[Sony Xperia ZR] gmengass:
possible bug?

Hi Alx31TLse,

Not sure if its a bug or I'm just a noob, but i tried to add some lock screen shortcuts. on the lockscreen however they get displayed in a straight line below the time widget but there is no way select them.

If i enable 8 lockscreen shortcuts i then cannot select which shortcuts i would like to add, it gets greyed out.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
ok will take a look into it...still not a pro in development so be easy with me :laugh:
[Sony Xperia ZR] wai10691:

[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:

Need a custom kernel for double tap to wake

Hi, I'm new here. I just install this rom and it's neat. But one of the features I need the most is double-tap-to-wake. Which kernel should I install? I tried Meow and could not boot after installing it.

because of this I want to downgrade to 4.2.2 and install recovery and flash carbon
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
nobody told u to install recovery, u should know by yourself by using searchbox that every custom kernel has its own recovery included, so u fastboot flash boot.img and u boot in recovery...
[Sony Xperia ZR] ayene:
you said:

1. Make sure you have CWM installed and a working nandroid backup

u don't know how much I search for install recovery. I had htc and on that device kernel and recovery was separate.

read what i just told before

not the whole package

FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT.IMG IN ZIP thats the kernel...means u extract it manually.

then u boot into recovery and flash rom and gapps

come on its dev thread...all these informations are on xda somewhere in "how to threads" and tutorials...grab a chair and read because if u ask such question thats clearly means u don't know what u doing...read a bit it won't hurt i swear it ;)

I did what you told me, I did extract it from the ZIP, the boot.img then fastboot flashed it, and that appeared -_-

READ:

C:\Users\Enzo & Nova\Downloads\CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL_Dogo_build21\boot.img

CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL_Dogo_build21 is merely a folder, I just fastboot flashed the boot.img, and I never ever ask in XDA UNLESS, I haven't found the answer.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
man flashtool and its drivers has to be at the root of your C:\

not in user\docs\whatever...

did u installed like that ? and properly all the drivers in C:\flashtool\drivers ? if u running latest version u have to tick 4 boxes, flashmode,fastboot,adb drivers and z drivers.

also i recommend to change flashtool version and re download rom zip package to see if its not corrupted.

That zip is working, means the step are not properly done if package is not corrupted, or else flashtool not properly installed, no choice, if it works for everybody else it must work for u
[Sony Xperia ZR] EnzoDC:
Ill try it again later.. Thanks, sorry for all of these. I just wanna try this carbon kk rom.. thanks. Last question, I know its pretty stupid but Ill ask anyway, do I have to be in 4.4.2 stockrom or is 4.2.2 stock okay to flash this?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
i already answered this...coming from latest firmware will provide latest baseband, its not mandatory to come from latest fw but its better...

are u using this freakin win 8.1 ?

also try to shutdown all antiviruses processes while flashing...and as merhans said, u have unlocked bootloader?

All is good now :) Was successful to flash it.. Thanks. Forgot to unlock my BL :$ Didnt read the title [UB] hahaha now its okay, great rom! :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
that's why such posts are not tolerated in dev threads and also why it takes 10 posts to be allowed to post in dev threads...if it was only about me i would put this 10 messages limit to 100 to make sure people know what they do...i don't wanna be rude, but there's QA threads for that.

btw its clearly stated in op to be on unlocked BL...

Best regards
[Sony Xperia ZR] EnzoDC:
Despite your uncalled for rude attitude, Im pretty sure you were at my point once in your life. I was only asking a few questions out of confusion, you could've directed me to QA Forum immediately instead of answering me in the most uncivilized manner. Furthermore, I'd like to congratulate you for this ROM, out of all the ROMs that I have tried here, this has yet to be the fastest, the smoothest and best for me, paired wit gapps mini package.

Id like to report a bug, the wake upon pocket removal is bugged, several times it has happened to me that it won't let me touch my screen nor do anything about it but press the power button, thus making me resolve to removing the battery physically, therefore, upon playing with your ROM, I was able to remove that feature, and now, everything's better than the way it was. Oh and by the way, double tap to wake doesn't work either, but tap to sleep does. :) Not much of a big deal, but reporting anyway for the further development of this ROM.

Thanks and regards.
[Sony Xperia ZR] dannyglover:
I've experienced the same bug quite a lot. I thought it was due to a process crashing. My clock seemed to crash on boot but I think I've got that sorted now. On the last build if I booted my phone from off, then left the screen to lock itself, my phone wouldn't respond to touch and I'd have to remove the battery.The solution was to boot the phone and make sure I ran some kind of task rather than let the lock screen straight away lock. This is why I thought it was due to the clock process crashing on boot.

Anyway, the rest of the rom is great. The non-responsive lock screen seems to be better in this new version. My clock also stopped crashing – I cleared data and uninstalled before the last dirty flash. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
"uncivilized manner" ??? please don't push it...i am fair compares to a lot of other people.

Apparently reading is not really ur favourite thing since u said "i've could directed you in Q&A threads"!

yes i maybe should have do that, but let me tell u something, i was at same point as u, as everybody else; but guess what, me i have read before asking such question in dev thread. More than that? i watched that video 3 times at xda inscription...watch it again u will understand, u can also read in my signature a really usefull post.

And also for the bug u reporting it has been mentionned cuple of posts back and also further.

I don't say u have to read all thread, but use searchbox a bit before asking.

Thats exactly what i did when i was at "your point", i have read A LOT....and when i wasn t ok with steps or whatever then yes i asked questions...

Once again, im not mad or rude at all...just pointing fact that reading taking time and i did it, so everybody can do as well...and even compiling rom by yourself as im doing, i read tutorials here...all tools are here to help and show you how to, but nobody gonna do first steps instead of you.

Now we done with that...enjoy xda and i wish u all the best bro! :D

Can you port the Sony Camera App to this rom? Im not liking its default camera app.. So grainy and has no post or minimal post processing at all unlike when in the official xperia rom..
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
no

and if u take latest banks gapps u will get latest google camera...wich taking nice pictures and have nice features
[Sony Xperia ZR] EnzoDC:
The latest google camera is sh*t as heck, it wont even allow me to Save to SD card unlike the one you pre-installed with it.. How bout Bravia Engine? Can you include bravia engine in your next build? Or at least make a flashable zip of it?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
Dude u had to think about that before unlocking BL

ALL aosp roms or based on it are like that.

If u read here and there, u'll find its the same in ALL sony section, about bravia engine, play now etc etc and also sony apps like camera app walkman app etc.

u will find some port here and there of these apps for aosp but im almost sure none of them are bugless.

Im not porting apps, im making roms, basicaly if u don't like google features because aosp roms ARE google ...then best advice for you...get back to stock and stock based roms! sorry to disapoint u but its like that

...we don't do magical tricks here and if u think u can make such ports go ahead bro =) ; cuz me idk how to do that.
[Sony Xperia ZR] EnzoDC:
Ok thanks anyway, was just asking if it was possible. Reverting back to pre-rooted kitkat later.. Thanks for Carbon though, enjoyed the experience. Smooth, liquid, and efficient.
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
I wanted to try this out but one question

I have the phliz touch recovery

And the kernel includes a recovery now

Wouldn't that cause a bootloop or something that makes the mobile mad or is the kernel on the top level
[Sony Xperia ZR] EnzoDC:
Could you do something about the grainy-rainbow type of photo quality this camera delivers? :/ Cause I am inlove with this rom already and its speed, the only thing thats holding me down is the Camera, its not just the typical grainy quality, its the rainbow grain, with green, blue etc colors or grains on any photo composition.. Id appreciate it if you could do something about it, eventually donate for yhe further development of this rom..
[Sony Xperia ZR] Alx31:
i am sorry but as i told u, its google stuff and i can't do nothing for now or a near future, did u try third part apps? u have still same issue?

i have exactly same family device/rom and its "grainy" only on preview not on picture itself...

sorry im not sure about what u are asking...soon as u flash the rom u flash also the kernel, so there's only one present on device.
[Sony Xperia ZR] EnzoDC:
Oh alright.. But I wanna adress another issue. A sound bug. May it be in DSP sound manager or viper4android (Tried both to see any changes) my notif sound has this vibrating or some sort of rrrt sound before the notification or zzzt something with the sound of that. But thats not all.. Even when listening to Music, it still gives me that sudden zzzzt or rrrt of sound and its rather annoying. Making me screech my jaws..
[Sony Xperia ZR] nikhil18:
flash my lightning kernel and you wont get that sound
[Sony Xperia ZR] EnzoDC:
Your CM11 Lightning kernel? Alright :D thanks bro

EDIT: Okay the Lightning Kernel did the job and fixed it.. Now my problem is the autofocus -_- its **** as **** it cant autofocus like it used to.. Do we have any fixes/ kernels for that?? specifically for CM11 or this rom rather

how could expect i can manage to put galaxy s3 stuff for sony? u didnt think before posting...sony has its own libs and samsung also.

google code is generic (common or call whatever u like) but each vendor with blobs/libs/driver etc whatever sony related, cannot surely be mixed up with other vendor libs. Sorry , again, im not magician. :(

it is maybe working on all aosp roms; but surely not on all devices.

[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
Double tap to wake

If anyone is still having problems with double tap to wake rendering the screen unresponsive, I have a slightly different workaround than the one provided by vuckiez earlier in the thread.

Flash the build you want, preferably latest, preferably a clean flash (I have not tested dirty).

When it boots, do not allow the screen to turn off. This is imprtant!

Go to settings, change all the settings to your preferences.

Once you're done, uncheck "Double tap to wake", if you haven't already.

Don't close Settings. Reboot from the power menu.

Done. Screen will not become unresponsive anymore, as long as you do not open the display menu in the settings app. If you do, you will see that the double tap option is disabled. Now, if you close the app, and go back to the display menu, it will somehow be checked, despite the user not doing so. Instead, leave it like that, change the settings you want, then reboot without killing the app.

Bottom line: After doing this, it's perfectly fine if you kill Settings, as long as you haven't opened the Display menu.

P.S. I'm not on Carbon anymore. It was my favorite ROM among the ones available for the ZR, but I ended up missing the stock apps too much. Thank you for this fantastic ROM, Alx31TLse!
