Just uploaded a new version of the Carbon ROM and default CM11 kernel. This is just a straight build, no extra optimisations and normal CM kernel. If you liked the Pimped kernel the the one from the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2730353, should work just fine.

Notable changes:

Small changes to Battery Saver Mode

Fix Dialer/Phone background color being white when using Dark Carbon

Added ability to pause/resume downloads

Fix text messages not being received due to blacklist bug

Added Battery Saver Mode (not sure if this was in the last 'stable' build)

Plus other upstream updates

Nothing really new in the kernel except that it's updated to include 757 stuff.

Enjoy

Just finished editing the OP and added a post
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] arceles:
The Dialler crashes on me, and the numpad does not work when I directly call a contact on the newest built. Everything else seems to work fine. I wiped everything before flashing this built.

EDIT. It crashes when I apply other cm11 theme than the default.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Odd, worked here, and works with the pimped kernel. Not tested the themes, was it working on the other builds? I know that there were issues in one of the older builds.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] arceles:
Forgot to say thanks :) dialer only crashes if I apply other cm11 theme, if not, it works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wickedninjalo:
I can't replicate the dialer crash and I tried to do this with a couple other themes
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] arceles:
Perhaps it only happens with the theme I tried to apply? toi be exact it is LovinsXperiaZ1Theme_ICS_JB_KK

Edit, what's going on with the roms? I had to go back to build 6 because even my camera stopped working, went to built 6, tried the camera and didn't worked, then flashed the slimkat kernel and it worked again, then tried some stock kit kat rooms, the same camera problem... what's going on?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Awexit76:
Please don't kill me, but do I have to do the boot. IMG thing if I am just flashing the update? Is that an every time thing or just new rom thing?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
If u flash zip in recovery, boot.img is flashed too, so if u use rom's kernel u dont need to do nothing, but if u were using other kernel (like pimped or slimkat) u need to reflash it too, coz update will overwrite it with carbon kernel

just when you switch from stock to custom normally.

Boot into recovery

wipe cache and dalvik cache

flash ROM update

reboot

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Awexit76:
O ok. Gotcha. I thought it was every flash, so just that one time? Makes it tough for a Crack flasher if I have to every time...

I am running this ROM on my c6802 and picking up a c6806 this afternoon I have everything set up just the way I like it on the c6802 do you think I can restore a c6802 backup on the c6806 the ROM is not specific to the model number so I was thinking it would be ok what do you guys think ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
I think u can. However only if ure using cwm (i think all kernels has just twrp) coz twrp (or philz) is making backup of ta partition too, which is different for every device

Should work as long as there is no TA in the back up. if there is it will brick the device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Using the latest build, Bluetooth is always off after a reboot, requiring me to manually turn it on.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Think of it less as a bug and more of a battery saving feature ;)

I haven't flashed the latest build to my ZU yet so cant say If I have the bug or not, and I did a 'make clean' when I built the GPe version so I dont have a copy to test on
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
I have one additional (?) bug, but dont know carbon's or pimped kernel's. I cant turn of my ultra. Power off works as a little "longer" (more waiting between turn off and turning on) reboot

Can't figure out how to get the aosp browser working on my c6806 it is working fine on my c6802 that is the last if my set up and can't get it working ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
The AOSP/CMBrowser is included in Carbon. If you are wanting just the stock regular AOSP version, check the playstore and search for AOSP Browser Installer. That's what I use when I'm on Stock Rom.

Also after it installs the browser for you, you can then go ahead and delete the Installer App.:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] STONEMF2:
hi , thought it is the fastest and best costom ROM i have come across...BUT........

when i play strike team it crashes on startup.......everytime....and i m pissed with that.......PLZ...tell me whats wrong...i just installed this rom and installed the game buti t just cannot start...WHY????? never had the prom with other rooms...

EDIT- i read somewhere...it might be because of ART that some app are not compatible and some are....how true is that...and if i switch to dalvik from art now...am i gonna loose anything .......?? PLZZ Help.......
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
If you are using ART, it could be the reason. No, you don't lose anything by switching the runtime between Dalvik and ART.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] STONEMF2:
WOW..i tired and my benchmark results are way better than ART.....??? it is suppose to be faster than dalvic but still my phone is faster when u sing Dalvik.

one Q........------.......how can i change FONTS??? tired Font installer... i guess its not working....any advice from Nice guys... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Maybe hifont? I just heard about it last time. Or u can do it manually

And art is in somekind of test phase so its still worse than dalvik in many ways. Its one of the reasons why there is no xposed for art. In the future it should be a lot better but not know.

Sent using C6833 - Carbon KitKat/Pimped Z1 Kernel
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
It is supposed to be faster mostly at apps startup, because they will be compiled to native code in advance (not just-in-time like Java/Dalvik). I've read some benchmarks around, and ART wins in some aspects, but loses in others. Regarding benchmarks, some of them always give much lower "runtime performance" scores when using ART; it could be the way ART handles things that are probably not taken into account by the benchmark apps.

Nevertheless, I always use ART when running custom firmwares like Carbon, because given the added features, I don't feel the need to use Xposed modules, and I feel things a little snappier with it.

Use ifont free or donate. Working on carbon and stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
Just flashed the ROM, it seemed to have went OK, no problems during flash or when it booted, etc, but a HUGE problem I'm having is it's showing "Invalid card" and I'm not getting any mobile connection. Tried restarting, taking out the card and putting it back in (although flashing to other ROMs confirms the card is working fine), tried going into settings > mobile > searching networks, and registering on available networks, but all to no avail (registering results in "can't connect to this network right now").

What did I do wrong? What am I missing? Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You are the first to report that problem.

What other ROMs have you tried that worked?

Have you flashed them since flashing Carbon?

What Sony firmware were you on before you flashed Carbon?

I think it will be #3 that will be the problem, need a 4.4 FTF as a base for all the new ROMs
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VipiN'n'DroiD:
Been a While .. no new Updates ..

can't wait to use Peek on Carbon .. :P

Uploading build 11 (11/05) now

New build is up: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=6106

Has DT2W enabled, nothing new in kernel

Recovery doesn't seem to work in this build :(

Download any of these kernels: DT2W_CM11_build-9.zip or CM11-Kernel_Carbon-default_build-9.zip from the download tab above or PimpedKernel and flash immediately after flashing the ROM (don't reboot between flashes) to have a working recovery
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
So far I've tried PAC, Paranoid Android, and back to stock, in different orders and different versions (playing with differences between JB and KK), and this ROM so far is the only one that shows my card is invalid. Another problem I discovered was that Carbon didn't recognize my 64GB SD-Card - and whats worse, it that it made CWM not recognize it either. So I was unable to recover backups or flash any new roms for the card because it was never noticed, even on a boot to recovery. I had to put the ROMs in the root directory for CWM to see them and flash back (went back to PAC for now because mobile service is a necessity), and the SIM card and SD card are now perfectly recognized, CWM recognizes the SD card again too. Was a huge scare though thinking that the flash somehow destroyed a 64GB SD-Card with all my backups on it though and i couldnt flash form sd anymore.

Errr, ok, feeling stupid, it's been so long since I did any phone tweaking (about a year up until yesterday) I forgot what sony firmware I'm on or how to even check it (can't seem to find any obvious info in settings > about phone). If you can kindly remind me how to find that info I'll post it. Hope the info I've posted so far helps though, as I've heard some good things about this rom and I'm looking forward to trying it.

Don't know if it matters but I'm also in China using the mobile networks here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
The only thing I can suggest it to do a full flash of a 4.4.2 FTF (sony's 757 firmware) then flash carbon's boot.img from flashtool/adb and then install the ROM again. This wont fix the 64GB sd card though. there has been atleast one other user that there 64GB card wouldn't mount. never found the reason, but was probably the FS that it was formatted with.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wickedninjalo:
Awesome! Thank you for the update! DT2W awesome! Thanks again!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VipiN'n'DroiD:
Loved the tablet interface of the ROM ..

But facing a issue here.. ( IDK its only me or someone else facing same)

Carbon Fibers or Carbon Settings doesn't open and an error pops up 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.'
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tonylee83:
same here... I have flashed after factory reset... should I dirty flash it from previous build?

Another thing is that the new boot img does not allow me to enter recovery mode >< I had to use boot.img from previous build.

@@@Flashing from previous build works and it's no tablet dpi when u flash it from the last build :D

Thank you tablet looks amazing tho
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Its 240dpi (or other other than 320) bug. On 320 carbon apps working fine. Im using 240 too and for this apps needed to go back to 320 for moment

I am also not able to get into recovery

How do I get the recovery back ?

Edit can I just flash the pimped kernel using flashify ?

Flash the boot.img using flashtool or quickimg or adb from one of the kernels that I mentioned above, then from recovery flash the whole kernel zip to make sure all the modules match (else wifi etc may not work0

cant change the dpi due to superuser stop working.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
at 240 you probably will have problems, as discussed many time in other threads...

So you are stuck at 240 at the moment? Just flash the ROM again and only wipe the caches and keep data. that will keep all your settings etc but will return the system to how Carbon/CM/aosp made it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Has anyone else had issues with calls on the newest build, or is it just me?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krumbs:
I do, too. Not able to hear the other person. Happened 3-4 times and had to reboot and call back.

Also, Settings crashes when I open the Sound entry. I am not able to change the ringtone, and the default one does not work. Missed a few calls because of this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
Hmm already done full wipe and everything, so dont need to wipe data?

however it think it will keep 240 as in your current latest rom build.prop

see attachment.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Sorry, I hadn't tested calls in a while, I would have thought that with them working for the last 3 or more months in the CM11 tree that they would still work :eek:

That puts the last 'stable' build at 10 (or 11, if you flash a different kernel).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Sorry about that, I forgot to change that back after doing a test, I wonder if that is why calling and sound settings are crap in the last build?

There is another build in the download section (still 240 dpi) that I haven't tested yet as I build over night and just uploaded before work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Ok 4th build in 4 days, this one should be better :D

Sound settings work again

DPI back to stock 320

Did a clean install by clearing off /system and reported back Launcher3 FC in the 1st and 2nd build of this 4 days. Tried previous builds no issue.

wipeing/formating system does nothing in regards to clean or dirty flash, all good ROMs will format system when they install. the data partition is the one that needs to be wiped for a clean flash - factory reset does this and the cache partition

Has anyone tested tap to pay with this rom? I tried with an earlier build and it couldn't work. Wallet works and no errors, but when I go to touch my phone to the pin pad it doesn't do anything. If I go back to GPe rom port it works again. Thoughts?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I know you may feel pissed, but the above is near imposable to read and understand. Did you flash this coming off another ROM, not off Carbon? Did you wipe Data or the caches?

As I said, I didn't have any issues with this update.

You could of cause go back to the old ROM if this one is unstable for you
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] STONEMF2:
OK Let me go step wise step:-

i'm on carbon built....carbon-kk-unofficial-20140502-1852

and i m trying to upgrade to carbon-kk-unofficial-20140515-0633

but in the process after flashing dirty this rom version .. i m getting System ui chrashing again n again.

and i cannot loose all the data i have on phone for a clean install.................now u tell me ....????

how can i dirty flash this new version on older version without loosing my data and without SYSTEMUi crash!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: i tried clean install n i cn see it works ....but never works on upgrading.....(after android backup)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Strange coz 2-3 hours ago i update form 0502 to 0515 without a problem. Everything is even better than before.

So i dont think its rom/update bug

I can say that all i did was making backup->flashing 0515->gapps+walkman+pure performance->wipe cache and dlavik and than reboot, and everything was working fine (i got systemui crash on second boot but it was once and now working fine)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] STONEMF2:
Then ...WTF ...is wrong with me......can it be coz of XPOSED framework installed on my rom...or any other program bug!!!!????

Can u replace the system.apk with the older one ........through the zip i flash.....
