[Q] More kitkat roms?? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I'm a smultron user,
For high end models we could see a large number of roms present (we could even make a big list) but for xperia 2011 devices there are few roms out there but they are all stuck at ICS or JB 4.1 or 4.2.
The jellybean 4.3 are very very very few.
Since the android 4.4 [KitKat] is made considering the devices with 512mb ram like smultron can we see a large number of 4.4 custom roms with great features for our devices??

Hmmm...the key word is " BE PATIENT " about it...there no Custom Rom yet for 4.4...just wait until Cyanogenmod Team release their Custom Rom first then ONLY then we can talk about 4.4 Custom Rom on Xperia 2011 devices...

Haha....before you get too excited, here is another key word for you " COMING SOON "....are you sure its coming soon as officiallysonyrebel said????
perhaps you should read THIS and THIS....
Cyonagenmod team HAVEN'T started to build rom for 4.4 and yet officialsonyrebel confident that it will coming soon...for your info, Beanstalk rom are also base on CM source code...if Cyonagenmod haven't started building it then where will any dev get the source code????
i quote....
we will continue to work on the 10.2 code branch, in parallel to all of our Android 4.4 efforts. For those that will inevitably ask, we have not made any decisions with respect to what devices will make the leap to the KitKat code base and likely won’t have that information for a few weeks

We are not in a rush to get 4.4 builds out . We are going to continue the process of working on CM 10.2 M1 - getting that out the door and onto your devices. Further, we will 'finish' the 10.2 code base, similar to what we did with 10.1.
As a friendly reminder, please don't flood us with requests for 4.4 - we all want new and shiny things, but we will not do so at the expense of abandoning the hard work our contributors have put into 10.2.
Final note, a lot of folks are reading into the "512mb" item on the release notes. No, this does not mean a sudden resurrection of older hardware, there are dependencies beyond the RAM (and CM has enforced that minimum since ICS)

I guess it is for a reason. In all JB roms on 2011 Xperias camera's quality is poor, also hard to make some stock apps and features to work.

officialsonyrebel: current update is the last update for 4.3 ... as we are moving level up to 4.4 Kitkat .. for all 2011 line up..
I again read what he wrote and it seems that he meant to stop 4.3 with that build and start to work on 4.4 when it is available...

That's from the CM post ...
It will take lot of time & effort for a 4.4 port ..........Dont expect anything this month or this year for that matter ....
