Does anybody know if AOKP or CyanogenmMod are working on updating their roms to Android L?
I know it's officially just for Nexus 5 and 7 at this point, but Im interested to know if they will port this to other devices,
specifically our precious Galaxy S3.
Thanks in advance for your input, guys.
I guess when Google will push the source of Android L to AOSP, CM and others can start working on it. But before that I don't think we'll get Android L.

Do you think that will in the next few weeks, or just in the fall, when the system gets officially released?

of course they will, but only when it gets officialy released
it's hard to port from a dev. image and it's harder of the S3 (no sources and all)

Thanks a lot for the info.
At least now I'll know not to hold my breath.
I would really want to get my hands on L but people THINK for a second Google didn't even released the L yet and you want CyanogenMod L on your phones. Use your brains. When the code will be released we will be able to start thinking about porting. Not earlier. WAIT and CyanogenMod will do something for our phones but only whet the L is published. NOT EARLIER. By the way if you want to have L on your phone MOVE YOUR A** and start porting.

I would have ported it already, but google hasn't released the AOSP yet. Have a little patience, will you?

Honestly I'm also find this thread annoying as this is not the only post with the same content, there are still tons out there, I've seen the same post all over XDA. HOWEVER, there's no reason for you to behave this rude. Man here is XDA. If you want to show your attitude go somewhere else. If you want to throw harsh words on others go somewhere else. Seriously you need to mind your words.

Android 4.3 for 2011 Xperias

Doesnt look like we will get latest android 4.3 for 2011 line up. The 2011 models are scratched by Sony. Only if few developers can port something for us.
If Xperia X8 got Jelly Bean running, I am sure some devs will port 4.3 onto our 2011 Xperias. Can't guarantee that it will work fast and be stable though.
1st of all, Android 4.3 is not even released yet. Even if it does get released, it will take maybe a few months before a developer actually succeeds at getting a working ROM.
Don't expect anything official from Sony.
sony are getting like Samsuck behavior-abandoned their old devices after making more new shining device..after all,xperia 2011 line are still in 'Ericsson'..hahah

This is a 2011 Xperia forum, so we are talking about 2011 Xperia devices, not 2015 ones.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
4.3 should work well on 2011, 4.2.2 (pac man) is not laggy on my xmp.
Since 4.3 is even lighter than 4.2, I'll say it will still work well, better I hope
4.3 will be probably come with less feature such as radio and camera in 4.2.2
4.2 is still not stable for our device, don't think 4.3 will be better despite being lightweight.

not all is about performance and lightness, may new android dosent support some hw-codes from our oldschooldevices, aloso we must think on camera, it was a long way to get it good working on cm10.1..... there also other problems, u can only tell if u get it boot on our devices (even this is hard devolpment..) but lets hope the best

... like said this u now only when 4.3 gets booted on our devices (and use many, many logs ) and i dont think so, the camera leaked from 4.3 worked for me on 4.2.2 but only bug was u cant see wahat u shot ... (small compared to 4.12 & 4.2.2 problems)
it think 4.2.2 is really stable only think may is battery drain if u heavy user...
peace, bejunk
Mike is already working on it
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
As of i know.... There will be a release of android 4.3 a.k.a CM 10.2 for our devices too..... coz I just saw a few videos where android 4.3 was installed in Galaxy Gio and galaxy SII
So Fingers crossed for the CM 10.2 to release for our devices as soon as possible
Chances are good. In first screenshots I saw that Android 4.3 is using kernel 3.4, the same as Legacy Xperia which is based on 4.2.2.
There is a chance that we may get Official CM10.2. :fingers-crossed:
Till then Mike is providing support for most of 2011 Xperias (LegacyXperia) :good:

i was @ SONY EUROPE LTD. headquarters here in berlin and asked about the drivers
1. it was really hard to find somebody who i can ask about that,,after some discuss with 2 ppl and the security man they only gave me a appointment. (for other day)
2. i was there. there was an guy who maked a cigarette break, and he was quite an asshole (sry but its true.) he told me (in short) that i would be to much work to find these codes in sony bcuz our devices are old.
great sony. :thumbdown:

no wonder sony is going down... can't the people at sony search a little and provide us a fortune... i wish sony ericsson was still present
The facts is,
When Sony Ericsson turned into Sony, they spent plenty of money in development & production of new devices to make a fame in market; but kept the hardware same/old for successive devices. Now condition is, they have way too many devices to maintain & money to spend on software development & software distribution for all the devices manufactured so far. It's not economical for them to do so now but as we customers have spent our money into their devices, it's our right to ask for software updates. So now they are giving reasons only to avoid old customers.
Now 'Xperienced' customers avoid Sony.
Hey folks,
Do you know if there are any developers working on porting Android L Developers Preview to our G2?
It's just that the Nexus 5 and the LG G2 are very similar on hardware, it seems like it's not that complicated.
Thanks.
Please don't move the thread to Q&A, it's less a question and more a discussion.
you already have a thread(s) with this question and it's been answered just a few days ago...

Found it...
Well, depends on how difficult it is to port it to the G2. If it's difficult and could take a lot of time I agree with you, start developing a ROM would be a waste of time.
But if it's an easy work (as I said earlier, the Nexus 5 and the G2 are similar) then making a ROM that matches the exact one running on the Nexus without any more features, would be very nice and something to play with until the full version comes out. And my guess is that the full L will be close (in the way of how it works) to the preview, so it might help developing later.
I think will be develop L port for our device after will be published official L sources by google

I agree with you. It would be fun to play with. I don't see why it's such a pain to do seeing that the devices are so close in specs.
Giga they are close in specs with chipset and screen but they have lots of differences regarding hardware. Its also hard to port an android version what your phone doesn't have yet and also taking the risk to do it the biggest problems are the kerne i guess. It would be theoritically possible to just flash the android l from the nexus 5 on the g2 and it might boot but its highly risky and things like wifi etc probably don't work and it could cause screen problems like the stripes issue since we don't know yet what it causes to get like that.

Can we hope to see at-least a port of Paranoid Android 4.5 or the latest 4.6?
this ones based on Cyanogenmod right? (correct me if not)
and i see a pretty stable build of CM11 from "percy_g2" using it since yesterday no fc's, no ui crashes nothing!!!
So would someone be able to port it?

yes.
i did see a porting guide for paranoid tho, but i you know **** like "compiling frm scratch" goes over your mind XD.
lets leave that^ to the developers.
if there was a guide like an easy to do copy paste thing. we could have ported it using this cm build.
back in the day we could port miui rightt bysuch a way.
moreover is the developer edition of our device happening ?
if so we might attract some developers maybe. if that happens, i dont think it might happen well

True mate, lot of guides are there but a normal user who do not have any basic knowledge of compiling will be stuck with a bricked device. I think there is no developer edition of our phone going to happen any soon.
I know this is going to be a somewhat complicated process, but I'm willing to stick with it.
I'm willing to upgrade to any ROM, really, I'm not picky. If nobody suggests anything different, I'll just go with Cyanogenmod. What I really want is Android M running on the device as soon as possible. Which ROM gets that update out the quickest? I'm a complete beginner at everything you can think of, but I can read and I have a computer, so I can follow tutorials just fine.
Any ideas which ROM I should upgrade to when the time comes? (I mean, if any developers have announced the update to M and their support for the Mate2). If not, my main question is when will Cyanogenmod developers start building on Android M? And when do you think it will get over to the Mate2?
EDIT: I know it hasn't come out yet, but sometimes developers announce that their ROM will be based on some new version of android before it even comes out.
Both PAC and CM are nice. I run CM because I prefer the stick android experience . PAC has more bells and whistles. Personal preference really. SuperBass has made videos on both of them. As well as installing each one.
M will probably never make it to the HAM2. CM works great and is easy to install. Just jump in there with both feet.

Well, to get there, I'd have to downgrade to Jellybean, upgrade to Lollipop, and then start the CM install, which I'm likely to **** up. It's gonna be more like a couple of slow hops in different directions.

Yeah, I was wondering about M. So the official Huawei devs won't update to Android M, but won't CM be updated to be based on it? Is that how it works, or am I mistaken?
I am under the impression that CM has official developers who actually work on the ROM. Then other developers use that and make it available for different devices. Therefore, Android M will be coming to the Mate2 as long as CM is updated by the official developers and it gets support for the device, right?

No, that's not how it works, actually. Huawei would have to release the HAM2 specific M code for other ROMs to use it. I am about 99.9 percent sure that Huawei will not build M for the HAM2 so it dies on the vine, so to speak.

So CM isn't a base that device developers tweak to work with specific devices? Do you mean that CM is developed over what the phone manufacturers release?

Devs need manufacturer kernel source to build off of. Someone can PORT M to this phone. But I seriously doubt that happens. Huawei will surely NOT release M. They barely managed L. And that was only due to so many complaining about no support.

Yes, CM is often used as a base that other devs use to add their stuff on top of. But, if the manufacturer doesn't release their code (which includes drivers and such), then there will be no CM. Yes, CM is developed over what the phone manufacturers release.
So it's been almost two months since Android 10 release and still almost no sign of a ROM for the Mi 8 Lite. Does anyone have an idea what's so hard about building it? Or is it because of the small community of this phone?
Thanks for the answers
why anyone so cares about new version. what do you think that you will get with A10? new wallpapers, tones and new looking icons.
f you think that is so easy to create a build , than do it yourself

Latest intel the gsi builds work except for one simple but important thing, the camera. No one has been able to make the camera work, they suspect the camera is on a module of his own and hasn't been easy to make it work on 10

Custom roms will arrive before Xiaomi launches the official Android 10 update. I'm convinced.
