Im glad you brought that up i remember reading on a forum 3 months ago that JB will come in 2 versions ; JB and JB Lite...they said JB lite is for lower end devices i was mind f*cked...could our tiny little X8's have a shot at yet ANOTHER major update ??? But hey, these are all reports and rumours...Google hasnt even started working on it, let alone build a lite version of it
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
We will see about jb...cyanogenmod released sources for cm9 for armv6...cm10?i dont know...jb lite?it may be for lower-end phones,but i think for lower end armv7 phones.it would be plain stupid if google makes android 5.0 for armv6 but didnt make 4.0 wouldnt it?

mini cm9 support 5ghz wifi tweak?
any1 can tell me the thread 5ghz wifi tweak?
JB??=Justin Beiber? hehe.
Oh well see about that if our mod still accept the JB challenge in the near future..
Me afraid our x8 is too old until that day
XDA members can do anything then why not JB (Justin Beiber )

Its already fixed in the next version but you have to wait until it is released.

Unlock your bootloader and flash an ICS rom. Better than having the standard crap Sony Ericsson skin ruining the phone.
As an added bonus, all the best games i.e SNES emulators, work
Getting the Play for Android games is a waste of a gamepad........
Ics on r800 doesnt support bt headphones :c
Wysyłane z mojego R800i za pomocą Tapatalk 2
there are rumors the play won't get ics due to some memory issue
no mentions at sony though lets be optimistic
Sony: It's gonna be on Late Feb / Early Apr. Lol nope.
Sony: It will surely be on Late Apr / Early May. Lol wait more.
Sony: It's officially on Late May / Early June. Lol, don't remember that.
Hope Sony won't push the update until the end of 2012.
Hopefully all the games we love are compatible wth that updte.. Bt thts unlikely to hppen..

i thought about this, iwas looking through some roms and i said to my self " should i install a ICS Rom or wait for official update from sony"
when i unlock my bootloader and flash the rom if i want to revert all i have to do is flash custom rom and relock bootloader?

Yeah. Trust me though, the best ICS rom to flash for the Play is AOKP
Now it has theme support so its possibly the best ICS rom in terms of customization

Gameloft games don't work
I know when the ICS is out!
Its the 32nd of May.
/sarcasm/
Please stop with these threads already, these and the "what's the best rom" as well as the "Xperia play 2 patent submitted" type of threads are a waste of time IMHO, when there's one of them, fine, but you don't need ten threads for one announcement.

Agreed. No reason for someone to make another thread to the same topic, if need be just use whatever thread is current. OTherwise just wasting space on the forums and it makes it less likely that someone with a real question or thread is not going to be seen unless someone diggs through all the posts.
Xperia S is not on the list either... This is obviously the list of phones that are receiving updates in the current roll out.
So this has me thinking..... Nexus S is similerly specs to the Xperia PLAY and it will be getting Jelly Bean...man... For those curios unless games work great on ICS and or JB I will stick with GB as it offers, currently, the most compatibility. Still though.. if the Nexus S can get it the nwhy not the PLAY. Clearly $ony has moved on and has forgotten about our awesome little gaming phone.... guess its JB or waiting until later today to see what the supposed new ZTE Gaming phone is all about.... peace ya'll

Thats why i am still on GB and dont plan on moving to ICS. Most games are not opimized to work on ICS.
The ZTE smart phone doesn't even have a gamepad. Also only a tegra 2 processor. Bit dated. On the plus side, it is cheap though, only £189.99

i just really hope that jelly bean gets ported well to the play with project butter and stuff... + the gaming (at least emulators) works as good as with gingerbread... but i dont think its gonna happen :/
Due to project butter, jellybean seems like a major change from ICS, more so than gingerbread to ICS (not in terms of appearance)

Yeah! Looks like we will never get something that will replace our SE-XPLAYS!!!! Shame really thought we might be seeing some Tegra 3, GamePad love! But hey! Its not like we have ever had our hopes and dreams smashed before now is it!
Wasn't ever going to happen. Anyway, doesn't Sony have the patent for physical gamepad in a phone?
i heard that JB only needs 512 of ram. Does it mean that it will probably run better as ICS did?

Oh god, not this again.
The reason that the Xperia Play is not getting ICS is not because its hardware!!!!
READ THE FOLLOWING LINES PLEASE!
The reason because the Xperia Play won't get ICS goes like this:
1- Sony launches the Xperia Play.
2- Some months later, some developers like Rockstar Games and EA make some outsanding games compatible with the Xperia Play (GTAIII, Dead Space...) wich helps a lot on the sales of this smartphone.
3- Sony, wich plans to update the Xperia Play to ICS like the other Xperias from 2011, launches a beta of ICS for the Xperia Play in order to allow people to test how their apps and games run on the new version of Android.
4- The beta works great on the phone, but some games like GTA III and other important titles don't run well. These games need to be updated to work correctly on the ICS for the Xperia Play.
5- Rockstar, EA and others refuse to update their games for the Xperia Play.
6- Sony, with no option, doesn't want to lose the most important titles of the Xperia Play and decides to not update the device.
END.
Well I'm looking around and I see a lot of empty ness now since Sony cancelled on ics for Play. I have hopes for jelly bean though!

It's not dying, Sony just dropped support. Development here is still going just fine, albeit a little more slowly

Since Gameloft and EA said they wont support ICS for play, you dont need hope for JB then.

not yet, in a hopefully short time a really good kernel will be released (that only works on a few devices yet)
maybe a few roms, but if sony release jb for play development will go faster.
at least sony is testing jb on play
you talk about the 3.0.x kernel of the Kexec topic nick?
nope, something better

not directly but they said: xperia 2012 line
so that's also the P and Sola
No offense, but I'm not taking the word of a forum poster who spoke to "a guy at Sony" that jb is being tested on the Play. The truth is this phone is in the process of being dropped by Sony, in fact I doubt its even being manufactured anymore. They have it working as is, and they have a whole new product line out there. JB is NOT coming to the Play.
then they can still testing it!
jb does only recommend 512mb ram where ics recommend 1024mb ram
for games much better!
project butter makes it even better for games!
but if you don't want to believe me, then you don't

Also, butter is the UI and some of the SDK. Most apps in ICS run in GB compatibility mode, so won't use the jb optimizations

A friend of mine recently got a Nexus and when he got it it had ICS and wouldnt run any GL games, now with JB he is running MC3 and several other GL games without any issues.... I never left GB as I game way too much but if JB ever came out and it worked for R800x (highly doubtful) then I might consider switching. Until then I will forever be on 2.3.3 (thank you VZ for the 2.3.4 train wreck you released)
Anyways, I am crossing my fingers for some news..... even if never switch to it.

The GL issue sounds like a bug in the system that was ironed out in Jelly Bean, speaking as a Nexus user

Sony, All we need is some Alpha/Beta of jelly bean WITH touchpad support, We can do the rest lol.
Unlikely us poor Verizon folks will ever get anything better than 2.3.3. It's time to drop big red, I think.

The long-awaited roll-out appears to have commenced, with lucky GS III owners in Poland being among the first to get an official taste of Android 4.1.1. If you hadn't heard, the update will bring a host of subtle yet powerful improvements, including Google Now and smooth UI improvements from Project Butter, as well as some Samsung extras already seen on the Galaxy Note II, such as a resizable Pop-up play screen. Hopefully this means the update will reach the rest of us in the coming days.
