OP is updated

Hey,

I just updated the OP with the official download links. I'm sorry I was not able to do so earlier, but I was pretty busy and still am, my computer tries to troll me, crashing for unknown reasons, probably some hardware failure I need to figure out, if things turn out unwell its my (actually still very new) 400€ Intel SSD being broken :(, and every other minute went into updating Carbon (and testing it on my friends build server). So please bear with me :P

Regards,
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Myself5:
It's time to move on

Hello folks,

As I mentioned before, I planned to sell my Z2. After all, it is sold now. This unfortunally means, that I am no longer able to work on my Z2 projects. This includes M5 Kernel, MultiROM, and CarbonROM. On the other side however, there are already some devs which want to take over my projects, there are already developers stepping up for M5 Kernel and MultiROM. Till that happens however, I am going to close the threads.

It was a nice time with you guys, but the Z5 is waiting :)

Regards

Nah man no way, pretty sure they died along with KitKat :silly:.

Charging current is still low, by a half compares to stock rom. Maximum is 700mah (while in stock is over 1100mah) at range from 1% to 50%, almost time is around 500mah, so it took me over 3hrs (3h40p exactly) to fully charge from 20%.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] danielad200:
For locked bootloadee too?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
So that's what I call Team Members ... :eek:

Don't know exactly what I should reply on that. We used the CM Kernel for the Carbon Builds so I guess you get this problem on all CM based ROMs. You might want to try M5 Kernel, it has a option to enable fastcharge. Just watch out that you don't enable it when connection to a smaller charger / Your PCs USB port.

No, it' a CM based Custom ROM and needs a different Kernel than Stock in order to work, so it won't work on LB.

Its ok to unlock bootloader? Sony said the camera performance in low light conditon well down.. How i can unlock bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Omario-242:
Please search for this topic, it has been discussed often. Look for DRM keys or camera.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] danielad200:
any photos of the rom?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Griffiths_Anna:
The download speed is really slow.. Only up to 60 kbps.. I think I would try it again tomorrow

Thank you Myself5! ?

rom

at first, thanks for carbon rom and sorry for my worse english.!

i always want to try carbonrom so i'am glad to see it for the z3.

is the rom for daily use ?

or do you need more testing for a daily rom?

i'am happy to help by sending reports if you want to.

keep up the good work!

Jordy.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ankabo:
What about camera in cm based roms? Is the quality like in stock (unlocked) rom?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
Can't compare for sure, but most likely it's not as good from what I've read - Sony uses closed source camera firmware that makes their camera performance this outstanding. Unlocking the bootloader automatically erases the DRM keys that unlock the high end features of the camera firmware, thus lowering picture quality. But as you have to unlock the BL to boot a non-stock kernel...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] mickyw1980:
The only thing that stops me from moving permanently to this or cm roms is the camera and battery life. The quality is far from what you will have with stock. Performance is excellent though, Nice and fluid and fast with a lot to customise but in my opinion I'd rather stay on stock for the camera and battery life
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] charlatan01:
I am trying to install this from TWRP, and am probably doing something stupid, but the install errors with "E:Error executing updater binary in zip "/External_SD blah blah.zip".

Any thoughts? TIA!

EDIT:

I found that by installing the M5 kernel I could sideload the rom via ADB. Must be something with the DualRecovery and your ROM?.... sorry if this is posted somewhere.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
Are you sure that your zipfile is downloaded correctly?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
Dual recovery for Z3 and Z3C calls the devices leo and aries, respectively. However, as there are also some other devices named leo and aries (HTC HD2 and Some Samsung phone) CM calls them z3 and z3c. The device check in the updater script on XZDR then discovers, that the recovery calls that device leo/aries which does not match z3/z3c. Hence it breaks the update.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] charlatan01:
Oh, well that would explain it. The line item before the error was "this phone is leo", listing the supported devices above it.

I downloaded the file twice, though didn't MD5 check, but I think the file is good.

ROM is good thus far.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
I'm experiencing frequent soft reboots with 201505228 version. Anyone else?

I'm not sure if it's ROM-related, because I flashed M5 kernel (v. 6.1 permissive) as well, so maybe someone can shed a little bit bit of light?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] charlatan01:
Nope, but I am running the NON permissive version of the M5 kernel.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] tuan2195:
So I booted the ROM up for the first time, did all the setup and restored all my apps, and then reboot... And all of a sudden, it ask me to optimize apps and get stuck/bootloop there forever. What may be causing this? I have never seen anybody with this issue ever.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
Reflashed the whole software, had reboots with both stock and M5 kernel (tried both versions in the meantime)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
Activating 'kill app' in Settings -> Developer Options has no effect for me - can't kill apps by long press of the BACK button. Anyone else?

EDIT: assigning 'kill app' through Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Navigation Bar -> tapping BACK entry _does_ work.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gscollier:
Very nice rom. No issues so far. OTG USB eject notification would be nice but this is a common lack for all cm roms. 2 weeks ago OTG didn't work at all.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lemonade747:
Does this rom have function such as set long press button (recent, home, back) to do anything we like? I only miss that feature on all CM based roms. Thank!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
Navbar can be fully customised and all Navbar buttons can be assigned several actions (short, long, double tap)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
New Build is up

I just uploaded a new build, includes some new features and upstream code merge from CM.

Have fun!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
Will wiping system, cache and Dalvik be enough for an upgrade? Or do you recommend a clean install generally?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] boxkillor:
This is a great Rom and it does run fluent! Using it with the m5 kernel.

One thing i encounter though, is that my cell needs like 9+ hours to charge up 100%. Any advice for that would be greatly appreciatet. Are there like "more aggressive charging options" or did i something wrong? I made a factory reset and wiped chache before flashing.

Thanks ! Its awesome
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bahmanup:
hi ,ist perfect rom

thanks

im use z3 dual and now

network operators not work!

no sim card , no service

how solve this problem?

thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] husky69:
This ROM is for Z3, not Z3 dual as far as I understand it. Maybe that's the point?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] jaycunning:
Dear Carbon team,

Please bring back the camera button wake option, where you can not only push to unlock, but also just peek while holding focus. This is definetly one of the coolest tweaks, worked for a few Carbon builds back on the xperia S, then stopped working :P

Or does anyone know maybe a mod like this exists? I know it used to be possible to add a few lines to a file to get camera button wake working, but this peek option is the real deal.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] aldileon:
Hey i am getting the "this package is for device: D6602, D6603, D6633, D6643, z3; this device is leo" error. Already tried editing the updater-script but still getting an "flashing unsuccessful" error.

Any Ideas? I think i am running the latest Dualrecovery (last number was 2.1.18 i think)

Should i try changing the build.pop of my phone?

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] - three weeks since last build. Any ETA for a new one?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
If I'd make and upload a build now it would mainly only be to have a diffferent date in the zipname.

There havn't been any really notable changes recently, and I've been very busy with school, that's why I've not compiled a new build yet. Also I want to mess around with some special compiler flags, but that consumes time I don't have currently. I soon have summer vacations, and I planned to do a lot of Android coding there. Also I was kinda waiting for my new Intel 750 Series 400GB PCI-E SSD to arrive and see how my build times improve compared to my current build time (21 min), but that is more likely just a bad excuse why I havn't compiled a build yet.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
I uploaded a build made with SaberMod 4.9 (Rom and Kernel) and used [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] s optimizations V3. It's on my testing page as I did not test it myself yet, and as it is Z3 only for now.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] sewb:
i found out that u have to change device name in build. prop to z3 from leo (or if it was vice versa)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] vomdth:
Do you know which parameter it is exactly? I tried to change different values from D6603 to D6653. That didn't worked. I also tried to change parameter ro.product.device from z3 to leo but with no avail.

In Case someone noticed my server being down:

I am aware that my server is down, it got suspended by an Admin and I need to figure out why (I have not done anything forbidden, last thing I did was trying to setup an instance of Gerrit Code Review) that however is not that easy cause the server is sponsored and I only have access to the SolusVM Panel, I can't create Support tickets, so I now need to wait for my sponsor to answer me. Stupid as I am I don't have a mirror, cause I did not set up one yet... I hope someone can upload the latest Version and post a link here, would be greatly appreciated.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] polykoma:
hey. so great to hear there is CARBON!

as i received my new z3c yesterday i started with this instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

i made it all down to step 46.

After i unlocked my BL via the sony page and adb

I tried to install the boot.img out of the zip.

but then could only Enter some recovery i have never seen. without dalvik wipe possible and no Access to my sd Card.

So i was stuck. Tried to Flash another recovery which ended up in a softbrick.

Now back to my question.

After step 46 and BLU. What steps have to be done to install CARBON properly ?

Thanks so much !
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
The unknown recovery was CyanogenRecovery. The Kernel however supports loading recoverys from the FOTAKernel Parition (mounted as recovery partition), just flash them using fastboot, then install the zip.

HOWEVER!

This is the Z3 Forum NOT the Z3C Forum. You can NOT install the Z3 Rom on the Z3C, there is also a Z3C Build of the ROM here:

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Guantanamo:
Hi,

Is there a plan for updating this ROM, as this is a long time there was nothing done about it. No bug fixing, no new features, nothing. I hope we will have something soon, as I like a lot this ROM and the way it works.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Guantanamo:
I'm really sad to see there is no response and propably there will not be anyone. Updating this ROM is then just a dream that will never come true.

Anyway, Thanks to dev for providing at least a working version (even if it's with some little bugs) that I enjoyed to use daily.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
While violating the XDA rules (asking for ETAs is forbidden), repeated asking gets caught by death by knitting ([emoji14]) I can tell you that I did NOT stopped support for it. This thread is currently for the early testbuilds, which can only be compiled and released when our source is not broken. We currently work on a massive rebase, which makes the source not buildable for the moment. Patience is a virtue ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Guantanamo:
Did not know that asking if something will happen on updating is forbidden (or maybe I forgot that). My mistake. I never asked before and will never ask again.

I just found that asking if there are news about this ROM after almost two months of nothing is a good idea to see if we have to stay at touch or if we should walk away.

Anyway, thanks for reply and good luck.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] IcedCube:
Does this ROM have the fisheye camera issue that seems to exist on CM12/Slim/AOSP ROMs?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
Yes it does. The issue is caused by the kernel itself, and can not be fixed yet. I look forward to use the Sony AOSP 3.10 Kernel with Carbon as soon as Camera works there, as that Camera is not going to have some hacked drivers, but a real decent implementation.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Mr.Elmmyr:
Thank you for this wonderful ROM.

New Build Uploaded

Hey folks,

After the long waiting I was finally able to get a new Build for you. It's uploaded already. However, at the current point we/I are/am not able to provide a full changelog, we still work on writing all that down.

Happy flashing ;)

Is it a stable or a nightly release?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Jounsa:
Hello,

I made sure to do a thread-search before I posted, but was unable to find anything directly related to my problem.

I just unlocked my bootloader today, as well as flashed Carbon directly afterwards. Normally, I don't make phone calls, but had to make one just now and realized that the Receiver was able to hear me perfectly fine, but I was unable to hear him.

However, once I activated the loudspeaker option, I was able to hear without issue, but my ear-speaker was still not functional.

Can someone please advise me as to what may be wrong?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Mr.Elmmyr:
It worked totally fine in the June update for me.

Are you using the latest? (the one he uploaded yesterday)?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Jounsa:
I think it may be my earpiece itself. I'll replace it and see what happens. Think my earpiece got damaged during a disassembly some months ago, as I haven't used this Z3 in a while (I have two).

Yes, I'm using the latest build. Everything else is working beautifully.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] abrahamjones:
I have the latest build. I don't have such a problem.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] abrahamjones:
Thanks, is there a way to alter the 1.5A (or whatever) charging limit and screen on charging limit aswell? As far as my readings, it is related to kernel.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
Yes, it should be able to get changed. However I'd rather no mess with charging limits for the reason that it might destroy some devices, could be unsafe, and that I can simply not test it. The strongest charger I have access too is a 1.5A charger.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] abrahamjones:
Hmm, it makes sense but it annoys me to not to get full advantage of my 2A charger. Other than that, the current drops really down when the screen is on. So 1.5A is only possible when screen is off.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Jounsa:
Thanks guys. I've concluded that it's my ear-piece. I'll change it when I get back home on Sunday.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] asqwrd:
is anyone experiencing issues with the dialer sometimes not working correctly. Sometimes people cant hear me and i cant hangup only way to fix it is to reboot my phone

I'm having some random soft-reboots, mainly when using quick toggles (torch and airplane mode, but not all the times)

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
Yes I am. Please remember that these builds are Preview builds of what will come once we go official. We currently rebase our ROM (for like the 5th time) as some issues were coming up. However, we are almost done with that. As I am not at home until Friday, I can't give you any Preview builds till then. Let's see what I can do next weekend ;) I'm also working on Device trees which are fully based off the Sony AOSP once, but that resulted into my phone not booting unfortunally, so builds with 3.10 Kernel might still take a while (and they will propably run parallel to the CM based builds, because the AOSP Kernel still has some issues).

Hi

could you please help me on this issue?

I tried to flash this rom but I got error in recovery mode, the message was "error executing updater binary in zip" and show the device is tianchi!! btw I changed model number in updater-script to tianchi and flash it and when system boot It had problem with my simcard.

my phone is Z3 D6633 (Dual Sim) on 23.0.F.1.74; rooted (GIEFRoot 3.1) and hast last version of XZDualRecovery (2.8.21) and it is and it is unlocked bootloader

thank you in advance
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
The install issue you face is caused by XZDR, where the recovery titles itself as the wrong device. The way you fixed it is ok for the moment.

The sim card thing is because you have a dual sim phone. It needs other vendor blobs than a non dualsim one. I can't remember the fix for it atm, check the forums, IIRC there was some flashable zip or and folder which needs to be renamed.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Keyvan:
hi

thx for your reply

yes I solved the first problem by download the XZDR directly from it's site and I can't find anything about my major problem till now but I continue for that

Hey Guys,

I just uploaded a new build, nothing special, it's just a build I made for myself and so I decided to upload it for you guys.

Please note: This propably will be the last unofficial build I am going to release ;) However, you might want to consider if it is worth flashing when there is a new build coming in a timeframe of the next week.

Changelog?

EDIT:

When will you be able to use the 3.10 kernel? Let's be fool, the 4.2 one?

Sent from my Sony SmartWatch 3
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
No Changelog yet... Its been a huge rebase again (this time hopefully the last one, but I also said that about the previous one lol).

I plan on building with the Sony AOSP repos and the 3.10 Kernel soon, but I'm currently having some struggle with the device trees (it refuses to boot with an up-to date device tree).

I think the current focus is on the 3.10 Kernel, once everything is working there shouldn't be anything speaking against updating it to a higher Kernel Version. (new Kernel Version here is something like 3.18, not 4.x yet).
