Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying the Xperia V. Do you think it will be possible to install Ubuntu for Phone after the release and some development? The minimum requirements are met, but I would like to be sure.
There's a boot loader menu for the Xperia S and I would like to know if something like this will be ported to the V. Also, is there any chance the Ubuntu OS could be stripped/customized to a custom Debian rom.
Last question, will we see custom kernels based on Ubuntu for the Xperia?
Thanks in advance!

Untill someone does it then maybe, once its done then yes, however, there seems to be more dev involvement in the xperia T, so if you are into dev then the Tmay be a better option for you.

It may be possible, but it depends if anyone actually wants to do it to see if it will be done.

Wing-Linux is currently the best of what you can get. Unless some new developers start working on this which doesn't seem likely.
The thread you linked was the beginning of development. Most of what's in there is useless because it's very old.
If you haven't tried Wing-Linux yet, the link is in my signature.
And check my last post there for dualboot/android rom issues.

I don't want to come off rude, but this is an App that enables you to run Android Cupcake (OS) on Your Windows Phone, so this isn't a ROM and this development is Quite slow and a lot of the features aren't up.
Yes its true, its not ROM, u can keep u r wm also
and u can boot it with android, but as u said lots of improvement is required.

WE need more improvement for our device, because from what I saw we are kinda behind the others.
exuse me the wing linux is perfect why do you want a rom its even better if you are bored from android you can switch to windows or vise versa
So what do guys think about the new installer and do you think it would support our device
The installer seems to be a great opportunity to anyone who does not know anything about flashing ROMs. It makes it accessible to everyone, but doesn't that mean that there will be more people who don't know what they're doing?

That probably doesn't cover all device specific installation methods. You need to unlock the bootloader.
Let me talk in detail
can someone possible help me convert this apk file and successfully directly install it in the Z1 ,as it is so attractive to me because of the OCR and the one hand keyboard
here is the link of the file

Why convert? What that mean. You can't install it on your phone?

This happen to me all the time when another app on the phone go in conflict with the one I try to install. This happen most with two version of the same app, you have to uninstall the first one to install the second one but if is not like that I don't know why.
You don't need someone to port it as Sony added it to Z1 in android 4.3 (14.2.A.0.290).

I see, then you should root. You will just benefit from that. Otherwise I think will be close to impossible to "convert" the app.

What I need the mainly is not the one hand keyboard, as I have already exist in [email protected] android 4.3, however the things I want is not just a single hand typing keyboard, what I need is the hand writing method on Z Ultra

Hi everyone,
is anyone working on a port of the MIUI v6 rom based on Android 4.4.2 for the Sony Xperia SP?
Would really love to have this great rom on my phone. Who else does?
I am currently using MIUI v5 which is definitely the smoothest rom available for this phone.
By far better than all the other rubbish which is available here.
Waiting for informations.
Which ROM is it exactly?
didn't see any MIUI rom anywhere

Time to unlock your bootloader I would say!
There are some nice tutorials which describe the whole process in detail.

Then simply relock the bootloader again
By the way, I found another cool feature on the english MIUI forum. It is called "MIUI Lite" gives the user 70% of miui feeling on your phone.
Tried it yesterday on my XPERIA Z1 compact with Stock rom and must say that I am really impressed!

The main reason is because OEM Roms (specifically Touchwiz, Sense, Xperia UI) require heavily on OEM specific hardware, framework and kernel to function correctly.
Those OEM roms are closed source and without them, it will be very difficult for developers to write compatible driver, kernels (that function in conjunction with framework) to other samsung phones; yet alone a phone from a different manufacture.
In that regard, if a rom was ported over, the only functioning thing would probably be the touchscreen and nothing else.
