Hi,
I've just tried the 1.6 Port of Android on my Sony Vaio UX1n.
Run's good but I have a few questions:
- Is there any chance to use the touchscreen of the Sony UX?
- Is it possible to install android on the Memorystick or CF-Card instead of the USB-Drive?
It would be such a great fast Android machine
Thank you for any help, tips etc.
I have bought a used but as good as new ux390N today. Could you share your knowledge about how youbwere able to port and run android on your device? Thanks in advance.
Hi.
I'm thinking about buying this device, but have question for people that have already this device or know the answer to this.
Does this device support usb otg so I can connect usb drive, xbox controller etc?
Waiting for answer.
Apparently not. I've just plugged my USB flash drive in with an OTG cable and nothing.
they're screwing with us. Its not a cheap phone after all, so sony could add support for this, but nooo....
I read somewhere that Android M will have native support for flash drives, and giving the fact that this device is new its high possible
that it will get Android M support, with could possible fix that problem.
Android M?? No. I don't expect that Sony will release Android M to us...
I just want to have a very fundamental function - USB OTG!!!
Come on, Sony...

Sony announced an update t 5.1 for the M2 and M2 Aqua see blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/06/04/android-5-0-lollipop-rolls-for-the-xperia-z-series-android-5-1-coming-for-xperia-m2-and-xperia-m2-aqua
So I think there is a change for us to get Android M.
(Sorry for the text link, I'm not yet allowed to post links directly.)
OTG doesn't work on my M4 aqua.

Seriously? Sony will update M2 to Lollipop 5.1 and it has already announced a Developer Preview of Android M for Z series (plus two or three minor model).
We'll surely receive Android M.

Today sony announced that the sources fir M4 are available on github. So even if Sony won't create 5.1 fir us, there is a good chance that there will be a cyanogenmod ie other alternative roms.

As you can see in the attachment, sony has confirmed that we will get official Android M! I think thats great news, I saw Sony committed on github... They committed into a new branch called 'master' Its newer then lp so I think thats the M device tree.
Lets hope for Google to release M soon, then we will have it also soon

Can't we use a powered OTG cable?
I have seen them on some sites.
Xperia L got OTG support through a similar method.
Please confirm i am really looking forward to buy the m4 aqua.
Overheating is okay as long as it doesn't overheat while calling.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 LTE and too no OTG support.. But when you use Y OTG cable and add software otg support, it worked.. Maybe here it will same?

What cable are you using? I have Y type USB otg cable and i tried putting power to the one end through either usb port of pc or charger but nothing happened. I tried several softwares from market. If somebody succeeded with certain cable and software please post links.
Can you kindly check whether sony m4 aqua has a usbhost driver. You can check this via AIDA64 app, goto devices in the app. What i believe is that if a usbhost driver is present otg should work.but sony removed powering up of the usb device.
Hence it might be possible to get otg through a powered otgcable.
Xperia L got OTG through a similar method.
I didn't buy the m4 because of otg problem and lack of storage.
It is not a cheap phone too.
OTG is a must.
I checked but do not see such thing in devices in aida 64. We may only hope on future update to bring up this support.
recently bought the m4 aqua DUAL
i was wondering if the m4 aqua dual had the same overheating issues the regular m4 aqua does, the most up to date firmware version is one month newer on the dual than regular m4
m4 aqua:
Latest available software: 26.1.A.2.99
Release started: 2015-07-17
m4 aqua dual:
Latest available software: 26.1.B.2.102
Release started: 2015-08-03
so is it safe to say the dual update has eliminated both overheating and performance issues? i got the dual version instead of the single slot version because it comes with 16GB of memory
Don't you see a usb host driver like this?
We should send sony support aski
asking for otg via a firmware update.
Otg is a must for this mobile.
Sony e3,m,m2,C,c3,sp,t2 ultra all have otg
Only phones which do not have are e1,e and e4.
We should ask to add.

I will try to add it in AOSP 5.1.1 ( can anyone try it, coz I'm a bit busy? )
There is no such driver unfortunately. I hope that sony will add it in future.

same here. updated a mate from works device to official marshmallow (E2353) and he is getting the same problems. he used the screen casting feature all the time before the upgrade, so much so that he is considering going back to lollipop. Apparently there is a config file on the phone somewhere that you can edit to disable HDCP but i am not sure what it is yet.....still searching.
Are you getting issues with bluetooth connectivity also? he told me that his bluetooth handsfree in the car sounds really poor now.
Hello!
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/fix-hdcp-error-miracast-ezcast-screen-t3123560
I do not know whether the best solution but to me it helped. Now screen mirroring works, i get a warning that the device does not support HDCP but work!
I no tried bluetooth but i'll check it
Hey guys,
I will try to post my question and problem as clearly as I can :
What is the difference between an Android OS TV (example mini PC with Android to make your TV smart) compared with Android OS for your personal Phone device or tablet?
For example : I have an Odroid Mini PC from Hardkernel, with Android OS fw 4.4.4 with root. I also have in my home several devices such as Android TV (came with the Smart TV). The main problem is what or where is a root file system that allows the TV to be found in the network?
The question is : When i use the Google Cast from youtube, Why i Can't see both devices? Where or What i have to do in order to make this option available.
On my personal device (phone) Asus ZenPhone 2 fw : 6.0.1 and Odroid Mini PC (fw 4.4.4) i found on different websites the possibility of the app "CheapCast" which cannot be found anymore on Google Store
If I run from Windows (Chrome web broser) the option to "Cast to device", I can only see the Smart TV , not the phone or the mini pc. The thing that disturbes me that if I use the YouTube App from any Android Device, i can select all 3 devices . Why?
Thank you for your time.
Please tell me if i didn't make myself clear, i can create a gif to display the issue or re-tell the story
Hi guys,
I have spent hours and hours reading on the internet how to do this, I thought is was as easy as on any other phone I did in the past, but apparently this is not the case.
First of all, lets start with the specs:
Model Number: SGP312 (Wi-Fi Only)
Android Version 5.1.1
Build number: 10.7.A.0.222
I know that before anything else, I need to root this tablet, but there is no way I can find instructions specific for this tablet, or better there are, I found this link but really? I cannot understand many of the steps.
So is there a guide to root this tablet?
I have already installed the Official TWRP App on my tablet, but when I try to access it in recovery mode, there is no way, Power+ -Volume, does not work, as Power + +Volume turns the tablet off.
Is there an official guide on this forum specific for this tablet?
Which Android version would you recommend to install? 9 or 10?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!
Alex

Thank you!
I did follow the guide and I was able to successfully install lineage-16.0-20201220-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy with open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20210712.
I have noticed three glitches:
When I plug in the tablet to the AC to charge, when it is fully charged, no green LED light is ON. It used to be the case with its stock 5.1. Also, no percentage shows while the tablet is OFF, plugged in to the AC and charging. It only shows the big green battery if you touch the screen.
The digital clock which comes by default, only shows the time in the home page, but not the date underneath, although in the settings, the date is checked.
I have downloaded Gmail, everything works well, but the icon is the classic old one, not the new bold version
Is there any solution to the above?
Thank you!

I suggest of using the latest build of 14/07/21 from here.
Hi Rootk1t,
I re-installed everything from scratch, the latest version from July 14, 21 GAPPS and all of that.
The above issues are still there.
Just to give you an idea of how the icons look like, please see the attached.
Any help is appreciated.
