hey guys, you know I hate to ask this, but what are the chances of Cyanogenmod (or any aosp project) ever being developed for the xperia m? I'm not saying it has to be official or anything, but Sony's interface is driving me crazy, and now with KitKat released, it'd be nice to know that someday we'll get the vanilla experience on our M's. Is any word around?

Yeah well porting the ROM is the easy part. Hope some skilled M owner will emerge and help us in our misery
Really hope that there will be some custom rom for our phone

Blah blah blah...
Things are happening, or going to happen anyway. You know devs will never give an ETA due to reasons that you should have known. Things that should appear will eventually appear at some time anyway.
I know at least one... never mind...
OK well that's something I'm delighted to hear /thread
Its the risk you take buying any phone with non aosp ROM generally it's just best to wait and good things appear eventually.

I have seen CM10 development on many forums but why no one has started development for Arc/Arc s till now?
Even mid-end level phones have already tasted jelly beans with nightly builds releasing almost everyday!!
And Arc has official support from cyanogenmod but still we dont have CM10

No i don't think so.It will take maybe weeks or months for the xperia Arc/S and by the way the xperia play has already got a working Jelly Bean Rom.
No one is working on Xperia Arc/S except free xperia I think.That's why we have no Jelly Bean Rom.

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%

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)

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

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?

hey guys!!!
i am keen to get a ZL soon.. and hell yes i prefer the ZL over s4 or HTC One.. but i just checked out the forum & noticed that not major development has taken place yet.. be it custom ROMs or MODs.. wherein Z's forum is full of it.. that puts me one step back.. will ZL get less development than Z??? I would really want to stick with a phone which happens to be modded & developed... Its strange to know that ROMS for Z & ZL would be different as both of them are practically the same phone apart from the outer curvature & 2-3 tiny features... any takers to explain this to me??
Also battery life means a lot to me.. wanna know from the users as to how is the battery performing.. I am on HTC OneX at the moment & the only think i dont like about this phone is the battery life... need ur input guys!!! pls help!!
The ZL hasn't been made available globally as the Z did, so give it some time for it to pick up in popularity. The Z had an entire month head start on the market, and the ZL was only available two weeks ago.
Would some devs care to chip in as to whether developing for the ZL is any different than developing for the Z?
AW: [Q] No custom ROMS on ZL????
I think most dev will code for Z, because that is the advertised flagship. Nevertheless I hope that Mods and Roms can easily be ported from Z to ZL.
There is a first Cyanogen Port, although the ZL isn't released yet in many parts of the world. Samsung maybe won't get it years after release.
And you don't need 238 different ROMs, you just need one that fits!
If someone would help get me started I'd make a Rom for the ZL. I made a stripped down and buildprop changes Rom on the Samsung mesmerise which is the cdma version of the galaxy s back in early 2011. But I'm not sure where to start now :/

I'm in. The only thing that really needed on ZL is voltage control because the phone gets quite warm during prolonged operation. I don't like it. I see DooMLorD making custom kernel for the Z and I hope he will make one for ZL as well. But since he is busy with life that may take some time...

There is nothing wrong with stock ROM. Only thing is we need more customisation like voltage control and such. Stock Xperia Launcher suffers from lags from time to time. I just use stock 4.2 Jelly Bean launcher and works much better than Xperia Launcher in terms of smoothness and responsiveness

Why don't you give CM or AOKP a go? I know the camera is non functional as of now, but asking the dev again and again is not going to get you anything. He has his personal life to take care of too.

Yup, and more annoyingly this is the sister of the popular Xperia Z, and not even a single custom kernel is available
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).

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:
