[Q] Android 3.0 on Xperia X8?

I have heard that some guys managed to port Android 3.0, better known as Honeycomb, to the G1, HTC Magic and to the Nexus One.
This are of course very beta versions, but the phones boot with it.
So, I wonder if someone could port 3.0 to our Xperia?
The HTC Magic and G1 were the first phones with Android, so our Xperia must be much better than them and, theoratically, it could work on it with just fewer lags than on the G1.
There are so many 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs available for our Xperia, so why not try to port 3.0?
If you think this is a stupid thread, just remove it, but I just wanted to know it.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

USE SEARCH FEATURE ON XDA AND YOU WILL FIND IT. Don't be lazy

You must be new here!

you will get burned at the stake by the guys here for opening such thread xD we are struggling to get a 100% bugless working android 2.2 and you bringing up android 3.0 which is meant for tablets with big screens xD lol
Edit : also such question is not meant to be in the dev section....

It was just a noob question...I also said that the versions for Nexus One, G1 and Magic are very beta versions.

There used to be an early version of Honeycomb somewhere here but the project has been abandoned. And no wonder - our kernel cannot even run Gingerbread without bugs, not to mention higher versions...

Even the kernel supports it, maybe phone will be too much laggy, as the HoneyComb suggests the need of 1.0Ghz processor, that is not our Case

So why they can run it on G1?
Does it have an unlocked bootloader, so you can flash a custom kernel?

Probably yes, Xperia stills locked and cannot boot custom kernels
Some dev are trying to make the bootloader bypass, but is not easy. :/

not easy and i think they already gave up

Graveir and aldee_s are right: someone has already ported it, but development is currently down.
here is the thread to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982384&highlight=honeycomb

Blagus was disappointed with that, the only one that i saw making some progress was maxfron, but I didn´t saw him anymore

That had it ported but far to laggy m8 r CPU 2 slow at the min but I think I may still have that download ill cheack for u and upload it if so
my civic

Is because our phone is not ARMv7 & above and the processor speed is not super fast..if u port it into x8 it will buggy & lags in all of the function

Lets wait for 2. 4 but google need so much time : #

There are already a few phones with Android 2.4 (not for sale, but someone somehow managed to get some)
Here is a youtube video, where you can see Xperia arc running 2.4:

This is fake he just editted the build.prob file!

You can edit this in build.prop?
Do you mean the line:
Code:
ro.build.version.sdk=8
, so you would only have to change the number?

I think new Android will be 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich"
Not 2.4

First of all, what about people like me without Facebook?
Second, how often do Facebook polls actually yield results?

Could not find the play on that list

could not find play on the list either, but man do I miss MIUI from my incredible.

there is no Xperia Play but vote for X10, once the x10 has miui it wont be to difficult to port it to Play/Arc/Neo

X10 has miui roms. I used to use one about 6 months ago when I had it

What is MIUI?

Google MIUI, or YouTube search it. It is Chinese based Android ROM that kind of a blend of iOS features and Android. The Theming and be able to change every single aspect of MIUI make it the number one desired ROM all on ANDROID PHONES. The INFUSE phones just got the ROM yesterday. First someone has to PORT CM7 over, then MIUI is possible. One you use a MIUI ROM, it is very hard to return to stock. I have it on my X10 mini, Captivate and Infuse, just waiting for it for my PLAY!

Which is why Miui is pronounced my-UI

I really hope MIUI comes to the play! Its the whole reason I would root my phone.

Am I missing something? I don't see the Play in that poll?

îWhaat?

I think this is a customized OS based on Android.
I owned a "Meizu M8" previously and this also had a similar looking OS. It was Windows Mobile 6 with some "apps" on top developed by Meizu (chinese cellphone company) that changed the whole look to what you see in the video above...
When I was leaving the Meizu scene there were some rumors about the next phone gen using Android as OS...
Oh and I don't recommend porting... It hasn't had that much additional functionality in the past and was full of bugs. Everytime two bugs where fixed four new ones appeared... This could be because of WM6 but I think it's also because of Meizu not being that experienced at developing (compared to Google/Apple). And of course it would be a hell of work to get this (chinese) thing adopted to western language - there were several compatibility issues although we had some very good coders working on it.

It does actually look good, anyone want to try it?

I'd like the widgets and the lock screen but the rest would depend on how well it preforms

Looks very nice!

it´s important

looks good, i ported it to desire s there is no network issue and some other issues.
maybe i can port it to desire hd, but i cant maintain the rom because i dont have desire hd

MIUI is now opensource!

I'm so happy to be the first to write this news!
It's something we all hoped for ages and now it's here!
MIUI, know as the coolest but the closest Android interface, finally went opensource.
Here's the official message from MIUI team on Facebook:
MIUI port projects officially go open source
http://www.micode.net/portal.php
Here you can find the information and source code you need to build an Android-compatible device. Android is an open-source software stack for mobile devices, and a corresponding open-source project led by Google. We created Android in response to our own experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make sure that there was no central point of failure, so that no industry player can restrict or control the innovations of any other. That's why we created Android, and made its source code open.

I'm still speechless for the huge event this represents!
Now we have not only a page (which is still in chinese) http://www.micode.net/portal.php
But a pubblic and matching the cyanogenmod way Github repository!! https://github.com/MiCode
Big day for Android! Big day for the community
Have a nice day!

Good news,

Agreed MIUI has the best file manager set up out there, looks great and functions great

Xiaomi is doing the right things, not all source codes are opened, but a big step though.

If that means that on every rom you could have miui apps
how do i install this apps?
or it will be available later?

Great now maybe I can get this on my Cliq

We already have miui locker, camera, compass, music apk files running on our roms. Whats the benefit of this? Will we be able to use MIUI themes in other Roms?

Looks like only a few apps are open. Moving along...

The file manager is flame! As long as that and the theme manager get ported, I am happy!

MIUI sourse is material 4 brainstorm )))

i'm from Xperia X8
i'm not a expert developer, but i'm seeing the code of FileManager and trying to build it for another roms, but i'm facing real problems, don't know why, still seeing.
My intention is to make it work (of course) and make it in PT-PT and MDPI (and maybe LDPI)
But this is a pain in the *you know what*
i hope i face the problems and the solutions
edit: it is missing the net.micode.fileexplorer.R (r.java file?). am i wrong?

Great news ever...

Great nice to hear that... but changed that anythink?

HTC Vision YouTube ROM Showcase

-Nov. 4 2015-
I have this phone back in my hands yet again, got my mum a new phone since she hates Android. I may or may not decide to continue this series, I probably will since I'm going to start doing so on the Moto G. If there is anyone left with this phone at all that would like to see a ROM review or a ROM in action, leave a reply on the thread and I'll see what I can do. Happy watching!
-Nov. 7 2015 update-
What I'm going to do instead of like my previous recordings, I'm going to flash a ROM and use it for one week with casual use, then try and upload it the following Sunday/Monday. It might not be on a weekly basis, but I will post whenever I have a new video up. I also don't know how much I will use it on a daily basis since it's not my primary phone, but I will try to do light web browsing, occasional light gaming, and social media while also tweaking some settings and customizing it depending on the features of the rom.

Great idea. Once I get a few more uploaded then I'll break up the original post into those subcategories. Hell, I take that back. I'll do it now since I have some spare time

This week's is gonna be a day late, my apologies
*Edit*
So my camera decided that it hates life, so I sadly have to skip this week's. I'll hopefully get it's problem worked out or switch over to my old external webcam

Finally found my camera charger, new upload for this week, it's a day early because I'll be busy all day tomorrow. G2 Slim v1.6 is this week's, CyanKat or Andromadus CM11 is going to be next week's.

I loved Slim's roms. I've tested some on the SGS and we had only one once on the Vision but it was good!
Would love to have SlimKat on Vision... Omni ROM look promising too but the promises of the new cyankat are impressive!

Because I am testing out demkantor's build of TWRP recovery, I will not have a video up just yet because of a bug I stumbled upon. I will however turn this from a Friday-only, I guess mini-series is the best way to explain it, into probably twice a week or so. I'll have either CyanKat or Flinny's CM11 up around Monday/Tuesday.
*Edit*
Since the person behind CyanKat is working on an update, I'm gonna postpone my video for that and focus on some other Sense and MIUI roms until it's updated. Once it is, I'll get a video on it up for you guys.

Aw come on, there's plenty of ROMs that work with my 90% working twrp, there's always my 90% working cyanmobile ROM
Keep up the good work, twice a week sounds better than one time!

New vid up, slightly longer than usual cuz I went on a rant about a few things. xD It's CoolOS's GB MIUIv3, I decided to do a MIUI build since I kept saying I'd do one but never got around to it. enjoy.

One thing I'm now going to do for you guys and gals out there is write a full review on each rom that I have done a video on, so you can get a more in-depth opinion and overview of the rom.. The first one is up in the first post, it's CoolOS's Sensei rom. Happy reading!

hope to see some new videos soon!
PS, added your great work above the ROM list FOUND HERE

Written review for G2Slim is live. New video(s) planned for the upcoming days.

New video coming up today/tomorrow after I get some rest since I just got off night shift. So, yeah. xD

I might revive this since I've been contemplating doing it with the Moto G as well, I edited the first post. Why not do both in case there are people out there still with the phone?

I'm not too sure what's out there that's specifically 2.3.4, but there are several 2.3.3 ROMs. Are you mainly after camera features, customization, speed, or all of the above?
