Sony confirmed JB will only arrive by end of May...

Sigh....

if you're tired of waiting, try slim bean.

i flashed it and i like it

Middle of may they say June

That's marketing strategy... more delay more sale for new model.

They want us to upgrade the hardware, not just the firmware.

make.abandon
end of may..later end of june =.=

Anyway. currently using OPENSEMC beta 3.. satisfied with it..the only problem is the camera wb issue, tho..the rest runs perfect

i just wana understand something, if we flash to a rom that is based on jellybean, so our device will hav all the jb feature like project butter? if so is there such rom for xperia s that based on jellybean already?

currently testign the leaked working JB rom ..will report back later on

the prob are:
1) Sony is darn slow on support previous flagship (if I bought a low-end model, I won't be complaining much)
just to put things in perspective, the Korean rival manage to update theirs as early as Oct,
(note: taking previous flagship for comparison sake) i.e.
SII release on May 2011 - JB update on January 2013
Note I release on Oct 2011 - JB update on October 2012
XPS release on Feb 2012 - JB update on ???!!!

2) it's a promise that count. 1st Sony said Q1 2013, later Apr, now it's May...
if they tell from starts, JB update only available June, at least the expectation will be different

3) let's say try on leak version, if anything screw, who shall we complain to ? rather go customization path if I would want to give up my warranty

The auto white balance issue on camera still there..
Some of the ss i took last.nite..overall it's smooth

the leak version is quite safe to use i think.
i have S2, leak JB was released since november 2013, been using since then.
there was a lockscreen bug in the leak version, but xda people solved it in december.

the official release and leak release same only.
leak release is probably still waiting approval to be distributed that's all.

Where to get the leak one?
How to flash it? Cwm?

Or need Sony dedicated PC software ?

- XDA forums
- CWM
- Unlocked bootloader

Does anyone here know of any shops selling the casing for xperia SL?

sony doing good job .

the camera still got wb issues..tho :|

The leaked rom is quite nice .
Near to Z . You can safely use for another year .

what kind of WB issue it has?

try take pictures with flash..and you'll notice purple-ish (ics doesn't produce this, tho)
or..take picture in room with lights turned on

xperia s jelly bean :
-CAMERA with new "effect" icon , when taking photo can add effect
- improve picture quality
