[Completed] Software upgrade for Sony Xperia Ion - XDA Assist

Hi,
I am using Sony Xperia Ion (with Andriod version 4.1.2 , built number 6.2.B.0.211).
I would like to upgrade software to the latest Lollipop. Is this possible? If yes, can someone help me with the guidelines to do so?
thank you,
Sujesh

Hi,
Here is a thread on the only Lollipop rom I could find for your device. It's a test build, do its likely to contain many bugs... Possibly making it hard to use on a daily basis.
I suggest reading the entire thread to see what issues people are reporting with it,
> Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion > Xperia S Android Development > Pure AOSP Lollipop test4
Good luck!

Thank you. Thread closed.

[Q] Xperia X8 Custom ROM

Dear All,
i am new to android and even on XDA threads, may be i am posting this thread on a wrong place, so m sorry for that..anyways i have got xperia x8 black running v2.1, last night i rooted and installed xrecovery on my phone, and after that i installed another custom ROM on my device, which were not fully functional at all...i googled and searched over these forums but couldn't find any proper ROM (or i am unable to look for a proper one). Please provide a link for direct download of any custom ROM (perfect & stable) version greater than 2.1 (preferably 2.2 froyo).
Thanx in advance.
Osama

At the moment I'm running GingerDX on my X8 and I love it. I've been following X8 development for quite a while now and must say I'm very happy with doixanh's work so far.

[Q] Stock xperia e JB rom for tipo

Greetings xda,
I was thinking about porting the stock j.b. rom of the xperia e to tipo, because it's a nice rom, with a very nice UI, and also it could be a good upgrade for the xperia tipo, with an "official sony" touch. Since both phones are much alike in specs (they have same amount of ram, almost the same cpu, same screen, same gpu and same camera) I consider that this could be possible. So here's my question: how hard can it be? And also what would I need to make the port on an xperia tipo? Note that I'd like to port the official stock, generic one (rootable, if possible), with no modifications like UI, etc.
Your post is in the wrong section. . I report to modeators to move to Q/A
As will be moved there by the moderator if you answer.
Sure. No problem.
I have found a method of porting a pre-rooted rom's files from a phone to a computer (here's the page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49766028). Could I do something similar to make the port I'm interested in?

Has sony abandoned xperia l?

Hii, sorry i searched for a thread like this but didn't found one, so if there is a thread already existing like this i apologize for that_
I wanted to ask that has sony abandoned xperia l? so many days but still no news for an android 4.3 update, let alone 4.4_
No stable aosp roms like cyanogen or aokp.. Will it stay like this or what? Does somebody have any news?
My previous phone was samsung galaxy y, which is a low end phone but it has a hell lot of roms and even when the device is discontinued the roms are still developing_i think xperia l has potential.. Can't it support roms like cyanogen (official stable version) ? Hell even xperia m got one, which has only 4gb of internal_
If somebody have any kind of news please reply.. m sick and tired of checking the updates daily_

Xperia L Future?
Hi
I feel the same for the Xperia L, Sony hasn't given an update schedule for it, there are is no news/rumour on either 4.3 or 4.4 for the Xperia L furthermore although we are backed by official CM support the maintainer is a bit quiet in terms of progress, what makes it worse is that the phone is not that popular especially with the SP overshadowing it.
With my previous phones (Xperia X10 mini pro, Xperia X8 & Live with Walkman) the XDA forums were so full of ROMs/mods/everything you would want-they only got better for me. But with the Xperia L it all feels dead - I reckon mostly because of Sony's lack of info on updates-no one wants a phone that has no good update outlook.
I hope that Sony will update our beloved Xperia L to a stable Kit-Kat, not asking for anymore-the phone does deserve it, beautiful hardware at a nice price.
Yea

I too owned Samsung Galaxy Y. It was a very low end device but had many developments. I bought XL due to cost/performance ratio was good. Unfortunately there is so slow development
Sony has no reason to update our phone since it's a mid-range device. That's why we didn't get 4.3 or 4.4.

Yeah I don't think we're gonna be getting anymore updates.
There will be one more major update to our phone.. Mark my words!!
If what I hear is correct, we should get a working CM11 by the end of this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I don't think Sony has abandoned the Xperia L just yet, honestly.
Perhaps they'll release 4.3/4.4.2 for it someday, but be honest: most people buy the flagship models with their contracts (Z, Z Ultra, Z1, Z2) so they prioritize those.
Yeah we get a very nice performance phone at a cheap price but at the cost of slow development
I checked the list of devices which sony has confirmed won't be getting any updates anymore_xperia l isn't in the list..
But it occurs to me that xperia sp and xperia m were launched with xperia l (xperia m a little after i think) but the phones have received major updates_this thought troubles me..
But we can't do nothing.. we just have to be hopeful and wait for the updates i think
Unless some superhero makes the aosp version stable for us_

well, there's no official statement from sony about dropping the support for xperia L and it's still within the 18 months cycle. So, who knows?:fingers-crossed:
can only speculate whether there will be another update or not, but it's just speculations, so . . .
no one but sony can answer "has sony abandoned xperia l?"
other roms like cm, aokp, etc has nothing to do with sony, it depends on the community :victory:
the official cm is currently in "coming soon" section in fxp :victory:
sony had supported the open resource project by giving the kitkat aosp for xperia L i guess..
eventhough it's not good enough for daily use :crying:
btw i check the updates of the development daily too
well, since there's ptcrb updates on xperia M and it's still within 18 months policy
finger crossed :angel:

[Completed] Is there a rom for the Xperia sp that bravia engine 2 works in?

Im buying a Xperia Sp tomorrow and i'm planning on rooting and putting a custom rom on (maybe CM 13) I'm wondering is there a rom thats based on either 5.1.1 or 6 that supports the sony bravia engine 2 so that it still works?
alot of people have said to me if its based on a "stock rom" then it will, is this true and also whats the difference between stock roms and other roms?
also if there isnt a rom based on 5 or 6 that supports it and only 4.4.4 does for example that will still do.
I Would also appreciate it if someone could provide a link to one (if there is one) thanks

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Stock would be what the OEM (in this case, Sony) releases or is at least the base. A custom ROM has a different base (often very close to AOSP), which include CyanogenMod.
Because CM would not have the libraries that Sony has, Bravia Engine probably will not work. Probably the only way it would be, is to use either the Sony stock ROM or something that used the Sony ROM as it's base.
Unfortunately a quick scan in the SP Development area does not match your criteria.
By the way, this thread may help:
> Sony Xperia SP > Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Have stock... Want to put something custom on it. Confused
Can direct any questions there, once you have an XDA account.
A bit late for your final decision in purchase, but I hope this helps.

Custom roms on Xperia XA

Hello,
I've recently bought an Xperia XA and was surprised when I've found out that this phone has a lack of developper support ...
Anyway, I still wanted to be sure about it so I ask my question here. Is there any custom rom that can be flashed on this device ? One that is considered stable ? Even if it's not an official build like LineageOS.
Or are we doomed to stay on Sony's Marshmallow stock ?
Just asking, not judging or despising any XA's dev or owner !
Thank youuu o/
