Hello Brian,

your work is great. You are a real lifesaver.
After my old old old phone broke down I grabbed the X1 out of a box and when I 
remembered its windows mobile I nearly broke down.
But due to your work the phone really works out.

So, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Two days ago I only knew the terms HSPL, Bootloader, Kernel and ROM from 
hearsay due to your work and the tutorial, on which I already posted a little 
feedback, I know a little bit more today.

Now I want to give you a little feedback as well:

Problems:
Hardware keys: I have the same problems as so many others. The Hardware keys 
stop working sometimes. Sometimes after a few minutes. Sometime everything is 
fine for hours and hours. I couldn't figure out a patern jet. But I hope and 
already read that there are already people working on the problem.
Battery: I dont know if this is only at my device but I have a problem with my 
Battery. I charge it to 100%. After disconnecting from the power supply it 
rappidly goes down until it reaches around 13% to 14%. At this point you might 
figure that my Battery is broken but it stays at 14% for hours! Yesterday it 
stayed there for almost 6 hours.
WLAN: This kind of plays into the one above. When I check the Battery Status it 
says that the WLAN used up a minimum of 50% of the
Battery. I figure this is quite a lot. Because its more than the Display.

Ideas/suggestions:
Swipe: I think that swype in combination with the x1 pen might be something 
worth to consider.
Kalender: Is it possible to include the new google calender from the bginning?
googleplay: Might be more of a problem. I am not sure but I often do not get a 
connection to google-play while connected per wlan. Also I have the feeling 
that app-downloads get stuck quite often. But I have to keep an eye on both for 
a more time.

Thats all for the moment.
Hope you dont mind my wall of text,

Thanks for your work again.

I fully acknowledge the same situation with the buttons.

"Hardware keys: I have the same problems as so many others. The Hardware keys 
stop working sometimes. Sometimes after a few minutes. Sometime everything is 
fine for hours and hours"

Complied with all the instructions, rebooted the phone, the problem is not 
resolved in this way

"We can use "aShell + aSQLiteManager apps" for enhancing the screen off/on 
performance and to solve some hardware keys problem. So install both apps and 
after open aShell and check "Root" in the main screen, after click on "File 
Explorer" and go to "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db", so 
click on "settings.db" to open it and select aSQLiteManager, now go to 
"system", then to "Data" and "PageDown" to know the last ID number created and 
finally click on "New". So, we just have to add three new records to "system" 
table:
electron_beam_animation_off=0
electron_beam_animation_on=0
lockscreen_disabled=1
(NOTE: "_id" is the one you like after the ones already created, 
"electron_beam_animation" is the name and "0" is the value and so on) "

with broken hardware keyboard, plugged charging usb, and the hardware key to 
start working again.

I'd also like to add this also applies to the optical joystick. It seems that's 
more common to occur but difficult to notice.

I have made some changes to the microp-keyboard interrupt handler. It may 
resolve the lost keys bug. Could you try the latest boot.img file in the file 
list and test it.

Sure, when I have time. I sort of lost my SD card. This may take a while.

Yeah, the issue seems to be fixed. I'll mark it as "Fixed" now.
