Hey, loving this rom..

Experienced a couple of random FCs but nothing annoying, but 2 things I noticed are :

WiFi is really slow/buggy.. not in terms of signal strength but in terms of speed

Advanced reboot menu in developer options does nothing, enabled or disabled, pressing reboot just does a normal reboot

Been using the rom for a day so far and for those of you wondering, the rom has substratum just like nougat.. (i was wondering that myself so thought I'd say it here ?)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I do the disabling fluence trick...and mic works perfectly on calls and voice message! [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] check it for bugfixing
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Its an opengapps issue and reported to the opoengapps guys

Yes the reboot Option was only added for fast bringup and the switch is default on and changes exactly nothing

Thanks for the hint.

Do you have echo while call after disabling ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
I've also disabled it and there is no echo.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I call my girlfriend today . Before disabling fluence , low mic,interrupted ,bad quality. Voice mesage on telegram were low and interrupted a lot. Worse than calls. Only with hearphones ,with their mic, all working perfect. Then, after disabling fluence, voice message are perfect too on z2 mic and i recall my girlfriend and her can hear perfectly my voice without problems or echo. This same situation is on nougat before October security patches. After those, mic there is messed up totally. And disabling fluence, makes mic even worse .On Oreo i can do fluence trick again! Hoping in next release for a definitive fix for mic and definitive video fix (fix only flickering on video when you move). Thanks for support! I'm here to give direct feedback for everything ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
how to disable mic fluence ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
On build.prop go to # Audio config and change the first value to none an the other ones to false. The latest one (mic.type ) to analog.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Thanks for explination ;) i will look how stock has noise cancellation set and i will try if it it helps

Video recording is work in progess

Our media codec is incompatible with oreo and needs to be updates. Currently all falls back to default settings which are not good in our device
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
Worked !! Thank You
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
For mic : thanks to you, try to investigate,fix and try. Actually mic without fluence works like a charm. Actually no problems .Like nougat before October security patches . Same problems and same solution ;) try mic without fluence for a try before check stock noise cancellation and tell me . :)

For video recording: i hope you can find a solution and right media codec for Oreo.

Thanks for your work and take alive our Xperias z2! :D

You're welcome ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xMasterbaitx:
Can I install it on RR ROM? Wipeing every partition (data,system,cache,dalvik cache) ? Or I need to go to the stock .291 and after take Oreo.

Ooooor another question. If I stay at Nougat and install it with Multirom? It will be worked?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
For first question, wipe data,system,cache and davlik before install Oreo. If you go back on 291 with a full and deep wipe to install Oreo after ,is the best choice to do a perfect installation.

For second question, try it by yourself ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Fluence is disabled even on Stock Rom!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Nope seems totally different
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mondor1979:
Android Pay doesn't work. NFC is on, Application runs normally, but payment can not be processed as the phone is not detected by terminal. Something is wrong with NFC driver I suppose.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xMasterbaitx:
Okhey. Thankyou answer :).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
HCE is supported and working so that's something strange. I just tested with an NFC tag in my workplace and it opens a site just fine so NFC works.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Wifi is more stabe than nougat. Fast and perfect signal. And no fc for me. Try mini opengapps.

Make sure you did full clean. With Flashtool
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
I've been using this ROM for almost 48hours now.

Bluetooth - works great with my mi band 2, and sound works perfectly with headphones and a speaker.

Performance - seems better than nougat, so, it's really awesome.

Battery life - not as good as nougat but still better than stock ROM and it's getting better.

GPS - one of the times I used it was not that accurate but could be my ISP's problem, I don't know, other time worked just fine.

Microphone - A really nice improvement over the latest nougat builds, some people recommended changing fluence mode to none and sure makes it better but if you activate "Ok Google" voice detection the mic is muted, so I would stick with the fluence mode, is good enough for me.

Camera - For photos it's really good, just like stock ROM, you can install opendata port of Sony camera app and works perfectly. Video recording is not perfect but it's already working and it's getting there too.

Brightness levels now are just like stock, really nice. Overall it's really worth the upgrade in my opinion, thanks for the time you spent making this.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] oguzbatu:
I also npticed a bug which sometimes when you click on bluethoot it won't turn on even in the settings but a soft reboot fixes it so no big deal. And about the mic fluence is it really bad in voice calls? If it is I will also disable it. Only deal breaking feature is the video recording for me but I can live with that since it is a alpha rom which just got released. As I said before thank you for your work on our device.

Note: I can always provide logs if needed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mohaned98:
I'm on a clean install and using aroma gapps

What wifi frequency are u using? I'm on 2.4 ghz, maybe it's faster on 5ghz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] c0ntagi0:
How in hell's bells are you guys flashing gapps? Every time I try, it gives me an error saying not the correct version and quits. I've tried both open gapps and bean gapps. No luck!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
I'm on 2.4 and I'm surprised with the signal. As i remember. When i was on nougat the wifi was unstable and sometimes drops the connection. But now. No drops
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] oguzbatu:
In open gapps be sure to select arm-8.0 (if you are gonna install nougat chose 7.x)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Maybe you have downloaded the wrong one. Make sure to choose Arm > 8.0 > mini or full. To be honest i use mini and there is no problem with it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mohaned98:
Yeah I agree with you on the stability, that used to happen to me too.. ugh idk I'll try on a different network and see

Thanks for your help
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kersey:
A fantastic ROM, have done a fresh install of the ROM and my apps rather than restoring my Titanium Backups and all is perfect except I can't write to my external SD card.

I know it doesn't support ExFat to write to so have tried f2fs but still have to change the file system from r/o to r/w every time...does anyone know of a fix to make it permanent
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] c0ntagi0:
Thank you gents. That was my initial thought too. But when I downloaded the open gapps app, it offered only 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 max. That got me confused. I'm going to try again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kersey:
Damn, I still can't write to my external SD card from the internal storage, have tried Ext4, vfat and f2fs but it fails each time :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] aelfinn:
What exactly does that refer to?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] N00b_H:
You need to download the 8.0 gapps from their website the app still doesn't have oreo.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] knot2006:
Formating SD card as f2fs from recovery did the trick for me, and works perfectly.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Farooq95:
Dirty flash works?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Yes it's different because I took that screenshot from the stock rom, I'm using. The sound u record with ur front mic has extremely better quality than what we witnessed on Nougat (Custom rom) and the weird part is that on both roms, I had fleunce disabled but still stock rom had way better quality.

Has anyone ever tried typing FluencePro instead of fluence in the build.prop ??? Because as you may see in the screenshot it has three options, None, Fluence and FluencePro.

Anyway I know you may think that I'm fan of Stock Sony rom but no I'm not, I actually believe that even stock rom got bugs too, the output audio volume level in calls is not much, the input volume in calls on Speaker is low, that the noise has more volume than ur voice which makes it difficult for the person you're on the phone with to hear u,

I sincerely hope [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7796065]opendata[/MENTION] would find find a fix for this because they have always found a way to fix the bugs and make a custom rom almost stable for us, thanks for your time putting time to make the rom stable and of course thanks for reading this
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] angelfathi:
Hey guys,

Every time I want to install or upgrade the ROM, I can't goes to recovery, so I flash TWRP again, but this time the phone says that it's not rooted, and I have problems rooting again, what can I do or there's any way to root the device again?, and do I need to wipe data when upgrading from 7 to 8?,

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
I think you have to activate root in the developer options
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] angelfathi:
Which sitting?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Fluence pro broken totally mic on oreo. None suit perfect for calls and voice message
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Go to phone settings, about phone, press build number many times untill it says you are now a developer, then press back developer options should be there.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

It makes sense if it's totally broken in oreo because it's alpha stage. We should test it on nougat
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Oreo mic seems same of nougat before October security patches. On October security patches seems totally broken. With none becames very very bad.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
I tried fluencepro and doesn't sound that good
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
For me the mod with fluence Works good on oreon build i dont know what you have

What mod sorry? I use carbon 6.0 and I disable fluence

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION], oreo works perfect. I found only one bug - nfc is not working. It works, it switches off and on but its not working, i cant pay with it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
NFC works with NFC tags so it's working.

Like I said before HCE is supported so something related to payment is just broken.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
It seems doesn't working for configure Google accounts too.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I tested NFC and it opened a site from an NFC tag so I'm 100% sure that it works.

I haven't tested payment so it may not be working
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] oguzbatu:
By the way skype calls with video works fine evem though video doesn't. Can someone explain the diffrence just curious.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] angelfathi:
I meant which sitting in developer options ...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
"Allow Root Access".
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kuba130000:
I can confirm that something is wrong with Android Pay (with Magisk) on Oreo. On Nougat it works, on Oreo not, but it should. NFC is working fine, because is reading tag properly.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kersey:
Am still having a problem gaining access to my external Samsung card...am trying to copy from my internal card to my external using the default 'Files' app but it doesn't give me an option to paste. When I try and use File Explorer it asks me to select the root of the SD card but still won't work.

Any help is really appreciated as the ROM is spot on otherwise.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kiwishd2:
cheers for the rom rcstar6696, working great, for alpha, a few freezes in a few apps, like firefox and cricbuzz but that could more than likely be oreo than the rom, takes a while to charge but the battery if not in use is awesome, one thing i keep losing recovery, camera and sd card working awesome too
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
Go into recovery and Format your SD card there in ofher Format
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kersey:
Thanks mate but I've flashed to Ext4 and f2fs via recovery and still no joy, I even reformatted on my laptop and let the phone format it to vfat but it still isn't writable when the phone is on but while in recovery it will backup to sdcard.

I also flashed the whole phone fresh so as not to get any problems upgrading...really can't think how to solve it :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Carbon has no inbuild root access if you want root flash magisk vor super su
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
Try this Instruction :

Download Rom

Put the Rom and gapps and everything you want to flash Into SD card

Now you need to flash .291 ftf with flash tool , let the .291 Rom Boot now go Into fastboot and flash the lastest recovery ( this step need to garanted that no bugs come on)

Boot Into recovery flash the Rom and all From SD card. If you have do this now go to wipe ( advance wipe check the SD card and select change file system - now chose f2fs. If this end let the Rom Boot up.

Configurate all settings apps that you need.

Now you have accsses to read and write the SD card.

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] Sorry for bothering you, but can you answer, is it possible to add FM radio to Carbon on Oreo? Tried radio app from LOS Oreo, from RR 7.1.2, from Z5 stock 7.1.1 - no luck - all of these FC.

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

This step will only grant you no bugs only if you have installed it for the first time after earlier ROMs, based on Android 4.4.2, 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 for example. If you have once installed .291 it is not necessary to install it ever again. Dont dance with a tambourine, it is not necessary ...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
About FM radio yes i will add the package in next build

And about the stock flash you are completly right
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] angelfathi:
I see,

I flashed TWRP again and installed the ROM, everything seem good, didn't find any bugs for now,

Thanx
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Samir2298:
I am currently on Carbon nougat rom(Fresh installed it few days back). Now I want to install carbon oreo rom. Do I need to install stock .291 and then flash oreo. Or just simply flash oreo through nougat?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
If you installed WEEKLY instead of TEST build a clean install is needed, otherwise a dirty flash will be enough.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Samir2298:
why do we need to install stock ftf first? Does aosp rom use files from it? Can't we just format system, data and caches from recovery and flash new rom? Why does it not considered CLEAN INSTALL?

Ok so after few days of testing and playing with the rom the problems not listed in bugs i found so far:

1. Giving APPS acces 2 SD Card doesn't work ( they will still save in SDCard/Andoid/Data/app )

2. Phone gets extremely hot while playing vide especially YouTube or Twitch, so much i have 2 keep it outside my protective case ( never had that problem )

2.1. CPU throttling looks like it only works on Core 0 and core 1-3 are going full speed.

3. MXPlayer and VLC like 2 crash of freze on playing Video (.mkv) the same as in 7.1.2

4. Battery drain is bigger than in 7.1.2 ( but that could be me just hvy playing with the phone )

5. Wifi sometimes doesn't auto start after phone restart.

6. Luncher3 ( aka Pixel Launcher ? ) Doesn't change colors like the one on Pixel 2 ( it should get dark with dark wallpaper ) i don't know tho if this is only Pixel 2 thing.

Apart from that rom is rly fluid and snappy and starts super fast.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
1. works for me

2.simply no i looking Video and play some games and it never got hot yet

2.1 CPU settings are the same AS Nougat

3. MKV is not supported

4. battery drain is abit more worse but thats simply normal and always in New Android Version

5. wifi needs always some time to initialize

6. pixel only features
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mohaned98:
I installed Pixel Launcher using aroma gapps then updated it to pixel 2 launcher from xda labs and the navbar changes to black on the app drawer and I got the bottom search bar and everything.. it doesn't change with wallpaper color though but this is as close as i could get if you want to try it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mondor1979:
Guys, Carbon is not fully translated to Russian (RR is translated for nearly 100% and carbon seems to be at about 70%). Also tryied to set Trebuchet launcher as default in Carbon ROM, it crashes. After installing google pixel launcher to rom, it's stock launcher start crushing when I tryied to switch back to it. Returned back to RR as I can use any launcher on it and it is completely translated!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RaizinGolD:
fast charge is included? :D and what about battery life on screen time ...it's very important for me... sorry for my english
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Fast charge is not included and will probably never be.

SoT is expected to be 4hrs+, sometimes, with proper tweaking in kernel settings, you can even get 6hrs+.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RaizinGolD:
oh no :( ... i hope will they add fast charge ,thanks for answer me bro :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I'm trying latest official build. No fluence mic fix, and the mobile data is strange. It remains to h+ when in the previous build became lte. But after some time, changing zone or sometimes reboots (sometime doesn't work) it show always lte. But one thing... In previous build when I go out, mobile data doesn't work. I that case I must wait or reboot(but there reboot always work). That's my report :)

Edit: I do an accurate test for mobile data. Is the new system to do this. For prevent bad lte and have more stable and accurate connection. Choose the better connection for speed and stability. And lte in that zone is slower than h+. In other zones the lte is perfect. I love this new mobile data. Now next is fluence fix!

is carbon room include Configuration tap like RR room ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mohaned98:
I'm on RR and want to switch to carbon but i cba to set up my apps all over again..

Can i just back up my data partition, clean install carbon, boot up then restore data partition?

Sorry if it has been asked before but I searched here and on RR thread but couldn't find an answer
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Hmm.. I think restoring the whole partition can cause problems. Why don't you try to use titanium back up.. Or go back up.. To back up only apps with their data?

I didn't try that actually. But I'm 100% sure that you can restore the apps.. But the data... Not sure. Maybe works maybe not [emoji4]
