Sony won't waste there time on 8.1

I hope the XA2 gets root/twrp. Then hopefully devs will compile some rooms. I'm personally hoping LineageOS, then...v8.1, 9.0, 10... Is possible.

The XA2 is not even 3 months old yet give the dev time it is almost guaranteed that it will get Android 9.0 by then Twrp will be developed and then we can get the newest version of Android

SailFish OS/ROM (Meego)

Can we expect that the SailFish OS will be able to boot on Xperia Arc ? Or will it only run on powerful/newer phones !
Considering the UBUNTU OS is only for Nexus phones ,i guess this OS too will not be available for us !
But still do we have any hope?

We need a developper to adapt the kernel. It can be difficult too

It's not only at kernel level; you still have to get the drivers working properly with the software and other configurations. To put it simply, porting the OS to this phone will take a lot of time and effort.

Still no Sailfish rom for Xperia arc?
Hi all,
I really don't know why noone said this yet but there is Sailfish for Xperia Arc since 2016 or less... It's an alpha build which is not being updated anymore, but it's still good.
Here's the link guys:

Android P for MI 6

Hi, anyone heard anything about Android P beta for MI6 ? Would it be provided as a custom rom before (if) it's available from Xiaomi?
cheers!

Yea probably. I asked because it's officialy available for Xiaomi MI Mix 2s --> not sure as how the Xiaomi ecosystem works - these might be compatible ? https://developer.android.com/preview/devices/

Probably Mix2S is Treble enabled by default?
I hope that someone will port the mi2s's beta to our mi6!
I'm starting to feel backward...

Mix 2s has treble so they just used the generic system image of P which had been out for a while.
Basically nothing special for a treble device.
It doesn't seem to boot on our treble port from Nils or Verevka so idk what's different about it.
Eh.
We will probably get LOS P in the future but for now we only just got Oreo and P is way off being a full release.

Having closely watched the LOS development for a year, I think it's gonna take a while for LOS in P to be as stable as current LOS in Oreo. And regression bug can still keep coming, regardless how mature it is.
Hi All,
thanks for your replies and input into this thread. I appreciate it, and hope, we will get some Android P
have a nice day!
Mi Mix2s Android P Beta is not a GSI. It's a specific image for that system. If it was a GSI then would we able to use it already on our Mi6.

I wan't all the goodies available when it comes to the google assistant, my take is, the new assistant features like calling a hair salon will be available on P first.
I also like the suble changes in design that come with each iteration of android.

Will the device get android p?

Will the device get android p? Official or unofficial anything will help
I'm pretty sure that there will be lots of android P custom ROMs in future but official update is impossible.
In my opinion, it will get Android p before EOL

Qualcomm relased (or it's going to) special patches for Snapdragon 8xx and 660 and 636 to help manufacturers update their devices to Android P. If Xiaomi doesn't update Remi Note 5 Pro /China/global to P, fanbase is going to literally destroy them for that

Xiaomi only give one major update for redmi note series.. which got N -> O.. so no more major android update (unless they change their policies)..
and now about Chinese variant, Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm launched in china as Redmi Note 3 (SE) with 6.0.1, it never got a single major android update..
[BTW a huge number of custom ROM will be available, thanks to Project Treble Support]

I dont think Xiaomi cares about that. They did that to RN3 Pro (Kenzo) users and they just looked the other way.

Android 11

Do you think Sony is going to make android 11 for xz2 compact
God I hope not, the launch of 10 pretty much just happened and it was bumpy as hell.
Do you think that sony xz3 will get android 11?
Maybe the XZ2 compact will have Android 11.
Sony released the software binaries for AOSP Android 11 : https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-android-11-0-kernel-4-14-tama so we may expect at least a custom ROM

Sony Xperia XA1 upgrade to Android version 9, 10, or 11

Is it possible to upgrade Sony Xperia XA1 upgrade to Android version 9, 10, or 11
Not possible, not even for 8.1 the effort to get it up and running are painful with propritary that mtk put in, even when you manage to get it booting, RIL will not work, this happened with all sony with mtk chipset and no one (or even team of dev) can do any thing about it, only sony know what change need to be made
