yes of course we will.
but i think we will get it, with the release of the z4 next year...
Someone just notice that the led on the left up corner blink the border too and not just the point.
We'll most likely get Android L yeah, and most likely without full app2sd as this is a default android security thing.
We'll 100% Get Android L, i'm not sure about Moving apps to SD Card though
Android l doesn't include again native support app2sd. Make nosense build a smartphone with 16gb of internal memory that i'll full it with 3 or 4 gameloft game and can't use the external sd for install them. Well if there the drm problem will get solved with the root and sd cardfix or batter if there was a way to make a raid between both memory the problem doesn't subsist
we better get android L..... This phone is shipping with 4.4.4... no way it says 4.4.4 forever -.-
It will almost definitely get Android L. It's only just released and L is round the corner so the lifecycle of support for the Z3 will incorporate L (albeit delayed while Sony do their customisations). Of course, if you unlock the bootloader you can stick custom roms on and there will definitely be Android L roms available. Hopefully a root exploit will be found before that so we can unlock without losing the DRM keys.

Sony already announced that all the phones in the main Xperia line will be getting the upgrade to L, starting with the Z3 around February. Final code will be going up on November 3rd, so a few months after that, late winter/early spring for the official update.
App2SD, no idea. I've been surprisingly content with 32gb onboard on most of my devices, so I'm gonna worry about that problem much later.

I've got recently a sony xperia S(Lt26i) running gingerbread.After a week i received OTA update which transformed it into ICS 4.0.4.
Now, the problem is I'm a die hard gamer and loves to play them on a big screen also with the help of a ps3 controller' so, In order to connect my handset with ps3 controller I need to root my device. Though there is also an alternative of livedock but it is not currently available in india.
So, kindly help me considering above issue of How to root my device safely and easily with some app? Marginally I would also like to know that if i root my phone , then my phone's warranty will be dispatched but recently i was surfing and came to know that one could also unroot device so that it should not be noticeable by the company if something goes wrong!! Am i right?? If yes PlzzZ let me know about the above procedure in detail as I m a bit fat minded and like to know and learn in depth
thank you

So, we have most of our illustrious developers jumping ship to the OPO ...
Well ,we can't do much about that...but I'm planning on hanging onto my One X for quite some time.
But guess what - Android L is soon going to be released, with its promise of superior battery life, and higher performance ART (better than KitKat ART),etc. This is also going to be a difficult port with all these changes...as well as a rumored SD card access change.
The HTC One already has an Android L port that works... So I'm wondering how to get our (erstwhile) devs to make one last stand.
Anybody else interested in contributing to a bounty?
I'm thinking the criteria to be - first working Android L ROM, built from source, with perfectly working ART and SDCARD ( not including GPS, etc in this...because I fear they are binary driver blobs).
Morning all,
I have a Z5 being delivered tomorrow
I've been a Windows Phone user for the past 4 years, and prior to that iPhone, but never android - this is a new adventure!!
I have a few questions below, but mostly i'd just like people to post any tips for a new user that might be specific to the Z5 - there are loads of 'new android user' guides around but they all seem generic and quite low level...
Things that i'm interested in:
1) Is marshmallow out yet? If not, when can I expect it and how will i get it
2) What is rooting, and what benefits does it really give me?
2a) Can I install stock android on the Xperia Z5 by rooting? People seem to tell me that Stock is better than the stuff added by some manufacturers...
3) I'm primarily a microsoft services user (Outlook.com Email & Calendar / OneDrive / MS Band) - am I going to be able to as fully integrate these things as they were on Windows Phone?
Thanks!

Hi.
1- more than likely you'll have to plug it in to a pc to get the update
2- root gives you access to the system, on the Z5 i personally wouldn't bother yet
2a - Sony is pretty much stock and not full of bloat
3- they have apps available so i assume all will be good

Can I ask why you say not to bother on the Z5 (and why 'yet')?
Just trying to fully understand the pros and cons

Better to wait for root for locked bootloader, because you will need to unlock it if you want to root it now. Sony really loves to put their drm keys in there and if you unlock it, you'll lose the camera algorithms, bionz engine, x-reality and many more features. I prefer waiting than unlocking the bootloader.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to add locks teen widgets? Reading around it seems this was disabled in marshmallow...
Hi
I have a Blackberry Z30 lying in my drawer, and I have been thinking of trying to make an Android build for it. Yes, I realise this would be a massive undertaking, but considering the parts in it are fairly standard, drivers shouldn't be an issue. The larger issue is the bootloader. My particular Z30 is a little special, in that it is a pre production device. However, I have no idea how to even check if it has a locked bootloader. Has anyone seriously tried to look at any BB10 devices, and how one might go about loading an Android build onto one? I'm looking at this as a long term side project for learning and to have fun.
very nice try

I have the same BlackBerry Z30 device, waiting for 10.3.3 to see what's changed in the OS. Do you think it's possible to build for it an updated Android runtime based on Marshmallow or Nougat with Google services that works alongside BB10 OS instead of old Android 4.3 runtime that our devices have now?

To be perfectly honest, I would think that's much harder than building Android for it.
I think that would be hard too. you might take a look at Blackberry Link app and find how it works with this Qualcom device, I have no idea how to, but someone might know, that aplication loads the firmware when you get a BB bricked. But in my personal opinion its a great device, the BB10 OS is perfect for my needs, so I think tha would be better finding solutions for Google services on the BB10. a lot of them can be patched but there are a lot of bugs on them. In my opinion that will be a good start.
I don't see any updates for Cusrom, are these XZs outdated? I do not understand
its not specific for XZs,
over all SONY has same treatment from developer side!
reasons?
there are many but one MAJOR reason in my view is
sony xperia is not popular device and low sales, less users, lower the intent to develop anything
if they market well today and boost their customer base! , Xperia Z days will come back!
Miss Old Days :crying:
Miss back on Owned X10 Mini Pro great days, when Kitkat and JB was coming, many Develop is there...
also the when Owned Xperia SP, when Lolipop and Marshmellow was coming, many Dev is there...
I dont understand, since Nougat coming and now Oreo and Pie exist... Sony Dev one by one start going rest and gone...
:crying:
Sony still provides AOSP Pie version for Xperia XZs despite Sony will never giving out any official upgrades for this device.
Right now, I'm currently working with AOSP Pie for XZs and I managed to boot the device with Android Pie version. Building with Linux on Windows 10 could be really pain because Linux on Win10 is not fully virtual environment where some building progress will be stalled at the middle of the progress while I'm thinking to reinstall Ubuntu back on my PC after using Arch Linux for a while.
Anyway, I can't post the Pie ROM here right now because I want to rebuild it to make it better without progress stalling issues.
