Xperia X2 - Android?

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody has any tweaks for the X2? X1 tweaks do not seem to work.
Also, more importantly I was wondering if Android can be ported to the X2 device?
Is any working on X2 related development? although I would have thought X1 developments would worn on X2 as they are effectively the same device (as I understand it to be)
Can anyone point me in the right direction? give advice?
Thanks in advance

I am also interested if Android can be ported to the Xperia X2 device. Have you found any information on this subject? Thank you.

[Q] ow to Port Device Specific Applications to Other Devices?

Hey,
After playing around with the Xperia Arc system dump, I am interested in learning how to port some of the applications to other android devices. I thought maybe some of them would work on at least the X10, but apparently not.
I've seen success stories on people porting over the Droid X Multitouch keyboard to nearly every other android device.
I'm just wondering how this is done? Can anyone provide some insight/knowledge on the matter?
Thanks!
Wasn't sure whether to put this is the other section, or this one...so I guess I'll let the mods device

[Q] Aino to Android possible???

So, my friend owns a Sony Ericsson Aino phone and he's starting to envy my xperia x8 with custom Android 2.2 ROM. Now he's wondering, is it possible to run any Android version in an Aino?
BUMP!!
Please can someone help?
Hi, I think that Sony Ericsson Aino & Satio, doesn't have any posibility to run Android.
I only know, and happily have one, HTC HD2 is the only NO native Android phone, that became an Android fully operational phone.
I have also a Samsung Omnia Pro, and I tried the Andromnia project, but doesn't work fine, only a few accesories works, and is not a fuctional phone.
Bye.

[Q] Porting for Xperia mini to HD2

Hi I have a HD2 with custom Winmo Rom and an android sd setup. It's all working fine and great but my wife has an xperia mini pro and I really love the UI. The homescreen and general layout are so clean and looks good.
I was wondering if it's possible to port the mini pro's os and make it compatible with the HD2?
If so some advice would be helpful. I followed the sticky to the guides but the links wouldn't work.
Thanks in advance

Sony Xperia Z — New Android and Z5 User...

Morning all,
I have a Z5 being delivered tomorrow
I've been a Windows Phone user for the past 4 years, and prior to that iPhone, but never android - this is a new adventure!!
I have a few questions below, but mostly i'd just like people to post any tips for a new user that might be specific to the Z5 - there are loads of 'new android user' guides around but they all seem generic and quite low level...
Things that i'm interested in:
1) Is marshmallow out yet? If not, when can I expect it and how will i get it
2) What is rooting, and what benefits does it really give me?
2a) Can I install stock android on the Xperia Z5 by rooting? People seem to tell me that Stock is better than the stuff added by some manufacturers...
3) I'm primarily a microsoft services user (Outlook.com Email & Calendar / OneDrive / MS Band) - am I going to be able to as fully integrate these things as they were on Windows Phone?
Thanks!

Hi.
1- more than likely you'll have to plug it in to a pc to get the update
2- root gives you access to the system, on the Z5 i personally wouldn't bother yet
2a - Sony is pretty much stock and not full of bloat
3- they have apps available so i assume all will be good

Can I ask why you say not to bother on the Z5 (and why 'yet')?
Just trying to fully understand the pros and cons

Better to wait for root for locked bootloader, because you will need to unlock it if you want to root it now. Sony really loves to put their drm keys in there and if you unlock it, you'll lose the camera algorithms, bionz engine, x-reality and many more features. I prefer waiting than unlocking the bootloader.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to add locks teen widgets? Reading around it seems this was disabled in marshmallow...
