Dear Community,
I know from your guidelines that starting threads or requesting updates on certain subjects is strictly prohibited but still I feel it necessary to ask
you that exact question (even if there's a ban only moment away..) because I don't like to be kept out in the dark and would like
someone from the development team to update their daily updates and how their work is progressing so that we who are
eager enough to get started may rest in piece instead of staying awake all night long looking for updates.
Remove thread, warn or ban.. I just need an answer to all this!

Jelly bean in my eyes is just the same thing as ICS except the title has changed it's moved up 0.1 decimal and a lot of fixes. The UI should be the same as well. I also don't see anyone going to port it anytime soon because first of all we don't have full working ICS.
Second a lot of the roms we are using today and the kernels still have them bugs. And i'm pretty sure no one will bother porting it to x8 since it's 2 years old it's dieing out and there are new phones just a tiny bit more expensive then x8 that are 10x stronger e.g.nexus s. I love sony and all but they are a company whom which likes to start new projects and never work and update their old ones. Updating your phones you manufacture makes a good company oh and good customer service which sony already has
I think you have to wait for that one, or start making it yourself, but if you dont want to, just wait... meanwhile use another rom, there are great ones at the moment, and they are a vast improvement of what eclair was in the first place...

I have run several ROMs such as GingerXperia (V14 - V23 - rV3) including 4.0.4 ICS which will do for now..:silly:
More like a rage, than a question, but... why is there no one trying to port 4.2.2 for ours x8?
Many lower spec phones have a port, wich to be fair, do have bugs, but at least have it. What happened to the x8 dev scene? Many thanks to nAa for keeping x8 alive, but is there no one else that can scratch the surface of 4.2.2? Plus with the .32 kernel aren't things supposed to be fair easily in porting?
I see nAa wrote 4.1.0 is coming, but... i sure would want 4.2.2 for my baby

This is a developer forum, if you want it, try to make it, if you can't, then don't complain about it.
Go back to eclair if you are not satisfied with the development so far.

I must admit that I am working on that but I'd prefer you to be patient in this area
For experience of 4.2.2 we need many requirements, ex:
unlocked BL
A new kernel (for bugless roms)
Enough knowledge for cooking kernel(we need to partition internal memory{for heavy 4.2.2} which was not necessary on gb)
Jtag tools (cooking kernel is a sensitive progress & hard bricks is so regular)
& just some developers have the knowledge & tools for cooking
#& I'm pretty sure if a recognized developer cook that kernel there will be a lot of roms for working on it

naa himself said that he is working to release android version 4.x for our device..
so it's possible that we might get 4.2..
Well I must say I'm surprised that they've got it working on such a POS phone..
I don't think the experience would be up to much though with so little ram and microsoft's (LG) cheapo hardware ideology..

Judging from changelog, development seems a tad easier over the fence. Kernel version is up to 2.6.35.
Did anyone tried this ROM, how is the performance? Wi-Fi and Bluetooth works?
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda premium
Seriously, anyone?
It's quite OK. But sound was broken, so it's unusable as a daily driver.
Hmm, planning to get a Xperia T because the CM support, is worth it?
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda premium
why you not simply take a look into the dev section?
this will answer all your questions
we have
- a nice miui v5
- official omni rom support (already daily usable kitkat 4.4)
- many nice stock sony ui roms
and we will get official sony jb4.3 in december....and MAYBE 4.4....sony confirmed they will test official kitkat on XT.
just look around....from my feeling i wouldnt count so much on cm...i read about many many nightlies had broken stuff (kernel etc.)
but maybe a cm user can tell you more clear details about cm

Better get a XZ, it's newer and I've seen it new for 333€...
I don't really like the stock ROMs because of the apps pre-installed, I like the stability but it has a lot of applications that I don't use. Cyanogenmod has a lot of great apps that comes with like Apollo. And I like the stock Google style, really nice, specially KitKat.
The Omnirom seems nice, gotta flash someday.
And I don't have enough budget to afford a ZX. Got a Xperia Sola, so the T is like a better version of it for me.
That's my opinion, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

I can't afford a Z1. And I don't need such a monster telephone, I just call, send SMS, install apps, sometimes flashing and app development.
The T is the most accessible for me and it cover all my needs. I asked if the CM11 worked in this phone before buying it.

Yep I recommended this to my friend. Much newer device. Tiny bit bulkier than the T but with many new stuff like default transparent nav bars and also an interesting LED light at the bottom. And of course as mentioned, longer, better support. If you can save up a few more bucks.. the Z/ZR would be the choice.
And regarding your original question, for the T, CM from FXP isn't doing so well. Major bug reports.

No sync with FXP247
Hi,
anybody also has the problem that syncing does not work wit CM11 FXP247? I don't get my contacts, also google maps is not working, no maps are loaded...!?
I like the T : it's camera is very useful thanx to the 13 MP, and it has already lots of internal memory. Besides, they are roughly the same from the configuration.
As there's not really an update planned for "old" phones like the T, I updated it, and as of today I'm on Kitkat, a custom made Omnirom. I had already the CM 10.1.3 stable and was yesterday quite frustrated with the bad built of 10.2 RC1.. And as I have the same bug in two different CM versions, I didn't want to try out another for the moment.

Please help me decide between 2 ROMS
I can´t decide between iHackers(minimal) and RomAur.
What i want is clean ROM with good battery life.
Can users of there ROMs write here pros and cons.
Thank you so much
No one can do that, its like asking for the best flavour pizza, it is an individual choice.
try them both for a week and see which one YOU like best
Ya i know but i would like to hear something from users....

It's new on the market, give xda some time.
Sony phones have less ROMs than other OEM's phones. Stock ROMs here are very stable and less buggy than those of other manufacturers.
Plus, the camera issues with unlocked bootloaders aren't helping any.
Don't worry, with some time, we'll get good ROMs too. Just have a look at the Xperia Z forum.

Monxified is cleaner (maybe too clean lol) and I like the power menu so i stayed with that.
Hi, Can anyone port L developer preview for our phone Sony Xperia T??? Would be greatly appreciated!!
I think it's extremely difficult to do so. But of course I'd be as well very glad if we'd see a port of this for Xperia V. :good:
Problem is one most likely has to modify a lot of the kernel stuff.. The Nexus devices are all pretty similar in that point, yet still it took several weeks for a Nexus 4 port to appear.
(By the way, if one tries to port it, I recommend Nexus 4 preview port as a base, cause the resolution difference is not that big.
Haha, you're funny.
I don't think we wil get a good working custom rom for it.

Actually, noone was asking about custom roms. Thats a matter of the future (despite I am quite confident we will see a stable CM12)
So if youre not a dev willing to try and port it, stop being that pessimistic. Our devices aren't dead yet!

I guess someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
There will not be a dev L for the T and i doubt that someone will port it. Kitkat roms have still many bugs. (the blue flickering is still not 100% gone). So L will have more problems to, because a lack of drivers.
I'm not a pessimist but a realist. The T is dying (not that it ever was a live).
I have a T and i'm glad that i can get a new one in a few months.

The T is dying, yes, that's why I'm moving to a Xiomi Mi3, but this device can go on for almost two years more, I'm sure, it's a great phone with a pretty decent dev community behind

"Kitkat roms have still many bugs. (the blue flickering is still not 100% gone)."
That's one bug dude...and I've never come across it through all my experience with OmniROM. I've been following OmniROM development since the start, and after the flickerings were "fixed" by Lalit I've never come across them again. Plus, after the switch to the 4.3 kernel was made, there have been virtually zero bugs in OmniROM, and best of all, no reboots.
You say you're not a pessimist, but you're clearly being one. If the T was able to get Kitkat development going with drivers from Android 4.1, then I'm pretty sure someone will make an Android L ROM using drivers from 4.3. That is, as long as there still are devs for our device, which there definitely are. I'm still pretty hopeful that this phone has a ways to go yet before it's "dead." Just look at the Xperia Arc. That phone launched with Gingerbread (!) and is getting Kitkat ROMs today! There's no reason why the Xperia T shouldn't last at least as long.
And don't forget that there is still a possibility to get 4.4 drivers, it is small but it is there.
CM will Do it
I hope CM will do the update and the other dev will follow with up date

The blue flickering is NOT gone. I have it multiple times a day. Can't even watch a movie or play a heavy game. Battery life is very bad for me on any 4.4 rom. Get 1and half hour screen time on 12 hours and then i have to charge. Sony stock 4.3 is full of bugs. Even my screen spontaneous broke when charging my phonr (i have never dropped it). So yes i'm very disappointed in the Xperia T.
I bought it when it came out for the full price and Sony pushed the T to the Side when they release the Z. So pardon me that i'm disappointed in the T (and Sony) after paying 500 euro's for it.
And please don't tell me that i have to buy another phone if i don't like it, because money doesn't grow on three's here.
And no i'm not a noob. I know my way with custom roms and kernels

All I'm saying is, you report a lot of problems that virtually no other people experience. Perhaps your T is defective or something dude, because I've never experienced any of the issues you talked about, and I've scarcely heard of others having those same problems either. I've NEVER had blue flickering on OmniROM since it was officially fixed, even while watching movies or playing games. The battery life has been great for me on any ROM, except obviously for when I'm on 3G data, because that hogs battery like a ***** no matter what you do and no matter what phone you're using. I've also never had any bugs on stock 4.3, and definitely no screen-breaking-while-charging incidents.
And there's no problem whatsoever being disappointed with the Xperia T and disliking it, but you should know that there are a lot of us who actually do like this phone and don't experience all the issues you do. You're certainly entitled to your opinion that the T is a piece of garbage and the worst phone you've had, but that doesn't make the rest of us wrong for liking the phone, and feeling optimistic about our chances at Android L.

You should get 2 - 3 hours screen time, depending what you are actually doing. Not playing "heavy" games, likely.

Such kind of text disqualify an entire posting.
I was already thinking about this lately.
Because the Xperia T stock ROM was slow for me I looked for alternatives and found OMNIRom.
OMNIRom works fast and smooth. It is stable and NEVER rebooted or crashed since I use it. So i have faith in that community and lets wait several months and will see the direction and the possibility of Andorid L custom ROMs.
Still the more we use the same hardware the better for the environment. I am concerned about the scarcity of resources and the carbon emissions we cause by those number of devices produced per year. So much better to use the device full cycle before getting a new one...
