Hi everyone!
It's know that our Xperia Sola is a ST-Ericcson device (with Novathor u8500 SoC chipset) and right now, i'm pretty sure that Sony will provide Jelly Bean for our device next year. But, we also know that there out is a device with our same chipset and Jelly Bean at launch. Yes, i'm talking about Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini. I have been talking with some users on their forum and i think some information can help us to port jelly bean to our Xperia Sola.
So, here are some files which can help us to make a working Jelly Bean Rom on our device:
1. I want to thanks nixonik member to provide a full system dump of SGSIIIMini in here System dump.
2. Jelly Bean open source code for this rom, provided by Samsung. in HERE
Today i have access to this files but tomorrow i'm going to travel outside and going to leave my pc here in home, so i can't make progress on this until january, but i'm calling to devs in here to check this files, specially open source ones (libs mostly) and see if we can port cm10 using those or if this can be ported as well.
Now that would be really great if some devs step up to initiate this...But I have one question, the s3 mini uses U84xx soc whereas we have U85xx soc...Won't that be problem?? Devs??

No, it won't. You see, in open source that I have attached here there is source code for u8xxx chipset that's mean that they are working in all novathor SoC already released by St-Ericsson

That's awesome...Maybe FXP can use those sources to develop CM10...
@OP this is a brilliant initiative. Can you contact these two members urgently?
1. FXP
2 munjeni
FXP can help with this, and if this works out, they can work on CM10 instead of CM9.1 anymore (which is pretty much stable now).
Also, munjeni just got AOSP Jelly Bean booting on his Xperia GO. He can definitely make magic for this initiative.
Maybe I should give it a try.
good news!!:good:
get all devs attention. get them under one project
This will be great if someone port this to our phones. I think FXP and munjeni must give it a try, but it will be great if they do it together.

:thumbup: to espaciosalter20 for his support for our device....... Please DEV's if anybody could contribute JB for Sola It would be great................
Don't forget we will get it officially... By the way a touchwiz or aosp port should be niceee.

This not really worries me, instead is okay because xperia p and go will receive jelly bean officially and we have to remember that p and go are "riogrande" devices like sola and u. When they release JB open source to xperia p and go, we can easily adapt the official rom to our sola (and u)

Awesome initiative. :victory:

Now is time to show to stupid shiny Sony that in here (xda) we know how to care a really good device. All devs, use this files to blow JB on the face of Sony!!!

Floating touch in ics was great as glove mode but I don't think it would be much of use.....
So its would be OK if we don't get floating touch in JB (my opinion )......

I see AOSP beyond crap features like floating touch, xloud, or bravia engine
If I am not wrong JB for this device is a distant dream until our beloved developers like FXP, Munjeni, kerian & championswimmer see a possible port feasibility as suggested in OP
Until wait for Sony's release of JB for similar hardware device
Thanks to all who are owning this device and keeping hope alive.
Nice initiative

i need a tester for NEO... NOT NEO v
thatll come later!!!
I could help if you explain what it is I will be testing.
a kernel
you'll be testing a kernel....
so if you havent done it before.. i dont recommend it...
I just saw your kernel was for stock ics and I really can't be arsed to flash stock just for a test.
But good luck on finding a willing soul
For rom ics right?
Doesn't the Neo and the Neo V share similar sources? They are pratically the same phone with a different camera.:silly:
No... They have different sources... Even FXP release ROMS for both devices

Awesome, Will try...
I know it is far away from daily use but still just want to give it a go.
Knew this, while i tried munjeni's rom in his thread, too.
But don't forget - its AOSP-rom.
Maybe we need someone who make a rom from Samsung Advance jb to get fully functions?
Give me a try even it will bricking my phone

haha... okiii..
atleast some hope for Sola to get JB :highfive:
even now is only booted, will wait until it's working, it's worth to wait
and many thanks for all dev who porting JB to Sola,
and nice info too dude :good:
It's for the Go, right? Could this mean that when official JB for Go comes, with a little effort, it could be remade for Sola? Also, is there a possibility that Glove Mode can be ported to JB for sola?

there are not, and will not be any screenshots until they get the internal storage up and running, STOP ASKING
This is amazing news. You guys should share your success with the FXP team. Make them port CM10.1 directly instead of CM10 like you guys are doing.

If you would hv read the post carefully the you would hv known..
Thats its only brains kernel for Sola which he made cause I requested him too, he wasn't planing to make until the project reached somewhere for XU...
And XGo JB rom by munjeni not the test builds v1 & v2 by brainskafka for XU...
And with a lil buildup prop & script changes got it to boot on our Sola..
I dont think anyone has taken even that much of trouble to test it on Sola...
So I would appreciate a lil bit of credit too..
Cheers!! :beer:
Haters stay away!!! :beer:

Well its difficult dude.... i did get that thought and downloaded the sources... But I couldn't understand anything... So don't think much about developing yourself... Let the devs do it... Developing from the source to any device takes lot of time... So have some patience...:laugh:

I just wanted to ask if there's anybody who's working on a port of cm10.2 or another custom rom with 4.3 for xperia P and if there's any chance to get 4.3, because novathor ended the support?
i think percy_g2 is working on cm 10.2 but i'm not sure at all
Thx but does anybody know more?
So far nothing
As fas as I know percy_g2 is only developer working on CM projects for our device xperia p
He is one of good developer and hope he will give bugfree 4.3 to our device soon
yes. percy_g2 and munjeni currently working on cm10.2 for now at least.
