dude i think you are missing the recovery .first of all try turning on the phone, not only with the power button, but with both power and volume down , and when sony logo appears, spam those vols... if nothing happens again, just download the twrp and do a fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bBigBrO:
Hehe, thank you guys. I'll keep you updated.

Guess I'll stop talking :p

Still an awesome job, doe.

Bug Report, Build Review (20170516-0511)

Hey all,

I'm running the latest Carbon Rom build for my Xperia Z5 e6653 from,

mirror.myself5.de/sumire/CARBON-CR-5.1-MOO-WEEKLY-sumire-20170516-0511.zip

I've experienced the following issues so far, some of which existed in the previous build I was running (20170501-0546):

Video Camera Crash after 20 seconds of recording.

In call volume, unable to adjust the volume level during a call, but the volume is audible for regular conversations.

Bluetooth headset volume level, when adjusting the volume in Spotify with Bluetooth headset connected, the volume rapidly increases from the last set volume level to half way. Reducing the volume level after this appears to work correctly, but occasionally it will go down but then the volume rapidly jumps back up after setting it. Note: I was using the volume keys on the side of the phone to adjust the media volume when using the Spotify app.

CarbonROM Updater, unable to download the file using the Updater app, it times out/appears to do nothing and then crashes.

After initial flash, I needed to re-install Gapps (not really a bug, just a note) and re-sync my contacts from the google server.

Note, I did a "Dirty Flash" from the previous build to the latest one (Wiped Dalvik and Cache only), I generally flash this way because I haven't caught up with the times on how to quickly reload all my apps and settings after a "Clean Flash", I also don't mind re-installing my apps manually, because I only use about a dozen or so.

Overall the latest build still runs exceptionally well, I haven't noticed any issues with battery usage, the system appears to be stable (no crashes so far) and it looks like the Dev team have added some additional Carbon Fibres into the settings menu, which looks like they could be fun to play around with!

I would really like to try and contribute more to investigating the bugs i've mentioned above but do have limited time and haven't found the correct process for gathering log files and sending a report through to the Dev team. Maybe when I have a bit more spare time, I can help out by dedicating some time with getting the bug reports through, so CarbonROM can continue to grow and serve the community.

Thanks all, I hope people find this post useful!

:)

Video Camera Crash after 20 seconds of recording. it has from the beginning, sony blocks that. someone used htc camera to fix that.

In call volume, unable to adjust the volume level during a call, but the volume is audible for regular conversations. maybe this is a bug, but i am not faced that. clean install may fix this.

Bluetooth headset volume level, when adjusting the volume in Spotify with Bluetooth headset connected, the volume rapidly increases from the last set volume level to half way. Reducing the volume level after this appears to work correctly, but occasionally it will go down but then the volume rapidly jumps back up after setting it. Note: I was using the volume keys on the side of the phone to adjust the media volume when using the Spotify app. bluetooth device volume and media volume are mixed up sometimes. set both media volume and bluetooth device volume same level.

CarbonROM Updater, unable to download the file using the Updater app, it times out/appears to do nothing and then crashes. if you came from old builds that on https://dl.myself5.de/sumire/CarbonROM/ I think you have to do clean install with these builds https://get.carbonrom.org/device-sumire.html

After initial flash, I needed to re-install Gapps (not really a bug, just a note) and re-sync my contacts from the google server. not a bug, you have to reflash gapps. this is not OTA, so it doesn't update system partition, it

rewrite

system partition.

I tried that and it pretty much just always boots into twrp without ever going into the ROM.

[MENTION=5813612]sceryavuz[/MENTION]

You're right with the camera, I downloaded OpenCamera and the video recording works! It did initially crash after trying to save the first video, but after that it worked!

Thanks for the info!

Good Job Men ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] syl0n:
Does this ROM support external SD? it doesn't seem to be detected.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ganeshbiyer:
Try flashing PixN kernel.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] syl0n:
BTW I was able to set up fingerprint scanner after first boot and it was working well but then it completely messed up after another reboot. Now it wont recognize fingers and it crashes the phone if i try to add/remove any fingerprints.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
Are you running a dualsim phone, or an SDCard with an "untypical" Filesystem like exFat?

For the dualsim phone, flash a custom kernel that supports dualsim phones (like PiXn), for the other, see my last post.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ccxex29:
Also make it for ivy dsds too please..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
Hi M5, Nice rom. Everything is working fine

- Camera: I used open camera and the back camera amost open all the time. Front camera is working, but really bad.

-Fingerprint: Is working perfect. But i rebooted the phone and now is not working.

Those are the 2 things most important for me.

Sound, is perfect but when i send whatsapp audios it heards too loud.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] stipi69:
Great will try it :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] syl0n:
I have a E6653 single sim phone. Not sure about file system but i will check. Will FAT32 work instead of exFat?

Sorry about the LTE issue, it seemed to be a one-off. I wiped and re-flashed and now its gone.

Are you able to do anything about the low speakerphone volume?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
FAT32 will work flawless.

Glad the LTE thing worked out. A solution to the sound thing might be the the WIP acdb replacement, but thats in early development AFAIK. Using acdb blobs used to be a working workaround, but obviously thats no longer working, else you'd not have complained about it :D I'll see if I can get updated acdb blobs that were built with 7.1.1 somewhere.

None ATM. Z5C is not team owned, but as always, maintainers are welcome.

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] remove those Sony's extended settings from ROM... Both cameras work, but in extended settings 8MP option is on as default and crash camera.

ROM work great.

Congrats.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Hey, welcome back :D

By the way, could anyone post some images using the camera?

Does it work without any crashes? o.O
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
It's not about the 8/23MP switch. The cam is generally screwed up and WIP. There is something in the making, but I can't go into detail about that yet.

No. The pictures itself are good, but the cam is only launching around 1/3 times (once it launched, you can do pictures just fine).
[MENTION=4764217]davidteri91[/MENTION] suggested a workaround. That would be to switch the cam to the front cam before closing the app. When launching the app then just switch back to the back camera, that should work "better".
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] fergy:
Yeah...true. But at last change it off of 8 MP so peoples get it working.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
As I said, there is no difference between the 8MP and the 23MP mode, both crash with the same frequency.

The Z5 is the device I tested stuff on the most, actually it was the device Carbon was initially brought up on. The Sony camera that is crashing so ofter is sadly nothing I can change ATM. As I said before, there is something in the making, but I will not go into detail with that anytime soon.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Damn.... Ah well. Someday they might release a better framework. Though currently sony seems to be struggling... 3.18 is still not even ready for the kitakami platform. Looking forward to the innovation you and your team are sure to manage :)

Also I couldn't help but notice you were wondering about automating dual sim support....

Couldn't you look into something like this?

Changed now from LineageOS to this rom, but I've got some questions:

• any working sound mod?

• and [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] how do you stick the governor? In Kernel Auditor it works for little but big is always changing back to interactive. :s
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] njvrensburg:
Hi everyone. Does anyone perhaps know how I can enable / disable message broadcasting. I cannot find the setting anywhere.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] langeveld024:
You type the command wrong.

You type: fastboot flash boot recovery.img

Where it should be: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

In other words, u are flashing recovery to boot partition instead of recovery partition.

Every one needs to make this mistake once lol
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] sceryavuz:
I dont know what is message broadcasting. If you mean message notification on lock screen. You have to disable all notification from lock screen. If you mean new message notification on notification bar, you have to block all on app settings.

IMAGE
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] njvrensburg:
No, its none of those. Broadcasting is used to transmit emergency warning or alert messages in disaster situations, such as earth quakes, tsunamis etc. This broadcast ability are being exploited by advertisers and spammers. Every time I unlock my phone, there is some annoying advert that I HAVE to wait 10 seconds before it allows me to close it.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] sceryavuz:
SS please?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] njvrensburg:
SS? Sorry, but I don't know all these acronyms.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

I found it at last. It is called Cell Broadcast. Found in Messaging, settings, advanced, wifi, advanced....

Sorry for the ? rat chase.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TpmKranz:
He means screenshot, I guess. The setting you're looking for is located in Sound settings: Settings app > Sound > Emergency broadcasts.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] njvrensburg:
Thanx, but already found it under messaging...

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

And I see it is also under SOUND settings. Thanks for the pointers. One would have thought it belongs under PHONE or NETWORK settings.

[MENTION=4570328]TpmKranz[/MENTION] [MENTION=5431111]njvrensburg[/MENTION]

Yes i mean screenshot. When you say "message broadcasting" I could not find anywhere. Cell broadcast is always in message settings :)

Hi, i flash this rom today and it's very fast I like it, the camera is perfect but when I recording a video the microphone doesn't work. On whatsapp for expample work but the volume is very low.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Strungout01:
I'm facing the same issue with the microfone too. Video recording doesn't capture sound. All the videos taken with Snapchat and WhatsApp don't have sound in them.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] viperx888:
It is interesting that there is no audio being recorded in snapchat and whatsapp. I know that Facebook video calls and video recording through Open Camera works well, with no issue in the recording of audio.

EDIT: Open camera has stopped recording audio, not sure what happened but it doesn't work anymore.

I've flashed back to the latest stock rom 32.3.a.2.33 - I will be flashing back to CarbonROM later in the week to retest the camera functionality (Clean Flash). I will say the stock rom mentioned above has a lot more battery drain than the carbon rom, and it is a lot more laggier when scrolling through websites in chrome and menus in applications... I forgot how bad stock was compared to aosp roms.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Strungout01:
Just noticed that even the video recordings taken with Google Camera do not have sound in them... It is really frustrating...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
It's also really frustating to get the same error report over and over again, when it has been said that we are looking into it.

I am aware of the issue. And I am looking into it. So please stop reporting the same bug over and over again.

Thanks.

Since [MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION] mentioned it in the LineageOS thread,

anyone tried microG and NanoMod with CarbonROM or does CarbonROM lack one of its pre-requisites (signature faking) ?

As I mentioned there you can always use Tingle.. I believe it forces the system to be permissive and sets up the right requirements..

Possible Camcorder Audio Fix

Hey Everyone,

I think I've found a way to correct the video recorder not recording sound issue.

Just like to say thanks to [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION], [MENTION=5197177]CarbonROM[/MENTION] team, and [MENTION=5704037]repey6[/MENTION] for some great work with their development.

Summary

I think there may be something in the Sound Mod pack by [MENTION=5704037]repey6[/MENTION] in the post https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-sonysoundenhancementviperaudio-t3517779 which enables the video recorder to detect sound again while recording.

Maybe it has something to do with the included Sony libs, frameworks etc. included in this sound mod. I'm not an android developer by any means, just know a little bit about programming in other languages for work and software testing in general; I'm only throwing ideas out there that might help in the development of this and other 7.1.x based AOSP ROMS, which seem to experience the same issue.

Hi [MENTION=8121765]viperx888[/MENTION]

You say that these /lib /framework /vendor files and prop settings fix the Video Camera Record problem after 23.seconds?

Edit: TESTED, NOT WORKING(video recorder still freeze after 23.seconds)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] viperx888:
Yo, I didn't say it was "the" fix merely posting a "possible" fix and that I was speculating a theory.

My post WAS NOT for the 23 second crash it was for the recording of audio in the video.

Read my test procedure and you'll see I did a lot more than just flash the sound mod.

Get your facts right. Read the post properly.

This is suppose to be a forum and community to help build great software for our phones. So far I've seen you bash posts down, far from being helpful in the community.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] sceryavuz:
I never issued video audio problem, never needed a possible fix for this. Many users said that "video recording freeze after 23.second, but audio continue"

You first mention that "I think I've found a way to correct the video recorder not recording sound issue."

rom flashed

supersu flashed

mod flashed

permissions granted

tested and it "possibly" fixes nothing :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] viperx888:
Okay... If you dive into this thread and others and use the search function you will see people have had a problem... I think you need to learn better English as you're not interpreting it properly.

I say again, this problem comes with latest build so it is not general.. use older build..

I did it before on old Xperia Z, u had to extract boot.img using the bootimg tools and after u mod the splash screen repack it and flash it.

Not sure if it still works the same for the z5 but worth a try !
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zebasketteur:
What about battery life in the last release ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
That was last possible on the Z2/Z3, however you were never able to override all of it.

The Sony Logo you see actually consists of 2 steps. One being drawn by the Bootloader itself and one used to be part of the boot.img (AFAIK on kitakami its both BL drawn). You wont be able to override both of the screens, only the second one (even that doesnt work anymore these days).

So no, it's not possible anymore ;)

Still the same as with last weeks release. I'm looking into some Fingerprint related things that might be responsible for the wakelock. This will probably mean we need to disable the FPC when the phone is in deepsleep though, which means we fall back to the stock "Press Powerbutton then unlock" behaviour.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] 4RM4N1:
would be cool if you would also search for the no sound problem when taking videos on WhatsApp / Snapchat and maybe boost the speakers a little bit. Calling is sometimes kinda painfull when you have to concentrate what your phone partner is trying to say. :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Cellsplitter:
First up, love the ROM. Tried a bunch when I decided it was time to unlock my bootloader and go nuts and this one is the best ROM by far.

Although of course I am here to report a couple of issues I'm having ;)

1. I am only getting a black screen when trying to mirror screen to Chromecast. Audio still works.

2. I am unable to remote control the device anymore with apps such as Teamviewer Quicksupport or Host.

3. Holding camera button CAN launch the camera application but not if the device is locked. Is it possible to change this?

4. Once in the camera application the camera button does nothing. Have to use the on screen one.

Thanks!
