I was going to buy an Xperia S, but as i opened the development thread, i was shocked to see that there were only 3-4 custom Roms and only 2 were the ones which get constantly updated...?
SXS is sony flagship device, it should have got so many custom Roms till date, but it isn't really the case..
Can anyone explain why ?

Sale is almost a direct corrilation of amount of custom roms. Xperias aren't selling well.

i never got a fully working CM9/7 on my previous xperias including arc, neo and ray !
Even till date stable AOSP rom has not arrived for them, but atleast stock based rom's are there
And xperia NXT family has nothing yet !

After the launch of xperia S, for next 20-30 days, xperia S was on rank 1
Even in Xperia Arc S forums, many people voted for xperia S...
I dnt think that sales are less

I'm sorry if this has already been posted anywhere, or if it's too early, but I would like to discuss the Android 4.0.4 ICS update with the few Xperia U owners.
I read that it might be coming in late August, do you think they will provide the update this early?
Nothing much more to discuss really.
I just hope they will give us an update as early as possible, pretty sure we'll get it in early September.
And it needs to be stable.
Sony Mobile Italy had mentioned that ICS comes in the first week of Aug. God knows!
Sony delays updates like hell.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
I hope it comes before the 10th so I can enjoy ICS on holiday
this is what a friend of mine told me (he works by sony)
Xperia P will get it first: in the first week of august
xperia U will follow at the end of the first week/second week.
this is if everything is going right with testing!

Gingerbread doesn't lag on XU
Only when the browser hits heavy sites. Else, its just so smooth. And I'm happy with my device.
Hopefully, when ICS rolls out, more devs would move in :rollyeyes:

I think the locked bootloader isn't a big problem. My U is blocked too, but when we get ICS (I think) we can root it, and so we can install custom roms. We can't change kernel, but we can make CM roms what are working with stock kernel. I will do this too
Hopefully we'll get it this month, I might also get JB for my Arc S!

To you with locked bootloaders, if you're after root keep checking HERE. Many thanks

Like the title said. What do u think? Plus, Sony hasn't released ICS for this device as well. It's already late. I'm very disappointed that I bought Sony. I would be on official ICS or on JB custom Rom already if I bought Samsung. I'm always a fan of Sony, but now it lets me down to hell.

I think they will skip ics for u..like they did for 2011 Xperia with froyo and directly updated to GB..and the result was very stable 2.3.4 roms on 2011 line..so it's because they announced P and U later after S and they had time to develop it on S
Keep on waiting..im always a sony fan too and remember sony arc which was made at the same time of the sgs got the 4.0.4 officially when sgs had 2.3.6 and they stopped developing on

ICS should be there in 2 weeks for xperia P
Patience !
However I would say that you can be happy with gingerbread since it's twice faster than what your phone will be when it will get ICS.
That's what happened with xperia S. Very fast on GB and since ICS it's really slugish and when I had 500Mb of available RAM after boot, I know have 200Mb free !
ICS will be coming in more or less 2 weeks ( within august, thats what they officially said.)
I am quite sure that the FXP team will release a stable CM9 soon after ICS is released and if not, you will get JB for sure but it will take time..

Slow or fast, I always prefer the latest version. There are always new features. If everyone thinks like you, google doesn't need to release newer version at all. We never satisfy with what we have, that's how human always progress toward new invention and innovation..

Yeah thats your opinion, we shall see
My opinion is that this is pointless.. I mean Sony is listening to their customers but I don't think they will update their old devices considering how many devices they released this year. They will only update their dual core phones and maybe not all of them. They might as well update some of the new single core ones (like the Xperia J). Our phones are very capable of the Jelly Bean update but everything is just a marketing trick! They want us to buy their new phones.. and I'm not talking only about Sony. All manufacturers do that.

Actually it's not so bad We have 2011 xperia phones... Now it's 2012, near 2013 In 2013 i'm planing to buy Xperia V or if it happens Xperia Nexus
That's a shame, FXP is just focusing on 2012 devices, but 2012 devices still get official updates from sony, sony even ported aosp to xperia S so why worring about them?.
We need a developer like nAa, who managed to port a fully working cm7 and cm9 to the x10mini/pro and x8, he is now working on cm10 (minicm10), which runs jb almost as smooth as gingerbread in first generation devices!
We need you nAa!!
One by one the real devs left us. But we still have some Indian modders here. I'm sure they will be the new devs. Wait for that time.

Sola has better display than xgo ( 480x854 sola, 320x480 for xgo), apart this they are the same. Buy a Galaxy Nexus or a Galaxy S II if you want something better

In my opinion, Sola is great phone (I'm Sola owner, for now), but the problem is the RAM , only 512mb ~ 100 to use !!
I'm willing to exchange it with P ,as it has 1GB Ram, Larger screen, second camera, 8mp camera, JB SW is on the way,,
So yes, go for Xperia P
I would choose the Xperia Z, it is a great phone, probably the best phone available right now.
Then, if he do not want a Sony phone do no ask in a Sony forum, look for the galaxy forums.
you may always want to look for phones made of qualcomm chipsets rather than novathor, mediatek etc. we are struggling to have the latest OS coz there are no sources for novathor.
