Android Kitkat on our phones? - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

Saw today an article stating that one of the android kitkats goal is to uniformize the android ecosystem. Meaning the there are a lot of android versions still out there and still selling, even though they are outdated, like GB. Kitkat is design to work even on low end devices like ours, with low ram. It's mainly because developers have a hard time with apps compatibility for different android versions... So, therevwont be any excuse to.why providers shouldnt update to 4.4. My phone, for instance, JLo, came out hardly a year ago, and already support as ended. I paid little for it, but thats for the hardware specs. No excuse not to update it to 4.4 when it comed out. Do you think it will ever happen?

It's almost sure that sony won't update our phones. CM 10.3 from FXP? Well, it will be their good wish in fact. But honestly I think thats is to soon for such speculations Time will show. Greetings

not officially but

if you've used Android 4.1 or later on a phone or tablet with 1GB of RAM, you know things can get a little tight in the memory department. That's what makes newer and slightly underpowered devices like the Lenovo Yoga a little disappointing. Google has decided to trim the fat with Android 4.4 in an initiative they've christened "Project Svelte." This isn't a single change, it's a wide range of additions to the Android API and optional hardware configurations designed to make KitKat run smoothly on devices with as little as 512MB of system memory.
According to the new 4.4 developer page, Project Svelte starts with recommendations and options targeted at device manufacturers. Specifically:
Dalvik JIT code cache tuning
kernel samepage merging (KSM)
swap to zRAM
tune out-of-memory levels for processes
set graphics cache sizes
control memory reclaim
When it comes to pure software, core processes have been trimmed to use less memory and protect system memory from hungry apps. Android will also launch concurrent services in sequence instead of all at once to prevent slowdown. Imagine it as cleaning out the Startup folder in Windows, except that it's all happening behind the scenes. Developers also have access to the new ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice API, allowing memory-hogging features to be enabled and disabled as needed. Google will be integrating this feature into its own first-party apps, so even those with more powerful hardware should see at least some benefit.
Project Svelte isn't going to magically make older devices compatible with 4.4 - even Google's own Galaxy Nexus (with 1GB of RAM) isn't getting an official update, likely because of the aging OMAP SoC. But this will hopefully help devices like the original Nexus 7 and Nexus 4, not to mention upcoming low-end phones that will launch with 4.4, to better handle resources as apps become more hardware intensive.

isn´t there a problem with the cpu driver , ithink i heard something like that???
send from my extremly old notebook that has only 512mb too XD

no. no. no. and once again no.

so i think it´s possible that sony gives us an update ... my dream: xperia j in aosp would be cool and i hope that become real cause android kitkat is for low end´s so it is possible that our device add to aosp
and it´s only my opinion

Of course it's never coming to Xperia Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo, J, E. You guys will remain on Android 4.0/4.1 forever. You guys must remember, you are all the budget, low end Sony phones. Sony rather put their effort on more expensive phones. Besides, even the dual core, 1GB RAM, Galaxy Nexus is not getting Android 4.4.

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

Galaxy Nexus doesn't get KitKat.
Because it is google market strategy.

Same for Sony: it's a marketing strategy.
Sony will save development dollars not upgrading budget phones like Xperia E or Tipo and focus resources on phones like Xperia Z or S.

almost had heartattack reading topic name :S
we dont have 2.3.3, and you are dreaming about 4.0?
Well let me read the cards...errrr
Some one is flying high. Anyways I can't see why not with a little magic of the dev community.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
i'm shire it will come also for o3d by lg or through the great developers in this forum.
but why do you what it already? maybe it's crap? i doubt it but maybe....
and one of the golden rules:
be patient, good things need their time
I wouldn't be surprised if 4.0 won't run on this phone due to the ram, even if it does its going to be well into next year before we get it, I would be surprised if we have it for next summer judging how far behind LG are now, this phone and the Optimus X2 should have launched with Gingerbread.
if cyanogen support this device, there will be 4.0 for us

True but all the S3D core code it open to the devs thanks to TI as I understand it.
Also it's not even sure it's called 4.0, they haven't set a version number have they? and the number is just a indicator, the jump from 2.3 will be stuff like optimization in the system for dual core, and people still talking about too little RAM is just poppycock.
Most likely performance for the O3D will be better with Ice Cream Sandwich, might even beat all other phones as it's (so far) the only one with dual RAM and dual Channels which keeps the dual-core CPU from being bottlenecked by the rest of the system.
I have to admit, this talk of "ooooh it might not run version xx.yy of Android" or "ooooh what if the new uber fantastic app doesn't work because it ONLY has 512MB RAM" makes me laugh.
Why? Well lets look at what the problems have been in the past:
OS Partition is too small:
This was a problem when the OS was written to fit inside the small flash built-in to the CPU package. As the OS has gotten bigger this had to be solved one way or another. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think its enough to say this is solved now.
Not enough RAM:
Fitting an advanced OS into 64MB or even 256MB of RAM is tricky, especially when the core OS is based on code from PCs with a lot more RAM than that and the luxury of a swap partition.
However 512MB was the turning point on PC where RAM became less of an issue and in the right configuration you could live without swap. So logically this should hold true, probably moreso, for Android. Because Android until recently was already running in 128MB/256MB without the advantage of swap space.
No Drivers:
Many are open source, we are also working with hardware a lot more standardised than it once was.
I can see from a glance that there are a lot of similarities between my N900 at the hardware level and the O3D. If you are dealing with devices that are basically upgrades of old hardware designs, drivers are a lot easier to deal with - especially if they are open source.
Lack of GPU or certain CPU instructions:
Many older devices could not handle newer Android because they lacked a proper GPU or the CPU did not have the right instructions. This is similar to what happened on PC for a while, when multimedia suddenly became big. Like on the PC once all these multimedia instructions became commonplace it was no longer really an issue. I believe we are at the same place now with high-end Android hardware.
So I really would be surprised to find a newer version of Android outright not be able to run on the O3D, for quite some time.

[Q] Single Core or Dual Core phone which to buy

Hi,
I am currently tight on budget and the only phones i can afford are Sony Xperia Neo V or Sony Xperia U.
My main usage will be trying out different roms on the phone, medium gaming, browsing. Camera on both phones is enough for my requirement.
After buying any of the phone i will have to use it atleast for 1 year or 2.
Concerns:
Considering todays market and this multiple core talk should i go for Sony Xperia U?
Sony Xperia U has no expandable memory, will it be a problem from modding perspective?
Is dual core necessary to stay relevant for upcoming android os ?

DUALCORE single wont be able to keep up with upcoming games android os etc if you need a budget phone look on the internet for a galaxy s2 i have seen them for £200 do some looking around and you will find a good price
but if you cant get the dualcore one single core is for windows

Moving to Q&A
You didn't actually say your budget and the prices for the phones you've listed.
Based on what you've actually said, go for the Xperia U. Dual core will make a world of difference if you plan to game "medium". Single core in my opinion is dying out. One worry about both phones though, is the fact that they both only have 512mb of RAM. That's a little small in my opinion.
Back to the thing about budget, SGS2s can now be purchased for under $400 AUD if you look around. That would be the best deal for your money - if you could afford it.
On top of that, the Xperia U looks much better

[Q] Why is iPhone still faster than any Android Quad-Core Phone?

Hi,
my friend and I are comparing which Phone is better.. The iOS Phones or the Android Phones.
In my opinion an iPhone is not a real Smartphone because you can't really do nothing with it..
There is just a damn Appdrawer without a damn Home screen.
Just Apps and some other notification stuff.
An Android Phone has almost everything that you need. You can even Update a Ps3 system with just an Android Phone.
You can build your own system and run your Rom with your taste.
But why the hell has the iPhone 5 still compared to HTC One X or Sony Xperia Z a better Benchmark result?
I mean the iPhone got a Dual core with just 1 Ghz per Core. But it beat a Quad-Core Phone.
For example I got a Sony Xperia S and how you know it has a 1,5Ghz Dual-Core hardware. And STILL the iPhone runs Asphalt 7 or Shadowgun: Deadzone better than the Xperia S
How that can be possible??

To answer the question in title.
Iphones would seem faster because its software is only written for one device.. the Iphone.
When you build the hardware and the software you able to really optimise it for that device.
This would be possible with Android but for a device manufacture would take far to much work at the lower levels of android itself, and they simply do not have the time or resources to do that (After all we do want updates within 6 months of google pushing them).
If you however get a Nexus device built for stock Android you will see what android can do

Yes and Java android implementation has a really time spent garbage collector, IOS programs are written over Objective C with just in time memory management.
No garbage collector = faster app
The on-the-surface reasons are a fast and capable CPU and GPU, but mainly the fact that apps have a very limited ability to run in the background. There are more technical reasons, as mentioned above, but that's the gist of it.
iOS's efficiency and performance comes from its heavy software limitations.
Okay, so mainly it has to do with optimizing the hardware with the software right?

Macs use the same parts as PC's. It's just that they say, "Alright, these are the parts we're going to use this year. We only need drivers and software compatible with these parts. Anything extra is up to the manufacturers." It's the same thing with Windows, but like you said, just a wider array of devices and parts.
Intuitiveness has nothing to do with hardware and interfacing software; it has everything to do with aesthetics and software design.
Okay thanks for your answers guys
for me, Iphone is only good for old people, who doesnt really care about their gadget, they only use it for show off, without knowing the "true" potential of their phone.
with android, we could squeeze the juice from the phone out untill its screaming, lol, and our device will worth every dime and penny we spent, like many of people only know that they have Intel i7 processor without knowing that their i7 processor can beat up so easily with Overclocked core 2 Quad processors.
just my 2 cents though
There's more to it than benchmarking though. I actually carry and use both devices. My DNA is a good bit faster than my iPhone with some processes. Other things the iPhone is faster with. But as stated above, the apple hardware and software is highly optimized, which is why iPhone users don't see force closes or random reboots except for the occasional rare extreme problem.
They both have their pros and cons, there's a lot of young people also that the iPhone fits better than android.
There's a lot of people in this world that think differently than me. I did not see the dialer or keyboard on my DNA until after it was unlocked and rooted and had a custom rom and kernel overclocked. I didn't realize until later that I didn't even open much on the interface until after I had installed the software I wanted. Lots of people wouldn't want to take an off contract 700 dollar device and blindly void the warranty, but that's all I bought mine for is the hardware and ability to build my rom and interface to fit my needs.
Sent from my DNA... S-Off like a baws
apple not only manufactures its own software, but also hardware, hence it has better control to customize their hardware according to the software or vice versa.

Apple doesn't manufacture anything. Most of their components come from Samsung and other manufacturers like Qualcomm. They work ONLY on the software.

i saw the nexus 5 benchmark fight with the iphone 5s, NEXUS 5 can't reach near iphone 5s , actually i don't understand how is this possible and i don't believe that optimization makes iphone to this much faster, when we are looking forward the case of samsung galaxy note 3 and iphone 5s just an optimization can't beat the 8 core and 3Gb ram with 1.3gh 2 core with 1gb ram, may be the precision is the key

[P999 CAN HOPE????]Android 4.4 Support To Devices With As Little As 512MB Of RAM

If you've used Android 4.1 or later on a phone or tablet with 1GB of RAM, you know things can get a little tight in the memory department.

Same here, Knotes. If it wasn't for stock 2.3.4 gingerbread driving me insane with its lag, inconsistency and overall weak performance I would have never stumbled upon XDA and have rooted my phone to make it a somewhat halfway decent device (thanks to the amazing devs we've had) lol.
Sadly, I don't use my G2X anymore, I've gone back to using my Nokia E73/Mode Blackberry clone semi-smart phone which uses the obsolete Symbian OS, doesn't have a touch screen, has a real keypad, and does what I need adequately such as Skype, GPS with maps (I recently used it in Italy for a month), Wifi and phone calls. It has great battery life, very good audio quality, great cell radio range, easily fits in my pocket, is extremely well made and durable ( it fell from the roof on top of the 3rd floor of my house, while I was trimming tree branches, onto a concrete sidewalk and bounced into some bushes and only had a few scratches on the bezel at the top left corner. I do use a currently cheapest available Asus Android 7" tablet, that cost $150 new and runs Android 4.2.2 and it has had 3 updates since I bought it 2 months ago. It gets used when I need an app that runs on Android and to surf the net. I will never buy a new Android phone again and definitely not an LG at all, even used, because of what happened to the G2X.
No no and no g2x is dead period

Hi there !!! What if someone could actually build one Rom for p999 .... Even Huawei y201 Pro that is working on 512 MB ram has a CM11 based kitkat 4.4.2 rom available. It would be great if someone comes out and do this.:good:
It can be done but nobody can figure out the radio issue so it would be WiFi only. That is what killed this phone.

No that's pretty much it. There's a trick you can do to flash p990 roms, I'm not sure how much development they have going on over there. I actually don't have this phone anymore but if you use one of their nvflash utilities you basically can repartition your phone like theirs except for the radio which doesn't work anyway. If you're up for it there's been a few people who have done it. I make no guarantees. Godspeed.
Thanks For the heads up !!! I will head to the Optimus 2x section and see what i can find there ....

Why Sony? Why?! Sony Xperia E and Nokia Lumia 520

First thing I want to say that I'm not a big fan of Sony and Sony Xperia E is my first and the last device from Sony.
My point is how can Sony make this much worst smartphone !
I mean the hardware... Just look at it damn! Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 series processor with 512 MB RAM that can't even handle the load of Android 4.1.1 .
I don't know what is the worst part a sluggish performance of hardware of Sony's not so much interesting skin of Android which is giving more load on the hardware.
Now, I will talk about Nokia Lumia 520 ! Just look at the phone man!
Sexy body!
Sexy hardware!
Sexy OS!
The massive power of Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Krait 1 GHz dual core with 512 MB RAM. WOW!
And the best thing is even the Android is almost free and Windows 8 OS needs licence for the phone.. Both the phones costs almost at the same price.*
Is there any solution of this sluggish performance of Sony Xperia E ?! I have tried everything even CM 10 @ 1.3GHz overclocking but this disgusting phone remains the same and lags as heck.

1. Why compare mate? Before buying a phone,you seriously should have checked up responses and reviews.
2. Have patience. There are many devices,who have sluggish performance. But there are also devs.We still have to wait for @joebonrichie to make 3.4 kernel for our device,which FXP did not.
3. Wait for devs to come up with 4.4,I'm sure that will not disappoint you.
4. You just have to agree that it is not a gaming phone,by using CM10,I sure have no lag at the ui.
Although game lag is present.
5. If you wanted a gaming phone,you should have had to pay higher.

Alright a bad-joke ! I mean so few developers are developing our ROMs and Kernels and last but not the least we should not beg for ROMs from the developers and stop abusing our phones by not giving overload which shortens the life of phones.

Look at the number of Cm10.x roms available for them.
Devs have to take it seriously.
Yeah, the 520's hardware's a lot better than ours, but I got the E because I wanted Android - it's much more open (by default) than Windows is.
Yes. Right.

Yes, You are right because I see LG Optimus L5 like low config. phone having variety of available ROMs higher than CM 10 i.e CM 10.2 and maybe CM 11 is under development. :3 and when I searched for XE I got Babaji Ka Thullu.

Haha.
Maybe request someone to provide a blind build?[Actually kernel is only thing which is stopping us from higher development, we do know joebonrichie is working on it,we can hope that he's successful]
Or maybe just ask some dev from other sections about the RIL issue fix.
Once that's fixed,I believe @NSDCars5 will be working on Paranoid Android and Miui as well.
All we can do is stay calm.

Yes dude. I did it for the same just because I wanted to taste some Android and I think it was my mistake to choose XE.
Hehe I am waiting for the future releases of Nokia and will get a Nokia and if Microsoft messes up Nokia the only option left for me is probably then Apple iPhones. or jolla phones with sailfish OS which is in the starting stage so not so mature but still I love it because it is funded by Nokia and run by ex-employees of Nokia who left the company after Windows came into Nokia.
My point of this post is Sony is such a conservative company which made phone in so low cost and selling with higher profit margin and Sony also doesn't provide any major software updates for such budget phones and as a result most of the people who suffers under major lags in System UI chooses to unlock bootloader and tries CyanogenMod ROMs at their own risks.

Yeah.
Keep Calm and Wait.
btw MIUI ? Are you kidding ? I mean is it possible for our phones beause I couldn't find any major development threads of miui for our devices.

Possible? Certainly. They can get Jelly Bean on the HTC G1 (first Android phone, for those who don't know), MIUI on our phones would be relatively much easier.

Thank you @NeoTrix. :good:
Lumia 520 is nothing more than trash compared to Xperia SP or V so don't mock Sony, Are You Poor? Why did you get Xperia E and not those better Phones Sony has to offer. Xperia E is a budget phone don't expect a phone that cheap to be good for gaming and such
If you don't want it then don't buy it, sheesh there are many other android phones that are better and stronger for those with money

Don't trash on him, man! He just makes the point that the Lumia 520 has better hardware than the E for the same price. I agree with you, this phone wasn't meant for gaming. But he just compares!
And yes, some of us don't have that much money

If you're still low on cash, I would indeed suggest him to not buy a Nexus 4.
Check: http://swappa.com.
You can find some really nice, already-used(mint condition most of the time!) devices, plus it's very save.
You pay, you get your phone. Done.
Just want to recommend this, because even the Nexus 4 is getting old. And the Nexus 5(although cheaper than other high-end phones), is still not cheap .
Swappa is also supported by XDA. Not trying to advertise, just giving a tip.
