Which build are you using? Have you done a clean or a dirty flash? Have you flashed the kernel inside the zip file?

Give us as much info as possible ;)

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

Hi all,

I've seen many posts asking question on how to install Carbon. So here you have a quick guide. Hope it will help everybody :D

GENERAL REQUIREMENT: Having the ROM zip file copied in the SD CARD. I know it's obvious, but sometimes we all forget it ;)

CLEAN INSTALL

WHEN: Coming from another ROM/Having problems after a dirty install

REQUIREMENT: Having flashed stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full FTF (If you're NOT sure, flash it again. It doesn't matter and it will save you a lot of problems)

Flash the kernel inside the ROM zip file

Reboot into recovery

Perform full wipes/factory reset

Format system

Install the ROM zip file

Install gapps

Reboot

Enjoy ;)

DIRTY INSTALL

WHEN: Upgrading from a PREVIOUS Carbon version

Flash (ALWAYS) the kernel inside the ROM zip file

Reboot into recovery

(RECOMMENDED) Wipe cache and dalvik

Install the ROM zip file

(OPTIONAL) If using mounts2sd, (in recovery) run the recovery script (it's on xda mounts2sd thread)

Reboot

Enjoy ;)

Nice share will help so many people even i was bit confused about dirty install your post helped me thantks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
can you give me the flashable recovery script link? i cant find it on official thread. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
It's on OP

Look for Downloads --> 3.4.8 (6.0.20) Recovery ZIP (Nov 01, 2013)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Will be added to op.. Thanks for this bro. :)

[MENTION=4748936]milanjm[/MENTION] Hi, If we are come from

1) different version of android, can we use the mount2sd script?

2) same version of android but different rom.

If we full wipe can for install new version carbon over the old version. Can we use the script as well?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
After a full wipe, it's useless to use the recovery script. Full wipes format (among others) /data and /sd-ext. Therefore you loose all your apps and you have to reinstall them again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jack Harper:
Is there any flashable zip with Ubuntu fonts for KitKat?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chipang:
Warm reminder for those who use mount2sd

Those who have the size of dalvik cache which is smaller than the space left, they may encounter failure on starting google service. It is because the recovery script haven't include the recovery of the linkage of dalvik cache. So, unless the dalvik cache of google service and mounts2sd can be built, u cannot enter the mounts2sd to change back the setting and encounter system failure.

Perhaps need someone the change the script a bit.

TOTALLY personal experience. may add to the guide of dirty install.

PS: Glad to have such contribution by these experience....Though a little bit worried at first because I just don't have any idea of what's happened. After a few time of reinstall of gapps through recovery and reboot, finally discovered that the problem was caused by the dalvik cache issue... Well, troubleshooting is a nice experience to me, only if I can have the problem solved finally. Scared of having the game data of some Japanese games lost...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Good to know and curious your problem.

I have the dalvik cache moved to sd-ext (I have more than 300 MB dalvik) and never faced this issue (till now :fingers-crossed:). That's why I haven't mentioned it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] halfblack:
I have exactly the same problem, both after "dirty" update and clean install (all wipes etc.)

What other info should I provide?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Have you flashed the kernel inside the zip? (I imagine you did, but just in case)

Try to reproduce the error and provide logs (logcat). It will help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
someone on Arc thread say that using other kernel will cause this error.

i hope the next Dark Kernel update will work on this rom cause till now im on AORP rom which is a little outdated.

i want to switch back to this rom cause no one is maintaining the AORP rom now.,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chipang:
Perhaps problems of the Gapps. I have encountered this problem at first.

Use Slim_4.4.X_gapps_Nbsss_v2 http://d-h.st/MQW
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Dark kernel and "Carbon" kernel (the one inside the zip file) will give you 380 MB RAM. And this is a huge improvements for our devices.

The only advantage I find in Dark Kernel is the OC option. And unless you're a heavy gamer, you will not find any advantage and high battery consumption.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] halfblack:
Nevermind.

I flashed stock once again, did factory reset + formats (redundant too). Flashed kernel yet again, zips in recovery and it's working.

I must've missed something previous time.

Thanks for fast replies.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chipang:
I have this issues. Perhaps it is because of have wipe the dalvik cache? Have you do so in the dirty update? Thx

After I have fixed the problem and successfully entered mounts2sd , yes, dalvik cache has not been mounted to sd-ext
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Nope, when doing a dirty install I simply flash new kernel, install ROM and mounts2sd script. Unless there's major changes it will suffice. I know it's recommended to wipe cache and dalvik, but I'm too lazy to do it :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gjole86:
should be .. but it has amazing requirements for apps storage space. just system and gapps and its like 75% full ..

and to be honest, i havent seen any major performance upgrade, maybe like 200 points in antutu
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
It would better if you guys go through the first 2 post before asking whats working or what's not.. This was the reason why mike has locked his threads.. Please understand and help us by following simple steps.. It will be beneficial to both you and me.. Thanks.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lsdty:
Very good ROM, great job hope for better news!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Next alpha will be up soon with support for more devices and probably a working Bluetooth too.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kanth1991:
I was amazed by its Boot up time , in all kitkat editions it took me always 1 to 2 minutes to boot up ,

Now as for problems i found :

--Bluetooth ( its already known that )

--Settings after pressing menu in Home page next to wallpapers and widgets doesnt work.

-- Dialpad , i have to tap once , then it gets bugged , then i retap to go back to hidden dial pad and then again tap to open it normaly ( seen that again in other kitkat roms )

-- No media players?

--As for wifi hotspot it worked for me ( well at least it got on dunno if they can connect to me till far )

--Features of carbon rom are in the "more..." Section which make its ugly

Thats for now !

And one question Goomanager , Whats that for ?Can we update the rom through there after ur release a next alpha ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
No.. Goomanager has been default added in carbon.. Once i reach over to beta i will remove useless stuff.. :) media player will b added in next build.. Did wifi hotspot work for you?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kanth1991:
It opened but , i didnt check if i could connect to it to use a network from it cause im on skype atm xD

Check the settings though i told u ! it doest nothing after pressing!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Yess i will.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kanth1991:
Still checking it out , Battery consumption is great till far , i even had GPS among with WIFI And full brightness and after 4 hours im still on 80%

Nicely done.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hamed_forum:
keyboard on screen?by use probe.bulid is active but big then use immersive its better

recently many kitkat and this rom we chat shake and pepole nearbody dont work and exit we chat
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lolsky:
Create one, stable 4.1.x (or higher) with fully working camera (enabled 720p@30fps).

That would be the best ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
For 720p you need kernel supporting it.. I am working over it on Super fusion kernel.. And you can use that kernel with any 4.1.2 roms.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lolsky:
Keep on doing it!

Jelly Bean/KitKat kernel supporting HD = <3

You would be my god. *_*

But now, I'm staying on GB :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
I really doubt 30fps will be available... 720p@17fps is the best available....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kanth1991:
One short question , boot time depends on ? i was booting blazing fast but after installing and uninstalling some apps my boot time increased to slowwww -.-
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
All the apps you run during start up have an influence on boot time

Installing rom with dark kernel

Will installing this Rom with Dark kernel cause any problems?Has anybody tried using that or should I always use the included kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Use the kernel inside. If not, it's more than probably that WiFi doesn't work.

Current dark kernel is not up-to-date

Sent from my Dark Nexus 5
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chipang:
wanna ask if the kernel inside has the support of call recording?

Suddenly interested in it.

If there aren't such support, it's fine.

Anyway thx a lot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] medo_h_e:

Great ROM and nice updates.

Strange issue faced and need help from experts. I'm getting constant SMS from "Cell Broadcast Channel 50". receiving every 5 mins or so. Previously I thought it was related to location , So I turned off the GPS, but it kept on coming. I turned off Data & wifi - No luck. Its eating my battery as well .. ANyone has solution or faced similar issue?

:crying:

Attaching screenshot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Have you checked the cell broadcast settings (on Settings --> More ... --> Cell broadcasts)

There's an "Alert reminder" option (set it to off)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ankurvij:
Yes, its already set to off, but still getting annoying messages. :crying:

I realize that the mic volume is rather small for my phone. After googleing I found that somebody go inside the engineering mode to change the setting of the mic volume. Is it possible for me to do so if I use this ROM? If yes, how to enter? Thank you very much.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrEAmRBoY:
I found a major bug.... Dunno if it's that major,though. ..... :P

Anyways...

When I connect a headphone (no mic) to my Haida , and I play music , the music plays flawlessly along with eq.

When I connect a headset (with mic) , and I play music , the music seems .... Muffled ... Like there's something blocking it.

When I press the mic button on my headset , the music suddenly plays normally , if I remove my finger from the button , it's gagged again.

I'm currently using the latest build ,with the latest kernel.

Can someone please help ??

Thanks in advance ...........
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Deeps66:
I don't think it's related to ROM. Because, I too had faced the same problem, it's something related to headphone compatibility with Phone... I have a Skull candy headphone,it's the same with any ROM not just with this. One thing what you can do is,don't insert the jack completely(keep 2-3 mm above) , at certain position it will work properly.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pduke7:
how can I change the grid settings for app drawer? it is completely random and usually packet up with no reason. it has been mentioned before but no solution.

also, I can't find the new 'flip to reject call' feature...

cheers everybody. this ROM is the best thing ever happened to my neo v!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] medo_h_e:
I guess you can't

for flip open Phone>Settings>Flip action

are you faced sensor problem ?

when you call or receive a call on low light, the screen can't off

also i got WiFi issues on the last build
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jack Harper:
Latest build has a bug with folders for me, applications moved to SD card and put in the folder disappear from the folder upon reboot, they are still on SD card and working but they disappear from the folder upon reboot and need to be readded.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] touns_j:
i use link2sd for that ,i moved the apps to the sd using link2sd and the option "create a link" in link2sd and it works just fine
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jack Harper:
Thanks but it is not a major issue, I dont reboot often so it is not a problem to drag 3-4 applications in the folder after each reboot.

back button

why sometimes back button is not working? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] touns_j:
are you sure you performed a clean install ? the issue you're having seems to happen when your whatsapp database is corrupted (or you're using different version of whatsapp+)

do a clean and install and do not restore your whatsapp backup. ir should work

ps: i am using whatsapp+ and i used to to use whatsapp , and they both work well with the rom

back button work perfectly here , maybe your button is worn out ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] uglyking14:
i dont think so because when i hold back button same time is working and app killing

its weird :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] touns_j:
that's weird cos it work just fine on my neo
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] uglyking14:
especially on some apps not working (not always, sometimes) example: candy crush, my dictionary app and some games
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] WaterMelon90:
I faced this in previous version. But now working fine. Not sure is whatsapp problem or Rom. Maybe you try to clean install again.
