Boss after fashing GApps Im getting FC on keyboard. Is there a fix for this?

I love using Google Keyboard because of the emoticons.

Edit: got it working now sorry.. :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Well, a couple of thoughts...

First is this feels really good... initial install and what not is pretty darned good. (though I miss TWRP).

Bluetooth seems reasonably stable (I have found that all of the ASOP builds have quirks when playing BT through my kenwood deck, and this is very usable in that environment...) Listened to mp3's off my external sd card for ~ 30-40 minutes this morning while driving in with minimal interruption/pauses in playback...

This is a clean install - though a few applications (games) have had data restored for them.

I'm waiting for things to settle to see what the usual battery draw is... Was pretty bad on my stock rom install...

Based on what I've seen with the Stock distribution, I want to see how this is fairing after a week or two of uptime... Seem pretty decent at this point.

Unless something unexpected arises... this will be my new driver...

Thanks for the time and effort you've put into bringing this build to us... :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Just curious, is it normal for the screen to turn on when I pull my phone out of it's holster? (And is there a setting to turn that off?)
[Sony Xperia ZL] willsonsin:
Just curious, the blur effect on lock screen...is it available on all AOSP ROM...or only available in CARBON ROM?
[Sony Xperia ZL] imkentoy:
Boss is there a way to hide the menu buttons? In order to have a full screen gaming.
[Sony Xperia ZL] xtremepredador:
Yes go Carbon Fibers>> Navigation Bar >> Dimensions >> Navigation Bar Width ! Change

for 0 DP(OFF)

Sorry My Bad English ;);)
[Sony Xperia ZL] imkentoy:
Thanks Mate!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
it's active display or pocket mode, obviously u can turn it off ;)

Tapatalked with my Yuga
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
And where would I find that in the menu's?
[Sony Xperia ZL] keenofhiphop:
There is an App called "settings". Normal users do not use this app often bit it could help in your particular situation :D

Gesendet von meinem C6503 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Apparently, it's too difficult to say it's under carbon fibers and lock screen...

I'd missed that even though active screen was turned off, pocket mode was an option on another tab in that same menu...

The whole reason why is asked was because I couldn't find it.

Also, when I uncheck double tap to wake, it reverts to being checked.

nevermind...

Will there be any updates to this wonderful rom in the future? :)

It is one of the best 4.4.4 roms out there. Some people tend to prefer kitkat over lollipop.. ;)

i know but no, no more updates, carbon team working on lp not kk basically...me either, will bring carbon on 5.0.x too but not now, i need more time

Getting Error

While trying to install this rom package, I am getting "error code 7" in philz dual recovery, on both cwm and twrp...

Something md5 check some failed or something... dont know what is wrong.. tried to place in storage/clockworkmod folder too but no luck..... I really want to install this one.. using Xperia ZL c6502 rooted 4.4.4

plz plz plz help
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
First of all, before saying its not being flashed, why don't u read xda a bit?

U can't flash aosp/cm/based roms from a recovery for stock rom.

Take a cm11 boot.img, boot in recovery, make wipes, flash rom and gapps...

In other words...follow steps from first post instead of trying your steps..

Cheers
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dagcon:
I tried to fast boot flash the boot.img and after that when try to go into the cwm (its a pink color light in device then holding up arrow to enter cwm - the light color changes into orange and nothing happens black screen) it fails, even reboot with normal startup wont work and getting stucked in the wave lading screen on device all the time, not into the the screen... so have to flash the stock rom again...

Tried twice but failed both of the time.. please suggest some solution sir
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
did u unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia ZL] CokeJunkee:
You have to flash the boot.img from Build 35.

Build 36-38 have no working recovery.

Build 35 runs great btw ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dagcon:
Yes the boot loader is unlocked

Sir 1 more thing I need help with though it is a bit off topic from this ROM..

I tried to backup my system with CWM and TWRP both, but in an experiment while i tried to restore those 2 backups from CWM or TWRP it is unable to show the file or detect the file, just showing the folders... but i checked in root explorer that files are there though my recovery is unable to detect and restore them..

Can you please enlighten me a bit... I was ahving a LG G2X (T-Mobile USA) and things are much more easier there and everything worked like a charm, but in this Xperia its really a bit hectic and confusing for non developers (users only) like me..

If you can give me a knowledge about this it will be a real help
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
true dat u are off topic with that in here, indeed sony is different but before i make roms, i was a noob and i read xda and found whatever i needed to, u better ask such questions in q&a threads buddy thanks for understanding ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dagcon:
All I wanted heart and soul is to install this Carbon ROM :(

can u add me in skype or FB and guide me a bit... just in installing this, i know u are busy but still if u get a bit time.... finger crossed
[Sony Xperia ZL] CokeJunkee:
Well, as I said, flash boot.img from build 35 and you will have a perfectly working TWRP.

I tried backing up and restoring and everything works fine. Can't tell you about other roms/recoveries.

Depending on which rom and nightly you use, the recovery might not work properly because of build failure.

You should clean flash (wipe system, cache, dalvik). Afterwards you can start to restore your apps with Titanium one by one.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dagcon:
Brother,

You are fkking awesome :laugh: :good:

Just loved the solution you given, i flashed tht boot.img from 35 then again upgraded to 38 through CWM...

35 & 38 both build worked now finally I am in 38 build and taht is only for you...

Sure u deserve a Like from me...

Thanks a lot, Finally in Cyanogen

I think all ZL kernel that features double tap to wake is facing the problem of touchscreen not working sometimes..

and something I don't like in the ROM is that the vibration has some delay

like pressing home button and then it vibrates like half second later.

feels weird for me.

one thing I noticed

gapps is already included in the ROM

no need to flash it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] prem2691:
So if I disable that double tap to wake option I won't get that problem na

Has anyone tried this with the new modem/baseband? (didn't seem to work for me...)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
What u mean? Extract .230 's baseband and flash this over Carbon?

Tapatalked with my Yuga
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
With flashtool, you can flash just the modem if you choose from the FTF...

I'd actually made a backup of my CC 4.4.2 install, flashed back to my 101 install, then upgraded to 230, rooted it, and had an interesting adventure with spontaneous reboots... I suspect my issue had to do with a dirty flash from 101 to 230...

Whatever the case, baseband version: 9x15A-ACEFWMA2Q-30110068-44, shows my mobile network type as LTE, see's the service state as in service, not roaming, mobile network state is disconnected... has an IMEI number, show's my phone number as "unknown"...

Oh, and AndroidFileHost seems to be broken at least for me tonight... (it never seems to resolve the "mirrors" link... so I can't actually download the newest image...)

Going to flash the 101 baseband back here in a few... After flashing the 101 baseband back, my phone is connecting via LTE again... :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Look for afh... Go in download folder in first post.

Then on my last build i flashed my baseband from last 4.3 fw over Carbon and ut worked perfect. But there's one thing for sure, it will never show in "about phone" the fresh flashed baseband and its normal thing.

Thé best advice for everyone: before flashing a cm/cm based rom; always come from latest firmware in order to get latest baseband...

Tapatalked with my Yuga
[Sony Xperia ZL] adibayer_:
i'm using CM11 Nightly now, and want to install this ROM

so, i have to flash back to FW 4.3, and then flash this ROM to get the latest baseband?
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Did you flash Sony .230 baseband/firmware (that's the freshly released 4.4?)

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

I flashed the 4.3 baseband only via flashtool and I'm back in business... *shrug*...

This seems to work more consistently than Sony's 4.4 did... though I should do a full wipe on Sony's 4.4 to properly evaluate it... but I like this one rom better! :)

Note that the issue I was having with no mirrors on AFH is noted on their site, and is resolved...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Its not mandatory but its better to, as i explained, come from latest fw to get latest baseband, or u could do as me, extract that baseband wich at the end will be in ftf format and u flashmode it over Carbon after each update...up to u!

Tapatalked with my Yuga
[Sony Xperia ZL] adibayer_:
i haven't download the official KK, what baseband are you recommend??

Latest FW? So do you mean KitKat official baseband? Accprding to you, what is the best baseband for this carbon ROM?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Thats the same thing i say since beginning! Lolll

Baseband is in the firmware (the best one is obviously the latest one) , u have to extract it. Or u wait im back home and i will share it here

Tapatalked with my Yuga
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Hmm... I couldn't get Cellular Data to work with the KK firmware on my 6506 with this rom...

IF you are able to make it work and I am just wrong... that's fine... I wasn't getting anywhere with that...
[Sony Xperia ZL] adibayer_:
maybe i should wait you back home and share it (the best and latest baseband), it will take a time to download full ftf.

but as [MENTION=1399672]scifan[/MENTION] said, he's got a problem with Sony KK's baseband :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
You can flash basebands back and forth with flashtool without destroying your rom configuration... just make sure you're not wiping or flashing anything but the baseband...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
The way im talking to, its only baseband.ftf so anything else could be flashed and indeed no wipes.

But i just tought one thing, i don't wanna take any chances, i have Z and not ZL...so do as scifan said, flash last fw with everything excluded except baseband...

[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Too bad we can't find someone who has a ZL they could donate to the cause...
