Porting Android to Sony Ericsson Satio? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, does any one know if it has been done or is possible to port Android to the Satio?
I have seen video of Android working on a K or W series phone.
Cheers,
Tichy

It's impossible now. There isn't any program to run linux in symbian phones.

android on vivaz
Damn, I want to try to port android to vivaz, I heard somewhere that it is possible to put the x10 userinterface, on both the satio and the vivaz.
And that by using the sony skd. Maybe we can manage to port android with the help of this sdk thing.

i hope....Android on Vivaz is fantastic!

i would love to see this happen because the OS that the Satio runs on is to out of date.
It would bring an old phone up to date!

The post dates in this thread are so scattered, it doesn't even seem worth apologising for bringing up an old thread.

How can you even post here for this?! You should be on the phone to SonyEricsson harassing them to update their ****ty arse phone which isn't even a year old now...
I had a satio but I switched to iPhone when I realised that their "attempt" at an app store: PlayNow had about two apps worth downloading. To get any use from the phone even remotely like Android/iPhone you need to root it, and why the hell did they release the phone with Symbian when Android was already out?!
The least they can do now is develop an Android port for this phone, considering it's still the most powerful phone camera-wise thus far.

Still impossible to port Android to Satio ? Because only one Android phone has Xenon flash that is really usfull during night party Thanks

A little bump doesn't seem inappropriate. Is there any more news regarding this topic? I would love to see some android on my Satio, "luckily" I have a X10 right now. But a Satio with android running on it would make it a perfect backup phone for me.

any luck yet? seem a few tutorials about on how to install android on nokia n8 and couple of others but none these methods work on vivaz due to the os being that old. has anyone tried flashing the vivaz with x10 gdfs? that should make seus recognise it as a x10 and install x10's android on it in theory

the only thing you will get doing that its a bricked phone, and you cannot trick the seus so easily

So any progress? I like Satio, but with Android....

Is anyone working on this question?
I would be very pappy if it is possible. Basicaly it is a good phone with bad OS.
At the moment my satio is waiting in the drawer for android.

Guys, move on. It is not going to happen. EVER.
There are no drivers for the Satio hardware and unless someone has the brain, time, willingness, means to write them from scratch, you're out of luck and better off getting a new Android phone.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
:silly:

No point asking
But I do wonder if there is any os update available as all my other phones have either exploded caught fire or bent so are in the untrusty fingers of EVIL Sony, anyone thinks of getting a Sony be warned they take no responsibility for selling faulty goods and dont like to give you your warranty.

[Ended] Android on HTC Touch2 [9/8/10] Project Started, Phone Received

Hello
Is it possible to run Android on Touch2?
Nope, it needs the HardSPL first and then a custom android rom cooked just for the touch 2.
If I sound like i know what I'm talking about, I dont, but thats what I've been told so far.

I dont think that you are right! You dont need HardSPL for Android not even to change ROM! You can run Android under windows for many devices just not Mega yet! Check this.

Yup. There is possibility to start the android from Windows Mobile with help of special executable (haret.exe). But it seems this way does not work for Mega yet.

yes android is working just a few bugs but is usable as a phone
May be more information or instructions?
Any chance of crashing or bricking the device ?!
come on give in some instructions and point out the possibilities of screwing up the device ;]] and ofc how could we fix it after that ...

Or maybe just a hoax.

I really want android on the mega
I really don't understand you guys...
Why did you bought HTC Touch2, which is with WinMobile OS, when on other side you could buy HTC Tattoo with Android, and with more hardware, and also little cheaper...
And now, you want to put Android to Touch2...
Why didn't you buy android phone...?
I just don't see point...
How about getting WM on the Tattoo?
These two devices seem as similar as it gets.

i could buy the Tatto when i chosed my phone , but i didnt know WTF was Android ... just heard only that it's a new google OS and that's all ... and when heard that if u start posting all the apps for WM u cant stop for years , my choise was done ;]] now Android devices question if they can run WM on their devices and we quest if we can run Android on our devices isn't it cool
WinMo<--->Android fight which is better , but they want to run each other and give it a try ?!

The touch 2 is half the price the Magic and the Hero are.
@secosan
Touch2 is about 10 euros more expensive than Tattoo...
@LtBlue
It is nice to have dual boot (WinMO and Android). I have it on my Diamond.
Only thing is that Android will never get 100% ported to Diamond (or other WinMO device). There is always something missing,... and battery life when using WiFI is very short (approx 2 hours). This and other small bugs (plus frequent Android crashing on Diamond) is turning me from android on Diamond...
There is android topic in Diamond forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402002 with more than 6000 replies, and more than 1,600,000 views, but solution for 100% port of Android to Diamond is not yet found.
Honestly, I think it will never will be made... More likely, everyone who desperately want Android on Diamond, will buy Android device, like me... (still need money for that)
Well, I just wanna say to you all: Don't give up with android on Touch2, but most likely it will never work as it work on native Android device.
If you are desperately in need on Android device, then buy one...
And have in mind, that you will get more hardware with Android phone, and it will be cheaper than WinMO device in same rang.
Hope I helped a little...

[Q] Is it posible to have another OS?

its possible to install another OS on my x10 mini like S60 5^ or 3^

Why would you want to do such an awful thing? our x10s have feelings, you know? don't take android away from them!
I can't understand why you buyed this phone if you didn't like its OS...........Don't talk silly........if you don't like it pls simply switch to another phone!!!!
I think out if curiosity i'd love to see this question answered... although i can't imagin abandoning the A-OS for anything currently available
P.s. this is only my "OPINION" but currently;
Technically; possible, our hardware meets the basic specs.
Physically; highly improbable due to a currently unhackable bootloader
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Just corious beacuse S60 was easier and i love sony ericsson thats why i got this one
its cute but i feel its to hard to do some stuff.
*SPOILERS*
Hi i had an sony ericsson w600 when was younger; 14 or 15 though
i love it especially the VideoDJ app then i got a nokia 5800 when i was 17
i loved that phone was awesome and so cuztumizable was currently running C6 Firmware on it but the maid stole it i know the other one told me she has
NVM.
my dad was asking me if i wanted a new cellphone i told no dad idk really liked my nokia there was much stuff on it like: Feelings, Adventures, goodf time. and software related stuff also.
then i lost the hope of finding it and blocked it with a remote code
And i looked at a little pretty cellphone on a shelf and it remind me my old W600
i though oh that one would be nie so i got it.
*END*
dont missunderstand me i like my cellphone but is just that i miss stuff that i was able to do on my 5800 as well as video and photo edition tools that were present on w600
You Could... providing someone develops a working HAL so the software could communicate with the hardware!
Unfortunately, this doesn't exist and it is such a big job that manufacturers won't do it as they only seem to focus on one OS per device at a time (And then neglect to update it - No 2.2 for me)
So basically, whilst is is possible it is very improbable (Notice that I never said never!) LOL
Dude, have you ever launched the android market? Do you know how many photo and video apps you can find there?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Bro I did but those app are too buggy also internet is very slow I think bcause I cant get 3G (same data plan on other phone works fine)
Also I cant pause video recording wich is usefull 4 square by square animation.
And sorry I cant just dish my phone and buy a ndw one congratulations for those who can.
Can somebody point me to specific apps or rom
That could fill my needs
And deano thanks for the ROMS are wonderfull but im still being a newb
I think you didn't check out the right apps. I'm sure you'll find the right applications for you in there : there are close to 300000 applications in the market. For editing pictures, you have Photoshop express and hundreds more, for videos you have a whole bunch. If you can't get your 3G working, you should check with someone from your mobile company to configure your phone right : 3G works fine with the mini.
Finally, if you don't like this phone, you can sell it on eBay at a good price. Also, sorry to tell you this, but nowadays you'll find this same OS (Android) on most SE phones, Motorolla, LG, HTC, Samsung, etc... So you better get used to using it, unless you want to buy yourself an iPhone or a BlackBerry.
or just stick with Nokia.. good old Symbian (the reason I switched to SE from Nokia was because I wanted Android and Nokia refuses to see the light)
Why anyone would choose Symbian over Android is beyond my understanding.. but each to his own I guess.
Naaah im loving it nao but i need some guidance with root explorer
i mean if i rename an app as bak it will work on background but not all of them so waht can i do for hidng apps and they will fully function

[ROM] AT&T Xperia X10 *** ORIGINAL *** Android 1.6

If anyone wants it, here is the ORIGINAL ROM for the AT&T Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 .. Original meaning, Android 1.6.
X10a_ATT_US_ATT_1237_3761.rar / 132.92MB
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=75B84QCX
I have used this many times with NO issues in regards to reverting my X10a back to factory default .. the program I use to do this is Omnius for SE v0.15. If you want this software, link below.

I find this relevant to the fact that anyone wants to flash there phone back to factory in case they want to return there phones because of broken promises from AT&T in regards to getting updates for the X10a to even 2.1, it sucks.
On top if that, even flashing anything from here is NOT guaranteed to work 100%.
So, is it relevant to post this in the DEVELOPER section for any X10 .. YES it is.

You're welcome .. believe me, I'm about to do the same thing .. although mine was a free-bee from Best Buy that I received 1 week ago .. don't like the fact that after getting this and finding out from AT&T that they have had an update for this phone since August 2010, that it still HAS NOT been released to its customers because of testing purposes to get it working perfectly .. come on, 6 months already .. and its even an OLD version of Android !!!!
I've tried MANY ROM's from here on this X10a (that gives you an idea as to how much I have learned on here in 1 week) .. and I'm definately not happy. This is my first Android phone (thinking I'd try it out since people rant and rave as to how much better it is than and iPhone) .. truthfully .. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 that is jailbroken .. never had any problems with my iPhone .. and I'm sticking with it.
Maybe once Google or even ALL the manufacturers and cell providers have got it together in regards to bring out a Android phone that is at least workable, upgradable (without stories or lies) .. I may go ahead and get another Android.

Right .. YES, this has ALREADY been posted .. I also tried that hacked up version from the original posting .. it is NOT the OFFICIAL firmware release from AT&T for the X10a, and is definately missing something and buggy.
I have friends at AT&T .. the one I posted is the OFFICIAL release from AT&T for the X10a and was obtained right from AT&T .. and if you decide to check it out .. you will see that the file is LARGER in size than that buggy one that "oalf170892" posted.
Official Firmware I released : 132.92MB
Buggy Firmware released by oalf170892 : 118.76MB
Someone want to tell me why there is a 14.16MB difference in the size ??? hence why I had problems with oalf170892's release, its definately missing something in the files.
If the Mod's decide to remove this thread .. that would be there decision, but at the same time .. it would be nice for the Mod to tell me or someone, for what reason they have to remove it.
Dang I had my x10 for 9 months now from att. Should of returned it when I had the chance

[Q] Is there any hope...

..., that someone will bring Android 4.0xxx to the X10 Mini Pro?
I don't want to stress anyone...the question is more, if it is possible at all to port the 4.0xxx to this "old" smartphone and if someone wants to do this much work...

Well. It is ported now but is actually an alpha version. The question now is... Is there any hope to get ICS fully working on our tiny old phone?... I think it is possible, but with significant limitations.

The 18 months are already gone.
I think there is hope, but its taking awhile as there's alot to do.
It depends really on whether or not the devs get bored (hardly) or find cash for a new phone (likely) so stop working on it.
I'll hold out hope that it can be done, some more inferior and older devices have got android 4 working, but we know how troublesome these x10mp's can be.

I finally found an exploit that rooted this phone. I can pull the stock rom off for you, but I have to figure out how to do it again. I have to read the manual again.
If you have any hints on how to do it correctly, I'm open.

Fuego firmware
I don't have that phone anymore. I sold it to a buddy and he dropped it into oblivion.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to leave Android behind and move to Tizen.
What's Tizen you might ask? It's a linux based OS that is meant for small embedded devices like phones or TV's... They really emphasize TV's because the Tizen project is backed by Samsung and they are going to start putting it on all of their TV's.... It works on phones too with an array of processors.... Instead of using Java in a virtual machine to make/run apps, it uses a native HTML5 interpreter. HTML5 is open, and a standard... "Java" is owned by Sun Microsystems and is not open. fsck Google and Sun and Android.... I'm moving to the new way to make your phone operate all neat and "free"... I'm moving to Tizen.
Search the googs for Tizen and you will come up with it because I can't post links yet.
I"m pretty sure that I saw a bunch of tools that help you in stall Tizen and forget about the hassle of "rooting" your phone, or dealing with that locked bootloader nonsense, or (dare I say, though I cannot confirm) that the whole "sim/carrier lock" that keeps you with that crapola cell provider is a non issue when the community writes the cell software and not some greedy corporation. I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure that Tizen can boot your phone to an SD card and ignore all the proprietary crap that the T mobiles and ATT's of the world use to force their "service" down your throat.
"Android" used to sound cool, but it has been replaced by a free/open OS who's name sounds like some bad-ass general from the ancient orient.... Hail Tizen!!
PS Tizen is part of the Linux foundation.
