Do you have an Xperia from the year 2011? If so, then you will probably be interested in whether your device will receive the update to 4.1 Android Jelly Bean. Well, there is a little good news, and that is that the developer community already has the first versions of CyanogenMod 10, Custom ROM that carries Jelly Bean as a basis, for the Sony Xperia models released in 2011, that is, the Xperia Arc, Arc S, Mini, Mini Pro, Active, Live with Walkman, Neo, Neo V, Play, Pro, Ray and Xperia S.
As you all know, the Custom ROM as CyanogenMod 10 They have a big problem, and that is that to install them it is necessary to unlock the bootloader and flash the device, which voids its warranty. However, if you bought your mobile at the beginning of 2011, your guarantee will no longer be valid. Also, if you are one of those who like to squeeze the most out of your mobile, you have probably already done this. In any case, CyanogenMod is probably the best Custom ROM that is available right now for our androids. But if in addition, this is accompanied by all the characteristics of the new 4.1 Android Jelly Bean, then one begins to wonder if the risks lose importance when we compare them with all the news. And more, if we take into account that some of those devices may not definitely receive the update to Jelly Bean.
For now, Sony Xperia phones from 2011 that already have a first version of CyanogenMod 10 are as follows, with their respective link to the thread of XDA Developers where the download files and manuals are located:
- Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc / Arc S
- Sony Ericsson Xperia mini / mini pro / active / Live with Walkman
- Sony Ericsson Xperia neo / neo V
- Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY
- Sony Ericsson Xperia pro
- Sony Ericsson Xperia ray
- Sony Xperia S
Of course, they are very preliminary versions, with bugs, with shortcomings, and with constant development, so they are only recommended for advanced users. However, it is a good step, and it assures us that one day we will be able to enjoy the final version.
I'm still waiting for ICS for my Xperia Neo, so I still have to look for "alternatives".
You are taking time to update your Xperia Neo Download the official Sony version and flash it with flastool
I have my arc and if I would like jelly bean to arrive, if it does not touch flacharlo; )
I would also like to have the jelly bean in my mini pro officially but if not, a cyanogenmod will drop
I have the ICS in my Xperia neo and because I liked it a lot, I don't see much difference to the JB
I HAVE MY XPERIA PLAY AND I WAIT FOR THE JELLY BEAN !!!! I HOPE Q DON'T FAIL !!
I have ICS in my Xperia arc S and everything works fine, but I would like to try CyanogenMod 10, but I can't find something on the net that tells me how to unlock the bootloader and flash the device. If any of you know how I thank you.
