Anyone know if it's possible to flash the Xperia with the operating system on the HTC Magic (Sapphire)? It's HTC after all.
As far as I can remember, HTC Magic uses Android so it doesn't work on X1 yet (and I don't know if it will work one day...)
Someone test it on XDA but it doesn't work very well...

Sure, I'll do that in my coffee break.....
Actually, I hope someone is working on that as well. There's a thread about Android/Linux on the X1, which you can find here.
As you can see a few people have been working on Android 1.0, but can't get it fully functional yet. I hope Android 1.5 with the support for resistive screens will be a new challenge for them.
hahahahahha
I'd be interested in helping test, but I doubt someone will do it.
Well i hope too....
as u know the android 1.0 works up side down on x1...
It is great to have android beside windows mobile.
Then our device will be 2-in-1, more powerful than it is.
Currently there is another topic for porting google android but as you know, currently it is Closed and It don't work well ( screen is upside-down ( it is not a problem if another things actually work ), touch screen don't work well, buttons not working, wifi etc not working )
We can bring android into our phone together if we seriously work on it as other guys done it on other htc phones.
[Q] Why HTC LOVE not to upgrade the previous HTC Devices even though they are able to support the software??
Because they can sell new phones.
Have patience.
htc is actually one of the better companies when it comes to upgrades on older phones. I hear sony or motorola customers get no love.
I guess being better doesn't translate to being good at updating previous models. It's all about making a sale.

Cause if every single HTC device have right of upgrade, what's the point of new devices from HTC ? This forces people to buy new products. Hope you understant
like i said, it's all about the sale
They sell a device, support a few updates for a while, perhaps after that one or two updates spread out, then they do focus on the sale of newer devices almost exclusively.
HTC is better than some companies, and at least they have made lots of hardware that can support better software, because we can enjoy the great work of independent developers like those on xda to give us lots of options. We don't have to rely on HTC that way!
Go open source!

I will be happy if HTC just gives out drivers to stop the camera lag in AOSP ROMs, that's all I ask
I found that app in sensation forum...it is force closing on all the roms except virtuos unity one. It won't even run on the IS official sense 3.0 update.
Anyone knows how we can port it???
You should be happy, as HTC is actually releasing updates...go to Huawei or Motorola...the phone sells and dies with the same Rom. You'll find all sorts of unofficial Roms, but not from the manufacturers.
So, HTC is doing quite all-right, not as good as Google (from obvious reasons) but not as bad as Huawei or Motorola.
OK. once again regarding this app, does anyone have any idea how to port it?
i have the sensation qhd .apk of this app.
any one willing to resize this app for wvga?

android HTC HD7
My HTC HD7 has Android 2.2.3 installed. It was from lightinthebox.com and is a dual SIM Android phone.
Works okay, a bit slow at times and has started to crash a bit at the moment, I'd like to download a custom ROM, but the problem is that nobody has created one as yet.
Sorry to say but your phone isn't a HD7 its a Chinese knock off which runs android, the real HD7 can't run Android atm and comes with Windows Phone.

;] waow, it seems they only sell "look like real" branded phones, and not for peanuts...even if it remains that you own a interesant device (as long as it works...) it's definitely not an HTC HD7...
The HD7 can run Android as it's an exact clone of an HD7 but has Android installed, any phone can have any OS installed as long as it can reasonably run the software!
Yay!
Thanks for this!
@leopheard, how do you know HD7 can run androbeans? It hasn't been done yet...and I wonder how you know your "clone" is an exact copy of an HD7 ( you compared every single piece of hardware?)
I think you're just telling bull#%&$ and that thread should be closed...there's a sticky thread for HD7/Android...but it's not your concern as you don't own an HTC HD7...

Hello,
First of all, allow me to indroduce myself. My name is Michael, and I have made some contributions to the XDA scene two years ago in the Xperia Mini Pro forums. I ported HTC Sense and Cyanogenmod 7 to that device and was the first to start the real development for that device.
With that said, I have retired for two years and have lost track of the developments. Anyway, on to my question:
Is it possible to port the HTC DNA / Butterfly J rom over to the Xperia Z?
Looking at the specifications, both devices feature a Qualcomm S4 Pro chipset, and a Adreno 320 GPU, empowering a screen with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels.
Technically, this was the requirement to port a HTC Sense rom back in the days, a matching CPU, GPU and screen size. I do not know if this has changed.
My main reason for this question is that, if we can get the HTC DNA rom booting on the Xperia Z, we could also get the ported HTC One for the HTC DNA rom working on our phone, and enjoy Sense 5 (Minus Zoë)
I am looking forward to a reply from any skilled developer!
this indeed looks very interesting
if i recall correctly sense has been ported to several devices like the gnex and S2
i wouldnt mind trying sense on my xperia z :3

Hey, good to see someone from the past
I already have the device, but porting is a pain in the you know what.
(Sense is not as easy to port anymore, + I have zero experience in kernel modifications.)
Having sense would be great.
Hope you can do it.
I can help for tests if you want

First of all, thanks for the thread. I have already tried a similar approach, but the problem is that HTC Sense 5 will not boot with these minor modifications to the kernel. I have to make more advanced customizations, of which I do not have the knowledge yet. I will try to contact the developer of the port for the Sony Xperia Arc, and it's fingers crossed that he'll be willing to help me out
So, is there no news or updates regarding the possible HTC Harmony device, aka an HTC One running WP8?
only rumors for now...
