check this neopeek testers need again....

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

Xperia-Xdandroid-X1 2.2.1 25.11,Fatsal-xperoid 2.0.1 25.11,Hero Sense UI 2.1 25.11

Hello folks.
I'll be posting an esy to use package for everyone who wants to try the lastest android builds for the xperia x1.
I'll also keep it updated to the latest releases.
Just unzip the archive to your sd-card root.
No need to enable wifi or bluetooth in win mo for any of the versions.
Have your phones plugged in during first boot !!!
Grab the 25.11 edition here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev kernel version from here.
Sp3dev's kernel seems to be better.
Working: -wifi
-bluetooth
-gps
-marketplace
-3d acceleration - neocore 15.7 fps
-3g works (orange romania)
-phone doesn't overheat
-phone speacker works
-great battery life for sp3dev
Warning: The boot takes a million years and the system is abit slow in the first minutes.
Changes:
-new kernels from xdandroid
Well it seems the new versions from sp3dev is quite ready for day to day use.
Starting now I'll provide Android 2.0.1 versions too. I find them to run smoother and better on the xperia. Also I'm hopping for better battery life.
Same kernels as above, the same things work.
Grab the xdandroid kernel version from here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev version from here.
And starting today im proving a Sense UI rom frm the HTC Hero.
A little warning they are even slower to boot so have patience and also boot logo is upside down.
Grab the xdandroid.2 kernel from here and sp3dev from here.
Note !!!! : Radio version seems to influence android quite abit. 1.14.25.55 seems to work the best. Please report your radio version and how android runs on it.
And on a further note I recomend this for dual booting. For more details go here.
Blimey I should organise my post better.

what about battery life?

Till now 3 hours uptime with mild use (3g on, some wifi and installing some applications and testing them) and battery is down to 98%. May be a bad battery reading or its actually having a good battery life, only time will tell. It running really cold compared to all the other builds i tryed which made my phone burn hot.

which kernel did you use?Thanks for one zip package

I've been using the latest kernel from here.

Nice release, have it running on my xperia right now.
Saw at the about screen its running froyo 2.2.1 although for some reason it won't connect to my wifi at home.
Nice release
i do have one question, how is the key mapping for the android? did a quick search but couldn't find an image that used to be here on the forums with the key mapping.

data connection not working for me.no 3g either.

New version is out. Probably better battery life.
3g does work but you need to configure your apn.
Regarding the key mapping I have no idea. I dislike the xperia's keyboard, never used it.

unfortunatly 3g won't be possible since i use my sim in my Galaxy S so i hoped for wifi to be working. About the keymapping. i meant the buttons under the touchscreen, not the touchscreen .
The release is running smooth on my xperia
do i need to run the sp3dev kernel version from the root or can i put it on the same SD card in a directory?

where can we download the new version

neo 299 see the first post.It's called sp3dev.
As for button mapping:
-power button is used for sleep and power
-call buttons are for call
-ok button is for back
-xpanel button is for home
-and left action button is for menu
No you can only have one release on a sd card. And I do recommend the new one more.

However, Megauploads gave error message :

Any chance you could upload it somewhere else as well ?
Thanks! HS

The sp3dev kernel version works fine, my X1 gets al bit warm but works. Tweetdeck works realy well, Foursquare will be tested tomorrow.
The only two problems I have till now are within the phone function. Kinda important...
1) I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me when calling.
2) And I don't have a clue how to add a ringtone.
Can someone help?

very good version of xdandroid.
fast and stable....
battery comsumption seems ideal??
but the main issue is no sound at all for me..
including ring tone, voice call...etc...
please help to fix~~otherwise, it is a really great build

Try using the other build. I think that one had working sound but battery wouldn't last so long.
And as for ringtones google a tutorial ).

I'm also having trouble with the sound.... no sound on calls, media, etc.... But when i test the ringtone there is sound...
Any ideas? Great build btw.....keep up the good work...

Froyo FRG83 - Android 2.2.1 Beta-Release [06-11-2010] from neopeek
it needs ext2 partition

You can find more info on this link
http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Son...o-FRG83---Android-221-Beta-Release-05-11-2010
I used it today for a long time and everything was so fast and i had no problems accept for:
-sometimes it will and sometimes it wont charge
-in market when downloading app i have to cancel and click download again in order for download to start.
-other small issues like battery status.
I had apsolutely no crash. I made and recieved 12 calls today and 3 sms without any problems. Havent tested battery life but it seems OK. Market works, Wifi,...etc.
its uses sp3dev zImage.
This is first port of android that is accually usable for everyday work. I used it all day without any major problem.
We are very close to fully working version. Thanks to everyone.
You should definitly try it if you have not.

thanks!!!!

10x
i'll try it right now
10x

What makes that build more usable than previous ones?
haven't tested it yet, but most other neopeek's buils are fast ans have no problems except little ones you are mentioning in first post.
How is battery life in that one?

Lets put it out this way. I tried them all and this one is best so far.
Battery drain is slow becouse it uses sp3dev files i think. Havent still tested full battery life time but i think its great. Will test it later.
Its been on all day and no restart, no crash, no lag, no slowdown.
I made and recived 16 calls and 5 sms till now without any problems.
Most of other ports do eventually freeze, restart, crash or slowdown. But this one still works perfectly. In combination with good battery time its best port so far.
So far we had ports with stability but bad battery time.
And lately we had ports with good battery time but other stuff was not good.
This one combines it all (good stuff)
Wifi works, headphones work, calls work, its very fast.
Sometimes you have to wait minute till download from market starts.
There are other small issues. I think bluetooth dont work.
But for me this is so far most usable ROM.
P.S. I installed Launcher Pro.

The issue with market (to need to cancell download and start again) is something usual on all devices so don't worry about that.

Battery consumption is about 9-10% per hour with 3G network and little usage.
So we have about 10-11 hours of use with this ROM.

Hmm... I tried to install it following this tut : http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Que...-tosWheresWhens---All-right-here!?lang=en#525
But... it seems that INSTALL.exe install everything in a folder, not in my ext2 partition ... oO
Did u use this way to install it ? denyboy
EDIT : Ok , ext2 wasn't set as primary ..

couldn't connect Wifi (wifi connected but doesnt find my accespoint :/) + cant share connection everything else seems ok

I got it working. So, if I have to reboot the device, I have to get into WinMo first and run Haret everytime?

Touch Diamond Battery Epic Fail

Hello all =D
I'm despaired by seeing people running nice Android on there Touch Diamond...
I'm explaining to you :
I tryed a lot of android rom (2.x) from XDA, CONNECT-UTB & NeoPeek...
The result is always the same : BATTERY DRAIN --'
I tryed many kernel, modules etc,etc on glemsom.users.anapnea.net/android2/htc-msm-linux/
I don't know what to do ... WM makes me beeing crazy, like all of Microsoft products...
I really need your help...

You should go on ebay and buy a new battery
pretty cheap

For me, its seems coming from android drivers, because WM runs for 3days without plugging AC Power ...

Oh haha, I have the same problem, your not the only one. But in the android porting of the DIAM, this has been known as a issue, and this point everything is being done. The battery is just PART of a list of bugs and issues.
What you can do to limit battery drain
1] Lower settings on android -Screen brightness, -Use Data when needed otherwise keep it off, also with internet.
2]I have gone through many kernels and it all of them vary, but ill let you know what kernel i have [because its ok with the battery]
3]Be patient because this is a project in the making so fixes will come as they are found [camera, video etc]
ALL this is mentioned through the massive thread [I would hate to read it all]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711692
stay tune

Adjust your backlight (for me, the maximum brightness is too strong - I'm photophobic- so I use the backlight on its 30~40%), or turn off connections like GPS, BT or Wi-Fi, just turn on when it's necessary...
It'll save some batt...
If the problem continues, grab a new batt on ebay...

I did it, it seems to be better, after 12h with a low utilization, the battery is at 60%.
But it's long to wait for a good release x)

[Q] Best ROM on Milestone?

Hi, my question is simple but the answer could be an entire book...
Since we can no longer trust Motorola and their crappy customer care (don't want to waste time to say those things again, all of you know what I'm talking about )
I had a look over the Internet to understand which ROM is suitable for an upgrade, but now I am confused :
there are a lot of ROMs out there, and I don't have time to test each one (more, I have only this phone, if I brick it, or block it due to an unusable ROM I have to fix it asap.).
Is there a fully working unofficial ROM with a better performance than the stock one? (with flash and app2sd?)
I understand that the locked bootloader isn't helping on this, but I'm interested in the full features of my smartphone: if camera doesn't work for example, for me it's a shame (either if everything else works flawless..).
I am root already if that can help...
Thank you in advance
Pol.

Bro, try shadowmod b3,
I have used froyomod, cm6, hobomod and shadowmod,
I can undoubtedly say that shawdowmod b3 is the best one,
Advantage:
OK battery life, never lag, stable
Disadvantages:
Aggressive autokill
(but would not affect music player, doesn't matter to me)
SMS notification light doesn't work
Sent from my A853 using XDA App

be experimental
its a question of what u personally prefer...
aesthetic appeal,lag,bugs gotta be considered..
i use the beta CM6.1.2 milestone port...
its a lill(very lil) laggy but everythin seems to work flawlessly
plus the cpu is overclocked to 900mhz. which is favourable
try diff roms and choose ... but be sure to make a backup of what u already have

I am using for about two weeks ShadowMod B3 and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Pros :
- fast ;
- ~stable ;
- no battery problems (1d and ~15 hours - moderate use).
Cons :
- can't listen music and play in the same time (player is killed) ;
- some problems with the gallery and with the camera (specially when pressing the camera button) ;
- about ~3 restarts per week (surely the problem is the ROM and not my OC).
BTW , my SMS notification works (green light blinking). :-?
Comparing this to what I've already used (stock Eclair , CM 6.1.2), this is pretty cool, but it would be much nicer is the agressive autokill could be removed.

Thank you for your answers
I saw an outstanding performance of Quadrant on a shadowmodded milestone on Youtube, but I am worried by those bugs: as I can see there are different bugs on different milestones (how is it possible? aren't they sharing the same hardware? )
What do you mean with "Aggressive Autokill"? No multitasking?
while the cons mentioned by Abazel are not reassuring
The little lags on CM are the only issues? I read somewhere that you can no longer mount the SD card via USB and that there are some problems with camera too.
How about random reboots with this ROM?
Thank you again
Pol.

CM 6.1.2 was pretty stable for me but I was a bit laggy (not very much and was ~the single problem I found). ShadowMod b3 it's a bit weird - it works downloading and playing something at the same time but I can't listen to music and play simultaneously - the player is killed => the music starts singing => stops again (thing which could have been done easily under CM 6.1.2). These days I am encountering several problems (restarts or freeze at "Gallery"). I don't know what is the problem. With the SD card i don't have any issues at all... works fine for me. So, if you want improved stability, go for CyanogenMod 6.1.2. If you want a "bumpy ride" , try ShadowMod. ) Have a nice day!

Thank you,
I assume that these are the two best options.
I wonder if CM7 is already stable enough or if it's better to use CM6 since it's already stable.
BTW I believe that ****ijsood is right, I have to be experimental. Just need to find some spare time to waste on this...

Yep, the main problem of shadowmod b3 is the aggressive autokill,
Because of this feature, the phone never lag.
Some think that this autokill is disturbing coz they are used to listening to music and at the same time play game.
But as I never do that, this autokill wouldn't disturb me.....
As this phone has limited ram, there is always a tradeoff....
I am not saying that cm6 is not good. It has the best features and widgets.
But I just cannot stand the laggy feeling

If the Autokill would affect only "heavy" apps like games and music players, maybe it's not so bad.
I think I'll give Shadowmod a try, I can always change again if I find it too buggy.
Thank you for your answers

polengo, or others, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was wondering if there are any 'improved" ROMS out there now for the MM1.
I recently acquired a Milestone (3-4 months) running Eclair and it's been kind of quirky. Random freezes, random reboots, laggy, when bluetooth or headphone is disconnected the music player starts on its own. Battery life has been quite good stock, with light to moderate use.
Thanks.

Cm7 for me has been the best. I have had one random reboot in the past couple weeks. runs smooth, and the battery life is as good as any other rom ive tried.

Well, right now, I think the best rom around is latest CM7 or HONOmod. Although, you might want to give a try to CM6 or Luca's froyomod, if you need an extra piece of ram. The only drawback with froyo based roms right now is the lack of active development. You have to face that MM1 is an old piece of hardware right now!
Enviado desde mi Milestone usando Tapatalk

The CM9 Alpha runs quiet smooth.
I use it in my daily life.

Trying to install HO!NO! using clockworkmod and keep getting (error 7). I am not seeing this error with other roms. I tried toggling the signature verification and that only pushed the error back a few more seconds. Should I move the file out of openrecovery directory and place it in the nandroid directory and ask Nandroid to perform a backup using the HO!NO! zip file? In other words, should I use your zip as a backup and not as a rom? I look forward to checking your ROM out. The buzz is pretty exciting. Thanks.
