Probably not. How many devices 'officially' have 2.3...? The Nexus S? That doesn't have sense, and the hardware on that phone is slightly different from our phone's hardware...
Considering we don't have 2.2 with sense, what makes you think we'll get 2.3 with sense? lol.

I know it was a stupid question xD, sorry !
Then I will look forward to a stable Gingerbread with some more 3D performance, and maybe a bit faster(A).
Love to this project!
Thanks ,

For sure it will become faster and more stable
Let the devs work and as they did for froyo,there will be a final and nice gingerbread build
Indeed, the gb builds are all pretty alpha. XDAndroid always strives for stability, hence the reason some things are just removed for the moment. Once the kinks are worked out, the missing pieces will be added back in and there will be a final build - but there will probably be a beta and several RC's before it can be considered final. Thanks!
sense GB, yea right....
Hello everyone, I know that maybe it be a stupid question but coming from an Xperia arc with a lot of Custom Rom available on the web I found a little stunned to see that the Xperia S have little number , maybe 4 or 5 in which I had some problems.
Do you know if this is due to development difficulties or other problems?
since our phone has been included in 'AOSP (even if little time), I expected more interest from developers ...

At this time we have : CM9, CM10, AOKP, MIUI and some Roms based on Stock after 6 months being sold and almost of them are really great that could be used daily. Now let's comparing to Arc's Custom Rom after ~10 months ( in February, 2012) CM7, MIUI and a few Roms based on stock.
These devs here in particular volunteer to do this work so you should satisfy with what we have at the moment:good:

Hello guys, i had sony live with walkman, but he broke.
Now, i liked xperia sola, but, on XDA xperia sola development have little custom roms, so, with the arrival of ics on sola, roms will emerge as there are on other devices? like xperia ray, live with walkman and others that have much custom roms...
sorry by my english...
In next time CM9.1 will come to our sola For sure in Future will come more Developing for the sola i think, but not as much as for the XperiaRay or the XperiaS :/ The XperiaS is widespread and the sola not, it's more a "low active" device i think but ROM's are not all! The important think is that you have a smartphone which you really like and not a smartphone with that you can change everyday to a new ROM!
And sorry for my bad English

Ok, you´re right, arriving the ICS on sola is already a great step i think... but, some good custom rom´s are also great...
Do not go for it. Buy any other brand. The development for U,P and Sola is like zero. Even after ICS i don't think there'll be any good development. Go for sAmsung device. I know they're ugly and all but the development is awesome.

Nonsense !
There is no sense in developing for GB because ICS is right behind the corner.
After getting ICS there will be plenty of ROM's ! U and P are the same phone, only differences are screen size and ram therefore every rom that comes to P can be ported to U in no time.
Samsung devices are crap in matters of build quality.

Yeah? I have a galaxy s i9000 right with me atm. A 2010 phone, running JB perfectly! So yeah for me its way better than my 2012 PoS xperia U!
And fyi i said that because the u,p and Sola are based on a completely new board. The development isn't guaranteed.

OK man, you think xperia sola will be many custon rom´s after ICS? I´m still a lot of fear about launch custon roms on sola, because i like custom roms... but i need a new smartphone and de xperia sola is very good phone.... cost X benefit

If you like it, buy it. There will be plenty of Roms.
Same happened with my Atrix. came to a NEW board and now its highly developed
Good luck !
I just got the xperia U today, awesome phone !
I own a galaxy note and yes the development in that board is astounding. With the Sola, I'd wait til ICS comes out and see if development picks up, if it's that important to you. I got a Sola as a backup device and I can tell you that I'm extremely happy with it. For my requirements, it's very reliable and cost effective. It runs games and apps flawlessly. temple run doesn't lag! Lol

Xperia U is nice, but doesn´t have micro sd slot, i put many musics, videos and games... só because that i prefer the sola...
I think I'll risk buying the xperia sola. I´m not a maniac chance rom, but, I like to put roms that improve the performance, add to quick panel, for example...
Thank you for all answers...

The last time i use a custom rom is on my x10 mini .
For me the custom rom is for those phone which cant get official update .
I don care about the fancy UI thing as you already can do it by installing launcher pro etc
The ICS on xperia P which using same chip with sola is running more than decent .
So it probably does not need any custom rom at all . At most some clean version of stock rom without bloatware .
Just my opinion .
IF...
if you want to have your phone updated as fast as it can be you should buy google backed smartphone like galaxy nexus, companies using android are not to keen on making hasty updates to already sold phones so its better to stay close to the source of android development. If i could get my money back from my Sola i would do so and then i wouldn't hesitate to save some money and buy nexus or sgs II (which used in good shape are like 20-30% more expensive). I should know to not trust Sony in making the ideal phone for me (it was, on paper..) nevertheless its a good phone but in that price range its purchase ain't reasonable IMO.
Since I started using it there were no positive surprises, just the bad ones for ex. you can't make folders in the main app menu, I can't comprehend why on home screen folders can be created, but in app menu you can not make them so with a lot of apps its one giant mess. other trivial example is the Sony's ICS rollout, which is very sluggish and as far as Sola is considered i think it might be the last major update to its firmware.
For me its 5.5/10 in terms of overall satisfaction of owning it.

It seems OP got his answers. Thread closed.
Hi guys, seems sony is not going to support us and not going to update our phones to the latest Jelly bean android os. Looking around the thread i see the only problem with sony not updating to jb is with the drivers for jelly bean for our phones, i also found out that making the drivers is not a impossible task but a very hard one ( seems X8 has no problem running JB as devstaff said ). I on behalf of all the owners of 2011 xperia devices kindly request all the great developers here in this forum to join togeather to develope drivers for these devices, pls guys help us keep our great phone RAY up-to date.
As far as I know it's NOT an impossible task (because nothing is impossible), but our developers have to deal with reverse engineering and believe me concerning drivers it's a very complicated thing. Too much effort and time put with minimal or no gain at all.
I remember WM 6.5 ROMS for HTC Touch HD whose support was so quickly dropped by HTC and we, simple folk, didn't get the desired 6.5 update. So there were cooks and lot's of 6.5 Blackstone ROMS but, as genius as they were, developers didn't manage to get them work full throttle because, guess what, of them blasted drivers!
So the answer to your question is probably "no"..
am i missing the point of this thread?
there is CyanogenMod 10 jb which supports well most 2011 handsets - CyanogenMod the best you can have on the xperia ray.
i too have an xperia ray and was very unhappy with the original Sony bloat - the phone constantly crashed, rebooted, froze up - you name it, it made no fun at all. after throwing it around out of anger, i put myself together and installed CyanogenMod 9 at first, all previous errors were gone spontaneously. now a month or two ago i started to move to CyanogenMod 10 and guess what, it works great - running android 4.1.2. i'm anxious to install the latest fxp146 which will be online soon.
you can find the stuff here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409053

Xperia X8 support stopped with 2.1, but they have jelly bean, so it's not impossible as you say. If the developers wish they could do it for ray too.

Ya man CM is awesome, but it dosen't contain the awesome picture quality of the sony ics camera, there was a picture preview glitch in CM. I'm saying that it would be great if developers could make the drivers for ray and make a debrand engine of sony jb version it will be fuc**in awesome thats all mate.
Well. Only sony has to do this. No developer is able to build drivers. We can port ones as FXP do. And see what is haappening. You dont ahve a full working and cool JB. SO you will never will. There is no engineer that knows sonys hardware and would like to be part of xda and share. No possible way

Then can you tell me how xperia x8 having only 600mhz processor runs jelly bean so smoothly, with its software support stopped by sony in android 2.1 foryo. There is a way, the devolpoers could do it, i personally think if the FXP,AOKP,PA join hands they could do it

It seems you do not fully understand how drivers are developed. And with x8 devs were just lucky to get hands on something similar which they adapted for this xperia model. Hell, you can have legendary HTC HD2 running Android and WP7 smoothly but you won't find not a single driver created from the ground up by our XDA tech gurus! So I repeat, what you suggest is very complex and most likely impossible.

Well for us jelly bean is smooth too but when it's not fully useful and it freezes a lot. For x8 its the same

We need good devs, like Nobodyatall to help us port drivers and more.
Maybe we should start a donation to Naa to help us? Cuz nAa is a superior dev, he made 2.2, 2.3, 4.0, 4.1 for the X8, and the X8 only runs eclair on stock.
Is my idea good? Should we ask nAa for help?
Another idea is to port DesireHD roms because the HW is almost the same, or maybe Xperia J?
Nothing is impossible, we just need good developers thats good at working with drivers.

Even if someone did manage to do so, the graphics and the OS in general(of lollypop) requires higher levels of hardware than that which is there on our humble xp.. I personally feel kitkat is pretty much the limit for xp, for a smooth UI and functioning..

Probably yes, Android Lollipop is already available for Xperia™ U.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2933194
Apparently, there is something happening on the Sola side regarding Android5 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/issues/qa-android-source-project-5-0-xperia-t2933481
AFAIK, other than the RAM, the interior hardware of sola and xp are pretty much the same. So probably, we might get to taste the lollypop on xp as well, Lets keep our fingers crossed...
And regarding the task for R&D, i'm just a junior member bro, Y dont you ask some of the seniors here, I'm sure they would have something for you..
