[Q] Any Xperia based ROMs for HTC Desire S?

Hi All,
Is there any Xperia based ROM (Only ICS+, no G available for HTC Desire S?
Please comment.
Merry Xmas to all..

Errr, there arent much roms in dev section, and the roms are pretty similar.
It is either different version of sense from different ports or different cm/aosp/aokp which runs with trebuchet or something similar.

I pretty mch used every other ROMs. I m now in Sabsa Prime 10.1 from Paranoid ROM, CyMod10, 10.1 etc...
But, i like to have a feel of new Xperia ICS+ ROMs.
Thanks for reply.

i've tried to port an xperia rom to desire s..... Ended up with a lot of bugs...
Camera not working
No sound coming out the speaker
3g connection not working
wifi won't function at all..
Btw iam not a developer i've just gave it a try

I don't think any developer (among the very few who are still active on Desire S) will try to work on a Xperia based ROM. I guess there will be many kernel based issues (I'm no dev, just a guess).
But I think this new Xperia Launcher by ra3al might help you get that Xperia feel. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021332

Thanks @Kingdomds. Even i thought of that. Anyways, thanks for the update.
@tech_gooner - After using XperiaLauncher only, i asked that qn. But, Xperia LAuncher taking heavy toll on normal usage of Sabsa Prime Sense.
Any way Im going to flash ViperSAGA soon.

I used Xperia Launcher for nearly two weeks on CM10 and 10.1 (flinny's builds), and it did not have any major battery drainage.

Which xperia launcher?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

@king_josh60 Go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021332
@tech I m not telling about battery. Thats fine.
But, phone became extremely slow. I think Sense goodies running with Xperia makes it tough for the phone.
Anyways, that led me to try the Viper Saga. Its awesome..

Without the second thought go for xperia if u are nt worried about a 5 inch big screen form factor. Faster and better functionality.

Bear in mind you're asking this on XDA which is an Android (and Windows) development site. You're going to get answers biased in favour of the Xperia because most people on here love Android and hate iOS. To be honest though nobody can decide for you, there are far too many factors to take into account. It would be like asking someone 'what's the best colour' and expecting them to give you a definite answer.

Dont think much dude,close ur eyes and buy the xperia z mobile.
Go for comparing on mobile websites and see difference,.
any noob will not think about any mobile while thinking of xperia Z.
So buy Z and show ur richness...
................................................................................................

Hi there!
My first answer: Xperia Z
My second answer: [can you root an iPhone 5?] Xperia Z
Oh and don't forget to click on THANKS.

helpppppp

hi , i have finally saved enough money to buy unlocked either xperia z or galaxy s4 , i have researched on gsm arena, cnet etc websites and all of them say the galaxy s4 has some good hardware and features and xperia z has awesome design but less features , i currently want the phone with the most developer support for custom roms and stuff , the problem is the galaxy s4's variant with quadcore is available here , can any person who has used both phones recommend which one is better ? no fanboyism please thanks :highfive:

I would take xperia z
Reasons
Snapdragon based... So sources are available and thus developer friendly..
Awesome looks
Water proof so u don't have to worry abt rains or toilets or tubs
Regarding s4 octa core...
Poor developer support... No sources... And belive me 8cores dun work SIMULTANEOUSLY
regarding quad core variant... A bit similar to xperia z ... And again snapdragon so MAY get good support...
My pick xperia z ...

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/...galaxy-s4-vs-sony-xperia-z-comparison-review/ says the battery is same but users here claim s4 has more battery life ? , tbh it doesnt bother me much even if XZ has a bit less battery life i think i will go with the xperia z thanks for the quick reply anyway.

Xperia z ftw! Simply because Sony is way more supportive to developers than any other oem out there

I bought the Arc s as in my opinion its the most stylish phone and good specs for my needs.
I was going to upgrade to the Z but it does not have a removable battery.
What happens if it freezes

Sorry, but I closed this thread. There are 2 threads devoted to questions about devices, please feel free to repost your question in one of these two threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1620179 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1846277
Thanks!
P.S. I would watch the commercials and pick the device solely based on which device had the best looking spokes person.

[Q] considering to buy

Hello,
I'm considering to switch my XJ to an XL,
how is the front camera's quality from Xperia L?
and how many multi-touch points does the Xperia L have?
What do you guys think?
I can either re-take my Xperia J or take an Xperia L

Sidle

I can imagine the performance increasing huge, when coming from xperia j, as it has 0.5GB more ram and 1 more core than Xperia Jlo,
Xperia J also had BAD multitouch support, only 2 fingers max, which was KILLING me.
but I guess front camera will stay **** then... well I guess i'll have to deal with it.

The front camera is an epic fail in low light,,but in High light,,The VGA capture photos look like HD720p ..

I would only tell you to just go ahead and buy it. It is actually a very good device. Excellent gaming, very fast and good screen size. The only drawback is lack of development. I am currently in contact with developers and I can assure you by the end of January we will have a lot of custom ROMS. Multi touch points arenot really used. I guess it has 4 or 5. My Nexus supports over ten but I can tell you i never used more than three together since I am using android (2009).
You can also read my guide about : BUYING NEW DEVICE in my signature. I believe that will be really helpful to make your mind.
If I were you, I will prefer XL over XJ any day!
Good Luck.

No need to think its

Dual Video Recording - Sony Xperia Z3?

Hi guys,
As stated above question, does Sony Xperia Z3 / Sony's flagship phones has dual video recording or dual video call feature?
LG & Samsung flagships have this feature, does Sony has this?
Please don't hate my question, I've already searched for threads or posts but no results found.
Thanks & best regards.

Wow, that's a relief! :angel:
I really want that feature, able to capture yourself and others at the same time.
Dual video call means when using skype, your contact may able to see your face and rear camera at the same time.
Thanks for clarifying! Thanks +1 given :good:

I thought it had that feature.
Do you have any game crashing issues with Sony Xperia Z3?
I'm planning to buy Z3, and Sony Smartphones tended to crash more often on games even in online gaming, is that true?
Will you recommend Z3 for gaming?

As i am always honest.
I dont know, because i am casual gamer (temple run, duet, or some sort of puzzle gamer) i dont have time nor will to play massive 3D games on phone, especially online.
But i can assure you i never had problems playing games on my older Xperias which include (Xperia Z1, Xperia S, Xperia Arc/s, Xperia Neo)
So my honest opininion this word "tends" to crash more is not suintable on whole Xperia Lines, its suintable to individuals who mods their phone a lot.
On stock Sony Rom, i forgot how "force close" popup looks like, i never had it on Z3 nor Z1.

Sounds good, coz I'm a heavy gamer.
On my previous Samsung Galaxy Phones, I always root my phone to be able to use apps like Lucky Patcher, Gameguardian, modded Apk's with OBB,
Freedom, in short, I install these apps for hacking games & to install apps that requires root like greenify, seeder, etc etc.
I rooted my phone but still using my stock rom, I never installed a custom rom.
My question, is it ok to root Xperia Z series? You said problems arise for those people who mod their phone, but all I want is just to root the phone. :fingers-crossed:

It is ok to root it, but for example greenify is useless because you have stamina and ultra stamina, if you combine them, they could make problems. So there is no point of this app, for seeder i dont know what is it.
Its simply like this, take every phone on this world, if it is stock it will work as company intended, take it and modify it, there is a chance to make it unstable.
I were like you before in days of (Xperia Neo, Arc, S) then when i bought Z1 i modified and then went back to Stock. And i found out stock works the best.

Greenify it' s not useless, it is not the same thing with Stamina.
