Hi guys.
Is there any option too have 2 androids on my x8 ?
Now im using 2.3.5 and i want to have 2.2 android. Like two os'es on one phone , is there any way to do that ?
Why i want to do this ? Like i have 2 sd cards but one of them are full with application. Another is free and i want to do a ubuntu on my phone but i need the second one to work but when i turn off first one like 3/4 my phones application turn off because they where on sd.

Do you have any experience in developing the ubuntu touch according to that porting guide?
I have no experience in developer Android, however I would like to begin the development in ubuntu touch.
I read through that porting guide, I found that it is hard and difficult for me to begin with it.
I'm not want to develop for Tablet Z, but Xperia S.
It has a developer who made/ported it to Xperia S, but recently he is busy with the other ROM which is CM10.1,
therefore the progress on ubuntu touch is held on.
I would like to 'repo' his CM10.1 source and try to develop the working device image for Xperia S,
However I Di not know where and how to start. I do not know what part of source is required.
According to the porting guide, it say the low level source code of CM10.1 is needed only, but I do not know which part is...
Totally idealess...

Sorry, I have no experience in porting Ubuntu Touch. I could help you a bit with basic Linux Terminal commands and maybe in a few weeks with writing apps.
Maybe you can ask the dev of Ubuntu Touch for your device what you have to do.
You have said there is an existing port availiable? Have you tried updating this port?

The existing port is only applicable to raring preview, not anymore to the later phablet image.
I want to try port it to flipped phablet image.
Anyway, thank you.

i thought i saw that they have a rooting apk file but ive never heard of it working, u can jus use a friends pc and root the phone though because the rooting files aint even large or take up space
Thanks. I will go ahead n do it on my gfs laptop whenever she brings it. I wish there was an apk but that's fine.

The apk is called Framaroot, but I don't know of it's confirmed working on our devices.

I'd suggest you to wait for a laptop rather than attempt anything not confirmed, because if something gets messed up you can't fix it without a laptop again. So enjoy the bloatware!
