Sony Ericsson’s new Gingerbread UXP

We were sent a screen capture of Sony Ericsson’s new Gingerbread UXP (the UX platform is the strategic framework for the core of Sony Ericsson’s portfolio) over the weekend. Interestingly the picture has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, the same as the rumoured Sony Ericsson Nozomi – further evidence that this 2012 flagship will launch with Android Gingerbread.
The single image itself doesn’t give too much away. It shows the Android home screen using a new font for the clock widget. The small rectangles at the top of the screen on current firmware, showing which of the five home screens you are on, have been replaced by circles. Also the border around the four sticky icons at the bottom has been removed. The UI also matches that seen on the leaked Nozomi images from earlier today.
It is therefore looking more and more likely that Sony Ericsson has redesigned some elements of its Android Gingerbread firmware and that this will launch prior to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update in H1 2012. We reported on new eDream6 firmware over the weekend. At the time we were wondering what had happened to eDream5, so maybe this is it? Given the date on the image below, could this new firmware be rolling out as soon as early January (along with a Nozomi release)? It shouldn’t be as farfetched as it sounds given all of the recent evidence.

Personally I see them going from early 00's tacky imitation shiny glowing 3D mess to refined, clean shiny glowy not-bad-....ness.... That made far more sense in my head.

I don't think Nozomi will launch with Gingerbread. 2011 Xperia phones are expected to get ICS before the 2012 flagship launch (which is estimated to be announced officially @ MWC in February and be launched a month or two afterwards).
So this doesn't make sense to me.
And I am fairly certain that they clearly stated they've been working on ICS since Google released the source code, so who cares about GB anymore?

sony certified another FW
Code:
A 4.0.2.A.0.61 ECO Dec 12, 2011
it's slight change ? what it could be ???

It'll be a localized 2.3 update probably, ics will be 6.0.xxxxxx

I fail to see the "new UI" here.
But yeah, I expect something close to the leaked Honami screens.

Now show me that on the image the OP posted... The app drawer icon and wallpaper are Z one, but what else is new? You can see the battery icon is still horizontal, not vertical, so it isn't the new UI. And obviously the Z will get the new UI...

yes, I know that there are differences in the Honami UI, but that's not a given fact from only the screenshot that OP posted...
there's no evidence for the new UI, so we cannot say that 4.3 will come with those changes..

I know is only natural for the Z to get Honami look and feel if that's the direction is going to, but any official claim for this?

Yes they didn't say that XZ & Tablet Z will get Honami UI on 4.3 update
But they posted that photo,that's mean they will get the new UI on 4.3 update,if not why they change the Xperia Z & Tablet Z screen to Honami screen?

Thanks to DoomLord for the system dump.

Amazing work bro!

Nice work!! what about the sony select widget?

Thread updated with new apps and keyboard!

Thanks for the port, I think there is smily layout problem, some of them not appeared in the list but then no probs, they are still there

Hey sorry to mess your post, but I had a little bug with layout in Simple Home in Xperia U:
Only this, other applications are working correctly!

What's the keyboard update? I see there are some swiftkey and framework files added... So, is there any noticeable difference from 6.2.A or just some "under the hood" changes?

hmm i can install them successfully, however when i open the apps it says "unfortunately, Socialife news has stopped" etc
and how do i uninstall the z2 keyboard?

The thread you are referring is just one of my settings.apk slightly modded.
All smart settings (calling, backlight,...) are using a coprocessor who is only present since Qualcomm 800 soc.
I know what I am saying, for reference do some search on Sony for developing website, they talked about that

Xperia Z3, Z3 compact and Z3 Tablet are getting Android 5.1.1
Sony announced in last month that they will rollout the Android 5.1.1 update in this month. We also have written in previous articles that Sony start the rollout of Android 5.1.1 in this week. Now Sony officially started the rollout Android 5.1.1 to Xperia Z3 series. Currntly Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact are receiving the update with version number 23.4.A.0.546. But the rollout is currently confined to Baltics and Middle East only. The carrier editions in Nordics are also receiving the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update.
In Italy, only Z3 Tablet compact is receiving the Android 5.1.1 update. So in Europe also Sony may start the rollout at full level soon. In the US and UK countries also, Sony Mobile will start the rollout of Android 5.1.1 to Xperia Z3, Z3 Compact and Z3 Tablet soon.
According to the official changelog of this update from Sony, there are many bug fixes along with improvements are present in this update. App crash, Phone restart bugs have solved in this update. Battery drain and over heating bugs are also solved in this update. API level increased to 22 in Android 5.1.1. The HD voice calling and Device protection features are exclusive features of this update. With HD voice calling, users can talk in calls with HD quality over supported carriers. With device protection feature, others cannot erase or factory reset the device with out the Google account of users. Silent mode also returned in this Android 5.1.1. Volume controls are also improved and notification alerts control much simplified with new simple and sleeker design.
Sony integrated LinkedIn with Calender and Contacts in this update. Camera also improved in this update. The speed, quality and accuracy of the camera are improved in superior auto mode. Some new features have been added for Xperia devices to give more support for Business. After updating to Android 5.1.1, users can take pictures from the camera of the device from the Sony smart watch using SW3 as a remote shatter button. Sony introduced Instant calender event feature in this update. Now users can create an event in Calender directly from email and there is no need to switch between apps. Xperia themes also improved in Android 5.1.1 update. They got richer and better look than previous ones. Settings menu also revamped to provide simple and user friendly menu for users. New options for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have been added in Notification toggles. So now users can have more control over Wi-Fi and bluetooth directly from the home screen without going into the Settings menu.

I haven't get it yet. Is it ota or through pcc?
