So I have a problem, when I flash the boot img, after flashing i can't get into my Recovery to wipe the system and factory reset. Am i doing something wrong?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Boot to bootloader again and write fastboot earse recovery and try again
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] s.hossein:
Unfortunately emma is not available in our country.I don't know How do I install a new bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] blaqhjr:
Hi guys...so i successfully unlocked my bootloader n managed to install emma too but I've been trying to install cwm recovery for over 24hrs now but nothing is working. Then i got stock pre-rooted lollipop rom but i dnt know how to flash it since i cant get into recovery. Is there a way i can use emma to flash this pre-rooted firmware?

Thank you
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Yes, kind of

They're slightly different at ramdisk, so basically yes but technically no.

Humm, I just realised why my carbon rom always given me an error when boot, because I was using AOSP's boot.img.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wicozani:
Hi, everyone! Been running the latest PureNexus for the past week and overall very pleased. However, the absence and, thus far, inability to install a stock camera is dragging me down! I have now tested about 8 third-party cameras, and will let you know my impressions soon, but they all lack imho when compared to the stock camera. For starters, most either don't have or have very dodgy selfie cameras. Second, none of them work with the original camera shutter button on our Z2s. Third, some are better for outdoor distance shots while others are good for inside shots, but not one is good in all phases. Is the absence of the OEM camera also an issue with the LOS, AOSP and Carbon ROMs as well? I'm tempted to re-flash my 6.1.1 backup just to get everything working at OEM spec again. Thoughts?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
As told many times in the past few months, the camera blobs to be released by Sony AOSP team has to be updated. Not until the blobs are released and built on, the camera quality is still poor.

Thanks for your review though.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wicozani:
6 third-party camera test at the ski slope!

Yesterday I went skiing for the first time of the season, and took a shot of the ski area with all 6 third-party cameras that I have loaded. I took each with its base settings, and in bright sunlight tried to get the best focus, which for most meant touching the screen a few times at the tree in the image. Overall, photos weren't bad, and I only discarded one taken with Zoom Camera FX Premium that was out-of-focus. I have not retouched any of these. The specific details for each image/camera are as follows:

A Better Camera (Almalence): 4.89mb-3936x5248-f/2-Exp 1/2474s-4.77mm FL-ISO 51

Camera FV-5 Lite (FGAE): 1.48mb-1536x2048-f/2-Exp 1/2108s-4.77mm FL-ISO 51

Camera Zoom FX Premium(androidslide): 1.62mb-3000x4000-f/2-Exp 1/2033s-4.77mm FL-ISO 51

Open Camera (Mark Harman): 3.24mb-3936x5248-f/2-Exp 1/2189s-4.77mm FL-ISO 51

Ultra-HD Camera (app createur): 3.42mb-3936x5248-f/2-Exp 1/2276s-4.77mm FL-ISO 50

Z Camera (GO Dev Team +): 2.47mb-3936x5248-f/2-Exp 1/2587s-4.77mm FL-ISO 51

I'm no photographer, and am posting this in a very bright room. I welcome any and all comments about the clarity and accuracy of these images. They look surprisingly close when viewed through the Album on my phone, and are quite satisfactory. One final note, both Open Camera and Ultra-HD save to /sdcard/DCIM/OpenCamera, with save titles starting with "IMG_".

I'm still working in trying to get the factory and/or Snapdragon cameras working properly on our phones running 7.1.1 OS. Will repost if I make some progress.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mahdi128:
with which Rom you ve taken these photos?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wicozani:

This rom don't get updated? In changelog it says last build was on 09/11/2016
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] twistedddx:
This phone has been out since 2014, 3 years ago.

It has taken this long for Sony to release unstable camera blobs, unstable nfc blobs, incomplete audio blobs and a near endless list of problems.

This is why Sony has never been able to catch up to Samsung, HTC or LG.

It is laughable how long it has taken for Sony to release so little for these phones.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Samir2298:
Err..this is not the answer I am looking for.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chriskhany:
The last updated is from 26th January I guess.it was the purenexus rom.and the sole problems are low quality stock camera and slight echo in call.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
The changelog ONLY applies and listed out AOSP M changes, which has been discontinued since 9 Nov, 2016.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fezzawinkle:
Hi, can I dirtyflash purenexus over aosp from 3 Jan ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Samir2298:
How is the battery life on pure nexus compared to stock sony mm?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
This is totaly wrong. Sony custom rom support is the best at all no other teams have a member directly from the company. And where do you get those infos about audio and nfc ? Those are completly wrong. The audio problems are due a not correct working noise cancellation. Its a broken thing on much roms and not easy to fix. Nfc is a kernel issue which is complety broken sine cm 12.1 and not fixable because we don't have the sony code for 3.10 as sony delivers 3.4 kernel

Battery life is nearly the same as stock i get around 5 sot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikash1994b:
Hi,im curious to know how is ur work going on bringing kernel 3.4. no ETA
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
i will not answer to questions its secret for now :) but short tip we are on a good way
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikash1994b:
Wow awesome.:)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mysubcult:
At least can you say how soon will be new update?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] guhvanoh:
At least can you not ask for an ETA???
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
In XDA agreement says that you should not ask a developer for ETA's.

HI I sincerely apologize that it is way more than a bit unrelated but how could I reconfigure my recents softkey on Navbar to open up an app on one click instead of showing recents?

I'm currently on purenexus 27th January
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
Carbon Weekly 07021017 is out !

Some people in Z3 forum reported no echo from both ends.

Anyone using carbon can try and post feedback here.

https://get.carbonrom.org/device-sirius.html

Edit : i tried build. Call echo is there
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Why this status bar doesn't get black on pixel launcher?? I'm using last build pure nexus ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Seems to have conflict with substratum.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] subhanjavadov:
Which forum? There is one problem for me to use AOSP 7.1.1, in call echo issue. If they say problem was gone, I will try this ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Z3 users confirmed that the Echo calls issue has been solved :)

In the carbon rom forum of Z3 check there
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
I tried latest carbon build.

Call echo is there.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Then I guess z2 users are out of luck
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikash1994b:
Can u post some camera samples or small video sample plz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
No improvements in camera !

Camera photo broken.

Camera video same like before.

Dark and blurry camera !
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] I think the Echo in the calls is caused because z2 has two microphones, and since the Rom isn't completely stable, when we are on the phone, the phone uses the both microphones at the same time and causes the Echo in calls.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
But isn't that the same when headphone plugged in?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] elpat:
z2

hello

i have make this rom on my z2

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Bad camera quality -> Known issue, remarks: Auto-focus is absent. Awaiting new camera blobs.

InCall reboot -> Also known bug, read through the whole thread and you will find people reporting this, sadly, not yet addressed. //Not sure about this. Need [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] to confirm.

Video on YouTube is not good -> How? Audio? Video?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
In call reboot will be fixed in next release

Currently i try to make our cam more bright
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
will call echo be fixed when blobs are released?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
No its totaly wrong and has nothing to do with blobs

Who said that its blob related ? You are not the only one who said this

To maintain my Bluetooth connection between my Garmin watch and the phone, I have to continually clear the storage associated with the Bluetooth share system app. The phone just wont stay connected for any length of time. Anyone else having trouble with Bluetooth connections ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
austin.gonzo said this

LineAge OS (old name > CyanogenMod) is basically like CyanogenMod ? nothing more nothing less.

Pure Nexus is...well Pure Nexus and it gives you a feeling like you're using a Nexus phone but with a lot more features,

AOSP: well is similar to pure Nexus, it gives u a nexus kind of feeling, it doesn't have the amount of features that are included in Pure Nexus Rom.

All of these Roms are merged by same sources so it means they should have the same functionality and bugs.

Current bugs are,

Phone reboots after 1 minute of Calling

Calling echoes

Camera isn't fully functional, lack of features. All of these bugs will be fixed when a guy named Alin that works in Sony Development team fixes them, we were not given any ETA's so I can't say for certain when he pushes out the Blobs.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Blobs is camera related, NOT call related.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chriskhany:
I'm sorry but a simple question if you're porting z5s kernel to our device then it means we're getting kcal as well and then we'd be able to control the white balance and etc right?

Kernel can be ported O.o"?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tzaneff:
Dear friends, I'd like to try a PeureNexus ROM, but face some troubles. So, I install a boot from ROM, and a recovery 3.0.0 via fastboot, go to recovery, full wipe /including format data/, install ROM, install pico gapps, but fater boot, and make first instalation - a message on screen - " Android is starting.." and that is it. If I try to install ROM without gapps, it is started, but already on english language, and when I install gapps after that via recovery, again previous issue. Any help, please? Thank you in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] thejacko:
install google apps standart, not pico. Because there is not a launcher thats why it can not go to the home screen
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tzaneff:
Thank you mate thejacko, it is not bad to known, and to be written. Cheers.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] amrsa3ed:
help please

should i download the 3 zip rom files ? or just only one ?

and when i enter the recovery should i flash it as it is in zip form or i should extract it first
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
download the latest one 20170103
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Since there are 3 types of ROM's in this thread, do you mind updating the original #1 post? Even I who is reading from time to time am having difficulty finding information
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
All roms share the same bugs, the only difference between these Roms are their features, carbon got the most features, pure nexus stands in the second and AOSP stands at the last because it has the least features comparing to the other Roms I mentioned.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
When it reached to a nearly AOSP bug-free state in the future, this thread should be divided into 4 threads, each ROM accounts for an isolate thread.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tazmsn:
Carbon
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
1.Hey something is unclear in instructions. First u say flash the rom in fast boot(step 1-2) then in step 4 u say download rom?

2.if i have a rooted phone and have twrp on it can i just flash the zip files from there without doing step 1 and 2? Really confused about this. If i already have recovery and root and unlocked bootloader should i flash the boot.img and recovery.img?

I'd be grateful for a reply.

3.When will the latest rom be uploaded?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
1. It stated "BOOT" and "RECOVERY", not the main ROM. OP assume we sideload the zip onto our device to flash, but you can download the zip onto your external SD card prior flashing anything is okay. Its up to you.

2. Yes you can, but please wip /SYSTEM when flashing the zip. And flash TWRP recovery.img before rebooting back into your new /SYSTEM, otherwise you will loose recovery.

3. No ETA please.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] pedromanzana:
WOW!

finally did it after a huge process. It's incredible the rom, a piece of art, 7.1.1 it's so sweet, but it's a shame that the camera doesnt work. Area shame. I've tried pure nexus rom, that it happens with all of them?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yes. They are all based on AOSP and so they share the common driver-level bugs.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Okay so no need for flashing boot.img if i have twrp and root before right? If im not right where do i get the boot.img from i cant find it.

I get the zip files on my external sd then boot twrp, wipe system, flash rom.zip and gapps.zip then go fastboot and flash recovery.img. Please tell me if im right or missed something.

And btw does unlocking bootloader remove root and recovery?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
All correct. Don't forget to flash baseband patch before rebooting into system if you have a D6502.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Well thank you a lot.

1-Does unlocking bootloader while rooted remove my recovery or root? Or in any way mess up my phone?

2-i found the latest build of carbon on its website can i use that instead if the one in OP link?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
1. Mess up or not , reflash again for safe.

2. Yes of course.

Dear mates, allow me first to thank all of you for the hard work for the ROM> So, I use a pure nexus since last tree days, and I am very pleased of it. All is good /wituot a working camera/, but to use it, I had to flash a stock Gapps, to have a google dialer, a Pixel Launcher, and so on. But a heavy drain of the battery is present. Probably this is normal? Thank you for answers. Waiting impatiently for a new update/s/. Wish you all all the best. Cheers.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Drain your battery from 100 to 5 percent with normal usage then take a screendhot of the battery usage screen up here.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
1. Disable Google Play Service drain using an app called HEBF, you can find that on XDA.

2. Disable OK Google system wide detection.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] FellipeSilvaRJ:
This lastest build of PureNexus have a awesome battery life. The only thing "messed up" is the power consumiption while device is stand-by
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tzaneff:
Sir, could you be more specific? Thank you in advance. Regards.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
1. disable google play service battery drain using this app https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/hebf-tweaking-battery-saver-optimizer-t3401341

2.open the google app tap setting then voice and disable ok google detection
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chriskhany:
I flashed nano gapps and installed Xperia home from twrp and there is absolutely no battery drain!in fact it's even better than stock.with WiFi and simcard and Bluetooth I had 7.30 hours of on screen!and I had used l speed to increase performance as well.and no bugs that haven't been reported either. But when I put in an OTG USB or a hard drive and eject it it no longer detects any USB even the charging USB so I'd have to reboot but it only takes it like 12 to 20 seconds to reboot which is pretty fast!much faster than stock in every way.

(I used the 26th January purenexus)
