Sony has built a reputation as developer-friendly device manufacturer, and in aiming to show their continued support for the extensive Android developer community, the company has decided to create an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for its 2013 flagship device, the Sony Xperia Z.
The Sony Xperia S was the first device from the company to be a part of the AOSP “experiment,” and even though that support was pulled a short while later, the project continued. Now, Sony is hoping to get developers excited about using and contributing to a similar project for the Xperia Z.
The software can’t be used as your daily driver just yet, but there is a lot that is working already, including boot up, SD card, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, LED Light, and some sensors. Currently not working are the camera and modem, although Sony has both running internally, but is unwilling to publish the proprietary binaries required. This, of course, means that when the AOSP release is installed, the device will not function as a smartphone and as stated before, is not yet ready for everyday use.
