Develop Bugs

No Development

This forum seems kinda dead now...once the Ion came out this forum thrived for a bit. Sadly no roms or themes
We have CM9 though, which is good news. Though sadly only a handful of us here can actually install it.

Delete
I would delete this post...i made a similar thread about 3 days ago... and people raged so hard. It was slightly funny, but i guess i really hurt someones feelings
so please remove or you will face the wrath of online anger...

Why? Its just disappointing to see that a phone with great potential have rarely any development. I understand that we do have devs here (thanks to all for CWM and other mods and such) but its still disappointing.

I'm hoping that when the Xperia T comes out in more regions that Sony will let us unlock the bootloader (though I'm not holding my breath). Once unlocked I'm pretty sure that things will pick up a lot. Kind of sucks that such a good phone is happered by something so stupid.

Yeah, once we are able to unlock our bootloaders things should definitely pick up. Hope that MIUI develops for the LT28 soon aswell. This lack of customization is killing me.

I guess that's what you guys get for being early adopters and hoping a dev community will spring up. If you want a phone for custom roms and other things you should wait till you are sure there will be developers for the device.
Complaining that there isn't dev for a device you already bought knowing at the time there was not much development is pretty dumb if you ask me.
I for one get a device because I like it as it is. If there is further development for the device after I get it great but that's just a bonus.
Just like buying a phone in hopes of an update is not a wise decision, buying a device hoping their will be development isn't any better.
You also have to remember the.ion wasn't a flagship device or one that was pushed very hard so there would obviously be less interest for the major developers to work on it.

I like the phone aswell, but coming for an Arc with an unlocked bootloader i just miss the customization you know? We can only hope that the ion will get dev attention eventually.

Thing to remember also is the ion is very much the same as the Xperia S with a few small differences so mods for the S shouldn't be too hard to convert to the ion.

Well said - you know what you got - it's your decision buying/sign contract for. So what's there to whine about. Xda is a plus IMO.

Also rather than complain you cam take actionand learn yourself. Android is one of the most open source project since html. There are lots of resources available to learn and I know this because I for one have noticed the lack of developments so I decided to learn.
Also begging for development doesn't help the cause. If you would like resources to learn start with developing simple apps and expand.

If i knew how to develop miui that'd be great...thats all im really hoping for
EDIT: Is there any big differences between the ion and the acro s? Cobrato's just released a method to convert xperia s roms to work with the acro s. Heres the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914328
EDIT2: Nevermind, doesnt work. Possibly we could figure a method to exploit his conversion to work with our ion?

But without CM9/10, you cannot port Miui.
Now, that Cm9 is out for ION, we can try and port it.
I will give it a try.

Proudly announce that there's a Vietnamese person has released an Rom Cooked name X-Ion Kudo v1 on local forum. Let's search and try

Just checked it out, nothing special. Just a stock rom with various tweaks that i could do myself. I'm really hoping for MIUI to develop for the ion

I have already tried porting MIUI. But I could not go beyond the MIUI Logo.
Since I am on CM9, it is easier for me to keep testing. Hope to get it right soon.:fingers-crossed:

I hope you get some good results!

I think one reason why this phone is lacking devs is that there are too meany of these xperia phones out that are all pretty much the same and with the prices being the same as well. I bought my wife the lt28h due to it having support for what t-mobile calls "4g". With these devices dev will come easier from ports of other similar phones. It is only a matter of time. We the owners of these ION phones have but only three choices 1. Learn to dev 2. sell phone buy one with heavy dev teams 3. Wait for developments. I for one would be happiest with a fully working ics/miui or a ics/ASOP. But I am pretty happy with just the stock rom for now.

We have now CM9, CM 10 and MIUI. Not so bad for a phone that has a locked bootloader in the U.S. and has begun selling in Europe at the same time as the Xperia T.

According to this, aokp Jelly Bean is on the way for unlocked bootloader.

I'm hoping we get a few more stock kernel roms too. Unless we figure out bl unlock someday. But overall, I'm pretty happy with current state.

WE ARE ONE​THE UNION IS STRENGTH​
"For:
Sony Mobile Communications :

Sad but true,but im full of hope,i am belive i japanese

Really, petitions? Unlock bootloader and flash customROMS with kitkat and you're good to go. If you don't want, shut up with the petitions non-sense, xda is not a place for signing petitions or to even spread about it, makes the community stupid. Don't you think?

I guess this is useless. Xperia M has sony support till November so we can except something. There were also some rumors that after M2 update sony can release kitkat for M.
Sent from my C1904 using Tapatalk

KitKat update for M2 is on the way, accordig to some googleing SP also may get 4.4.2 but M is not on the list, tho i found something that KitKat for M might be in testing, or at least in consideration. I really hope well get some kind of update, at least for app2sd, as M2 will recieve support for it with KitKat update. That was officially announced by Sony...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a difference between official Sony(the company) and some very active people running a site called Xperia Blog which keeps people up to date with Sony developments.
These guys/gals at Xperia Blog have their finger on the pulse of Sony, but don't believe they speak for Sony.
Sony has, just announced(updated support pages to reflect) that phones like the Xperia T TX and V will have Android 4.3 as their final Sony release.
The Xperia M is still in it's 18month(more of a guideline than a rule ) support honeymoon period, with time on it's side for future developments.
Fingers crossed.

Exactly! sony has not said no

but they didnt say and straight yes either. so all about KK on XM is a hearsay for now i'm affraid

In my opinion a petition against sony or any oem for releasing a new software (hotfixes and such excluded) is useless, because they need to develop it and their programmers want to get paid. If they want to release it, ill be happy, when not, ill still be happy, because it will be still useable (i still use 4.1 and im happy with it)

don't think this works yet hoping so signed :good: it. And yeah we can unlock bt and install kitkat roms but we can't make it work exactly like Sony original release with Sony skin and apps.

there is no reason for not signing this petition, come on everyone!

It is not probable but it is possible they will release KK...

Just updated Update Center.
Only for xperia apps update or maybe Kitkat possibility :what:

I'm not really okay with this. You can't rush something while it's in development, or else it will result in bad quality. Perfection requires time. It's the same thing how developers hate being asked for ETAs for their ROMs. It's not an easy thing to do and it would be better if we would just wait.
But it wouldn't hurt signing this petition...

I would rather see 4.4.4 than 4.4

Xperia M updated mooted soon...maybe.
I was about to grumble about the lack of Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (BLE) support and reading through the posts I came across the following Sony forum post.
This would indicate a forth coming update if the post is taken at face value....and maybe BLE too. :victory:
These comments/post should always be taken with a pinch of salt, but the BLE issue has been known for a few months and Sony did say(as posted) they'd investigate... plus a lot of forum poster have really strong armed Sony(bless them) on this.
Does Xperia M support Bluetooth BLE?
So, maybe affirmative action and software upgrades are no more than a well documented problem away.
More than likely not Android 4.4, but nice to know we are still on Sony's radar and that they're thinking of us.

[Q] Will be supported over time?

I bought this tablet with pleasure last week, and I saw how much "ROM" There are, in fact there are many!
I wanted to know, according to you in a year or two, the situation will be like? If there is any developer who reads these lines, what do you think? Svilupperesti for another year from now or hope for him?
Little Offtopic: I paid it € 215, is a good price?

Great price!
I'm not a developer, but I hope they'll continue to support this device for 1-2 mire years until it becomes obsolete.

Please contact LG if you own the tablet and ask them about Android L support. I have already done so and they only could say "no decision has been made at this time". The more of us that contact them and ask the question the better chance we have of seeing an Android L release of the stock software.

Just tell them you represent XDA!

When I was contacting LG support for SD card bug, I asked if they are planning for android L, their response was that they will patch SD bug, but do not plan to upgrade android version...but who knows, we must believe. And if not, custom ROM will work

The Google Play Edition will ( or should) be upgraded, as the upgrade will fall into the respective timeframe that they allow for the support of gpe devices. Guess we'll see.

Seriously, though, while I think it's a must to nag LG about continuing support, I'm not sure there's enough of a user community to get LG's attention, unless their past track record of updates has changed . . . .

Okay, thanks to all for replies..
About unofficial rom what do you think?
Ps:I have send an email to LG for official update, but the reply is a standard "we don't know".

Sony Ericsson W200i unlocking

Dear All,
At the outset, apologies if this request is not in the right thread, however i think it should be, and if not, i am more than happy to get i removed and be moved it to the right one!
I found a brand new sony ericsson w200i phone in my garage and thought of putting it to use. It is locked to the orange network in the UK and I was wondering if any one has the right firmwares and steps to get it unlocked? That's all my request is.
I am more than happy to provide any further details, if required.
Also, I have tried searching on google for over 3 days now however I have not been able to find the firmwares (SEtools and the flash files). I may know the steps a bit as there still exist the videos, however if anyone with right guidance can help, it would be a big favour as I am planning to gift this phone to someone who can not afford a phone.
many thanks in advance!

Wow...
The Sony Ericsson W200i Walkman device is really not a very active device for developments and such.
The following area of the forum is probably your best bet regarding anything for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-mini
Don't worry about the "Xperia Mini" reference because that area basically morphed into a multi device area for the "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman" devices.
Good Luck!

Xperia XZ1 Compact - Android 10 Update

Here we go guys, Some manufacturers already showed their roadmap to android 10 (nokia, one plus etc) today.
Im creating this topic to discuss the Update Release for our Phone, so we dont have multiple threads for discussing it. News and things like that are welcome.
Android 10 will be released very soon for the Pixel.
Now let us pray that we are also going to receive it. And hopefully not like in 2023.

Was anybody able to compile the AOSP version from Sony for the G8441?
I just ran into errors after starting to compile with make command.

i highly doubt we'll get Android 10 for the phone...
the phone is already 2 years old and between years 2-3 it will probably receive only security updates...and that will probably be every 3 months too.

Yep, and Official Android 10 binaries 5 posts above is just an illusion, you are completely right !

I'm hoping for a full Android 10 Sony branded update, but not holding it hope.
We've got AOSP support, but there's a lot of driver and codec deficiencies in that build, like losing aptX and H.264.
https: developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/supported-devices-and-functionality/current-platform-functionality-maintained

Hey Sony - please make a Difference and keep updating Devices to latest Android for (at least) 5 Years.
i'm sure that would also increase Sales !
