It's sad to learn that Sony is about to drop its support for Xperia E. I bought the phone not just for its price tag, but also for its moderate form factor and its Jelly Bean OS. I hope there will be a few more people who had bought the phone also for its pocket friendly size that enables operation, for the most part, with a single hand. Sony is about to release a mini form of Z which has only slightly larger dimensions than the Xperia E. I don't think there is any real need for an E1 with a 4.3, they could have simply updated the E's firmware to 4.3 for everybody. It is nothing more than a market gimmick. But who cares? It would have been perfect if Sony supported the E just up to 4.4 and then dropped it, no one would complain then.

If you just know how to handle the E, you wouldn't really feel as discontented as many buyers have complained in this forum.

Anyway, is there anyone who has tried a custom ROM on E?

Somebody must ring a bell at Sony that the phone still has some months left as described on Android Support lifecycle.

Hey if they release a new pphone on series It is only to promote the e series it doesnt mean that they will stop updating the phone. Take a look at Nokia E series devices they had also got update to older model to some extent

Xperia can handle any Android 4.4, 4.3,4.2
I'm using Android 4.1.2 Jb rom Cyanogen rom
Much better than stock but has some bugs

Using this rom is like a slap in the face of everyone who said xperia e is weak, jelly bean can't run at 512mb ram

[acemod13]

Yeah but some can't do it due to either warranty or the fear of screwing up.

Xperia E is my first Android phone and it managed to dissapoint me..... I knew Sony has very bad after sales service but I didn't expect this
Even I was scared about rooting & bootloader unlock and waited patiently for them to fix it

The Day those idiots announced xperia E1, I lost it, and unlocked bootloader and installed a rom the same day!

Maybe this will throw some hope for us Xperia E users. http://www.gsmarena.com/xperia_android_update_schedule_surfaces_through_leaked_image-news-7014.php Found this while doing some research. I know Xperia E Single Sim says nothing about update (it doesn't deny it either) but allegedly the Dual Sim version will have the 4.3 update. I asume it can be flashed to single Sim too. I had flashed the ICS rom from the Dual to my Single and it worked realy good (had a minor annoying bug in wich I had to select my service provider when I started my phone, but it wasn't so bad, everything else worked good)

@Hector nice research skills but the article is from October 2013 (the 2.23 firmware didn't even come out then). That was time when everyone was hyped about 4.3 like we are about 4.4. It's probably a fake list

And about flashing dual roms on single... It totally works....
But if you do it other way round you lose dual sim capabilities
