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:
Are the sense roms get the android 4.3? schedules?
I'm curious as well: will the sense 5.0 based roms get the android 4.3 backend? Or are there incompatibilities (framework changes?), and we will have to wait for an official sense ~5.1 from HTC before we see Sense w/ 4.3 based roms?
Thanks!

no info at all yet unfortunately. It may take a while though
dont hold your breath
I'd rather it skip 4.3 and go to the next big update with an updated sense overlay. 4.3 is mostly just a bunch of under the hood stuff and nothing major.

+1 , Knowing how long they can take to do these updates, I'd rather they skipped this one and put effort into the next major release
Low power Bluetooth support
If you use bluetooth alot and have a new gen low power bluetooth device, 4.3 is a major update, if not, skip it.

I think I'm addicted to flashing ROMS. I've flashed just about everyone I can find for my T. Even when I get settled with a ROM I truly like (Hybrid/ CM 10.2) I think to myself 'oooh, I'll just try that one with a different kernel on the off chance I can get 4 minutes more battery and a speed increase that can't be registered with the human eye.'
I'm now checking XDA more than I check Facebook on the off chance that some genius like @tilal6991 has posted a semi-stable 4.4 build.
I only rooted/ unlocked bootloader 4 weeks ago. I feel I've come a long way!

Enviado desde mi LT30p mediante Tapatalk
A test build of 4.4 has been posted by Thomas on his OmniROM thread - it does have a couple of showstopper bugs like calls not going out and screen flashing everytime you select something (there's a hack around this) as well as broken GPS. It is out there though.

Flash addiction is a difficult to cure disease. Welcome to our sick club x)
Thank you! It is nice to know I'm not alone. I'm quite certain that I'll be buying my next phone purely on how many roms/kernels are available for it.
I had the same problem with my Xperia Arc. Pretty annoying sometimes when my phone didn't work properly when i needed it hha. But it was fun.
Weird thing is that i don't feel the need to do the same with this phone, i feel like the last jb firmware Works perfect and i don't have the need to mess with it. I rooted this phone a few months ago but it resulted in a performance decrease. So i.haven't felt the need to root again since then.

hahhahahah...so true! I love your message!
i used to be exactly the same i have calmed down a lot now i used to flash a rom at least once a day even if it was one i had used a couple of days ago just to see the difference the rom i am currently using makes if any or i would grow tireless knowing i have the ability to flash new roms but was not doing so .... i bricked a few galaxy ace's in the early days when i didn't know what i was doing and thought i could skip steps etc but once i knew what i was doing there was no stopping me i became that addicted i was flashing my friends phones with different roms too .... i have calmed down a lot now flashing only 3 - 4 times a week instead of the 7 - 100000000000000000's of times a week
(100000000000000000's is not literal but just a way of expressing countless amounts of times)
i think i have had almost all JB roms running on my T at least twice now i flick between omni, honami v5, and keep trying the 4.3 version of pacman from buildbasket waiting for a stable release .... honami is my daily because i get to use doomkernel and OC and its got enough tweaks in it to make me feel like im not stuck on boring stock rom lol for me im always looking for functions and OC and unfortunatly unless you ar on stock OC just isnt there .... sure on one of the AOKP projects you can OC to 1.7 but thats a whole 0.2 less than on a stock with doomkernel might not sound like much but it can make a difference also doomkernel comes with governors that are tweaked for dual core again something that is missing from CM AOKP etc ....... hopefully omni will resolve this issue for me and i can spread my wings a little once they have a few more settings and OC / governors are fixed up
I think I've flashed every ROM on XDA at least three times. Just in case I was missing something. The odd thing is that almost every time I flash a new ROM, I think it's better than the previous one. Which is mental. I must have flashed Rimmer's MIUI ROM 6 times. Every time I flash it I love it because it's beautiful. Then 12 hours later I get annoyed at having all the apps on the homescreen as I like it to be minimal, so I flash another ROM.
Two days later I flash it back because it's beautiful. And on and on.
*sigh*
Normally I use either peetr_'s Hybrid ROM with Doomkernel, or CM 10.2. I find Hybrid with the kernel OC is snappier, I find CM 10.2 to be smoother. These are the two I return to on a regular basis. I always feel like I'm cheating on them, both with each other and with any of the other ROMs. Again, this is mental!
Very excited for when the T gets 4.3 and we get a kernel that can be OC!
Also, I like the XDA community. Every seems nice and chilled. Generally.

im not always nice and chilled i get annoyed at noobs who ask things that have been answered hundreds of times or state something as a fact when the rest of the world know it is something completely different but i try to keep a lid on it although im sure it hasnt gone unnoticed when i have let off the steam lol .... MIUI is a really tasty rom and is real nice but i feel like i am back on iOS too much with it ... all the greatness of android with all the rubbish of iOS lol and if you install another launcher it just isn't the same the launcher was designed for that rom so why put a new one on there when there are lots of other roms to try ..... i love the honami rom like all roms it has its limits and its bugs and its by far not the quickest one out there but it serves most of my needs out the box i just wish somebody would fix up pacman rom on 4.3 had repeated problems with it not restarting instead going into bootloop after installing roms .... i will openly admit i don't know everything as i can not build my own rom i wish i knew how as i would gladly take on building pacman rom 4.3 .... anyway enjoy your T flash until you discover that magic rom .... it might even be 4.4 once they have that up and running smoothly .... once omni gets its features that will almost certainly become my daily but its just a little basic for my needs at the current time lol .... if i can help out in any ways just give me a shout i might be able to help if not im sure somebody else will be able to between the who communities collective there is a vast amount of knowledge to be tapped into

I had this impression regarding Greenify, especially since the auto-greenify feature is implemented. I can't imagine that rooting would slow down the phone.
Actually my V's stock ROM is a very good compromise in between performance, stability and fluid use. The 4.12 is rock solid and virtually lag free on my device. Well I flashed Honami Experience, but that is stock based.
Yes, it is very hard to resist this addiction ..I even infected my GF. She have Galaxy mini (terrible display) with CM10.1 some mods ..still better than stock sammy ROM.
Before Xperia T I have ACE 2 and I hated that lack of ROMs on this phone. So , after 5 months with this phone i bought T. and now I am in paradise .
Almost every day a CM or Miui update and now i flashed OmniROM from Tilal.. What a great feeling with 4.4.
Thanks OP for this Rom, made me smile
In truth, I have gone completely the other way, I used to be a flashaholic and flash new roms daily, it started with the X10 and i then bought an Xperia T off the shelf just so I could unlock the B/L - having played with everything there is to offer on here for the last year I finally trailed off flashing and the other day I flash an official stock Rom and re-locked my bootloader so as to get official 4.3 through SEUS or PCC

I know, right? This is the very first phone I own that hasn't been flashed or rooted even. For the very first time, I haven't felt the need. Actually, that's saying something for Sony. Kudos to them!

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.
Sent from my Xperia T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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...
Anyone not liking Lollipop or not impressed with the first releases of L for our M7 devices? I see plenty who are praising the product. I myself really like the sleak Material design, but it might be my imagination but L doesn't seem quite as smooth as 4.4.2 and a few apps hang up here and there, the capacitive key light is a problem (as we all know).
Just wondered if anyone else has gone back to KitkKat, whether that be aosp, gpe or Sense and for what reason?
Is this post breaks the rules, feel free to lock.

I too am enjoying the material design 'overhaul' and to be honest have been spending so long with 'feature rich' ROMs it's nice to go back to the basics. I'm missing some of my favourite staples like the traffic monitor and lock screen targets but overall I'm really enjoying Lolipop.
Features I'm loving:
- Location based security
- Built in 'quiet hours'
- Built in battery analysis
- Recent apps overhaul (just now getting used to not closing all open apps)

I have long ago gone back to 4.4.4. Not only am I not a fan of the new temp Material remake but the issues with over all volume decrease and other issues are not worth it. Not to mention the really stupid in call screen. Not sure what they were thinking there.
Did you go back to stock GPE Zelendel?
Glad to hear there are a few not happy with L.

No I went back to DU as it was my daily driver. Gpe is to bland for me with not enough options.
Also went back from lollipop to Sense 4.4.3
I prefer Sense UI and I'm not a huge fan of the new lollipop design. Some changes are great and some others I don't like at all.
Xposed framework incompatibility with ART is probably the main reason why I reverted back to Kitkat.

That may be a lasting issue. From some to not I have heard he is hardly working on it and is not really motivated to finish it as the direction Google is going is locking the system down for things like xposed.
I used Lollipop for few days because I had that mute call bug and only thing I liked is recent apps. Everything else is just not to my liking. I was so happy when I found out about mute call fix zip ?
I wonder if Lollipop roms will be less customisable than previous google releases?
Yeah I can see me switching back to KK at some point. We can always have the Material look with a theme engine. I miss the customisation that comes with KK and even Jellybean roms.

Many are working on bringing the features to 5.0. Some are doing it wrong and just trying to port them over instead of redoing them to work properly but the features are coming. I wouldnt want to rush it mainly with google pushing so many updates on a daily basis. I mean we are already up to what 5.0.2r7 with 5.1 rumored to be out next month. The material design is just like the whole Holo deal. IT will pass. Google is even changing the color pallet after many complaints. So That is not a big deal really. Well unless your an app developer that made your app in the material design then come 6.0 or 7 they will have to redo it again to match what ever google decides to do then.

It is Dirty unicorns, I also use Slim. I did use AICP for a while but have moved away from roms that use CM as a base.
Thanks for the info, I better be careful this doesn't turn into a roms comparison thread!
I am sure Lollipop roms will get better and better once devs get their heads around the software, start adding features. I am sure it's a very small percentage of phone users who even have 5.0 on their phones, a good portion are probably still Jellybean.
Myself, going back to a KK rom for now until the L roms mature a little more.
Anyone finding the aosp (inc cm) Lollipop roms better than GPE for stability, battery longevity etc?
I myself am liking the taste of the lollipop myself, tastes like strawberries runs much smoother than KK, battery life is great, all my apps are working, no faults with it what so ever.
The few issues I think many people are having with it and a lot seem to be complaining about, is HTC themselves haven't listened to anyone, the issues are with sense that HTC bang on top of Google's Android, the widgets are still to small and don't come right down, however there is a mod to fix this, cant stand the ugly white and black background on the clock and weather widget, im using Chronus for my clock and weather at the moment, I do miss xposed but not enough to revert back, there are for now alternatives for what I used xposed for, they just take a bit of hunting down.
The sense version of Lollipop is still a baby at the moment and Dev's are working on their apps already for Lollipop including xposed, it will come.
You have to remember that the ROM which LabFooter posted a few days ago is still very much in beta stage. its a leak and still in testing, any issues found can still be fixed yet.
Anyone else tried Lollipop and gone back to Kitkat or even Jellybean, and why? Just trying to keep the conversation going on this one as it's early days with Lollipop and all that. Figured there are many who like or dislike the operating system.

I did. Lollipop is nice to look at, but IMO it's just that. It's still too buggy for me to use it. Back to good old KK and enjoying every minute

Took the words right out of my mouth, lollipop looks and feels real nice. But the poor functionality due to all the bugs it's just not usable as an every day Rom :good:
Dont' fix if ain't broken.
Besides not so many new functions I could use in Lolipop.
I prefer trustworthy KK over buggy loli.
