[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I find it funny everyone thinks the JB update is slow. Sony was very vocal when JB came out as Google had never told them it was even coming. They pushed ICS to most the new devices within six months of them being released and not quite six months latter they are bringing JB to the table. Seems reasonable to me. As some have pointed out there is not much difference in JB and ICS for it to be a big deal. Most of the things you will get can be had now through mods and such.

I do think its crap you S guys have to wait so long for the update and it does seem like they could push updates to more devices faster. But also keep in mind the update schedule is for the carriers rolling them out. I would think we will see them show up in leaks well before then like we have before so many times.

For anyone who is mad that this will be the last update you need to keep in mind that once 5.0 shows up most of these devices will be close to a year old or more. Most of us have seen how hard it has been for devs to get ICS and JB fully working on older devices and some newer ones. Most of the manufacturer these days are withholding some key parts of source code and that makes things very complicated. I would also assume that 5.0 will be centered around the newer quad core chips and bigger ram in the newest devices.

I read the comments here and I laugh....I am an. LG OB user expecting the Xperia Acro s on the 7th, do u know that my LG OB just got a really buggy ics update last month? about 5 months after all other Xperias had gotten their respective updates....

reading the comments here make me think twice about not adding an extra 10k and going in S3's direction....anyways, I do hope the Acro s gets key lime pie update, no matter how late it might be.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wiidbzxt:
As long as they release phones with unique desgin and eye-pleasing UI, I don't care which software I'm running. So I'll most likely stick to Sony for a long time.

I mean, my (dead) Xperia Pro was running GB all the time because of how smooth and good the UI felt. I never cared about my X10 running 2.1 because I really liked the UI (but the FPS cap they added was pretty dumb). Now that I have Xperia P, I'm even happier with Sony prducts, the design of the NXT series phones is something really unique, I really love the way my Xperia P looks, and with Sony's ICS UI, I'm even happier, I can totally wait 3-4 (maybe even 5) to get JB on this device.

I also had a G-Note (N7000), it was a really powerful phone, but the design felt (for me) a bit 'bland' and the UI (on GB at least) wasn't that polished for my liking, so I ended up selling it.

But in the end, I agree with what many people is saying, we all have different priorities on our phone, but for me, UI and design goes first.

My LT28at was released in June with gingerbread, now it has ics. Both are very good roms no bugs, except the picture compression. If it gets a smooth running jellybean before June I will be happy. I know we were late to get ics, but 2 major OS upgrades in less than 12 months is good product support. Especially while phasing out Ericsson. Just my thoughts.

Guys,

Now lets focus on Xperia Z/ZL, as of now both looks good in terms of hardware and software.

Only Sony needs to release both phones globally by Feb end !!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] osharaf:
To be honest i am sick of Sony slow updates even though i love the hardware and the only thing holding me back from switching to nexus is the waterproof phones as it became something i can't do without.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] slybeans:
Yeah unfortunately I can't put up with this, we finally get ICS for our phones and then they release JB. I'll just get the next Nexus instead of having to wonder when I'll get the next update!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] keithwalton:
Xperia S will be my first and will be my last sony smartphone, it had promise of great hardware at low cost, and sony was willing to help out the community with it.

There is slow updates and then there is taking the biscuit, you'd of thought they'd put there top phones at the top of the list, not the bottom.

May even trade in to a nexus 4 before my contract is up

[Android Apps and Games] Z_Black:
I haven't used them a whole lot to be honest, but just today I was going to purchase the Adobe Kuler app. Useful for creating color schemes and such and was unable to find it. The link on Adobe's site took you to an empty Play Store link with nothing to be found. The link for Proto was still working, but doing a search you cannot find it. So If you happen to have any of these apps on a tablet, or purchased but not downloaded, I recommend doing that now in case they all disappear.

The *ONLY* Touch app continuing to be developed for Android will be Photoshop Touch.

I had a very short twitter conversation with them and as of today they said, only Photoshop touch will continue for Android.

[General Questions and Answers] calebedens89:
My main goal here is to run Cyanogenmod 9 on my girlfriend's T-Mobile myTouch Q LG C800, but I am running into a slight problem when trying to put CWM Recovery onto her phone. This is majorly irritating because I finally got my PC to recognize her phone in fastboot mode after struggling with that for a while, and I thought the rest would be easy, but no.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 <-- I'm on this page.

So, on that page, at step 3, I can successfully run "fastboot erase recovery" in command prompt. Great.

Here is my problem. The next step is to run "fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\to\downloaded\lgc800-recovery-cwm-chui101.img" in command prompt.

But, when I do that, it says "error: cannot load 'C:\Path\to\downloaded\lgc800-recovery-cwm-chui101.img' : No error"

I tried being as specific as possible as to what exactly the problem I'm having is. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

so i have had Awesome beats on all my other phones and wondering if i can get it on dna. i know it has beats audio built in but i liked the features and different sound modes in awesome beats. any way to get this app to tweak with beats audio?
[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
I found a DSP manager that works, and as far as I can tell it's the same thing with a different logo. I'm not really sure. What I do know is that DSP+Beats amplifier+good headphones will rattle your friggin' brain. Seriously I was testing it and it got to the point where I told myself "this can't be safe." but it sounds awesome. It's like having subs in your ears. Anyways here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017647

Oh and if DSP and the Awesome Beats thing are in fact two different beasts, I'd recommend looking in the HTC OneX forums. That's where I found the DSP zip. It's gonna have some libs that you need too besides the apk, so if you do find it, it should be a flashable zip.

Let me preface this by saying I am a noob at theming, but wanted to give it a whack. I did some research and asked questions and made some progress until I hit a brick wall. I am on a stock based ROM and that makes a big difference.

So I pulled the framework and sytemui apk's. I de-compiled these and made made the changes I wanted and that's when the ish hit the fan. Apparently there is no way to re-compile the stock ASUS apk's.

So now how to I go about making these changes if I can not re-compile the apk's? Is there a work around or do I need to change the files in another way? Can I change the regular png files or do I need to use the .9 png files? Any help or pointers is appreciated. I am still learning this stuff. I learned how to batch change colors which helped immensely.

I haven't seen this error before so I'll have to google a bit to figure out what's going on here.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Figured it out. I deodexed the CarHome apk from the AT&T rom posted in their Optimus G forum.

If you're interested in doing it yourself, grab the rom from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2067871.

Next, extract system/framework to a folder somewhere and the system/app/CarHome.apk and system/app/CarHome.odex files somewhere else.

Use baksmali to decompile the odex file:

java -jar baksmali.jar -d frameworkDir -x CarHome.odex

It will produce an out folder with the smali files; use smali to recompile these:

java -jar smali.jar out

Rename the resulting out.dex file to classes.dex and inject it into CarHome.apk (I used 7zip to do this).

Put the resulting apk in /system/app and reboot.

The apk I created is here, in case anyone doesn't want to go through the mess of manually deodexing: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/454322/CarHome.apk

Hello,

I have bought the Optimus G (French version - E975) and I don't find how to launch the car dock using magnet. I used to have this option on my old Motorola Defy with official car dock but before buying a new car dock for the Optimus G, I want to be sure that it exists a car dock that allow automatic car mode using magnet option but It seams that on E975 there is no magnet detection inside...

Someone can help me please?

Kind regards,

Guillaume.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nericus:
If the phone has the Car app installed, but doesn't respond to a magnet, they might've removed that functionality.

You have tried running a magnet on it? If you're looking at the device, on the back, below (towards USB) the volume toggle, if I put a little Neodynium magnet there, Car mode engages automatically.

Of course, I never did find a dock, but I can't say I looked too hard either.
[LG Optimus G (International)] guib2c:
I don't know where to place exactly the magnet (2cms on the right of the 'G' of LG logo ?) and if my magnet is a Neodynium magnet or not...

[LG Optimus G (International)] nericus:
Neodynium magnets are the silver ones that are reallllly fragile. They're also silly-strong.

Hey everyone,

I have an LG P500 ( AT&T Variant - 'LG Thrive'). I had it rooted, although this is not the cause of the bricking. One day all of a sudden out of the blue it would not boot. After pressing the power button, the LG logo will come on, and the 4 button LEDs will flash 4 times and stay lit and the device will continue to stay on the LG screen.

The thing is this: i booted into the rom, and turn off the debugging, then i screw up my phone again and connect it, and it wasn't recognized,, I run out of ideas, maybe someone else knows a way to comunicate the phone and the computer.

The only thing left would be using KDZ, but that's a windows program, you could use wine, but even running it on windows sometimes causes a hard brick, i couldn't image what would happen if you use it on wine, so if you still have warranty i suggest you to use it
