Windows mobile on a Sony Go, possible? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi there. I just talked to a friend and he said how awesome the mobile windows are.
Is there a way to install windows on a Sony Xperia Go?
if yes, anyone done so?
if yes, how is the performance of the phone? Is it worth it? Does battery last longer?
Your thoughts

Nearly absolutely impossible. Windows Mobile only supports a small range of very specific chipsets, using proprietary drivers.

Thread closed.
You could have asked this on the General Discussion thread for Xperia Go. There was no need to start a thread for this question buddy.

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i would love to see this happen because the OS that the Satio runs on is to out of date.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.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
:silly:
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.

[Q] About the possibilities

I do not know whether the subject was raised .... The phone itself has potential, but the software ANDROID definitely not to my liking, so I want to install windows mobile in X10i ... Maybe some expert help me in this operation? If no one did before I first

Hi.
Yes it has been raised a few times, some people would like to see it, some couldn't care less, and some think it's a completely ridiculous idea, but each to their own.
Windows Mobile on X10
Lmao if the phone has potential why would you want MS on it?
Sorry couldn't resist it.
Seriously though, if you want win mob then why buy an android phone?

[Q] Windows Phone 7 [Mango] ROM for Galaxy SII

Hello,
Some of you, or many, might have or might have not looked for a Windows Phone 7 Mango ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SII. I know I have.
However, to no avail, Google had failed me in my searches, and I couldn't find any, or maybe I've just failed. Also, I had a look around the forum, and again, there was no such luck. My guess ? Probably because there are none.
If that is the case, and developer working on such a ROM for the Galaxy SII ?Or, even, is there one already that is hiding from me, and from many others for that matter ?
never gonna happen, as its Closed source
Your post does beg a few questions...
Why not just go for a windows phone itself than such a ROM?
i am honestly refraining from saying something rude here...
If you are looking for a look and feel then here's some post on a theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288324
Please bear in mind that smartphones so far are more near to apple desktop/laptops than PC...
they can run OS from only one platform....
Not going to happen unless samsung put out a windows phone with similar hardware to the sgs2, and as wp7 has a very limited hardware spec which doesn't include the soc used in the sgs2 I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I usually express the same when people buy an Apple and would like to install Windows on it. Why not just get a laptop from the beginning ?
Anyhow, that's not the point. I've had my share of Windows phones [mobiles]. I first used a Windows Mobile 6.1 pro on my Samsung Omnia back in 2008. But, I didn't remain loyal to it. I am happy with my Android.
The point, is, or was, such as the HTC HD2, that is shipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, and can run Android, and also Windows Phone 7 [Mago too], thought maybe it could happen with the Galaxy SII.
It is not, however, going for a Windows Phone, but, it'd be nice trying it out without buying one. Not just the look and feel, sir.

That's because the HD2 has the same specs as the Desire HD (android) and HD7 (WP7)...

And microsoft were testing wp7 on hd2. In sure that's where the first rom came from. And that's why no other phones have had wp7 ports.

Let's Try To Make Enough Noise To Give The Live with Walkman (at least) a Subforum

Hey Ppl Let's Try To Make Enogh Noise to give the live a subforum instead of relying
on the Mini/Mini pro/Ray & Active subforum.
how are you going to do that?
By Keep posting and demanding that we need a sub forum and why. We need to be Aggressive

Thnx man
+1 for the idea!
Thnx man. Try to spread the word about this and the petition posted if u can
I agree because this device is new and I cant find something for my walkman because everything is for mini/pro/active

That's why we need a proper forum to work in development would be much better if we had the space of our own forum
Am I the only one who sees this as a redundant idea?
Why make a subforum for a device that is almost identical to the mini/mini pro/active, that so far has no development on it other than FXP. The only reason Xperia Ray has a different development subforum is because it has a completely different screen size, along with different internals. Instead of petitioning for a possibly completely empty subforum, try and help to fill up the already development-wise Mini/minipro/live/active subforum.
Splitting each device differently has various negative impacts. Since they are identical, most apps will work on all of these 4 phones. For example the 4x4 home. It works for all. The quick menu, etc etc etc. Having each phone in a different subforum will drive off people who can work between devices.

well these threads will get lost becaus off litle support, then what about adding the name to the forum of MINI/PRO/Active because maybe some devs can't find it on XDA
Yeah the Live isn't even in the name of the sub forum we at least need a a little recognition

New Section for Xperia Mini?

Hi all,
I've been on this site a while now and with my new phone, the Mini ST15i I noticed that it is bunched together with various other phones. With my last phone, it had a section to itself and it was MUCH easier to navigate. I understand that XDA won't be creating a new section for EVERY new phone, but if it's partially a matter of usage and partially requests, I would certainly like to ask XDA to create a new section for our Mini.
If you don't know much about what it looks like for other popular phones, it's something like:
Xperia Mini (ST15i)
General
Questions & Answers
Accessories
Development
I don't mind if it's a different format, just that we would have our own section. I DIDN'T see another therad like this when I wrote this, so is it partially a matter of demand? Would you be interested in this?
Themes and Apps
I will use this topic to bring out another issue:
Will there be an easy way to root xperia mini pro .62 firmware? Is someone working on it?
Couldn't find any thread about it.
I dont think so. You can try rooting with SuperOneClick( but i doubt it'll work on .62 FW).
Flashing custom kernel with root will work.
Sent from my Xperia Mini using Tapatalk
First, to the topic starter: In "About xda-developers.com" forum section, is being discussed over new sections of phones. Since Xperia Mini is not that popular and it doesn't have many custom stuff, it doesn't need own section. Yet, who knows, in future might it change.
Also, on the other hand, Xperia Mini has quite similar system as some other 2011 Xperia's, so it is easier for developers to create one topic of ROM/Kernel, which works for many phones.
To poster nomailx:
There is no exploit in .62 firmware, which would allow it to be rooted. Currently, you can either downgrade your firmware to a older one or flash a new kernel(lots of these can be found in Development section).
To poster duki994:
SuperOneClick does not root .62 firmware, as it uses the same exploit as every other Xperia rooting program, and that exploit is fixed, so that's why it does not work.
But the 2010 X10 Mini and X8 got their own sections...is the 2011 Mini really less popular??
Here is the proper place to vote for a phone to get it's own section. I voted. You simply reply to the post Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini +1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416406
lol its not worth it. i mean, mini and mini pro shares the same hardware/software except the hardware keyboard other than thats its all the same
Mini and Mini Pro is fine, yes they're near identical. But no other phones in the same section. Have you used the section of another phone on here? It's actually a pleasure to navigate through the sections. It's quite a task on the other hand in our section to find a rom that's for our phone, it's all jumbled up. Like I said, for anyone who has already used another section on this site, knows what I'm talking about.

Active, Live with Walkman, Mini and Mini Pro, all these use the same chipset and same hardware, just Live with Walkman has dual speakers and Mini Pro has keyboard etc.
Comparing hardware, we can also add Ray, Play and Arc, these also have same chipset, just 8MP camera etc.
OMG people read the post everyone in the world knows the hardware is similar, that is NOT what I talked about.

I'm with you on this one, partially though. Imagine having to control 4 different dev threads, with people spamming all over the place. It would be "nice", but not practical. Since most fixes work for all minis I suggest they keep them as they are.
X10 mini and x8 had different screen sizes.
Whats worse, they havent made a SE Xperia Pro thread at all...
