Sorry, I don't use both Whatsapp and Instagram, so other users must give you some feedback if video recording works with those apps.

GPS is working fine in apps that I use (like Google Maps and Navigon) and also GPS-tagging photos with Sony Camera app works, so it should work in apps like Instagram too.

what's the relation between test builds and weekly

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] I am evaluating staying on test builds versus weekly builds. Please briefly explain how changes from test builds end up on weekly builds (if possible ;) ). Is there a fixed 'delay' after new patches are validated by users in this thread? Or it happens without a formal process (when ready)?

In a contextual setting, let's take video recording. It is evolving in test builds, but seems not 'stable' yet. Will we see it in weekly before it is stable?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
the difference is basicly that the test builds include some not stable stuff like video recording now and some test comits from carbon which are not in the weeklys yet or never get in the weekly like the kcal implimentation in settings

upgrading to oreo

I have upgraded to the 20180424 weekly carbon oreo build, coming from carbon nougat. I dirty flashed the oreo ROM along with oreo opengapps and magisk from the latest TWRP. The system booted fine, leading to a flawless upgrade experience. The only thing I noticed was that I lost my saved wifi aps.

latest weekly 1-5 play sound from sd card issues

hi mr [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION]

I am the one who report issues about playing sound from sd card in CarbonROM Bug Tracker

I just want to confirm the issues is still there after reflash rom with clean installation even without flash gapps

I am sorry I do not know how to bring log file about this issues :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] okij:
+1

I can confirm this for the 2018-05-01 Weekly for the Z3c too.

Interestingly, playing music is working when accessing the SD card via path "///_disk/Music", but fails when accessing it via the usual SD card path "/storage/SDCARDNUMBER/Music". :eek:

Therefore this bug seems to be related to issue #5 (accessing files on SD card) from my list in post #4 on the Z3c thread. Interestingly, playing music from SD card was working on the previous Weeklies, but I can't see a commit on the changelog which looks to have caused the problem in the new Weekly.

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION]: Please have a closer look into this issue. Thanks in advance! :)

Just a weird thing that happens whenever I flash a new build (either clean or dirty). An old version of the Sony Album app automatically gets installed as a system app.

Even if i wipe everything including data before flashing.

No idea how that happens :confused:

It's not a big deal as i can remove it using a system app remover, but am still curious.

Is it included in the rom by any chance?

NFC not working

Hi guys,

did anyone experience any trouble with NFC? I came from the CypherOS 5.3.1 and I can´t get NFC working with CarbonROM, both test and official builds. The external NFC readers doesn´t see the NFC chip in Z2 at all. When I flashed the backup of CypherOS ROM back to Z2 the NFC started work again. Thanks.

Try to clean flash stock firmware with flashtool and then flash the TWRP and rom again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] done123:
I just made another test. I wiped everything and flashed the latest version of Resurrection Remix Oreo and NFC started to work again. So I do not see the point go back to stock ROM when NFC works for me in RR and CypherOS Oreo ROMs. Or am I wrong?

For the Android pay both the read and write functionality of the nfc module is actively required

Our modules can read data however can't write. That's why Android pay doesn't works yet on our ROM
