[IDEA/QUESTION] Porting Gingerbread from new Xperia Mini - XPERIA X8 General

Sony Ericsson announced successor of Xperia Mini and Mini Pro.
These two phones will come with gingerbread on it...
So, could it be possible to port ROM's from these phones to our X8?
I'm aware of hardware differences but both are Xperia...
And it's so dammmmmmmn beautifullll...
Your opinions related to porting?
Announced 2011, May

From what it looks like, it will be based on a new arm cpu, which is not compatible with msm7227, so it will be very difficult to port its os to mini/x8 phones.

The only thing I'm waiting for is that tasty four corner launcher. Mmmmmmm...

Yeah, me too, but if it will be like the old one, with one widget per homescreen, it's just as pointless as the old version... Besides, want folders? Use GO launcher

GO launcher is laggy and drains battery fast, also app drawer isn't transparent anymore.
****!

Do you think that it could be an update for x8?

Iphone OS

Recently a hacker successfully installed Android 1.5 on the Iphone 2G. Is the opposite possible? (Android running Iphone OS)
alpha124
Only Apple knows how to do it. And they won't.
But in theory they could use ANY hardware. But they won't.
Why do you want to run IPhone OS on different hardware in the first place?
because we can?

If you manage to get ouch-phone OS (if you where to translate "iPhone" phonetically to Swedish you'd get the equivalent to "ouch-phone") running on other hardware than the fruit company's own hardware I'd take my hat off...

same here
I'd like to see someone try! Even maybe an iPhone theme for Sense would be pretty cool, in an ironic way of course.
android is open source, so it's much more adjustable, therefore it's more "easy" to get it to work on the iphone, than the opposite.

yeah I also thought of that, but was kinda hoping it would somehow work.
I'm fairly sure it's possible, but I don't think it's possible to do it with full functionality.
well I would be happy if I can make and receive calls
Even if it is possible I am sure that the OS has a built in check to confirm it is running on their hardware.
I don't know if this counts, but...

Is it as smooth as the I-phone ?

Can't wait, cyanogenmod 7?
Niiice! Can't wait!
Gotta love cyanogen mod
On another note, I hate getting all that dust around the screen in that ridge.
AWESOME! - if this gets out of release candidates in the near future, they'll recieve a nice bonus from me
Awesome but...2.6.32 kernel?I thought Gingerbread used like 2.6.35 or something...

I'm pretty sure it does too. I suppose you could easily edit the build.prop to show the Android version as 2.3.1
Yep you can definitely edit the build.prop to show this. Just look at my Android 3.0 DHD.

Likewise, but I find my electric razor's 'lil brush does wonders for removing the dust from nooks and crannys.

You could indeed, but when your a member of team cyanogen which kali is, and responsible for maintaining the desire and Desire HD builds would you? (original source http://twitter.com/#!/Kalozzo/status/16522866405154818)
That screenshot isn't from Kali.
Ok, I take it back, just done a little more digging.
Will this be available as an automatic system update or only as a custom ROM?
Closed as there is an existing thread with this topic on Dev area...

Latest HTC Sense Rom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g
here is a link to a video of the review of the HTC Evo 3D and i couldnt help but notice how badass the new sense UI was with the endless cube screen switch animation, and the lockscreen and even some of the widgets.
IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN PORT THIS UI OVER?!?!?!?
Yes, but i don't think many people are behind porting sense or willing to do it.
I know they guy who is working on MIUI is also working on sense.
This shouldv'e been in General IB4TM
I have just 3 things to say:
1. There is a Sense UI port under way if you had bothered to search.
2. This definitely doesn't belong in development.
3. Typing in all caps is incredibly annoying.
I Agree and i have added appropriate tags for this thread
for one i didnt tag the "tags"..i have no idea where they came from, and two ive tried searching and this forum keeps saying it doesnt show the information. idk how to find it

For one, the Sense UI has to be available to port first...the one from the EVO 3D isn't leaked yet

[Q] [Q/Port]Sony Ericsson Xperia X3

Hey All!!
Just Been browsing about and all and i found a new concept phone for the Sony range. X3... Is it possible to port the software/make one of our roms into a look alike. Like before the w8 came out there was a look a like before the actual rom was released?
Link : http://gizmodo.com/5319495/android+based-sony-ericsson-xperia-x3-full-specs-and-large-images
The screenshots look like its running the same as the Satio but it is claming to be a android based.

lolz, xperia x10 is rumored to be xperia x3.
x3 = x10
I think its just an early proto type from Rachel!

Thats what i mean i would like to see the early prototype of rachel on our devices like the status bar the time in the middle and stuff, I recon it would look pretty cool!
Just saw this:

It looks pretty nice.
But as always, SE forgot us again.......
EDIT: WAIT!!! The video was posted a year ago! Maybe Rachael was a prototype for X10.

But there are still some kinks in Oxygen and maybe we could use some official Gingerbread code to fix that

And i think too, that 2.3 will not make it run faster. Yes 2.2 wins hands down versus 2.1. Maybe it will help to use phone more because of improved power management, but in performance area i think there will be no improvements that user can feel.
It's just our desire to get latest and greatest.. but as with windows happens - the latest is not always the greatest..rather apposite i'd say
