Well, the Sony Tablet and Xperia S may get Jelly Bean this year, not too far to go but after emailing Sony Support about all root stuff like root (Obviously), Bootloader, custom recoverys, custom roms, how all the root stuff can benefit and much more, just hopefully Sony will make the tablet more rootable and finally get the bootloader unlocked.
I also explained about the development.

Sony need to get their head out of their poophole and start rolling out devices that are easly rooted with a bit less preloaded crap etc. etc. Software and the missing dev is what i hate about sonys tabs.

I did say 'MAY' in my other post, I had the feeling this day may come.
The Sony Tablet S is not getting Jelly Bean with the excuse "The hardware is not powerful enough" or something.
That is the worse excuse ever, lots of Armv7 devices has Jelly Bean but no, Sony will not do anything about it abandoning the device, no root and no unlocked bootloader. :/

The "hardware support" is a flimsy excuse, the MOTO XOOM also can run JB!
So, if they give us an excuse about that, we can't see the sincerity of Sony.
The acer b1 which costs 120 dollars and has a 1 ghz dual core processor runs jb, but the tablet s doesnt. Lol

Please, someone who knows tell us something related on how the 3.0.8 kernel would be worth uprgrading, more useful or helpful for ICS. If we have enough good reasons, we can start a petition @ www.change.org
Let us know. The only thing that I've heard of is that it'll improve deep sleep.

And some manufacturers, shaming none <here'slookingatyoumoto> didn't even give gb to similar spec devices <defy original>, at least Sony is dev friendly, the hardware is common stuff and we have sources of camera and radio, and unlocked bootloader.

Give me one good reason of why 2011 line is not worth upgrating. Don't forget that you hold in your hands a powerful computer which always can be better.
Yeah, I am very greatful too, I am just asking there why the 3 kernel is better than this or if we would have any benefits of upgrading. I am not asking whether they'll listen to us or not. XDA is a very big and powerful community. We (in some cases) represent the advanced users of their products. For me, if we have good reasons and Sony listens to us. I'll appreciate Sony very seriously.

Simple our phones are getting old now,Sony corporation is a business not a non profit organization mate.In xda dev's make stuff at their own free time & most are non profit too.
All comes to dollar bills mate,besides now 2011 series is getting replaced little by little with 2012 series.
ST-Ericsson advertised their NovaThor U8500 (that is running on Xperia 2012 line) with ICS and kernel 3.0.8
i think there is a big chance that the Xperia 2012 phones will get ICS with kernel 3.0.8
Xperia 2011 are old news, they got ICS 4.0.4 so i don`t think Sony will update them further
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRewmDBkR8U
Indeed, it's not a non profit, but since they have the 3.0.8 kernel ready for some devices, it won't be pain for sony to use it for the 2011 line, I mean they are pro developers there with sources, equipment, it'll be a piece of cake for them to port.
Also they officially replied that they won't be upgrading, I saw it on sony's official blog. Nobody here said anything about this kernel though, if it is worth upgrading. Only pesimistic comments that this is impossible to happen.

Still waiting reply to know the advantages of 3.0.8 kernel, since nobody knows here. Even though I think a changelog is available @ kernel.org.

Sorry to dissapoint you Shadow.... im from the arc thread, and according to FXP who is in charge of the cm development for the 2011 line up it will take aproximately 6 months to port the 3.0 kernel.... and besides Sony promised us 18 months of upgrades, Jelly bean was included in that, when (fake) rumors came that the facebook representative from sony uk said the 2011 line up wouldnt get jelly bean... they said it wasnt true, and now they say the wont update us? seems like they were toying with us, the only reason they actually gave us ics ( a really ****ty one with no much improvement from the gb sony rom) was because they were being presured by the 18 months of upgrades statement.
Yesterday a moderator from Sony team answered me at the official forum. About the Kernel 3.x
"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/ ."

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..

I have bought XMP in April 2012 with great hope. I have used SE K550i for 6 years without any trouble and that's why I chose XMP as my first smartphone. I have waited for the ICS update with great expectations that it will empower my XMP to the full potential. But Sony disheartened me, like most of the people out there with a 2011 xperia device.
Then I thought that they are going to make things better by providing us with a buttery-smooth JB release, since 2011 xperia devices are only 1 year old at the time of announcing the JB by Google. But today I learned that we will not be getting the JB update. This is a bad move from Sony. They may not realize this but consumers these days are smart and well-informed. I bet all the 2012 xperia users are happy now, but soon they will realize that their smartphones will be as cramped as the 2011 xperias with ICS update. Also, they will be rejected just like us after only a year (or even less) from now. Moreover, as I understand form their official announcement on this matter, even Xperia U won't get the JB update (they have excluded this name from their list).
However, I will wait for Kamarush for the JellyXProject he promised.

Guys, this is nothing new. The previous line of Xperias (X8, X10 mini + pro,...) were stuck on android 2.1 from sony. There was no official support from CyanogenMod, FXP moved to newer line of phones, yet the comunity keeps the development on and there are already CM10 ROMs. I had X8 and hated Sony for this. Now i have mini pro and I don't care about Sony, they gave us great hardware for great price. People there will keep it comming, just show some support to the devs, send them few bucks, at least for a beer, just to show appreciation.
Don' t worry guys we have XDA so we have no problem we will have jB and key lime pie sooner or later... cheers to DEVs! :good:

Or if you like me, Razr Maxx is not such a bad deal either
About Nexus Phone, i understand that there are peoples who likes pure Android experience. But it is truly for enthusiasts who are willing to add any feature by himself. For casual user though, if you already have satisfying experience with some maker's interface/functionality (Small Apps or Smart Action), the Nexus is lacking though.. But that's just my opinion..

Yeah agree, but I need a phone under 250 Euros. And by the way I'm an extreme fan of pure Android/ pure AOSP roms, but I love Sony phones and every stuff. I've got sony PlayStations, TV, media player, Radio, Hifi etc. . I would choose Galaxy nexus if it would be cheaper than 250 EUR. Any recommendations under 250.-EUR?
I've also been looking for a replacement for my Ray and I've found some interesting chinese devices ( not copies ) that look extremely good and with great prices...only bad thing is that their development section is almost inexistent...
Yo dawgs, thanks for everything, the help, good luck to all the awesome developers for Ray, glad 2 see the community growing, people helpin people, Sadly I can't take part of it anymore. bought a red Sola.

Sola was a good choice in my opinion, just don't do the same mistake that you did with the ray.
the only phone that is actually an upgrade its the xperia SX... same look, better perfomance, better screen, same size..

Sadly I can't keep it, it's a pain that I could never try Android 4.2, and lots of roms for Ray which I should give a try. I'm happy and I bought my Sola, waiting for amazon 2 ship it, but sadly realized that Sola has almost no development. Only rethemed roms by noobs, a miui port, and the FXP cm9 which is buggy as hell and lots of things not working. But I think Sola is great enough to use without custom roms. Sony promised JB so I ain't got no worries.
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 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.

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.

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 ?

tnx de message
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)

That would be awesome! Just a special version for low-end devices. But this also needs developing and time

If they had one sony would not roll it out. We are out of their update support. We receive only bug fixes.
