Sony Ericsson is substantially alive of the Android modding accord and different another OEM's who essay and mash it, they're doing their conception to hold support it. Whether it's creating a bespoken storage or modifying the kernel, the Sony Ericsson Developer information is aimed at serving these devs prepare up pleasant and steady bespoken ROMs and they're play with a assemble of devs titled "FreeXperia." These are the guys answerable for creating bespoken ROMs based on CyanognenMod and porting/modifying them to different Xperia devices lke the Play and Arc.

Sony Ericsson was digit of — if not the first Android OEM to foretell they would wage the pick to unlock the bootloaders in their 2011 Xperia lineup.
