I've read this article it says Android 5.0 will be optimized for devices running with only 512 mb of Ram. So maybe a day will come that our custom Roms will be much more better than 4.2 roms now!

Wow, that's a great news, just waiting for the day to come. I will be first one to update mine. I have come a long way since my first 64 MB desktop to 512 MB RAM phone. Certainly updated the former, but in no mood to update my I9003, come android 5.0, I am not going anywhere...
hopefully
android 5.0
yes android version key lime pie will be able to run on 512 mb ram and it will be smooth due to some tweaks done by google i read a article that says that key lime pie is in testing stage so pray it releases soon and devs make a rom for it very soon pray for the best :good:
just wanna post this great news (if it is really happen) but mr. marshygeek had post this first. btw if this is really happen (praying right now) i hope there will be great custom rom for our Galxy SL device and hoping Samsung also will release Key Lime stock rom.

Hey guys
first thx for helping, im thinking about buying the Experia Arc with the androod 2.3 installed but im kinda afraid cuz very soon the android 3 will come out so i want to ask ya is it possible to update the 2.3 to the new version ?
cheers
3.0 is not available for phones, it's tablet only. 3.1 (Ice Cream Sandwich) was only announced today, and won't be released until October at the earliest, so no one is going to have any information on porting it to any device at this point.

Actually 3.1 is an update to Honeycomb which is soon to be released to the Xoom. Ice Cream Sandwich is 2.4 which includes mixed features from Honeycomb and Gingerbread. Also Honeycomb has been ported to some devices. I got one to work on the HTC Hero, although every port lacks almost every feature because it is from the SDK image and not source as source has yet to be released.

thanks for your replays,
but still whenever the new version come out will i be able to update my Os ? used to have X1 before and to put an official 6.5 was a pain so is it the same with android ? or i can always update to the latest version
thanks again
The Cm7 development tree is gradually incorporating ice cream/honeycomb features into 2.3.4 with "tablet tweaks" while we're all waiting for aosp. Not very many options currently exist besides moving the status bar to the bottom, but the soft buttons are being merged now and most devices currently have 3.0 ports that just need the actual source to be released now to get things like phone.apk and wifi drivers working. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rom dev have a fully working port for the arc the day after google releases the 3.0/2.4 aosp, so I would base your buying decision on the performance of the arc compared to other 2.3 devices currently out or being released this summer.

Upgrading the Android OS is always going to be 'hard' if it is not an official upgrade by the distributors of your given phone. If you are rooted, which for some phones is a difficult process, you can upgrade, albeit that it's not official for your phone.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
From what Sony is announcing you will get the update to whichever version of Android is available past version 2.3 faster than they have released updates in the past. If this is true don't worry so much about the version of Android you're running since 2.3 is actually a very much complete package (in my opinion) and you can also say the same for version 2.2. Anything 2.1 and below is not even worth considering.
Samsung Italy announced that the Samsung update for Galaxy S i9003 Gingerbread to Android will be delayed. The motivation is clear: To avoid delays in updating to version 2.3.5, we have chosen to update the terminal S Galaxy Super Clear LCD (I9003) directly to the latter version of firmware. So still waiting to see the final distribution on this Android smartphone although the consolation would be to have the version 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.4.

It depend on what do you need from your fone
Somebody just crazy about numbers !

Who cares! I think, like we port themes and ROMs we can try to port the 4.0 from SGS or SGSII,rrahigt?
yes,or may build one from stock android.....but it isnt as easy as porting themes!!

It is that easy...It is not easy as porting rom or themes..If it is that easy then why that time when our device only support Froyo,why no devs port gingerbread to our device before official release?
In CM7 also we found difficulties to port it and fix the bugs...it is not easy and need many efforts and experience devs to work on it.Sad to say that our communities also lack of experience devs like skin and amit..
*Just my opinion..
We can try it! I think it is useless. Before dropping into conclusion, I think, we must have atleast some hopes. Galaxy ace,Fit and 5 are gonna get the update, so why not SL? We will obviously get it. If we don't the Asia-pacific team of users in gonna get on the nerve of Sammy!
y android 4.0 or even if there is any android 5.0 if we have all the features available in 2.3.4
if we have tv out and usb otg i wont even bother which version we r usin ..
Final distribution? Sigh. It's not even an old phone. That's pretty annoying.
NIce info !
idiot samsung that the rom I want is 4.0 not 2.3.5!!!

Darn samsung..why not u give announcement that our phone will get ICS in half year 2012! sure we can wait bcoz it more worth
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk
Nobody knows if there is an update for I9003 or not. These are all speculations.. Even Samfirmware.com don´t know it exactly!
BTW, what do you expect from Gingerbread 2.3.5 or Ice Cream Sandwich?
In 2.3.5 there are only Bugfixes and closed security gaps. ICS is only fusion of Tablet-Android and Smartphone-Android.
Really new features will only come with Jelly Bean (that´s android version after ICS) and I´m sure neither the Galaxy S or the Galaxy SLC will gain an update to this version

The 2.3.5 update is important because it fixes at least a security vulnerability in the browser, which may affect you even if you don't use the stock one.
Time to Troll Sammy Big-Time?
Ok I've had the galaxy s 4g since a week after its release date I rooted it soon after leaving it stock basically. Since then I've update to GB 2.3.6 with the k6 kernel. Right now I got a worked k6 kernel with voodoo. I know Samsung has said no to ice cream on the sgs4g but do any of ya'll developer or programs thing you could make it work. And till then what are some good roms to play with till then. O yeah and is there anyway to get it to where I dont need two task killers (the preinstalled and one market) to clear all running ram. Its the worst part of the phone ive debloated it but it still likes to run at 200 mb + without both task killers. Before I put GB it would run 165-180 mb debloated. Any comments would be greatly appreciated

I'd stay away from the ICS question. Read the forum for your answer.
If you want to remove the stock task killer get rid of JobManager.apk.
If you want a great ROM read this post and tweaks.

I hardly believe. Samsung hasnt officially released list of devices supported for kitkat. it is currently rolling out 4.3 for several devices.
use OmniRom until this news gets confirmed.
We shall discuss over this one. better to move this thread to General discussion thread and Rename the thread once more time.
As per Google, Any mobile company must upgrade their device at-least 1 time in its life time.
also, There is 2nd opinion where, Google said, if any device is having 512 MB Ram and 4GB internal memory - Can avail the KK if their company wants.
So, In future, If Samsung wants, then can upgrade it. But as per Link - they have nominate it. It will get KK if only God or Samsung Officials want.

ask MOD to do it on your behalf.
This is like some joke. Theres no way Samsung is bringing kitkat to galaxy R. One may think that we may get official 4.4, because it runs on even 512 mb ram. But if u know your device properly, it was never incapable of running any jelly bean version IF Samsung wanted. And if u know Samsung properly, they won't bother bringing kitkat to long lost device which no one's heard of except their owners.
Also, that cited website is not a popular one. If this was true, the news would have been all over the web. The list has S2 on it, which is big deal.
I think when they nominated devices, they meant the devices capable and not the ones Samsung chose for upgrade. That's all i wanted to say.

How does kitkat has tegra2 support!
Just out of curiosity, how does kitkat has support for tegra2. If my understanding is correct, google has stopped supporting tegra2 4.2 onwards (or is it only CM). If kitkat indeed has support for tegra2, then oneday omnirom can see a stable release version right (we only have nightlies now)?
Also the support matters only for core apps that directly run os kernel. The ones that run on dalvic vm doesn't have have to worry about this right?

Yes. It is only CM that doesn't support tegra2.
Google uses neon instructions and since tegra2 lacks neon we don't and will never have support for features depending on neon. However, there is always a workaround so we just have to adjust with the workaround provided to us. Albeit nightly, Omni is stable enough to be used as daily driver. There are few bugs but those will be fixed over time. Omni will eventually get stable someday.
Since Android Oreo 8.0 will release in a few days
I just want to know that will the developers create a custom rom based on the new android 8
I have been using my Sony Xperia L for so many years & I have used from 4.2 to 7.1 All of it
and now I'm using the nougat rom its very stable and I like it very much
If custom Oreo is created please give me a reply .Thanks :laugh:
Whoa, slow down there cowboy.
It's not even out yet - and it usually takes a couple of months for the most popular devices to start getting good ROM builds. The devs can't work that quickly; don't forget that these are not official OEM updates.
The OEMs get the source code earlier, and they have entire teams working on them. Error checking (and fixing) takes a lot less time when you have teams that big. That's why it seems like they release stable builds "right off the bat" - but in reality they've been working on them for a couple of months.
If the developers don't want to do it, they won't. If they want, they will. Don't nag them about this, and don't be ungrateful.

Sorry for being so quick
But I saw a video about Android 8 beta running on a pixel device. And I really liked it
That's the reason that I asked about the ROM
And for making a ROM it's really hard and I know it after reading your reply
I thank all the developers for the amazing work they have done and I'm really grateful.
I'll wait.
Thanks
Now that sony has released some info to create custom oreo aosp rom i request for the dev who work hard for our Xperia L . Is any dev planing to build a rom oreo based .If yes thanks
