[Q] Is MIUI going to come out? (As in does anyone want it?)

Hi,
Im wondering if anyone would be willing to port MIUI to the Xperia Play. I prefer it over sense in some cases and love the simplicity and design element to it.
Vote if you would want it, so we can see if people would actually use it.
At the moment i am using a heavily customised MIUI look alike CM7 but I still prefer the offical MIUI!
Thanks,
XperiaPlayer

I'm pretty sure MIUI only gets ported to officially supported CM7 devices and even then only really popular devices. So it's not impossible but I'm pretty sure CM7 isn't officially supporting the XP currently so it looks bleak.

Isn't the Xperia Play officially supported by CM7 anyway. (Well soon, isn't the source combined or something...) and isnt there a way to get hold of the MIUI source code and alter it for our devices? (Or is it closed source...)

[Q] One X and CM9...

I'm so, SO interested it swap my SGS2 with a One X. It looks so gorgeous.
My only concern is about the Tegra thing.
I guess how much control / development the amazing CM team will be able to obtain over the phone.
I briefly looked around and only found a port of CM9 for the OneX, while still no official.
If I'm not wrong, US saw the OneX only very recently, so perhaps it's simply too early for that.
What do you guys think about it ?
You feel like Tegra (which is nVidia, one of the most reluctanct player in the market to open up things) could be a major issue for custom developers ? Thinking of CM9 and future CM10...
Best regards

I dont think its a big issue, considering the transformer prime is running CM as well.
Plus, the current inofficial CM9 build has full hardware rendering enabled already. There still some small issues with RIL which causes volume issues with the earpiece and non-functional WiFi Hotspot, but everything else works just fine so far.

Thank you for these consolidated infos !
Those made me some more confident

I don't know why it doesn't have cm9 just yet, I think HTC as already outed the sources

want to run pure aosp on xperia s

my mom has this phone, and it's painfully laggy and slow compared to newer device such as iphones, s3 and s4 that most of her friends own.
she ask me if i can do something to improve her phone.
while i know using a pure aosp rom wont make it faster than current high end phones, but there should be some noticeable improvement.
some time ago, xperia s receive quite some buzz for being in the aosp project.
i did not follow the news, but from what i expect, i hope for a pure aosp build or rom to run flawlessly on it.
after some digging in google, so it appear xperia s was kicked out of the project? not sure what that means.
but some kind of thing called 'binaries' was relased. its just 1.5MB, certainly not a rom that i can flash
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...droid-open-source-project-for-xperia-devices/
and checking for CM support, shock to see that xperia s was abandoned since cm9, what the heck? this is flagship phone from sony,
same generation as the s3 and htc one x
so is there no stable good aosp rom? all the aosp project is just for nothing? how is the 1.5MB binary helpful?
Sony is always praised for being developer friendly, but their phone dont even have CM support.
samsung being criticized, and yet even the first gen galaxy S1 has official CM11 nightly (that kitkat yo)
So what is going on here?

There are stable 4.2.2 and 4.3.1 versions

That official AOSP project never amounted to anything for the end user really.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391058
That's an 4.3 AOSP ROM from letama. It's completely stable and will work like a charm for the "general" mother type. Some games don't work and 1080p recording is not good. Other than that, it runs faster than stock S3, S4.
Or this if you wanna run CM.

Bro! See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2555243

[Q] Which one is the latest Android generation with working FM radio?

Hello, guys!
Can somebody please tell me, which one is the latest Android generation with working FM radio for Arc?
Is it CM9 or CM10 and with which radio apk is FM radio working? Spirit FM or some other app?
Is any chance to have working FM radio in Android KK?
Thanks for the info in advance!

Since there is no answer on my first question, let's ask you another way - is there any chance to compile a fully working Kit Kat ROM with 2.6 kernel, with FM radio working?

Upto 4.1.2 almost every rom has radio working with 2.6 kernel, no fm radio with 3.++ kernel

KK will not work on 2.6xx kernel, you will need kernel 3.xx which does not have FM radio due to no driver support from the chipset manufacturer.

That's pretty poor to read and to know. A friend of mine, owner of the Samsung Galaxy S3 just got an official update to Jelly bean, expecting a new one to Kit Kat, and Sony leaves their flagman phone's users without support and with unofficial releases from CM only. Poor, Sony, poor experience from you!

I don't trust Samsung when it comes to software, their ROMs have always been buggy and full of problems.
You can't blame Sony as well, the update window is well past the 18 month period since the phone's release. They may have the obligation to fix bugs, but not the obligation to update the phone to a newer Android version.
That's the main problem with most of the users here; they expect the manufacturer to update the phone to the latest version of the OS, which is not 100% feasible due to hardware restrictions and some other PRBS by the company. Sometimes having an old but more stable ROM is more beneficial long term. I have been using a custom 4.2.2 ROM for almost a year and I find it good and stable enough for daily use. There's no rush to update to KK and face more problems with the OS since older ROMs are able to meet the demands of the end user.
The only issue with Sony is that I would have liked them to release the sources publicly so it can save the developers time and effort to develop custom ROMs.
Just my 2 cents on the issue.

So what about that:

it was quoted in another topic but no one answered whether exactly this are the drivers needed?

I'm on KitKat already and it's actually not half-bad, aside from a few random glitches here and there. Still too fresh to be perfect I guess.
I think that Arc's hardware is the main reason for the lack of further official upgrades. It'd take too much work to get it to work perfectly with all of Sony's additional apps and branding required to make it flashy enough for an official rom, if it would even be possible at all. Short on ram as well as internal memory as it is, I'm honestly amazed what developers are managing to port to our beloved phone.

Find 7 and questions about Oppo phones?

why on earth did they not launch this phone with Kitkat?
anyway I have a question regarding Oppo's software support, is it good? will they quickly update Find 7 to Kitkat? I have heard that Oppo's software are rather somewhat unreliable, is it true?
about Color OS, is it good? is it full of bloatwares or not? how deep is the customization?
will Find 7 have official Cyanogenmod support? how about other custom ROMs?
thanks for answering!

Oppo listen very much to their user base and they will update it to KitKat. You can flash other roms to Oppo using their stock recovery, they're partnered with CyanogenMod so Cm roms should run well on their devices.
As for other custom roms, it depended on if the Dev want to develop for it or not, if you purchase a Find 7 for them, they probably will. Hint: Take a look at the Find 5 and N1 development section.

The oppo stock recovery flashes CM. OPPO are developer friendly,they even got OMNI Mediatek sources for the R819 (not an easy feat Mediatek are NOT willing)
They did not launch with kitkat because they are still adding features (ColorOS 2.0). They do that. If you are concerned about latest android version get on a custom rom like CM from the start,because OPPO don't move up the Android version until the previous ROM is stable enough to discontinue. The ROM itself is quite nice for a manufacturer skin,not bloated at all,and has some nice features built in you really miss if you go custom,but some people just hate the colorfulness so to each their own.

CM will probably have builds out within a month of release...

My concern with running CM on this phone is, will it lose features? Like the 50MP super zoom mode?

Yes you'll most likely lose SuperZoom and Maxxaudio with any AOSP ROM. You'd need stock based for that.

what? but didn't n1 retain it's features with cyanogen?
and can't you just install specific phones apps to get it's features?

Yes, because CM built the phone with OPPO,far as I know,they're making the OnePlus One ATM. So yeah, it'll be like on Find 5 most likely.

I haven't heard any news regarding a Cyngn partnership for the Find 7.
Remember, after last year's events, when talking about CM, there are really two different entities which are semi-connected:
CM - the original CyanogenMod open source software project. The Find5 was originally maintained by community members who were solely involved on this side of things. All of that team left for Omni as a result of the Focal relicensing fiasco (This is why the Find5 never saw official CM10.2)
Cyanogen Inc - Referred to from here on in this post as "Cyngn" - The corporate entity created by some of the Cyanogenmod leads
Cyngn was partnered with Oppo for the N1 so that Cyngn could gain experience with taking a device through GMS (Google Apps) certification. There has been little to no CM community involvement with the N1 - it's a purely Cyngn affair. All community efforts on the device are focused on other projects (Oppo sent preproduction N1s to people involved with CodefireXperiment, Omni, Paranoid Android, and a few others)
Cyngn is currently partnered with OnePlus to focus on their launch device. They aren't even putting much effort into the N1 now if you read any of the user reviews. (Both official 10.2 updates are full of bugs, and CM11 has had broken location services for two months now with not a single word from the development team.)
So the support of the Find7 by CyanogenMod is unknown and indeterminate. It will likely involve community effort if it happens, but all "community" contributors with current Oppo devices are working on other projects. Omni support is HIGHLY likely, I would not be surprised if, like the Find5 and N1, it proves to be one of Omni's best supported devices. CodefireXperiment and PA support are also highly likely (Actually I'd say pretty much guaranteed in the case of CFX, Oppo and Anders get along as well as the Omni team gets along with Oppo). (While PA usually focuses on Nexus devices, there usually have been exceptions for Oppos due to Oppo providing excellent support to Aaron from PA.)

Its the best phone out without a doubt right now .. Might even beat all new HTC one .. It's a no compromise phone .. Except speakers idk if they are good or bad .. Also you can choose your own software oppo skin or cm(later) and paranoidandroid. I'm very impressed .

returning to the color os talk, do you think it will be a long time before oppo move to kitkat based color os?
and as I asked before, is it true regarding color os instability and incompatibility with common android apps?
and I'm glad if Paranoid Android will indeed come to Find 7!

About the apps yeah,there was a thing about Lightflow not working,but its usually a one app thing,especially if it works by identifying the phone,mostly coz OPPO is so unique. As a plus ANY Chinese app works without a hitch when they give other manufacturers incompatibility issues
Omni is confirmed,Maxwen is getting a Find 7.
Unless i'm wrong ColorOS 2.0 should be kitkat.

Well I would consider the battery a moderate compromise. 3k mah is not really sufficient for a 5.5" 2k screen. I was really hoping for 3500mah or more.
I'm wondering how the screen compares to the Note 3 OLED screen. The Note 3 has an extra .02", extra 200mah, but Samsungs OLED's aren't as efficient as SLCD's.
The batt life is the defining factor here for me and I would assume a great many others. If HTC can deliver on this, they'll take a good few percent of the upgrade market. Damn Sony for not bringing their Z2 to the US. It would dominate the tech-savvy market completely.

last time I heard the screen use new low power tech so let's wait for a review first before calling the battery is a flop.

mhl, hdmi?
Does anyone know of any video output port on this device such as HDMI or MHL or any other?

likely not but during the unveiling they used a find 7 to output audio using huge cable, maybe it was just a huge stereo cable though.

I heard the lower-end version Oppo Find 7a is better than Oppo Find 7 in many sectors, like screen, performance, etc. I really hope that Oppo equips this phone with that brilliant touch-less voice command just like on Moto X. It's gonna be really awesome for this phone. In fact, i think all of the new phones in 2014 should also have this feature. I mean, the real touch-less voice control when the phone is still locked. Unlike Google Nexus 5's "Ok Google" voice control that can only be used when the phone has been unlocked.
