Porting rom from Xperia X8 - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello.
This is for devs.
Please look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125026
Can this be ported to xperia U?
As you can see it's android 4.1.2(JB)
And the phone(Xperia X8) has Armv6 processor
Xperia U has armV7, so the ported rom will run faster on our phone i guess.

[Q] some questions on winzip porting ... ??

Hello XDA .. i have some questions on Winzip porting ... any help is appreciated
1) can we port rom's from other devices using this method .. ?? (eg.. htc sense rom to xperia mdpi devices..)
2) can we port Rom's from hdpi to mdpi using this method .. ?? (eg xperia arc rom to xperia mdpi devices)
1- yes and no. its easier to be said than done. no non-htc phone have ever get fully functional sense rom port due to drm issue, ever. and port can be easy if both phone got similar hardware, eg port from neo to mini, port from arc to mini, port from ray to mini, but never port from galaxy nexus to mini.
2- yes. but some graphic needs to be resized.

I think you have to change this value in build.prop
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=
to 160
Is there any way to Port sense rom to xperia mdpi devices.. plz if there is any method i will try that...

[COLLABORATIVE DEV PROJECT] Port Jelly Bean to Xperia Sola from Galaxy SIII Mini

Hi everyone!
It's know that our Xperia Sola is a ST-Ericcson device (with Novathor u8500 SoC chipset) and right now, i'm pretty sure that Sony will provide Jelly Bean for our device next year. But, we also know that there out is a device with our same chipset and Jelly Bean at launch. Yes, i'm talking about Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini. I have been talking with some users on their forum and i think some information can help us to port jelly bean to our Xperia Sola.
So, here are some files which can help us to make a working Jelly Bean Rom on our device:
1. I want to thanks nixonik member to provide a full system dump of SGSIIIMini in here System dump.
2. Jelly Bean open source code for this rom, provided by Samsung. in HERE
Today i have access to this files but tomorrow i'm going to travel outside and going to leave my pc here in home, so i can't make progress on this until january, but i'm calling to devs in here to check this files, specially open source ones (libs mostly) and see if we can port cm10 using those or if this can be ported as well.
Now that would be really great if some devs step up to initiate this...But I have one question, the s3 mini uses U84xx soc whereas we have U85xx soc...Won't that be problem?? Devs??

No, it won't. You see, in open source that I have attached here there is source code for u8xxx chipset that's mean that they are working in all novathor SoC already released by St-Ericsson

That's awesome...Maybe FXP can use those sources to develop CM10...
@OP this is a brilliant initiative. Can you contact these two members urgently?
1. FXP
2 munjeni
FXP can help with this, and if this works out, they can work on CM10 instead of CM9.1 anymore (which is pretty much stable now).
Also, munjeni just got AOSP Jelly Bean booting on his Xperia GO. He can definitely make magic for this initiative.
Maybe I should give it a try.
good news!!:good:
get all devs attention. get them under one project
This will be great if someone port this to our phones. I think FXP and munjeni must give it a try, but it will be great if they do it together.

This not really worries me, instead is okay because xperia p and go will receive jelly bean officially and we have to remember that p and go are "riogrande" devices like sola and u. When they release JB open source to xperia p and go, we can easily adapt the official rom to our sola (and u)

Now is time to show to stupid shiny Sony that in here (xda) we know how to care a really good device. All devs, use this files to blow JB on the face of Sony!!!

Floating touch in ics was great as glove mode but I don't think it would be much of use.....
So its would be OK if we don't get floating touch in JB (my opinion )......
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda app-developers app
I see AOSP beyond crap features like floating touch, xloud, or bravia engine
If I am not wrong JB for this device is a distant dream until our beloved developers like FXP, Munjeni, kerian & championswimmer see a possible port feasibility as suggested in OP
Until wait for Sony's release of JB for similar hardware device
Thanks to all who are owning this device and keeping hope alive.
Nice initiative

You need to compare kernels and alter the ramdisk!! Not an easy job...

This is a great news, i think soul is right, and you will need help from someone who knows kernels very well: deep unknown, munjeni, devswift, nickholtus, thebrainskafka ... PM them for help buddy.

don't do anything in kernel... keep kernel as stock as the kernel version is same..so just replace the stock ics kernel to ported jb kernel...

Sola JellyBean
one thing that i cant understand , sony wont be releasing JB for U and Sola because they have 512 Ram and 480x854 resolution . while Xperia J have the same Ram and resolution but with a single core low end processor and an old Adreno 200 and they released JB on it. please explain .
Xperia J has Adreno 200 which uses less RAM than Mali-400, hence Xperia J is updated and sola and U are not.
Lol!! Sony's marketing & business strategies didn't let it...
Sony sold many Solas & U and achieved its target of selling those devices now they don't care a sh!t
But they cdnt sell that much of Go & P and had to support its newer sh!tty configuration phones like J & E to keep up , it released JB for em and gave lame excuses for Sola & U!!
Its all business not compatibility & performance issues like Sh!tony says...
Cheers!!!

Then you should've waited for a dev create a thread when they were ready.
The only difference beetween xgo and xu are touch drivers!
I think that, maybe, we just need to repack xgo ramdisk with xu zimage in order to get it almost booting. Isn't it true?

It´s not the same kernel per se, just Sony used the same version of linux kernel 3.08.
The date that the kernel was compiled is at March which means a new kernel!
