Test build to see if BT is working again:

Build 31 a [2014-10-18]:

CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20141020-1740-togari.zip

CM 11 kernel with dt2w

Not tested
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
Thanks a lot for the new build mate!! I can confirm that it's working great, including the new features like the volume steps, even with ART enabled.

However, one thing I've noticed with this new build and every other recent firmware based on the CM kernel, is some scrolling lags (stutterings) in most apps. I don't remember seeing it on the previous builds, so perhaps it's a recent change on the kernel.

I say it's most likely something in the kernel, because the stutterings simply stop as soon as I change the CPU governor to "performance". Everything then becomes butter-smooth. I tried to tweak several parameters of the "interactive" and "ondemand" governors, but it didn't help much. I noticed that the GPU isn't scaling properly, at least it's what Trickster Kernel Mod shows me: when performing intensive operations, the CPU scales up, but the GPU scales down (to 200 MHz). When idling, it goes back to 320 MHz, but never more than that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 3ftguru:
Build 3 also has the issue of not waking up from deep sleep. I was using TiBu slightly before having to leave the phone for a minute. The next moment I came back to it, it doesn't respond to waking up from power Button or proximity sensor either. I had to reset the phone to restart and use it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
CM changed lots of things around the 12th, Slim no longer builds, no LiquidSmooth since then. Then stuttering and deepsleep issues also started after that date.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
OK, yesterday I had this deep sleep issue 3 times when trying to wake the phone using the power button. I think I had not had the issue as I normally use a flip cover, anyway I could sitll wake the phone up with the cover even when the power button didn't work (You could try turning the phone over for 30 - 60 seconds?)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
Have you tried an older CM kernel, to see if it's really kernel-related? Anyway, I'm about to flash my device again and make some tests in this area... Hopefully just changing the kernel will solve it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
So, I've just tested Carbon build 20140322 with a NEWER, not older, CM kernel, from build 20140325. I also changed the default CPU governor to ondemand, and tweaked its settings to closely resemble what Sony has configured for 14.3.A.0.681. Result: much, much smoother. Perhaps the stuttering is even gone, but I'd rather wait for other people to test before saying that.

The ondemand CPU governor settings I used were:

down_differential = 10

down_differential_multi_core = 3

ignore_nice_load = 0

input_boost = 0

io_is_busy = 1

optimal_freq = 960000

powersave_bias = 0

sampling_down_factor = 1

sampling_rate = 50000

sync_freq = 960000

up_threshold = 85

up_threshold_any_cpu_load = 80

up_threshold_multi_core = 70

[MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] , do you want to test using this kernel and governor settings? If it really solves the issue, perhaps a new Carbon build would be good. I haven't, however, tested the Sleep of Death issue, since it never happened to my device (or at least I never noticed), and it's hard to reproduce, since it seems to happen randomly (if you have a test case for that, I'll gladly test).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CheesySeb:
I love this rom, devs you are awesome.

The only 2 things keeping me from using this as a daily are the aweful sound quality compared to the stock kernel, and the lack of MHL support / output?

Can we add MHL output? And is there a way to ditch the high-pass filter for the main speaker? When you play a game / listen to something with bass on the stock kernels/rom bases (even gpe rom) you can feel the phone vibrating with not very much, albeit still -some- low freqs. However even tweaking the eq and upping the bass boosts etc I cannot get anything other than high frequency with distortion.

I've tried using the 4.3 and 4.4 stock kernel, they don't boot unsurprisingly. Also the GPE port kernel, same result.

Is MHL output as simple as an apk? There is output with the gpe roms, so I know it's possible with an AOSP base.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
Regarding the sound quality, I always use ViPER4Android, either on stock or alternative firmwares. It will improve the quality a lot, and you can do a lot of customization. Search here on XDA, there's an official thread with instructions.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I never really had a stutter, not like I did on Stock 4.4.2 and I haven't been able to get the SoD to reproduce on demand.

I could do a kernel build from the stable branch, might just solve some of the issues :confused:

I would have thought that MHL would work, cant test here unfortunately. Just did some testing with the sound and it looks like DSP manager isn't working in the build from the 22nd although the sound output isn't too bad it is lacking a little base.

I'll do a stable kernel build for testing and upload it...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 3ftguru:
I noticed that the SoD comes about when i used both power save governor and settings in the performance menu.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Kernel built from CM11 stable branch if anyone wants to test, it wont have some of the new fixes in from about the last month

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=5022
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
Thanks! So far I've been using the CM11 kernel from 20140326 without any issues, but I'll try this kernel if the SoD or stuttering happens.

(BTW: your latest build + CM11 20140326 kernel + ART is blazing FAST!!!)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] amk:
is there possibility to add center clock with date? also nav bar buttons size as well.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
blueether..thanks..any way you could add twrp recovery to this? I used slim rom boot.img in past with carbon as it had twrp but lately does not work on latest versions by yourself (maybe because of how cm11 has changed)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
Camera bug

I think I found the only bug so far, but it's definitely not something exclusive to Carbon, but to all CM11-based firmwares (as I've seen it before with other firmwares): the camera freezes sometimes when opening, with a static image. Then, if you kill it and try to open again, it says "can't connect to camera". Only option is a reboot. Even if you try a different camera app, it's the same.

I found a possible workaround: when turning on the phone / rebooting, immediately after the boot is finished, open the camera. It should open without the bug, if you are fast enough. After that it will continue working normally. It seems something in the camera driver or libs gets messed up after boot.

Since I don't use the camera that much, it doesn't bother me, but I've seen several commits in CM11's nightlies changelog (and Carbon's gerrit), in the last few days, related to camera, stagefright, audio etc. Perhaps that will solve the issues? Can anyone who tested a recent (> 2 days ago) CM11 confirm?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dhoang:
Look like there is a new update. Thanks blueether. Changelogs?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
There is a link to the change log in the OP. It reads something like:

More quick settings fixes

Lots of small fixes

Dark Carbon fixes

I cant even connect to any paired device. It just see unpaired devices and only (dont know how to call it) "get to know them" (mean they are shown as known in bt settings, but not connected) <- i dont know if its pairing, coz my headphones doesnt "talk" (yes there is sound on pair/connection) about it when phone founds them

Tried with all my devices and nokia bt headphones. I could live without bt sharing (im using wifi), but cant live w/o music :P

Like, I rebooted my device earlier, first few times were fine, but then there's that one reboot that gets rid of all the user apps, even though they're sitting fine in /data/app.

Not just this specific device either, I experienced this in the latest build of Carbon on the Galaxy Note.

If so, that oughta suck. And yes, I have clean flashed all the way from FTF to recovery to system.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
3g/lte are not the problem (it will just be unused part of rom/kernel).

Flashed the ROM's boot.img

Boot into recovery

Flashed the Carbon zip

Flashed Pimped/GreatDevs kernel

Reboot

*boot loop*

Reboot into fastboot and flashed Carbon's boot.img again to fix the issue

Could it be the FTF or I'm doing something wrong here?

Hi guys, I've searched this thread but couldn't find anyone else with a similar problem:

On the latest build, after 30/40 screen unlocks my backlight fails to turn on.

The only way to get it back is flash the rom again, but then it's sucky and FCs a lot until I do a clean install (wipe data, dalvik, system, and cache before flash)

I haven't flashed any fancy kernel or anything, just the rom and PA Gapps. This is the only rom that gives me the vibrating bass I used to get before kitkat, so I'd like to use it as my daily but not being able to see the screen is a *slight* hindrance

I was using newest build only for 15 minutes, but had 3g/4g on,and everything was fine, dont count bt. Used pa gapps too, so they are not the problem.

Hi blue

Thanks for the great rom, been playing with settings for the last couple of hours. The whole Pie thing is quite interesting.

Just a question though, I saw there were a few posts about the auto rotation not working but that was a few versions back. I downloaded your latest one this afternoon but can't seem to get auto rotate to work. I have it enabled in both the system settings and Nova launcher, but I can't get anything to rotate. Not the home screen, not Firefox, nothing.

It's due to the nav bar customisation feature that most ROMs have been including lately. Ours is not the only device with the issue, so I'm hoping someone will figure it out soon.

It's built with Zombie kernel, which I like for a balance between performance and battery life. You may try installing the CM or Slim kernel instead and seeing which you prefer.

Xposed 5.1 Alpha 4 works here! No idea what the problem could be... Wiped cache?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 341464:
Yup, everything works now. I'll give this a try for a week or so.
