[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
Agreed, and there is one fact that mismatch with the text, Why Lund can't release 4.2.2 until Tokyo phones get 4.1.2 why the head office would want that? This could cause a great diversion in the current supported products, some ICS, some JB and some with 5.0 in development... What a mess!

And You can think above... I think they're planning an upgrade S/SL/acro S/ion to 4.2 at max and T/TL/TX/V to 5.0 at max.

Ps: What is the minimum support time accord to Google policy?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] magikmichael:
18 months if im not mistaking.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
We can't have 4.2 because we don't have sources for it.

Exactly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hamodi:
we cant have 4.2 officially right ??

cuz i think there are some roms around with 4.2 !!

i think we can have it ported or build from source no ?!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Yes, we have 4.2 ROMs, but we won't get a stable 4.2 by Sony because Qualcomm didn't released drivers for this version. Some rumours say Qualcomm is skipping 4.2 to give us 5.0 (or 4.3), but no one knows...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akkiannu:
But by that quote it says that Lund was planning to EOL the support last year only for the XS. I don't see any update coming for XS after JB. :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Just asked to Randomuser, he said he can't confirm the Qualcomm source part, but last S update will be 4.1...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akkiannu:
Sorry to say but Sony are all over the place. Sony Tokyo should concentrate on hardware, leave the software for Lund to design. I mean what is wrong with that? Silly japanese.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
So, XS was released Feb 2012, this means that Sony needs provide updates to the last Android released until August 2013, so we're probably getting Key Lime Pie (4.3/5.0) Am I right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] blakwhite:
It was more like a marketing tool of Google 1.5 years ago but one which then died, I think.

Anyway, 8-9 months of flagship support is not Sony-ish. We can stick to that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Guys we're going way off topic here. This is the Q&A for the leaked JB rom, not the "when is Sony releasing that update".

Just 1 quick thing about that subject: supporting a device does not mean that the manufacturer is forced to release updates to newer Android versions. If you bought a pc with Windows 7, you didn't get a free update to Windows 8 either. So many people are acting like they're entitled to updates... You knew what you were getting into when you bought a GB phone when ICS was out for a few months already.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] blakwhite:
Bad example. You can always upgrade ms win if you pay where as phone producers are the only ones that can provide upgrades. In the smart-mobile world support means software upgrade mainly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kevin-0100:
People please be reminded where this thread is for, a q&a for the leaked rom.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I am curious about one thing here - when I see custom ROMs - every one has some minor bugs that are not so important but still - they exist :)

Somewhere HDMI doesn't work, camera is bad, battery life is worse, performance isn't good... Why is it not possible to take some stuff from this ROM and port it to custom ROMs?

I am not a developer so please don't be mad at me for asking silly questions.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
AOSP ROM is different from stock ROM...

Also different tweaks have different advantages & disadvantages, so it is nearly impossible to get a perfect custom ROM
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I'm sorry mister, but I can't find that info anywhere in this thread. Someone who flashed this, does it have smallapps + new task switcher, BE2, project butter, and new sound enhancement?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
Please look at the dev thread... There is a video tutorial...

It has Smallapps & new sound enhancement (but bear in mind that this is just a leak fw... everything may change on official release...)

And Project Butter is a must in Jelly Bean:good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I was going to say to take a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2104020&highlight=doomlord, because it answers nearly all of your questions, but apparently the pictures have been removed. What you still can do is watch the Youtube videos over at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2154723.

That should answer most of your questions. There will be no BE2, and if there was no Project Butter it wouldn't be JB so it's a given that that's there.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The time you took to type that you could have used the search. The whole idea wasn't to be rude, but to alert you that the search button is there for that reason, and also everyone don't have to be ready to answer you or anyone else asking the same thing over and over again.

I bet a lot of other people also don't have time to do the same, but they search.

There isn't Stamina mode.

I did the search, with Stamina as key word. For some reason, there aren't any words related to that, which is strange as it was already asked multiple times, both here and the dev thread. Maybe the posts with it were cleaned.

I'm sorry, but the idea reminds: search before asking.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
We will have Power Management (like P and T have), and Doom, with other devs, should port things like White Balance, Stamina and Light Effects from SP.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nepythys:
Felimenta97, The whole time it took you for that long reply, you could have just as easily considered stopping that attitude of yours which is in each and every one of your posts. This is nowadays a tech community, it's pretty normal for people to keep asking the same questions over and over again. If you don't mind, could you please refrain from replying as long as the question bothers you? Might as well let someone else ready to help answer the bothersome question. Don't take this offensively, this is coming from someone who has been reading this forum every day for the last 2 years.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alex_dudu_:
From where do you know that ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
Read this. If you do reply to me, kindly repeat what the first rule is to me, please.

What people like martinko23 say by not searching for answers themselves is "My time is worth much more than yours. You do the searching, I can't be arsed to." Which is only reinforced by this gem:

"What I mean to say is that you probably don't work, so you can afford to waste your much less valuable time by finding answers to my questions".

I personally don't care much what goes on in martinko23, as I don't expect him to care what goes on in mine, but if he comes in here with that attitude, he won't get very far.

In case you work and you're tired when you get home, here's a video for you to watch.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Exactly. But now let's get back to the point?

Is anyone that is using the leaked is able to mount the system?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Battery life was reported to be quite good even without a stamina mode (look at the Youtube videos in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2154723. He was using a clean installation though, a rom is not all there is to battery life.

If you have to recharge every 6 hours you have a faulty battery, or there's an app draining your resources, or you do have some valuable time to spare and spend it fiddling too much with your phone. For regular usage this phone should easily last 12 hours so take your pick what's going on. It's probably some apps draining the battery though, especially ad-supported games are notorious for that. Even with power tools (or whatever it's called on T and V) you're still going to have a lousy battery life if it's only 6 hours at the moment.

Also, would you please change your banner? It's gigantic and has nothing to do with mobile devices.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] martinko23:
I am always on 3g, and calling trough viber, so that's why i need to recharge my battery every 6 or 7 hours :-/

I hope there will not be rants here. Unless you guys fancy this thread locked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] revan17:
I don't see the point in bashing Sony, but the way they're doing things in really sad. First it was End of March, now it's the end of April and now they're pushing it to end of May. I mean come on, you got to be an idiot to not understand people's frustrations.

Why can't they just release the 3.4 kernel sources? So our developers can finish their JB work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
I think there's a CRITICAL point everyone missed. The only promise Sony made is subsequent weeks after end of March. Sony didn't break any promises. The Tweet that Sony Xperia DE was not official and was retracted later.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xperiasblack:
Now sony say update will be at the end of may -.-
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] revan17:
Logic dictates subsuqent weeks means 2,3 weeks tops....from the end of March. If it weren't so, subsuqent could literally mean 5 years from the end of March. There's no defending Sony on this.

They're late a whole month for Xperia P, Go and J, they're late 2 months for Xperia S.

They should have refrained from making any announcements at all and just released when they thought was ready. Now they gotta deal with the backlash of frustrated(rightfully so) users.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
No. A normal human's logic will not give an assumption to what "subsequent weeks" meant. You cannot add childish hopes into what "subsequent weeks" meant as the world don't and will never revolve around you. And Xperia J, T and V's updates were much earlier than scheduled.

As I said, the final ROM will prob. have it since even XP got it with JB.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No, it doesn't. It isnt part of the actual kernel, but Doom said he will port that from Z kernel (the rest will be with the rest of the devs)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechelsea:
How much does stamina mode improve battery anyway? I think as long as u run the battery consuming ICS then stamina mode won't help.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Check their dev blog to know how it works, but it says it can saves up to.4x Times the battery depending on the device state.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sinple:
Quoting from the app call easy battery saver, stamina mode will only work if u are not using yr phone constantly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Stamina mode only improves standby by disabling connections and apps.

Screen on time will be unchanged.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechelsea:
So it's same as turning off Wi-Fi, 3g, gps etc?

Basically but with stamina mode you can allow some apps to automatically sync. So you can always have gmail or something synchronized on some period of time. There are a lot of options on stamina. Its something like juicedefender.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Now before I begin, most of you had lost the ability to use Market Enabler/Unlocker due to the recent update on Google Servers which now upon purchase tracks down your actual location and ties down your account to your location.

So here's the deal on how to get it back. Without rooting. Without any Unlocker.

Requirements-

- 2 Android Phones.

- VPN (TunnelBear or HotspotShield)

- Patience

Now before you jump into conclusions, that "OH VPN" Just remember, that when you get off the VPN, Exit PlayStore and open it again, it re-asks you to "Accept" terms which brings you back to your local playstore. Boohoo. Here's proof on my side at the end of this post.

Instructions

Phone #1

- Open Play, Download the app called TunnelBear VPN

- Clear Market Cache/Data after Download

- Register with TunnelBear/Hotspot VPN and connect to it.

*Make sure you are connected and are receiving packets!*

- Open Play, Accept the terms and you will now be greeted with the ever so friendly US Play store as shown below. (Refer to Image #1)

- Once accepted, tab out and back in to make sure it sticks without exiting, do not exit the app via Multi window!

Phone #2

- Clear Cache/Data on Android phone #2

- Open Play *Without connecting to VPN*

*This time, it will ask you to accept terms, but lead you to the US Play Store*

Phone #1

- Disconnect from the VPN from Android #1 used and tab back to Play.

For those who doubt my location, refer to Image #2

Finally, to prove that this works, I have loaded Play on all my devices (Cleared Data/Cache for devices that were not used in this setup) and without the use of any VPN they all loaded Play US Store. (Refer to Image#3 and #4)

Explanation

If you own a device or more that share the same account such as, Phone#1 and Phone#2 share the account you use for Purchase (To share paid apps between devices) Google servers check with each device

eg: Phone #1 location = US, Proceed. Welcome to US Play. Disconnect VPN

Phone #2 location = <Your country>, Check Phone #1 <VPN Disconnected already>, Location ? US, resend Terms Policy. Reset.

And yes they can determine your carrier and location without you knowing, When you install an app via Play it shows under devices as

But if you had faked initial Device #1 and accepted, then accepted via Device #2, it check's back with Device #1, Since Device#1 says US, it proceeds with what permission was granted first to the gmail account <US Play Permission due to VPN>.

Well I have just read the review of the XZ over on Endaget http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/sony-xperia-z-review/

and I'm happy that Sony have implemented the use of Spotify and other apps from the lockscreen! "Since last year's Xperia models, we can now welcome Google Now to the fold, while Spotify and other apps are now accessible from the lock screen."

This has made me so happy and I really hope this doesn't mean you can access it from the notification bar in the lockscreen, I missed this feature from my HTC One X; Samsung don't offer it with TouchWiz unless you have a password, where it defaults to vanilla JB lockscreen.

Can anyone that has a XZ confirm this please?? :fingers-crossed:

I really hope this is correct, it's a small feature I know, but god it makes life so easy for me! :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
:) This has been available on all 2012 Xperia's since ICS, by the way. The lockscreen controls use the standard Android API's, which means any app that plays music and implements them can show up on the lockscreen. One of the Sony niceties!

[Android General] stretchwookie:
i took a look at that unity launcher and i think it looks pretty great. im going to buy it soon to check it out. on that note, there are 2 other similar apps that i HAVE tried

Swipepad- you can set up a gird of up to 3x4 apps and choose a part of the screen youd like to swipe from. although it sounds limited, you can actually have different content in each grid, with up to 9 grids. which gives enough room for 108 apps. it also has 3 addons, but those are all paid. one lets you access contacts and recent tasks when you swipe the action area. one addon lets you launch/activate widgets. the last addon lets you get up to 6x4 grids, doubling your total app size.

Swipepad (Free for app, addons cost)

Relauncher- i didnt like this one as much size it was TOO all inclusive. also allows you to swipe from a desired spot. once you do, you have several categories, but the category icons are all lined up on the side like unity. You can rearrange what category you want what apps in. The apps show up in a "grid" format. but relauncher learns your behavior. the more you use an app FROM relauncher, the closer it will get to the edge of the screen so that your swipes arent so large. unfotunately, i have 250+ apps at any given time, and this just looks messy and feels clunky. but i can assure it works well. relauncher is free, but does have a nag-pop-up. in order to get rid of the nag, you have to buy the key. dev is promising more "pro" only updates in the future, but there is currently no extra features

Relauncher (free, pro key available)

Hey guys,

Since there arent much recoveries and ROMs available for the ZTE U950 (only a chinese CWM which works fine), ive decided to make my own (english) CWM. Yesterday i finally got the first reasonable result. First i flashed the FakeFlash update.zip to see if it's basically working (this file is 2,1Mb) after the flashing of the update.zip was successful ive decided to write the new recovery.img (Size:6,5MB) in the block. After this i tried to get into recovery mode and the only thing i saw was a white screen, so I googled the problem but found nothing that can solve my problem so i hope that with your help i can fix the problem

P.S.: If anyone is interested i can upload this recovery ,when it works, for other users ;), if youre interested just write it below ;)
