I recently saw a video of Sailfish OS and boy, It's awesome.
The devs even claim that android apps can easily run on sailfish.
Also, the say that ST-Ericsson devices are supported, does that mean we will be able to run it on our phones?
The sdk is already out
It sure looks awesome... And especially its swipe and gesture based ui...

UI looks so smooth...Hope they release a rom like that for us soon...
Our devices will be able to run the entire OS imo.
We just have to wait for someone to compile it for us.

Me too but someone should port it to neo ... We haven't got fully working Firefox os , Ubuntu os yet... Now sailfish on the way exited but need developers support
Well, we still not have stable stuff on android os itself.. take whichever rom you want, all have something or the other not working or buggy stuff.. All pro devs are busy in other projects.. We need someone to give us a different taste..

I wouldn't be so happy. Sailfish now runs on much more powerful Jolla phone so it's smooth. Not sure it will be on Neo. On the other hand N9 is almost like Neo and MeeGo works flawlessly so we can be optimistic.
good
i cant wait , i hope any developer can provide this in Neo Development
Better rename the post to Sailfish OS,Your Views rather than thoughts
waiting until Sailfish OS available for My Neo

Hi everybody,
At the 3rd of September, Sony releases the binaries for xperia s to support JBQ's Xperia S experiment.
So I was really happy about that, coz I thought that jelly bean is near.
I thought that now, that when they have the binaries and drivers, the only thing to do for Google is to implement these drivers into android source code, because vanilla Android doesn't need so much configuration, etc.
So my question how long you think it takes that we have vanilla on our xperia s?

I hope very soon, i think FXP has done a good work yet on porting the cyanogen 10 to our device, so maybe they can start from this point to develop it... but i don't have seen a lot of rom and kernel for our phone like others Xperia serie's phones... maybe it's due only to the youthness of NXT line..

I don't know when the official release will be, but CM 10 will release its new M1 versions. In the moment we have a stable alpha-version and that's a big step too. But my opinion is that Sony is just inconfident about the official JB -.-

It is the 18th of September now- where are the sources?
Can we download them?
It is just an experiment to see how hard is to implement another device on the AOSP project. Not that updates will come from Google.

I hope is not just an experiment because have JB in ours Xperia S will be very performant, in my opinion. Sony is usually close to developers.
It may be also a test: rumors talks about a Sony nexus.. it will be a big step..:victory:
Actually, AOSP development seems very slow, at least from what I've been seeing on the git. Don't expect the sony bins to speed that project up
That's what I'm scared about because when android 5.0 comes soon how long would that take to reach the xperia s (nexus) becomes the update..

Well. This is a step in the right direction
But. Can Ubuntu Phone OS run on Xperia P? And if so, will we see a port of it on P?
I would be happy if so
In 2 years maybe MAYBE. The number of developers on this platform is very low almost none. We cant get jb running, so what do you expect? Time will tell

Canonical released Ubuntu sources for NEXUS phones last day.
And the portal says "Porting Ubuntu Touch is as Simple as Building CM". I think Ubuntu Touch can be built based on CM10 for XPERIA devices.
Reference : http://www.xda-developers.com/android/porting-ubuntu-touch-is-as-simple-as-building-cm/
There would be a lot of support if any of the Developer would kick-start this project.
We NXT guys were discussing over it yesterday....
1.We need a cm 10.1 to use as base, which we have but its still a bit unstable.
2. We need a 3.4 Kernel to get the best user experience and performance or else it will be more like miui jb! (lags a lot!!)
3. The version released right now is just a dev preview, hence many features aren't working on it yet!
In the end we all decided that we will port a better version! Which won't be long as the ubuntu devs will give updates fast cause they wanna make it the best os for every platform as they said at CES!
Thus, we will wait

Yup, its just Dev Preview, lot of things aren't working as I seen in most of the Videos out there. Ubuntu is collaborating with XDA Devs to make it work on different phones.
It just needs CM10 as base (I mistakenly wrote CM9 too which now corrected). Lot of devices are on the way for the build including SONY XPERIA T (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices).
Hope to see Ubuntu Touch Build from you.

Last time I checked we need cm10.1 !
Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that it was 10.1 and not 10 !
However we still need a 3.+ kernel for best performance!

The new version of Android has been announced & it says that it will be supported to run on low RAM (512MB), single core devices as well!
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/504575/20130909/android-4-kitkat-os-top-devices-features.htm
Post your thoughts about this.
I've heard a lot about its so called optimisation for lower end devices and I'm really praying that it is true!
Whilst the dev community here have done an excellent job in keeping the 2011 Xperia line fresh, it would be just awesome if it doesn't feel like our devices are being stretched to their maximum potential to run as is with JB.
Another 'hope' I have is that with the better support for low end...our batteries might just stop being blown away like a butterfly in a hurricane.
(Ok they say hope oft deceives, but one can only be optimistic)
I guess the new kernel will greatly improve the battery life & it says that there is optimization for running sensors with a very low battery consumption. :fingers-crossed:
@ak070
did you checked this video:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...drm-partition-backup-script-xda-developer-tv/
that guy told that Sony Ericsson devices probarly get no 4.4 only Sony Devices !
but we shall see
Lol! He didn't say that 2011 Xperias won't get 4.4. He said that 2011 Xperias won't be able to backup their DRM partition using that tool.
Here it is!
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easily-backup-the-ta-partition-on-your-sony-xperia-device/
We'll see what happens...
Even without 'official' support, I'd be optimistic about getting 4.4 on our Xperias, we do have a really good dev. community here.
We've got 4.3 roms here that are being worked on (CM 10.2 - ok its not ready for daily use but its being worked on) so hopefully when 4.4 comes we'll get the same!
we can use custom 4.4 roms but we are losing the advantages of ROM by sticking to same hardware since 2011...
it's good to have latest OS on older devices but we won't enjoy maximum of it ... in future we need up-gradable mobiles like assembled pc's ( really man )
It says its optimized to run on devices with old hardware (especially) so I guess if we happen to come up with a 4.4 ROM, it will be smoother than JB but obviously it will need latest kernel sources.
I really wish that custom configuration device concept comes true...
If this News is true den we Can Have Kitkat as smooth as GB..
Then it ll be great

This is great news 4.4 on our old devices.. 2011 Xperia line up is still alive..
Questions
Will it be available for HTC Wildfire S [512 RAM][600MHz Single Core] ?
Man, it will be available for everyone, sources are posted at google source, it depends on manufacturer or developer if it will be out for your device as an image or flashable zip. If it is a low activity device then it is clear that update will not be released for your device.
We should learn things and try contributing instead of "hoping" we have plenty of guides to help us build ourselves or atlest help the developing Devs.. If we keep the hoping game on then I dont see that day too far when a rom will be updated once in a month or may be 6 months in neo forum.. Search, Learn, help and most important stop being noob..

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?

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.

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.
