Xperia S - Android Jelly Bean - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Just and open discussion.
Do you guys se any possibility for us to receive update to Android Jelly Bean??
[EDIT] 06/28
Including informations about ROM Android Jelly Bean available for Samsung Nexus, now we can start trending informations to have Jelly Bean available for our Sony Xperia S as soon as possible.
For those who work/knows android development, please join us.
Google Stock ROM Jelly Bean can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
This link is not for Sony Xperia S, please don´t try to install in your Sony Device.
[end EDIT]

I hope so, I think we have the hardware

I would think so. The hardware is enough compared to the confirmed JB devices. Hopefully Sony will be a little faster with JB than ICS.
Dare we hope for a late Q4 release?

It will more faster than GB because of Google focused on giving end–user a faster and smoother experience!

Sony is to lazy and foolish to make this update.
You will see they will find and tell us some reason that even dosent exist but they will hold us on ICS.
Shame but, boys get real, it sony.
X10 can run 2.3.4 but will never run it official, back then when came and now.

Seeing the whole 2011 line getting support, I don't think we should still judge Sony by its x10 standard.
Or you can stay in your 2009 as we move on to 2013

"google now" is what I want, Hopefully someone can hack it so we can have it for SXS

i really dont care.....because even if the sony refused to give update for jellybean, our xda developers are there to help us!!! With lot of hard work and programming skills, if they can put ICS in a device like xperia x8, then i think its not a big deal for them to port JB for our device !!! :good:

Ill start thinking of JB once Sony brings us a smooth ICS without bugs.
Once that is in order, ill start to look at JB and what that could bring. Ill not mess up my mind with something 12 months into the future, but rather wait for ICS and a fix.

Yes On Behalf Of Google, Its Possible
BUT
Where The Company Is SONY We Are Talking About
Then Its Unreliable
XPERIA PLAY WAS CANCELLED IN 2011 ICS UPDATE LIST

I will be cynical and say no. Sony released these phones with 2.3 so that they can easily upgrade you to ICS and then say "hey we have already provided you with one upgrade, as per Android manufacturer's standards we will only be providing one delayed update". If the phone had shipped with ICS (which it should have) then they would be obliged to update you to 4.1.

Oh Please !
Unknown13x already mentioned Xperia S will get the JB update. So stop whining all!

Well I only have an Xperia P so maybe I will not be as lucky (still waiting for ICS). Either way I wouldn't count on anything until you actually get an update notification. Having been an owner of a few HTC Android and Nokia Lumia devices you learn to only believe what you see and not what you read on forums (or even from official company press releases).
4.1 isn't as big of a jump as 2.3, so I have my fingers crossed.

^
P may be getting JB too. We will need to wait for unknown13x to comment on it though.

Or maybe it's like the X10: we get every second update. X10 started with 1.6, skipped 2.0, updated to 2.1, skipped 2.2, updated to 2.3.. So in our case with the xperia S: 2.3 + delayed but promised 4.0, skipping 4.1, updating to 4.2 (!?)^^

as I read JB should work like IOS ! smooth as butter ! Hope we will recive it sometimes(faster)

we will get it end of Q2 next year i bet haha

We're definitely getting all 4.x branch minor releases. It's coming when it's done, they should be able to do it earlier now that the PDK is out and it's a minor release so not many low level changes should be needed. I'm hoping we get kernel sources before AOSP drops so we should, hopefully, be all set to compile it the day it's out and move on to merging it with existing custom code bases such as AOKP and CM.

Ok, seems like these devices are getting it: S, P, AcroHD, SX and GX almost 100%, sola, U and go quite likely, ArcS might get it later but that's all speculation.

[Q] Rumors about 2.3.3?

Is there any leaked rumors on 2.3.3? Although 2.3.3 is released in 1-3 months, it's surprisingly few rumors. Strangely, the only rumors I heard is those fake pictures from the Chinese forum.
no...
This thread is dumb.
Apparently not, otherwise you had not bothered to anwser
That makes no sense...
I'm trying to (hopefully) dissuade you from making such pointless threads in the future

I do not understand why you think this thread is dumb. Why is it wrong to discuss rumors?
There on 10000 threads about the update already...
The photos may be a fake, but update it's certainly true because it came from official sony ericsson blog, and support answer all question about it.
Since it is obvious that you are skeptic about release here you go :
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Which on mine language means that 2.3 will be available for X10 in late Q2, early Q3..
Anyway you can find it yourself on sony ericsson support page..
Just be patient, like I m..
"Rumors" from SE themselves:
Instead of leaving its X10 handsets on Android 2.1, Sony Ericsson has just announced it will upgrade the Xperia X10 to Gingerbread, deciding to confirm this after it “was able to deliver a good user experience” with the latest Google firmware.
Only unlocked handsets will definitely receive it, with carrier updates coming on a case by case basis.
When will the upgrade be available for me?
The roll-out is planned to start end Q2/early Q3 this year. Today, XperiaTM X10 is available in the market both in generic trade version and in versions customized for operators. Due to the resources available in this special project, we will focus on delivering trade versions of the software. Regarding possible customized operators kit we will have to get back with more information on this at a later stage. But we want to be very clear already at this stage on the fact that some of you may not get this upgrade.

This means that if you want to have you upgrade, you need to have the generic version or you can flash the generic version on your x10, this most likely would work in the same way.
Also they will release this based on areas "i believe", first usa or china, then,... ,...

Actually I'd go as far as to say they'll release the update first in scandinavian countries based on the fact that that's what they did when releasing the 2.1 update. Also Sony Ericsson HQ is located in Sweden so it would make sense.

[Q] Android 4.0 Custom ROMs?

Hi there,
as i was reading about the release of the Android 4.0 source code i´m asking myself how long will it take until we have a custom ROM based on android 4.0!
Are some crews already working on it?
Please give me a feedback when you can!
we will get the roms when we get the roms. CM9 should be out soon now that they have the code, which they said they needed to start production, so possibly when we have that, our devs can start punching out some roms. also, in the ICS thinktank on the development page and for example the nexus s forum, they are working on the touchscreen drivers so that they can test more components of the rom.
just be patient
seems to be a lot of time until we have some roms. also Z isnt around anymore.
dunno how to deal with touchscreen drivers for the nexus s! why are they important for a X10 rom? touchscreen is already working isnt it?
as Sony Ericsson is an official member of CyanogenMod now, im woundering that there is NO build for the X10i...........
Curios isnt it?

Official CM support has stopped for the X8 and X10mini/mini pro, since 2.3.7 is the best thing that those phones can handle...and the aftermarket support for X10 would end soon I believe, maybe right after the stable mod comes out.

The FXP is the official one? Seriously?
The FXP Rom is far away from being stable enough for daily use. Weekly updates and not even finish sources for all parts.......
They are working for a long time on this ROM already and ey..... dont get it wrong.... i´m dontating ALWAYS when using a custom Rom as my daily one.....
....but in last time i lost my faith........
Z gone away! He was the mega-brain behind many progresses........
Dunno what we have to expect in the future!
Will the FXP team finish there work sometime?
As far as i know the FXP CM7 is NOT based on Android 4.0. Its base on? 2.3.4? I dont know........
I was getting an eye on the Galaxy Nexus but it is soooooooo expensive .......
going to stay on my X10

When all the bugs are gone, it will be released as stable.
Go join the bug hunt if you want it faster...
It's highly unlikely that we will ever get a fully stable Android 4.0 rom, for the reasons listed elsewhere in these fora. We may get ports, but they will take time, and lots of it.
Be patient and don't ask for ETAs.

It's not based on anything, they are literally making a rom with sources that they are writing. That's why it took ages compared to other ported roms.

Actually the rom is very stable for daily use with very minor bugs that they are working on. if you have lost faith in a device that is 2 years old with no support now from SE heres some advice, get a new phone! but for the rest of us who enjoy having such a great array of developers that very capable of bringing us support when we need it. Yes Z has done alot for the X10, but dont forget other devs and dont just focus on one.
First rule of CM7: Dont ask for an ETA! you must be patient like with anything. If google and samsung released ICS earlier, imagine what we would be missing.
Well clearly CM7 isnt based on 4.0, cos the source code has only been released to us. you cant expect every dev to be up day and night sitting at there pc waiting for the code, they are real people with real lifes.
Well if your going to stay with the X10, please for the love of god, stop complaining about how we havent got ICS roms yet when no other devices has a nearly stable one yet.

at first: I did not ask for a release date of a ROM!
this thread is meant to discuss about what we have and can expect in the future for our X10. Its not made to complain about ppl or the devs. It´s meant to get the facts cleary for everyone.
STOP RAGING IN THIS THREAD!
So about the android 4.0 storry: Sony will spend an Android 4.0 update for the X10 ARC! The normal X10 isnt that far away ........... but still such a big prob to port it?
There will be alot devices which get a stock update to ICS and they will be stable.
The point i dont understand is why devs are working that hard on a mod which is already outdated..........
Ofc they try to re-create android with there own source codes but ey.......... you seriously thinking about writing your own operating system for a mobile phone?
Android have been founded by high skilled (and highly paid) informatics guys hired by google! I guess 50% of our devs are <18 years and not even skilled in programming. Don´t get this wrong now..... i dont want to blame you guys! But why do you think we can write a new firmware..............?
Maybe you running behind the wrong goals ............
For me the crew should focus on Android 4.0. Thats the only ROM ppl want to have now. And ey yeah it would be awesome to have ICS on my 2 years old X10!

First, it's quite hard to port 4.0 onto our X10 since we have a really old kernel (.29), not to mention whether our hardware can handle that or not...
Second, the FXP team's goal is to get the X10 up to CM specs so that we can have as much official CM support as we want until the newest android versions become too much for the X10 to handle.
And don't even try to say that most of the devs here are below eighteen, because most of them aren't and have a proper job. If you are looking for child labour to develop your device you're at the wrong forum.

What we have: an almost stable CM7 ROM.
What we can expect for the future: a fully stable CM7 ROM.
What we -might- get: an ICS ROM that probably won't ever be stable.
By the way, what is an X10 ARC? Never heard of that device before.
Assuming that you mean the Arc, there are huge differences between the X10 and the Arc. It will probably not even be practical to try and port ICS from it.
The devs are working on "outdated" CM7 because it is most likely to become fully stable after some work. If they start working on ICS now, they won't have a fully stable CM7 ROM to help them. CM9, based on ICS, isn't even released yet, so do elaborate on what you meant when you said the mod they were working on was outdated. There isn't even any phones with ICS yet...
By describing the devs as under 18s with little coding experience you are actually being extremely naive and disrespectful. Go have a chat with aZuZu or DooMLord about kernels, you'll see what I mean. I don't know if that's what you were intending, but you sound quite rude.
Building a working, let alone stable, ICS ROM, or any ROM for that matter, is not easy. It takes time to build, test, find bugs and iron them out.
Also, for your information, a handful of devs are already working on an ICS port alongside their current projects. Have a quick look in the dev section.
I hope you see my point now.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we'll get it by the end of the year.
I hope Sony doesn't further delay ICS (it was supposed to be released by now per Sony's schedule, but delayed for the end of July) because of JB, I want 4.x ASAP.
i hope sony skips ics and gives us JB instead the offline voice messaging feature is awesome

they cant afford to miss ics i would suggeest as the phone has so many problems in its current state i.e software bugs and call/network dropping. If they dont sort these quickly then nobody will care about jellybean as they will have got rid of the phone by the time that happens. Im on the verge of this now...at the end of the day it has to function as a reliable phone and at the moment its not.
It most certainly is on it's most current released firmware, B.1.564. You can downgrade back to it, B.3.162 was pulled and you should not be using it.

so what am i missing here then?
so they brought the phone out, then released an update for it to solve what?....and then realised that actually it created more problems than it solved and then pulled it?.....where have they then come out and said that you should roll back and put the original firmware back on it?
seems to be very few forums for the xperia p anywhere so ive not come across much information about how this problem is being fixed. Would appreciate any links or info you have though as i really want to give this phone a chance but its being let down terribly at the moment.
Already explained here. I suggest reading the stickies in order to familiarize yourself with Flashtool and for other useful information regarding the NXT line.

yes you gave me the link etc in the xperia p thread which i thanked you for however my question was around the fact that having released a firmware (.62) in a bid i assume to correct some problems it seems that it actually created more than it solved. You have recommended that i roll back to the earlier build that i have not actually ever had as the phone updated itself within a few mins of having it. I am willing to roll back if you feel this will make the phone more reliabe as a phone however i was interested to know where it had been said by sony that we should do this or where the general discusion on here was about it.
what ever we get we get it quick and bug free i heard xperia p has alot of bugs in gingerbread

Exactly my point which is why they can't afford to wait until the end of the year. They need to sort it and sort it fast, don't think there has been one solid phone in the xperia range released yet. All have so much potential, fantastic hardware and then ruined by shoddy software.

You're definitely getting it sooner or later.
I'm guessing ICS in late July or early August, and JB somewhere in Q4 2012.
Though the sooner we get ICS and Sony releases it's kernel sources, the better... I'd like to see some custom ROMs floating around, especially FreeXperia's CM for the P.
ICS is on the way right now as we've seen with the Xperia S and other handsets. As for Jellybean, you'll be looking later in the year, if not in the new year. Well, I suspect.

Compared to the SGS2, the P is actually in a little lower range. The S is about the same.

Jelly Bean to Xperia 2011 Line Up

I was just searching around for Jelly Bean information and I came up with this link:
http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/sony-2011-xperia-handsets-might-get-jelly-bean.html
Our phone's MIGHT (Not officially announced for the update but not announced that we won't get it) receive 4.1!
Does anyone know if this is actually legitimate or just a hoax because I don't want to get my hopes high
If SONY Want to release JellyBean for 2011 Line-Up they should be telling us some statement about it
So For Now just Dont think to much about JB on 2011 Line up Xperia dude...

This is old news, sony come out ages ago saying that arc s and mini pro wont be getting updated then sony come back redacting that comment saying their spokes person was wrong and that they dont know if they will update the 2011 handsets yet or not.
No point in worrying about jellybean, we have a nearly great cm10 build, and expeacer may drop his cm10 and let fxp carry on since they are the cm people for xperia, and he may, dont quote me on this, but he may do a pure aosp 4.1, so it wont matter if we get jellybean or not from sony coz we already got it haha

Doesnt look like we will get latest android 4.3 for 2011 line up. The 2011 models are scratched by Sony. Only if few developers can port something for us.
If Xperia X8 got Jelly Bean running, I am sure some devs will port 4.3 onto our 2011 Xperias. Can't guarantee that it will work fast and be stable though.
1st of all, Android 4.3 is not even released yet. Even if it does get released, it will take maybe a few months before a developer actually succeeds at getting a working ROM.
Don't expect anything official from Sony.
sony are getting like Samsuck behavior-abandoned their old devices after making more new shining device..after all,xperia 2011 line are still in 'Ericsson'..hahah

This is a 2011 Xperia forum, so we are talking about 2011 Xperia devices, not 2015 ones.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
4.3 should work well on 2011, 4.2.2 (pac man) is not laggy on my xmp.
Since 4.3 is even lighter than 4.2, I'll say it will still work well, better I hope
4.3 will be probably come with less feature such as radio and camera in 4.2.2
4.2 is still not stable for our device, don't think 4.3 will be better despite being lightweight.

not all is about performance and lightness, may new android dosent support some hw-codes from our oldschooldevices, aloso we must think on camera, it was a long way to get it good working on cm10.1..... there also other problems, u can only tell if u get it boot on our devices (even this is hard devolpment..) but lets hope the best

... like said this u now only when 4.3 gets booted on our devices (and use many, many logs ) and i dont think so, the camera leaked from 4.3 worked for me on 4.2.2 but only bug was u cant see wahat u shot ... (small compared to 4.12 & 4.2.2 problems)
it think 4.2.2 is really stable only think may is battery drain if u heavy user...

As of i know.... There will be a release of android 4.3 a.k.a CM 10.2 for our devices too..... coz I just saw a few videos where android 4.3 was installed in Galaxy Gio and galaxy SII
So Fingers crossed for the CM 10.2 to release for our devices as soon as possible
Chances are good. In first screenshots I saw that Android 4.3 is using kernel 3.4, the same as Legacy Xperia which is based on 4.2.2.
There is a chance that we may get Official CM10.2. :fingers-crossed:
Till then Mike is providing support for most of 2011 Xperias (LegacyXperia) :good:
Let sony release the JB camera drivers first. Then i will worry about android 4.2.

i was @ SONY EUROPE LTD. headquarters here in berlin and asked about the drivers
1. it was really hard to find somebody who i can ask about that,,after some discuss with 2 ppl and the security man they only gave me a appointment. (for other day)
2. i was there. there was an guy who maked a cigarette break, and he was quite an asshole (sry but its true.) he told me (in short) that i would be to much work to find these codes in sony bcuz our devices are old.
great sony. :thumbdown:

no wonder sony is going down... can't the people at sony search a little and provide us a fortune... i wish sony ericsson was still present
The facts is,
When Sony Ericsson turned into Sony, they spent plenty of money in development & production of new devices to make a fame in market; but kept the hardware same/old for successive devices. Now condition is, they have way too many devices to maintain & money to spend on software development & software distribution for all the devices manufactured so far. It's not economical for them to do so now but as we customers have spent our money into their devices, it's our right to ask for software updates. So now they are giving reasons only to avoid old customers.
Now 'Xperienced' customers avoid Sony.
