[Concept] TouchWiz ROM from Galaxy Ace II - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I reckon it'd be very feasible to port the ROM from the Samsung Galaxy Ace II. I believe a 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM is slated for release/has been released, and it runs on the NovaThor U8500 chipset (The same as the Xperia U and I believe the Xperia Sola). It might help in porting. AOSP Jelly Bean without TouchWiz would be great as well, but I am wondering if any real developers see any potential?
It's just an idea, but hopefully will come to fruition.

I was wondering the same...
A few Samsung devices like galaxy s advance, ace 2 etc., running on u8500 will be receiving jb update by Samsung ...
So when they receive the jb update, maybe fxp will be able to create cm10 roms for p, u, sola and go as well....

That's true.. Both same novathor...

All of XPERIA P,U,SOLA are running on NovaThor U8500, so it might help I think..

[XPERIA P] Custom Roms

as the ics update for our fone is out will we be having costum roms for our fone ....... also i would also like to do a bug report about theupdate .... the notification sound doesnt work ........ plzz give me a fix asap ......
Ehm. The update for our lovely Xperia P is not a custom one made by XDA-Developers but by Sony. And if I know Sony right they don't care about XDA-Developers.com So I don't think that they see your bug repport. And second. Our developers has a life like you and me. Some maybe has kids so they aren't sitting all day long on the computer What about YOU fixed the issue instead and released it

I have the same thinking about a lack of developers in Xperia P Forum since its very good terminal and we dont have a thing in rom options.
Hope it wont be of course, because of not sucess model.
I had a Galaxy Ace (lower spec phone), and since come up years ago it has a rom every day. Really desire xperia devs could give a try on this terminal!
Cheers!

I'd prefer a fully working CM and AOKP. And MIUI over a zillion similar custom roms. Samsung phones get a lot of custom roms because their stock FW is pathetic

same here bro had an ace ...... its got jellybean rom also now .... waiting badly for a rom for our device
I Think there is Some Few Dev. at Xperia P.
I have been checking the Xperia sola as a new phone. Sadly there is NO development for this device. Some pre rooted roms are nothing. I would love cm on this device. After that I could port miui myself, as I have done for the wfs. And still gingerbread, wtf?
Such a great phone and then this scene, bummer.

Seance Xperia P has ICS and is rooted without unlocking bootloader, not need for custom rom! Phone is fast enought with stock rom! If you need customization, use launchers!
hey work jelly bean for xperia p?

Guys, Bad News and Good News
Android 4.2 ain't Key Lime Pie, it's just an upgraded version of Jelly Bean, hence, still Jelly Bean, we won't get any official Rom, I mean come'on how much do you think a 1GHz Processor and 512 MB ram' Phone handle? Even ICS was a struggle.
Good News is, it's an Upgraded Version of Jelly Bean, so CM probably will Re-Base their Rom to 4.2, same thing applied to PA, AOKP.

Compare to GB, which peforms better ?
My ICS also Smooth, so... Every ICS rom's the same
I heard Sony wants to make op with everyone because jelly bean is so late. and therefor will bring official 4.2. Not sure but I heard it.

Have you used ICS on a Ray? It runs perfectly well on mine, the problem is not the processor or Ram but the amount of resource hogging bloatware **** that Sony fill phones with ... Get rid of all the crap and the phone handles ICS just fine, it's annoying to hear this old story about the Ray not being powerful enough to run JB etc, yet somehow the V is? Don't believe it just because Sony tell you it.

I wasn't on GB long enough to compare it..
So how come galaxy s i9000 gets jb running great aswell and ray not doing So great? They have the same hardware i think no?
Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
Stop asking.
The 2011 smartphones can perfectly handle JB because they handle ICS.
JB is lighter than ICS.
Sony is just lasy to make the drivers for JB
Perhaps Sony want to focus on its 2012 models. But I sastify ICS with some mods
i think the answer is no.. our ray will not get stock 4.1/4.2 ROM
sony will not support xperia 2011 anymore, from now sony will focus upgrade on xperia 2012
but overall sony did great on upgraded than other brand..
BTW, if you want to keep get android upgrade, next time when buy a phone, consider to buy "google nexus" phone ..

Android 4.3 for Sony mobile phones?

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/07/25/on-android-jelly-bean-4-3/
"Yesterday you probably saw Google announce the next version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.3) – we’re already getting stuck in and can confirm we’ll make 4.3 available for: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP and Xperia Z Ultra…
We’re also looking at uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3 – we’ll share more info / deets / timings when we can, so be sure to follow @sonymobileNews for all the latest."
I personally will be really surprised if Novathor-powered Xperias (P, U, Sola, Go) get updated.
let's hope, bu not this much!
That is a dream that will never happen lol
Xu doesn't have 4.1.2 or 4.2.2.... So if these phones have android 4.3, it will be with a custom rom
Sent from my Xperia U using xda premium
As the changelog says, there is not much visible difference between 4.2.2 and 4.3 and main focus was on improving multiuser support.
If I am not wrong its like upgrading from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7. So if we get a good 4.2.2 (CM10.1) I'll be more than satisfied

Yeah, the changes in 4.3 are mostly some under-the-hood stuff: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html?43

Either 4.2.2 or 4.3 for NovaThor would be really nice - I personally want lockscreen widgets and DashClock - but I don't know if ST-Ericsson built the sources for such an update...
No android 4.1.2 is the last update for novathor u8500 device cause NOVATHOR is dead and won't release any source for our device...their are totally drop us behind other processor manufacture just like Snapdragon did!

maybe we won't get official JB 4.3, but i've seen on github that DevSwift1 tries to port CM10.2 to Xperia U, so if he succeeds, he and Percy will probably develop CM10.2 for all: P, U, Sola and Go .
It's not as good as stock JB 4.3, but it's still very cool

Official update would be better, becuase then we would have more sources and development would be easier .
What's more, people who can't unlock their bl won't be able to flash it .

[Discussion] Android 4.4 KitKat for Novathor Devices

Hello everybody,
I just open this thread to discuss about Android 4.4 KitKat for our lovely Novathor Devices
So here's my opinion:
I still have hope that Sony will update our Novathor Devices. Google announced that KitKat is fitting on 512MB devices well so it's not impossible Some people here lost theri hope on official updates from Sony but not me!
So what's your opinion about it?

I'm not putting hope on it that Sony will release an official update for our device.
Google itself won't update their Galaxy Nexus (http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/31/5051958/google-galaxy-nexus-will-not-be-upgraded-android-4-4-kit-kat) and its even more capable of running kitkat for it has 1Gb of ram...http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus_i9250-4219.php
i will just wait for the wonderful works of the awesome developers here in xda
I would like an official update by Sony. It should cover things like floating touch and would bring my dead ICS XPeria Sola back to life. I'm not an optimist, let's hope I'm wrong.
don`t lost hope guys wait for dev. to release the latest ver. kitkat. its smother than sony update

Then you are most probably wrong. Stop hoping. Xperia U, Go, P and Sola will not get anymore updates:
-Novathor is dead, ST-Ericsson already closed its doors.
-Sony will rather focus it's resources on more expensive phones like Xperia S, T,Z and Z1 rather than low-mid range phones like Xperia U or Go.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Yes, dont hope to get the official update from Sony. You will be disappointed. Also our devs don't have necessary drivers for our hardware, so it is difficult to make a fully working 4.4 Rom. Hope our devs here will make our devices run on 4.4 with only few acceptable issues.

xperia p isnt that low range phone... Doesnt it have more possibilities to get kit kat?
dont think so that sony will update our devices ... but some great devs will surely bring the KitKat taste
Hope they will build a pure AOSP Rom ?

If Sony didn't even updated their last year's flagship models, why would they update midrange phones? Even Google themselves won't update the Galaxy Nexus, even though it's more than capable to run Kit Kat.
Hmm maybe Android 4.4 KitKat isn't all about lower requirement. Maybe its Android 5.0 that we waiting and they should name it Android 5.0 LEPO (LOW END PHONE ONLY)
