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?

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,,
About ROM,,I very Interesting on ParanoidAndroid(I'm currently use this ROM on my device )
But there are person who tell me the Xperia devs hate ParanoidAndroid ROM

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.

That was exactly my thought when I was going to change device.
I thought about it for a second and then I got the ZU instead.
Reasons for my choice?
-old processor
-no sd slot
-extreme fragility
-LG
-no LTE
-no USB OTG
And others that do not come to mind right now.
I agree, it's cool to have the latest OS, but going through several devices I came to the conclusion that it's better to have a .1 revision less but more stability instead of the latest rushed just to have it.
If I feel the need to have more I always have custom ROMs.
And hey, my wife's Z had 4.1.2 when she got it, and a few months later it was updated to 4.2.2, so I'm not feeling "left out" by Sony in terms of updates.

Feel the same too, Sony seems to keep they devices up to date very well, but I can understand they do not want to make so many different updates. 4.3 and 4.4 come far too close for give want to company to update all the time.

I guess if you have to have the latest OS you just need to install a custom Rom..
I've surprised myself this time though.. I've just stayed at the stock rom with Xposed etc installed.
I could never have done that with my old Samsung device, but the Sony experience is much closer to stock.
same problem...still waiting for Sony to update...others have made it already..but dnt know for what Sony is waiting.....

Jeez, I'm used to Samsung update cycle which was pretty slow. November would be pretty good in my opinion for an update. I'm a fan of Sony launcher so far, as other people have said it's very close to stock which suits me well.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I wouldn't mind skipping from 4.2 to 4.4 since 4.3 doesn't really have a whole lot of features that I'm interested in. I'm getting a Nexus 5 as my main device anyways though, so the Ultra will be more for music and comics.
I'm running 4.3 now... obviously CM10.2...
But that latest update coming 4.3.1 is only 10mb... stated as... "stability and improvement fixes"
I think we need to get out of the mindset that an 'update' is actually going to make our life better. Sometimes the update is more of a parallel move, and not a linea increase...

Right, and first of all I would like they fix this SOD issue and the mess with adapt to lighting and optimized backlight. No need to hurry updates, want something rock stable. Unfortunately I really need the leds, so I can't jump on CM or OSPA.

I'm not interested in MIUI.... you could always look into developing it yourself. will just require lots of time, and testing... :good:
I don't think any dev's from miui have bought an Ultra

I have had a look at porting MIUI to the Ultra but I cant find a suitable base so far. I'll see if I can find a stable build of cm 10.1 but I wouldn't hold my breath - it needs a 4.2 base and the ones I've tried have thrown hundreds of patching errors...
With the lack of development for this device I would say no.

There's no point in developing a ROM that one or two people will use. Why spend any energy on it? It's fine if the dev ports it for himself and then decides to release it, but don't expect any MIUI release soon.

It might be easier when they update it to work on a 4.4 base, as of now I've put it in the too much trouble for the effort pile
If u really miss Miui Interface like me, there is Official Launcher in Playstore called " Mi Launcher". It's really stable and working so smooth for me
Few people use xperia z ultra,so developers can't pay attention to it.If you really want to get it,you can use Launcher t

Are they still using 4.2 as base? I was under the impression that V5 should be at least 4.3 and you could use CM10 Togari proprietary files to build.
I would love to have this rom for the Z Ultra. This is such a good phone, i dont know why only a few people has it, too bad.
Bought this tablet to build a bridge to the new Nexus 10.
I have had the new Asus Transformer tf701 but it's terrible bad. The tf700 was way better build.
But anyway... Why is the XDA community so small here?
I don't see custom Roms based on stock. Why is that? I don't like CM and don'twa nt to lose feature as remote control.
Are the stock roms that good they don't need development?
And the funny thing is that Sony encourage Rom development.
Yeah I've had my tablet for a bit now and I'm pretty happy with stock though some stock based rom would be great if anybody could make one

tell me what somebody could modify on a stock rom of this baby...It's perfect(i use cm because i like the latest and greatest but stock roms are perfect)
There is already a stock based ROM to be created, but it is being delayed. I'm the official tester (though not the one making it), and I'm waiting for it new stuff to test for weeks... Om going to contact the dev in the weekend to see the progress...

in relation to previous comments, i agree that stock 4.3 rom is good. it has a few bugs but i can live with it..
it's smooth and no lags.. games are excellent.. plus xposed framework for xperia is filling up some extra features..
themes are good.. that's my personal opinion,,,

I must agree in everything you all say. I underestimated the tablet Z. It's better than the tf700. And the looks and feel are very convenient.
Sony did a great job on this.
I am a bit of a flashoholic that's why I have asked.... But why change something when it's already good. And with xposed there is a lot of personal tweaks possible.
Never the less, would be great to try some custom stock Roms.
BTW is there a xposed mod to set the navigation bar to the left again? Still don't understand why they did that on a 10 inch tablet

After watching thousands of videos about android L I'm really thinking about changing my G2 for Nexus 5. Maybe because I had nexus 4 and maybe because of so many developers, I dont know. Anyone else ?
I don't care about android L and for me G2 is still better choice
No thanks. We'll have Android L soon anyway either through the upcoming port OCEANDEV and Co is working on or through CM

We are gonna get L soon anyway, why sacrifice amazing 4k camera and massive battery just to get android a month or two earlier than the rest of people on xda, and those people who actually wait for carrier updates. They would probably get L 6 months later, if they ever do get it. (Not counting HTC)

To have it earlier? No way.. thats not even a valid reason to switch the better G2 for an N5 (the N5 is great too, no doubt, but the G2 has better battery and camera - for me).
We'll have Android L sooner or later too, so.. just patience and its fine

Mine previous phone was also the N4 but the reason i quitted was that there were too many roms like on the N5 which all are just looking AOSP so no thanks. You can go to the N5 if you really want much development but the g2 also got already much development. Else when we figured out the black vertical lines issue and when i will receive my G2 then i will try to make a Port guide how to port the roms just like Porting nexus 4 roms to optimus g:laugh:
