I've used Lineage since two months because I had a problem with the call audio and the camera of Carbon. Since the latest release of Lineage I had battery drain problems, so I went back to Carbon. I was impressed of what the developers did in this two months. All camera and audio problems are solved, OTA updates are available and the ROM is really smooth. Antutu confirms the better performance with about 20.000 more points with the Carbon ROM. Thanks to all developers :)

Why is a high ringtone volume? E6633 z5 dual.

I have to modify the mixer_path... :(
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Oberbergler:
One issue I have. The phone switches suddenly off with the message that the battery is empty. After rebooting the battery level is how it was before. It happened now the second time in two days, yesterday with 33%, today with 50% of battery. Is this a ROM issue or is my battery dying?

I had battery drain on Lineage too, but this never happened and the battery seems not to drain on Carbon.

When I shutdown my phone,it isn't want to boot up. Stuck at black screen and not react for fastboot/flashmode. The only one choose is hold power on and volume down key and reset phone.(the data not reset or anything,just simple the reboot is little bit hard)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] iwcarbon:
I download the latest release but when i install on twrp i get zip signature failed, i disable then i get E3004: This package is for "E6633, E6653, sumire, sumire_dsds" devices. this is a " ". <---- should there be something between the quotes like E6653. E:unknown command [log] Updater failed with error 7.

Edit:

Figured it out. Had to install xperia z5 fastboot drivers, then update the TWRP 3.1.1.0, then not check for zip signature. Thats it.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Mr. Cube:
Hello guys,

My E6653 does random reboots every day.

After reboot the system behaves completely unstable and reboots again after 2 minutes.

I have installed latest CarbonRom, Gapps and Magisk 14.3 beta.

Magisk Modules: Greenify4Magisk, Unified Host Adblock, Universal Safetynet Fix, Viper4Android FX for Magisk v14+

Which logs should I provide for you?

Any idea what causes this? Maybe Magisk beta?:confused:

thx
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HoiFung:
Is anyone using the latest build? I clean and install the latest build, boot has been shown that Android is about to complete the upgrade, when the progress of this notice, the phone has no reaction until it automatically restarts. Now I am back to stock firmware:confused:.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] foueddyf:
I'm on the latest build. Dirty flashed as usual, magisk auto-reapplied in the process, all is good.

Thanks you so much.

I love this rom.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ratatattata:
I've been trying to figure this one problem out for weeks, but my permissions seems to have not been set correctly. Any ideas how to fix?

sdcard is internal and 6236-6430 is my external. I can't even move files between the two...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] pinky0x51:
I installed this ROM on my z5 and everything works, thanks for the great work! I just have one small issue, every time I reboot the home screen loses some apps. This happens with following apps:

- Nextcloud Notes (installed from f-droid)

- k9-Mail (installed from f-droid)

- dandelion (installed from f-droid)

- signal (apk downloaded/installed directly from the homepage)

It is really disturbing that I have to move them back to the home screen every time, even if you don't reboot the system to often. Does someone already experienced something similar? Any solution?

And then there is one even smaller issue. Before I installed carbonrom I tried lineageOS. There I really liked the cLock clock with integrated weather information and calendar. Does someone know where I could download this widget?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] langeveld024:
I did experience the same issue a while ago.

I then switched to nova launcher and the issue is gone.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ZawyNesio:
Hi, I'm thinking add a 4g /3g toggle switch to quick notification area will make this a perfect Rom for me, actually I has been trying it and I'm happy with battery life, and posibility of play Pokemon go with no problem in a custom Rom, this is awesome.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
Random reboot problem

Hi guys, I'm facing a big trouble.

My phone keeps rebooting randomly, and I know it's a pretty common issue with custom ROMs, but well, I've tried a lot of different roms and nothing, it keeps rebooting. I've seen that this rom was pretty ok with that issue so I don't know if it's caused by the custom rom. Could flashing a new kernel help? Maybe I should've opened a new thread due to the fact that it may be not caused by CarbonROM but there's a lot of helpfull users in this thread so maybe someone could help me. If someone's up to take a little bit of his time and try to help i'd really appreciate. Tell me if you need to see the catlogs because I'm having trouble while getting em, but I can try harder.

Some specific info: The notification light blinks about 4 times, then I get a freeze and after that a Black screen and reboot. It's happening totally randomly, sometimes when the device is hot but that's not the cause because it happens when it's not too hot as well. None of the apps is getting the CPU or the battery to drain, i checked that as well. The phone is not overclocked or underclocked, it never was. I've tried already to set a partial wakelock, set the SelinuxMode to both enforcing and permissive and nothing.

Using an XPeria Z5 (E6653) with the lastest CarbonROM weeklie version, Magisk v14.0. The kernel is the one included with CarbonROM (3.10.84-GC8D5289E).

Could changing from Magisk to SuperSU change something? I don't think so but tell me. I have some magisk modules installed so I didn't try yet.

Thank you if someone's up to help.

It's not happening once a week, it's happening just too often, like 4 or 5 times a day
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
I don't get what you're trying to say

Let me guess.. The sd card is set as internal storage and the actual internal storage is set as external?

You can't move files between the two? If you are rooted you can try apps like LinkToSD, you can get it either from play store or from the xda forum (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919326), that wouldn't solve the fact that internal became external but it would help you moving files. If you aren't rooted, well, figure out how to do it, would help you for sure with this kind of issues.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
I've tried on the E6683.

It was running on stock rom, which was automatically updated to 7.1.1

I could flash the rom and Gapps, and it did reboot.

After selection of SIM card functions I can choose for backup from cloud or start as new phone.

With both options I'll get message "Setup wizard keeps stopping, close app" , or "Setup wizard has stopped, open app again"

From there, I can do nothing else.

Just tried to reflash again, but same problem.

There are different tutorials to flash this rom.

I've found 3 different img files:

- recovery dualsim.img

- boot_e6683_with_twrp.img

- z5 twrp 3.1.0.img

So what should I flash to get this rom working?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
Go for a clean flash of everything included on the zip file of carbon rom.

On the first page of this thread you find a link ("Get carbon rom") open it from your phone and download the latest weekly.

The zip file includes boot.img, kernel and everything you need but don't unzip it. Just wipe everything (system, data etc.) from twrp. Download the zip to your ad card, either from your pc or directly from the phone, if it saves on internal memory move it to the sd card, as I said you can do it from linkToSD as well if your permissions are set wrong. You need root for that.

After you have the zip file go ahead, as I said, wipe and then flash. After flashing wipe dalvik cache if requested to.

What I do at this point is (having the Gapps.akp on sd card) I install the Gapps official app and download gapps from there to be sure I flash the right gapps package so everything goes right.

You should be done at this point.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
First, thanks for the fast response.

So you flashed the rom without gapps from twrp?

I did have the latest weekly (22-december)

I did factory reset, then advance wipe (dalvik/system/storage/cache/internal)

I've tried and the Phone booted well into home screen.

The welcome/startup installation was skipped (due to missing gapps)

The Gapps offcial app, I could not find.

I did copy a openGapps apk to my external SD. I run the installer and installed the pico gapps (don't want to much google stuff).

But the installation could not continu after downloading gapps (should run as system app)

All problems has to do with gapps.

Could you help me out with this?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
No, here's the thing.

You need to grant the openGapps app root permission, and you'll need root obviously, but the app itself wont ask you to do so. Download the package of gapps you want to from the app, then go to the apps settings by swiping to the right and at some point it should be an option (I'll leave you a screenshot of it)

After giving the app root permission and downloading the package of gapps of your choice the "install" button should appear no longer grey but red, and by hitting it it's gonna automatically reboot into twrp and flash the package. Should be easy.

Hope it helped, let me know!

Edit: if you aren't rooted I searched for a magisk module compatible with your device, this one should be the one: https://github.com/kantjer/MagiskFiles

Got it from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/safetynet-stock-kernel-twrp-magisk-t3621133
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
Thanks again.

I first did everything metioned from safetynet. But that was wrong. It installed everything again, and got stuck in boot screen.

I've reflashed the ROM again, and after only the magisk.zip. Then again wipe dalvik.

Phone did boot with Carbon logo, and magisk was installed. Now I could grant open Gapps and installed it.

So, thanks a lot. Now I can try this great rom.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
Strange thing is, my gallery is gone.

After flashing the rom only, there was a working gallery app.

After installing gapps, the gallery app was gone.

There was just no app for gallery at all.

Do you have a apk of your gallery?

Its better than the stock 7.1.1 gallery.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
I didn't check when I flashed cause I already had the sony gallery file, here's the link for it, just install as normal apk

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-d...y-album-6-1-0-14-ui-updated-22-t2378816/page1

Otherwise here's the link of the one I'm using but I guess it's the same one. You've got music app as well as the Sony lastest keyboard if you need it.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1td2ms1Qp6eMkyZ09J7K_vePNva-7OOw6

I'm still using sony's common software like gallery and music just because I'm used to it, you don't need to, if you want something else search for something cool on xda forums, there's surely gonna be something

Well, hope I helped you through the whole process my friend, have fun :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
The bad thing about the stock gallery (album), is showing all pictures as default, instead of albums.

After first flash of the Rom there was a gallery on home screen with map structure by default. It was not the album app.

What app was that?

Btw, it seems that the battery is draining quit faster then stock. I'll keep on monitoring that.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
For the draining problem download Greenify and block some apps

On the other hand I have XPosed so I have Amplify as well as some other modules that give me better battery life.

But I think it's not normal, shouldn't drain too fast
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
Thnx, will try Greenify.

Is it also an option to install smaller Gapps package? I've installed "stock" but lot of stuff I don't use.

Can I reinstall Gapps over existing ones?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
Back again :)

After testing some time, here are my findings.

In the first run it was quite unstable. Phone did freeze for 10-15 secs now and then (while copying files or using browser).

But I might have installed to much from the post about Magisk.

So last week again a clean install (also wipe internal SD).

I copied Magisk, open Gapps (micro) zip, and rom to external SD prior to wipe everything.

After flashing the rom, I did backup the gallery-app that comes with the rom (I Like this one) before losing it again.

Then again a clean install (wipe, flash rom, flash open Gapps zip, flash Magisk, all from ext SD)

Since then the rom is really stable and fast. And the gallery app was still there:D

Only thing is battery consumption. Attached a screen.

This is without mobile data set on for most of the time.

At night WiFi is off.

During the day brightness is set to 25% only.

Today I only used FB Lite for 15 minutes, and read a newspaper.

I know the stock rom was draining much slower.

Perhaps you could look into it?

Besides that, the rom is working fine!

Dual SIM just worked immediately, and no freeze or reboot by system so far.:good:

btw: where can i choose the start screen (launcher)?

Enjoy newyears eve! And all the best for 2018.

What is the stability level of this Rom on E6633 dual sim? Can it be used as daily driver
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
Well, of course. It's a stable version. It might have some bugs (In my case there aren't many). Althrough I'm not using a the Dual but the E6653, I'm having one of the bests experience I ever had when it comes to custom ROM's, it's about a month that I'm using it as daily driver.

I recommend you to do a clean flash so you make sure it won't be buggy at all, but anyway it could be just a little in the beginning. The cache files need to be recompiled when the device first needs them, but that should be okay after a couple hours I guess. The first boot up will take a hell amount of time to be completed (at least in my case), but don't worry, it's normal. I read that that's because dalvik cache files need to be compiled when the phone first boots up.

But yeah, as I said, till now it's one of the bests user experience I ever had, it feels smooth, it's highly customizable and it has all I expected. Nothing to complain about really much, but some users are facing a little battery drain. Not my case once again. Just make sure you flash everything right and it should be okay, gl, cheers :)

Adding Quick Tiles

I did a search but I couldn't find anybody else mention this. When I edit the quick settings tiles and try to add one from the bottom of the list, as I try to drag it up, it disappears. I've tried several different tiles, but as soon as I drag them 2 rows above where they currently are, it disappears and ends up back at the bottom.

Has anybody else run into this issue and does anybody know of a fix?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
It's not the custom rom's fault, it's a stock "bug".

I also had the issue a few times and as far as I know it's completely random, try several times, it should work.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] emmanpbeltran:
I just keep on adding all the quick settings icons until the bottom icons doesn't disappear when I drag them anymore. After that, I remove the quick settings that I don't need. Hope that helps.

FM Radio appears Broken

Hi everyone,

I had been on Lineage OS where FM Radio had worked, and recently switched over to CarbonROM. Everything is fantastic on this ROM. I have all the typical tools such TWRP, Magisk, etc for background info, and I'm on the latest CarbonROM (CARBON-CR-5.1-MOO-RELEASE-sumire-20171222-1543).

FM Radio app appears to be able to find the stations, and I can see the equalizer moving as though it is tuned, as well, the station name and song are displayed, but no sound comes out.

One time I let the app run for 20 minutes like that and a bit of sound came for 1 or 2 seconds then it became silent.

Did I misconfigure something or install a conflicting app? Or is the FM Radio app indeed broken? Thank you for any suggestions.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nabeelrazanaqvi:
Hi guys sorry for noob question but does this Rom work on E6633 dual sim? Is it stable to use as daily driver?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
Yes it is stable as daily drive, and yes it works with dual.

Read and apply if you don't know how to install it, I responded to another user and explained him how to do it, read from here on (page 65)

I've broken my XPeria Z5 so I can't try new ways if you need help but this works, it worked for him using your same device.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gjvv1975:
ROM is stable for weeks now.

One minor question:

Is the browser app specific for this ROM?

I like it but can't export this to my tablet.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ofmoll:
Convert it into apk file

With ES File Explorer, swipe to the left and go to "Library>APP", choose the browser and then just long press it, choose share and then "ES Explorer save to...", choose whatever you want, for example sd card and it will save an apk of the app you choosed.

Then transfer the apk to whatever the other device is and install.

I can't try it because I broke my Z5 so i can't run CarbonROM anymore but I've done it successfully a couple of times with other apps, try and let me know.

Cheers
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
Yes, Quarks is specific to Carbon. Technically you should be fine by just installing the attached APK on your Tablet though. (Just built that from source)

I'm the only one who can no longer update over the air? If I check for new versions I always get "problem during download". The last version I got over the air is CARBON-CR-5.1-MOO-RELEASE-sumire-20171222-1543
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Devo7v:
I had the same problem. I updated to the latest version manually and now it says "Download problem"
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
Our Servers are currently getting moved/upgraded and prepared for Oreo. Due to that, our website behind load distribution and file hosting, Mirrorbits, is down. The main download page is covered by a temporary solution, but Mirrorbits is used by the Delta updates. When delta can't reach that server it's assuming there is a connection issue.

We're aware of the issue, but will probably not be able to fix it before Oreo builds get released. Thanks for understanding :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] shehabskull:
Does this rom include stock sony camera files? BTW thanks for bringing JAN security patches here ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
Yes, it's using the same sources as the Lineage builds. I'm pretty sure all ROMs around do that by now though, the SODP cam drivers are not really something you'd want to use.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Al.Mamari:
Which one is better

Carbon rom or linageos
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whatever69:
A fresh install fixed the problem. It's interesting to note that scanning for stations was still a bit buggy. Not all the stations were found. It's like it stopped after it hit a certain range. Also, launching Google Maps and starting directions made the FM Radio app make some funny sounds and stop working.

Either way, it's working now.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] langeveld024:

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] m11kjj:
Firstly thanks for what seems to be a great ROM. I've only had it a day.

I've flashes magisk which I'm new to, but android pay won't run. Am I missing something?

I unlocked boatloader, flashed ROM flashed mini Gapps. Setup, then flashed magisk

Magisk reads ctsProfile: False

Many thanks
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] pinky0x51:
Thanks for the information. Can you roughly say when Oreo builds will be released and Mirrirbits will be back online? Just a rough estimation, are we talking about days, weeks, months, quarters or years?

In the meantime, what's the best way to update? Just download the latest version and flash it on the system? Do I need to keep anything in mind to make sure that I wont lose the installed apps, settings, data, etc? Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] m11kjj:
Nothing? Should android pay be something listed as not working? Or am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else have it working?

I did a fresh install twice with magisk 15.3, but always ctsProfile false and android pay, or amex contactless won't work.

Otherwise thanks again, the rest runs mega
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
I'd say we're talking about Weeks rather than months. To upgrade the build, just wipe cache and flash the zip you downloaded from the website, delta is doing the same thing (the magic with delta is, that its using delta patching to require less data to download, but eventually everything ends up in flashing the same zip, no matter if done by Delta or manually.

Therefore you also wouldn't require to take any special care of backups and things, just keep in mind then issues can happen everywhere, so just use your "normal" grade of attention :P

I'd like to link to the perfectly written up LineageOS reply on SafetyNet here. Our team completely shares that opinion.
