????Android M for XZL???? - Sony Xperia ZL

This might be too much to ask for, but is there any chance of getting Android M on XZL? 'Cause the "Now on Tap" seems like a pretty dope feature. Hopeless waiting is a pain.

You think?!? Yeah, keep dreaming! Jokes aside, it's exciting to hear the news about confirmed 5.1 upgrade, but I am definitely not expecting the M. But... Who knows, life's full of surprises...

Waiting for CM13..

Yeah, that's always an option. But many people (myself included) prefer stock ROMs. I always root it, debloat myself, and tweak to my heart's content with Xposed. CM is not everyone's cup of tea (same goes for stock, needless to say).

Calm down yer horses, first let's get Android 5.1 for our XZL.

I may have misunderstood the question in the first place... I had no doubt that the M in AOSP and CM flavours would be available at some point. I thought you were wondering about the actual Sony stock ROM...

whoa, i didn't think it was going to look cool but after seeing the video, i agree. i gotta have it! so simple but looks pretty cool.
why bother porting when most of us will be upgrading to 2.3 on our respective roms anyway?
We have nowhere to port it from..its not in the sdk.

Well, its still cool. lol.
on nym or any other rom or just by making it a .zip somehow would be aweomse

It's not in the framework?? Whatever it is, it's in the sytem image somewhere. Someone smarter thatn me should do it.
To the poster that said "Why, we'll have 2.3 roms soon" (paraphrasing):
I would like at least this small porrtion of gingerbread on my totally/completely stable/fast Myn rom now. i doubt that the first, even the 2nd or 3rd phase of community built releases will be perfect. But if given just this one feature, I'd be happy. It's not like you can take advantage of new Android features in 2.3 with the evo anyway: we don't have a gyroscope, we don't have a NFC radio.
That said, of course I'd love a full gingerbread release for the evo, but beggars can't be choosers.

Yes and no. It could be a proprietary Samsung thing. Then it wouldn't be in the SDK, but rather in the Nexus S image. Now, seeing as it's supposedly a Google Experience phone, there shouldn't be proprietary things on it... so that would lead me to believe it is in the framework somewhere.
Regardless of where it is, i want it too, lol

I might be wrong, but If the EVO officially gets Gingerbread or even if its ported over.... I the gyroscope is in the and part of the new OS itself and not hardware. Like I said, I could be totally wrong, But think about it, If the EVO Gets Gingerbread then we'd lose out on the new gyroscope feature?? Just doesn't seem right lol

Nope the gyroscope just like NFC is a hardware thing so there is no way for us evo users to get it without some insane hardware modding.

Google buys Moto

Good news everyone, Google buys Motorola! Let's hope we get more frequent OS updates now!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/15/google-acquiring-motorola-mobility/
This was so out of the blue.
Love they did it just to make everyone step up their game.
Sent from my Phone
Wow. This costs more than the nortel patents, but it actually gives google something concrete, not just ammunition against patent trolls. The big change this shows though is google stepping into the hardware side. The questions are:
1: will motorola phones become the new android standard? No more samsung or HTC nexus phones?
2: will google customer service improve? I haven't dealt with motorola before so I dunno how they handle customers.
Yada yada tapped
Blimey, lets hope they appreciate the Defy and not forget about it.
It would be great if they will support Defy with Gingerbread...

I wouldn't count on them supporting such an "old" device. I guess it would only be noticable on future devices. Does this move turn them automatically in GEDs?

I'm sure, they want to have only Android running on their phones, and opening up the bootloaders, also lets you install other operating systems :/
But, as i already said, i hope they still unlock the bootloaders.
google can do anything to make moto users happy!
so cant say what they will do

Yeah - I'm hoping it's that they strip Blur out. In the absence of that, at least replace the components with leaner services from The Goog.

SlimICS/SlimJB for Gio?

All,
I've recently discovered these 2 'Slim' ROMs, and was very excited to have done so...
My excitement soon turned to sorrow, however, upon learning that these slimmed down ROMs haven't been ported to Gio.
Now, KUDOS to the developer(s) that created them but wouldn't it have been a good idea to make it so that they can run on lower, less-powerful phones like the Gio? Currently, they only run on much more powerful phones, that have tons of RAM and power. These phones can handle full blown ROMs just fine, the Gio....not so much.
Just a thought.
Man! I wish I could get one of these for my Gio! I'm contemplating trying to install it on my Gio. It's not my everyday phone anyway. I only use it for data usage because I have an INSANE data plan on that phone. I have another phone that I use for calls, etc.
if its currently only for high end devices there's no way coming to gio.

if its for arm v7(galaxy s and higher, htc desire and higher nexus s and newer , etc theres no way bringing it to gio
I've ported the Slim series, once. But it was buggy for me and i decided to discontinue it (Didn't want to fix the bugs...)

Wouldn't have the slightest clue how to do it. Plus, my life is such that I barely have time to sleep as it is.
That being said, is there anyone knowledgeable person who could possibly make a thing ROM (ICS/JB) specifically for the Gio? Any Gio lovers developing still?

nono, i believe he means he wants a port of the slimics series rom, which is also on lg p500 forums, so technically, you are both right
and not barebones, he wants the rom i think but doesnt know it exist on lg500

Hi guys , I have talked with a owner of Nexus 6P | Nexus 5x | Pixel | LG V20 and Developer of roms for this phones , and he makes the WETA Rom for this devices.
The first talk I had with him I asked him if we could get him a Mi5s if he could do a Nexus/Pixel experience for our Mi5s and seeing that he has a Pixel and some Nexus I think he would be perfect to Build a nice Pixel Rom for our devices.
But to do this we would have to make a Funding so we could get him a Mi5s.
What do you think about this?

It would be cool. And it can be arranged.
But look, the developer buys the phone, makes the firmware on it, what differences will it have from AOSP? A camera from a pixel?
I think the main thing that people are interested in is the creation of a mod that replaces the standard image processing libraries with similar ones from a Google pixel.
WETA rom will also be interesting, is it the focus on the audio capabilities of the phone?

I think we could ask him if he could port the Pixel Camera and it's capabilities to the Rom seeing that the Pixel has the same Sensor.
But yeah basically the WETA Rom as I understood it is focused on the Audio Capabilities and in Stability.
But the only thing is that we would have to join forces so we could all just donate 1€ or something like that and get him a Mi5s.

I don't personally know him , I just reached out to him when I bought my Mi5s so I could get an ideia if any Dev with a Pixel would be interested in developing Roms to the Xiaomi Mi5s
And he answered me with a positive note back at that time , now I have reached out to him again to see if he is still interested in making a Rom to our Mi5s in case we could get him one and as soon as he answers me I will ask him about the camera. Because as all of us , I too want a Pixel perfect Rom for our Xiaomi Mi5s , it would be the Cherry on top of the cake.
I would also make a bit of donations for his phone
i used weta on my previous gs6 and i must say, stable and good rom. Dev was quick in answering in that days..
I have faith in him
Hi there , guys I'm sorry to have taken so much time to answer you, but this is because the Weta Dev stop answering me I don't know why.
I have talked with another Dev's from the Pixel Section and 3 Devs have answered me with a positive atitude saying that they wouldn't mind to try to Make a Pixel rom for our Mi5s.
Are you guys still interested in trying to get Money to buy them a Mi5s and seeing with they can do it?

I'm sorry for the delay but this is my first foray into rom development and while it might not be a big undertaking for most, this is a first for me. I'm going to attempt lineage first, as they have the most up to date documentation, this will not be 8.0 and even once it's out for us I probably won't go there for a long time as I do not yet have the skills to troubleshoot and provide a reliable rom on a brand new os (for us atleast) so thank you for the patience as I'm doing this with a 1.5 year old who loves to cause chaos, (lol), hope all is well and I will update as I can
I've just brought the phone, I'm in for a test.
Would definitely be interested in testing as well. Thanks a lot for the work you're doing. I think this phone has a lot of potential outside of what Sony has done for it.
