WOW! i couldnt believe that SE would be so open about this...
this info was released by SE Developer Blog... and i must say its very good info for developers (especially those who are working on custom kernel development)...
How to build a Linux kernel and flash it to the phone
it seems to be specifically for Xperia 2011 lineup devices but i think some components can be used even for X10...
something very interesting:
"The ARM cross-compiler. A cross-compiler is used to build ARM binaries on a different architecture, such as x86. This allows you to compile software (such as the kernel) into a format that the device can run. We recommend getting the CodeSourcery Lite compiler, especially the GNU/Linux variant, as you’ll need that if you want to build binaries for a full-blown Linux system on the device later. However, any EABI ARM compiler capable of compiling the Linux kernel should be enough for this step."
one of the SE devs actually posted this on Xperia Arc Android Dev thread:

Note: Replace/opt/arm-2010q1 with where you installed your cross-compiler. Also, this example is for Xperia™ PLAY. Replacedefconfig with the following values depending on what device you want to configure it for: Xperia™ PLAY semc_zeus_defco Xperia™ arc semc_anzu_defco Xperia™ neo semc_hallon_defco

its not that straightforward... u will have to trace this defined variable among all files and check the corresponding configuration values...
also the latest Xperia devices are based on QSD8255 SoC chipset... our X10 is based on QSD8250 (older generation Snapdragon)... so u will have to search for QSD8250 specific config (values of variables) to compile this...
u can check the 2.6.29 kernel sources for X10 to get QSD8250 specific config/codes...
EDIT:
btw the kernel in latest Xperia devices is 2.6.32
for starters u can just try compiling 2.6.29 kernel released by SE for X10
FreeXperia project is already working on modded 2.6.29 kernel and they have plans for porting 2.6.32 for X10... so if u have some experience in compiling kernels/porting kernels between devices then contact jerpelea

Another excellent thread from the DooMLoRD Thanks mate!
This is a dev thread. Do not install this release unless you know what you're doing. Do not post if you have nothing to contribute.
This is very early build, we're behind other qsd8k devices but will eventually catch up
Big thanks to all qsd8k developers working on this (N1, Desire, HD2, X10).
[KERNEL]
- ol' good 2.6.29-SEMC
- fixed touchscreen driver (now backward-compatibile with Gingerbread)
[ROM]
- partially based on drewis release (thanks!) - currently I don't have access to PC that could handle compilation of the whole thing
If someone could compile clean es209ra build and upload it would be awesome.
[WORKING]
- it boots
- radio, calls, txt (sms)
- audio partially working (in-call is fine, playing mp3/ringtones leads to WLOD)
- bluetooth, GPS seem to work
- wifi almost working ("can't find wlan0 device")
- mobile data (it gets IP but disconects afterwards, needs investiagtion)
[NOT WORKING]
- most of the stuff does not work
- quite unstable
[SOURCES]
Will upload all of the useful code/fixes here.
- ICS + GB compatibile touch driver: es209ra_touch_mt.c
- compatibile ramdisk (props FXP): http://www.mediafire.com/?1n51pn1upwv79ur

Finally we get it. aZuZu is working on ASOP ICS 4.0.1. This may help him work easier. So with locked bootloader, can we flash cause' you wrote there CWM5?

hi zdzihu, its great to see you back! is this only temporary or, are you going to be more active, like before?
mmmkay, I'm not dev, but I want to ask if you're compiling this from ground up (like Jerpelea's CM7), or you're like just mashup of current SE and ICS sources. if its a mashup, I can help. but I do very little design from ground up things.

if you have fixed audio hw sources i could recompile..
altho i have complete es209ra compile with ics hw, old cm gralloc / copybit sources and generic audio..

As i came from night shift i will try later on more...
Here you are libhardware.so, libhardware_legacy.so & wpa_supplicant from my compiled ICS build so if someone can boot z rom maybe it could test this too

Hi Azuzu, I am able to compile single libs and binaries (libhw_legacy, supplicant), it's just dex and stuff causing problems (1GB of ram + 1.6GHz). As for libaudio, I will take a look soon

I help if u want
Hello guys, I'm new to the forum and I hope to see well with you.
I would be willing to help compile the source since EXCLUSIVELY use only Linux operating system and is much easier to work on programming because most of the libraries are already installed by default, I hope I was clear.

so good
I will try to build ICS this weekend!
I have no time this weekday
Zdzihu, if the wifi still reports the same error (can't find wlan0 device), it probably means that the kernel refers to wlan interface as eth0. Try changing the wifi.interface entry in build.prop to eth0.
little help for folks that compile ICS on weak pc
make: *** [out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/noproguard.classes-with-local.dex] Killed << if processes during compile get killed try this script > Fix Swap
Well to me helped so maybe it helps other ppl.
Has anyone pulled this Kernel apart, i'm trying to lock down some of the touch screen info but I can't gunzip the ICS ramdisk...not even sure if i should be able to.
I GPIO the main files out, can't see anything pertinent in there, so I can only assume its in this ramdisk...biggest problem is that if it is a corrupted archive I can't get ubuntu to open a recovery tool cos it's implementation of the Zlib system sucks dice

sorry for posting here. but is for development. for ICS, can we used modified 2.6.29, and modify, like what zdzihu did, it so it 100% or do we have to use 3.x (or whatever) becuase I'm starting to do kernel mods and I want to see what I can contribution.
so in all, does the newest kernel have to be ported? or can we continue using good old 2.6.29 and keep Modding it? (hopefully camera will work, drivers have to be rewritten for kernel. and no one likr to write drivers)

Who are you? Well glad you asked. I am CedArctic founding member of the Pear Crew team on XDA. Our team is dedicated to develop custom software for any Android device that falls into our hands. In the past we flooded the HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD/X-Arc/Neo/V/Play/Desire S/mT4G/... forums with custom ROMs and other ports and mods. And today we present you with our first build for the Xperia Z3. The Android M Developer Preview Kernel. Compiled for the Xperia Z3, this kernel can bear the weight of the M Dev Preview (thread coming up for that ASAP) we just figured out we should post the kernel separately. If anyone wants to use the kernel for his ROM he can feel free to do so, just message me in advance and give proper credit.
Warning
This kernel is still in ALPHA, as a matter of fact so is Android M. I do not take any responsibility for what may occur by using it. Also this only works for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS.
Installation:1. Download the kernel image (see downloads section)
2. Get any kind of fastboot/adb installation (either download android SDK-too much work / or you can download minimal adb and fastboot from XDA)
3. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed for the Xperia Z3
4. Make a full backup of everything
5. Open up the command prompt to your minimal adb installation (or if you have android SDK just open the command prompt)
6. Put your Xperia Z3 into fastboot mode (shut it down, then hold down the volume down button and connect it to the PC via the USB cable
7. Type fastboot flash boot and then drag in your boot.img should look like this: fastboot flash boot (location of boot.img) and then hit enter.
8. The kernel will flash and you can use it with any Android M Dev Preview ROM (mine is currently uploading- keep an eye out for it)

Oh really sorry for that. First time using MEGA. I'll update the link including the decryption key in a couple of minutes.

Hi, will this work on Sony's 6.0 concept preview ? Can we flash SU with this kernel (permissive)?
I don't know whether it is compatible with sony's concept... and the kernel is not permissive. So no flashing SuperSu on top of it.

Use SELinux Mode Changer to change to permissive ...you need to be rooted though
Keep in mind that this was built for Sony's M Preview (which was a weird version of Lollipop and M together), NOT Sony's Concept for Android - Marshmallow...
Sailfish OS 4.4.0.72 for Sony Xperia 1 and 5
These release notes cover Sailfish OS 4.4.0.72 for the following devices:
Sony Xperia 1 (J8110, J9110)
Sony Xperia 5 (J8210, J9210)
Intro
This port has been updated last to the latest release of Sailfish OS 4.4.0.72 in addition to that several adaptation bugs discovered in the testing of the first release have been fixed.
Also several documentation updates or buildinfrastructure changes have been made.
Updates to these project components are now tracking in the main bug tracking repository SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs/releases.
The highlights in this release are:
[prjconf] Fix pattern dependencies. Fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#55, fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#59
[patterns] Require ngfd >= 1.4 instead of ngfd-plugin-native-vibrator. Fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#69
[configs] Keep dual sim configs on J9210/Xperia 5, remove on J8110. Fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#51
[kickstart] Fix @DEVICES@ name for Xperia 5/J9210 in flash-on-windows. Resolves SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#50
Thanks to all who have provided testing, reported bugs or have contributed otherwise.
FunctionalityThe devices have the same functionality level as the Xperia 10 II port made by Jolla,
except in areas such as VoLTE where public packages are missing or in relation to Sailfish X features which are (currently) unavailable.
Known issues
SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#33
Because of a missing package inside the adaptation-common repository Windows binaries for flashing are missing inside the zip archive. To workaround that issue have added another zip file that includes these files as "droid-flashingtools.zip" to this release.
SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#37
The launcher icons on the Xperia 1 are to small because there's no bigger graphics-theme size than 2.0.

About
The goal of this project is to port additional Sony devices on top of Jolla's existing adaptations while staying as close as possible to the existing ports and contributing back to the upstream where possible.
Most of the changes from Jolla ports are adopted in both directions since the issues that one port has usually apply to the sister device of the same generation (e.g. Xperia 10 II -> Xperia 1/5).
This is the reason why changes from Jolla’s port end up in the changelog for these port,
in many cases because they also affect the specific port but not always.
Where possible changes that were done for this port go back to the _Mer-Hybris_ repositories such as the kernel or droid repositories.
The project is open for anyone that wishes to port additional Sony devices to Sailfish OS. Feel free to suggest new features, provide bug reports or to contribute.
SourcesAny sources specific to this port can be found inside the project linked above. The device repositories are named after the devices board name for example in this case kumano.
All our sources are included inside the project linked above.
All other sources are taken unpatched from upstream which is either Sony-AOSP or SailfishOS/mer-hybris.
If changes are needed inside upstream repositories these are submitted to the upstream repositories.
This GPL includes components such as the kernel or libhybris.
On pressure of XDA I add the direct link to the kernel repository, however the exact ref used during build
can be found inside the droid-hal repository, which in the case of the Xperia 1 for example, droid-hal-kumano.

Great job, thanks for making the port! Does it have Android app support? If it does I'll definitely give it a try, I saw on the SailfishOS official website that only the paid version can run Android apps...
Edit: I see why now, because of the very very long term support that you get, it's like 7 years of updates for a bit of money, that's pretty good.
just try to use on my device.
its first time for me using Sailfish OS.
but.
when i turn off the phone, and try to turn it on, it asks for the security code, after i enter the security code, it just loading in quite a long time,
then, simcard and wifi didnt works.
I can confirm, that neither data connection nor WiFi works.
Without any data such as logs I can't help you. Please create a bug in the bugtracker.
Please also make sure that you flash the version that matches your device.
Please follow this article to fetch logs:
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013910599-Collecting-basic-logs-from-a-Sailfish-device
You can also try to flash the new images, I will add tomorrow.
I updated the release archives today:
Package ngfd as `CUSTOM_’ FFMemless vibration effects require newer version than packaged in SailfishOS 4.4.0.
Fix issue in ssu-vendor-data package that made the address of the adaptation repository invalid. [BUG] address of adaptation repo is invalid #49
I've installed Sailfish and its working fine. But i dont find access to install android apps. Is there a way to install APKs?

First of all, many thanks for your reply - very appreciated!
Yes, I've downloaded and flashed the appropriate version (J9210, Xperia 5, DualSim). As I've bought this device as a new one about 2 years ago, I've used it that time, and it worked. The bootloader was already opened; it was rooted, because of some rooting apps.
Therefore, it was not necessary to check, if data connection, wifi, gps, camera and so on works, because it worked.
I flashed sailfish os (with the latest software binaries, Android 10, Kernel 4.14 - as in the op described [the extracted .img I've placed in the same folder as your firmware, of course]) via Linux Mint.
The device boots up flawlessly, the screen is responding without any problem, and also the intro worked.
But I can't activate wifi. I can push the button, and it responses, but it don't activates wifi. Also, my sim card won't be recognized, therefore there's no chance to enter the sim pin.
So there's a few questions:
You write "please follow this article to fetch logs", but without a link... I guess, it's not like fetching logs in android? So would you please tell me, how I can do that, to provide you the log?
Or is it necessary to buy a Yolla licence? No problem, I would pay for it, but the Xperia 5 isn't listed yet on your homepage...
Thanks in advance for your kind reply!
P.S.: Yes, I've tried it 4 times (went back to the latest Sony fw), and the last time I've flashed the latest Sony fw even on slot a and b before flashing Sailfish OS again (the latest [1.06] for the Xperia 5 Dual Sim variant), but unfortunately every time with the aforementioned result...

I've only extracted the zip, but not the .img, ofc. Then I put the Software Binaries.img into the same folder as the firmware and run ./flash.sh

The Xperia 5 firmware I've flashed is the J9210_Customized EU_55.2.A.4.332-R13C one. I'll flash it again and give SF OS another try. Perhaps it failed because my Xperia 5 was rooted and debloated; I also had AFWall+, the Xposed framework and XPrivacyLUA installed. I don't know...
Right after flashing the aforementioned fw I will test GPS, mobile data, wifi and so on, and will keep everything turned on before flashing SF OS - maybe it will work?

I want to try it again, but it's a shame if it's without a simcard or wifi.
Well, now I've flashed the J9210_Customized EU_55.2.A.4.332-R13C fw, played around with data connection, wifi, bluetooth, camera, and everything worked.
Then I tried to install SF OS via Windows 10 64 bit, but there must be a mistake inside the script. I definitely own a Xperia 5 dual-sim (J9210)!!!!!!! But: Please have a look into the attached pic...
Then I tried to flash SF OS running Linux Mint (latest stable release); the flash ran through without any error, but again: No WiFi, no data connection.
I'm about to give up!!!
One note:
I've flashed so many devices, mostly LineageOS, but also Ubuntu Touch, and never had any problem like that - unfortunately, it's annoying...

Then I tried to install SF OS via Windows 10 64 bit, but there must be a mistake inside the script. I definitely own a Xperia 5 dual-sim (J9210)!!!!!!! But: Please have a look into the attached pic...
Then I tried to flash SF OS running Linux Mint (latest stable release); the flash ran through without any error, but again: No WiFi, no data connection.
I'm about to give up!!!
One note:
I've flashed so many devices, mostly LineageOS, but also Ubuntu Touch, and never had any problem like that - unfortunately, it's annoying...

Isually use Linux to flash but also should have checked the Windows flash script.
Please edit the batch script you called and replace j9210 with J9210.
I just fixed the issue but for now just change the flash script for Windows:
[BUG] Device is invalid in windows flashing script for Xperia 5/j9210 · Issue #50 · SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs
The @[email protected] in the kickstart script is written as j9210 but it should be J9210.

Thank you very much for the response - and your efforts, ofc!
Finally: It works
I had not to flash the latest firmware (doesn't work), but a rollback to the J9210_Customized EU_1320-0801_55.1.A.9.52_R10B fw before flashing Sailfish OS did the trick!
