First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...

Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.

Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?

My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best

xposed framework with gravity box and GEM Xperia Xposed will help alot.

as you can see in the picture below the nav bar is smaller the bars are really transparent and the dock has no background any more. Also there are more rows and collums. Yes this is really the stock launcher from Sony :silly: only the icons i did with Dekstop visuelizer :)

Also with GEM Xperia Xposed you can mod alot of the lockscreen too. You can even choose the AOSP lockscreen if you want.

Haha thank you I know that all this is possible with Xposed but I just consider other UIs as more useful by default and Sony has not really made big changes... It's just so incomprehensible why they need that long for updates

Just installed it, feels awesome, I like the new keyboard. And it's smooth! No lag at all for me.

I was just about to order the Z1s when the update came through..Actually ordered it but am cancelling it before it ships as the software is much faster and is like a new phone again!

Although, anyone having problems with google search? it keeps crashing. I clear app data and it still won't work.

[update]
I uninstalled the latest version and its working now. I haven't tried to reinstall the newest again.

Well the old one seriously sucks it's complete rubbish doesn't even have a search key and is greatly inaccurate without proper word prediction even.

Bug report

I changed SI code to swedish 1269-3639 and then upgraded to 4.3 stock with SEUS.
Camera is broken! It's flickering like CM or AOPK! Green line with low light (indoor). IT'S A SHAME!
I can't believe it.
