It will be 6.2.b.something, you can see that in screenshot but only Sony knows what build number will be our jb fw.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EL_BELLACO:
Update is ready, they just dont want to realease it ....

Don't worry, I believe that Doomlord will somehow get the ftf very soon, even before mid May.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chaud:
So judging by the latest screenshot by doomlord, the JB update will not be including Superior Auto mode in the Camera :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Yeah, I but I'm not sure why. It works perfectly on both the leaked and the V ported camera...

But a Z port should be on the way as soon as we get JB.

Doom said he will come back to S with a kernel that should include all the Z features, so we have the use things like STAMINA, White Balance... i hope he works his way on Light Effects from SP too. I don't think he will do any app porting. That should be the job of the rest of the devs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
"Superior auto" is just some marketing name. No differences in image quality really.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
1- Will this release work on locked bootloaders? I'm very interested in STAMINA Mode.

I'm just not ready to unlock my bootloader, I have a few months of warranty yet, ,don't want lose Bravia Mobile Engine and I'm kinda noob in Android development, just learned to root and instal cwm a few days ago and flashed the generic .55 ICS FW (my SI only have the .45 ICS FW).

2- What white balance and light effects do?

Is the update ready or are Sony devs optimizing it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
1. As he will have to make a kernel supporting z features, you will need an unlocked bootloader to flash that kernel.

2. White balance will allow you to adjust your screen colors (correct me if I am wrong)

Have you seen Xperia Sp video? You will see how the led under transparent bar lights up against music and calls.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] belek1979:
in stamina mode you dont have flash notification for missed calls or sms! better turn your phone off

the same with superior auto - lightroom can much much more
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Confirmed. That "almost complete" build don't include Stamina mode.

No Superior Auto!!? Sony must be ****ting me! Already late update for a former flagship and now they are ripping out features as well! Going great Sony. Going great indeed.

Because modem for network also has files related to it in framework ;)

And since the only thing that doesn't work is actually connecting and recognising the network it may be fixable by editing smali code in framework files, too bad I don't have time because of school to investigate this further at the moment

You can take a look in framework.jar and services.jar for differences with the ics ones.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
It's funny and sad at the same time that this thread has relatively more development related posts than the actual development thread. I kept myself quiet on there because I know how important it is for the devs to be able to read each other's results/etc without having to read through pages of spam.

If it's just decompiling and comparing files or lines of code, I could do that too. Will give it a go tonight.

Phil put a video on YouTube, from what I've seen on there is that the battery is really good. The network not working probably saves some battery, but the video was with WiFi on so I'd say we can expect battery life like in the video. I never flashed the rom myself because I need my phone all the time, I have backup phones but I can't just switch SIMs anymore because of that microSIM the XS needs.

It probably saves an absolute shed load of battery not just some.

With this new JB version... is it possible to do the screen mirroring with TV? (like in Xperia Z)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krabappel2548:
No, but I have a port of it ready, just need someone to test it out :)

reflashing the kernel, modified kernel (with recovery) and the whole package didn't solve the problem.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kevin-0100:
You regain root by flashing superuser from cwm. You can find it by googling for it. After flashing root should be restored

WiFi 5Ghz

Hello.

I was wondering if new firmware and the jellybean bring the possibility to use 5Ghz WiFi networks?

Thank in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BXM500:
No. As this requires a new hardware i.e. 5Ghz radio.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hauntedbg:
I think our wireless chip is 5Ghz capable but sony didn't write software
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
5GHz also needs a different antenna because that is the completely different wavelength. The chip might be capable of 5GHz, but if the antenna is not present it's not possible. It happens often that chips are more capable than what the manufacturers do with it, like the Nexus 4 and LTE. If Sony didn't bother to include 5Ghz in the software, I think it's safe to say they didn't include the antenna either.

I think you might have forgotten to unmount system before flashing the ROM (step 2 in DooMLorD's guide). That could cause a Status 7 error anyway. So make sure system is not mounted (in CWM I think it's in mounts&storage).

RE: Moble networks

ive found by going into the "testing" menu (*#*#4636#*#*) ,you can set your GSM band this may be causing the network not to work because GSM is only set for one country in one network which wouldent work because T-Moble UK with USA GSM band doesent make sense to me

AND im not a developer so dont take me for one its just a theory that that might be the problem

other things ive knoticed , sim toolkit doesent exist and networking types seem to be kinda broken ' thats all i gatherd i hope this helps a developer.

i kinda spoiled my self instead of waiting for the actual release BAD ME!!!
