1. You must flash with Magisk with TWRP.

2. Install Magisk apk if you don't see it. Find it at Magisk TWRP zip.

3. When you turn on an app and it ask your permission root, you would open Magisk app to grant it.

hi there

any one tried to play pubg on last version of this rom

because it was still closed by it self on the old versions 😓
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] o_0mohammad0_o:
Yes, and there is no problem in the latest version
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zeinal3abedein:
thank you bro , i'll try it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zeinal3abedein:
The auto close is still existing for me on pubg mobile 😫
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] o_0mohammad0_o:
Does anyone have the latest version of Carbon 5.1 file?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] knofi69:
I've a problem with the 8.1 version... my Xperia Z2 - sirius - dosn´t hold the wifi alive... is this a bug?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Besonderss:
Try to install pico GApps
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Besonderss:
How to root?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] XPhenoxX:
Not sure how exactly it works with an old device like the Xperia Z2 but try this:

Download Magisk App 27.0 (Magisk Manager) Latest Version for Android

Download Magisk – the ultimate rooting solution by John Wu. Seamlessly manage root access, install mods, and unlock a world of customization.

magisk.me

Perhaps you need a legacy version of Magisk 🤷
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
I think I catch it. May not.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
No more weeklies?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ELDadda:
Can i install this rom only wiping on resurrection remix 7.1.2? And this is more stable than mine?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
No features added = no update.

TEST_BUILDS: Yes. Less stable;

WEEKLY: No, wipe please. More stable.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ELDadda:
Ye i'll wipe obv, i mean if i had to do it from flashtool or i can do it just from the recovery
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
The weekly updates are automatically compiled?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
From recovery will be enough.

Yup.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ELDadda:
Fine, thx man
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bifr0st:
Hi guys, one question, does anyone have problems with the mic ? i mean recording audio.

i got 2 inssues, when i was recording audio from whatsapp (voice note) the quality audio is very cheap and with too many no sound parts or interferences ... etc. with messenger happen the same thing....

the only think i noticed was, that this not happen with the recording audio from sony (Audio recorder by Sony from playstore)....

im the only one ? check this pls, for me ist very usefull voices notes from whatsapp, and need it ....

Also shazam didnt work..... i think by this recording audio inssue....

Aditional info: My phone rooted with magisk, obviosly without Xposed, and no more modifications, i did a fresh intalation exactly how its described in First post, the rom was working without any problem .... but recently noticed this inssue.... a Aditional thing is that the phone charges a bit slow ? maybe im the only one? but i dont care because i only charge in the night ...

thanks guys, hope this problem can be fixed soon, i really like this rom, it is very stable nougat rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
I had the same exact problem across 5 updates of this rom. But i guess it's fixed in the last one. Whatsapp now records clean. I did a clean install on the last build and cleaned the mic pores in the bottom of the phone.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Something i want to share

[IMG="oreo"]https://i.imgur.com/EPj56o2_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium[/IMG]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Good news. Even if nougat has many issues and bugs on z2 so can you say after developing 1 year (19.09.2018) can we expect much stable build than nougat ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
No one can guarantee, but we will try our best.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Actually 2018 year is last year for this phone for me so stable nougat should be enough at this point. I tried carbon rom, it's not bad and worth to try but still waiting for xposed. Did you try any xposed version is working on Carbon? I know it's unstable but YouTube and twitch adblock is saving my life.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Sorry for disappoint you but once we have moved forward to Oreo, we will no longer build Nougat.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mfauzirahman:
is oreo thread open now?

can't to test it... :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Don't you go on developing Carbon Rom Weeklies or you are talking about lineage ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
There is a magisk module for utube background playback and adblock and its working pretty fine.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
how about twtich adblock and x-insta ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Z2 isn't included on this week build?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
No idea about x-insta u need xposed exclusively for that. While for twitch adblock try adaway app and see if it works. If not I'm afraid i can't help u anymore. Do not reply pleass cz this subject isn't for this thread. If u want anythinh else pm me.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Closed alpha, sorry.

We are not into Lineage OS anymore, and Carbon ROM will move on to v6 once it's time and thus v5.1 will no longer be updated.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xMasterbaitx:
Waiting for test new rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Okay thanks for reply. Then we can say last update of Carbon tonight right? Because in today changelog some fixes about msm8974 which for snapdragon 801 ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] okij:
Not even with security patches?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mfauzirahman:
no need for that then.

just stay with current build and wait for oreo...:laugh:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Generally not until we push out Oreo will we stop Nougat builds.

Have you seen any people doing so by supporting multiple Android version?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shahid221:
Why weeklies have stopped since September 5?

Is this thread dead?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mfauzirahman:
please read previous post first.... it not dead yet.. :laugh:

it going to be better soon... just stay with current build
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
All carbon builds were updated until yesterday except Z2. Will you update this rom or it will be dead with old build?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Z2 is not the only one that hasn't got updated, problem solved.

If you are expecting the buildhost to compile updates to all supported device at once, then you should try build one for yourself.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
I don't know why you didn't say anything about the next update will come lately or never will come? So If you give an information to people about it, then they can flash last build instead of waiting less bugy build? That's the point. Updating all devices at once is a dream and Noone asks about it. If you are planning for one more update just say it. Otherwise people will wait for it. Dot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
WEEKLIES building is up to the buildhost, that's it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Ok thanks .
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jokerzz81:
Very good work, thanks to you developers,

Can I somehow record stereo audio?

Recording apps do not recognize stereo capability.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
still there's no way to install xposed on carbon rom ? i dont wanna magisk !!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] yenero:
Why don't you want to use magisk? It is works without a bug on my device. Just curious maybe there is something i don't know.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Anyone has a gps or location problem on last build? Even on previous builds? I can't get my location on google maps in all three modes( gps only, battery saving, and high accuracy).

Edit: Nevermind i fixed it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
i know it's working with out any bug but i'm using some xposed modules and dont wanna to lose it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bifr0st:
Thats my version, think is the last, but anyway the problem still...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
May i ask whats your problems ?

My device is fully Stable with no bugs
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
the problem m8 is we cant install xposed on this rom !!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Then wait for the official release :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
any way i'm waiting .. He Asking About The Problem :/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Xposed is unstable at the moment so please flash it with your luck. And as always, wait for official support.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
thx for ur answer .. iam waiting official :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hans_Werner:
For the Persons who have bad call quality.

I found out the reason.

Mic background noise reduction.

Try calling while screen is on - the mic is loud no issues but with annoing background noise.

Now hold your device like normal calling - display goes off - and the mic is set to another mode. No background noise but also strange microphone behavior.

Is there a chance that the phone operates all the time like screen is on?

Edit some build.prop lines?

Thanks'
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Last carbon build has august security updates. It's written in information table so I'm waiting for security patch of September. Will you release one build for it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Or... They will release oreo instead of a security patch [emoji276]

تم الإرسال من D6503 باستخدام Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
God knows how much stable oreo we will have and oreo doesn't have many important changes compare to nougat right? Some make ups and it's oreo?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
One thing sure is that Oreo won't come soon for you all and Nougat builds will continue.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Are you serious or just kidding ? sajhdgashjdgbashjd :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
I don't see any reason why the automated WEEKLY server will build Oreo for us, so it will keep doing its job on pushing new updates on Nougat while we smash the bugs behind the scene to make way for Oreo, which takes maybe an indefinite of time. So I suggest you either wait for the update that is pushed or sits there doing whatever you want.

Anyway, discussion relating to Oreo shall be halted for now and let this thread back on topic, [7.x.x][WEEKLIES] CarbonROM | cr-5.1 [sirius], thanks for all your cooperation!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] pspeppe:
Hello... this ROM is greatfull.

But i don't know if i can activate the "one hand mode"'. Can i do it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Swipe on your navigation bar should enable it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] V4LKyR:
Automated WEEKLY server is somehow still didn't build for more than 2 weeks now... :)

Anyway, we're still waiting.

Carbon ROM is the best ROM there is! :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Can everyone stop nagging about new upadtes. Thanks to u now oreo will take more time to come to us.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mondor1979:
Go fix Bluetooth on Oreo and it will be in no time.))
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
I'm sure u know that wasn't my point. See previous posts.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
Can i Install the rom by wiping everything from recovery and installing it rather than from flashtool and flashing stock ftf before installing. Im running lineage 14.1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
For WEEKLIES you have to clean install while you can dirty flash if you are going for those test builds.

Though, clean flash is always recommended.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] pspeppe:
I can't activate this display mode, i have searched the "one hand mode" inside the carbon setting too, but i don't find it.

Do you know if the DNC (Dynamic Noise Cancelling) works fine ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ELDadda:
What did you use to clean the mic's pores?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
The non sharp end of a needle and tissue.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] V4LKyR:
Hello!

Since it's been a long time since last weekly for Sirius, does this mean developers are focused on Oreo at the moment and no more Nougat versions will be build?

I'm asking because I've been waiting for a long time for a new CR Nougat build so I can fresh install and update my system. If not, I'll fresh install 05 SEP build.

Please kindly advise.

My regards.

What settings should I tweak in kernel adiutor to get 6hrs+ SoT? On stock settings I get 4.5hrs of SoT max. Battery has 5-6months.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Set CPU governor to ondemand and underclock both your CPU and GPU.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
My cpu keeps switching minimum frequencies between 300 and 1500 MHz by itself and when i put ondemand all cores function on the highest frequency set. Is this because of mpdecision?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Ondemand uses more power ;) so stay on interactive

If you want better battery life lower CPU input boost and sync frequencies in kernel auditor or disable CPU touch boost and sync freq
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] franataJr:
Can I flash this ROM from RR ROM ? Or must flash stock first?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Please refer to the 2nd search result top-down.

And please search before posting from now on.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
why are there no new weeklies?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xMasterbaitx:
Don't ask ETA/OTA. If the maintainer have a free time he can drop the new version of the rom. Be patient :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
If i hear it right there will become an update on Nougat. The maintainer works on oreon. He want use all of his time for oreon.

The status of oreon : it seems that will Boot up but camera and some little function doesnt work. Like marshmallow custom roms before one year.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] samad_asheq:
Wifi not show ssid for chose:-/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raminta:
It's a problem with region code of wifi and you cannot change it in carbon rom as i remember you can use RR rom it has the option

Or you can turn airplane mode on then reboot your phone after the phone booted up first connect to the wifi you want then turn airplane mode off

AND DON'T TURN OFF THE WIFI
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hariskh:
im not asking for ETA read it again. I wanted to know what caused this long stop.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] V4LKyR:
The development process somehow AVOIDS making new build for Z2. They make new builds for Z1, Z3, Z5, Z5C, many other phones, EVEN SAMSUNG S3 from year 1976!!!!

But no new builds for Z2... This is very interesting.

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------

And the new build arrived hahahaha :D Right after my message.

Oh well, these things happen... Thank you for your valuable efforts, dear Developers! :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dendis:
Finally a new build, thank you! Maybe there is a changelog ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
https://carbonrom.org/carbonrom/changelog/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dendis:
this changelog doesn`t say anything. I would like particulary for SIRIUS, not overall changes to all devices. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
There is no device specific changelog for WEEKLY.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
[MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION] is right, because the carbon machine automatically compiles the ROM, there's no device changelog.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Is there a new feature except CarbonDelta?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Come on, all you need to know is right there in the changelog!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Sorry bro, but it's hard to read whole thing :) I just wanna... Ok, sorry.

And should I look just to Sirius? Others?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
now support xposed or still no ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
Yes now official supported. Xposed work fine With nougat
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] EmilRahimzade:
Hello, i did not use that rom before, where can i read and see which setting does this Rom has(like Resurrection Remix s custom settings(battery,navigation bar buttins, etc.)) and view screenshots ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Shady_BlackSn0w:
You can ask google and view comparaison between both roms and give it a try if you like it.

Please don't spam this thread keep it clean.

why i cant use es file explorer to install apps ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fastantu47:
does viper4arise compatible with carbonrom?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Not enough permission given?

Yes.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
when i try to install any app cant click on install but file commander works fine dunno where is the problem

look at attachment
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Swipe to the right and read all the stuffs.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
still can't that problem only on es file explorer or any other explorer from play store but rom file manger and file commander is working with out any problem
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] The BLION Corp.:
Application crashes have decreased since latest flash !

That's quite surprising, I was used to restart application all the time...

(I added the Microsoft Launcher beta to have notification badges and some other features)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Mic problem is back. During call i need to stick the mic in my mouth for the other side to hear me. Can i fix this is in build prop or something?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Same thing happens here but on RR so I guess that's not exclusive to Carbon
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Hmm... I noticed some audio change on carbon changelog. Maybe the new configuration cause this issue
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] JO_JO_MANUEL:
I like to install this ROM, but can you anyone say. Bugs that now facing on this carbon ROM please...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Read the posts and acknowledge yourself, please. Otherwise please experience yourself, thanks.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] pbgapski:
beautiful upgrade over the air

congrats to all involved :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
is there any way to download update via pc becoz i tried like 10 times from my phone and stuck on 60% then download again
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Download on get.carbonrom.org
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Magdy Yassen:
download full rom and flash over the previous ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Same here as well as carbondelta download speed is limited to 15% of my max download speed idk why.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ravkojote:
Default home screen change?

Hey guys, just installed Carbon and loving it until now. First experience with Nougat and Carbon in general and there's one thing which drives me insane, how the hell do I change default home screen so it's not the one far to the left? I don't know if it's an issue with 7.0.1 or just Carbon so I've decided to write here, I've Googled my ass off and apparently there's supposed to be a small "house" on top of the screen after pinching you can press but there's absolutely nothing. I want my default screen to be the one in the middle and not the one to far left and this is driving me insane.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Install a 3rd party launcher, stock Launcher3 don't have this feature.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
The rom type now is release instead of weekly? That means this is the final release for nougat? Or the rom is much more stable?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Rom is now monthly, once the new security patches are out new build. At least I think so.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Rather the name change is due to the ability to OTA, which is not presented in WEEKLY.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
So. now we can install all upcoming updates via OTA?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Theoretically.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] The BLION Corp.:
I did the OTA update this week. It worked fine. Just had to reflash Supersu after the upgrade.

Another question : when I use the specific port to quick charge my phone, I can see I'm at 1800mA, 5V.

Is there a way to charge faster / quicker ? (I need more than 6 hours to get a full charge :( )
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Change your phone, it won't be save to go any place higher on a Z2 or a 801 SoC.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Lol u want more than 1800 i get 800 and it charges in 2-3 hrs
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
No custom kernel at this moment.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raminta:
[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] Hi

I have flashed the last stable build and i didn't find region code change setting for wifi

Can you please add it???

I think that was there in previous builds

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Samir2298:
This rom has the same bug of "Phone Idle" battery drain
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Could you add performance modes something like LOS 14.1?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Same for any devices that is above 7.0 (or even 6.0) without proper EAS implementation. Screenshot taken on my XZ stock 7.1.1.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
LineageOS is LOS, CarbonOS is COS. How they be relevant?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Isn't it unrelated with LOS? How can I add fast mode(not performance mode)?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
No you cannot. Not if you build LineageOS yourself or use the old ones in the old thread, but please bear in mind that no support will be given if you ran into any bugs using the old Lineage OS builds uploaded by us.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Could you write whats the difference(list of different features) between weeklies and beta builds?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Read the 6th FAQ listed in OP:mad:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
I read but there isn't a different features list :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
Read it again for now the unofficial build has an updated mobile data service which will come in next weekly

and i removed some Sony customations in kernel which could not be used in and custom Rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
No carbon never had it and will never have it

If you need it you need to build lineage

I deleted all builds and source

This is a General Problem on any custom Rom and not only for our device

But one thing you should think about your device is 2 years old and your battery too

There are enough apps where you can create your own power modes

If you want power set CPU gov to performance but don't write that your batterylife is bad
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Little Snevil:
I'm on LOS 14.1. I can install this ROM by wiping everything from recovery or I have to install stock ROM first?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
For weekly you have to full wipe, no need for test builds though, but still it is recommended.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] IsrElad:
Hi,

I want to try that rom but i must have magisk so i can hide root.

Can anyone confirm magisk is working?

Plus, is there any bug list?

Also, will be great to see some pictures of UI and features before installing

Thank you for keeping our devices alive!
