Will there come a stock based jelly bean Rom?

The question is in the title. I don't know if any dev can port a stock jelly bean Rom from a other Sony device. Is there a chance that we can get a stock based jelly bean Rom?

No. Android device manufactures have agreement with google to support there products within 1 year prior to release date. After that 1 year they are no longer obligated to maintain or upgrade existing handsets. This decision alone promote self-efficiency which allows manufacturer to develop newer handsets without being held back to software or hardware limitations.

Simply put, NEVER

You can use Jellyzeus as a alternative , its stock android. I prefer it than stock sony look. Others opinions may differ though

I have jellyzeus.
I like the vanilla android look too but with stock based Roms it has better performance.
There are also themes to make it like vanilla android.

Which rom to flash for a friend

Hey guys,
Knowing that I'm a long time gs2 and nexus4/7 flasher, a friend of me just asked me whether i could make her xperia arc s faster. She's apparently on ICS and the phone is quite slow indeed. Factory resetting didn't help that much.
so my question is: is there a decent ROM for an xperia arc s which fulfills these requirements:
- stable
- faster than stock
- no/few potential dealbreakers (stuff that doesn't work opposed to stock)
- no bloatware, possibly close to stock android
Is there such a rom?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

You can just search the Android Development Forums here.
Since your friend is asking for something similar to AOSP, she can go for a CM ROM.

Can you recommend one from personal experience?

It's not allowed but in my experience i like racing bean its based on cm 10 jelly bean rom its very fast and pretty.ICS based rom is Ultimate HD the best if you ask me.Bit all other ROMs out there are almost good as these two but i think these two are popular.

I am currently using CM10.1 right now, although recommending or comparing ROM is not allowed.

[Q] Chances of LG updating the G Pro at all?

What do you guys think, will LG even update this phone anymore? to any version, or even another OTA value pack that will bring the cool updated features of the LG G2. The reason I'm asking is because I'm fine with stock right now, but I would love to have the speed boost of a newer version of android, that's the only thing keeping me from rooting and "Roming"? again if they still plan on updating this awesome phone than I have no reason to root and rom. What do you guys think?

If I'm honest, I'd say we MIGHT, slim chance MIGHT, see an update to 4.2. Or maybe just a Value Pack update to bring over some features of the G2.
The advertising for our device was botched, and LG even admitted to it. So, the popularity of this device, isn't as high as it should. I wouldn't expect another update, but then again, LG has surprised me before.

I don't see Lg updating the gpro specially with the Lg g X soon to be out for sell, which is exactly the same phone as the gpro spec wise. I hope Lg proves me wrong but for now Im planning on rooting my gpro rather soon. It's a shame the phone was only an at&t exclusive here in the states or else it would have been much more popular and had more support from at&t.

Is there good support for CM out there? Because of the missing sources I assume, because LG isn't releasing them, I guess.

Yeah download DOT cyanogenmod DOT org/?device=e980&type= there is a stable release for CM 10.2 right now which is 4.3.1. and nightlies for CM 11 which is 4.4.2 or Kit Kat.

And can I flash them if they are not for my device anyway? Because the LG Optimus G Pro isn't supported yet is it?

I don't have enough post under my belt to give out links just yet but try this

just highlight it and than right click it than go to link

Another option, if you don't want to flash a custom rom: stock rom + root + xposed framework ☺
Sent from my Optimus G Pro using Tapatalk

What can I do with this xposed-framework?
Gesendet von meinem LG-E986 mit Tapatalk

There is a leaked version on 4.2.2 China version floating around the forums, but it is way too buggy to try on other variants. We may see an official 4.2.2 update in the near future, but due to US carriers like AT&T who do like like pushing updates to phones that are not their flagship device, we may nit see that update. But, we can only hope and wait.

You can get certain features that are available in custom ROMs such as Nav bars, Advanced power menus, tweaks to the status bar, tweaks to lockscreen, you name it. Be careful though some of these won't be compatible so I suggest using the gravity box module. It has everything you may need

Discussion: Sailfish OS

Hello Guys,
in the last time I read a lot about the Sailfish OS developed by Jolla and running on the Jolla Phone and a few other devices including the Nokia N9 and the Galaxy Nexus.
Jolla said that it wants to publish its OS for android smartphones and I decided to open this thread to inform you about Sailfish and discuss it, so we can maybe build up an userbase and so become a part in the Sailfish development for android devices as soon as Jolla publishes its sources.
Jolla wrote that it shall be easy to install Sailfish on every android handset. I have no clue how that will work out and what effort one has to take to actually run it, but it seems as if Jolla wants the users to have it the easiest way possible.
What is Sailfish OS?
It is an OS based on Meego and so in linux, just like android. But there are a lot of differences as well:
The navigation in Sailfish works via gestures, swipe inside the app to the left to go back, down to get into settings, from the left edge to get to the homescreen and more.
The homescreen consists of an overview about open apps in tiles, which are partly interactive.
The system itself is very open to developers and runs even android apps with help of the so called "Alien Dalvik" VM.
Another striking point is, that, other than most if the other OS, it does not force you to have unnecessary apps installed, even the android app support is a module you can download in the market and doesn't use your resources if you don't want it.
The administrative rights (~root) are easy to gain.
I link you a video here that shows you the newest update on the Jolla phone, the new version is considered stable.
The battery of the Jolla phone has 2100 mah and lasts with this update about three days with moderate use. While he does not explain "moderat use" closer, a user said he used whatsapp a lot and so, while I get only one day with moderate use (whatsapp and e-mail), out is likely that the battery time would only improve.
Of course this cannot be guaranteed, but I would like to read your thoughts about it.
what do you think about Sailfish?
Especially concerning the fact that our beloved Xperia ZL is generally less supported than Xperia Z thanks to Sony not making the effort to advertise it as XZ :/
Greetings

Update:
here a member of the xda Community pasted a mail concerning the development state of Sailfish on the nexus 4.
It's as well mentioned, a tool called something like "Hardware adaption" which will work with every cm10 Rom and apparently turn the (Sailfish) Rom into a device specific Rom with the drivers used in cm10.
In my eyes it's very likely that this is also the method Jolla may apply when releasing Sailfish for Android.

So Guys, apparently the Alien dalvik (to run android apps on Sailfish) may not be available on Android hardware due to licensing issues.
Still interested?
Personally I was not planning to use the Alien Dalvik anyways, but for many users this may be essential
What do you think?

it would be a good breakthrough for our phone

Dont be sad @keenofhiphop
Consider yourself lucky that our device is almost identical to xperia z so our awesome devs can port it.
And i heard that jolla will make sailfish available for higher end xperia devices so we come in that category
If you need help pm me or search
I will try my best to help you out

That's right as well
As I am no dev I would even take the time to learn it as it *should* be easy if you believe Jolla.

There's a Whatsapp client for sailfish called Mitäkuuluu (or similar) and it is said to be working pretty fine. There's even an indie Tapatalk client for sailfish.
So it's not that there are no Apps. There are just less

I hope so! It's so beautiful! And seems really good!

Yeah that would be so great but having Ubuntu Touch would also be very nice, here is a porting guide on it so maybe anyone can do that? I can't I dont have a PC which could do that so anyone out there could make it!

And we have already a working CM10.1 which can be used as base.

That's right but it's still Android so you have the soft keys and so on the design of the apps themselves is also still Android and you can't change that.

That's what i mean! it's still basic android. I liked the pac-man rom, but there is so much not working. I just wish we had some real android 'skins', like the sailfish os, firefox os, ubuntu touch, touch wiz all those.

And for every other OS that you want to port you need CM 10.1 and that's the version we have.
