[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yeah I'll add a link to Carbon's changelog in the OP, thanks for the reminder ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
[MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] , first of all thanks for being actively building Carbon Rom for our device! :) Now just two questions:

1) Carbon now has an option to change volume steps (like 30 volumes steps for media, 7 for calls etc.)? I was missing that the last time I tested Carbon, it's a really nice feature!

2) Do you compile it using any optimizations (like Linaro, -O2 / -O3 etc.)?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
1/ I think the volume steps are in again, I haven't tested this build as I built it over night and uploaded it before work...

2/ No I dont build with any optimizations at the moment. Well not quite true as the build that I have on my C6802 from the 12th I built with -o2 but I want to do some more research on effects and flags etc before I do a 'public' build with optimizations. I see that Slim has some Linaro optimizations in the build stuff, as does Liquid.

I am looking into do it ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
New build 22/3/14

Volume steps are in there (upto 60 on media)

Quick edit on quick settings
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VipiN'n'DroiD:
well I am using it as a daily ROM ... and its awesome .. but Skype Seems too buggy .. everytime Phone Freezes after a minute on skype .. doesn't seem to understand this problem ..

am I the only one facing this ?

And yeah Thanks!! to blueether again for actively working on and updating this thread .. !!

Phone goes into deep sleep once in awhile no matter using or not using any app but cannot be woken up by any method including power button. Can only reactivate by hard resetting and starting up the phone again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Is that on today's upload? Not had that issue today... I did have that issue on a old build of Slim and it was quite common on the early 4.2 Sony firmware
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 3ftguru:
This was using build 2. No issues on Build 1 and im thinking of doing a clean install for Build 3 to see if its just build 2. Then again, im lazy to redo everything
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I had this issue on the newer CM nightly builds after mars 16th, went back to mars 1. Very annoying!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I just need to rebuild the pimped port is all. I might switch to the new slimmer pimped base as I think it will also fix the reboot issue.

It was just something I knocked up in a few min and I'm no artist. A problem is that kernel boot image cant be too large or it won't load.

I have no Idea about the state of bluetooth in Carbon, and I only test that it will connect to my laptop

I believe that the chipset is quite good on the sound front but have no real way to test. I have read that some people have had good results with USB DAC.

Remember: I'm not a carbon DEV, I'm just building this for my own intrest - and you get to play as well

Could I enquire about a dropdown notification from the top?

There is this dropdown notification of what is in the notification panel that keeps on appearing and blocking the information below. I cant grab a screen shot as it disappears when i press the power button.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Thank you. Personalize a custom screen for the work off Blueether with Carbon ROM builds and let the users choose between few :)

We don't really see the quality on your pics, it's really good?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
odd, when I did a larger file size the file woul look to 1/2 load... maybe the conversion to rle was corrupt?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prasad.adam:
Media volume has gone back to 0.

Thanks for this solid ROM. A daily driver for me (on build #19).

I did set media volume to 0 once and now I can't take it further up. Stuck at zero. Tried different volume steps for media but no luck. Any other option than the factory reset?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
You can try cache and dalvik cache wipe.

If you have Xposed, uninstall and reboot, try to set sound.

Last thing before clean install is to wipe cache and dalvik, install latest Carbon build with latest GAPPS, PA GAPPS, modular package I get.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Clean install is always the solution :good:

But you could try to install ROM and GAPPS before reseting with only cache and dalvik cache wipe. Have tried before ?

There is a preview released today.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/first-impressions-with-android-l-developer-preview/

We could understand no source will be published before real version release I think.

Do the Pimped app is fixed with? Some FC / Reboot with unplug core set or gov change and others before...

Whenever i plug the USB cable and connect with computer , the phone goes crazy ... doesnt respond , screen goes on and off and i cant do anything at all unless i unplug the cable.

Latest build 22 [2014-07-13] is unstable for me. I try a normal install and after I make full wipe install and flash it with latest 4.4.4 PA GAPPS.

My phone reboot randomly, when I watch movie, when I write SMS, etc...

And I suspect a battery drain. Android system eat a lot without any raison randomly too.

Any update soon ?

blueether, do you want to host all your work for Z Ultra and maybe more in one of my server? I can set an FTP account with all autorisations for you and read only for xda users. My servers are never down...

Thanks. However i was thinking if 4.4.4 (.108) would be better?

Sent using C6833 - Carbon KitKat/Pimped Z1 Kernel
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yes, I have had random reboots over the last few days as well both on pimped kernel and CM with dt2w

I've never had .108 on my ZU so i'm not sure how it will go as a base:confused: should work fine

I wont have a build up for a few days, away for work
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
I thought that too, but for me, it seems I was too impatient when firing up the camera for the 1st time.

If I closed it after ~10 seconds Android would FC the camera and all of the cannot connect to the camera issues continue.

I waited for about 60 seconds after starting the camera app after a reboot and it worked, and the camera app has been able to connect to the camera when I opened the app a little while later. (Using 7/13 build with 7/15 CM Kernel.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
I try to go back latest stable build for me, but it's not good. GPS can't locate, phone freeze...

Don't know why but Xposed wasn't uninstalled again...

I will flash .108 ftf to reset all and install old Carbon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
I'm sorry to read that, as for Xposed persisting. ;) the ROM has options to allow certain settings and files to remain during an upgrade. DPI settings, Hosts File and Xposed are amongst the "persist" settings that can be found in Settings > Carbon Fibers > Persistence.

there's no problem

anyone can help?

thx
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
It can be cyanogenmod's bug, and most roms base on cm (ie kernel is mostly cm one), so it can be cm bug as slim and carbon has it.

If its coz kernel flash another one. Ie pimped kernel, however as i have similar bug with it, i dont think it will help (its cm based kernel tooğ

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zaxharu:
thanks Sir. any changelog? and whats not working?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
So not that many changes in carbon, but there were all the upstream changes in CM etc that I'm not going to look up

A couple of fixes in the kernel from CM, nothing user facing, but may make it more stable.

As far as I know the only bugs are tethering and camera issues that effect almost all aosp/CM ROMs
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
The 8/8 update won't boot on my ultra anyone else having this issue ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
I just got this phone and I've been panicking over this for the past few hours. I wanted to install Carbon as soon as I got it. I've installed many custom ROMS on multiple devices before and I thought the reason I was stuck was because of some silly mistake I was making myself. If you're also having problems then that probably means the ROM itself is the one causing the problems. That's reliving, a little.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
I think it is the latest update as I have been running this rom for months with no issues I went back to my back up of the 7/20 rom I would flash that one as I know it works good
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Sorry about that folks, it was my anniversary yesterday so didn't get to test any of the 4 ROMs I uploaded, will test now... For now I guess use the build from the end of last month.

Edit 01: I just booted a test version ov the same kernel with some wifi patches (tethering - still not fully working) and it booted fine so shouldn't be the kernel, I'll have to dig deeper
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
Alright, I installed the ROM successfully, but I have no Data. I have T-mobile. Calling and Texting works, but Network Data doesn't. Anyone know why?

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. I had to switch the APN to IPv6 and then make a call.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
There will be a new build up in about 30 min from now, boots up fine etc on a clean install now. Just testing on a dirty flash... Yes that is OK as well

Tethering should work now, still will need the camera patch in OP I think...

Cant test calling/data as sim is in other device but there hasn't been an issue with them for ages so I'm guessing they will work as expected

Did a full clean of the build dir and re updated to upstream. this pulled in a few small changes for Carbon but nothing that looked like it was the fix to this non boot issue, Pulled in some more stuff from CM - I'm guessing this is where the problem came from. :confused:
