Hey i have Sony Xperia S , i heard that android 4.1 and 4.2 jellybean are going to be directly from Google (vanilla android) is it right ?
does the Sony Xperia S going to be as a nexus phone or every thing is just a lie ? and i also read that first Google wanted to do this project but then get dropped off ? please i need answers
Xperia S was selected as an AOSP device but was dropped off due to some legal issues. The good part is that sony took it over from there. The device was successful during the experiments as said by the head of AOSP. No it is not going to be a nexus . Yes , we can see a vanilla android on our phones in the near future.

Sony took over because Google doesn't have the proprietary drivers required to make it function 100%
( that's what I think)

Just my opinion, but why would you want or need "pure" AOSP ROMs when you already have amazing AOSP based ROMs like Cyanogenmod or AOKP? To me this is and always will be just an experiment, again just my opinion

I believe if they get a Sony version of AOSP it should be a fully working version, no bugs. Then FXP & AOKP can use the Sony source for their custom versions.
I think Sony already holds rights to use drivers from various manufacturers. Google would have to pay, but Sony already did.(I think)

Didn't think of that, you make a good point there.
Maybe they will even make it working for locked bootloaders, so that could be a benefit of Sony working on AOSP for XS

Not very likely. Sony has locked bootloader on devices due to contracts with carriers.

Hey guys,
As the title says we have a leaked Jellybean firmware
I'm already starting to port features to our Xperia S, I'll post the things I've ported in themes section
The post is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36788563#post36788563
The leaked firmware is meant for developer devices so I cannot guarantee that I can port everything properly!!
Please post the most desired things that you want here, so the other thread can be used for problems with the ported stuff itself
Please also thank Doomlord here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36785957&postcount=1
Hoping for the xs build port soon

I think I will port the whole Rom to Xperia ion and then S, I will use CM10 as base, but maybe if krappabel did it it would be better as he have much better experience than me, anyway maybe we could team up? Please PM if you are interested

It will be good if you keep all the applications and features, it loses interest when people remove the apps because it takes too much space or because its useless, that will make a completed rom goog!
Might be an obvious question, with an obvious answer, but will this enable devs to get the official Sony camera working on JB ROMs?

No. XT is Qualcomm S4 device, XS is an S3 device so it are totally different drivers
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
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.

Together we are stronger .... most common sentence in the former Yugoslavia, but it's true.
Sony maybe have no interest bringing 5.0 to XS but we do...
I just love my XS.
When I first saw XS in the store I immediately fell in love with it.
Great design, great device... But I am aware that they will not update it forever so I hope dev on xda will

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.
first of all, sorry if this is already a duplicate thread, i can't find anything regarding Xperia E port to Arc.
Xperia E is known to have inferior hardware specs than Arc, but this one have stock jellybean (4.1.1?)
was there any straight port from the dump of Xperia E so that we have a close official form of stock sony jellybean, to run on our Arc?
i know also there are jellybean custom ROMs for Arc around, tried a few but it doesn't match the overall responsiveness of gingerbread. also, the custom ROMs more often look like stock android, losing the Sony style, but this depends on the owner's taste. for me i still prefer the Sony style and look.
i would assume the Sony stock jellybean running on Xperia E to be minimalistic and fast to support its hardware, so definitely would run better on the Arc, plus the Sony style is there.
is there anything out already, or no dev much interested in this? thanks fellow xda arc users!

ok, so is there no Snapdragon S2 that got upgraded to jellybean?
those with Snapdragon S1 lucky to be jellybean ready then
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?
None!

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.
I'm trying to find unlockable Z1 in Croatia - I really like that device.

Screen isn't really bad it's great HD screen but some users reported that they have that stupid yellow tint over screen.
And that's extremely annoying from Sony.
I'll buy it but only and if I can check it first (I already arranged that).
There's great little piece of software for screen testing so I'll use that.

you will receive even 5.0 if came out.. But stability may be problem.
Anyway, i am on the way to upgrade to Z1.
I believe 4.4 will come some time later.
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 saw this in some site.. Can someone translate this.. I think we may get 4.4.. :silly:
