[Q] Is there any hope... - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

..., that someone will bring Android 4.0xxx to the X10 Mini Pro?
I don't want to stress anyone...the question is more, if it is possible at all to port the 4.0xxx to this "old" smartphone and if someone wants to do this much work...

Well. It is ported now but is actually an alpha version. The question now is... Is there any hope to get ICS fully working on our tiny old phone?... I think it is possible, but with significant limitations.

Is Mini Pro being considered an old phone? If so then I have to buy a new one!

The 18 months are already gone.

I think there is hope, but its taking awhile as there's alot to do.
It depends really on whether or not the devs get bored (hardly) or find cash for a new phone (likely) so stop working on it.
I'll hold out hope that it can be done, some more inferior and older devices have got android 4 working, but we know how troublesome these x10mp's can be.

Porting Android to Sony Ericsson Satio?

Hi, does any one know if it has been done or is possible to port Android to the Satio?
I have seen video of Android working on a K or W series phone.
Cheers,
Tichy
It's impossible now. There isn't any program to run linux in symbian phones.
android on vivaz
Damn, I want to try to port android to vivaz, I heard somewhere that it is possible to put the x10 userinterface, on both the satio and the vivaz.
And that by using the sony skd. Maybe we can manage to port android with the help of this sdk thing.

i hope....Android on Vivaz is fantastic!
i would love to see this happen because the OS that the Satio runs on is to out of date.
It would bring an old phone up to date!
The post dates in this thread are so scattered, it doesn't even seem worth apologising for bringing up an old thread.

How can you even post here for this?! You should be on the phone to SonyEricsson harassing them to update their ****ty arse phone which isn't even a year old now...
I had a satio but I switched to iPhone when I realised that their "attempt" at an app store: PlayNow had about two apps worth downloading. To get any use from the phone even remotely like Android/iPhone you need to root it, and why the hell did they release the phone with Symbian when Android was already out?!
The least they can do now is develop an Android port for this phone, considering it's still the most powerful phone camera-wise thus far.
Still impossible to port Android to Satio ? Because only one Android phone has Xenon flash that is really usfull during night party Thanks
A little bump doesn't seem inappropriate. Is there any more news regarding this topic? I would love to see some android on my Satio, "luckily" I have a X10 right now. But a Satio with android running on it would make it a perfect backup phone for me.
any luck yet? seem a few tutorials about on how to install android on nokia n8 and couple of others but none these methods work on vivaz due to the os being that old. has anyone tried flashing the vivaz with x10 gdfs? that should make seus recognise it as a x10 and install x10's android on it in theory

the only thing you will get doing that its a bricked phone, and you cannot trick the seus so easily
So any progress? I like Satio, but with Android....
Is anyone working on this question?
I would be very pappy if it is possible. Basicaly it is a good phone with bad OS.
At the moment my satio is waiting in the drawer for android.
Guys, move on. It is not going to happen. EVER.
There are no drivers for the Satio hardware and unless someone has the brain, time, willingness, means to write them from scratch, you're out of luck and better off getting a new Android phone.

No point asking
But I do wonder if there is any os update available as all my other phones have either exploded caught fire or bent so are in the untrusty fingers of EVIL Sony, anyone thinks of getting a Sony be warned they take no responsibility for selling faulty goods and dont like to give you your warranty.

Nobody here is responsible for your inability to read. Please go to General forum and look for a post named something similar to Debranding X10. It took me less than 30 seconds to read, understand, and download what is needed, and 5 minutes to have an X10 debranded.
Please stop wasting everybody's time.
By the way, nobody's mom is responsible either for your lack of attention when you're playing with a 500$ phone. If you bricked your phone, you did it all by yourself.
Please mods, delete or close this topic as it's going nowhere (abuse reported)
Hahaha... "ROM flies" =)))
in simple words Ken ... X10I/A doesnt have a custom ROM yet .. its still under R&D by our skiiled mates.. have some paitence and wait and maybe if u dont get burned for all the previous posts.. do keep checking back
I'm glad that he doesn't see it as wasting our time
But the developments are going strong. I even read in a topic about the rooting of the Desire that Modaco will buy an X10 and try to root this (but this is just a rumour)

Hi, anyone knows is it possible to flash X10 with WM6.5 rom?
I was wondering is it technically possible?

Since root hasn't been accomplished yet, not much customization of the X10 is possible.......but why would you ever want WM6.5 on an Android phone!?!?!?
Why would you buy an Android phone if you prefer WM......
WM is such an old and crappy OS, and I doubt WM7 will be any better, MS should just get out of the mobile game........

When did you last play with a WinMo phone ? Seems like you must have done so ages ago.. The new winmo 6.5 with HTC Sense runs just as smooth as Android does.. And i tried both systems.. So really, your reply is very colored..

Ya, I've played with WM 6.5 and Sense on my HTC Touch, and I won't disagree that it looks and runs very simliar, but that's just the home screen, underneath it all, it's still WinMo......
I was a die hard WinMo fanboy back when there wasn't too many other options, but I don't think anyone will disagree when I say WinMo doesn't compare to Android.
Does HTC even make WinMo handsets anymore? I think the last one was the Touch Pro 2, and that was a while ago.....
Don't get me wrong I'm not a WinMo hater, but I just think there is way better options out there today.......

Ya, so did I, and win 6.5 on a Touch is not even close to whats on actual devices. The touch version is stripped and is a farcry from what the HD2 winmo offers. It's very different.
However, I also think droid is thee best OS around and love it. It's a shame we are stuck with 1.6 atm and until Q4 according to Sony, but hopefully that will change soon with the talented individuals here at XDA workin hard at getting the x10 rooted.

I'm sure once they come out with root officially for the X10, the mini probably won't be far behind.
I really hope so..
Anyway if anyone got some news it's better

Android?

Haha, i know the phone is new, but just wondering what are the chances of an android project starting for the HTC Mozart?
Cant wait, i dont really like winmo 7,
Bring on the the Droid pls guys

Why did you buy it if you didnt like it? If you want Android on a handset buy a handset with it on it.
Makes no sense to me to buy something unless you like it.

geez, calm down mate -.-
i bought the Mozart coz I got it on a deal. I very sceptical about WP7 (though I'm hoping to write some apps for it).
Android looks pretty cool and I've wanted to try it out for some time now. Looks like i'll be stuck with WP7 though :/
at any rate, it was an innocent question. take a chill

I am a bit angry because in all wp7 forums the first what is asked when they can expect android on it , and it are almost all junior members .
they have to read first and then ask/post something .
personal , I hope android will never be ported to wp7 .
Agreed with ameel, simple questions.

[Q] Huawei Boulder 8350 : more recent Android version ?

Hi,
I've looked around the forums and haven't found an answer to that. I'm a complete noob concerning Android phones, so sorry if my question is silly (or already has an answer somewhere).
It's quite simple : I wanna buy a Huawei Boulder 8350 for my girlfriend. It's got almost the perfect offer for her as it seems to be very good for its price tag.
I just wanna know : is it possible to install newer Android versions on it ? It is advertised as a Froyo 2.2 phone, but it would be cool to put Gingerbread or even a newer droid version on it.
If yes, is it doable via a simple update on the phone or does it have to be "hacked" or something ?
Thank you very much.
Please ? Anyone ?

Hello nitwo,
For the moment, there is no new version of Android for this cell.
Some people have noticed that the u8350 is sold under the name of "Express from Sprint" with a gingerbread 2.3 version. But sprint is using CDMA and in europe we're using GSM. Maybe a port is possible.
Also, officialy there is no Android 2.3 for this cell, and some websites are reporting that we're never going to see an official 2.3.
Maybe, we're going to have a 2.3 version, but not officially. But, we need to wait for the community ...
Btw, for 45euros in france (with Bouygue cash back), this is a pretty nice phone.
Any news ?
