While visiting family over Christmas I had a lot of time to relax and be merry. But being away from my usual assortment of computers and gadgets that keep me occupied, I also had a lot of time with not much to do.
I also noticed that Xperia M forums are really quiet, so after our 'traditional' fried fish and potato salad I used nothing but my Nexus tablet to create a very basic CyanogenMod repo.
I quickly learnt that doing dev work on a tablet is really hard. I was just about able to create a few basic files and copy over content I know will be the same on my other Xperia device.
However if I'm to continue, I need to know how many of you want this. Xperia M has all the right hardware to run Android 4.4 KitKat, but if nobody uses this phone, then why bother?
P.S. Don't forget the poll above!!
This would be good for devs to start and produce custom Roms as there is very little development, yes there are kernels available but need a good base and cyanogen mod would be fantastic and I'm pretty sure all users of the M would really appreciate it I know I would and 4.4 would be fantastic

I would love to have CyanogenMod on my Xperia M. I used CyanogenMod on my Xperia X8.
I have Xperia M for a few days now, and it would be great to have 4.4 on Xperia M.
So what are you waiting for?
:fingers-crossed:
That's typical, I ask something just as someone posts a ROM
It's unclear to me why this phone belongs to low activity devices.
It's a very nice budget phone that offers alot for the price.
I am one of those that would very much like to see CM on XM.

Nah, I was thinking of buying a cheap phone for development and Xperia M seemed unloved when I posted.
I'll probably now wait to see what 2014 brings, perhaps I'll get the rumoured Xperia E2, assuming it is still qcom and not mediatek.
Bro pls consider it....its not bad phone....also it most popular among all Sony budget phones even when it is last one to be launched(see survey on xperia blog)
Pls dude if u plan get this phone....WE HAVE NO DEVELOPERS....:crying: :banghead:

Sony will have a big presentation at CES, which is less than a week away. We'll soon see if there is anything on the horizon.
If the Xperia E2 does turn out to be MediaTek, and no other Qualcomm based devices get announced, then I'll likely stick with Xperia M, probably the dual SIM version. I prefer how it looks compared to Xperia L, which is the same price as M here.

It looks like it's going to be called Xperia E1, with model numbers D2004/5 and D2104/5 for the single and dual SIM variants respectively.

CyanogenMod for Xperia M
I would love to see CyanogenMod on Xperia M as I previously owned the Arc S and was running it from CM10 through to the recent CM11 that was being released for the device.
Im also interested in helping develop the rom for the device as I own 2 Xperia M's one for everyday while the other is for development purposes so im not worried if it gets bricked and would like to join anyone else willing to bring CyanogenMod to our devices and get more people interested in the power of this phone

Mobile World Congress is at the end of next month. I believe the Xperia E was released in March 2013, so we should see the Xperia E1 by March 2014 this year.
After that it all comes down to specs and price. My assumption is that Xperia E will not have better specs than Xperia M, but I think they will be very close.
I predict the Xperia E1 will have the following specs:
Snapdragon 200 chipset, with Adreno 302 GPU - dual core msm8x10 or quad core msm8x12
512mb RAM (probable) or 1024mb RAM (hopeful)
Android 4.3, with an upgrade to Android 4.4
Resolution of 480x320 (probable) or 854x480 (hopeful)
The most important spec will be the processor, I want something compatible with Android 4.4. The above chips are brand new, they have support for Android 4.3 and above, I didn't see any Android 4.2 support on CodeAurora Forums.
If it comes with anything MediaTek, I will not buy due to lack of available source code. If it comes with the older Snapdragon S4 based on msm8x25 or msm8x25Q, I will not buy as it will only ever have Android 4.1, support for its Adreno 203 GPU was dropped from Android 4.2 due to missing hardware functionality.
The other specs I'm not too worried about, but obviously the higher the specs the better.
After all that it then comes down to the price difference between the Xperia E1 dual and the Xperia M dual. I assume the Xperia E1 will be cheaper, but if I happen to find a really good deal on a discounted Xperia M, I might be tempted by it, though I would prefer to work on the new msm8x1x chips...
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!

Is there a github reference for this rom? A new dev for the C3 (currently off for a while) would probably like this as well. Link if you're curious.
