This is also a problem with CM10.1 and not just this rom, but is anyone noticing lags in Snapchat? It works when you first start it, but then after you take a picture and try to go back into the camera, it starts completely lagging and won't stop until you quit the application and start it again.

Also I'm not getting notifications from Messenger, but that could probably be fixed by reinstall/clearing cache

hi Krabappel

if you don't mind i have 2 special requests. I hope you don't mind me asking.

-implementation of OpenPDroid (i've sent you a pm about this)

-implementation of sendRawPdu API (to be able to use apps like HushSMS or Beyond SMS)

Looking forward to your opinion

thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Common problem yes, I'm working on it ;)

I won't include PDroid framework, I like the rom like it is at the moment, maybe in the future ;)

Anyway, just committed the fmradio support to framework, going to sync my repos and build the rom :)

Let's hope it builds without problems :p

Added new changelog and to do list:

To Do List

- Safe kernel overclock

- kernel Voltage Control

- Port kernel Sound Control

- Port kernel Gamma Control

- More CPU Governors

- More I/O Schedulars

Xperia Z changelog
[Xperia Z Android Development] doctor78SI:
when will you post new links?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Droidphilev:
hi Krabappel

thx for your answer!
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
When it's compiled, it's compiling now ;) but if it fails due to fmradio I won't be able to release it today, then it will be for tomorrow.
[Xperia Z Android Development] avelon:

[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Still issues with fmradio, I give up for today, I'll build another build without it tomorrow until I can make fmradio work

Bug encountered....

Hello I came across following bugs:

1.PIE is not working properly at all.. I made some changes and my 'back' button on PIE got disappeared.

2.I am not able to lock the phone. It never gets locked..

3. How to get rid of the navigation bar?? Quite annoying..:eek:

4. I am not able to open status toggle menu. Clicking on the menu over the status bar doesnt help..

5. Home button doesnt work..

6. SD Card not found.. :eek:
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
No such bugs for me for the first 3. #4, I've no idea. Never used it.

There are couple of ways to hide nav bar. Set up Expanded Desktop in the Power Menu settings to hide navbar or add the Carbon Actions widget and choose Navbar-Toggle.

I´m already very happy with the work you´ve done so far for the Xperia Z. Still I have to admit that I refressed this thread many time this day to see if there were any updates on your excellent rom :D).

Again, many thanks.

I'm loving this rom so much after booting for the first time.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr. Droid:
Anyone getting message not sent but it actually sends ??
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Care to elaborate? I don't understand the question.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr. Droid:
I get a notification in the drawer that says message not sent please review.

However my messages are going through since my wife is responding to my questions.

I deleted all threads however no change still pops.up
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Aah i see, you mean text messages right? Try rebooting your phone, if that doesn't solve it try a fresh install of the ROM, after installing do a cache/ dalvik wipe.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr. Droid:
Yes text message, reboot doesn't work. I just installed the rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Installed it for the first time or re-installed it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] exekias:
In Google hangouts the audio doesn't work. maybe an incompatibility with the app and the hardware.

[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
does the .253 baseband work on CM roms? Also, if I use flashtool to just flash baseband, what do I lose in the rom? Any data?

EDIT: Flashed using flashtool. Excluded everything except baseband. Works fine, nothing lost.
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Ah right. Flash again, wipe cache/ dalvik after. Not data

[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION]

I am extremely pleased to see you have released this, and nice to see how far you have come, and learnt, especially handling AOSP based ROMs these days, but I was saddened to see not a single mention on the first page of

a)cyanogenmod

b)freexperiaproject

c)developers like [MENTION=359497]FXP[/MENTION] [MENTION=2492127]Kali-[/MENTION] [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION] [MENTION=237516]binary[/MENTION] who have done almost entirely all the hardware bringup on this device. and people like [MENTION=3506409]cdesai[/MENTION] [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] and me who have contributed to the device tree

I never hurts to extend credits to people who have contributed something original.
[Xperia Z Android Development] TheHurf:
The NFC firmware update zip (from .253) for people coming from .434; is that purely for Carbon ROM or would it work with other custom ROM's, like CM 10.1 etc?
[Xperia Z Android Development] exekias:
Yea one of the most recent CM updates included support for .253

should be fine, its just a data wipe of a certain partition where the NFC issue has been located. you should be able to try it on any cm no worries but be careful

"We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated.

have stock rom .253 no recovery but unlocked bootloader cant seem to find boot.img??
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
If coming from stock, use flashtool to flash boot.img. Subsequent flashes will be done via recovery. Only have to use flashtool the first time round.
[Xperia Z Android Development] cfbruck:
Many thanks for this ROM, really love it! Sooooo much smoother than others I've tried. Only thing - for some reason the sound in headphones doesn't have the same quality as stock rom. Its not broken or anything, you can just hear that its not as good. If it is possible to look intothis it would be great, only reason I had to revert back to stock based, and I miss the speed :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] xbladex:
thx mate but cant find boot.img in the downloaded file
[Xperia Z Android Development] exekias:
Then you have either got a corrupt DL or downloaded the wrong thing
[Xperia Z Android Development] xbladex:
downloading again thx
[Xperia Z Android Development] rustybathtub:
The boot.img can be found inside the zip itself. You can flash them both thru cwm. did mine that way.
[Xperia Z Android Development] xbladex:
im on official .253 firmware with unlocked bootloader with no root at the moment so no cwm
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
so to install carbon rom...first you need to FASTBOOT the boot.img to get the recovery ...than in recovery flash the .zip file you downloaded
[Xperia Z Android Development] xbladex:
thx man how long should it sit on the carbon screen got that far

?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
for sure less than 5 mins,,,,did you full wiped ?

installation manual is at Post #2

Clean install

- Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache

- Install CarbonRom

- Install gapps! Lot's of bugs without them!

- Reboot device & enjoy!

and do not forget that on first boot you will get a black screen/no boot animation for some short time until it finishes with the "optimizing apps" or how it is called

and some backup...like Titanium backup is great to have

PS: FIRST READ+LEARN+SEARCH THEN INSTALL ROMS
[Xperia Z Android Development] xbladex:
thanks man for ya help all working now :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] championswimmer:
In all fairness i ran a search using "freexperia", "FXP" and found nothing. I didnt really read every line, but a general glimpse through makes it look FreeXperia's contribution very diminutive.

Also to be honest the only reason i came down to this thread was to extend [MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] my congratulations because he used to ask me little things here and there about aosp when he was beginning on his venture, and i was happy he succeeded in getting CarbonRom on its feet, and he shall have my best wishes for similar success with the AOSP.

Just my 2c that now its VERY EASY to credit individual devs using @ mention system. So why not do that instead of just writing "thanks to all devs".

Great ROM. Works nicely and is speedy

I just hope my battery problem will go away as I experienced it with the stock ROM.

On a side note people should know that carbon ROM gets rid of any other recovery you may have.

I had cwm installed and had done a backup. After installing carbon I lost cwm and now have twrp instead.

Of course I lost my cwm backup as well. :eek::eek::banghead:

Oh well.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
because CWM or TWRP are inside the boot.img so when you change/update rom...Recovery can change too according to rom maker´s choice :D

sory for my numb question

should i flash kernal along with rom with recovery
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
first time kernEl install is when you turn off your phone,,than hold volume up and connect phone to pc...it will make led blue.....via cmd use fastboot tool from android sdk....via fastboot flash boot boot.img command

later time kernel will be flashed with rom flash in CWM/TWRP :good:

of course with bootloader unlocked
[Xperia Z Android Development] meghanath reddy:
should i make another rar file with out boot.img

if i flash with fastboot mode
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Read first post.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
not needed to make another .zip :good: just for first time installing a kernel for the rom you want you need fastboot the boot.img from inside of .zip file to get kernel+recovery

next time when updating the rom from recovery... the kernel will be updated with the rom :D
