Kicking off Sony’s Jelly Bean Android 4.1
rollout for Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia E
dual
April 24, 2013 - 9:18 AM
148 comments
The next Sony software rollout for Xperia
P , Xperia go and Xperia Edual is starting
this week – it is a phased process and will
ramp up over this month and next*.
The new software brings Android 4.1 “Jelly
Bean”, along with a number of different
and improved Sony features. We’ve been
working to blend our Sony Xperia software
with Google’s Jelly Bean release to create
some cool user experiences – some of the
functionality you can look forward to
includes:
Newer and even more intuitive versions of
Sony Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and
Movies
A set of slick, easy-on-the-eye libraries
that let you access and share all your
snaps, videos and tunes.
Make your battery last longer with Battery
STAMINA Mode
Battery STAMINA Mode lets you get the
most out of your battery when you need it.
Fully customizable, your phone knows
when the screen is off and shuts down the
draining apps you don’t need, and then
instantly starts them up again when the
screen is back on.
Organize and search for your apps in a new
quicker way
Application tray sorting is that bit breezier
– just press and hold on any app – move,
add it to your desktop or create a folder
within the tray by dropping it on top of
another.
We’ve also added a new search function
within the application tray that makes it
easy to locate your favourite apps.
Personalize your phone even more with your
additional panes
A revamped homescreen experience for
handling widgets, apps and shortcuts…
with up to 7 desktop panes, widgets that
auto-resize and actionable notifications,
you have complete flexibility to create the
interface you want with a few simple
touches.
Google Now brings you just the right
information at just the right time even before
you know you need it
Combining the power of Google search and
user profiling, Google Now helps you
accomplish daily tasks more efficiently.
You can learn more about Google Now
here .
In some cases – particularly for Xperia go
users – we’ve only made the upgrade
accessible via PC Companion or Bridge for
Mac due to the size of some software
packages, and these users will only
receive an in-phone notification if running

updates are released in region stages then carrier stages
If you've updated to jelly bean, please upload ftf rom to download.
Thanks
Not every version is getting the update yet, but you can change your version customization string in build.prop to another one which gets offered the update (requires root). Mine was 1271-7596 (Central Europe), and changing it to 1271-1644 (Turkey) got me the 11.3.A.2.1 update with SUS (requires locked boot loader).
Edit: This is for C1605, not C1604.

JB has already been released in INdia for C1604 Sony Xperia E Dual
What I should edit and how should I edit to get the Jelly Bean release for C1604.
I bought mine directly from Sony Brazil, so it is not carrier unlocked.
I was used to Samsung phones. Bought this as a backup phone while my S3 is in being fixed.

Update any C1604 Sony Xperia E Dual to 4.1.1 jelly bean
Hi mirdones,
you should have the following software....
Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool
Sony Update services
Sony PC Companion
You should first re-install your firmware of your Sony Xperia E DUal using SUS.
And Backing up the appropriate file and convert it to FTF for further use.
Root the phone....
back up Build.prop to a pc or some where safe for further use..
Edit Build.prop
by finding 3 lines and replace with strings from below ( these are strings from India built)
replace xxxx-xxxx with 1270-7235
ro.product.name=C1604_xxxx-xxxx
ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/C1604_xxxx-xxxx/C1604:4.0.4/11.1.A.0.64/20121227.095050:user/release-keys
ro.semc.version.cust=xxxx-xxxx
(if possible post ure brazil built strings here so if some one wants he can download and flash brazil built)
if u have unlocked ure bootloader to root then relock your bootloader. Then restart ure phone and connect it through Sony PC companion to check for update...
it will show an update is present and update ure Phone To JB
my phone sure got updated to JB
I hope you know how to root and then relock the bootloader... If not check the forum for other topics to find how to do it?

Hello!
I recently update my XPeria J using THIS tutorial, everything went well but I notice that when I use the stock walkman player the lockscreen music controls are gone, I can only see them if I use the notification bar without any kind of lock system. Is this normal o a bug? I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (11.2.A.0.31) locked bootloader. Is there a way to put them back or any alternatives?
Thx in advanced.
Reset factory!

I asked because there are people in the Sony forums complaining about that issue.
Never mind, I'll borrow a friend's sd card, check for myself and then come back here.
Thanks for the answer, though.
It brings Small Apps to Xperia L, fixed freezing & restarting, camera, front camera, storage, and battery bug, and performance stability, I don't know other changes..
It fixed my Xperia L's freezing and restarting bug, now it is amazingly perfect
It fixed front camera bug which is just black&white ( no color )
It fixed camera and video bug, now it is a perfect smartphone camera
Now battery use is more effiecient
It fixed storage problem in my XL
And best of all, Small Apps..
Unfortunately, Superior Auto isn't includedin this update...

Hello
Today my brother gave me Sony Xperia J. I've had HTC Wildfire S before, but Xperia J is much better than WFS
I have question about important thing: What is wrong with headphones? I've read about that, and i don't know if it's hardware or software problem. Is that right, that after update to Jelly Bean Xperia J doesn't detect headphones? Is root and flashing any CM or other rom helpful?
Greetings and sorry for my English
I want Xperia Z lockscreen that is of jellybean for all devices and Movies and walkman app of Xperia Z !! I have stock ROM , Rooted with ICS !! Please give me the link and the instructions to install it (via CWM) & Can I get it without installing it via CWM ?! Like kind of replacing app in system/app like that. As I haven't installed any app via CWM before. Will be thankful if I get some guidance
