I cannot wait! I skipped 4.4.4 due to the screen being way to sensitive to my liking, I think it was more of an android problem than Sony as the Galaxy s5 on 4.4.4 seems too sensitive to me as well.
Its 100% sure.Sony confirmed several times.Z3 and Z2 will take the update first,than the rest from the Z family.5.0 will start rolling at 10/15 of february. (hope there will be way for rooting it easly this time lol )

This depends are we talking UB or LB?
Im exited for LP alike everyone else, mostly for its featured and performance
Hopefully Xposed will work for Lollipop then :fingers-crossed:
I got sick of waiting for Lollipop and being on stock, finally got up the nerve to unlock and install CM11 LOL. Will wait and see what the new stock rom is like compared to CM12 once its widely available.

Hell yea bro. I really wish it'll work
Am I really the only one who finds Lollipop (atleast aosp) looking extremely unappealing? I gave it a go on my old Xperia Z but quickly just went back to 4.4.2... I really hope Sony will work their magic because the way Google made it is just... yuck... the notification dropdown is a mess and a great example of weird material-design would be the "Settings" menu of lollipop.. so much spacewaste filled with plain white.
The design guidelines for Android and even iOS confuses me these days -.- heck, even Windows and OS x look like plain colored crap! Tshh, tssh...

That's only if that method still works for LP. Isn't a kernel what allows SU during boot needed now? At least that was the case when I rooted my N7 2012 when LP was first released.

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

Well that's a lot better than the need for an unlocked bootloader then (although I will probably unlock mine soon ). It is going to be interesting to see what Sony do with the 5.0 update.

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.

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

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:

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?

yes, i have got my tablet ui back in 4.2.2!!! so annoyed by the new ui
i love the tabletui soooooo much since i saw it about a year ago, then i turned all my s3 (sold) and note2 roms' ui into tablet mode. now, its my tablet z (but i may sell it for the locked bootloader since i want my custom rom and kernel)

How did you do this? I downgraded cause i hate the new top menu in 4.2.2.

Hi all
I was updating my blog before and included a simplified howto, sorry for late reply.
@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

Its shame that you're selling your tablet as it seems you could have made a lot of cool mods for the Tablet Z.
Anyways I noticed in your blog that you will provide a mod to get the Tablet UI back for us less technical users. Will this include a mod for the WiFi version or just the LTE version?

4.4.4 had only changes made mainly for Nexus devices. These changes are likely already added in our 4.4.2 firmware so my guess is we will jump straight to L

True. At least we have something to enjoy thanks to these wonderful developers. But I believe android L on G2 will be more smoother and will have better battery life and ART enabled by default. Fingers crossed. Always love to have LG updates but sadly they take ages to release updates compared to other manufacturers.
LG actually doesn't like the minor updates, that's why we don't get 4.4.4, but they do update their phones when major changes appear.

They put a generic version... but the update is probably last And if it is really android 5.0...they're always work hard to make a very stable firmware..they can make a really good firmware with 5.0 base too..it explains the lot of time to roll out the firmware and android lollipop from the base is very buggy.... samsung galaxy s5 for example have android 5.0 base for the last firmware...but is more bugless than a nexus flagship with android 5.0.1

Again a comparison against 2 different devices, a good friend of mine had an S4 and update and that phone was totally dead and wont start anymore, she had mine in hands (my Z2) and she sold her S4 immidiatly and buyed a Sony and she is very happy now.. Enough said

Crapsung, I used to own an XPERIA x10, I upgraded to and S3 after a long while of owning that phone. I must say, it was an upgrade in speed and battery, but everyone with a decent brain should udnerstand that. I was not really happy with the phone, alot of problems, not only me, alot of others too. After my S3 I bought a Sony again, the XPERIA z2. Not even ONE problem with my phone anymore. No lags, nothing, everything is perfect. Never buying a Samsung again, overrated plastic. But my S3 is not out of service by the way. It still works, not smooth and perfect though as my Z2, my mom is using it with sometimes complaints.

Why don't you downgrade to 28.0.A.7.24 and life will be good.
If I downgrade, I think there is some sort of counter that tells Sky Go that I have rooted and Sky Go won't work. At least that's what I heard!

Wow.. I don't understand why you have not received 5.1.1 yet.. I have the First Tablet Z and we received 5.1.1 about a month ago...
We however will not get Marshmallow....Oh well 5.1.1 is rock solid...
We go straight to 6. See sony support page for z4 tablet.

No need for root. Just follow the tutorial and choose right firmware for your device and downgrade. And the touchsensitivity is back

OK, going for it!! But, which firmware from the Xperifirm should I use? I have an SGP712. I can see version 7.24 for Israel and Mexico but the suffixes are different. I understand that the language options are universal. Should I use one of these?
Thanks

Try France or Nordic, those are the version 28.0.A.7.24 ... If they dont work, you can always flash back the original UK .251
have their been any more updates on when we will get marshmellow?

My updater just updated, but then offered no update.
So close.
My last Sony, the wifi is crap with 5.02 a lot of lost connections and lost streams.
My wive has my old Z2 tablet with 5.1.1 and wifi works great,
I hope that 6.0 gives improvement if it ever comes.
