A lot of people will resent Sony for pushing the Z1's ui onto the Z but fortunately I'm one of those people that are in love with it. I'm already running the Z1's launcher on my Z but I really like the other UI improvements like battery icon and white themed settings etc. Since my phone's relatively new I won't be experimenting with custom roms just yet so I'm really excited about 4.3.

Additionally from past experience with 4.3 (via CM 10.2) on Xperia T it is faster than 4.2.2 so I'm wondering what that would mean for my Z that's already flying through everything I throw at it.

I don't care that much about 4.3 as it's a minor change. The thing I'm hoping for the most is kexec kernel. If the awesome devs here manage to get it working - CM here I come. If not - well, it's not a big deal for me.

[Xperia Z General] kamalmawa:
Agree with that I had a S1 and a S3 before moved into XZ mainly because of the AOSP support given by Sony. But I keep going back to Sony stock firmware over AOSP based ROMs as Sony Xperia UI way better than Samsung touchwiz. Much prettier and lighter ;)

no update for today and tomorrow so see you next week/
[Xperia Z General] Djocker:
Joining the Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra which got Android 4.3 earlier this week.

Sony will rollout Android Jelly Bean (4.3) to owners of the Sony Xperia Z, Xperia ZR, Xperia ZL and Xperia Tablet Z in the next couple of days, possibly even as early as tomorrow.

We already knew the release of Android 4.3 was imminent after the update was given the green light by the wireless device certification forum the PTCRB. But we weren't sure exactly when it would roll-out until Sony accidentally revealed the information on the Xperia Z's support page.

The global support page for Sony's waterproof smartphone, which has since been amended, stated that Android 4.3 (build 10.4.B.0.569) was first released on 2013-12-19 - whoops seems like someone jumped the gun. So there we have it the Xperia Z will get Jelly Bean tomorrow.

Given that the other smartphones in the Xperia Z range have also been certified for release, it seems pretty safe to assume they'll follow suit and be released tomorrow. Or at the very least, they should get the update in the next couple of days.

As always those with devices locked to a specific operator will have to wait that bit longer to get the update. And as soon as we get further details on the rollout of Android 4.3 to Sony's Xperia Z range on specific UK operators we'll let you know.

How many is really using stock apps? I mean, I use Handcent for texting, Aqua Mail for email, Office Calculator Pro as calculator, Apex Launcher Pro as launcher, and I have smaller soft keys installed. With XPosed I have Nexus ring lock screen, and CyanogenMod toggle tiles. System keyboard is replaced with SwiftKey. For now I just see an update as a piece of work to get my setup back the way I like it.

4.4 is another matter, with a radical change in the Android platform.
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
Why not use AOSP/CM 4.4 if you don't even use the official Sony apps at all.

I'm happy with most the apps, only replaced is mail, launcher, keyboard and browser. (now aquamail, Themer, SwiftKey and Dolphin).

/* Ritalin kicking in, rant begins

Because of stability issues and - in part - warranty issues. Unlocking bootloader voids your warranty with Sony. Now, I'm not quite sure that Sony would get away with that in Denmark as the laws to protect the consumer here are very extensive.

I have been running CM on my Galaxy SII I9100, and ROMS based on CM - but even though those ROMS were very well made with a lot of good ideas from the devs, and had a lot of features I liked, they were never quite as stable as stock ROM. Which in turn lacked features and was butt ugly.

Now, I don't know what kind of source material CM team has for C6603, because the devs had trouble with Samsung Exynos, but camera quality often suffers on non-stock ROMs.

Sonys stock ROM is actually quite good with a very low amount of wakelocks, so if I can modify my way out, and still run stock ROM, that is what i'm going to do. It's just a better user experience, with few FC's, better stability etc.

It actually seems to me you have replaced about as much as me more or less - whenever people replace stock launcher, that really modifies the whole look and feel. That I use another calculator doesn't count that much, but launcher thats quite a different thing.

And it's no shame to use other apps than stock, thats what Android is about. Aqua Mail is the best damn mail client for Android, I can't live with Sonys minimalistic version. Or Samsungs. Or HTC's. Or that on my Asus Tablet.

And I have replaced texting app because I want privacy that I can't get with stock app, plus different LED notifications. On I9100 texts longer than 3 texts combined will be converted to MMS. Without reason and with no option to disable. That is just stupid. I don't know if Sony stock texting app is the same way. And by the way, HandCent allows for a lot bigger (less compression) of pictures in MMS. So I made my switch to HandCent like 2 years ago, and when I got my C6603 may 2013, it was only natural for me migrate for me, with backup of settings and messages.

Stock dialer from Sony is very good compared to Samsungs, and the calendar also. I'm looking forward to the upgrade on those points - it seems like they have actually made some useful features plus a nice look.

All that being said: Some day I WILL try CM 4.4 on my C6603 because it really is a nice piece of work.

*/ Rant over
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
Well this is your lucky phone, you can relock the bl, without any trace (backup ta/restore) and thanks to the AOSP project they've got running +the hardware is close to nexus 4, we've got a really great and stable kikat build already.

I love most Sony apps, Walkman, album, Small apps and the Sony skin is just fabulous. I always change launcher though, since all stock launchers I've used have been dull. Best one would probably be lg g2, but it's still nothing compared to apex/nova / Themer.

I'm not sure about wakelocks etc. I'm a stock user with bl unlocked using doom kernel with small tweaks.

Proof would be as simple as providing customization number details. Then others can change their build prop and see if the update comes through.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I checked all the Australian customisation versions via the url that can be used to query Sony's servers after he posted. None of them are showing an updated sw version.

So, either he isn't using the correct sw for his phone/region or is just trying to be funny or clever.

I have a theory about the update:

The Z1 was certified on Dec. 9.

The update was released on Dec. 16.

The Z was certified on Dec. 16.

The update will release on Dec 23.

The SP (maybe T/V/TX) will be certified on Dec 23.

And the update will release on Dec. 30.

And is it possible that SP is not certified but the update will release for it? How was it in the past, on earlier Sony devices?

Come on dude you can't say stuff like that without backing it up.

www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-z/

If you look there you can see that 4.3 is planned for December release. They had removed the release date for the 19th earlier, so I don't think they would have left that in there had they not wanted to release it in December.
[Xperia Z General] nemer12:
clue
[Xperia Z General] XperiaZUser.:
Yes but they kept this at the bottom:

Released version

Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)

2013-06

Next version

Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean)

2013-12

I don't see why they would have removed the 19th as the release date, but kept 2013-12 as the release for 4.3 if they didn't plan on doing so.Surely they would have made it 2014-1 or just left it blank if they didn't consider releasing it this year?

It will come as a normal update, both OTA or using Sony PC Companion or Update Service.

OTA updates depend on the customization and size of it, sometimes the phone informs you that you have an update and tells you need to use PC Companion to install it.
