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

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 :

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...

OS Lag - Other Options?

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?)

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!

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

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!!!!

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

-wallpapers dosen't fit, the image i crop form the wallpaper si more smaller than the screen resolution
is good at:
-battery life time via 3g or wifi
-dosen't heat the battery
-neocron test 18.7 fps (faster the Xperia-Xdandroid-X1 4.11 v2)
-very smooth animations
-browsing is fast
-market is working
-media player works greate (untill now)
-has file explorer
ill keep on testing

[Q] Where is RC1-7.0.0-11.02.18 CM7 for Milestone?

I see in the Dev forum that the first RC1 of Cyanogenmod 7 for Milestone is available, but when I go to download it here, it doesn't seem to be available. I guess it would be called update-cm-7.0.0-RC1-0.07-11.02.18-Milestone-signed.zip but that last one available was the 11.02.15 release. Does anyone know whether the RC1-7.0.0-11.02.18 has been withdrawn for some reason?
I've been testing each and every build with good success, so I'm really keen to try the new one. I would ask in the dev forum, but I'm relatively new at the XDA forum and am therefore not eligible to post in it.
SF
Well, I eventually found the correct download link at https://github.com/downloads/nadlabak/android/update-cm-7.0.0-RC1-0.07-11.02.18-Milestone-signed.zip
Thanks,

How is it working out so far? I've recently just started using cm6 but I don't want to install too much / get invested in it if CM7 is solid enough to use day 2 day.

I would stick with cm6 for now. CM7 could use many improvements and as of now is very memory hungry (I was on the feb.10 release). CM7, however, has many bug fixes that are not implemented in cm6, for example, the wifi fix (wasn't working with some n routers before I think [depending on the security type or something] ) and it seems as though there is also the random freeze + random reboot fix (using another, older kernel) I would not switch to CM7, until many bugs are fixed. Also some games don't work.

It's great. But video playing not working for me.
So I installed CM7 to try it out, and on RC1 my videos play fine (widescreen) using the included "Video" app. Well most of them do, one of them is displayed 4:3 for some reason?
I'm finding that it works quite well. Battery life is good, but there are a few bugs that need working out. CM6 is probably better if you need your phone to be 100% reliable, but I like to push the boundaries and play around.
Bugs or missing features so far:
- Button lights and keyboard backlight not working properly for me (and at least one other user here)
- Auto backlight brightness not working for me at all
- Volume button swapping/remapping not yet implemented, so that in lanscape mode left means louder (which is the wrong way round for me)
- Memory usage is a problem, so that Launcher pro keeps having to re-initialise
- Camera is VERY unreliable
- Getting random reboots and lockups, especially in Google Maps
Still, things are getting better with every release and I can always go back to CM6 if I want, since I made a Nandroid backup in OpenRecovery before I installed the CM7 update. I've just installed the RC2 update, so lets see how that goes...

CHANGELOG
V12
642200 MHz now runs with 200 Mhz AXI and AHB clocks
Fixed a small issue with AXI and AHB clocks,them weren't set properly
PLL clock is now mantained after panel blank-unblank
V11
Added some scaling steps,642200 MHz and 100800 MHz
Last frequence(642200) runs off PLL3,making a small speed bost
AXI and AHB are clocked at 160 MHz for PLL3,when making it higher the phone became unresponsive and slow
Default governor is On demand if you don't use my new rootfs
Kernel uses now 642200 as default max frequency
CIFS is back
V(R) is now default I/O scheduler,however you can always go back to No-op
Worked a bit on Kovksy battery meter,should be a bit more responsive now
V10
EXPERIMENTAL,Topaz should boot now
Kovsky battery fix,now is being more precise
Reverted to the old way to handle clock,doesn't bring more performance,could make the battery last a bit more
V9
EXPERIMENTAL,EXT4 support
Kovsky battery fix,now is being read properly
CIFS is being built as a module
No-Op I/O scheduler
Small but useful change in the way cpu handles clock
V8
Partially fixed kovsky battery meter
Now battery discharges and charges,is just bad calibrated
DISCLAIMER:
If your phone(or SD-CARD) burns,explodes,or does unexpected things when using my kernel i take no responsability.
BUG LIST
Camera not working on X1,that's a common issue,pheraps it's time to backport from alex's .35
Class 6 and above sd-cards don't work well on blackstone
Bundle
Since ext3 is bringing good results and since everyone is saying good things about it
I've decided to make it more noob friendly.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Please read carefully README.txt
If you can't extract it,please download latest 7zip..
NOTES FOR DEVELOPERS/CHEFS:
You need to update /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to make the build working with ext3
Change all the format and mount lines to ext3 instead of ext2.
Example
Code:
format("ext2", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
has to be
Code:
format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
CHANGELOG:
V9
ROOTFS: Rel_path fixed
ROOTFS: Removed some hardcoded /sdcard/npkboot,now system can run from any folder

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

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]

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?
