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small rectangles at the top of the screen on current firmware, showing which of the five home screens you are on, have been replaced by circles.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

Samsung promises "eligible" devices will get Jelly Bean upgrade

Here is a good news... If this is right then hopes are still alive...
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/24750...evices_will_get_jelly_bean_upgrade/index.html

Well they will give us the 4.1 update .They gave S1 2.1->2.2->2.3. And after that the device was 2 years old to get the 4.0 update !

S2 won't be getting it according to this link:
http://www.appsgeyser.com/163856?
It's either Samsung is being hypocritical or the link is not true because the nexus has less benchmarks scores than S2, yet has jelly bean.

You need to stop reading that blog mate. That blog spread false rumor. Like the sgs2 won't get 4.0.4 while sammobile says we will. Better stick to trusted sources mate.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Even Android 5.0 will be made availaible by samsung for S2.
Phone: XWLPD
Modem: DDLP8
Kernel: Siyah 3.3.2
Theme: ICS Domination + 15 Toggles
Launcher: Apex Launcher

I don't see why not since the phone (if I remember correctly) has comparable/better performance than the Nexus. Plus in places like the US, the S2 has been out for only just under a year. Considering carriers here still sell phones as old as the iPhone 3GS, I'd say the S2 still has some considerable life left and it'd be foolish not to support the phone and its users.
That being said, it may still take a while before the carriers decide to allow their versions of JB onto the S2. I think AT&T just last week released ICS for their S2

Random blog quotes another random blog, neither of which contain a source, but do contain speculation about a possible maybe event that might one day sort of occur in the future? I guess you can't go wrong with a statement like that. Next post: Samsung to announce new phone sometime this year.

+1, Just because it says it will have an update, well it means nothing. Could be next year ...... Could be next week.I wouldn't get excited about it just yet lol.

I have tested leaked 4.1.1 on my p3100
tested for few hours and reverted to cm9
stock rom uses 100MB more ram, gui not so smooth
but sound seems to be better quality (more details at high frequencies) and bluetooth headset connects faster

I don't trust it. I was told every quarter for almost a year that my photon 4g was getting ICS, they recently changed their minds last minute.

I Just Have One question i would love to put it directly to Samsung,
Why is the rollout of JB talking so long, since these devices (GT - P5110 ) have the source code released and no carrier to slow down the rollout ?
Are we to believe that the phone company's can roll out quicker than the device manufacturer on some products? how can this be ?

Samsung has known issues with her reflects concerning customer care services, such as the update to JB for the GT-51XX series. Same thing happened with the SGS 1 and icecream sandwich. First we would get the update (rumoured), then no update (official statement), then the value pack(official statement), then no value pack(rumoured), finally one day we saw value pack rolling out... Great reflectsSamsung

[Discussion Thread] Android 4.3

As you may know or not there was a found leak yesterday of REAL android 4.3 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 I-9505.
Well how does this relate to us?
Well we all are interested to see the difference in the system.
I thought it would be a good idea to keep a discussion thread just in case someone brings it up and people go off topic.
Some quick info on the firmware:
- A lot of backdoor additions such as the new norm of Low Power Bluetooth support.
- This version is NOT KEY LIME PIE.
- This version has almost no UI changes, but noticeable changes include settings access method in the camera e.t.c
- Some apps have Android 4.3 and even the modem name attached into the description when accessing app info.
- Known to increase benchmark scores by approximately 1800 in Antutu.
- Has a SeLinux button at bottom of About Phone in Settings.

Well only a leak for a phone.
Even Google didn't say a word about it but it is a firmware for a Google Edition phone made by them so it's official.

Even if the performance on Android 4.3 would be better, we would sadly never get it to a state on the Xperia Play so that it can be used as a daily driver. We're not even able to get wifi working on android 4.2!

I don't think anything above 4.1 is worth working on.

for someone that doesnt use phone for gaming even android 10 will be good on xperia play

What about performance?

great
It will be great if we can have a 4.3 roms for XPlay but i think that will kill the gaming performance of the device!!

It is rumored that Android 5.0 will run better on low-end phones than Jelly Bean did.

If you mix this rumor with the other rumor that Motorola has some secret new low-spec'd phones coming out, there may be some truth to it. I certainly hope so.

Personally I believe our phone is good enough to run JB. I don't see why it couldn't run Android 5.0 well.
JB performance is impressive and a lot of people don't understand RAM Consumption to a full extent on Android.
I think even 4.2.2 won't do the play any bad.

So what's new with 4.3? Any cool new features? And since its been ported for s4 is it possible to port to other phones now? Or still to early?

If Sony doesn't release 4.4 for SP I might buy the Z1 Compact or whatever will be the SP's succesor(only if it has 2 GB of ram !). What do you think Sony wants me to do ?

Most of the phones that have recently had 4.3 released had said that they were under investigation to get it. It doesn't mean we won't it just means they are going to see how much work it will take to do. Still a really good chance we will see it

Agree with you. I had the same thought!

I do believe that 4.4 will come to SP, since they have announced it as "future version" like last year. I guess they just want to take a break for a while for the whining that we SP users gave to them. :laugh:

Sony should release 4.4 +1 version. Since they support a device 18 months, I reckon that a version above Kitkat will release and that will be the last and the final update.
