[Q] 1st gen Sony tablet S performance after jelly bean update

[vp565]

I am interested in upgrading my 1st gen tablet s to jelly bean.
Can anyone say anything about how does the tablet perform after jelly bean update? Is it any better, is it worth the risk, cause I am a newb and don't want brick the device. Also any video to show the whole process?
Any help is appreciated.

There are no Jelly Bean (Android OS Version 4.1.x) firmware releases for the Sony Tablet S. Android OS Version 4.0.3 Release 5a is the last firmware release for the Sony Tablet S. No future firmware updates are expected.

I use an XTZ and I own four STSes which are used by two granddaughters, a nephew, and a girlfriend, and none of us experience performance problems. I maintain all of the tablets and assure they are up-to-date and have clean installs. Tablets, like automobiles, perform well if they are regularly maintained. I use Performance Booster which provides a small increase in performance. I also use ES Task Manager and SD Maid Pro to keep apps under control and clean. I also limit the number of installed apps; fewer install apps equals better performance. If an app is not being used on a regular basis, the app gets uninstalled. And I stay away from most free apps because I have found free apps tend to cause the most problems.

Hi Cat,
My daughter has a Sony Tablet S and it is working fine but she thinks Jelly Bean would help with using apps like One Note.
I have been looking at find that the developer "Condi" had some links that kept saying update to Jelly bean unofficial but in the screen shots I still see version 4.0.3 R5A.......
have you seen any updates to this talk??

thanks in advance!

Clint

Yeah, condi's app only gives you 4.0.3 for *NON-XPERIA* Tablet S's.

4.1 JB is only for *XPERIA* Tablet S. Stupid naming scheme by Sony TBH. Unfortunately Sony locked the bootloader from the very beginning, so we aren't going to get good 3rd party support.

What to do with rooted Sony Tablet S?

There are no Jelly Bean (Android OS Version 4.1.x) firmware releases for the Sony Tablet S. Android OS Version 4.0.3 Release 5a is the last firmware release for the Sony Tablet S. No future firmware updates are expected.

My primary motive for rooting my Sony Tablet S was to be able to upgrade to JB. But I guess I didn't do my research before rooting my STS. Now, what can I do with a rooted STS that I couldn't with an unrooted one?
