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:
XDA-Developers video mostly musing on why they have chosen to add experimental devices:

Ohh man,
I literally searched General and Android development for "AOSP" and came up with nothing
Maybe cause it's an old post. I'm sorry for failing at search
This is so 1 week ago...

The Xperia S will get updates directly from Google, just like the Nexus phones.

Not exactly that. For now, it's only a project.

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.

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

No, they do, because its all over every development section on xda that threads like this DO NOT BELONG IN HERE. Period. Complain all you want, its a rule of the forums. People will learn from their mistakes...as simple as that.

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.

with source code out at least ill prolly be able to enjoy it on my sensation
Rils are working. We are waiting for kernel source so we can have a stable.Rom. they tried several other Kernels but none worked and crashed.
Dmeadows is working with what he has. And blame verizion for not letting HTC release the ota....

msg from JBQ ... https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-building/zji_sQGN9Oo[1-25]
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!

You probably don't know that adridu59 worked (not alone) on 3.x kernel, so he knows what he's saying.
And we we have msm8 not msm7... look at their specs carefuly and compare.
But... You can start to learn C programming and do it for whole xda community.

I was asking for Sony to release at least a 3.x Kernel for us. To say the truth begging. I got an answer of them in their official forum. I asked again after this answer that Sony would give us the 3.x kernel, because all the FXP, AOKP, PAR, PAC, and etc. community would be happy.
I don't have hope, but at least this time they answered.
Here is their answer:
"Platform decisions made out of a complex number of parameters, involving things such as performance, price, component availability, timing etc.
When it comes to the kernel, we did actually investigate to release the 2011 products on a new kernel, but we found out it would have delayed the much desired SW releases since it takes time to trim a kernel to a stable state. We have also done a lot of patches to the kernel that we would need to migrate and that would have delayed the SW upgrades even more. It was simply a prioritization decision. For the new 2012 products we use a new kernel.
For more information and further questions regarding these things, please head over to our developer pages at http://developer.sonymobile.com/ ."
Here is the link: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/332764#332764
They just are not willing to say a simple Yes or No!
Sometimes being blunt is better,I guess!
But anyways, Sony doesn't want to spoil the business by giving The news out so early!
They would be wanting to release 2013 phones and then say this!
They haven't confirmed about Jb which again is very doubtful and I'm not hoping for that!
So now, considering kernel development takes more time, so
We are most likely to hear a No in near future in an indirect manner!

I'm really interested in learning cooking kernels and ROMs. It would be great having a sequential learning process like this, as right now we hunt online for everything, and thus we may have gaps in our knowledge that we don't know about.
A community is also a brilliant idea as then we can learn along side others, and also, we can trim down repeat questions.
Overall +1 . Great idea
Yeah i tried kichen and kernel in ubuntu ... the problem is they just don't work!!
If you know a new method it would be great to hear!

Android L isn't commercially released yet. When it comes expect AOSP makers (CM, Omni...) to update their base and maybe it will run fine on i9300. This is just logic thinking. You could use some.
