Guys from XDA-Developers has ported the HTC TouchFlo 3D that comes with HTC Windows Mobile devices for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.
Here is the TouchFlo 2 3D HD Beta 3 running on my Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1:

To install HTC TouchFlo 3D on your Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 you need to install two .cab files EnableRapi.cab and TF3DHDB3.cab
You can download them from the XDA-Developers release thread here.
However as the forum does not provide detailed installation instructions and RapidShare downloads are troublesome for many users, I am providing step-by-step instructions and providing the downloads on my own server.
Step 1:
Download and install EnableRapi.cab
Download EnableRapi.cab from here:
Download EnableRapi.cab from dotcomUNDERGROUND.com
After downloading, install the .cab to the phone memory.
If you already do not know how to install a .cab file on a Windows Mobile phone, follow these instructions:
a. Connect your phone to your PC with the USB cable. This will bring up the Microsoft ActiveSync.
b. On Microsoft ActiveSync, click on the “Explore” button on top.
c. Transfer (drag-and-drop) the files to any location on your mobile. You can safely transfer it to your storage card.
d. On your mobile (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1) go to “Start > Programs > File Explorer”
e. Browse to the location where you transferred the EnableRapi.cab file. Tap on it and it will start the installation.
Note: You MUST install the EnableRapi.cab to your phone memory. NOT storage card.
Restart your phone after the installation.
Step 2:
Download and install TF3DHDB3.cab
Download TF3DHDB3.cab from here:
Download TF3DHDB3.cab from RapidShare.com
Download TF3DHDB3.cab from MediaFire.com
Download TF3DHDB3.cab from dotcomUNDERGROUND.com
After downloading install the .cab file to your phone memory. Follow the same installation process described above.
Note: You MUST install the TF3DHDB3.cab to your phone memory. NOT storage card.
Have patience with the installation. It does take time!
After installation your phone will get rebooted and load the HTC TouchFlo 3D.
HTC TouchFlo 3D takes the place of the default windows mobile today screen. While switching XPERIA X1 panels, choose the panel at top left to get back to the TouchFlo 3D screen.
Fixing the broken Camera soft-link:
After installation you should notice that the Camera soft-link on right does not work.
To fix it you will need to copy /Windows/CameraRunner.exe to /Windows/camera.exe (on phone memory).
You can first copy the /Windows/CameraRunner.exe to your desktop, then rename it camera.exe and move the file back to your phone memory to the location /Windows/camera.exe.
