TSF Shell, coming soon.
Suggests they've been using S2 to demonstrate it (amongst others)

Download a registration apk..... has anyone actually done this? Is it safe?

i think they used it on miui rom

is there any download available presently ?

wow.. this is very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the stuff shown is pretty nice. However, I'm not too keen on installing an apk that collects hardware information (they never specified exactly what) and sends it to the devs.
I'll wait until either a) the registration apk / the devs are vouched for, or b) the official app comes out and is vouched for.

Download via pc not phone than you will not get server error.

Looks very slick indeed it depends on how much it costs when it is finally released on the market that SPB shell is a total rip off no launcher should cost as much as that.

Android 4.3 Xperia Z

What are peoples thoughts and opinions on another potential Android update in the coming months? I haven't seen any other threads on this yet so that's why it's being created.

Don't think much to it still waiting for 4.2.2 so won't hold my breath

If you haven't yet received the update that's most likely your carriers problem, most of the ppl here got it already... sorry mate. :-\
Sony has already confirmed that Xperia Z and in fact all their current flagships will receive 4.3. The only question is when?

When isn't even a question to be asking at this point, could be a few months to potentially six months or a year until we get it, while they're streamlining their processes to get you the software, enjoy 4.2.2 for a bit!

Just flashed .244 much better than .423 my phone is unbranded so no carrier we are now 4 update behind everyone else and we shouldn't have to flash roms to get an update no one else has to why should we that's why I won't hold my breath.

Funny thing. The unbranded Xperia z got updates later then the branded one. And flashing an ftf is basically the same as doing the official update. In either case u use a flashtool or sony companion. Same thing basically.. So ur complain about it is so what wrong. Because in either case ur phone needs to be hooked up to the pc mac or whatever to update.

The point is we shouldn't have to we don't want special treatment we just want the same as everyone else.
If my phone broke under warranty would Sony say your phone is UK unbranded fix it yourself? I don't think so.
I just don't swallow their lies quite as easy as some people do.

What has any of this got to do with the subject of this thread?
Please take pointless complaining about not receiving updates elsewhere. Preferably another forum altogether.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Well ok I see. For me it wasn't a big deal because like I said no matter if my phone would have told me there is an update I still would have to hook it up to my laptop install sony companion and then update. Basically the same as installing flashtool and then flashing an ftf. So both end up being the same step to update. And one question are u able to root the 244 update? And what makes it better then the 423 update?

The .224 I believe is much quicker and smoother It's sorted out allot of the lag you get with .423.
Yes it can be rooted Doomlord sorted it out. It's a bit of a rigmarole but it works.
If your not on it try it its definitely better.

Yeah not on it yet didn't feel like rooting it. As u just mention I saw that there is a root for this version but right now I am kinda lazy to do all that stuff right now. But I am pretty sure I will pretty soon update to that version. Or maybe skip until 4.3. Not sure.

It has lots to do with it. Sony are spouting on about all these update and we in the UK aren't getting any.
and I'm certainly not gonna kiss Sony butt they've given us nothing and I'm gonna tell everyone I can including Sony on this open forum and others how much they suck so people can make a clear and informed decision before being duped into buying their products.

It is pointless complaining and some of us are sick and tired of every single thread regarding updates being infested with it. Even unrelated threads about Android 4.3 such as this one.
1. Go to Sony's support forum and complain there. Nobody here really cares or can help you with your 'problem'.
2. You are on a development site. Any update is available here minutes after it's released, negating the need to whine about it not being available for your region.
Just as an aside, I am also from the UK. I simply flashed another regions software when 423 was released and moved on. I will be updating to the latest software this afternoon. No pointless complaining from my part.

Sony announced that 4.3 will be available 'early August'. We all know what early means

Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) was compiled on Jan 19th and ready for OTA preparation

http://www.justaboutphones.com/sony-xperia-z5-z5-compact-z5-premium-z3-marshmallow-6-0-update/
If we follow the time it took for 5.0 to go from "Uploading" to actually available in Xperifirm, it took about a week. At least we know it's
Edit: Changed the title. The kernel build date will probably say 19th. Seems like Sony's apps aren't Marshmallow-ready.

This is the best news so far in 2016

You have it the other way around. The other site was just blogspam for clicks. There was no source at all.
justaboutphones.com is a trusted source because they also leaked the 5.0 update for Z3 which appeared a week later: http://www.justaboutphones.com/sony-xperia-z3-z2-z3-compact-android-lollipop-update/

Sony's firmware servers are DOWN right now. This usually happens around update time. They might come back up with new update files. Or they might not.
Edit: False alarm. Servers are back, with some updates, but none Marshmallow related.

Sorry, I'm a complete noob.. Which version would be the proper one for me? I don't see "Customized US" or anything even mentioning the US in the list for my phone model.
Nvm I just chose the Singapore version

Welcome back Stamina mode And we have double tap to sleep now!

Xperia Z5 Premium is not officially available in the US so there is no US firmware for it.

Any version for E6853 will work for it.
I have the brazilian version and i'm using italian firmware.
