Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere, but as I was updating my Xperia Link app on the play store, I noticed it has screenshots which had the notification bar moves to the top and the three main home, back and open apps buttons moved to the centre of the bottom bar like a nexus 10.
So it seems Sony will be changing it to match the Nexus tablet line UI for the forthcoming update.
Nice find!
Hopefully the update comes soon.

is that what 4.2 will really look like?
im not a hater or anything but to be honest i dont like it, i guess i need to stick the current appearance if that so...
plus i agree with the person above me.. the shortcut for small apps and remote is gone...
anyway, its not really out yet and i hope that kind of appearance is for phones
i just remember that i think xperia z tab will not go for 4.2 cause it will jump to 4.3, IM NOT SURE

Why did Sony kill off TabletUI? The "new" TabletUI is a piece of crap for a 10,1" device!

the image is clearly photoshopped. look at the status bar - the bluetooth and wifi icons are off centered and much too big, same with the battery percentage. also the apps look like they are copied in, they are much too close to the navigation bar. this is clearly a fake screenshot.
let´s see what the real 4.2 update will bring us i would appreciate the switch to the new tablet ui from 4.2. it´s so much more intuitive and needed for 4.2 because where would the quicksettings go without it?

I don't think Sony will switch to a phablet ui. It would confuse their 'normal' consumer base (excluding people here). And companies always assume users are idiots, so i'm pretty sure we'll still have the tablet ui
Sony is trying to keep the core framework and such as close as possible to stock Android. I also don't like this new UI, but I'm sure as soon as we have the 4.2 system deodexed, mods to bring the old Tablet UI will be back...

It might be photo shopped, but it is from official screenshots from a Sony tablet app on Google Play, so we have to assume it is the new UI. Like you though, I guess we'll have to see
Nothing surprise if Sony switch to this Phablet look as Android officially kill off the Tablet UI since Jelly Bean 4.2.2
I do hope Sony keep the tablet UI even on 4.2.2 or 4.3 in future, I not really fancy on Phablet UI on Tablet due to it just smaller more the screen usage due to Status Bar and Navigation Bar get separate.
Sorry, but:
If this ends up being the case someone will need to port PA to this device. I do not want to give up more screen for the notification bar up top.

I've seen PAC-Man but not PA, PAC has the PA per-app DPI changer so its pretty much PA with a bunch more goodies from CM and AOKP.
The only problem is, unless it has been fixed in the past 2 or 3 days, that the ROMs don't have WiFi working on the WiFi only XTZ. A lot of people, myself included, chose the WiFi only XTZ because we didn't need the cellular connectivity and because it was quite a bit cheaper. The entire reason a lot of people haven't unlocked their bootloader is because there is simply no reason to at the current moment because the ROMs haven't progressed far enough, no fault of the hard working devs, for them to be completely functional or have even all the core functions.

I have never seen how that's implemented, I have never had the chance to use a Sony android phone. My carrier, Verizon, doesn't carry them, I believe the last one that Big Red had was the Xperia Play. Hopefully Big Red will bring the Xperia Z Ultra, I would gladly give up my Note 2 and pay full retail price, to keep my unlimited plan, for it!
Anyway, I got off topic for a bit.... Would you mind explaining how the Small Apps being in the Recent Apps works?

#NotReal
..
I'm not too sure myself if this real or not, however what irks me is how people seem to be disappointed at googles lack of "cosmetic" changes.
Really?
It took ios five iterations before making major design changes to their software the- ability to change your wallpaper and implementation of folders. What they added the most was features. What google accomplished with gingerbread most was making the OS look as if it was made by one person and ICS looks no different.
WinPho7 Mango? Still looking square. What was added? FEATURES.
What I look forward to most is the the solution to fragmentation that plaguing the OS and talks of being optimized for dual core devices. At this age of Android design takes a backstage to performance.
Too ugly for you? Slap ADW or Launcher Pro and call it a day.
Top Reasons why its real
1.The lockscreen
2.The Transtion when he opened settings
3.Multitasking menu
4.The Widgets in app draw
5.The Settings menu
6.Screen rotation animation
7.Google apps folder
8.The launcher
why doesnt he just install rom manager and post it on here?
Google wiped it but they were able to get a system dump an there a few devs that have it including the legend Chainfire

Well, i think the article is about the icons more than the firmware updates. Looks like they will put icons on 3 rows cause of Apple lawsuits.
Maybe it Would be a good way to pull me back to stock rom lol.
Still, it looks strange o.o
I thought it was for OAP`s with such large icons.
I don't like it! I like 4 icons and not 3 and i like my icons the way they are. I don't want them bigger...smaller maybe but definetly not bigger...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I saw it earlier today. It's totally stupid.
Make it 5 a row instead. 3 is just insane, makes it look like a cheap toy or an outdated navigation system or something.
I'm happily running MIUI.
that looks retarded.
5 icons are better than 3
I will be sticking with a ROM that has the icons we have now no matter how good the new update is.

I don't think you guys are getting it. They are not making all the icons bigger or changing the layout, what I understand is that they will be making it an option to have bigger icons if you want... BIG HOME.

Finally found the original press release but google translate isn't working so well on it.
http://www.samsung.com/sec/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=29336&gltype=localnews
From that press release it seems obvious that the magnified icons and apps are a feature (mostly for older people), and not the new default.
This is a great ideia, btw. The SG2 lacked in accessibility options such as this.
Sooooooo conference is over... I can just image what can be done through development on phones now. Now that the SDK is available, hopfully we will see some ICS this month? Im excited!
What are your favorite features? (If you watched the conference)
Without source code we're basically SOL for a daily driver, but SDK ROMs are cool to check out

The face unlock seems cool but what is your in a dark place like a bar. I hope they have an alternate way to unlocking it in that situation.
The new camera app looks sweet and I love how fast it can snap pictures on the Galaxy Nexus.
Taking out physical buttons was brilliant. Not only does it make the screen bigger but this way you can have what ever buttons you like (fully customizable). Unlike now as I never use the search button on my Dinc.
i Love the idea of the facial recognition, im sure rooted devices could eventually impliment thaf into unlocking apps too.
and when they had the mess up, it looked like it went to the pattern unlock, so i guess thats a back up.
the buttons was also great, much more room for larger screens, but the lack of physical buttons also worries me a bit.
hopefully some nice development will come out of this, so far i think this is the best android version with the most features and ui changes

The ICS Google Music app was already leaked a couple weeks ago. Will the other updated apps (like Gmail, for example) be made available to Gingerbread users as well (either via apks or official market update)?

I like the new font.
it may not seem practical with our phones, but you could always use the other camera, turn your phone facing you, and hope it recognized you.
the bricked layout is nice, its not as simple as windows phones, but its a great balance between simplicity and advanced customizability.
also i believe some apks in ics will be ported for other android versions too.

Yes, most likely through market updates. Although if your willing to try you could attempt to install the apk from the system dump. I might mess something else up though, and even if it didn't I don't think the gmail widget would work.

@Spartoi oh, u r rite. I didnt notice the tray until u mentioned it, coz i just got my tablet for more than a week's time, and then busy to root it, testing the roms and problems fixing
Anyway, its a matter of time when there will be a guy come out with the mod coz like many of you guys, a roll back to phone ui really upset me
However, i have to say goodbye to my tablet z. I love it but it is just not the right device for me. I prepared to work on those missing mods, tweaks etc that i think the tablet z needs and deserve to have before but finally i find myself difficult to live with this tablet for personal reasons
This is a nice tablet actually, but didnt draw much attention as other sony devices

no, once you get root access SuperSu will add an exeption into the policy nearly imediatly so an unlocked bootloader is no longer required to root lollipop

Better don't do that, because Sony will release 5.0 in February. Better stay on locked bootloader, u can unlock bootloader only if u want to tray some another rom on another kernel (non stock, like CM, AOSP). I think Sony will release 5.0 in 30 days maximum

That's actually my plan, to do a little bit of experimenting with another ROM/kernel/MultiROM.
Apart from Lollipop we all see news around that Sony is open to sell their mobile division. I'm so sad to hear that. Still its a rumour and we didn't see any new devices on CES too.
