I have Xperia Miro I want to upgrade it to kitkat but officially it haven't been released for Xperia miro so what i have to do to get my miro upgraded
Hi @Jayesh4all
Since there isn't an official Kitkat update for your device released, your only resort is to use custom firmware. It seems there are Alpha Cyanogenmod 11 builds for this device.
What is Cyanogenmod?
Code:
CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors.
CyanogenMod is based of AOSP and is the closest you'll come to stock Android. Bear in mind that this build is still in Alpha stages and will be buggy.
This is the only way you can use Android KitKat on you Xperia Miro.
Cheers!

thanks alot for your help :laugh:
so which would be better for now Kitkat or Jelly bean and if i update to jelly bean will i be able to upgrade to kilkat in future ??
This: {MIRO/TIPO/J/E}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM10 - FreeXperia Project seems to be the least buggy CyanogenMod build. Yes there is a good chance that they resolve the bugs for the CM11 ( Kitkat ) build and make it fully usable.
Cheers!

Hello everybody,
I was wondering, when will CyanogenMod 12 comes out? Will they still support all of the devices they have been supporting? Or at least, in specific, our device?
This is very exciting if/when we get this on our device. I personally will just wait on a CM as stock never really does it for me.
I know I probably shouldn't bring this up, but I can't wait to blow my friend's new iOS 8. 1 update out of the water with CM12/L.
Share your thoughts and views on the next version of CM.
First offical nightlies in december first,first snapshots will be in january.Already we have unoffical cm12 builds.

Well, Nameless ROM have burnt CM12 in ashes. According to my experience, Nameless ROM 5.0.2 is way more stable than CM12. It can be used as a daily driver.
Hi all,
I've a question for you guys.
I've a SG3 (i9300), I'd like to know if using the cyanogen device tree for my device (located here) is possible to build AOSP source code.
if yes, then it looks like that would be possible to compile Lollipop AOSP for my device.. am I right ?
Thank you very much.
Cyanogen IS AOSP... Lol. Its AOSP with added features. If that's not an Android 5.0 lollipop kernel source, then it won't boot out of the box. Your best bet would be to get some Android 4.4 kernel source and do ramdisk edits and what not needed to get an Android 5.0 ROM booting. Alternatively, if your device is CM supported, I know they were talking about releasing CM12 soon, you could just hold out to see if your device is supported. Outside of CM, many custom ROMs (AOKP, Pacman, etc.) Take it upon themselves to release ROMs as well. Example: PACman had a 4.4 custom ROM out and in circulation, even before cyanogenmod, so u never know!

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I'd like to know this only for learning purpose, I'm not going to compile the AOSP
What I don't understand, is why adding the device tree to the lollipop AOSP is not sufficient to boot out of the box, can you please explain this in details ? Many thanks.
CyanogenMod for android devices.... pls note that its under experimental. So be Careful
Here is the link for the rom http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/98090/cm-11-20150112-NIGHTLY-sprout.zip

No its not bugless... it is in development process... its yet not ready for daily use... if you are a dev or a geek then its for you to experiment... ... :good::good:
Hi guys!I want to become an android developer and I know about the AOSP project,but I have not found based of android versions.I want worker on ICS ROM for galaxy pocket(GT-S5300)or cyanogenmod 9,but on a "pure"ROM,without any modification,like nexus android version,for worked on it and optimize for any devices.
1)How I can optimized an android version like Nexus devices for a specific device?
2)Where I can download the necessary for a ROM or a ROM to be optimized?
Thanks
Simply start by downloading cori's source and aosp android of your choice, then edit & merge things from source to aosp then compile.
Has anyone tried the official Sony AOSP roms yet? Specifically this:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/open-devices/latest-updates/
Is it stable?
I haven't but i suggest installing the Marshmallow Concept it's literally Vanilla Android and it's perfect.
