Can anyone port the 3d sweep panorama to Xperia play?
I wish...

Yes it would be kind... but it seems no one is interrested in.
It would take having the kernel sources, new library files, and camera.apk. Which Sony Ericsson phone already has it?
Would be cool

Our Camera is **** so I doubt even if we had the 3D Sweep it would not look any good anyway.
Strange that it is listed on SE site as a feature, could be a mistake though.

It's all explained in the Sony Ericsson blog
Global roll out of new software
In late September we announced the rollout of Android 2.3.4 in the Nordic Countries. Today, we’re happy to share the news that the upgrade is starting to roll out all over the rest of the world. Since the Nordic release we have made some additional changes which means that this update is actually new also for the Nordic consumers.
The phones that will get the software update are: Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini, Xperia™ mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ ray, Xperia™ active, Xperia™ neo V, Xperia™ arc S and the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™. The update will be available for all unlocked phones and most operator variants but there will be local deviations. There are also some deviations on feature upgrade depending on phone model. Google Talk video chat will only be available for phones with front facing camera. Xperia™ PLAY will not get 3D panorama sweep but it will get HD video recording and the other goodies below.
The highlights of the update are:
Google Talk with Video Chat for smartphones with front-facing cameras
Updated Facebook inside Xperia™ functionality for enhanced like, share and discover abilities. We have talked about Facebook inside Xperia™ on previous posts.
Xperia™ smartphones introducing world’s first 3D Sweep Panorama functionality powered by Sony.
16x video zoom
The software upgrade will enable consumers to turn their Xperia™ smartphone into a mini-mobile PC by connecting USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard or game controller) to Sony Ericsson LiveDock™ multimedia station. Connect the smartphone to a TV via HDMI to get a big screen experience.
Gesture input – text input by swiping the finger from one letter to the next
WiFi DLNA
Screen capture – allows the user to share a screen grab from anywhere in the phone.
It’s quite a lot to grasp all at once. That’s why we are making next week an Update Marathon, going through one of the features more in depth every day. Stay tuned Meanwhile, you can check out the video from the guys at Developer World.
We’ll try to keep you continuously updated on the kit release. For a complete list of kits released up until now, please check comments below.
I would just like the panorama app to actually work it sucks that my old x10 can do it and that it works on other phones except this thing I hold in my hand kinda pathetic for a brand new phone IMO

Xperia Arc/S, Neo, Active, Mini/Pro with GB 2.3.4 has it. Just the Play not :/ Is Sony trolling us? They told they would maximaly support the Play but no 3D Sweep atrough it has a good camera. (Yea "just 5Mpx" but sometimes a lower res. is better)

The Sony panorama app is way better by leaps and bounds mainly cause it takes just one big picture and not 3 separate pictures and stitches them together, I just bought the app you linked to and it sucks got a refund after 30 seconds

Now what Nextron? I'm waiting for your answer? do you have manual experience on 3d sweep? or just hiding by a over react post?
Seriously, who's in the right mind that prolly test the app w/in 30 secs?
Props to thatsup, for being epic on the discussion..
In Japan the phones Xperia Arc & Acro have received a Playstation cetificate. Maybe rest of the countries get it soon...
See the link below for more details.
http://es.engadget.com/2011/11/10/xperia-acro-y-xperia-arc-reciben-el-sello-playstation-certified/
maybe with the 2.3.5 update
I hope that....
Sony Mobile Japan has just announced two new handsets, the high-end Xperia GX and medium end Xperia SX. The Xperia GX looks like the update to the Xperia arc and we would expect at least this model to launch in the western markets. The Xperia GX was previously using the codename ‘Mint’. The Sony LT29i ‘Hayabusa’ will be the same as the Xperia GX without LTE functionality.
Source Link: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/05/09/xperia-gx-and-xperia-sx-announced-by-sony-mobile-japan/
When I saw Xperia GX, I fall in love!
I've never really liked Xperia s design.
So it looks good that sony has made a different design (something similar Arc)
I want a GX. It looks lush.
Any idea whether it will come to other country except japan? I dont want this to end up like xperia acro
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Xperia GX making me drool haha. it looks a bit like xperia S imo like a mixture of xperia arc and xperia s. but that 13mp cam looks so awesome :> plus the 16gb internal mem
Just in Japan, not comes in Europe yet
Looks good, but on-screen buttons are a no for me...
I love the fact that Xperia GX looks similar to my Arc S
Good news
People talking about the Xperia GX was previously using the codename ‘Mint’.
The Sony LT29i ‘Hayabusa’ will be the same as the Xperia GX without LTE functionality
The Xperia GX dosen't seem to have any Japan specific features like the S does... so there is a chance that the GX will see international release...
Seriously man,
This is just the design what people want!
Xperia GX!
I hope sony Indonesia will sell it..
Even I kno its only a dream T_T

You do realize that all that dual, quad and I don't know what core is just a big piece of crap meant to attract customers, while in reality there is no need at all for such things for now. You can't possibly use such phones to their fullest, mainly because of android limits (single, dual and quad core phones perform almost the same on gingerbread; dual cores perform a bit better than single cores on ICS, though), but also I can't think of an app that would demand such thing. I have a fuqing dual core computer at home and the only thing it's missing is a bit more RAM, so I can't see for what reason would you need a PHONE with QUAD CORE.

Xperia gx is the best looking android till date..buttonless makes it even better..and the snapdragon S4 processor is the best around..Sony have nailed it this time..waiting for the international version.
Great news!!its got micro sd!
the question whether that beast has a microsd or not, was eating me and would be a critical factor for me to consider it as a future phone of mine.
AND IT DOES!

We dont need it. Gingerbread works fine

Just my opinion: I wouldn't jump ship on an OS just because Sony couldn't make it work. I have an XPlay for personal use and a iPhone4 for work. I would gladly go back to my old Eris before making the iPhone my main device. If you're really hurting for something ICS-ish, unlock it and slap on a new ROM.

FSM Sony Ericsson Experia Play
Sony just revealed that remaining 2011 xperia smartphone will get upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 next week, except Xperia PLAY(poor u) in order not to affect gaming performance.
NXT series will get the upgrade in the order of S, P, and then U.
Now, we are happy to confirm that the remaining 2011 smartphones; Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will start to receive their updates starting from next week.
This software upgrade will be Android version 4.0.4 and the good news is that this latest version will also be made available for Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo V users, who received Android 4.0.3 the first time around.
In regards to Xperia PLAY, after extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich – therefore, we will not make the Android 4.0 upgrade available for Xperia PLAY.

Thanks for giving such a great news..
yea.. i saw xperia s running 4.0.4 few days ago..it was damn smooth though..
I was wondering the same question how will Sony fix the gaming problem on ICS for the Xperia play? And there is the answer may it be just for now, no ICS for play until the gaming problem is solved. Great news for my Arc S
is there any particular date for ics to come???
and thnxxxx for the news
bec just had a rom of android 4.0.4 and now only i had put the stock .62 fw for the ics
And Gud news is tat 4.0.4 wil be available for Arc S, Neo V and Ray which got a buggy 4.0.3 update. ;-)
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
Finally! I've been waiting for this for a while now and was jealous of the arc S, which received the ICS update earlier.
I'm hoping for a 'smooth' experience with 4.0.4. Any idea if we'd be getting a newer kernel?

probably this is the decision made by sony and the game vendors
This decision was also verified when we received similar feedback from the developer community; both experienced developers and advanced users, along with game content providers following our ICS beta ROM for unlocked Xperia PLAY smartphones.

previously sony said ICS will still run with the obsolete kernel 2.6.32 in order to release ICS as quickly as possible in January. i just hope after 4-5 months of development they can release a 3.0 kernel in the near future.
we also see xperia s running ICS with 3.0.8 kernel, hope Sony or some skilled developer could port it to xperia arc?
It is rather quick to get a new kernel up and running, but it takes a lot of testing and validation to make it stable and run with the modem, get a good battery performance etc. Quite some effort has been put in to the Sony Ericsson 2.6.32 kernel, to make it as stable and reliable as possible for the 8255 platform, and we do not feel that the user benefit of a new kernel would justify a later release date.

Yes, for the Arc S.

I think if they certify a release for the Arc S then it can include the Arc, and vice-versa.
They should atleast then give us the sources of the final stock ICS kernel...
