Xperia Mini small size, 1GHz cpu (overclockable up to 2GHz), 512 MB RAM, ICS update from SE, official CyanogenMod support, multitouch (i really miss this on my synaptics X8), good price - cca 150 euros
Xperia Play €149 here
Official CyanogenMod and gets official ICS from SE too!

I think mine will be SEX Mini Pro / SEX Ray. but I think its kinda complicated to root(is it? I mean downgrade etc ). I'll buy a phone that got 100% support from CyanogenMod!
I am going for ARC or ARC-S, which is going to fit my pocket.
1. What about Xperia neo V ?
2. Will it get official ICS update or not ?

I am a little upset that the xperia E comes with official Android 4.1 JB having less specs then the xperia play and they get jellybean! not ICS straight to jellybean! both specs are identical but the xperia E has a lower Gpu and internal memory AND STILL! I understand that sony said that they wanted to leave this phone as a gaming phone but at least make it a optional update on your own risk or something

Yeah it sucks that we dont get it and we didnt even get ics (i dont count the beta because of all its bugs) but there was a rumored release for it a while ago could this be it? :sly:
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
I think the problem is even if Sony released JB for our phone game development would still be slowing down like it has been lately. Plus all the older XPO releases like asphalt 6 and star battalion wouldn't work. Not like a lot of people play those. I still do. Is it possible to utilize some aspects of the xperia e's firmware?

thats why i say at your own risk, for people who might not want to game in the xperia play
Wouldn't be the first time a weaker phone got a newer FW than Xperia Play... we've already established that the reason Xperia Play didn't get ICS/JB was because it would throw the software compatibility way off.
If you want a good example of how bad it would've been, just look at all Evo V owners who are in an absolute fury because the vast majority of 3D games were made to operate under 2.3. The way I see it, Sony did the smart thing by opting for a more stable ecosystem.
The thing is that a lot of app developers are abandoning gb, and making apps for 4.0+, even Google them self, example, chrome browser a great browser but not for gb.
I'd even settle for a decent official ics from Sony, I mean the developers here are doing a better job than them

The Xperia Play has a Scorpion S2 CPU, it's old. The Xperia E is a Cortex A5. Scorpion might be faster in raw flops but the A5 has more features. Snapdragon is quite poor by today's standards and the Xperia E will probably beat it in many ways.

They don't do it on purpose. 2.x API just doesn't support anywhere near as much as 3.0+.

Hey dan!
and i see what you mean by the differences, i seen some benchmarks
I am going to admit many people know more about the inner workings of hardware. But I am sure that with the xperia e's 320x240 resolution also helps in benchmarks as it's not having to push as much in terms of resolution. Although I know that is only one aspect of a bigger picture.

My friend has an Xperia J which is running on stock ICS and I can tell you it is laggy as hell, my phone with Krisdee's Hybrid ROM is much more stable. I know this has nothing to do with the Xperia E but Xperia J has similar hardware as our Xperia Play. Maybe he has a faulty device, I don't know.
Us modders have done a great job in making ics work well on Xperia play

bastards.. they couldn't do it 2 months ago, now could they?
If I can trade the old XZ and get the new version while adding some money I'd be happy.

It's just the Honami, it's a bit thicker and sort of the best of the Z and ZL with a much better camera and Snapdragon 800.
Remember the Xperia S was called the Xperia Arc HD in early stages too.

You misread it. The blog says: " Eldar Murtazin, known to provide accurate leaks in the past".
The Honami isn't 5" so we shall see.

Wow, they don't even provide a source for their 'update'.
CPU/GPU upgrade for the moment is meeningless for me at least, good part was HTC ONE class display, but bad part is "it colud not make it in real phone"
Guys it doesn't matter if there is an updated Z. We all know that honami will be the flagship of H2. And when honami is announced, everyone is just going buy that and forget the updated Z.
Everyone will buy honami, everything is new and built from the ground in Japan.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
A Z with the 800cpu seems misguided with Honami launching in a few months. It'll just be another in an already long list of devices causes yet further delays in the update process.

The update came after some sites began claiming the Xperia Z refresh to be Honami. Really, they have no idea.
If there was a way to trade my Xperia Z for the Snapdragon 800 version without buying it again...
Okay! newest version of Android 4.4 has been released and its the most feature packed Android yet! as always
things! we as X8 user need to NOTE is the latest iteration of the Android has been super optimized
and able to run on a phone with lesser Resources that than JellyBean has to require, possible on a phone
with minimum RAM of 512MB, but we X8 user magically able to run Jellybean unofficially in form of CM10 created by our legends
that requires more resources than current KitKat. If we look at the X8's resources and side by side comparison
between Jellybean and KitKat, Theoretically we able to run KitKat much faster,smoother,responsive in our X8.
So if all the previous great and experienced developer hands on X8 again could we enjoy KitKat inside this
tiny device and extends its Development Community life?
or
JellyBean is the last for X8
it's not possible becasue Xperia X8 is too old and too weak for android 4.4 KitKat and there is someone to be finished built rom and kernel in my opinion.
Ya I agree x8 is too old, but in my opinion if we have the great past developer's and vibrant community again, we eventually could get it since logically 4.4 is very lightweight compared to current jelly bean, even galaxy nexus don't get Android 4.4 but anything possible in development community

1st of all an experienced developer who can work on the rom like nAa!
2nd - a kernel (something like the performance of alfs kernel) from good sources.
3rd -many people have ditched their x8. i still have it. so the remaining people should become testers.
I have played with kitkat and it is just awesome!!!

Yes we have great developers but, can not work as a team that was able to work together.
Sorry to say, but now we have great and RETIRED developers. All developers who made significant things in the x8 section now not working or working with newer phones. nAa and dx stopped everything, alfs looks like also inactive, daveee10 busy with his real work (and he have a galaxy s3, so probably he will not return).
Only few member try to make something new (for example afi1982 try to build 4.2, but not 4.4), and few modders active now...
I have Xperia Z and if I don't manage to get cm10.1 on our beloved x8 then it's time for me to move on..
In my opinion ĆM10.1 is to high for X8, whe have ĆM10 and it's TOO MUĆH really. Better save some money and buy phone like Xperia J, it's better idea than waste time for dev for legendery phone and dusted phone in old users

i noticed that on other phones like Galaxy Grand and others. Android 4.2.2 is way faster and smoother than 4.2.1 .
Please provide the rom soon. MINICM7 though fast , is really boring.
Also which kernel are you using it with? and how much free ram are you getting? I hated 4.2.1 keyboard because it always showed a pop up when adding words. I hope 4.2.2 doesnt have that problem.
I'd like to help with testing working builds

Afi bro! You doing really great job now even 10.1 is possible for Xperia x8, my point is if a Jellybean able to run on X8 why not the super optimised KitKat which requires lesser RAM than Jellybean. I know really need lot's of hard coding, and kernel modifications. But it's that KitKat running in a newer Linux kernel?
