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.

This looks sweet, thanks.
However, Megauploads gave error message :
"The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."
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...

Hello,
I've been using Cm7 latest KANGs since months, they're all good but there's ALWAYS been problems in every cm7 build that makes me hate this phone when it happens.
The problem is that they happen randomly with no apparent explanation!
problem #1
almost every week it happens that the phone drain battery very fast and gets a little hot. The reason is "suspend" process running wildly in the background.
What is it and why doesn't happen always? Solution : reboot, after it drained half your battery
edit : now "mediascanner" took the place of suspend
problem #2
every 3-4 days if you never reboot the phone it gets to a point where its slow and slightly unreactive. When you surf with Opera you notice a struggle to process data like something is using the CPU, the reality is that nothing is.
The worst part about this is when the phone is in that state and you do something that involves a cpu process you hear a noise form the speakers like an interference it's very difficult to explain. If you happen to listen to music in this state everything that you do makes the music lag like if it restarted every 1/3s of a second, like when you try to playback some video from a source that has a slower reading speed than the video bitrate itself. A jerky playback.
Solution = reboot.
problem #3 every month the phone (even on silent mode) "screams". :| that's right, from the speakers you suddenly hear random "leaks" of loud and high pitch sound things for NO REASON.
"problem #4" the front facing camera is just bad it doesn't adjust to the light with auto exposure compensation. It has very bad banding and digital noise things on the image. I thought it was a driver problem in cm7 but it happens in stock too. This problem didn't happen in the first nightlies of cm7.
Are those bugs reported?
I'm currently in problem 2 and I'll just let it do its thing just to see how funny the battery graphic will look. In 6h runtime I have "suspend" using the cpu for 30minutes and going.
I tried every kernel.
i have the same problem as you with suspend i dont know what it is, but anyways my battery is not that bad after 16 hours is still 58% medium usage.
we can try asking temasek if he has a clue.
I also have problem #3
very strange, happens sometimes even when the phone is on silent, and it's been sitting on my nightstand for 7hours without me using it (plugged in)
it also happens sometimes when it's not plugged in and I'm just browsing the web
(seems to happen more often when viewing video's)
What annoys me most its problem #1 . It's just unacceptable to have something for no reason draining your battery when you phone is sleep mode, even worse when you don't when it will happen!
#1 - I rarely have this issue but it doesn't drain my battery.
#2 - I don't hve this issue
#3 - I don't hve this issue
#4 - I use LG modded camera so no such issue.

Now I have it and I can't get it to go away!! It drains battery at about 10% per hour (without touching the device). What kernel are you using?
Can you link me the camera mod?
Got another for the list!
BBC iplayer !
On both the app and the Web page it works fine through the interface, the intro to your TV program works fine, then you get into the program and the picture is just pixelated rainbow mush! Lol!
Weirdly if you minimize the program and then resize the image it's fine!
What's that all about?
another one:
( I think its with every android version above 2.34)
if there are too many apps moved to sd card (about 50) phone works only till first reboot. once shut down and turned on again, phone keeps on rebooting. only thing that helps is putting sd in pc and delete some .asec-files from .android_secure-folder.
I had #3 before, I think it was around Temasek kang 1x.. After a dozens of flashes, I forgot it ever existed.

There's another one too which is important to save battery life: sometimes the wifi connection doesn't start until you go into the wifi settings. Meaning that if you are within the coverage you won't be connected to the wifi network until you go into wifi settings. This will drain battery because the phone won't turn off the eventual 3G active connection

I tried that but I what I meant is during video calls with skype and gtalk! It shows the correct exposure at the first second that goes into wrong mode.
BTW this phone has the worst ff camera, just bad bad bad quality
haha...the speaker scream at night....
just flash CM7 (Alien Revolution) this morning,
only some minor things found:
1. have to remove the latin.apk manually to against force close
2. can't use the original screen capture (HOME + POWER),
use the option by long press the power button for replacement
3. while playing "Let's golf 3", it got force close
clear the data of the game and it's solved.
4. 2 hrs before, the phone signal suddenly drop and disconnected...
just reboot and see whether it happen again...
Hi Temasek.. will this camera mod work with MIUI roms?

I have another problem on using CM7, it's the HDMI connection. My phone doesn't displayed on 1080p mode, pic quality is awful (my LCD TV is full hd capable).
And when I played a movie and throw it to the LCD TV on landscape mode, it displayed only for couple of seconds and then blackout. My phone continued to play the movie though. This is not happening in portrait mode.
On Optimus 2x stock ROM, it is possible to select hdmi resolution. How to do that in CM7?
Thanks!

no one of the problems here!
working fine and perfect with alienRevolution 1.9.1 ! Best ROM!
Problem #1 happend to me once, i was on ETaNa Kernel 0mb (i dont know wich version) and a Temasek Kang (think it was 61)
Never happend again. Now i am on ETaNa 32mb 18th Feb. and Temasek Kang 66, everything works fine for me.
I think the battery draining issue was just a bad RIL now battery seems as it should be.
I still have problem #2 though and I can't believe I am the only one experiencing it!
I made a mistake because I was powering off the phone at night in the last month but now that I'm keeping it on at night I can say it happens after 1 day of running time.
Basically when you start using it the second day the phone becomes unresponsive, go launcher EX keeps reloading icons very often, it takes sometimes 2-3 secs to open an app after you press on it , Opera keeps getting shutting down if you check another app for 1 second, when you go back you have to wait 6-7secs for it to restart. The situatios stabilizes itself a little when you keep using it (still not that snappy like at boot) but then goes back to the same sluggishness.
Juicedefender shows in the logs that "memory is low" and for how the phone acts it does look like it but I always have 80-100MB left and even if I kill every service running the sluggishness is still there. SO what the hell is causing it? Could this "suspend" be responsible for memory leaks? Again what does this suspend do?
Here's a screenshot for today only after the overnight recharge.
And of course the phone died while I was charging screen or phone wouldn't turn at all, apparently it charged to 56% and then BSOD
Just to make sure, am I the only one where suspend uses all the cpu?
i have also tryed cm7, its nice and stable but a little bug which forced me to change the rom, go launcher always restarts and i have to force close it and whenever i put some movies and images in sd card gallery doesnt updated it and shows old files only, thats y i changed my rom.
Hi there everybody
I've installed [ROM][ICS 4.0.3][Unoffical Port] AOKP Build23 by vibranturk ROM.
Problems I found
1. android.media.process crashing always /almost every minute/
2. cant get in to market /meaning couldn't install any app yet/
3. cant get in to gallery
4. cant get in to music player
4. cant take secreenshot by default setting
5. sound is enabled but doesn't work. /not even play ringtones /
6. screen brightness not enough for day light
7. cant take photo by camera /android.media.process crashing/
Actually ROM is amazing. But without market its feels nothing.
Has anybody have same problem and about how to solve etc?
PS: I flashed 2 times.
You should start from fresh cuz not one problem that you stated has occured to me.....only bug is that when i reboot the batt % is off..
market works perfectly
...everything does atually

Use Glitch v14, the included has some slight lag and glitch fixed it up. You can also LiveOC which allows for overclocking of the CPU and GPU.
signal
Has anyone found the solution for the gray\blue signal switching? So far as I can tell it is caused by the wifi; whenever I go from mobile network to wifi data, the signal bars go gray. The only work-around has been to switch airplane mode on and off. Would switching to the newly released glitch kernel do the trick?
EDIT: I have found out the Google services problem (gray vs. blue signal) is only happening when I join a network which requires a redirect authentication OR if the power saver is enabled.
Just got this phone and flashed it with - AOKP Build23 by vibranturk ROM
I have been reading for awhile now before I received the phone. Thanks vibranturk for all the development here! Excellent roms!
1) When I start the camera app from app on homescreen and from unlock - the phone goes into a black screen
The camera app worked fine again after a reset (just turning off and back on) but after awhile it does the same thing - black screen.
During the black screen, I can press the home button to return back to homescreen
** Resetted again, and all seems well at the moment and still fine after 1 hour!
2) I am not sure if this is the rom or just my screen. Did not notice it at first when i flashed the rom. Turning on the screen to unlock the phone, ie when the light starts, i get this bright green full screen flash for like a second. It does not happen everytime and no pattern of when it happens either.
Anyone else having these problems?
Can someone please update the 'AOKP thread in Captivate Android Development' with my issues, just trying to help with the development.
For the signal blue/grey thing, Seems like it goes blue for me when i have data signal coming in, either wifi or data enabled - lights up both wifi signal (only if wifi is on) and signal bars blue.
I have power saver is enabled as well.
My only issues so far are: vibrate + sound doesn't work, touch screen is over sensitive on certain games, and sometimes using Swype in messaging doesn't input if app was already in foreground when replying.(can be fixed by minimizing and reopening the app) otherwise it's works great. fast/smooth and great battery life.
Some of the problems in official CM rom for our galaxy ace:
1. Charge reduces fast compared to stock rom
2. When back (right soft touch key) is pressed while call is coming, call gets cut.
3. Brightness is less compared to stock rom.
Could you please provide are these there in all mobiles or it is for me alone. If it is for all any remedies??

Q&A for [KK 4.4.4][ROM]Mackay ROM 4.9.13 (11-Oct-2014)
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Thnx

Work like a charm.
Battery Life
I just installed this ROM, and previously I had the CM11 that was too slow for me. It's not incredibly fast on my I9000 but works fine, the only problem is the battery lifespan that compared to the original gingerbread 2.3.6 it's really less (10 hours almost)
Hi Kasper
I was wondering if there is going to be an update soon as the m12 has just rolled out with security fixes
Thanks for all your hard work
Hi peeps.
Just a quicky..
Is there anyway of changing screen DPI on this ROM.. If so how.??

Profile & sound settings
Hello,
First of all, I wish to thank you, karsper_h. Your 4.9.14 ROM has given a real rebirth to my old SGS.
Unfortunately, I encounter a small problem with your rom: I am using the profile feature of CM to automatically switch setting (wifi, sounds, etc...) depending on where I am (or should I say when I am, since this is time based).
In settings/sound, I can change the ring volume all right.
However, The setting which is recorded in the profile does not get applied.
Assume the ring volume is set to the maximum. Then I have a profile called "work", where the ring volume is set to a low value.
Switching to the "work" profile does not modify the ring volume.
This was working on CM10 & CM11.
For the record, my phone went from stock 2.3.6 (factory reset) to CM10.1.3 to CM11-M12 to MacKay 4.9.14. I did not wipe the phone when going from CM12 to MacKay, considering the two roms are exactely at the same verion level.
I do not have experienced other problem: this rom is actualy fast and stable.
Is someone else experiencing this problem ?
remap bluetooth earphone buttons
Is there a way to remap the earphone bluetooth buttons ? Actually long pressing volumes up redial the last call, and long pressing volume down launch a voice recognition app that doesn't understand a word I say

battery duration
How long is the battery duration with the i9000 whit this ROM (MACKAY 4) ?

Click to expand...

It heavily depends on your usage of the phone.
If I leave my I9000 alone, with wifi and data off, the battery consumption can get below 1%/hour.
In my normal usage, it's about 2%/hour on average, giving easily more than one day of autonomy.
If your battery doesn't last that long, then something is preventing your phone to go into deepsleep state when idle.
To find out what is causing this, I suggest you install the application BetterBatteryStats, available on f-droid (no ads) and the playstore (with ads).
Hope this will help you.

Hello Kasper
First thankyou for this awesome rom,
I have a question for overclock,
I go to performace and to CPU frequency i select 1200MHz, but after usin phone with overclock restart automatically.
Can anyone tell me what is problem??
Your phone is designed to work at 1GHz frequency, perhaps 1.2GHz is too taxing for your phone.
Errors over and over!!!
any Crash Error that you can think about appear in my phone since yesterday! i was using this rom for months but these problems started annoying me from yesterday! it even doesn't let me check my sms messages and answer them! or even can't use dialer! etc.!
Errors:
Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped!
Unfortunately, process com.google.process.gapps has stopped!
Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped!
and ...
the errors show after another over and over! specially when i connect to internet(turning wifi on)
Even sometimes desktop does'nt load!! :| :| :|
Is there any solution!!??

Problem with touch-input
Special thanks for the creator of this ROM for his efforts.
I have a question concerning a bug I am experiencing. Often I am not able to make any touch-command on the right wing of the screen, about 1cm, this is especially annoying when it happens during typing. I experienced the same bug on CM11, but not on the original firmware, I believe. The occurence is not bound to any special app, it even happens on the Home screen.
Is this a known bug and is anyone experiencing the same? Any suggestions what causes this?
Sometimes after rebooting i dont seem to be able to get my SIM card recognized and so have no mobile network.
does anybody else have this?
I think that this rom is the best of the best and i think the best rom must have the best splash screen so i prefer to change the splash screen
Hey i think you must re-install the rom and i think it will work
