Just received my XA2 today, impressed by the quality regarding the X.
Now waiting for the official SFOS port... Coming soon...
Any reason why you (and others) already hump on the XA2?
I mean, the official port is announced for Q3 and the prices might drop quite a bit until then?
Is there a community port available already?

GPS works, locks nearly instantly, they ironed out the timestamping problems in the SMS client, I don't get any lockscreen hangs anymore, the fingerprint sensor works great, bluetooth audio to my Mass Fidelity relay works flawlessly, the wifi is stable and strong, battery life is EXCELLENT (I frequently get 4 days to a week between charges, using it as a normal phone... texts, calls, few emails, looking up things on the go, a little GPS). The camera and gallery have improved dramatically, and it really looks like they're paying attention to user feedback.
My apologies for getting back to the topic
The two Xperia X currently for sale here made me look into it again. I never liked the X because it seemed so HUGE but I suppose I could live with it, especially at eBay prices which are MUCH cheaper than those asked here on TMO.
But I have not been following the development very closely and find browsing through 254 pages of posts, mostly off-topic or contradicting each other, rather confusing.
So...
Could anyone be so kind as to summarize, BRIEFLY, in a few bullet points, any pros and cons of going X? What works? What does not? Is it worth it at all?
A couple tweaks like modifying /etc/profile.d/developer-profile.sh to get rid of env value errors, resizing the rootfs for more space and finding an sd card that played well with it. But really, no problem. I love it, and any complaint would be nitpicking.
That said, I don't really use the Android stuff. In fact, I haven't installed it since I reflashed a few months ago. I don't miss it, either.

- kernel is built without modules support so you need to use the community kernel
How does one go about flashing the community kernel? Thanks!

But the XA2 got really better specs than the X, and now I can confirm it.
I know I'm stuck on android for few months top, but for 200€ a brand new XA2, there is no debate where you can't hardly find a used X below150€ ...
The finition is a lot better than the X, the screen is bigger and don't have edges

Hang on, are we talking about the same XA2? The one that is wider and thicker than X and costs about twice as much on eBay?

Because it's not. It's a low-mid range phone, whereas X was almost top of the line.
Specs are almost the same. So I don't understand what clovis86 is so excited about.
