[Q] Sony Xperia Arc LT15i

i am currently an owner of one samsung galaxy s plus i9001 and i was thinking about switching it for an xperia arc . so i have a question for the owners of the device: if it is worth it ?
my device is having 3.4 kernel under development , a fully working cm10 and a semi functional cm 10.1 .

Galaxy S and Arc S are almost similar in terms of performance. The only difference is that there is no official ICS for Galaxy S as Samsung did not include Galaxy S in the ICS Upgrade.

i'm reffering to Arc , not arc s .

The only difference between Arc and Arc S is just the processor. Otherwise both phones are almost the same.

If you can, go for something better.

Why do you want to move from one single-core, 512-MB RAM-equipped phone, to another single-core, 512-MB RAM-equipped phone? If you really want to make a move from your Galaxy S Plus, get a phone with better hardware specs.

[Discussion] : do you want Firefox OS on xperia s?

As the title said, do you want Firefox OS, on sxs?
Sony released the kernel(Linux 3.0.8) and system source of firefoxOS for xperia e , so porting should be possible
What do you think?

Will be nice

It would be great if it works on locked bootloader too..

Porting isn't possible. It's impossible to port kernel from device which has different SoC. We have dual-core when E has single core.

You read it wrong. Only the system is from xperia e. The kernel will be using xperia s kernel. And since Firefox os uses Linux kernel, I think it can be ported.
Edit: and yeah, ofc I want to try the firefox os. It'll be very nice..

So guy which want to port it must made new kernel from nothing. So it's impossible.

ooh.. you just dont want to say that you're wrong right? j/k.
well, the devs have source for xperia s kernel (the 3.0.8 one, from Sony, and/or cm10 kernel from fxp and others), and there is source from firefox os too. and you know, there is ubuntu touch for xperia s in the development thread right? it can be done, so why this (firefox os) is impossible?
still, i dont know for sure though, as im not a dev or anything. just using my logics

The kernel is very similar (90-95%) to the stock sony kernel , but it has firefox os patch and xperia E Soc(msm7227a) drivers .... I'll only include all the xperia s drivers and adapt the rom to xperia s hardware ... It's a dirty way , but I need first to get it booting , and next we can improve and fix it.

Yes.

It will be useless i think, you will loose your time to do it.
We already have too many great roms, what are working really good, and i think (that's my opinion) we do not need firefox os.

if its work why not
its always nice to have another new things
if you want any help pm me

It would be nice to try FirefoxOS on our phone

Firefox OS would be amazing! I heard rumors that they use the same drivers from Android. Would anyone have a clue where to begin?

Thankfully you don't get to decide what we need or don't need,

It will (always) be great if someone tries to do it:good:

FirefoxOs share a lot of part of the HAL from android.
We have to begin from the kernel, after we get it boot, lets start adapt the rom

It would be nice to try it out - it's always nice to have options to choose from. That being said, i doubt Firefox OS will catch on because even Ubuntu Phone OS will have wider audience and a bigger usage base.

The look and feel of Xperia Z2 on older devices

I was wondering if there was a way i could get the Z2 features and apps on my Xperia S(rooted/running 4.4.2 custom rom)
I tried aroma installer but the Z2 apps/launcher are not working

Hmmm i know a dev that is working om porting the entire firmware but you will need a unlocked bootloader
Keep am eye out for Xperia 4.3 official firmware and 4.4

Hmm, very interesting. Did you manage to solve the incompatible driver problems or are you using the 4.1.2 ones?
Or are you guys using a CM10 based ROM to port 4.3/4.4 apps and features? I'm very curious indeed

Well tornado007 is porting 4.4 right now
We may port the drivers or make new ones based on blichen97's 4.4 aosp
I personaly am working on Envi-OS port for xperia s

I assume it's going to be very hard to create the drivers to run official firmwares on our old Scorpion devices.. But very interesting. I'm still surprised there is a chance to receive a "Semi-official" 4.3/4.4 updates.
Sorry if I'm being inconvenient, but what is left to completely port it?

Well im working on messing with blichen97s aosp kernel and tornado007 is working on the display drivers, for the port
Porting CM is easy, porting aosp harder, porting preconfigured OS's is very hard because you have to deal with crap spesific for that device
We havnt gotn far at all
(irrelivent news)
Envi-OS (server version too) works for XS , its in pre-alpha... Next month XS will get it
(ultra boot now drops boot to less than 1 second)

Hmm, I see. Good to know.. If when the development gets more far and you need a tester you can PM me anytime, I have unlocked bootloader
Sorry if I'm being too nayve, but I did a quick research and coudn't find anything related to Envi-OS.. What exactly is it?

We have a tester but more testers means more ground covered
I think Tornado007s 4.4 may be out in a few weeks to a month
Envi-OS is my own linux OS
It contains unique features like ultraboot RFMM
Main features:
UltraBoot
Drops boot time from 2 seconds to less than 0.5 (on xperia s)(boot records :0.1 seconds , on xperia s)
RFMM (ram file merge mount)
Allows you to expand your ram through mountable files on your storage (upto 128gb)
Krynik Home environment
A home environment that includes a phone,phablet,tablet and desktop mode, default to phone in xperia s but you can use desktop mode
Krynik engine
In phone(phablet and tablet mode too) mode desktop only programs can run in phone mode the engine makes programms act like Sony small apps a little bit
Envi-OS isnt public but in a few weeks ill put the website up and release an alpha build
The plan for the os is to unify or make your devices more useful or easy to use
Ill screenshot My OS if i remember to

heh i wouldent wait on envi-os , it is in pre-alpha.
4.4 port is what we are throing a lot into so it should be done in a while (like said before preconfigured roms are anoying)
that shouldent take too long
also ill be buying a XZ2 so Envi-OS is coming to that and maybe a comunity Stock plus project
tornado007 has a XZ So maybe envi-os will come to that (ill ask if he can port XZ2 camera too)

4.4 port is tough.. We need to build display drivers from scratch which is a huge burden.. I am although trying to contact pro devs and get help.. I am not a genius who can write 10000 lines of code without help.. Although willing to give it a try.. Don't get any hopes up just yet.. Its still unsure that such a kernel can be built to make the official 4.4 from XZ1c to work on our device.. I may need a dev like niaboc or bilchen to make such kernel.. If i were u, i would not get my hopes up..

I figured it was going to be difficult... I wish I could help but I still have zero knowledge of programming languages. I Wonder if it is really possible to create such kernel even with help from pro devs like DooMLord.. I still have hopes but at the end of the year I'll be retiring this Xperia S, so anything until there is welcome!

There's no way someone's gonna do it. We don't have any developers.

I have done TWO ports in my life, maybe i will try to port it to our t3, using the AOSP that sony released for our device... But AFAIK is not stable so i think it would be a wastw of time..
