2011 Xperia devices “Android 2.3.4″ update is here!
Sony Ericsson has started rolling out the 2.3.4 update for the 2011 Xperia devices!I’ve been using this update for a few hours now on my Xperia PLAY and I think it works pretty smooth.As I said before, this is Android 2.3.4. The buildnumber is 4.0.1.A.0.283 and it’s a Nordic ROM.
Sony Ericsson added quite some new features to this new firmware:First of all, they added Swype. “Swype allows users to enter words by sliding a finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting only between words.”
Another thing that was added, is the Screenshot option. This option can be found in the shutdown menu. (long press the “Turn off” button to get there) So now we don’t need a special app to take screenshots!
Sony Ericsson also expanded their “Facebook inside Xperia” experience. You can now share the apps you like directly to your Facebook page. You just have to drag the app you like to the statusbar and a popup will show up. They also added a app so you can see what apps your friends shared!
Another new option is the “Automatic Brightness” option. This option can be found here: Settings –> Display –> Brightness.Here’s a list of some other new functions:
- New smooth screen on/off animation
- Ability to change playlist order
- Enable/disable extensions
- Some small UI changes (Folder icon, Widgets icon)
- Google Talk with videocalling support
There is one thing though that Sony Ericsson didn’t add to the PLAY update but did add to the Arc and Neo update..The 3D Panorama app. With that app you should be able to make 3D panorama pictures by just panning your device.I tried to install the Arc app on my PLAY, but I got this message: “Camera not available”. So let’s hope the dev’s at XDA will port it to PLAY!
Thanks to Bin4ry it’s possible to root the new firmware! Just check out this thread at XDA.
The firmware for the PLAY can be found here
The firmware for the Arc can be found here
The firmware for the Neo can be found here
