That's because we're overexited

You're over-excited. And experienceD.. It's 2 threads.. The other one is about the 2.3.4 update.

Try in the right forum, Xperia Arc Android Development.

NOPE. It looks it isn't true:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/09/08/sony-ericsson-no-decision-has-been-made-to-bring-ice-cream-sandwich-to-xperia-devices/

So it's become ambiguous then?

Pretty sure they will update the new arcS or whatever it is called the same as are Arc's but with the new 1.4ghz chip. That being the only change on paper. I don't think it would be to hard to make it working on are Arc's.
If they don't update LT15i or the new arcS is going look rather bad, especially after the commotion with the xperia x10.

RAM is a worry
I don't want to have 50MB free RAM after upgrade.
And that maybe be a good excuse for SE not to release the upgrade.

That's what I don't understand about se? Don't they think out of the box? Why so little memory? I said this before! I got an android phone for apps and with little memory plus all the new version of android coming out they should have been thinking! But if they didn't want you to buy a new phone they would have put more memory, it's all about the money

CM7 for X10

Why do you think it is taking so long to have a stable version of CM7 for Xperia X10? Its brothers and sisters already have theirs (Neo, Ray, Mini, Mini Pro, Play, etc.)

...
yeah actually there is a second patch for 2011 xperia range and nothing on the X10 f**cking x10 always i have to wait wait wait and wait

Well I suggest helping J "fxp" in helping making a fully stable working version then. That's why there is a delay because it's waiting to be deemed as "fully stable". It will be the same rom as in on here so join the bug hunt and perhaps think about a slughtly more constructive post next time....

Because CM for that device also made by same person & team. Gosh...J and FXP also human. Just give them more time. By the way FXP43 just released. Go try that Rom and report the bug properly if you want this Rom asap.
And btw, we are not allowed to ask for ETA. Stick to the forum rule. Cheers

This rom is great, but the camera app sucks! No 720p, no zoom in/out, no face detection and more stuff from stock GB camera app. Stock camera app looks much better. It Is Possible to replace CM7 FXP camera with stock GB camera app? Rom is really brilliant, fast, stable and smoothly, but this flaw really pisses me off.

quick answer : No.

Maybe because SE support for devs wasn't good enough? I've read that Sony provided libs and stuff for fxp team, which is awesome, but i'm afraid it was mostly for the 2011 ones.

ICS Upgrade

Thought id start this thread to create a bit of build up to the upgrade, im a regular arc user so ive still got another month or so to wait but il feel good if the arc s gets theirs on time, which being the end of march could be any day now. Sony seem to be quiet on this, anyone heard anything?

I'm hoping they release the ICS for arc s by the end of this weekend, the suspense is killing me slowly lol. I check this forum and sony blog post every morning.

As they said late March to early April, that could mean the update would between 15 March and 15 April.

Would love to get an update from SE on the progress for the first phones that are due upgrades.
Clearly feeling a little bit left out now that Samsung are releasing theirs.

Hasn't HTC also updated a device?
Sony is behind - again

I'm very enthusiastic about ICS too but doesn't it mean that we won't have our devices rooted anymore? I've linked tons of apps via Link2SD and my Arc don't have enough space to hold them all.

I'm worried when we will have to upgrade to ICS, AFAIK a lot of apps out there is not yet compatible with ICS, until the developer will upgrade the app.
But I'm also Excited because lots of optimization and features will be available to us, specially that Adreno 205 Driver will be included(I read it somewhere)

I think otherwise. Almost every app I tried is fully compatible with ICS.
Also, Sony has announced the neo L in China and it launches with ICS on board. It uses the same chipset as the arc (MSM8255). Perhaps we could port it when someone gets and uploads the filesystem dump, that is, if the device comes out sooner than the ICS update.

There's nothing on PTCRB yet and updates usually appear on here well in advance of the update actually being pushed. So it could still be weeks away assuming they haven't had any serious issues they need to fix first. It's been 4 weeks since the beta and not a peep from the Sony devs here on XDA which is a shame.

I don't think it will be a problem. I also have an Asus Transformer TF101, and that got ICS a few weeks back, no application compatibility problems, and it's REALLY quick (it was quick before anyway).

yeah i agree, in their blog post they stated "Over the next months we will be keeping you up to date on progress and we will also share video demos of the new software running on 2011 Xperia™ smartphones." it doesnt look good....

Probably see it in April, just my safe guess.
I am really looking forward to being able to force gpu acceleration because I don't like scrolling lag

i hope 2011 xperia can still support jelly bean in the future...

By XDA sure, by sony no. I doubt they will release another major update after this. Look at the X10, got gingerbread update and that was it.

There's 50% chance they will do it and if they do, Jelly Bean will probably be the last major update.

Android 5 Key Lime Pie

It seems that the version 5 KLP of Android will be optimized for older phones too...

its just rumors

If this rumour is true, don't hold your breath for Sony coming back to us.

you apparently forgot about FXP team... these guys can work miracles, too bad I sold my lovely arc s ;(

The rumors, according to the article behind the bold letters , seem to be true. It's logically for Google to optimize Android for cheap (not necessarily old) phones, having in mind that WP8 for example is really smooth on modest hardware.
But, Hell Yeah, I'm afraid you all are right.
Sony will not come back to us. Two years ago, I had an Xperia X8 and Sony stopped the development to 2.1 Eclair, letting all owners without the native possibility to move apps to SD card. They used the same expression: "SONY cannot guarantee a satisfactorily user experience". Useless to say that the geniuses from XDA developed versions far beyond Gingerbread.
But, hope remains always ...
