Hey can you built a stable lollipop rom for xperia ion users
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
Gonna flash this

Can I request for stock Sony camera which supports camera key to launch and half press to focus?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Myself5:
Camera Key to Launch is working already, for any Camera App installed on your device, an app which supports the Half Press Camera Shutter is Camera FV-5. Also there should be an port of the Stock Camera for CM12 somewhere on XDA IIRC, you could try flashing that ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
That's great to hear!

But the port needs a modded framework.jar

My old computer doesn't support .Net, so I can't use the tools to edit the classes.dex :(

Is it possible for you to provide it as an addon?

Meanwhile I'll check out Camera FV-5 :)

I found a weird bug.

After each reboot, screen is unresponsive.

I have to turn off the screen and turn it on again for the screen to work

BUG: Brightness too high.. even on auto brightness

Sorry i know your probably very tired of this Q [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] but is the fisheye still present in the new builds? Thanks..

Still present, but Sony will soon fix this problem in their unified kernel.

Yes, you should be able to.

OP is updated

Hey,

I just updated the OP with the official downloadlinks. 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 Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Sucks about your ssd, i feel your pain :( good luck and thanks for updating :D i hear the fisheye bug will be sorted soon aswell. Something for all of us to look forward to :D

safe to use with locked bootloader/dual recovery?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shakkirk:
Many thanks for your kind efforts.... If you add installation instructions and scree nshots it could be better :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
First Off…

THANKS [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] or all your hard work with multirom and M5 Kernel.. and now this :D

Also to your question:

Custom roms can only be installed with an unlocked boot loader, but you can still install using dual recovery as XZDR is for locked/unlocked

If you are worried about loosing DRM functions you can still use DRM functions with an unlocked device using a method on these forums.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sadman Khan:
Any bugs? Like the camera fish eye problem? Also, is it possible to patch drm keys here or will the camera performance deteriorate?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
Great news Carbon is one of my two favorites, thx a lot. I've read about your plans if I can be so inconsiderate and make suggestions, what about Liquid?​
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
Do you mind not quoting the whole OP [emoji14]?

Screenshots will follow today, Install Instuctions will go in the second post.

Carbon is based off CM, and uses CM Device trees and Kernels. Hence all CM Bugs are present over here. I guess, however, the Fisheye Bug will get fixed anytime soonish, actually exactly when Sony AOSP get's a working Cam, CM will most likely adapt the "proper" implementation which is supposed to be for shinano (Z2*/Z3*) devices, rather then using the rhine (Z1*) blobs, which are not supposed to get used with wideangle lenses as Z3* devices have.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc [emoji14]

I'm not a very huge fan of Liquid, for a variety of reasons, some of them actually being the reason why Carbon was originally founded. Need to dissapoint you here.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
Excellent. Thanks.

Might finally be time to unlock the bootloader.

Why is the title "official " but the downloads are "unofficial "

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
I am part of the CarbonROM Team, actually I am a Core Dev. However, I forgot to change the build version in these builds, which is why they use the default value "UNOFFICIAL". I'll change that on the next builds ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
Thanks, I'm looking forward to the instructions. Then i will try.

The drm and unlock bootloader aspect is unusual for me that's what i want to see explained.

I wonder is it possible for you to include the restore drm function fix into the rom?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
first of all thanks OP for this, I've always loved CarbonROM :o

I may unlock BL again to try this :good:

a couple of questions in the meantime until I try that myself, if you don't mind for OP or any other who have already flashed this.

1. In OP I see "TWRP custom recovery", does this really mean this rom comes with TWRP (I hope) or it still contains CM recovery (that I hate) as all other custom roms here do?

2. can you confirm it is possible to assign actions to navbar buttons like show power menu, show volume panel and similar? (all the other roms I tried for z3c don't have this and it is a must for me to avoid using HW buttons :( )

3. to flash all other custom roms I tried, coming from stock, I couldn't use the Dual Recovery from NUT (latest version) as I kept getting binary errors. I had to flash fota-recovery and then from that TWRP I could. will I need to do the same now for carbon or someone tried and accomplished in flashing this with 2.8.15 dual recovery?

thanks again and in advance if you can help.. bye!

EDIT: I respond myself... just unlocked BL and flashed this :D

1. my god, also this one has only useless (for me) CM recovery :( will flash fota recovery twrp... :|

2. more flexible than others, still have to understand if I really can do what I need :o

3. twrp in dual recovery didn't work, but philz touch in dual recovery worked, so didn't have to flash fota-twrp recovery at the beginning to get this installed, but now I will to get a better recovery :)

....now testing it.... :p thanks again for your work!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
[MENTION=1322070]moly[/MENTION]

I'm coming from your v6, could you outline the procedure for switching to this and back. Did you do the drm fix or didn't bother? I'm not sure it's that big a deal anyway.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
@myself5

great to see more custom roms coming for z3c & even "official" :good: :D

i used to use carbon 4.4 on my old xperia go and was really happy
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
Best custom rom so far... so many options.. i'm not missing xposed+gravity box anymore with this.. loving it! :o

I think i'll stay some time with this! now will hunt for bugs and check about stability :) thanks OP!

Ps. only thing i don't like so far is the extra IME buttons in navbar, i much prefer having only the left and right arrows immediately available in keyboard without needing to click anything.. Do you know if that's possible?

Also, I think I'd really miss radio fm.. any chances to see it added later on?

(of course i've alrady backed up my TA time ago)

1. full backup in twrp

2. unlock bootloader (take care your internal sdcard will be erased..forgot that recently when trying others custom roms and lost some data... [emoji14] )

3. full wipe and flashed this from philz recovery (vol up at green light, twrp didn't work) + minimal gapps (90mb) i got here in the forum

4. reboot

didn't bother about drm keys, will try later eventually if i'll keep it for long... ;)

take care at this point you'll have cm recovery only.. never got used to it so I installed Rashr and then through it i flashed fota-twrp2.8.5.0-z3c.img to get a working twrp recovery again

Hope this helps bye!

Sorry I faced some problems
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
Why don't you use multirom twrp 2.8.6.0? You can have only one rom with it if you don't want to play with other roms
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
Thats very uncommon, it works flawless here. Do you use any modifications (like XPOSED) Along with Carbon?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Adzkii:
Yup I got Xposed with few modules? Is it conflicting?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
Obviously it is. Try a clean install without Xposed and see if the issues still happen.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Adzkii:
I don't think xposed causing the problem, becoz i had 7 modules on the previous build with no issues. Did a clean install on this new build and installed few modules mins after the back nav and keyboard unexpectedly stopped working. I'll try removing xposed along with its modules to see if it works.

EDIT: The problem wasn't Xposed or it's modules. The problem came from Appbar in configuration. when you turn it on, it causes lag and problems. but when its off everything goes back to normal. The battery life has worsed in the recent update...

rom

ive got a problem the only way for me to flash roms its to flash the bot img trough fastboot and i can only flash a couple of roms (this one is working) i know that is a problem caused by the codenaame ive tried everything ive found and nothing works the thing is that i wanna install the m5 kernel but i just cant help me please
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
I still consider Xposed as evil tho ;).

I'm going to look into the AppBar issues, thanks for the bugreport.

Fastboot the boot.img in this rom. Then install a recovery via fastboot (e.g. TWRP). After that you can Install Carbon in that recovery and then install M5 Kernel afterwards.

I'm not home ATM, you could check some other Rom threads (just for the instructions ofc, you shall nooot leave Carbon [emoji14]). I'll look at adding some instructions when I get back home.

OFC you can, it is even designed for and tested on Carbon specifically.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Adzkii:
Yes it will work. Currently using it
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ronniem88:
does this rom work with locked bootloader with dual recovery ? thank you :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Adzkii:
No it wont work with locked bootloader. You must unlock your bootloader, remember to backup DRM keys. Also dualrecovery will work but not with TWRP. Switch to CWM/philz

I dont know install this rom can you help me to install. My english is very bad sorr
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ronniem88:
Hi there I unlock my phone's bootloader then i flash kernal using flashtools but after that cant able to enter into recovery. could you put installation procedure in op please that would be helpful for us.:D

Thank you
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Adzkii:
Firstly you cannot flash this ROM with locked bootloader, you may use dualrecovery (CWM\PHILZ) or any other recovery may work. Installing this ROM is very easy, you just need an unlocked bootloader,Custom Recovery,Root. Just flash the ZIP file then flash M5CustomKernel. Then your set to go. Dont forget to backup your DRM keys and before flashing do clean restore :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ronniem88:
Hi there

I think theres wrond command in Updater-script. take a look at attachment thank you. and I tried for Res-remix and its same in both lol:D:D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
The line is not wrong, it is supposed to be like this. The || is an logical "or". If the first commands is sucessful (if it finds the devicename in the build.prop) it skips the following lines then. This means, the abort command is only getting executed when the updater script was not able to find the build props (e.g. when (it thinks) you flash it on the wrong device)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ronniem88:
Thabk you for reply. But im trying to flash this rom on my z3c but still getting error any idea whats wrong im doing ?

EDIT: Moreover, I have not the option to move apps' data to sd card through settings

Flash the boot img from ROM zip. ( fastboot flash boot boot.img

Any news on updates?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cypher_01:
Hi@all!

First, thx for this @Myself5!

I'm a little bit confused. You are part of the CarbonROM Team, actually a Core Dev. But you did your builds yourself?

(Btw, the're still tagged as UNOFFICIAL)

carbonrom.org is the official website of CarbonROM, right? Here we can find a build from 16th October 2015 tagged as EXPERIMENTAL.

What should we flash/try/use atm?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
The builds I provided over here were the ones I made for my own testing purpose, and I provided them since we were not officially rolling yet (which is why you may have experienced issues across the builds too, actually the builds I provided were across about 3 rebases). However, I am glad to announce (Official Announcement yet to follow) that the builds on CarbonROM.org are the first

Official

Weeklie builds we released for LP. Basically nothing changes for you guys, I am the Maintainer for all the devices I provided builds for (because I still physically own them, you should see my desk). The only change which might be notable is some restructure of the OP, maybe a new thread, and the changed download link ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Adzkii:
On Carbonrom.org I see an update on Z3C but it's experiment one. Should i go for it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
EXPERIMENTAL = Weekly in this case. They were the initial jenkins test builds, thats the only reason why they were titled like this. It's save to flash them. As I wrote in the previous post, there soon will be an official announcement (this basically was a soft release until now) where everything will be explained ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:

Hey,

I just updated the OP with the official downloadlinks. 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).

Hello,

I'm currently trying to set up a custom rom based on google to erase the native sony apps.

So, I was in 4.4.4 rooted but lockedbootloader. And I tried to flash the CarbonRom since philzRecovery.

Then, I have flashed the LockedDualRecovery.

But now my Z3C don't want to boot. When I press the start button, there is only one vibration and no sign of boot, the screen stays black.

I can repeat the operation if I press the start button, again just one little vibration and no sign of a boot.

I can only access in the fastboot and flashboot mode for flashtool.

Anyone can help me ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
You wrote that 23min ago, and 11 min ago you PMed me if I can help. Did you ever thought about people having some private life and that they are not able to respond in a time frame of 12min?

You did not even take your time to read the OP, else you would know that you need to unlock your bootloader, because otherwise the ROMs kernel will not boot and will result into the issue you described. In addition to that, there are some problems with XZDualRecovery and CM/AOSP based ROMs. At least they were last time I checked. So unlock your bootloader (search XDA on how to) and then reinstall, without flashing XZDR afterwards.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Lethien:
Ok, first I'm sorry, I saw you online and I though it was better to chat on PM otherwise flood the thread.

So, I have already try theses two methods to unlock my bootloader :

1] Use flashtool and the bouton BLU.

2] Use ADB to unlock the bootloader

Theses methods was use with the code I had on http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

So i've seen on the mobile configuration, my Bootloader unlock allowed is set "No".
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
So, as a quick search on XDA would have told you too, when you can not unlock your Bootloader you are out of Luck, and can not flash any Roms with non stock kernels.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] andybr1ggs:
bit of a daft question but which is the latest build from here http://carbonrom.org/downloads/?d=z3c ?

this is the one i downloaded :-
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
The format for the zips is as following

CARBON-BUILDTYPE-VERSION-DATEOFBUILD(YEAR MONTH DAY)-LOCALTIMEOFBUILD-DEVICECODENAME

Which means

CARBON-5.1.1-EXPERIMENTAL-20151016-1625-z3.zip

Is build on the 16th of October 2015 at 16:25 for the z3.

I hope that explains you which is the newest build.

For the case your actual struggle is because of the Buildtype, we used EXPERIMENTAL because the build are not build every Night but are still not stable builds. We could change that tag to weeklies but for now experimental does its job.

Regards

Hello everyone,

I'm quite desesperated. I'm a happy user of the rom, but i need to go to back to stock to send it to repair (they recently changed my screen but screwed my wifi signal strength).

I don't know why, but i have tried everything and my pc don't detect the phone so i can't use flashtool. Furthermore, now i can't even get into recovery :S

What do u suggest me to try next?
