Now that I had a look into the test build of the Jelly Bean for Xperia P, I thought of sharing my views on it. I'll include a couple of screenshots of the new features as well. (See the attachment)
This is a test build so, No comments to :
1. Is it smooth or is it lagging?
2. How is the battery life?
This is a quick review of the updated stuff in the ROM. If you want to know anything more, please ask. I think I didn't miss anything though.
Camera
I don't know why DoomLord said the camera seems to have changed because I didn't see any changes at all. It's just the same as it is on ICS.
Media Apps
The Media apps (Album, Movies, Walkman) have been updated to the latest versions. In the Album app you get an option to add tags to the photos (See the SS). In the Walkman app you'll get more options to tweak the sound like, Surround sound, ClearAudio+, Clearsterero, ClearPhase, xLoud and Dynamic normalizer.
BE
It's just the BE not BE2 and I failed to enable it. (Guess it's the unlocked bootloader)
Power Management
It also has changes. Now we have more options like Stamina mode, Low battery mode and location based WiFi. (See the SS for more deatils on these features)
Themes/Lock Screen
We've a new theme chooser. (See the SS) The lock screen is also new. I think it's the Xperia Z stuff. As you might have guessed, we cannot have notifications on the losk screen anymore.
Launcher, Status bar and notification panel, Misc
The launcher is the same. (the one with the options to add 7 home screens).
The status bar remains the same but now with the option to display the battery percentage or not.
The notification panel has been changed to te latest from Sony (Same as of Xperia T JB). Now we can have quick toggles for WiFi, Bluetooth, Sound, Data and there's a shortcut to the settings menu.
Contacts, Messaging apps are also updated. (See the SS)
Google Now
The first thing I tried to figure out was Google now; tried the home button, searched the lock screen etc but it seems it's not there! May be Sony is still to add it or they abandoned it! Anyway I couldn't find it anywhere!
Conlusion.
Apart from the missing Google now, it's quite a nice package I should say.
