Is possible bring Honeycomb in Xperia X10 ?
Is a OS for tablets, so I don't know.
i dont think so, you can bet on icecream it will have gingerbread and honeycomb.
We are still waiting for it
I guess it is possible
but it won't be nice
since official notice that Honeycomb (3.0) are optimized for tablet devices
not our mobile phone devices
I hear devs have ported an alpha release for Nexus S so who knows?

Hi
With all the Rumour about Icecream Sandwuch and about it Unifying the Tablet and mobile platforms, I was wondering if It would be just possible to get Icecream sandwich on the Hero
I see two problems though
1.. The Hero Hardware may just make it impossible
2... Most Hero Devs have moved on or some dont have their Heroes.
Still We can Dream on
would be a nice go though our hero's are dyin!
Froyo has been the most stable...i'd rather see more stable roms than lots of cool but only semi usable roms...
Hello All,
Sonyericsson Officially Confirmed Icream Sandvich Update for all sonyericsson xperia 2011 lineup including our xperia mini & mini pro.
Here is the official blog link:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...ich-for-sony-ericsson-2011-xperia™-portfolio/
cheers!!
I so didn't expect that! I picked this because I'd be able to change to a custom rom once Sony Ericsson left it behind.
I do want to try an overclock kernel soon though :S
Yes this is true. Se just tweeted this

I'll believe it when I see it in person!
A really great news!!! I want the update very much, SE please release it before 2012
That would be quite unlikely since they just released the 2.3.4 update.
Awesome. I gotta say that I wasn't really sure if the phones could support it, but I guess they can.
Love the way they've made the hardware pretty much the same across the Xperia line, so they can get updates out faster.
Do you think the hardware accelerated GUI in ICS will eliminate all stuttering on android phones -ours in particular?
I know it's not much on the Xperia line, especially the Mini, which I have, but if it can get rid of it all together, it'd be nice.
Good news I hope we'll have release dates soon.
wow! This what what we all waiting for. Hope it'll be released very soon!

which mini do you have? 2011 or the older one? i have the sk17i, and in my opinion, it is the smoothest experience i can get on a cheap phone like this. i wouldn't mind if sony is not porting the ics.

On a cheap phone like this? Its even smoother than any dual core phone ive ever tried, well, except for the S2. It never stutters or lags, even when im playing with my emulators
Mini has lag problem in the touchscreen.
I hope that they can solve it with 2.3.5. o ICS.

A Polish named mikegapinski is managed to port ICS to LG GT540 which has only 600 MHz processor.
I think xperia has much better hardware and could support ICS.

mmmm
It will come out in different period for any device.
Maybe Xperia ArC on Jenuary and Xperia Mini on March.
Guessing is pointless
I just hope they will fix the unlocked bootloader bug with updates. Looking forward on tasting that sandwich!

it doesnt matter when, January or March, the most important is fact that we will receive this update
cant wait for ICS & cm9
I heard that ICS allows you to connect keyboard, pad etc. via usb port in phone?
OTG or something like that. When ICS will be much more stable and bugless, will it be possible on our lovely x10?
I really dont think so,becasue its only for stock kernel,and without a custom kernel its very laggy,and lets face it,hardware on x10 its old,but maybe cyanogen,zdzihu,or another great dev can port it,to its full potential
you can find more info here:

Zdzihu is porting it but at moment I think devs are working on getting cm9 for us.

So it will be possible? CM9 is based on wchich android? 4.0?

4.0.1 yes.
HTC HD2 has same hardware specs from what i know and it handles 4.0.1 very well. Some even say it is faster than 2.1 and 2.3. Can't see why X10 wouldn't do it.
HD2 has 448 MB RAM.
Comparing android 2.3 to 4.0 is like
Windows XP to Windows 7
Maybe faster, but requires more RAM.
This is a bit more of a request than question, but is anybody going to try port the official 4.0 ROM for the Xperia Arc for our X10s? I know the update for the Arc isn't out yet (going to be around March and April-ish apparently), but I'm curious to see if anyone has plans on doing such a thing, as I personally like the look of Sony (Ericsson)'s UI (hopefully it's not just me) and I would really like that ROM on my X10

If there's people around then my bet is that once 4.0 is released, people won't necessarily port the rom over but I guarantee someone will port the theme, whether that's someone here or a cyanogenmod themer.
I guess we just have to wait

John Cooper, UK Product Manager for Sony Mobile, has been taking questions from customers on Facebook and, perhaps inadvertently, revealed that both the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S and Xperia mini pro will not receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.
We have been waiting for Sony to make an official statement on their Jelly Bean upgrade plans and this is the first concrete news we have on the matter. The Xperia arc S was the highest specced 2011 Sony Xperia handset, so if this handset isn’t getting it we can conclude that none of the other Xperia handsets from the 2011 range will get the update either. However, the 2012 Xperia range do look likely to get the update, although timing remains an unknown right now.
Its funny that many of the 2012 Xperia handsets have lower specs than the 2011 models. It sux! anw, we can hope for a developer to port JB for 2011 Xperia lineup. & Cynomod10 is coming with JB

They have made a mistake
Xperia 2011 handets should have had that minor upgrade to Jelly Bean, especially given the performance issues. Also, it means those handsets are stuck permanently on 2.6 Linux kernel, unless one goes the custom ROMs way. Thankfully, Cyanogenmod devs are supporting Xperia Mini Pro, so I am starting on a quest to root my SK17i.
Jelly Bean would be slow on our phones if official update was done. Sony will push own Timescape UI inside instead of Butter UI, so we don't get any performance improvements in UI.
It's a shame, but it was expected...
Yeah, i also expect 2012 xperias will probably get Jelly Bean update around this time next year (+/- couple months), just before Key Lime Pie comes out

I wonder....
does anyone remember Xperia x10i? the funniest was they came from Donut 1.6 to GingerBread 2.3. they've got 3 official FW update.. and me guess we still have a chance.. Our device is not low range since we have 512 ram inside. and some of Xperia 2012 family also have the same type.
I was expecting this. They won't update 2011 xperia phones to JB. But they will update 2012 xperias. If I buy another phone, it won't be a Sony. Maybe a Nexus 7 but not a Sony. I was very disappointed with the ICS update. Can't imagine a JB for our phones, maybe to slow...
Long live to Gingerbread! xD

I dont't think Timescape has anything to do with Butter
Anyway, I'm not surprised, but they could change their minds if community presses them enough. As I remember, HTC upgraded Desire to GB even though they said phone was underpowered (for sense bloatware).
I smell some "business politic" here from sony.

who cares about their update...cyanogenmod 10 alpha has rolled out..have to tell its much more faster than GB..wait for fue for days l get the beta version of bug free ...just waiting to get beta cm10.
The thing is that to be able to create stable custom roms you need support from the manufacturer. Without proper source code or hardware drivers/libraries that suit the new OS developers have to tack everything together which greatly increases the chances of bugs.
IMHO the least thing Sony could do is provide a proper hardware layer to developers to give them a solid base to work from. Nobody really needs the Sony customisations anyway so they could actually save a lot of development time there.
Personally I'd wish all android phones came with AOSP, like what Apple and Microsoft do. It saves the manufacturers a lot of development and opens the way for more frequent/longer OS updates.
All hope of custom rom
**** Sony, where's Ericsson when we need him?

Correct.
Nicely Explained Brother:good:
Here is example!
1.Bravia Engine wont work without proper supported lib files
2.Same will happen with xLoud
But we can force SONY to give us JB update
If majority of all the customers keep on telling them about the update for 2011 Family, after all customers are the only strength of any COMPANY
What say guys?
Yeah yeah yeah! As what I have expected from SONY!
Come on guys! This isnt the first time so stop relying on this b*llsh*t company. We have the developers here and they are even better than those "INCOMPETENT" developers from Sony.
So stop crying over spilled milk and just wait for JB port to our devices :good:

Well... There is
And i agree, Not only the developers here are better, they also keep updating us with Alpha, Nightly and Beta builds all the time, and they're also open for suggestions
I don't know why people keel slagging off Sony as a company?
Personally I buy an SE phone for the hardware (who else makes a tiny phone with a useable hardware keyboard?) while knowing you can optimise the thing to personal taste by modding the firmware and using apps.
As for updates the Mini Pro got 200% of what it's predecessor got (the X10 Mini Pro which only got Eclair).

very sad news for xperia 2011 series, but im now testing CyanogenMod10 Alpha rom in lww but its have lot of bugs hope it will fix soon
And I was right! 4.1 probably coming after all!
We are actively investigating Android OS upgrades for all devices, but in the meantime, our Ice Cream Sandwich rollout for Xperia S and 2011 Xperia smartphones continues as planned.
