So the new firmware for Xperia E Dual with JB is being pushed around the world, finally.
I'msearching something to do for the summer, and learning some android could only be good, so I thought why not ask for this?
I have a Tipo Dual, it's great with Gimlo, but Sony's update policy is kinda disturbing.
Since E Dual is a very similar phone, do you think that we could cook E's firmare to suit are Tipos?
I'm willing to try some of this out (after exams), but first I wanted to ask the pros here:
Is it even viable, let alone difficult?
With custom kernel probably

Yeah, that's what I was thinking In the first place.
There is Vengence, but don't know if it will interoperate with JB.
Cant' wait to have some time to look into it. In the meantime, If anybody has ideas or pointers, post away.
It is not problem in rom, it is in kernel 3.4. And FXP are trying to port it right now.

Greetings xda,
I was thinking about porting the stock j.b. rom of the xperia e to tipo, because it's a nice rom, with a very nice UI, and also it could be a good upgrade for the xperia tipo, with an "official sony" touch. Since both phones are much alike in specs (they have same amount of ram, almost the same cpu, same screen, same gpu and same camera) I consider that this could be possible. So here's my question: how hard can it be? And also what would I need to make the port on an xperia tipo? Note that I'd like to port the official stock, generic one (rootable, if possible), with no modifications like UI, etc.
Your post is in the wrong section. . I report to modeators to move to Q/A
As will be moved there by the moderator if you answer.
Sure. No problem.
I have found a method of porting a pre-rooted rom's files from a phone to a computer (here's the page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49766028). Could I do something similar to make the port I'm interested in?
Well, i'm trying to port the Xperia E Jelly Bean rom, using as base CM10 for Tipo, i dont know if it will work, but i'll try....
I just have a question, how can i port a kernel from xperia e (for example) and make it bootable in tipo? Have you got any guide?? i readed in the web but nothing!

Porting a kernel? Is that even possible? Do you have any experience? Porting a newer Android version requires a lot of skill, and you'll walk into a lot of errors. My advice would be to wait for the Tamsui team to fix and release CM11! Those people know what they are doing.

xperia E, worst choice to port anything
Hey guys,
I have to stay with this oldie for a while; can you point me to the newest CM kernel(download link) for the c1505?
Any ROMs you recommend for this device( also, point me to the download!)? Is there MIUI for this device?
One more thingng, I can't find how they call this device + the merged forums make it difficult to find device-related info- is it Sony E or Sony Ex? I bought it as a replacement phone and I have no idea what I'm dealing with here. ^^''' It's always about J or Tipo or miro- not much for c1505. Ain't sure...
Thanks!

Hi!
I don't recommended to use the CyanogenMod kernel because you have to use it only with CyanogenMod ROM and it's buggy (GSM bug in CyanogenMod 10 and camera bug in CyanogenMod 11).
If you want a good, stable and bug free ROM you can try 11.3.a.0.47 deodexed and Odexed stock based with a bIt customization with Zeus Kernel.
I think that you have already unlocked the bootloader, right?
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.

Nope, didn't figure out how to do it myself- I always get the 'cannot be unlocked the official way' message. I gave up. It always worked for me, never had any trouble, dunno why it doesn't work with this peace of beep. *cries*
Well, I'm not a fan of CM myself- I just figured out CM would be there for taking on this device. Wasn't so sure about other options.
Thanks for the ROM! Gonna check it out- hope there's no gapps there.
Hi Guys , I just wanted to ask are there any custom roms for the sony xperia z3 dual d6633 yet ?
anyone?
damn, thats cold. I would also like one of these...

I did not try custom ROMs on D6633 yet, I'll wait until Sony stops support beyond Marshmallow and then I'll play. Current modified rooted stock ROM's provide enough customizability that unless pure custom ROM offers amazing new features I am not desperate for custom ROM just yet. I use 3rd party launcher and couple of MODs and I am happy for now.
There are few modified stock ROM's you might wanna try, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/rom-23-4-1-232-t3226948
or this one:

Hi there. I'd like to ask our fellow developers if they would be able to port PA 4.6 from Z2 to our Z3. If i am informed correctly there shouldn't be so much work as Z2 and Z3 are pretty much identical. @slipsystem, @Myself5, @Alx31TLse and @Untouchab1e. slipsystem has developed an patch for stock roms. Wouldnt be something similiar possible with aosp roms like PA? Thanks in advance for your replies.

I'd love to help out but unfortunately, the little spare time I have is spent on CM12 at the moment Im afraid. Good luck though

Let's hope that this awesome ROM wont stay ignored by other developers. However, i guess you could say (being developer) if it would be hard to do this.

I know very little about Paranoid Android so I cant really say, but yes, the Z3 and Z2 are very similar, the only tricky part really is rild, but it should be fairly straight forward to port it, yea.
I will have a look into it. But the Patcher will only work on stock roms as custom roms require a custom kernel. I will see if I am able to port pa using cm as a Base. I cannot build pa from source as I don't have a good enough Internet connection.

Hey I had a look at CM 11 Development .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/orig-development/rom-unofficial-cm11-xperia-z3-t2892718
so the following features wont work in PA ether
Camera
Audio
RILD
Probably a lot more...
I will try to port it anyways just to test my skills. but in order for those features to work I need a functional CM11 build to work from.
Although it sounds bad, i guess theres nothing you can do. But, if you are trying to build from cm instead of aosp, it means that pa5 should be portable right? As we have a "fully" functional cm12
