Sony Xperia S will get vanilla Android as a Google experiment - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

couldn't find any thread related so far.... believe me I checked a lot.(Mods, you can remove it if the info is duplicate)

excerpt: This past week there was a little-noticed by very interesting development in the Android Open Source Project. Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru, who has long been the main source of AOSP developments from the company, kicked off "An experiment" with the Sony Xperia S. Google is looking to work with the community to directly support the Xperia S within the AOSP in a manner that's similar to how Google works with Nexus-class devices. Although the project is in very early days, if it's successful we could see more and expanded support for non-Nexus devices come directly from Google and the rest of the Android Open Source participants.
====================================================
The fact that the device gets a Nexus status makes it something great. I would really like to try this rom when it becomes available. In the git, you can find contributions from freexperia also. waiting for a bleeding edge Jellybeans.

I don't think it gets true Nexus status, in that the updates get sent and developed by Google. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

This is a great initiative by Google!

I just went to check whether an update is released (I was bored) and It said "an update is available for your phone, but the servers are busy." What do you guys think this means? There's a thread on this for the skyrocket too...

threads like this are useless. For two reasons. A) we already have fully functional ics releases. With less bloat than the official ics will have. And b) use Google search. U can check the status of ics for our device yourself. And grab news about possible release dates.

This thread is useful for two reasons.
1. Samsung hasn't officially released a date yet and there really hasn't been a word on a Google search as to whether or not ICS has been released for the AT&T Galaxy S2.
2. Not everyone prefers the modified versions of the ROM, and though there is bloat on the AT&T versions, not everyone's incredibly satisfied with the custom ROM's (I am personally, but yeah, not everyone's down for the custom ROM's).
3. If the official ICS did come out, it can provide something or another to make the current custom ROM's better, such as the ability to get Google Wallet (or ISIS) working, for example.
I appreciate that this is a forum for developers, but that still doesn't allow us to flame every new thread that comes on here that's not created by one of the elite or something or another >.>

Dude. When ICS hits it hits. And if u can't find anything on Google about ics release dates or possible release dates u aren't searching right. Either way when it does drop u go right ahead and flash that buggy bloated OS. I'll stick with my AOKP.
Edit: I sound like a douche in this post. So no more arguing. Hope we get official ics too sometime soon. But odds are I won't flash it anyway ;-p

Oh you're right about this being a developers forum but you're completely wrong about the assumptions that only "elite" members can post. You're about as wrong as humanly possible. We only yell at people for threads like these because it does NOT help any developer in any way and this question gets asked over and over again all in separate threads which bog down the forums an leave less room for the more legitimate questions/ posts. And once you've been on here a while you usually know when you should post a thread or when you shouldn't. I've created a total of 2 threads and only one of them was a thread asking a question (the other was for a pair of cm7 themes) and I made sure it hadn't been asked before. Understand a little better?

I am with you on how this i777 should behave and tone down but you list 3 reasons that I think useless, or should I say "non-productive", here's why
1. If you google/search and find nothing, you MUST think, I mean automatically think, that it is either NOT NOW or NEVER happen. Just like when you search a word and it isn't in the dictionary, you should automatically know that the word is not exist or not being defined yet.
2. custom ROM is for who love to flash, if ones don't want to flash, why would they come here in first place? Moreover, if AT&T decide to release their OFFICIAL ICS for this i777, the owners would get the update automatically, right? Then why stop here anyway
3. If the official ICS did come out? if so, then search/google in step one already yield some results.

Not everyone roots/roms. I'm waiting on the official update. From past experiences there are people within the industry on this sitewho have information that isn't yet released to the public.

Jelly Bean source code is out!

Seems this news hasn't made it to the Rezound forum yet, so I'm taking the initiative.
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
What I'm wondering is, when RIL is finally released for the Rezound, will it be forwards and backwards compatible? Will GB, ICS, and JB all match up and work? Or is it specific to each?
Edit: I see someone started a discussion in the General forum while I was typing this. My apologies.
This belongs in general, not development
I'd bet that the ICS RIL would work with few or no modifications in JB, but then again I don't know a thing about Android development.
Sooooo yeah. JB is pretty sweet. Before I lost my Nexus, I had JB on it, and it was AWESOMELY smooth. Even pure stock was awesomely smooth

Getting sick of these posts saying this is why people leave XDA. If you all want to leave then leave. We don't need to see this post over and over and over again!
How is your post any better then people posting what should be in the development section.
You obviously are not in a hurry to leave because you are still posting here so stop with that BS already!
And if you do decide to leave, XDA will still run just fine without you. I would much rather see jayochs stick around.

Sony Xperia S added to AOSP

Good news
The Sony Xperia S is being added to AOSP as the first experimental device:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/sony-xperia-s-added-to-aosp-as-experimental-device/
Check out the dev discussion forum (if you're interested in contributing or just learning how to build a complete ROM from sources (like I am)):
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-building/zji_sQGN9Oo/discussion
This should really amp up development for our device. :good:

Indeed. But if it comes to fruition, the idea is that.
The experiment is just to see how difficult it would be to add an unsupported device to AOSP without having to make changes to core components of AOSP. I don't think Google will ever maintain updates for this phone, being in the NXT series from Sony, it comes with their own UI.

Thanks for being unhelpful and not pointing me at that reading you mention. I have been reading what I can find for the last 2 months and thought i would just ask if there was a developer working on it so I could then go do more reading based on that information. I don't normally post questions to things I can easily find. Also this IS the Q+A section... Also Also I asked about CM 10.1 not CM 10 which is what I am currently running.
2 months of reading, and you haven't found any info about CM 10.1? That is odd considering that this subject has been discussed many many times in many threads. CM10.1 is not going to happen anytime soon.
I assure you, this has been asked and answered many times

Way to be a db about it. The QA section is full of questions that have been asked multiple times. I wasn't asking when CM10.1 was going to happen, just if a developer has taken it up yet. And show me this magical post that has my answer? I did multiple searches. I have been on the internet since you could only get it on a BBS and have been a systems admin for 10 years.

I'll answer it,
Yes...
Devs are working on it, over at Cyanogenmod.
But no, we dont have it for the galaxy note 1, as we lack the source code to make a bootable build, mainly due to the lack of kernel source.
And until samsung is kind enough to give the code, then no 10.1 roms will exist for us.
I hope this helps, and yes, we all want to see 10.1, but the odds are not in our favor....g

We don't have kernel source for JB 4.1, yet we have CM10. So what makes CM10.1 different?
I've seen a few phones that have CM10.1 that do not have JB 4.2 kernel source - ATT Samsung GS2 and HTC Inspire for starters. When I had an Inspire we had CM9 without ICS kernel source.

This has been addressed over and over...... To answer Yes there are a couple of people who are toying with porting CM10+ to the Note....... But that said, they have priorities in life and my guess this is down the list

MIUI Licensing doubt

Hi everybody!! I have a question regarding MIUI lincensing. Is it open source or closed souce?? Because you can find the source code available to download at github, but in other sites it's said it is closed source. Maybe it is mixed source. What do you think?? I want to promote the freedom of Android, but I also love (really, I'm in love) MIUI.

MIUI is closed sourced and in violation of the GPL laws. They have open sourced some apps partly but never fully. They are known for taking the work of others and not giving back to the dev community. Add in some real security issues.

Right. And not even the full source. That is why they are not respected around here. They took most of their coding from CM and then made it closed sourced.

Mmm I don't like that. It's a shame since MIUI is by far my favourite rom out there. Do you think there's anything like it but open source. And please, don't tell me about OpenMIUI, it's ugly as hell.

Depends on what you mean by "anything like it" There are people working on taking MIUI and reverse enginering it and then gonna release the source but that is still some time away. MIUI doesnt do anything that most CM based roms dont do.
It violates gpl its a closed source.
It's one of the reasons why xda doesn't officialy support miui
