How Is battery and Camera??

Hey guys how is battery life in new build. And how is camera quality?

As compared to Legacy Xperia..plz suggest...............................
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Battery life is great. Reducing data sync to the minimum I get 2 days

Camera quality is similar to LX
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Prototype18:
How do you get 2 days lol. I cant even get a full day. Data sync off and no location. Do you use 3G or Wi-Fi ? What about governor ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Governors: smartassv2 and noop

Data sync only with WiFi and reduced to gmail only and pics backup.

No mobile data on 3G, only with WiFi

I know it's quite extreme, with mobile data enabled I get just one day

Any news about a working FM Radio app?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ireun:
No. It won't work, no drivers = no radio.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AnDrOiDnEoV:
Please post any screenshots of new build and also please tell me how is the camera and video quality? 720p working without any glitch?

Hi, i want to use this mod. I have some questions for you though. What is not working with this mod? And lastly in gapps there are signed and non ones. What's the difference? In status bar when i swipe to select the options i press them but nothing happens. Also they is no play store. When i also change language to greek the on/off space becomes big and i cant see the letters behind it in the menu. Also how can i make status bar transparent? and lastly i cant make the lock screen work!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kitzfietra:
help guys. .

i've noticed that carbon rom has thick status bar. . . is there a setting for it to be thin or make the status bar transparent? same with the on screen button background i've adjusted it in carbon fiber but still its thick?

just asking guys. . . :confused:

thanks in advance. . . :D

loving the rom smooth and has long battery life . . . :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
For making the status bar transparent, just go to:

Settings --> Performance --> Advanced Settings

Enable "Force high-end graphics" and reboot :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] flamelab:
How much RAM does current Carbon kernel gives to user ? I have a Neo V with a March (4.4.2) build and I'm looking forward to upgrading it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
407 MB
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Shibab:
Nice work bro ..

Cant wait to get my hands on a more stable version :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mastaowen:
nice but the sound seems a bit crazy for me. also is halo notification present in rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Use smartassv2 and noop.. It solves those issues as reported by someone.. No halo for now..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
Carbon is amazing!

Any ideas why I cannot change the scheduler though? Governor changes as it should (I'm using setcpu), but the scheduler is always cfq no matter what I select. I'm using dark kernel (it did change as supposed to with legacyxperia and the same kernel before)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
Are you using mounts2sd? If so, you have to change the scheduler there

Sent from my Dark neo V
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
Indeed I am! Thanks a lot!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
the only bug that annoys me is the flickering sound while playing using music players like apollo and poweramp, everytime i press the next button, thers a flickering sound before it plays or while playing around the UI. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
The rom is the best I've used so far!

The only bug that...bugs me is the extremely laggy browser.. Is the reason known? If that's fixed the rom's a keeper!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
The laggy (stock) browser happens in all the KK ROMs for our devices. Note that it's not supported anymore by Google. Use Chrome or Opera, they are working fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prashobhb:
Bug: Link2sd is buggy... Every restart results in optimizing apps which clears the dalvik - cache links... might be bcos of the new partition, i guess...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
It's a link2sd issue that happens in all the KK distributions. You can use mounts2sd, which works really fine

Sent from my Dark neo V
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
is there anyone experiencing sound flickering glitch when playing music using apollo or poweramp?

everytime the music plays and you play around the UI or press the next button, theres a flickering sound that is really annoying. :confused:

Edit: also wireless tethering not working properly.

but overall, the rom is working flawlessly, works perfect with mount2sd and xposed with gravity box, almost a perfect kitkat rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] julesawdupin:
i noticed something like that on twitter, when you pull to refresh

i use Shuttle+ as music player, no problem with that
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
Hey, when you say buggy wifi, do you mean the fact that downloads over 25mb (like some large apps on Google play) seem to freeze? If yes, is the reason known?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prashobhb:
Me too having the problem playing music goes bezerk when clicking on next or other UI buttons. I thought i would use screen record and show the bug but that is also not working as the recorded video doesnot play
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prashobhb:
Fix for music bug in poweramp: go to settings> audio> advanced tweaks and untick direct music control.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ChristO1624:
Installed right now, first look is amazing. Report later.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prashobhb:
The lockscreen seems to be very laggy... when on lockscreen if i click to open a notification it takes several minutes to unlock and go to app... also if a call comes when the phone is sleeping it takes a long time to wake and show the call screen... also if halo is included in next build it would be great. in immersive mode halo could be of great use....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Offcial carbon nightlies up from 30th jan mostly.. Get that as a tentitive date.. Not sure.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prashobhb:
Something is seriously wrong with mediaprovider.apk ... its draining whole lot of battery and keeping the phone awake...

Why on haida ART didnt work ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ƒεηιx:
Because we have low storage to run art
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] garzie2000:
Does this rom work with link2sd?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ƒεηιx:
yes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] resoto:
We cant increase storage on haida by something like ext4 partition on htc desire ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ƒεηιx:
int2ext script will work you can try it.

Thread title shows an updated date of 21/09/2014 but the downloaded zip shows a 15/12/2013 build date. Did I download an earlier build?

Yep, latest build is from September 2014 with ION kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] garzie2000:
Where can I find the new download link? :confused:

I tried last build ... everything is OK but i have battery drain !

just until with no brightness setting to lowest it consume 10% for every 5 minutes

voice calls also make battery drain fast 15 mins calls equal 30 % from battery

anyone have problem like this ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krooooolik:
Hiiii,

I do want to flash this ROM on my wife's Xperia, but I need some help. I own Nexus 4 (also with Carbon), and everything is much simplier there....

I haven't been touching (speaking about ROM, kernel etc) my wife's phone for more than a year, and today I am completely lost. I did try to find answers to my questions, I lost 4 hours at night, and found only some traces, clues, without real answer. Maybe someone here will be able to help?

Wife's XPERIA today:

Super JellyBean 6.0 ROM (And 4.1.2), FusioN 5.4 kernel, CWM Recovery 6.0.3.1

First of all I know that in order to install KitKat I usually need to have CWM at least 6.0.4.4, right? I assume on XPERIAs it is the same, isn't it? So where I can find such recovery? (or TWRP maybe?) I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075562 , but this TWRP is also too low version. I can't find anywhere Neo V and KitKat compatible recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Or maybe, all I have to do is flash (fastboot) boot.img extracted from ZIP rom file,

and this operation will give me new recovery

? Then just flash ROM zip via recovery and that's it?

I will really appreciate any help...

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shubh_007:
Flash boot.img from zip using fastboot and then flash rom and gapps. Obviously you would be knowing to do a full data wipe before flashing the ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] arquillos:
Hi!

I´ve got this ROM installed on my NEO and I can´t run call recording apps. I tried ACR and TotalRecorded and both run fine but I get no recordings...any help? Kernel problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] WazzaRoo:
Hi, sorry to bother you guys but i need help. :crying:

i want to try this ROM, but i don't understand which one is the latest file to download from the download link.

so many folder. :eek:

i just downloaded this file "CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140929-2021-hallon.zip". (not yet flashed)

is that file the latest version? :confused:

i just chose hallon cause i read it got the 8 MP cam.

thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrEAmRBoY:
First off , You gotta use google before you ask questions. Haida / Hallon is the code name for your device . Neo V is Haida and Neo is Hallon . Just flashing a hallon rom in your haida will not upgrade your cam from 5 mp to 8 mp , but will break your camera. Again , when I say break , I do not mean crack the lens or something :p, but That the libs present in hallon does not support haida's camera. So if you have a neo v , flash haida and if you have a neo flash hallon. And if you want to check for the latest nightly , look for the date code in the name of the file . It is of the form " yyyymmdd " . The latest build is the one you quoted above .

Next time , do some research yourself :p .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CrystalScrew:
Guys i want help!! This rom does not include play store (neither does gapps). I found out how to do it before but now i flashed again and forgot how i made it work. I install manually the play store but when i click it it just closes immediately :/

Edit: I managed to resolve the problem. I think. When i flash the rom + gapps-kk-20140105-signed there is success. But when i flash rom + gapps-kk-20140606-signed there are too many problems to the rom. Firstly it doesnt have play store. Second it gets buggier every minute and lastly there is no options for shut down or restart. Also the middle button of the neo v does not work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ƒεηιx:
Always flash the Pico gapps.

from here
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jymsogr:
No matter watever rom I flash on my neo v the battery never reaches zero it always shuts down at 30,40,70 percent and then charges from there only but without charger doesnt go back up...

It is absent in ics rom and present in every kitkat rom I flashed...

Any solution to this
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ƒεηιx:
Recalibrate the battery status just search in play store for this app.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] WazzaRoo:
Hi, now i tried to flash with the hallon, but it failed.

said the device is haida. but of course it's hallon (neo).

i searched and found that i have to edit my build.prop file.

but the file already stated Neo, Hallon, and MT15i.

No line said MT11i, Neo V, or haida.

what should i do? flash the haida? or are there another fix?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Wind07:
Open updater-script in the zip and remove the assert lines. There is a video from highonandroid on YouTube that teaches you how to do it. I am pretty sure the title was how to fix status 7 error
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] WazzaRoo:
I've tried deleted the assert line.

still can't install.

just say "installing update", next line say "installation aborted".

doesn't say what kind of error.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nurikaratas:
guys, I cannot download the file. The download finishes but the file size is about 68-70 mb so it doesn't work. Can somebody give me any mirrors or an alternative way to solve this problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fetz93:
I have a problem. When I use wifi with this rom, and do something like update my apps, my router crashes and restarts. Its an Easybox 802, but with my previous rom i didn't issue such problems.

What can I do to solve this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AnDrOiDnEoV:
Hi developer,

Any updates to Lollypop?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrEAmRBoY:
Carbon rom is dead. Don't expect any updates.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shubh_007:
People should stop using this phone now and let it RIP. It has been serving us since 2011.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrEAmRBoY:
Nah man! Don't agree with you. If we give up on the device then it would make what mike and the others have been doing pointless.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shubh_007:
What mike and others did for this device will never be pointless. We appreciate and respect them for that. But every device has its limitations. So does this one, now people are expecting stable Lollipop for this later they'll expect Android M. That's what I'm trying to say. Personally, Neo V is my spare phone now. But it still looks as good as new. Beautiful.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xdax1:
fix status 7 error

just to clear up with status 7 error while flashing the ROM in recovery

I had that with another CWM install,

and when I flash the boot.img within the ROM.zip intself, that CWM got no problem

so just go to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img extract from the ROM's zip file.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xdax1:
can anyone provide the Gapps for this ROM? I have no play store now

I flashed the ROM and seems like my gapp is only partially working, I got no play services and no play store, also my home button is not working. I think I need another 4.4 gapps (using gapps-kk-20140606-signed) currently

i had the same issue with couple roms, two possible solutions

first: go to download manager and clear data

-at first seems like it worked but later it was same

second: format your sd card (sorry)

my idea is probably some kind of damaged or incompatible file/app/whatever keeps media scanner running all the time
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prashobhb:
As i see it after 3 to 5 restarts the app works correctly... but again after the next restart the problem is back and there is no way of knowing if it is working properly or not... Hope it will be fixed when this goes official...

3. Flashed Kernel inside the zip

4. Format System, Data, Cache

5. Installed the ROM

6. Installed GAPPS (Kit Kat (Android 4.4+)

7. Boot up into ROM, it shows setup.

8. Next Next,Next

9. Unfortunately , Setup Wizard has stopped :crying:
