hi
i was wondering if kitkat would be available for xperia sola cause xperia u is going to recieve it
if not then how long will it take for custom roms to get on kit kat ?
Actually there is no official news that Xperia U will get kitkat, which is highly unlikely in my opinion..
Sola did not get jb. I have no hope for kitkat

KitKat for Sola
Some put KitKat on their Sola, so far it looks good. Not much info though...
Look for this video on youtube (sorry can't post links yet):
watch?v=Y5XIXWh6vPU
A stock KitKat? Maybe, if someday Sony is concerned about the 2012 Xperia users, can you imagine? Yeah, me neither.
As it said, there's no official JB for Sola, KitKat, well I really can't see a possibility if it has the update.
I've seen somewhere that only the Z model will have the 4.4 update.
Gotta buy a Z phone or install CM11 which it's not stable at all.

Does google upgrade it's 2012 models to KitKat?
You must realise that software development never look back, and even it can work on those devices it will be too heavy for them to handle.
I could run Windows XP on my Pentium, 4 with half GB of RAM, is that possible with windows 7?

Yes, it's possible. With Windows 7 Starter.
2012 models can handle KitKat with no problem, but Sony it's like any other companies, they stop supporting phones to make people buy the last model, Xperia Z today. But, f*** no, we are xda, our phones can last for many years.

Hey I wanna ask if there will be JB for our xperia u
I read somewhere that JB will be available on 2013 is that correct?

We dont know yet for the official, but XU will get CM10 from FXP I guess.

Well actually they drop their devices, like they did with x8 its got only 2.1 official firmware, but since Xperia U is anew device we will get ICS and in nearls future i hope JB. Sony is slow with their updates but they dont like other manufacturers, they did their updates unique and smooth like butter and tottaly different from others and for that they need some time
I remember the x8, I still have 2 of them. Both run bug free 2.3 overclocked and they never give any problems. I would have enjoyed the phone a lot less if it were not for the amazing devs over there, stock 2.1 is very limited and boring. I hope sony dont forget about the U and deny us JB. @dsaklein its nice to see a familiar name around here, x8 was getting a little old.

Actually it's not so bad We have 2011 xperia phones... Now it's 2012, near 2013 In 2013 i'm planing to buy Xperia V or if it happens Xperia Nexus
That's a shame, FXP is just focusing on 2012 devices, but 2012 devices still get official updates from sony, sony even ported aosp to xperia S so why worring about them?.
We need a developer like nAa, who managed to port a fully working cm7 and cm9 to the x10mini/pro and x8, he is now working on cm10 (minicm10), which runs jb almost as smooth as gingerbread in first generation devices!
We need you nAa!!
One by one the real devs left us. But we still have some Indian modders here. I'm sure they will be the new devs. Wait for that time.

Certain phones will skip a version if they are slow getting updates and the phone can handle the update. An example is the developer edition HTC One which is on 4.1 and getting skipped to 4.3.
However, my main point is that the only phones listed which will get the 4.4 update are the newer devices. Things like the S2 or Xperia U will not get those updates because they either can't handle the update or the manufacturer just doesn't want to upgrade them that far.

What was the XU's latest official update? Was it 4.1.2 or 4.2?
Either way it would still need to go to 4.3 so that Sony could know the device could have enough power to be able to run the update smoothly and efficiently.

Just because it's developed to be able to perform "well" on 512mb RAM devices, it doesn't mean that all devices with 512mb RAM will get the update. Only those which the manufacturer's chose will get the update. Sony are obviously going to focus on their newer devices (just like any other OEM) because they know that the newer phones are better equipped to have the update.

Hey there I'm curious to as if our devices will support android 4.4 KitKat because it includes the new API ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice() ... and that it would work on 512 Mb RAM ... What do u think ... and will there be any development for our devices
KitKat
Chck This link it says Kitkat is designed to run on low memory devices which has 512 MB ram.. So will it possible to run Kitkat on our Devices.http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html
i think someone will probably port it for our device if developers gets kernel support and technically yes kitkat is designed to run on 512 mb ram devices

Kiktak should run well on our devices. maybe our devices are to old, but not very weak. I have the nexus 5 kitkat port on my nexus 4 and it is running very well and uses much less ram, even with a couple of apps running in background it is not taking more than 350 MB (previously android 4.3 was taking somethimes 700MB).

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.
