I think our devices will get it too as the image states that the goal will be to give everybody an amazing android experience

i wish we would get it but well, don't get your hopes too high

4.3 = jelly bean
4.4 = kitkat ??
i think if got update from SONY, our device will get 4.2 first .

Sony will never upgrade budget phones beyond 4.0/4.1. You guys will remain forever here.

Yes!Google need us like android as KitKat(famous food,I also like)
Sent from my ST26i using xda app-developers app

Personally I doubt that our devices (Miro/Tipo/E/J) will not receive KitKat.
Reasons being;
1) Sony hasn't given Miro and Tipo 4.1+ nor have they given E and J 4.2+
2) Developers haven't wanted to give Miro and Tipo 4.2+ nor have they given E and J 4.3.
3) Although it is Google's aim to release 4.4 to as many devices as they can we are all low budget and low end specs meaning that there would have to be some serious optimization.
We may as well face that our devices have reached their EOL now.

We have 4.1.2 and this is the end. Deal with it. If you want newer android, buy new device or learn porting.
There is no sense in creating threads like this one.

Of course we will not get it from sony, even not from FXP Team. We are talking about some talented developer here.

sooooo maybe we get kitkat from sony but 10% chance but i im relatively sure that we get it from fxp ... but again: there is problem with drivers ???or not???

Talking about Sony they only cares the new devices , like the Z series ,maybe its time to change to a new phone or unlock the bootloader and wait for the developers
Sorry for my bad english​

I think we wont get any new updates for Xperia J. We get .33 update and what was new? - Arabian language was added!

I know it's easy to say but, I think FXP or any other great developer should (at least) try porting 4.4 to our devices (JLo) because we have the "minimum requirements". We should keep in mind that JB requirements are "bigger" than KK ones, and Google said:
RAM (or memory) is one of the most expensive parts of a phone, and now Android can run comfortably on the 512MB of RAM devices (like JLo) that are popular in much of the world, bringing the latest goodies in Android 4.4 within reach for the next billion smartphone users.

So KK would be great! There's no harm in trying.

FXP already said they are not supporting Xperia J anymore and you guys should stop hoping for upgrades to budget phones from Sony.

Maybe is not that impossible, maybe someone has the time and the will to build a kit kat rom for tipo,or others in that family. We just have to wait and see

FXP's CM10 port is the only custom rom available as of yet,
but it's not completely developped, and some functions do not work (correctly). I honestly advise you to stay on stock for now.

So, is this poll the real-thing? I mean, I don't know the dev etc. but I've been trying everything to get CM on L, and this was probably the most "hopeful" attempt I've seen so far and for the first time I see a (supposed) dev inside the "L" scene.
Can we really expect an official CM port? :fingers-crossed:

hopefully yes because he is one of the brains of Cyanogenmod for Xperia SP and is now going official so theres a possibility of even having an official CM for Xperia L
Great news, if we have CM then really everythink is for us. Like Paranoid, Miui or maybe even Ubuntu Touch ! Hope there will be stable version as quick as possible.
CM Bringup.
Hello Xperia L friends.
It's Brinly Taylor here - @uberlaggydarwin here. The thread OP is correct about the conclusion and I do plan to acquire a device for development in the near future as soon as I can try get myself a device. Quite broke lately but it will get better so dev will probably have to wait until I can get myself a device to continue bring up. Look's like you'll wait until I can pull together some money to buy a device

Thank you, I was starting to regret buying the Xperia L. This week's news (or, rumour) about L getting the 4.2.2 (or 4.3) along with the fact that you will be developing for L made me happy.
This is amazing hope you can pull it off

(Xperia L) (C210X) New Firmware 15.3.A.1.12 Certified

Hey Guys,
Looks like Sony is not gonna release 15.3.A.0.26. Instead they are going for 15.3.A.1.12. As there is 1 instead of 0, we can say that this will be a pretty huge and effective update. It even might be 4.3 Jellybean as Xperia SP was just certified with 4.3. I will keep you guys posted with more info.
And pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease press THANKS....
BTW, Here is proof:

no chance for android 4.3. moreover, Sony has announced a long time. I recall that it was also updated with 15.0.A.1.36 on 15.0.A.2.17 and also did not change anything in the android version.
two upcoming uodates i think last one is 4.3 and it will release after update all other premium sony phones and may be in February
thats a good news, i wonder why Fw .27 is not coming out until now so they have a new firmware..

Either this is photoshopped,either only you can see that page.I accessed the link from your photo and it's telling me that 4.2.2 is last version.Furthermore,it's written: "The release started: 2013.12.25" ,which is tomorrow.Hope I'm wrong...:cyclops:

I really hope they fixed the Camera flash issue, as I had to reflash Fw 4.1.2 because of that.
Inviato dal mio C2105 utilizzando Tapatalk
I don't think it will be 4.3, the step is too small, it will be still 4.2.2 i think with some improvements, notching special.
It's surely gona be bug fixes. Hope sony gives us a bug free jellybean atleast :fingers-crossed:
Lol @ abielzuliom, nice try. If you look closely at the image you can see it has been edited (poorly, probably in MS Paint ). Anyway I am very sure that this update is not 4.3 but is actually 4.2 with bug fixes/new features?
Nice try nonetheless. :silly:
This is not Android 4.3
If Android gets upgraded. Sony changes the second number in the firmware. Not the fourth
Well then, I hope it fixes my tearing screen.
No any official announcement by SONY.
So it not confirmed!
It may be 4.3 or 4.2 bug fix
Build number is just code
It does not have any sign of 4.3 or 4.2

Ok guys, you have your last chance. We have been too good for you, but fine it's your call. We are aware of the situation and ignoring our warnings will result as a temporary account suspension.

I can't understand you guys crying about updates. Look, I use an Xperia S (with LB because UB is impossible) and so I'm stuck with 4.1.2 - forever. Looking at the Xperia L 4.2.2 Stock ROM, I'm overhelmed by the huge amount of features, seriously!
Also we'll soon have a stable CM11 so me and many others can start building other aftermarket firmwares...

Nobody cares about update. But all want the CM11. If we get it, all stupid discussions and threads stops. That is the point.
It`s just very sad that most off midrange devices are not supported by devs. I had HTC Desire X, and we had the same situation there, only mods to official firmware, and 1 lagging version of CM11. Actually that is why I sold it and bought the XL. A few years ago things were not the same, like now, almost every device had a few great roms... But now seems like amount of good devs become lower, or they become lazier
Well, try to appreciate what you have... 4.2.2 is not bad, at least. And hope one day CM11 will come to us.
Thread cleaned, please keep it on topic.

From this thread:
NOTE FOR EVERYBODY
Copy & paste this answer in any thread like this.
Android 5.0 Lollipop from Team Canjica probably will never see the light. In our opinion, Galaxy S Advance and in generally STE-based devices are too weak to handle well another Android major release.
The fact is that more time passes, more OS and applications become heavier and complex.
Was a pain to get a "stable" (between quotes since still has some issues like huge battery drain, that can't be fixed) Kitkat.
Another major release means heavier, more complex, CPU even with OC is too slow to handle and execute well threads, RAM memory is too little and this means lags, impossibility to run big apps and the Mali 400 single core GPU is too weak for more complex graphic effects in games that will come and especially in transitions between menus, pull down status bar etc. The last perfect major release for this device is Jelly Bean 4.3, to build any major release means that we need to research and find (with A LOT OF TESTING) how to fix bugs, means that we need to develop new OMX patches to make camera and videos working. KitKat is okay but huge battery drain and a lot of lags are signal that it's the last major release that these STE devices can handle in a non-stable way against JB 4.3 that it's almost (to not say "totally") stable. Now, stop a moment and imagine Lollipop, totally ruined user experience. Do you wanna live together with device lagging 99/100 times (1/100 without lags rightly after power on, maybe) and with charger always connected? We should be lords of our devices, not slaves. Nobody of us still uses a STE device and without is totally impossible to develop what has never been developed, if you want to keep updated I'm sure that you would change device asap, today even a 100€ device is more powerful than these. Janice will be 3 years old on April 2015, it's just the future coming...
We loved this device, development, known good guys here... Officially this device died on 4.1, Team Canjica gave you 3 major releases!!!
Never forget

Look on list of non working stuff there. Probably he will release it for our device too, to gain more money from ads. :laugh:
Mclaw is shady.. Enough said.

Nope, sorry, we all have new devices. @diego-ch is the last one to join the qcom familiy (LG G3), @Rox- has a Galaxy S3 Neo, and if I remember correctly, @frapeti has a Galaxy S4. And @zwliew (for those who don't know him, he as contributed a lot to the kernel we use for both janice and codina, he had the latter, codina) got a Moto X 2013 (I think that's right?). Heck, even cocafe has a new qcom device (Xperia z1).
And because Lollipop (and CM12, and OminROM versions of it too) has arrived, we are focusing on our new main devices. So, for now, no Lollipop love for janice (and Antares already said what we think as whole), yet still we may do something on the future (no promises).
@Paul L. And olso no chance for updated CM 10.x builds ?

We are tired to work on a device that nobody of us still has...

Guys, it's simple: if you want to have the latest software updates will have to buy a new phone . Why .. ? because everything moves and is logical and normal that the developers change their phones and stop giving importance to the devices that few people have these days . The S Adv is a phone of 2012. Personally I still have this device because it fulfills , for now, my requirements . I know not everyone can change their phone but as I said , everything progresses and is logical that requirement . We are going great KitKat . We can not ask for much more .
Regards .
yes, there is
i booted up cm12 on my s advance, it has some bugs.. like vibration, some sensors, and others
for those still waiting look in original development thread
,near stable cm 12 has been built by hastalafiesta.notable bugs include video recording doesnt work(stills work fine though),auto brightness(manual adjustment works),wifi direct,compass,gps.the rest(calls,data,wifi) work just fine.ui is fluid enough.i suggest u flash the 12/05/2015 build.personally tested the 03/05 build ,the latesf one only got better
install process is same like any kitkat rom:
for the 12/05/2015 build,simply clean install over stock jellybean firmware(installed thru odin of course).no need to install any special kernels in the intermediate process,simply clean intall thru temp cwm recovery.just remember install seems blocked at "found ext4 partition at mmcblk03,05,03...."something like that,dont panic its still installing...takes nearly 30 mins for the install to complete
