Google announced android 2.3 .. Is our x10 hardware compatible to host Gingerbread?
Once the bootloader is cracked for sure. But they'll have a hard time making camera drivers and they'll have to wait for Sony to release multi touch and reverse engineer it for 2.3, but everything else will be able to run fine.

xfdisk thinks it "would work on all xperia"...
Editttt, edit
Yes it was released and my oldest son's Motorola Droid on Verizon already has the upgrade installed OTA when he booted up yesterday.
Isn't it grand waiting for SE and AT&T to get their collective heads out of their asses and push an upgrade out that is two revisions and eleven months behind.
Pathetic.
Are you sure about that? The sdk was only released a few days ago

Positive. Check with anyone you know on Verizon.

I didn't think anyone was getting the update yet. I understood nexus users will be getting in in the next few days.
I'd triple check if i were you

Just pried it out of his hands and sw info states 2.2.1. Must be a small 2.2 upgrade. My mistake. Still doesn't provide an excuse for the ridiculous delay w/SE & AT&T.

"One OS that runs everywhere." There you have it, folks! Google intends to meld its Honeycomb tablet wares and Gingerbread smartphone software into one delicious Ice Cream Sandwich. Maybe that's why the "sandwich" bit is in the name?Either way, it'll be a universal OS that runs on everything from teeny tiny Android phones to 10-inch tablets and will intelligently adapt to each form factor with things like a resizable status bar. Some other fancy new additions are being demonstrated right now, including face-tracking and camera focus shifting based on voice recognition.

I dont like the name at all XD lol. but i guess that is good news.. the strange thing is the idea of the universal OS.. it may had diferent configuration for each phone according the specs or difrent values from the ice cream sandwich OS

X10 wont go further than 2.3 and we're bloody luck to get that off Sony. I'd imagine a dev will make a custom rom of this so we shouldn't miss out ;-)

As The Gingerbread Man says, this definitely won't officially be coming to the X10.
You are just being mislead by it being a "universal OS". It's not universal in the sense that any phone currently available will be able to update to Ice Cream Sandwich. It's universal in the sense that it works on both phones AND tablets without having a seperate OS for each.
Whys it say any sized phone..? Lol

It's scalable..
That means it will be able to run on almost any device.
And be able to scale itself to the required device.
By automatically enabling or disabling features, effects, capabilities, ect..
Waiting for my X10
Then it should work for the x10? Right?

Sony ericcson have already stated that the update to 2.3 will be our last OS update and concidering they were going to leave us officially on 2.1. The only way you will see this on your x10 is by a custom rom by our devs, its that simple.

The SDK has been released, will we see this on the SGS2 soon?
If not by Samsung by the rom gurus?

Nope. It's for tablets only, and I doubt anyone can manage to port it to our device.

You mean "could be bothered" to port it. I'm sure that someone _could_, but an OS designed for a tablet on a 4.3" screen would be a bit average.
Wait for the Cyanogen guys to port IceCream Sandwich (Android 4.0?) if/when it turns up. By that time Samsung will have dropped the SGS2 like last weeks spam sandwich and will be pushing the SGS3 instead.
Of course, that won't be until around Christmas sometime I'd be guessing.
God dammit, this is about the 3rd topic on the same thing. SDK does not equal the whole os, google have only put out the source for the gpl bits and a lot of android is apache.
And a 3.0 port wouldn't make much sense on a 4.3inch screen
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
this is the exact reason why Google hasn't made honeycomb open sourced.
Honeycomb is only meant for tablets. Until people learn to accept that it will remain closed. We've already seen android ruined by sub-par OEMs putting android on their **** hardware.
I hope not, honeycomb looks so messy at the moment
There really is no point putting honeycomb on a phone, the optimisations are mainly just for larger screens. If there is something nice in there it normally gets ripped out and cooked into a ROM or app anyway, its just a waste of time doing a full port IMHO.

Just gotta wait about 2~4 months for ice cream sandwich to release and then a bit longer for update. But it's gonna be awesome

Google search is your friend. No need to start a new thread.
Honeycomb is Android 3.+
Ice Cream Sandwich is Android 4.0
2.4 is still Gingerbread. It is a minor branch.
2.0 and 2.1 were both Eclair as well.

Looking at it with Xperia range numbers, the 2.3.4 update is going to be named somthing like:
Code:
[STRIKE]3.1.X.A/C/D/F/G.X.XXX[/STRIKE] 4.0.A/C/E/F/G.X.XXX

2. 4 doesn't exist, you mean to 2.3.4 which is still gingerbread.
Question I have is what will the next android number be? Afterall the tablets have 3.0 so will it carry on from 2.4? Or go to 4?

there were rumors about 2.5 but 3.0 HC "honey comb" took it's place.
All the versions are named alphabetically.

As it's not a major update it will have3.1As opposed to the current3.0
Like I mentioned in the post earlier.
Edit:
It will probably be named 4.0 for the 2.3.4 update on the Xperia's
Thread closed on account of the fact its not x10 related
at all
theres an off topic forum buddy
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.
