not really on visual...but more its recent; more sources are clean and build is stable ;)

To all of those who after flashing the latest build, have red frame flashing border just disable strict mode by adding this following line at end of build.prop and reboot:

persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
THX for the code. I have the some "bug"

I cant disable the developer Option

I cant record my screen
[Xperia Z Android Development] vashollow:
can i just dirty flash it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
did u clean installed it?

i didn't even know that we can disable dev options lolll...

[MENTION=4354891]vashollow[/MENTION]

i made it by dirty flash from previous build with a backup and everything seems t be ok.

BTW since cuple of builds, im using lightning kernel...some of u also?

how u feel it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] vashollow:
i'm not test yet flash the lightning kernel to last build.

i don't know that kernel can flash at carbon rom. lol.

if you already flash it, how about it? it is good?

*sorry for my very bad english. :silly:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
i like it cuz more governors and oc and seems like stable
[Xperia Z Android Development] vashollow:
how about battery life? as i see at the thread it will overclock your device. i think there will use a lot of power and draining the battery very fast.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
its not overclocking by default, my device is always underclocked @1,2 or 1,3ghz ...i use oc just once in a while if i multi tasking or use heavy apps or oc gpu for videos...

But for "my regular use" i feel battery life pretty much the same as carbon's included kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vashollow:
i already flash the lightning kernel. here i attach the performance setting via trickster mod. am i doing it right?
[Xperia Z Android Development] freshbooy:
I have lags on Clash of Clans!! Wtf?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
[MENTION=4354891]vashollow[/MENTION]

don't use conservative...it keeps cpu for too long on same frequencies...and mp decision working here

use lionheart or wheatley

and gpu gov ok

and lower gpu freq u don't play or watch movies...

Cant select music effects from sound setting....
[Xperia Z Android Development] italian94:
Hello First of all congratulations for the work you are carrying out, I wanted to try this rom, I would use the rom every day as stock and so it must be bug-free, which build should I download?

Thank you
[Xperia Z Android Development] comax70:
Sono italiano vai tranquillo e ottima solo che con twpr dual recovery mi da errore al restore...
[Xperia Z Android Development] italian94:
Very good neighbor, but we have to use English for regulation ... which version you downloaded ?, try to fleshare with PWZ recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bnm15:
i have tried all CM11 version available and the stability of them are still....unsatisfactory :(

gonna try this ROM for now and test it

one question to ask: is GPU profile tweak-able and overclock-able? or do i have to install 3rd party kernel?

thank you mate!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
overclock abilities are KERNEL features...not rom, and im currently running with lightning one perfectly

[MENTION=5941841]italian94[/MENTION]

why don't u fastboot flash included kernel to flash the rom then ???
[Xperia Z Android Development] the-blind-bandit:
Great work :)

Definitely sticking with this rom. No problems yet but can someone tell me how to change the lockscreen background
[Xperia Z Android Development] ziloh:
Is here any solution to the wifi problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
wich wifi problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ziloh:
Well, I hasn't install this rom yet but, I got the stock 4.4.2 y I can't connect to any WiFi signal, yesterday for instance I connected for two hours then it just was impossible, I touched to connect but the connection was there saved with attempts to make it but with no success, I'm gonna try this ROM tomorrow for sure, then I'll be giving news, hope somebody can help me. Greets
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
U not on Carbon but u asking here if there's a wifi issue on your rom...kinda weird; btw i already told i have no wifi issue at all on last carbon build, like previous ones :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] ziloh:
I know it might sound weird, I'm desperate to give a solution to my problem that's why I asked for help, anyway today I'll be installing your rom pal. Thanks for your reply.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
i hope your bootloader is unlockable cuz without this, u can't flash cm/cm based roms

u surely made a mistake becuz i just flashed latest build and i added previously mentionned line at the end of my build.prop and red frames border disappeared...

sound glitches are issue from cm but if u flash lightning kernel over it...it's less present
[Xperia Z Android Development] aaurnab:
Yes Dear, I had some mistake or the roms was not fresh....A fresh install your ROM and write the script the red border is disappear....I am flashing Lighting Kernel. Can you describe what the difference between Blob's vs Yours. I really lie your ROM.

thanks again
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:

can I flash over on ur previous build33 without wipe?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Thats what i did yeah it seems to be ok...but u know what to do then if u have bugs ;)

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Xperia Z Android Development] aaurnab:
yes I know restoring myself:P.

one thing I surprised how to manage to wake by double tap is it battery consumed while the device is in deep sleep? I know it is a noob question.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Hum make a clean install then to see if problem persist. I only used bootable recovery from omni and changed flags and whatever...nothing related to kernel and dt2w so if still issue then just switch it off...
[Xperia Z Android Development] aaurnab:
Thanks. Assume this is a nice build. After 2 hours on battery seems that battery life more improved...

One thing that after call ended screen not wake on...

Is there be available Xperia throw.... Or widi?

Edit: sorry I overlooked display>screen cast
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
i also had battery drains from google services...idk wich so i greenified everything; since then everything ok, still on dirty flash
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
i do not have any. assuming i sleep at 3am and woke up at 12pm = it only drained 2% and it wasn't fully charged.

but as soon as i start using then the battery does go down faster. :P

all you have to do is to switch off location reporting under Location. both of them must be Off. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
No i was on dirty flash but everything ok by now...

I made myself a new build but i won't publish it...we we'll start tonight/tomorrow tests with OTA
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Hey guyz here are new build; from wich; a clean install is required.

From build36; next one (37) will be available by OpenDelta way....flash that sh*t and in 2/3 days watch ota update

next job will be to merge new branches...but i would like to wait cuz i spoke to ULD from cm team and i will push next sony's update wich i hope...will be 4.4.4 cuz we have old blobs in here...

build 35 was test and ok; but not setted up to receive ota

Build 36 here

[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
hmm these cm merges are the ones with the official kk 4.4 from sony?

that would mean our battery life would increase a whole lot?

but what other things will there be improved tho? :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Yes they are...

Battery life was already awesome when used smart ;)

Test it u'll see by yourself

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
sure thing, currently on stock again as the 4.4.4 just came out.

when its time to use CM again i'll definitely flash this. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Good for you guyz...from my side; doctor told me many times to not flash stock roms cuz im big time allergic to it ....not good for my health xD llloollll

Anyways im on it and its pretty bugless for now...with my kind of use; so if someone flash it just report back =)
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
ok. using your rom again. still feels carbon is much more sturdy and not too plain compared to the others for now. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
im on it and this new baseband is just awesome...before at home i was on DC style data...now full LTE, these old blobs really needed to be switched :D

then this build is pretty smooth and bugless to me...
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
OFF TOPIC POST:

found this app right here that provides you the same feeling of paranoid android's modded volume panel

it might not provide the same smoothness but it does not flicker as it does on PA.

- no animation too but it gets the same visual effects as PA's volume panel :)

feels like its complete using this carbon rom with this app.

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-noyze-volume-panel-replacement-t2875501

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.barrasso.android.volume

however, you do need to tweak it a little in the advanced settings to make sure it works properly.

Note: I AM NOT promoting, just sharing this great app that could help boost the rom's UI. :)

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

i can confirm battery life has improved a whole lot over the new blobs and official files from sony

compared to a few previous builds where the battery drain was much higher.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
New build from server

OTA will be available again from this one cuz previous came from my pc

It can easuly be dirty flashed :cowboy:

not to mention really good/similar to stock's battery life.
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Ok been using a while now I have tried this latest version of Carbon with lightning kernel and also true angelbob's version of carbon with lightning kernel and so far This version has behaved better with the kernel no random reboots or anything PS what's battery life like for you Yuga users as I recently got mine not longer than a week ago and battery hasn't been very promising I can't get a day out of it even when idly using it
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
u have bad battery life on my latest build???

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Yeah but I have been having bad battery on a lot of ROMs I don't know if lightning kernel is the cause of it but so far loving this rom

After using it a while it seems to be getting better I think it may be because I only had my Xperia Z less than a week

I rebooted twice it wasn't a random reboot or anything but is this ok for battery or not ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
screenshot above.

you ported DSB to carbon? :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Nope it's a beta version of tinted status bar for Xposed module
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
oh.. okay. used that module but i really hope there's a way to configure it manually rather than auto.

off topic: any guide to do that? opening an app wont change the colors unless you configure it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
There is it's per app config make sure to turn experimental on I have configed all my apps to do it ;)

Use colour picker and screen shot the app select a colour on the screen shot add hex to tinted :)

If you want the best DBS use thinking bridge it's by far the best for it even puts PA to shame
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
isnt it that they will still auto change for you?

or its fully black by default and you configure it yourself?

because the global version, it changes it for you.

[ok just reply to this and its the last off topic post for me :) ]

Yeah please ;)

I'm still using carbon great with lightning but tomorrow I will be using 4.4.4 Liquid smooth my friend is building it for me as it's only on 4.4.2 for our yuga

back on carbon. so far everything's good with build 43. no major bugs.
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Build 43 ? Am I missing something thread only has 29 unless its by OTA
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
check post #419

latest build is called build 43. and its a full flash.

i dont do OTA's only full wipe through recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Ah OK cheers I had just realised I had build 39 already on my phone does build 43 have Hover ? I can't find option on build 39
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Download chromecast app of PS then Google chromecast mirror enabler :D it works a charm I play PPSSPP games on my 42inch HDTV
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
nope hover was removed quite a while ago. should be due to the screen flickering issues.

you can however use the heads up xposed module to generate the same feeling (covering all the top corners of the screen instead of leaving a gap)

but it still gives you that flickering issue.
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Oh shame I'm not a fan of Heads up it doesn't always work it's not as supportive as hover as Hover works with music players and let's you skip song etc... Heads up doesn't even popup to tell you what your listening to although I never got screen flickering with heads up on Build 39 with Lightning kernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
lighting kernel works well with carbon? :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Yep extremely well with carbon I always OC 18000MHz and min 500Mhz it's not actual figures as I believe 500 is something like 549Mhz but can't remember but I also OC GPU to max I think its 600+ MHz
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
battery life is even better? great i'll give it a try!
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Yeah battery would probably be better I undervolt as well
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
sorry 1 silly question

how do i access "Carbon Statistics"?

seems like i can only access it during the first boot after a clean install.

thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
I think it's in settings/ about phone somewhere if not then sorry I would check for you but no longer on carbon but its normally in settings about phone
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
checked but it isnt there.
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Ok you could go in to setting's apps then go in the options see if reset app preferences is there try that
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
i don't know either....i can't even check as im testing candykat...sorry
