I really hope not. How long do you think they will keep it updated ?
Galaxy S2 has went from Gingerbread through ICS and now it's getting Jelly Bean. Since Xperia S is starting from ICS, does it mean it will be getting new android after Jelly Bean?
XS is starting from GB,but it was an outdated launch anyway.Sony agreed to support phones(at least flagships) for 18 months of release or with 2 major updates.So somewhere in august it ends for the S.BUT,the Xperia SL is released in September,and it is exactly the same phone(just a little higher CPU clock speed).And it started with ICS,which means it should get at least JB 4.2(though that's not exactly a major update over 4.1).So if the SL gets it,the S should too,even Sony-style excuse for not doing it will sound just stupid.
well if sony stop XS on Jellybean (hope not), we still have CM rom .

SL will stop at August also. Look at Arc S. Got the same fate as Arc...
And I'm pretty sure we won't have beyond 4.1 by Sony, considering Qualcomm didn't gave the sources for 4.2 for our S3 processors (which isn't exactly their fault, as they are a bit outdated. ) T (and variations) and V are the only ones that should have official 4.2 or luckily 5.0, if Qualcomm cooperates.

Samsung did a good job with their S II for keeping it updated but damn TouchWiz UI sucks ****. But yeah speaking of Qualcomm not updating their sources/drivers for our devices...

That's why we have xda .
Custom rom's are fast, stabile and we already have 4.2 - ok, it's not for daily use but I'am sure it'll be soon.
So, when Sony relese official JB and dev from xda get new drivers and other stuff they need - we'll get stabile 4.2.
The other day I installed official ICS ( I'am on JB for a few month's) - it didn't last long , I just don't like it anymore.
So...long live XS and xda

What we (XS users) and other Snapdragon S3 phone users (such as HTC Sensation HD) can do is sign a petition asking for sources and drivers for Android 5.0 (or 4.3) for our processors.
At the end of 2011, users signed a petition asking Qualcomm to release drivers and such for the ARMv6 (Snapdragon S1, for example) for ICS. It worked. That's why devices like the X10 Mini and Mini Pro, X8 and other companies devices have fully working ICS or even JB with camera.

Samsung makes their own chipsets so they don't have the same issues as others with sources. If Sony isn't able to update it beyond jelly bean then it is totally qualcomms fault for not putting out the resources necessary. Look at the Nexus 4 which isnt even AOSP because of qualcomms dumb ass. Their is something to be said about making your own hardware.

Exactly its on qualcomm to deliver.
If Sony could only supply the dev community here with the drivers we would easily have the most updated Android phones.

Xperia media apps (walkman, sound enhanscements, gallery,download music info)
Xperia status bar and launcher
Xperia camera
Btw with the recovery of stock ics kernel o at least a recovery that works ok, not like the other ones that mess up everything with the partitions and cache.
And that's all i can think about right now. :good:
Ive been trying to gather those myself but its almost impossible as i always end up with a bootloop.
Uh um, I would prefer to develop on a stock base. Also, we are any way going to get official JB so no point in theming CM10 to look like stock right?
Thanks a lot anyway

I'm an ion user but if you're going stock based I'd just like something that's fast and smooth. My current stock ics slows down all the time. If you make a fast stock based rom that works on locked bootloader me and a bunch of people would be super happy.

How about helping rayman to develop pure cm10.1 rom ?? So the development of the rom will be faster and will be the best rom .... Pure CM is the best rom i think and many people use it to based their rom, because the development is daily and many user reporting bugs ....
And now it's only on v4 going to v5 ..... I think you will be busy to develop that rom

Well i must say i appriciate your work, nexus, for XS, cause people with locked bl are left with no choice between sony and AOSP, i think you will have a bunch of users when v.2 comes out, also when JB comes. Only thing that stoping people to decide for your rom is. FW.55 base instead 45, 50 . Cause they already rooted on those FW and it is much simple to do, cause no need to use flashtool, and not riskig warranty because then can revert on carrier braded Fw in chase of trouble,
Any way i realy hope that you wont give up nexus xperience, i have been searching for it long time
Or try porting Cm , pac,...on LBL especialy for people that cant unlock BL,like me, i would unlock it if i could, and there are many folks in same situation

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have come up with some ideas. Please participate in the newly added poll so that I will know what to build. Also, I will be able to make roms only for Xperia S/SL as I don't have any other devices. Sorry. [ Unless someone manages to port it of course ]

That would be quite difficult and apart from being difficult, apktool has a problem with our phone's framework-res.apk and hence whatever you do, after modifying framework-res.apk, the phone bootloops. There is a work around for that using a binary diff program but it would be extremely difficult and time consuming.
Hy i have been thinking for a while and wanted to suggest you to take look in xperia neo development section, for rom called jjdoctors hybrid i used that rom when i had Neo, and its awsome,support both BL statuses, i think you would have a great response, and many users in XS section
What do you say?

Good news
Back in June, we reported of a new Sony Xperia S (LT26i) firmware update that was rumoured to arrive in early July. Well obviously that did not come to pass, but apparently a new update is still on the agenda for Xperia S/SL owners. Sony pretty much confirmed as much on the official support forums, saying that it will have build version number 6.2.B.1.XX. There’s no ETA for the update, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.

And yes, this is keeping me away from flashing PROPER Custom ROMs, which means that some people (incl. me) will have to stick to 4.1.2 forever...

I actually prefer 4.1 ROMs on xs coz they're much more stable compared to 4.2. I have had battery issues with 4.2 ROMs on xs. Hope Sony release a faster, more stable and more efficient 4.1 rather than 4.2. Lets not forget xs runs on over 2 year old cpu.
[OT]My Wildfire S runs with CM10.1 nearly better than with Stock 2.3.5. But let's not forget it has a CPU that was already 2-3 years old when it was released (ARMv6 generation). [/OT]

What do you think are the chances are of Sony releasing jb 4.4 for our devices I mean our devices would be more than enough to handle it.
What do you guys think?
Would it still be possible even though Qualcomm has stopped support for S3 snapdragon chipsets?

i think the same,there are no chance of getting android 4.4 kitkat.at the most we may get 4.2 or 4.3 jelly bean but there are only 2% chances :fingers-crossed: lets hope for the best.but we may get the taste of android 4.4 by great xda developers with less feature that depend on any new type of hardware
That's the weird thing 4.2 & 4.3 are said to be more hardware intensive than 4.4 and it is most unlikely we will get them for our devices.
Yet a lot of websites mention its likely that 4.4 will hit the Xperia family including the S.
What is also been said is 4.4 will or has been designed to run on aged out devices from:
512 RAM
Single low clock speed processors
And our phones come in the mid range of the Xperia family.
Which exceed the suggested minimum basic specs nneeded.
I wish Sony could just say yes or no wether it was possible as I don't want to upgrade as its only been 6 months since I got this device it's ggood but I was surprised how quickly this was shunned and newer devices came out from Sony.
When I see Z1 released with 4.2.2, 4.4 for XS is just a dream.
Sony must sell Z1 as new flagship and it certainly won't update and support 2011/12 device anymore.
I would like that, of course but that won't happen.

Screen isn't really bad it's great HD screen but some users reported that they have that stupid yellow tint over screen.

Some expert in XDA will make it. But Sony wont
remember snapdragon has stopped supporting s3 cpu that's why there's no kernel for jb 4.2 and 4.3
yeah experts in XDA are making it now but i dont think sony cares about it
Our lovely Xperia S is now an orphan. Only users care about it
The performance can definietly do 4.2 4.3 or 4.4, but sony just want us to buy new phones

I don't think that they are gonna update the Xperia S anymore. It's a shame as it's a good device, I hope they don't do the same and abandon my Z1 after 18 months like they did with this device. Hopefully tho they might update this but it's very unlikely

Abandon? You expecting lifetime of updates? They didn't abandon Xperia S. The current firmware is fine.

Why must there be? There are unofficial versions, just use those. Are you expecting Sony to keep every single phone they ever released up to date? There must be hundreds by now (okay that was a hyperbole, 48 according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia), noone can keep up with that. If you must blame anyone or anything for the short while that phones are getting updates, blame Android because it's so hard to install on hardware (compared to more classic PC OS's like Windows and Ubuntu/Pick-Your-Favorite-Linux-Distro). Not even the Galaxy Nexus got an update to Android 4.4, and if there was one Nexus that was most like our Fuji-phones it was that one. So if our generation's Nexus isn't even getting any updates anymore, how do you expect a non-Nexus device to get that update.
Seriously, I don't like this either, so ever since KitKat I haven't run a stock ROM. Now you've learned that if stock updates are important to you, you should get a Nexus or a Google Play Edition device. Sony has been known not to be very good in providing long term updates ever since the Xperia X10 (their very first Android phone). And if you can't afford to get a new phone every 2 years (because that's how long it'll be relevant), you should stop being so sensitive about updates and be happy with what you have.

Best not buy a HTC, support isn't great there either. The One X(L) isn't going beyond Android 4.2. If this is important to you, there's only q Nexus, a Google Play Edition phone or maybe a Motorola Moto X but we still have to see how long Motorola is going to support phones now they're part of Google.
And indeed we wouldn't be much without Rayman or bilchen. But it's like this for the vast majority of Android devices.

I tried several KK-based roms for xperia S, but all gave me random reboots
had some on 4.3, but with 4.4 I have too many to be stable as dayly driver.
i guess they all use the same kernel (open semc), that could explain why the all have it?
but... why do some people claim to have no reboots, and others have em 'all the time'?
i'm now on nature rom (4.1) and no problems at all, it's a great rom, but i really like 4.4 as well.
will there be a stable kernel/version soon?

First of all, the XS it's not just another phone sony launched, its a flagship device that only got two major updates (one actually cause ics should have been out of the box) so I at least expected 4.2 or 4. 3, even Galaxy s2 got them
second, the galaxy nexus didn't get 4.4 because of Texas instruments (supposedly) and as long as other oems continue to update it means it's possible and we have every right to complain about it

You're absolutely correct that Galaxy Nexus lack of KitKat is due to Texas Instruments. Similar, Xperia S ain't getting 4.2 and above due to Qualcomm, not Sony.

Ok then my mistake, but how would you then explain the galaxy s2 getting updates with a snapdragon s2?
