A big hello to all fellow Sola users and all our great developers! Yeah, that's right, a great guy, Gabriel Stevan, has already ported Xperia S ICS to our Sola. I found him on Antutu where I saw his Sola running ICS and scoring around some whopping 6k @ 810MHz and around 7k @ 1.6GHz :-o I connected with him on Facebook and he told me that he had ported ICS but was unable to upload it due to poor internet speeds I'm sure many of you would love to have it but it is totally up to him. I don't know if he is here on XDA or not but it was a wonderful news so I couldn't resist sharing it with you all.
However, with the official update nearby, getting a ported firmware hardly makes sense but I sincerely do think that we must applaud his great work.
If he is on XDA, I'd like him to reply too.
Thanks
For sola? Hmmmm

wtf !! bro u serious !!! hope he uploads it very quick so v can check it out on our Sola !! and as far as official release of ICS is concerned there's still no date or so and u never noe with the impression Sony has been creating lately with delays in upgrading to ICS for latest handsets, i wont be surprised if they hit a delay with ICS release for Sola bro !!
will appreciate if u can upload links to the video of ICS running on Sola !!!
This is great ! But You might as well wanna link to us his facebook account so we can also talk to him.

Sorry mate, I don't have any video of his Sola running ICS. I just found him on Antutu and had a chat on FB on this. He cannot upload his work either, because of poor connection speeds
Wouldnt it be better to port from the p to our solas becouse they have the same chipset?

I'm actually thinking the same thing, but the guy has already did it. It was really impressive, hope he can share it with us soon.
should ask him to share how he ported the rom
btw wouldn't you need a ics kernel for sola for a ics rom to work ?

I think you're right :good::laugh:
Sharing my thoughts on this alleged port, which would be great if true.
Well, I don't know the size of sola roms, but if the ROM is 200MB, and let's say he has a 64 kb ISDN connection or whatever, the upload would take about 7 hours. That ROM would finish uploading while he is at work/school one day. So if he managed to download all the framework, source and tools to make this happen (which would take about 15-24 hours I guess, in this case), he would also be proud and eager enough to share his work by uploading it.
I tink we're talking proof or gtfo here.
It would be possible to almost clean port an Xperia P build to the U, because hardware wise theh are mostly the same, apart from the RAM in the P.

HI,
i just wanted to share my thoughts on the lack of development that i'm noticing these days. When i bought a XMP, i was seeing a lot of mods and development happening in the XMP forum. New GB Roms/updated ROMS every week. Increasing performance week by week, Then sony released ICS, buggy and slow. All devs soon started raping it, but nothing great happened (apart from kamarush's minicms, which is still not very stable, also has camera recording stuttering). I've seen and used ROM's that came out such as RealICS, NeroICS, ICEHybrom.. all lacking performance, ROM's like real ICS does have issues with XMP (camera flash light not working properly), we also lost a good dev 'bbooff' due to idiotic members demanding like they paid a million $ to him to develop for XMP. The thing is most dev's are not devs, they are just modders. There are flaws in sony's ICS, unless you know how to debug and re-code and fix the actual problem, there is no point in simply putting all the optimization scripts and tweaks in the ROM. Most of the so called devs are doing the above. The only exception is kamarush and expacer, though they also have their limitations. GB development is halted! why?
I'd request the real dev's (kamarush & expacer) to try to fix the issues in sony ICS and the other modders to work on GB versions.
Plz do share your thoughts on my thoughts.
They both are now busy with JB. Maybe its can be really better then ICS. Just give them time and we will see how good is JB on our phones

I too hope JB version to be better than ICS. But i am not sure if they can make all the features work properly, such as Xloud, FM and bravia. Those are sony proprietary stuff, if the ICS version files are compatible, then it'd be great. but i highly doubt so. Anyhow, lets hope for the best.

I'm sorry if this has already been posted anywhere, or if it's too early, but I would like to discuss the Android 4.0.4 ICS update with the few Xperia U owners.
I read that it might be coming in late August, do you think they will provide the update this early?
Nothing much more to discuss really.
I just hope they will give us an update as early as possible, pretty sure we'll get it in early September.
And it needs to be stable.
Sony Mobile Italy had mentioned that ICS comes in the first week of Aug. God knows!

I think the locked bootloader isn't a big problem. My U is blocked too, but when we get ICS (I think) we can root it, and so we can install custom roms. We can't change kernel, but we can make CM roms what are working with stock kernel. I will do this too
Hopefully we'll get it this month, I might also get JB for my Arc S!

Well actually they drop their devices, like they did with x8 its got only 2.1 official firmware, but since Xperia U is anew device we will get ICS and in nearls future i hope JB. Sony is slow with their updates but they dont like other manufacturers, they did their updates unique and smooth like butter and tottaly different from others and for that they need some time
I remember the x8, I still have 2 of them. Both run bug free 2.3 overclocked and they never give any problems. I would have enjoyed the phone a lot less if it were not for the amazing devs over there, stock 2.1 is very limited and boring. I hope sony dont forget about the U and deny us JB. @dsaklein its nice to see a familiar name around here, x8 was getting a little old.

That's buxxxxit! Sorry for the language (and I'm talking about Sony's statement!). Mobiles like Xperia J, or L has the same resolution as U but they got JB. My last hope is in FXP or even Sony releasing (after almost a year) a free-bug and speedy ICS release!

This is what sony says
Hi,
I understand your frustration. Believe me when I say we have really tried this. One difference of Xperia U and Xperia go is the screen resolution. This comes into play when in relation to RAM in the device. Xperia J is on another platform and Xperia E has the same resolution as Xperia go.
In the tests we made we felt that the user experience wasn’t good enough with Jelly Bean in relations to the few new features in that upgrade on some of the phones.
So there is a pattern in the update strategy. I’m truly sorry if this makes you like Sony a little bit less.

Thanks. As I've said previously, my only hope is the FreeXperia Team or a Sony ICS stock firmware at least decent (I'm on .54 and it feels laggy!). I'll wait to see if this .100 changes something for the better.
Open source archive is not changed as it was with .89 firmwire... so, it might be more reworked firmware
If anyone need link to open source archive 6.1.1.b.1.89 source
Hope this update....fixes
Slow camera & autofocus
Notification sound prob
Better multitasking
