Good News! There Is A Possibility Of Directly Getting Android 4.3

Sony Just Announced Their Roadmap For 4.3 Upgrade Plan, Though It's Not The Final List...
As Expected, Xperia Z, ZR, And SP Are On The List...
But The Most Exciting Part For Us (T, TX, V Users) Is Here:
"We’re also looking at uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3 – we’ll share more info / deets / timings when we can, so be sure to follow @sonymobileNews for all the latest."

This Is What They Did In 2010 For Xperia x10i, I Owned It That Time, They Just Skipped Android 2.2, And Went Directly From 2.1 To 2.3
Just Wanted To Let You Know
Good Luck, Guys...

Don't hold your breath just yet, most likely it's going to roll out to T/TX/V next year.

I know it might take a year (If not MORE!!), but it is really worth it, skipping 4.2 in favor of 4.3, that's really nice, at least FINALLY our devices will be on 4.3, not 4.2...
just hope to have a bug-free 4.3, if any comes though :|
we have to wait and see, and as you said, wait a YEAR to see

Sourcecode for 4.3 for the Z, Tablet Z and XZ is online.
I hope devs will get a port of it working on the T series.
I would do it myself but I have 0,0 experience in android

just wait and hope Sony approve us as "legitimate" for 4.3...
thermal controlling is horrible in JB
it decreases the performance a lot
just hope to get 4.3, and a change in thermal throttling policy

i don't believe Sony anymore. They really ****ed us over with the T. Since the Z was released the T died (with updates)
this was my first and last Sony. My next phone will be a Nexus

The Nexus 4 was no where to buy in the Netherlands at that time i bought the Xperia T (bought in the week of the release).
Still hoping for a good working version of cm10.1 / 2 for the T but got a feeling that's not gonna happen.
So hopefully next year there's a new nexus phone that i can buy in the Netherlands/

Android 4.3 will be my last Android experience, will move to iOS, games are much better, at least they are STANDARD for just ONE device, not an entry-level to high-end...

totally agree, they are gonna make the same mistake
but, honestly, you wouldn't see A BIT of lag when you play iOS games, but here in android, FORCE CLOSE is the least thing which you would expect!
i'm not a noob, actually not THAT noob, but android is nowhere compared to the STANDARD of iOS...
anyway, tastes are different, maybe for some android is the best....
and i have to admit that currently i have just an android phone

The only thing that keeps me on Android is the app Poweramp. As far as I've noted there's none like it on IOS. I'm not sure if the developer will do one for IOS. If so, i'll move asap.

It is brilliant, so brilliant that I moved to this from my Nexus 4. Sony UI is something I can live with for a very long time due to everything being minimalistic and close to stock but better than stock in every way. If I wanted better development I would move back to Nexus 4 in a heart beat but I don't think I will ever go back to Nexus.

I agree
Its so bad that this device hasnt got the attention it deserves. I have pm krabbapel and he said he was going to make his carbon rom in the future, and doomlord said he didnt have the device so he wont be developing for it

FXP are already developing an CM rom for the ZR so this is a good start

I do agree even though SONY has its flagship Z1 Z and Z ultra, this is the sleeping giant workhorse that they need to highlight.

Same here, I came from a Galaxy Nexus (Nexus S, Nexus One, and HTC G1 before that) and although I prefer stock Android, it lacks so many features. I found Sony's UI clean and refreshing without trying too hard. I haven't found a need to root this baby yet. My ZR on 4.1 does way more than my GNexus on 4.3 (minus the root features of course) out of the box. The small apps and killer camera are the icing on the cake. With that said, I like Sony's design and UI that I'm willing to upgrade my nexus 7 to an Xperia Tablet Z in the near future.

It might be a long shot, but it was successfully done with the Oppo find 5 and the Faux Kernal...(I think!)
What they did was organise a donation fund to get Faux the phone...after that he was happy to develop his kernal for the phone.
Perhaps you could give Doomlord a poke to see if he would be willing to accept such a thing and then ask the ZR community to take part? (Or maybe ask the ZR people first to see if they would do it...then see if Doomlord would accept...)
Random idea, could work...

xperia sp forum members donated funds to doomlord, and he developed for xSP maybe you could ask him first if he's on to the idea

+1.
Nice idea for our future.

I remember DoomLord replied that he probably won't be developing for XZR since he doesn't own the device.
Not sure if donation can help that though...

with such good specs at a low price i dont get why this is a low activity device...:crying:

yeah.. i think we can blame sony itself for this problem... I really like the ZR and I have it now.. been so satisfied with it... but, yeah, too few development.. and it will get only worst because sony will be launching the z1 mini.. which is really comparable to the zr... sony is trying to follow samsung - flooding the market with too many models that are closely similar to one another..
if someone heads up a donation box for Doomlord for him to buy the zr, I would gladly donate 50 dollars...

its not available everywhere, if this continues (very few users and low development) the device will end up like the acro S look at the Acro S forums+ the fact that almost no RC or RD or RT are present in XZR forum makes it more likely that development will die after fxp supports ends

there's 4 page development on Acro S! It's not much but still for a phone that expensive yet doesn't seem to have any great hardware it's quite much developments!
but for this phone that runs smoothly and better comparing to Xperia Z, ZL and has less size and less resolution (about 1/4 times which makes battery run double times) and less mass I think this device get fairly low attention comparing to others!! even for a developer this one must be much more exciting than Xperia Z!

sort of, however, sony priced the zr as if a flagship. truth to be told, it's marketed as a flagship in japan (xperia a), and it's no slug. still, with the relatively small price difference between z and zr, it's easy to see why people will get the z instead. the z is also released 6 month earlier.
besides, zr isn't released in as many markets as z.
as i've said before, since zr shares much with z, as long as development for z is there, zr will likely be supported as well, but without a dedicated dev using zr him/herself, it's hard to picture a very good development environment.
unless sony discount the zr significantly very soon. this is likely to continue.
(before you ask, japanese seem to have their own commnity and aren't participating in xda, so their large nos. mean nothing to us)

Why worry.. as long as there is Z development, we can port almost EVERYTHING to ZR (including ROM's an Kernels)
One more reason is that people who do contribute are not thanked properly I think.

totally agree

well i had a few devices before and now i have htc one s S4, galaxy s4, xperia ZR, iphone 5
before xperia ZR between all of my phone i would stand and say htc one s and iphone 5 have best batteries between my devices, between xperia x8, xperia acro S, Xperia go, xperia V, galaxy S3, iphone 5, galaxy s4, but now i can say ZR beat my one S battery and not only on battery it beats the battery on my one s it beats the performance of S4 it beats the options of all of my previous xperia phones, and when it comes to heat it even beats the hell out of my iphone too it hardly produce any heat in my hands specially compared to xperia V and galaxy s4.
this is an amazing device guys no doubt about it but why were we looking for development in the first place? when we had good hardware and sh**** software with cra*** software support we would come here and look for help, but we still have updates and support and this device is almost (not fully) complete it doesnt need overclock it doesnt need more battery saving options it doesnt need so much bug fixes.
the only thing it need is a better front camera which is impossible with firmware and kernels so most of all a few ports and customizations remains which is not totally important right?
when i first had my xperia acro S it didnt have any custom firmware for a very long time the only thing was available = rooting my device! believe me for a very long time it was like this.
so my advice is to take your time guys relax if something came out use it if not dont be disappointed you wont miss so much you still have a great device with so many good things on it.

This is EXACTLY why I'm still on locked BL! but anyway our device has lack of roms like Cyanogen Mod, AOSP, PAC MAN, AOSPA (Paranoid) and also bug free miui port! (which I like Pranoid and miui so much) I'm currently working on a port for miui (stock based one) but this is something hard to get! currently I'm getting bootloop at kernel and as I don't want to unlock my bootloader (I love BE2 ) it's really hard to get it booting, and I'm not sure if any developer wants to contribute or if I get any further than this but I'm trying to make it bookable at least
EDIT: good news is I just saw the miui boot screen, bad news is it's not more than 2 sec and still I don't have adb
EDIT: Do you guys have made or downloaded any rom based on stock 4.2.2? would you mind give me updater-script in your zip file /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Thanks
EDIT: another good news is, got logcat ( have permission problems ) it would be great if anyone can give me an updater-script from downloaded or made stock rom (both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 are welcome) please pm me

It's shadowed by Z and ZL previously, and then Z Ultra and Z1 released not too long after ZR, plus ZR is released only in specific regions... so........ it's not standing out to the devs.

Weird. Its a better phone than the z/zl but the z/zl gets all the attention
Sent from my Xperia Acro S using xda app-developers app

it's only "better" because it uses the same hardware but a lower resolution so it doesn't have to power such a big screen and thus the overall speed is faster... it does not make it "better"...
the Z/ZL were released in April while ZR only started selling around mid-June.
also, they are available worldwide, and the Z is the first flagship of 2013 so naturally it will get the most attention, unlike the ZR which is only available in like... idk 15 countries? maybe less...
so unless there happens to be a dev who happens to have a ZR who happens to want to make custom roms for you and i to use for free, we won't be seeing much activity around here. just live with it... or get a Z/Z1/ZL... if you want custom roms i suggest u try CM... afterall most other custom roms are based on them anyway...

Xperia T KitKat: it will come?

Hey guys, I dis a little research in the web but found nothing concrete about the KitKat update for the Xperia T. I would like to know what has been decided for this good device.

No news yet...
...and official firmware support has ended on April (18 months from the release of the device).
From my point of view, we can only hope in a last version for JB 4.3

Becuase I am a little frustrated. Maybe its because I expected more and you are correct I was a bit sarcastic for which I apologize.
Still I have Sony camera and I appreciate all they do and its good that they are strong now, they diversify the market.
Lets hope that they will keep with our highest expectations and provide at least one more build - stable 4.3 or 4.4.

I'd be surprised if there are any further updates to 4.3. I doubt 4.4 will make it to the T in official form.
As for buggy? I haven't had a single problem with mine since upgrading to 4.3
All this bull**** about I want 4.4 NOW nad Sony suck because they're not supporting the phone for ever, just shows some people to be acting like spoilt children.

What I think he meant is that it's not a bug if it only happens to you. That fact that your phone isn't working for you isn't necessarily the case for everyone. The only problem I've had with my phone is all the bloatware it comes with, and the white settings; both of which can be fixed easily.

According to your logic and, for example, if you just using the phone for calling and messaging, the firmware for you is good . But I believe the phone should be fully functioning because everybody has different needs

And that was exactly my point. If the phone is fully functional for others and not for you, doesn't make it a bug, it just means that whatever you are using under your specific circumstances is not working for you. It's not about people's needs, it's about the phone working as the developers expected it to.
For instance, I've heard people complain about the microphone picking up the sound of the camera focusing while recording. If that is how the developers intended it to work, then it's not a bug, regardless of whether it interferes with the black and white silent movies they are trying to produce.

With that logic we can come to the conclusion if something is not working, it is just "specific circumstances" .Bytheway, this bug somewhere I read was fixed for other phones . And also I am not alone complaining about the bugs, ok, according to you "specific circumstances". But I will not get into the further discussions

No, because if nobody can make a phone call, then it's not "specific circumstances"; if you're the only one that can't make a call, there must be some circumstance preventing you from doing so. You really don't know much about logic.

I don't think it comes for xperia t any other series which came with xperia t.

I recently stumbled upon this news
http://motoringcrunch.com/news/sony-xperia-getting-exclusive-kitkat-4-4-3-features/10018672/
Sony website still says 'under investigation' but there still might be hope for us T, TX and V users yet.

I doubt that they are actually still investigating if our devices are compatible with KitKat. More likely, they are already working on the new firmware and dont want anyone to know because then they would get thousands of messages about ETA and that stuff.
Sony cant just leave us alone with a more or less working 4.3 as the last update.

In Japan they have this law that they can only keep a appliance, gadgets or cars for a certain period of time and if they want it to keep it for a longer time they have to pay a higher tax. Maybe Sony apply that principle of this law to our devices

Xperia Z3-like theme/launcher

im wondering if an app/theme is already available to customize the sony ui of xperia z2 to match the new sony ui of xperia z3. if there is, where can i find it? and how to apply? thanks

What new UI?

There's no new UI.
Same old Xperia UI.
Sony will (probably) wait next big Android version to change it.
And that will, most likely be Xperia Z4 powered by Android L.

Then buddy you are wrong. Z3 rom is way better than z2 rom. Its smoother and looks nicer too. And z3 has better apps. Blah Blah Blah ok Heres the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...r-freedom-z2-l50t-mobile-eye-effects-t2874676
Please keep in mind this rom is in Chinese. The guy on the post will translate the Chinese words for yo. Ask me if you needs help. Seriously you will have to ask me for help. Cos Its confusing.

This is not a Z3 ROM. It's based on .314 KK 4.4.2. It just has the apps and launcher of the 4.4.4 Z3 ROM...
I have to admit that it looks nice...

Not just it's not Z3 ROM - it's work full of half true info. (Z3 camera or DSEE sound processing for example)
I won't go into details, who likes that ROM - there's a link
Also, there's no such thing like Z3 ROMs on Z2, there are ports but even then that's not Z3 ROM.
Base can't be from anything else but Z2.
You can't use kernel or files that aren't ported and built for specific device...

Hehe lets say it is half rom
It's certainly a ROM, what I wanna say is - that's still Z2 ROM only with Z3 apps.
Same thing Niaboc did few years ago for Xperia S.
He modified UI to look like Honami style and he ported apps to work on XS.
The thing is that this ROM claims it has Z3 camera bur nope. There's only camera UI from Z3.
Also, they are claiming they added DSEE - not true as well.
Sony released sources today or yesterday and, there's still no working DSEE port.
Maybe we won't get that at all, apparently, there are hardware limitations.
Or precisely, Sony added hardware converter and there's no way to reproduce that.
I said APARANTLY - that's not confirmed yet.
But if you find that ROM is good for you then who cares what I'm talking about..
Most important is that you like it
