Sony Ericsson showcases Android 4.0.1 ICS alpha ROM

When Sony Ericsson explained how adamantine it is to absolution a abovecomputer application update, we got the activity that we're in for a appealing continued wait. Yet, it seems that the company's developers are advanced faster than accepted as they aloof appear an alpha preview, which can be acclimated by devs to alpha alive on apps for Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) appropriate now.

The examination ROM isn't ill-fitted for a circadian use - above appearance like telephony, Wi-Fi and Google apps aren't anatomic aloof yet.

Music amateur ascendancy from lock screen

Sony Ericsson explains update to Android 4.0 ICS

You'd anticipate that application the aforementioned chipset in all phones will accomplish the alteration easy. Not quite, it turns out. The chipset ability be the same, but the peripherals - cameras, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, sensors, etc - are different. Support for those has to be included in the Hardware Abstraction Layer (simply put, they charge defined for those devices).

That's absolutely a bit of work, but it's far from the end of it - afterwards that's done, all accessories charge be activated to see if the newcomputer application works properly. And they charge an official acceptance that they do.

Sony Ericsson say that they administer for a all-around acceptance as generally as accessible but sometimes, they charge to administer for altered countries individually. For a artefact launched globally, it charge be certified in up to 80 countries. And while some tests can be performed in-house, added tests charge to be done by third parties.

As you can imagine, that's actual time consuming. In fact, Sony Ericsson says that accepting the certifications is the best time arresting allotment of the accomplished process.

That's not the all of it, either. Some operators appetite to accommodate their owncomputer application modifications afore the amend is ready. And alone afterwards all those things accept been arrested off the checklist, can acomputer application amend be pushed out.

You can apprehend the accomplished blog column about the Sony Ericsson Android amend procedure, it gives a lot added absorbing details.
