Hi and sorry if the subject is at wrong part of the forum ( i could'nt find my phone model)
A few days ago i bought Sony Xperia E4g and it comes with Android KitKat 4.4 (Even it has 64 bit proc. and released 5 months after Lollipop 5.0 update)
The question is will Sony release update for Xperia E4g (on net, some sites says it will get Lollipop update but i couldnt get any information from Sony via forum / support email)
Any information ?
Search forum for "xperifirm" and you can check your model for latest firmware. I looked around and seems like you will have lollipop soon but it's not released yet for your phone.

The Update(Android L 5.0) is still not available for my nexus 7(2012 Wifi) ,i thougt that the update is rolled out completely.My Device is not rooted.(I live in Germany)(sry grammer isnt the best)
Hi,
Here is a thread on the subject, you can join the discussion here too,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/general/updated-eta-android-5-0-t2927240
If you're on stock rom and Stock recovery and haven't altered the system partition, you should get and be able to install the Lollipop ota. But it's rolled out in stages, some Nexus 5 owners are still waiting, and it began before the 2012 N7.....so you'll need to be patient.
Good luck !
Hi , I'm entirely new to this rooting & custom rom thing I have the sony xperia m c1904 model. Since sony stopped updating it any further from Android 4.3 I've been researching a little & found a little about cyanogenmod developers so what exactly cyanogenmod 12 differs from cyanogenmod 11 . I've heard it's still in beta or nightly stage so what's more I'll get apart from android 5.0 why cyanogenmod 12 matters? Please explain.....
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The difference between those two versions is as follows:
CM11 is based off Android 4.4.x KitKat
CM12 is based off Android 5.0.x Lollipop
So basically you can see that each CM version number increases when they start developing using each new version of Android that is released.
CM9 = Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0
CM10 = Jelly Bean 4.1
CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2
CM10.2 = Jelly Bean 4.3
CM11 = KitKat 4.4
CM12 = Lollipop 5.0
In order to ascertain exactly what features are being included in ROMs that are CM12 or based on CM12 you'll need to do some research by reading the individual ROM threads in the specific section of XDA for the Xperia M. You'll find the Xperia M section here:
Sony Xperia M
Bookmark that page and subscribe to it too, that'll make it easier for you to find in future. Within that device forum you'll find sub-forums like:
Xperia M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
(where you can post any questions you may have, just remember to search before posting because any question you have has probably been asked and answered many times before, so make use of the very handy XDA search feature)
Xperia M Android Development
Xperia M Original Android Development
(where you'll find ROMs, kernels, etc)
Ok, so now you know where to go, get started and do some reading. Good luck!

The first device to get it will most likely be a new Nexus device that will come pre-installed with the new operating system.
A couple of hours ago, I downgraded my Lenovo A7000-a From Android Marshmallow ( can't remember what version it was cause it was hell of a **** ) to Lollipop stock Android version 5.0, Baseband version( A7000.ROW.V15,2015/11/27 ), Build number ( A7000-a_s153_151127_ROW ) as described in the ( Device information ). The reason for that is that Marshmallow is a **** garbage and made my phone ****, laggy and the UI was full of bugs. When I bought my phone out of the box was Lollipop 5.0 and I got update from Lenovo in the system update to 5.1 Lollipop - Before the Marshmallow was officially released in the system update - and just until the official update for Marshmallow came out, and I wish I had not updated it.
I used the SP Flashtool and the version found on this Link : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HiQB/FY5XGcn89 . Everything went fine and I was able to downgrade to 5.0. The thing is, I want to update to 5.1 ( the most stable version, and avoid the ****ing Vibe **** UI ) and the update I have in the system update of the device is directly to the **** Marshmallow and of course I want to avoid that at any cost. I have some questions about that : Will I be doing the same process ( with the SP Flashtool ) to update to 5.1, hence it is no more available in the system updates ?. and I'm not an Android geek so I do not where to find the Lollipop version 5.1 ( it is not mentioned the Lollipop version it just states like that : A7000-a_S152_150917_ROW_TO_A7000-a_S153_151127_ROW_WC1E.zip ) on this website in the OTA section : https://boycracked.com/2016/03/07/official-lenovo-a7000-stock-rom/ .
So where to find the most stable version of Lollipop 5.1 ( without the **** Vibe UI ) for Lenovo A7000-a ? and How to properly update my device from the current version 5.0 Lollipop to 5.1 Lollipop ( without loosing applications and of course without ****ing up my phone and losing it forever ), if I'm going to use the SP Flashtool ?
PS, I want to do this update because Lollipop 5.1 felt more intuitive, Not that Lollipop is bad in any way - oh God Marshmallow was the only and most ****ed up experience - , but 5.1 felt better for me.
Thank you in advance for your help
