Just introducing myself as a new xperia U owner. Dropped verizon because of contract issues. (Was on the Razr and Spectrum, still own them)
Yes, I am a dev (Developer of Bionx Rom) bionx.webs.com
So, if theres a rom request, il hit it or if anyone needing a partner.
Anyways, hope to help shed some light on this lil guy.

paranoid would be awful on this device o.o (no offense to the awesome rom) resolution would be difficult to optimise.
i dont have the bandwidth to repo anymore so any rom compiled, i would have todo manually or port.
cm9 stability would be a first priority. cm10 or aosp would be nice. with aosp, a stock like home brew update could be accomplished.
im just enjoyen the little bugger for now.

Welcome.
I just bought this phone for current girlfriend. Shes not really tech savvy. Its her first smartphone. She really loves it. As I thought she would.
I chose it because of the design mainly. The cute bottom caps you can change to different colours. I put the pink one on for her. Also the transparent light is really cool. And the phone is a nice compact size at 3.5 inch. Good phone for a lady.
And good specs also. Dual CPU. 512 ram. Very nice display. Very nice present. gonna get a lot more loving for this one.

Well, i am currently indulged in a LG Spectrum rom and I need to finish a Droid Razr sequel but looks like i have another project ahead of me. I do like this phone tho. for the specs it has as a mid-ranged device. its makes a nice device but so small compared to my razr

Agree about the hardware. I can live with some bloat thou.. I don't mind touchwiz either... It's mostly theming etc, but cm9 isn't that far of either..

Maybe one of the ROMs is ICS themed.. haven't checked myself, been enjoying stock rooted. But I too loved the new look if ICS and that nice blue, and icecream like contacts

We havent even got a stable CM9 build and you expect we would get a properly working Jelly Bean build? Ya,right......
And,as far as i know,the sources wont be released until mid-july(thats what i heard from others) So,even if there is any chance of getting an unofficial build,it will be quite some time before we get it anyway.

Hi guys with your great device Sony Xperia Series
please I want to know something about Xperia S
I will buy new device soon(I'm currently using huawei X6)but I have 3 Choice which made me confuse
1.Xperia S
2.Galaxy Nexus
3.Sensation XE
I know most powerful device is Xperia S than 2 other device I mention,,
but I looked into development thread and I just found some Custom ROM for Xperia S,not much
Please I want to know why Great Android Xperia S just have some Custom ROM,not much(most of I look is AOKP and Paranoid Android)
Tell me guys if you know
comparison this device with Arc S performance is so far away,but Arc S have Custom ROM more than Xperia S
Thanks much
We'll have AOKP soon(ish), not sure about Paranoid as most developers seem to hate it.
If I may know,,why AOKP Build so late?is still have problem with source or something?
Sent from my Spice Mi-410 using Tapatalk 2
because sony released the source for a short time ago (for ics)
developers are working hard on it, so i think a few weeks and development is going much faster!
Galaxy Nexus is what I recommend if you are interested in custom ROMS. Im very tempted to give up on Sony I almost give up on Sony Ericsson when they had poor upgrading with the Xperia Play but the community brought my back to the tables. But then i upgraded to the Xperia S and Xperia U but it just feels like ive downgraded because i love custom ROMS
If you love default android then get a Nexus. You are giving up speed, screen, and build quality but you gain the dev community that you crave. I personally had bought a Nexus but I returned it for my Xperia S. I am satisfied because there are enough roms to make me happy. You really don't need 10 roms that are essentially the same. Once we get a good release of cm9 and cm10 we should see more support. Also I love the default Sony apps.

Mostly because I'm a lazy ****. Team FreeXperia are working on CM9 and there is no reason to duplicate their work. Since they don't have the source publicly available, all I can do is wait.
thanks all to replying my question
I think so,,galaxy nexus have a lot custom ROM and mod
disadvantages nexus is very annoying me when Xperia S have all specs and features I need
but,,turn back,,Nexus is original Google build,thats make me consider twice
well,,now I can make wisely device choice for me
thanks for a lot all

Soon Xperia S will get more ROMS because it is selling very good
And...how much ROMS need a human?
For me they are 4: STOCK MODIFIED ROM(KASPEED),CM10,Miui,AOKP
If you will buy a nexus what rom you will use?its the same we just need 4 roms....(3 in situation of nexus )

Yes mate,,in case,I will try out xperia S,,specs and features so promising than nexus
Honestly,,I interest nexus from screen design without softkey button. But comparing performance and other features with Xperia S made me reconsider,,

It's not Xperia devs, it's devs in general. Paranoid does stuff that it isn't supposed to do to the framework, so it is a very, very dirty hack, and most devs don't like dirty hacks.

Friends I wanna buy Amaze 4g. I wanna know about amaze before buying. You have used this phone you know better. Right now I own Xperia sola. I wanna know if it is upgradable to ICS officially? I know JB is not available for it. Any recommendations in this range? thanks
It seems there is not much dev for this phone.
Don't get me wrong I liked my Amaze but this phones life span has come to an end. I'm now using the Galaxy Note 2 and I love it.
But officially there is ICS unofficially there is also JB.
You will need extra batteries or charger and a nice sturdy case.
Good Luck.

The Amaze is a good phone. While there is not much development, there are some good mature ROMs based on ICS (like NRG). One advantage it has is that the accessories are cheap - you can get extra batteries & etc. for very reasonable prices).
The camera on the Amaze is very good, if that is important to you.

The phone is stretching to work with newer operating versions. HTC designed it for ICS Imo, and that is where it works best. I personally have no particular desire to try anything else.
Of course, I came to the Amaze from the HD2, so I was a bit spoiled in terms of developer support.

My mum uses hers for exactly the same. I've tried all sorts of firmware and unlocked her bootloader while trying. The best rom for the U in my (and her opinion) is GB-Rocks. Definitely recommend putting that on if you get one. All the ics roms are just rubbished, and the JB roms are still full of bugs
