Change the file you want and in the same format in "/system/media/bootanimation.zip", or "install" one using substrarum.

Com'on, you should probably known this before flashing any ROMs. Its mostly the same for all Android devices!

Install 3rd party app like Kernel Auditor to do the job for now.

so in carbon rom...

we can't change wifi region?? in wifi section / advanced there is no option for it... any way to change it or not???

sorry for bad english
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Anyone have some random reboots on latest carbon?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
None. Including mid-night reboot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rubiicon59:
TWRP link in OP is redundant. Is it still v3.0.0-0 to be used for the latest ROM?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
No, use the one in LineageOS's thread.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rubiicon59:
Quick reply, thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MindfreakBS:
This was asked before too but nobody responded. The Carbon, AOSP and PureNexus are 3 different ROMs(?). So I flash whichever I want? Or does the instructions say I have to flash the Carbon boot.img first to flash my preferred ROM? I'm confused. :(

Also, Carbon is Lollipop and the other two are Nougat right?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
1) yep they're all different

2) yes

3) use the boot image from the rom you downloaded

4) carbon is nougat, it just has a different version naming scheme
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MindfreakBS:
Wow that was a quick response.

I'm going with Carbon then.

Thanks ! :good:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MrSinister:
New build is up yesterday on their official site
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] szaman89:
After few days with new carbon test version the only problem which I noticed is switching data from wifi to mobile network. Phone need to be restarted to take connection with mobile data.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Read post #335 on the new Lineage DEV thread.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MrSinister:
Why the carbon updater app is not working??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
You have to clean install when switching from the private builds to the official WEEKLY.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MrSinister:
Yes I had wiped cache,dalvik,system. Do I have to wipe internal storage??

The updater app is showing fc..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yes. /DATA, including /data/media.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rubiicon59:
Anyone else finding Bluetooth crap on Carbon? Most transfers fail, the ones that do get through can take 5 minutes or more.

Also it would always reboot once the screen was off. Remedied by reverting to SuperSU v2.79-SR3.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PSaran:
Where is the carbon updater app? I can't find it anywhere!!! I'm on the weekly builds.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Search "Updates" in your app drawer.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] szaman89:
I just realize that another bug can be a localization function in apps. First I expect this problem with app ''transparent clock and weather'' when app can't find location. Second app is watch face for my Android wear device - also can't get localization. Problem didn't occurs with app getting localization from gps module. I dont't know if it's sirius or carbon rom related. I checked it twice with clean installation so I put this information here.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] snake218:
First thanks for creating this rom, i am currently on latest MM stock (rooted, twrp, Locked bootloader which i know i have to unlock of course) .

Just one question, does carbon version includes drm fix? Or camera it's working without it (then is not using noise reduction, etc)?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raminta:
This is an non-stock rom so the drm key is meanless
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] snake218:
[MENTION=4768766]raminta[/MENTION]

update fix

Hi , do i have to flash every time new versions weekly or it will update automatically in my mobile sony z2 ? just like stock rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
This ROM hasn't OTA yet, so you have to flash every time a new update cames out. Once the official lineageos you can weekly update just like stock ROM .
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Carbon is OFFICIAL branded builds, so it can update through OTA, however the update server is not properly configured, so you have to manually download and flash the ROM for now.

This is not Lineage thread bro.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
I am sorry ?. I think my brain is in need of rest more, already in the morning I confused the thread too.

wipe to install new updated rom

what options do i have to select to wipe(under advaanced wipe) to install new updated carbon rom without losing gapps data and other apps that i have in my mobile through twrp.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
If you come from unofficial test builds, a full wipe is required. If you are upgrading from a previous WEEKLY, no wipe is needed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jhuryganelo:
I apologize for not able to search from the carbon website as I have just learned it yesterday. I though this thread was discontinued. Please bare with me on this: May I know the Kernel Version (3.10 or 3.4) of Weekly Carbon rom and What operating it is? Thank you very much in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
3.4
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] snake218:
Just installed carbon Rom and is excellent!

Just a question, I installed Sony camera and then cyberian mod. When I update (using weekly version) will I lose those mods and will have to install them again? I'm not clear about that, thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
All mods have to be reflashed upon ROM updates. Especially the framework port.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] snake218:
Thanks, I thought it was that way :(

Guess Sony camera app can't be added by default in z2 rom? Would be a great feature

No v18 will be released tomorow but will have some other changes

Alin will release New device blobs and camera blobs

I'm sure all will be good in the next time

If all works full and stable in aosp i will make builds only one or two per month but i will bring back carbonrom for Sirius and PAC will be updated to 6.0

What do you all thing about it More work on aosp or Roms like PAC ? Btw PAC and carbon will be aosp based too
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dkionline:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/127107/

If that would be possible.

Id rather want a stable carbon, than a buggy PAC, but its your choise.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
You're a developer in Carbon? I followed gerrit carbon in these days but there're just commits from Christian Oder (a.k.a Myself5 on xda), and I used Carbon LP for sirius, it's good but still need to be fixed some problems to be a perfect custom ROM for sirius, hope they'd finish LP before come to mainly develop MM.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Since some days yes :D i will work togehter with myself5 on Sony devices.

I need to upload the changes for castor and Sirius to Gerrit but first i need to test the commits :D

I will not build LP again :p because carbon changed the Main source (From cm to aosp) and i will only build aosp
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
I think Aosp would better IF Kernel 3.10 becomes stable.

Oh and will carbon and PAC have cm theme chooser ? If so then I suggest you work on carbon and PAC because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would like have cm theme chooser on their device :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] peddarson:
I really would like to see a real stable aosp rom at first.

And if I have to chose between carbon and Pac...I`d go for carbon. Seems not so buggy and overloaded.

But if you ask me if there is a better rom: slimrom would be awesome!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] s.hossein:
I used carbon rom with my Xperia v and i think that's awesome. I really like carbon rom and test it on my z2,but with working camera and important operation.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] stayawake:
Carbon ROM was the system that I liked in my "Xperia SP", clean and smooth.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kevin.Silbstedt:
Best decision ever, I tried CM on many devices, but apart from Nexus Devices, there always seem to be problems with it. (Just on my Z2 I had random reboots and the HW+ in MXplayer didn't work) And why would we need the CM theme engine, when we can use Layers, which brings me to my first question: Will you include Layers 4.0 Support (or whatever is the most recent) in your future roms? :fingers-crossed:

Also, do you plan on continuing myself5 kernel or building your own? I guess I'm not the only one, who likes to undervolt to minimize heat and use KCAL to calibrate the screen and so on. At the moment, there is no MM custom kernel for AOSP in development.

To be honest, normally I'm a cheap ****, but how can we give you some more "motivation" for your work?

I don't see a donate button under your name.

The Z2 is still the best Sony device (especially in the display department, good contrast ratio and closer to sRGB than the others) and it would have been a shame, if development on it died. So thank you, for not letting that happen. :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
I hope we will get it more stable with the new blobs when alin release those and we need to optimize camera

Ok slimrom is not possible because i don't like slim :D

no cm theme engine is only available with cm framework but all metiot roms are aosp based. but there is an alternativ rro layers

I will not add something to framework but i know that pac will add rro layers later but about carbon i have no information

i think Myself5 and some others will continue support for z2 ( I will not sell my Device in near future). In general it will give a asop port for m5 but first thing is to make the standard kernel stabler and fix some other device issues then we will start to work on m5 for aosp mm

if you want to donate me on firstpost you will find a link :D If i will maitain all roms i need a new pc in the future ;)

i think the Z2 and the big brother z2 tablet are the best sony devices both working like a sharm and we have so much nice things and nice support from sony
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
V18 is available

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
I wanna tell to Carbon team, if you won't, another will :D

Just wanna tell you update #2 because it's out-of-dated much.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
Just delete these lines will make the zip works without have already ROM which was flashed before, it means you don't need to use .img files before to can use zip flash. Can you [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] edit in source to make it doesn't add these lines anymore after every build?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Thanks i will look into it i think the Problem is ro.build.date not get.prob
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] schallwert:
Finally got around to testing this and found a rather annoying bug:

When enabling/disabling power saving mode (not doze) the phone soft reboots. This even more annoying when you have the autoswitch at 15% enabled and didn't know why it would reboot.

After the soft reboot the phone is in power saving mode, but when trying to disable it will only soft reboot again w/o switching power saving off. To actually switch it off I had to plug the charger in and wait for it to soft reboot again.

Can anyone confirm or is this just me? Clean install as instructed in OP.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
No, the problem should be ro.product. If you do wipe system, updater_script won't know device is sirius, so it will prevent the flashing, ro.build.date is just checking the old of the build you're running, it will be ignored/uneffect if the system is wiped.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Grozos:
I recieved a mail. Does this mean camera can be working soon? <3 <3
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vo4LG:
From that page:

I wouldn't get too excited until there is clear word from rcstar6696.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kokesh:
I wouldn't be excited mainly because that is an old article from November 2015. :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
This is for lollipop MR1 which other z2 users mention before...

Anyways. Lollipop MR1's camera still hasn't become stable so I wouldn't think we be getting camera function on marshmallow anytime soon if I were you
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Hmm you want a clear word but i will answer with a Smiley

;)

On monday we will get New blobs not 100% sure if cam blobs too but i know that the cam on our device will work in some days. The drivers are builded but need to tested on all device before release

My device was sometimes in powersave mode but no problems here and no reboots. I will test it again :)

No for example cm uses the same get.prob lines and the device line is saved in kernel this means if you flash a kernel the line will overwritten with the line in the New Boot.img. and this will be used by us you flash a Boot.img for Sirius and the device Name on your device is Sirius too
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] peddarson:
I am really looking forward to this. Even though they say only the basic function of the camera will work.

Hopefully it will be more than taking pictures without focus...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] OwnageWOT:
Why cant make camer working ?!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Because camera blobs aren't ready yet.
