wow. much important. very update.

out of curiosity, out of the dozens of problems that the roms have and that the users are reporting, what percentage has been fixed? What percentage have actually even been *acknowledged* by sony to be problems? (example: removal of option to enable content adaptive backlight)?

@toothpaste

That's an interesting question, perhaps @Rickard could answer this question.

I'm talking about problems due to sony's customisation (e.g.: alarm not opening when tapping alarm icon in notification bar), not general android problems for which sony had no involvement (e.g.: audio playback missing samples)

@toothpaste

That's what I thought you were asking.

I'm afraid i don't have full changelogs for the firmware but there are of course more optimizations, changes and fixes in the updates.

I've requested information about the adadtive backlight. It might be that it always on now and there's no setting to turn it off but i'm not sure.

The alarm icon in the notification bar does not open the alarm app. This was reported to us in another thread and the information i got is that our developers have not added this feature. I forwarded feedback that this is a wanted feature though.

I recieved information that the content adaptive backlight was removed already in Android 4.3 so the feature is no longer available. I don't know why it was removed but i will try to find out and let you know if i can get that information.

@Rickard

content adaptive brightness has not been removed.

I wish it was removed... what has been removed was the option to enable or disable it.

@Rickard who told you that CAB was removed? It hasn't been removed, you can test it yourself, you don't have to believe anyone's claims. If sony meant to disable it, they fudged it up, because it is permanently on and impossible to control.

That is the information from our developers but i'll forward it again.

THIS is how we will spend our time? Going back and forth with "information"?

Go away and let me talk to the developers directly. As a coder myself i will get along much better than i do with you.

Sorry to hear that you feel that way

I have no way of putting you in direct contact with our developers. The only advice i can give you in that case is that you check this page or that you contact your local support team to see if they can connect you somehow.

@Rickard

Are you sure content adaptive backlight has been disabled? Did you try it on your own phone to see for yourself? Do you know what to look for, that is, how to test it? It is very disheartening to wait for days for a response and in the end get a wrong answer from you. Otherwise, if you are absolutely sure that the feature has been disabled, then something very wrong is going on because on my device it is very certainly active and I am running lollipop.

That is the information from our developers but i'll forward it again.

did you at least check for yourself if CBA is disabled or enabled? if the developers told you that it is disabled, would you believe them? even if you can see it with your own eyes that it is enabled?

why are you asking them instead of checking it yourself in the first place?
