I have a small problem.

Before updating to Carbon I only made Twrp backup. Soon realized i forgot to write down some important security files for home security. So reflashed back to my stock(twrp).

Over at 4.4.2 I made Titanium Backup- after reading forums here. Specifically made backups for sms/calls/wifi to xml.

Then reflashed back to CarbonRom with 2.7 version(for my stock version 3.2.1 does not work) with 4 partitions. Then flashed again now from 3.2.1 with full 6 partitions. All is good.

However Titanium Backup crashes. So I tried the free version and it semi-worked up to point where it hanged up on "searching devices" and after that(by force shutting down) also stopped working.

I did the trick with “com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex” alas no go.

After some tries I gave up and installed "SMS Backup & restore". It did understand "call.xml" but it shows "invalid" for "sms.xml". Is there a way to convert the file so it becomes valid? Maybe there is a better app that understands Titanium Backup xmls.

The root I used was magisk. Titanium backup worked fine on stock(it did have superSu) but it crashes on Carbon. Are there any solutions?

ROM looks great and runs fast and smooth. One issue, though: standard audio recordings are only acceptable if you speak right into the microphone. If not, it seems that some kind of noise cancellation is in operation, making anything that’s further away than 30cm practically inaudible.

I found one solution in a specific app. Easy Voice Recorder lets you switch microphones, from “main microphone” to “back”; then everything is perfect. But that, of course, does nothing to fix the problem for, say, WhatsApp audio messages. Any ideas?

Quick question, currently I am on 10.02.2018. test build sirius. Now i want to switch on 6.5.2018. version of official. Do I need to do coming back to stock using flashtool or I can just flash boot image and recovery then wipe all from there? Can micro gapps be used with this version? :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kali_307:
You don't have to go back to stock rom, but you have to do a full wipe. Then flash ROM, GApps and magisk (optional).

Be sure that you use newest twrp 3.2.1.

I'd like to thank rcstar6696 and the team for all the work on this rom. It's great to see this phone still getting some love.

I do have one complaint/request, the Mobile Network Standby seems to be a thing that eats up most of the battery, is there anything that can be done about it, or is my only option to keep mobile network turned off when not needed?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zingo7:
Alright- Been playing with Carbon for some time!

These are the bugs I found:

* Brakes Internal Storage MTP mode.

In most cases after first boot up your phone sees your SD-card- You have the option to flash it to Internal or set as Portable storage. The problem is in most cases (4 to 5 from my experience) It

encodes Internal storage

regardless what option you pick and when you hook up your phone to PC The internal storage is empty while SD-card works as intended(if you picked portable). I've reflashed to stock and this is Carbon issue. The tips found on net are invalid in this case to show contents on internal via pc(aka they dont work).

* Some apps from google play get stuck on

Error code 492

. From my experience : Facebook, Bacterial Takeover, Chrome, Waze etc. Thank God for apk sites. (You will have to update these apk manually in future)

* There is a significant more battery drain. (faster cpu?)

* Titanium backup wont work on Carbon as SuperSu wont work on Oreo 8.1 and magisk does not work with Titanium.

* The initial sound volumes are set too high. You can hear the mics vibrating. First thing you need to do after a fresh install- set your volumes down.

* From the looks of it- Less customization options when compared to Carbon Nougat (7) . For example no tile screen from drop out notifications.

Tanx a lot for this great smooth rom,Just have one strange problem,My Wifi searching but coudn't find anything,My phone is 3G model D6302, i installed the rom 2 times with full wipe and installed patch and full Gapps. please help. :eek::eek:

nope, just format it first (eg to fat32, it'll work fine)

i updated Chrome from play store just fine, there must be something wrong with yours, i think the storage's problem

wrong again. tibu + magisk are working fine in mine. tell me what it said when it didnt work..

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zingo7:
Hey @m1st3r1

1. Could you elaborate more -> format to fat32? Is it safe to format your internal storage(16GB that comes with your phone) ? I can format it from twrp- I do it always when switching from Stock and Carbon. Then fresh install everything again. And when I boot up all is good- i can see contents on Interal/ Sd.

The problem happens when

the little pop-up shows on top and asks what to do with the SD-card. After i check "use as portable" storage I loose the ability to see my Internal.

Also the icon changes to this blocky one. I have reinstalled MTP drivers.

Update: By using "Disk Info" It seems my Internal is set as ext4 and SD card is set as sdcardfs .

So what to do?

I did not set it, Carbon did.

2. I think so too. I believe some apps need to see contents on Internal and if they can access it they throw the error.

3. Well it could be the above thing that's causing it. I can download it from google play. It usually freezes on processing after you grant it root access- !!! Interesting now it works? as of typing this i did connect my phone to pc. Never did that before. Very strange its the first time titanium works for me in Carbon!

Hey there!

Your phone is D6503 or also known as SO-03F So you need to flash the correct modem driver- any other baseband version will not work and it can brick your phone in rare cases!

Best bet is to get them from source where they were born- aka China:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] m1st3r1:
ok, i think i misunderstood, it's the internal 16gB, i thought it's extsdcard. hmmm. do u use the latest twrp? try format it from there, but dont format it to fat32, just choose format data, then wipe data.. it shouldnt ask for that question tho.

it's normal. but it should be able to access both tho (internal shared storage) and extsdcard

ok, it's clear that there's something wrong with your internal storage. my best advice is flash latest stock rom (the ftf one) using flashtool and hope for the best.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zingo7:
twrp_3.2.1-s.img as in 3.2.1 twrp. Its working fine as twrp goes. Yes- I format Data each time. And when I boot my phone all is ok- no problems! The problem happens

After

the pop-up asking what to do with the SD card! So far i have reflashed my phone fixing other things like idk maybe 10 times now. Each time it asks me whether I want to format my sd card to Internal or set as portable storage.

The pop-up does not go away until its addressed!

After that i can not access my Internal via Pc.

Carbon

changes(?) my Internal to

ext4

. ext4 is native android file system- I have no idea why its causing problems for google play store. 95% apps i can download and install fine but there are those 5% that I cant.

Installing them from Sd card is ok alas you still cant update them from google play.

2. Yea before the pop-up it works fine.

3. did that yesterday. The thing is when I restore my phone no problems. Though i have not used flashtool to go back to stock. But then again before Carbon I used it many times and also there were no problems. The problem happens only in Carbon Rom :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] TheOv3r:
Perfect but OVERHEATING!

I know that it's not because of ROM , I have previously installed - Lineage os 15.1 (8.1.0) - and have overheating and battery draining issue.

I've installed this ROM and still have overheat, what can I do? :confused:

d6502 - Carbon (Sirius) latest - 8.1.0 - buuuuuuut:

I have still - Linux 3.4.0 Lineage - kernel, How can I find a new kernel for this ROM and android? I know how to install

Are boot.imgs kernel? When I search for kernels all of them are IMG and when I install them just boot and recovery mod will change and Lineage kernel version is still overheating :(

Pls if anyone know a kernel (preferd elf) give me the link :eek:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Integryx:
I never had this issues to be honest, I'm using my internal storage with sd card without a problem.

For the google play errors, the errors might be related with the google services or you can search more information about that error code on google. I've no installed all of the apps you've mentioned without errors.

About the battery my phone last around 12 hours or so with normal usage. And as I've noticed with oreo, it has runs faster than nougat, so I think there's a cpu and gpu configuration with oreo.

As per customization, who knows, it might be added soon
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rshad777:
is there any bugs or problems or things to patch in latest nougat build of this rom ?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zingo7:
When you first booted up Carbon- did you get that pop-up asking what to do with Sd-card? What did you choose?

Im currently investigating why I cant access my downloads on Internal. "Files" and "File commander" sees nothing. Root Browser also sees nothing but it sees everything around it- aka System files on Internal.

How safe is it to wipe Internal Storage? Will it fix the issue I'm having? Afaik I will have to reflash everything though will it do the trick?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Integryx:
On first boot of CarbonROM OS 8.1.0, the default format state of my sd card is "Portable", and that time I can access the files from Internal and SD Card. Have you tried wiping the Dalvik Cache? Or you came from another Oreo rom and set your sd card as internal storage then switched to CarbonOS?

If you're going to wipe your internal storage, you'd better backup everything important first (Your Files), wiping the internal storage is safe, it's like wiping an sd card, and upon flashing the firmware, apply Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Cache, Wipe Data & Wipe System then flash the custom rom. Also update your TWRP on 3.2.1 if you're using a lower version of twrp. Before doing this steps, try to set your SD card as Portable rather than internal, if you set the SD card as internal, the internal storage will me hidden on PC Connections and detect SD card instead because if you do that it's like the old days method, swapping out storage.

Whats new in new build? I just installed CR6.1 yesterday. Should i update?? By the way, my Titanium Backups didn't work in Oreo. Is there any advice for this problem? I really need some app data backups...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Taha_moahammed:
I wanna update the new weekly version

Should i wipe the the system and data or.. Direct flash?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kali_307:
If you are currently on a previous weekly you can dirty flash the newest build.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zingo7:
https://blog.carbonrom.org/

If you already have a Carbon Rom weekly you can just flash the new zip in twrp- It will update everything on auto- no need to wipe anything.

Same goes with Gapps- you can also directly flash them- they will auto update (install/remove whats needed).

I have problems with Titanium Backup too. In fact it cannot create a Backup as it cannot access it. In my recent posts it seems Oreo decodes some parts in internal storage and that causes issues for some apps- not sure how to fix that. On Xperia 4.4.2 and 6.0.1 no such problems. Also because of this Google Drive backup semi-works. It can backup some parts and for rest it just displays "waiting to backup".

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] may shed some light into this.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkeaydin:
I used to have issues such as crashing with Titanium Backup then I found a solution and it works without any problems now. Btw I store my backups on external micro SD card.

After a fresh system installation, I use a file explorer to go to root directory and search for "keramidas".

Even with full data wipe somehow there are leftover files related to titanium backup. So I delete any leftovers (be careful not to delete your actual backup folder)

Then I install Titanium Backup and restore my apps as always.

Question about AOSP keyboard 8.1.0

After using Sony keyboard for about 2 years, through every custom rom and always use her, nothing else. Now when I was preparing my phone for Carbon weeklies i forgot to make backup of my beloved Sony keyboard app:crying: .

And i thought why I don't give a chance to AOSP? :confused: First of all Sony keyboard used to learn my style of typing, knew everything what I wanted to write, now this keyboard doesn't learn **** *I'm so frustrated*.

Went to settings turned on everything what it needs (btw settings you change doesn't take effect before reboot) and still dont memorize words. So tried to install dictionary for Serbian language,couldn't find one on Google, in the app we have installed english and german which is okay but I really need Serbian. I found one slow way,which demands to type all word manually but I want something easier :D

Also gesture typing doesn't work at all. :confused:

If there is someone who can help me to fix this or just to say what to do I would appreciate. :good: BTW It's not problem with layout it's about text prediction. :)

P.S. What substratum themes you guys are using?

I successfully installed CR 6.1 ROM (I wiped everything else than my SD card that I manually cleaned)

I now have a strange behaviour when the smartphone disconnects from the Wi-fi access point. It needs several retries to get a steady data connection. It can take up to several minutes.

During this time, I see that mobile connection performs some disconnects / reconnects to the network.

While connected to the wi-i access point, I have troubles to retrieve MMS contents. I have the same behaviour on the "mobile network" icon I see black then white.

Enabling / disabling airplane mode does not solve the issue.

But If I change the preferred data connection from LTE to 3G, it disconnects and reconnects once and then it works.

I can then go back to LTE preferred mode, it disconnects and reconnects once and it's fixed. It's then steady for hours.

In developper Options, I disabled : Mobile data always active... that didn't change anything. I still have the same behaviour.

I just reset APN setup. I had the following behaviour:

- I lost network connectivity ==> normal

- network connect loop ==> abnormal

==> change preferred network to 3G

- connect correctly at first attempt

==> change preferred network to LTE

- connect correctly at first attemp

What could I do to diagnose more accurately that behaviour ?

(It's a new behaviour, with 5.1, it was working fine)

One specific thing: to restore SMS / MMS database, I copied all /data/user_de/0/com.android.provider.telephony folder from a backup. I don't know if it could interfere.

[EDIT]

Since I reset APN, I don't have any issue anymore... Weird...

Internal Storage

Sorry for my noob question but I have the following problem: My internal storage space is running out.... Z2 has overall 16GB internal Storage, round about 11,5 GB free for use.

Over all my apps and data used on the internal sdcard is about 5,8 GB (file manager fx says so). Storage info at system is showing 14,87 GB used of 16 GB (4,8GB System). Where is the lack between 5,8 and 11,5?

thx for anyone who can explain me the "lost" space"

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] m1st3r1:
hmmm, i dont know if this answer your question, but internal storage is divided by 2: /data and /sdcard , totaling 11.5gB , while your microsd is /extsdcard. so if your apps and data take 5.8gB that means you have about 4.7gB for the /sdcard . this is being done automatically tho, so (i think) if your /data is low, just delete something (lots of things) in your /sdcard.

or, just use adoptable storage, which basically, the /sdcard partition will take space from your microsd, making the whole 11.6gB available for /data) it works fine with this rom. use the hybrid partition for your microsd is recommended.
