Hello and welcome to the Xperia website and our youtube chanel.
We have the smartphone Sony Xperia T here
which is still the the best phone of Sony Mobile available on the market so far...
This phone should get an official update of Android 4.1 Jelly bean within next two months.
Unofficial version of 4.1 is already available..
and besides the 4.1, it brings also a lot of other features
and that is the reason of making this video - to show you what we get included.
Cyanogen Mod has been introduced by me already several times ... also for Xperia T.
But this time I dediced to spice our overview up with some really nice theme
so this is not going to be only about the features and functions,
which are by the way quite comprehensive and the phone works absolutelly without any problems
But my aim is to show you also how the Cyanogen looks like.
It begins with the quite nice switching feature
and I am going to show you much more.
Then It will be only up to you, to decide whether you like this ROM
and whether you'd decide to install it on your device or not.
I have the ROM in my device already for a while
and basically I found nothing what would disallow me to use the phone as a main device on daily base.
The design of the whole ROM and theme is really great
especially with consideration of full functionality including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
including ability to install the market apps without any problem...
I have to say, the outcome is from my point of view really perfect.
I've alredy said that a time ago, but I must repeat,
that in this moment there is no need for me to stay with original (Sony) ROM
...moreover I can not wait the upgrade of this unofficial ROM
because from design as well as the function point of view it brings a better experience
than the official one
As you can see, not only the icons of system apps have changed
but also some icons of additionally installed apps have changed as well.
Of course, with increasing amount of apps will increase also amount of icons
that will not be alligned with the whole theme.
So, the more apps you'll install the less icons will be alligned
but the colored base of the theme will stay unchanged and
from my point of view really beautiful.
One of the new features coming with Androind 4.1 Jelly bean provided by Sony
is a new and distinctly modified launcher
finally allowing to adjust an amount of screens as you wish
This feature has not been supported by original ROMs until now.
It has not been an issue for modified ROMs
Cyanogen Mod itself allows this feature for a quite long time
same as e.g. lay out of the grid (matrix) etc.
Nevertheless, original Xperia launcher could be the favourite one for some of us irrespective of CyanogenMod's one.
That's the reason why I have created an istalation package for recovery menu
allowing you to choose the launcher you'd like to have
as you can see here, by clickling the "use" button is easy to switch to the new Xperia launcher.
where we can easily add or delete the screens
but the look of the content remains unchanged as provided by Sony.
Basically there is no difference. Both launchers work great
I just would like to show you, that there is no problem to install the oficial launcher also into the unofficial ROM
only the recovery menu is needed and the rest is easy
What I would like to get improved, is the transparency of the background here...
as you can see by switching to the original (Cyanogen) launcher
the black backgroung looks much better from my point of view...
colours of icons can stand out much better
When I switch back to the Xperia launcher, the background is neither dark nor transparent
and the complete image caused by graphical effects is a bit lost
and the overall impression is not so flawless.
In anyway there is no doubt, that this unofficial Android 4.1.2
for Xperia T has been developped to the great ROM
and I would say, that it is very suitable for daily intensive use
and if you don't like the adroid installed in your device, provided by Sony
...that means the offical one...
then I would definitelly recommend this modified ROM and also this theme you can see on my device
becuase, honestly speaking, I haven't found any nicer theme.
It just fits to the phone
it pushes the usability of the phone significatntly forward
I mean the ROM of course, not the theme itself..
...and I enjoy the using of the phone, in terms of functions and in terms of the new graphic.
So, I definitelly rate this ROM by 10 points of 10...
.. and if I could rate it by 100 I would do so...
Not everything is perfect and tiny mistakes time to time appear
e.g. wi-fi works in my case after 4 or 5 restarts
it works so, since I have installed this ROM. But because I know about this tiny issue and I know how to solve that
it is not a big problem for me... wi-fi sooner or later finds the signal and gets conected
and those few restarts I can accept
The camera works also as fine as the othe functionalities I already mentioned
instalation of apps works smooth as well.
And, from my point of view, the graphic combined with the version of Android
that's the main blockbuster... So, I can only
recommend this ROM and there is not so much more to say..
Thank you very much for watching this video
...stay tuned...
...and see you next time.
