Ah, if you can have a build up every fortnight or so that would be great...
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
It is compiled :) will upload tomorrow :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
Thanks man can't wait!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
is it ok to dirty flash from 0913 over the new version that you're gonna upload soon?

because if it can be dirty flash-ed over i might just install and configure everything nicely on 0913 first.

thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Update Finally posted, sorry for the delay guys..
[Xperia Z Android Development] exitjen:
nice thanks!

hate it that the download goes so slow everytime :(

was much better on mega or something else faster then xda

An1 else having SIM lock by default but no chance to disable it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
No worries everything is good! You don't owe us anything. Glad you're still supporting us :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
loving the new update..

- recovery works

- camera works fine too

- and liking the new carbon fibre's menu.

- no noticable bugs so far..!

btw, just a question. why not implement that roboto font into the system?

cuz it kinda looks nice..

is it possible to make a flashable zip mod? for the fonts. :D

maybe make a revert/flash-to-font zip

i know this is out of the rom's activity but i do hope you can look into this consideration. :)

thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] doctor78SI:
First observation: the phone never goes to deep sleep and the most used frequency was 1242. And this all while I was sleeping. Phone freshly installed with no extra apps.
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
I can confirm phone doesn't go into deep sleep. Gonna flash meow kernel to see if it makes a difference..
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
tested. slept for 8 hours with MEOW kernel (with wifi off)

goes down 8% in 8 hours time. 100% to 92%

then while listening to music + using data = goes down 20% in less than 30 minutes.

guess the phone doesnt go to sleep (on MEOW). this problem doesnt exist before or other roms. :)

will try stock kernel again for 1 more night will a full wipe.
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
On latest meow (09.30) everything runs smoothly. Loving the whole carbon rom as a whole too. It has just the right features that I'd like plus it isn't as bloated.
[Xperia Z Android Development] doctor78SI:
This ROM with MEOW kernel is consuming battery like crazy! I was on RomAur ROM before and u can't even compare these 2. Why is that???

I like these ROM but but I need my battery life much longer that now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
I bet Android OS or Android system is consuming major percentage of the battery, something keeps on running in the background preventing deep sleep.

Check better battery stats for better info and if u could post a screenshot here.

I'm 100% sure it is the Carbon ROM and not the meow kernel since I'm running the latest version with JellyBam and battery life has been great better than any previous versions of Meow.

(waiting for [MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] to address the issue before switching back to Carbon)
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Great ROM, runs smoothly after clean install. Battery drains hard though and kernel doesn't support fast charge. Besides that no issues as of yet.
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
I can confirm the battery is draining rapidly no matter what kernel I'm on... Screen on time 2 hours and that's that. Just normal use. Normally I could get 4hours no problem...

Hopefully after a cycle or two the battery settle. If not I'll go back to stock for awhile.
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Can someone give details about which process or app drains the battery?

I don't have a Z anymore so can't test myself
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
Hold on I go download betterbatterystats
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Hey Krab, I've noticed the time hanging sometimes. It's almost 2100 hours now, yet the clock in my notification bar got stuck on 2014. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Also battery is doing better on second run.
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Phone does go into deep sleep but battery drain is huge, the CPU is always on load, core 2 is almost always at 1.5 ghz even when idle.

Rebooted a couple of times, didn't help.

No major wakelocks, only issue is something is constantly running, keeping the CPU at load all the time when awake.

Very very smooth though.
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
This is only in dude minutes, will see in a few hours how things are.
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Even though it is only in minutes the situation is the same even right now, Core 2 is always at 1.5 ghz.
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
same here :/
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Solution found

Found the reason for Core 2 being active all the time.(battery drain)

It is caused by this line in build.prop

"debug.qctwa.preservebuf=1"

Removed this line and core 2 went offline on idle.

Reboot after editing build.prop.

EDIT: false alarm, issue resurfaced after reboot :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] JohnnyCarrera:
i installed the latest version of carbon 1.7 (4.2.2) and i have a really high battery usage over night.

it was 25% in 8 hours without touching the device.

wakelock detection says that the main things responsible for it are a thing called "1013" which uses "audioOut_3" and "audioOut_2" a lot

plus "Google Service" which has "NlpCollectorWakeLock" as the highest user and last but not least "Android System" with "alarm Manager" and "activityManager-Launch"

alltogether my phone was awake 70% of the time over night

what do?
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
hmm, after this how long is your battery life performing? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
I switched to CM 10.2 nightly.

With Core 2 being active all the time i don't think battery is going to last more than 7-8 hours with 1-2 SOT.

If you want a feature rich ROM u can try JellyBam until Carbon gets sorted, I was on it up till now and battery life was good with MEOW kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] JohnnyCarrera:
i have to ask again. anyone got a solution?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Michealtbh:
I would never ever drink and drive, nor would I speak on the phone or text while driving, but I must admit I've flashed while driving on one or two occasions
[Xperia Z Android Development] elroy944:
Haha, I'm used to it, doing it now for more than 10 years :p

Ontopic: i can confirm mic is working again. Incal speaker still the same but i can live with that. Damnn this rom feels sooo smooth now I LOVE IT!
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
Gapps

dont know if you know about them but there are newer Gapps here http://d-h.st/ZHm than in the OP :good::fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Android Development] elroy944:
With battery almost dead still a nice score!
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
No, didn't knew it :p added the link to 2nd post :)

oh ok, I never got one like that on my rom I think, but I don't make this rom for good benchmark scores, but for the best user experience :) so smoothness ;)

BTW: How smooth is the rom for you guys?? :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] elroy944:
Very smooth! Haha what rom do you use as daily driver? KA or carbon?
[Xperia Z Android Development] marjaN_:
amazing! fix 2 seconds delay when unlock and it is top notch!
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Haven't been on KA since I started Carbon :D but I really should update KA Revolution now :p

Ok :) good :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
Joined and running

just restoring apps+data now in TitaniumB. and wow rom is much faster then my previous PAC 0514, it also calmed down my ORD and will try Carbon rom further :laugh::good::fingers-crossed::p

dont forget to come back :)

and thanks for making time before midnight very nice

PS:

is it only me but it seems that NFC is not working...or at least cannot be turned on ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
NFC has something to do with .253 fw update. If you flash stock .253 and let it boot and update NFC firmware it shouldn't be a problem if I'm right :)

And I'll update Revolution rom this week for sure ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
You are amazing, will try this ROM in a minute, has the mic-bug causing the mic to be inactive been fixed?

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Nevermind, found my answer! Great ROM man!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
is that NFC update possible via some file replacement or recovery flash .zip ?? or only by the 253 fw ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Only by flashing the fw, but I'll test it out for you tomorrow ;) because my NFC also doesn't work anymore :p

And I'm also working on adding extra features and optimization to the kernel from now on :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
thanks for the testing...i just thought that the NFC update officially replaces some files...but can live some day without NFC...:highfive:

otherwise this is blazing fast rom...

i think that the /system/vendor/firmware/libpn544_fw.so file has something to do with nfc according to FXP thread :good:

in stock 253 cwm flashable there are libpn544_fw_c2.so and libpn544_fw_c3.so ...and in RomAur there are exactly the same files in /system/vendor/firmware/ ....so maybe we can just backup carbon...flash romaur...maybe a NFC updates and go back to carbon...is it possible...what do you think ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] sswagonman:
as i was running this on note 2 and using the trinity kernel toolbox by morfic is there any advantages to using that on the z

btw omg thankyou for porting carbon to the z its fantastic but do we have an oc kernel we can use yet?
[Xperia Z Android Development] rustybathtub:
Latest update is AWESOME! thank you for this! Btw is there a way to invert the colors of the apps just like in slimbean rom?

[Xperia Z Android Development] grasshoxda:
this rom is great ! i dont have any haptic though, any way to enable it that im missing?
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
I had this issue when i disabled location access.

Solved it by enabling location access and then a reboot.

My suggestion is either you disable location access from setting and Google settings altogether and never use a location based app like Maps, Google search etc OR keep location access turned on at all time.

(Read through a lot of threads regarding this wakelock but with no real solution this is the best fix at the moment)

Could someone still running Carbon try this and report back.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Guantanamo:
Hi all,

Bug problem on theme chooser i think, as I reported it for a while on another thread and not fixed yet.

The fact is that when I apply a theme (in my case cobalt donate), when I reboot the phone it stuck on carbon boot logo, and nothing happens.

I hope this issue will be fixed on carbon soon.

Thanks and keep doing good work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] KOALAaufPILLEN:
i have found a bug

i dont know if its already reported cause if im gone call someon and hang up its gone instandly recall this person again

how to fix this ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Have been experiencing a lot of bugs as of yesterday. Clock in notification bar hangs, whereas the large clock shows the right time. Unresponsive screen which results in a inability do do anything, yet very laggy touch reactions, which results in unresponsive screen though it will open, close and sometimes nearly call a emergency number. This caused my simcard to be locked due to 3 faulty pincodes lol. Anyone have a solution for this?
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Which ver ?

Yes the latest version has lots of problems also the device maintainer seems to be busy so no solutions from his side yet.

If its the latest one ur running then I'm surprised you were able to sustain the terrible battery drain caused by certain(Anice) init.d scripts.

Version 1.7 (4.2.2) is the most stable version of Carbon uptill now if you want a stable daily driver.

Sim card problem: Call your service provider and tell them your PUK no. if you don't have ur PUK you might have to answer security questions to get it unlocked
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Latest version. Last couple of weeks it ran pretty smooth, the battery drainage isn't something that bothers me to be honest, charge it all day through USB anyway so. ;) Krab's busy but he'll see this sooner or later and probably is working on an update as we speak. He's good for that.

Sim card problem was solved, I have my puk code luckily haha, was fun to watch my phone freak out though. I'm gonna go try a fresh install before reverting to 1.7. Thanks for the response though! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Battery drain is a huge problem on the latest carbon. I hope this can be solved soon because for me its unusable as a daily :-/

Bravia Engine

I find there are only very few custom ROM's for locked bootloaders. I don't want to unlock the bootloader in my phone coz of the cons of unlocking such as losing bravia engine, not getting updates etc.

I can handle not getting updates coz you can get the new ftf some in xda, but losing bravia engine forever is what makes my stomach churn!!:crying:

Can you guys tell me if there's a big difference in screen between having bravia and not having it? Is there a noticeable difference? Also is there any mod that can restore the bravia engine after unlocking?
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Take a look here >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417368

IMO the loss of BE is no big deal. There is a small difference in image quality as you can see in the image in the link.

Anyway as long as you back up your DRM keys you can always restore it at a latter date. Running cm/AOKP/aosp is far better than running a bloated stock ROM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'll release an update tonday or tomorrow :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Glad to see you back :)

One small request, Secure settings app doesn't seem to recognise expanded desktop feature in the latest build as it did in all previous ones.

Look into it if you can, thank you.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guantanamo:
If you can, please take a look on theme chooser problem that I reported a few posts ago. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] JohnnyCarrera:
there is a tutorial on how to save your bravia engine aswell as the drm codes by rooting your device bevorehand. it should be in the general section

Bootloop after reboot, no WiFi when finally got to OS

Hi all,

I got a bootloop upon rebooting the phone today, and not restoring a 2-day-old Nandroid backup, nor reflashing the ROM did anything... eventually, the phone did boot, but now WiFi does not start.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] KOALAaufPILLEN:
Its draining the battery sooo fast -.- pls fix it
[Xperia Z Android Development] anirudhks:
[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] is the Gamma control coming soon ? :) this would be a perfect control for all XZ would make the best screen calibration
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guantanamo:
About bootloop, are you using a theme ?! This is what happens to me when I'm using one.

If Wifi doesn't start, you should do a full wipe and format system before reflashing ROM. If this can't help, try to flash another recovery and try again. Sometimes some recoveries are not compatible with some ROMs, and this end with ROM flash aborted, or some strange issues like your wifi can't start.

If all of this can't help, you have to start from scratch, I mean, flashing stock ROM, rooting, installing recovey and reflashing again the ROM you want.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Yom:
Yep, I'm using a theme! Have you noticed it happens with any theme, or just specific ones? I am usoing the Sony UXP theme. Ha dnot noticed this with the Lime green theme... hmm... thanks for the tips, sir!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
sweet, cant wait :D

hey, by any chance are you releasing a honami rom for our Z, now that you have a Z1?
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
No I'm nog doing new stock roms anymore probably. Nd PIE will be back in next update ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guantanamo:
For theme, this happens for me with cobalt donate, i've not tryed yet with the other themes i have. Maybe i'll do it later.

Anyway, you are welcome. I hope you'll get your issue fixed.

Good luck.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Yom:
So you just keep rebooting the phone until it loads the home screen, or do a wipe and start from scratch when you get the loops?
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Can't wait for new update! I love PIE controls, siked!
[Xperia Z Android Development] KOALAaufPILLEN:
Is it normal that this Rom has battery drain ? I Need to load it every 16 hours
[Xperia Z Android Development] Yom:
Normal for this version of this ROM? yep. Delete the ANice script from the init.d folder in /system/etc and reboot. I now have a 3% battery drain per hour with the screen on.
[Xperia Z Android Development] KOALAaufPILLEN:
THX i will give it a try :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
This rom had one of the best battery life for a CM based rom, its only recently that it has fallen off the wagon due to some bugs.Waiting for the update to solve it. :fingers-crossed:

Of course, my test is hardly statistically valid as it was a fresh flash. Let's see how it behaves once I put all my crap back into it ;)

And, of course, I take no credit for the ANice deletion tip. Props to the geeky dude who came up with it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guantanamo:
Nothing help with the issue of theme, I wipe everything and format system before reflashing again.

I have gotten it to eventually boot after many Dalvik cache wipes. Really sucks. Hope the next build won't have this bug.

Is 4.3 now stable enough for daily use? or should i wait?

Ii think i found in the 4.2 rom a bug.

After using the phone for 2 day the wifi can't acitvated automaticly/manually.

The phone needs a restart and it works. ODD :eek:
