use adoptable storage, it works fine.

and everything is working fine with the rom here (0815 build). new kernel from opendata is very good, the heat is way less now.

a small bug or somethingm is that Goldendict crashed (cant even be started). Goldendict is working fine in may build (0506). maybe it got something to do with the library? and or dalvik-cache? [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] sure it's small bug, but i really need goldendict, so it'll be perfect if it's working fine in the new (and later) build.

thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
I recommend staying with conservative but changing tunables as it saves lots of battery
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SonicKiller:
Thanks for the answer, adoptable storage doesn't fit my needs.

If anyone has info about if the official Android app to sd ability is working with CarbonROM, please let know. ;)

My recent research showed that .asec will not be supported anymore in Android 9.0, but no word at all on 8.0/8.1, so I guess it is deactivated somehow in this rom.

If anyone savvy could confirm, that would be great.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] m1st3r1:
i think you dont really understand what's adoptable storage. i suggest you try it yourself. i have a lot of apps, so i needed big /data space, i had tested some 3rd party apps (link2sd, app2sd, etc), nothing worked. read about adoptable storage, found out that adoptable storage with hybrid partition is what i need, do it, have no complaint till now.

just learn more about adoptable storage..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SonicKiller:
I know what adoptable storage is, thank you.

I have used it and tried it a few times and still dislike the poor encryption choices and the non flexibility of the solution. In any case, this is not the discussion here.

I also have tried the "hybrid" solution as described here:

https://xdaforums.com/idol-3/general/make-sd-card-semi-adopted-t3399510

It is indeed the best compromise with this rom, as I couldn't find app to sd to work.

Nevertheless I am not looking for alternatives here, so my question still remains: does anyone know if app to sd is deactivated from the rom? Removed from Android 8.0? Or if anyone has it to work with this rom?

If anyone knows it it's removed from Android 8.0/8.1, specifically from this rom, that would be super useful and at least would give a confirmation/infirmation about the tech.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xperia1-2:
The play market needs a partition update, but I want to update to the latest version at the first time, but I was confused by that version. I don't know which version of Z2 should download. Can you answer it for me?:o
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] badhon_raj:
Where do i get this kernel please?

Can you please suggest those tunings?

And which app to use for tuning kernel?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Yuzutu:
I am sorry for asking about this but I am switching to this rom from RR so do I have to flash stock .ftf again or can I wipe and flash rom just like updating? Thank you.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SonicKiller:
No you don't have to flash the ftf in that case.

Just do the usual wipe cache, dalvik-cache and data to make sure app config is not breaking your system.

And make sure you wipe /system partition to ensure nothing is left from RR.

You can try updating without wipe data but I don't think anyone would recommend this, since same apps can be configured differently between CarbonROM and RR.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dash_k:
Gapps for this ROM please

Thnx
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] aelfinn:
Seriously? You can’t search for something like that yourself? You can’t even read the OP?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Sindar88:
Did any body have restart problem in last build? Recently i moved from rr and My d6502 restart when screen go off
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ryan.vandalz:
No,i dont have that issue.

using kernel from opendata btw.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Sindar88:
I tried with that too and it yet restart
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Did you came from a custom ROM?

flash stock ftf 6.0.1, and try again
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
Suddenly my phone started to have this problem. when my phone is locked after sometime my phones loses its signals and when the screen is on after a few mins it signal come back. Any guess what could be the problem
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dash_k:
Beans gapps is for android N as I see

I tried open gapps but always get service FC

So I came here

Thnx
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
I assume you installed the ROM and let it boot, then tried to install gapps. This is a problem..

Install the "ROM and GAPPS" together, and magisk, if you want root.

Right now, you need to wipe data/cache/dalvik/system
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
The kernal up [emoji121] by opendata is really cooling and saving battery, but the performance became laggy, I'm on the default governor.

Anyone has a good tuning to balance performance and battery ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MAKW38:
Default is conservative. So the laggy performance

I'm on ondemand , very good performance and battery not that great but good. And its charging faster than before.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkeaydin:
To solve the lag issues with the new kernel, Opendata suggested changing the turnables instead of changing the governor. We don't want to change to a different governor because conservative saves a lot of battery.

So I've been experimenting with different settings. Right now I'm using up_threshold = 60 instead of 80.

I'm definitely not sure if this particular change fixed the lag issue or not. It may as well be a coincidence.

But I've been using my device without lag and with incredible battery performance last 2 days.

Device used %1 of battery overnight, it used to be at least %5 so I'm really happy with it

Hi everyone. First of all, if i m writing wrong forum, i am sorry. My problem with the rom is that when i am in call my voice does not go properly.

No problem here

Flash the ROM

Flash Gapps

Flash boot.img from twrp

Flash magsik for root

Clear cash/ delevik an go

Hope I help you
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wadoo24:
i all ready did that , the problem is that boot.img cause restart the phone over and over again
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dash_k:
Strange

Try resize portions from twrp

Go to mount in twrp and mount all EXEPT SD card

Back to advanced option in twrp an choose file manager

Select root portion and choose deleted from advanced file manager option

If you see red lines don't worry they will disappear after repoting an advanced clean

Force close the phone press together { power bottom and volume+}

Open device again an go to recovery

Then advanced clean for system cash &delivik and data

And try delete cash /delevik after every installation

Good luck

hey guys what the hell are you talking about? i didnt mean any urging or that kind of joke like [MENTION=8586802]xperia1-2[/MENTION] mean.

i mean that the last build and previous one signed by CR team, not rcstar. u can check it out if u want you fools. just go to (settings > system >about phone > see the build number and kernel version.) because he focused his other device right know

also he doesnt respond any comment on that topic almost 2 month. as you know RR build support has stopped. so I just wanted to check out the dev thats all . my comment was friendly. I was here before this title opened and beleve me i know how to leave positive or negative comment here. keep your own mind to yourself and dont spam the topic. ok ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
I don't know why you mentioned me as my reply wasn't for you.

Because all ( device specific ) issues has been solved,

This is official monthly release, that's why it says (crteam) and rcstar is ( one of the team )

If you read couple of posts up, you will see that rcstar is busy working on other phones, not only our beloved Z2.
