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.

Hi everyone, i would like some advice.
I am coming from a vast amount of HTC phones (i love HTC, great phones), latest one was touch HD but i broke it (up until then, its my longest serving phone without me getting rid of it).
I am looking at alternatives, and thinking andriod (wouldnt do iphone, tho the apps would be great!)
Anyway, i use my phone mainly for emails, web browsing and playing content over my network through UPNP and windows shares.
How would i cope with Andriod in this situation, do apps exist for these?
In your opinion, which phone do you think is best and if you were me, which would you go for?
I am favouring HD2, simply as i know windows, run custom firmware on it and love the hd! Andriod is an unknown for me, can i install custom firmwares on that?
Maybe andriod onto the HD2?!?!?!
Thanks for any help.

funny... i'm opposite of you.
I've been a Sony Ericsson fan for several years now. I currently have the Xperia X1 and introduced to the world of Windows Mobile.
I'm trying to decide also between the HD2 and the X10.
HD2 runs winmo and the X10 runs android.
Switching to the HD2 would break me from being a SE fan and going with X10 would break me from winmo... haha. Still not sure which to choose from.
Hi guys, i need your help, i must choose between this two phones, HTC TATOO or SONY ERICCSON XPERIA X10 MINI. I like a lot htc tatoo doubt to its interface and because i've also tried it, but also xperia x10 mini is quicker and with better photo camera than tatoo, it is also heard that there will be soon a froyo update for xperia... this is a mess. In adition what about market place app it will be limited for xperia doubt to the small screen 2.55"?. I must take the decission by today or tomorrow. What would you choose as experienced user, tatoo or xperia x10 mini??
Your help will be highly appreciated!!!!
My suggestion would be xperia mini/pro . touch screen is good, 5mp camera with AF and flash(tattoo lacks AF), video recording upto 30fps(tattoo 14fps).
i used almost 70apps in the market(only swype not working). AGPS, good x10 uI.
no doubt this will be the best mid range android phone.
soon expecting android 2.1 update and HD video recording
Hi!
thanks for your reply, after waiting and getting that nobody replied i finally went to a shop to see x10mini in a shop. I noticed this phone is a really small one, with a really small screen also that can make you difficult to manage in the touch screen, so i finally decided to go on with tatoo i know is a bit older but i think is a good smartphone.
Hi everyone,
First, i'm new here, and I love this site
Second, I'm from Belgium, so if you can't read what I wrote, it's normal, I don't speak english very well.
Third, there is my question : could you make a list for me, with all mobile phones, in which i could put Cyanogenmod (and if i could root it of course). Because I'll maybe change my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 because i saw in another forum that it's impossible to make a Cyanogen for X10, and also because X10 is very late for updates (I'm on Android 1.6, 2.2 will be released in March 2010).
Thank you for your help

Ok thank you I'm sad xD
Do you think Cyanogen will never create a ROM for our X10 ?
And if not, are there other really nice ROMs for X10 ?
I don't think X10 has been rooted yet, so I don't know if you even load a Custom ROM or flash a new image.
SE said they will get Froyo for X10 in November(?), while keeping Eclair for the X10 mini, X10 mini pro etc. In another "unofficial interview", CEO of SE said that they are planning something big, I think this is a PSPhone since Sony had failed to even announce a PSP2.
I'm guessing that the rumour was true, and SE will announce a Froyo phone that will be able to accept Sony's memory cards and Sony will allow that device to enter the PSN (same as the PSP Go's Market). This phone will be a slide / tilt / flipout with the gamepad on the bottom, where the top layer is the touchscreen and SE's 3 buttons. I'm guessing it will be plastic and it will resemble the X10 (not a good thing).
It would probably have something powerful beneath it; definantly 1GB LDDR2 RAM (or more) + 1GHz A8 processor (or more) + SGX540 (or more).
I also think it will have a miniHDMI connector like the HTC EVO 4G, for presentation/gaming.
All in all, it will (have to) be better than all the smartphones on the market including the N900/Milestone2/GalaxyS/iPhone4 and it will definantly be expensive (on-par with the iPhone4 or even more expensive since Sony is a greedy company).
If you can shell-out for it, you won't be disappointed ... the Playstation name is too valuable to stain!
Thank you for your answer Ekin, even if I didn't understand everything
But on xda-dev on the forum, I found the way to root it, but I'm not going to do it if there is no ROM to add :'(
Thank you
Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
For Christmas Santa was very kind to me and gave me a Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro. It has a great keyboard, can record HD video, and has built in wi-fi. The one thing I absolutely hate about this phone is that it runs Symbian.
Some quick Googling showed me that it has not yet been done.
My question is, can android from some other Sony Ericsson Android phones be ported to the Vivaz pro?
Thanks,
Matt
I have the same probem. Symbian sucks;p
Sorry Guys. But There will never be a Android-Version for Vivaz. Maybe wait for Vivaz 2. This will be sold with android.
maybe when the vivaz 2 is out someone will port it to the original vivaz. hopefully
Can anyone post Android from Xperia PRO to Vivaz PRO ... I mean they both have HW keyboard so ... or is even anyone working on porting any Android on our Vivaz Pro? I d love to have android there ...
My friend has SE Vivaz mobile.. Is there any custom Android OS which can be installed on it.??
I've got same problem... I've found out that we can't install Android on our Vivaz, because it needs more than 74 MB of phone memory. I'm sorry to know it and I'm affraid we have to give up
Hello I'm new to this whole android thing and the forum so im sorry if i posted in the wrong area. Anyways i have a Sony Ericsson vivaz (pile of sh*t) which runs the Symbian ^1 (s60 v5) and i was wondering how to replace it with the android os. (don't need to be the latest version) I have read somewhere before the vivaz specs are similar to some android phone (x8 i think). Any help would be amazing as i still got over a year with this cr*p phone.
There's no way to replace symbian with android on the Vivaz. Sorry to break the bad news to you
not even with an earliest version of the android os?
anyway to replace or maybe upgrade the existing symbian os on the vivaz?

Not unless Sony decides to push out an update. I've owned three Nokia S60 handsets and one of my big complaints was that, aside from occasional bug fixes, S60 devices are stuck with the OS version they shipped with.
what a joke. as far as i am aware the symbian os is open source so surely someone could find a way to update the vivaz os
Symbian was open source (Nokia recently closed it again) but it's just the kernel and framework. All the apps that make up the ROM are definitely not open. Combine that with locked bootloaders and that's why Symbian hacking communities have never materialized.

I ain't got a clue to be honest but i know you can still download symbian sdks (however at at 200mb at least doesn't look very appealing). I cant wait for my contract to finish so i can get rid of this pile of sh*t they call VIVAZ!! Never buying a Sony Ericsson again that's for sure
