatteryMix program and discover, that my battery have floating charge - sometimes when i power off the screen (cpu frequency and battery temperature is falling), the charge is raising for 2 - 3%! Is it safe?
Guys, i cant play games on B4 at all! I installed many popular games, but they dont run. Even TrialX2, that i played on stock and HS 3.2, doesnt work! I tried Chainfire, but it doesnt help. What is the reason?
Games dont work because of tegra2 drivers, that this rom doesnt have. I returned to HC for this time
I am pretty sure that posting questions that had already been asked fell under this... but then again n00bs never use the search bar
Nocturnal_50, this thread is a public talk with Giveen for me, mostly. I think its a good way to posting my questions in one thread. So, give me the links or describe the answer, if you can. Nobody needs your useless comments about nothing

Look over this, people continually ask about it, giveen has told me he will no longer be creating ROMs for the Streak 7 and that DJ_steve is the only hope for ICS_b5 unless someone new steps into the game.
Ok, maybe. So where is some faq about it? We always should read 32 pages of text?

if you are taking the TLDR approach then try from about page 26 onward
There is one thread for all versions, not only for b4, maybe - i dont know, which problem exactly described for b4 (maybe for b2 or b1 or b0.0001). Second reason - this thread is very dirty (its my opinion). Helps him dell or not, have they problems in code or not have, do they need money or bear - i dont care (as usual user). I dont want to read all of this! We need different threads for dev and for users with their questions and faq - it is normal practice for many device branches on xda. But we havent normal thread for rom, normal faq, normal question thread - and you say that i should read all garbaged (for me in this situation) text.
