Hi, currently I'm on RR 7.1.2 rom.

Do I need to flash the boot.img at first, or I can directly flash the rom?

Please advice.

Thnks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
No but you need to flash twrp on the link mentioned in OP

Remember to install The Rom and Gapps after one another because if you install the rom and reboot, then go to recovery then install Gapps then setup wizard force closes after u boot up.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mondor1979:
Follow all the steps.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xMasterbaitx:
for me at the new update,my z2 booting time is too long. I installed by fresh (flashing .291 rom,and doing everything but not solve this) but the 2017.11.11 rom is perfect. Issue only take at 2017.11.18 build. maybe any tips/tricks :)?

1. Wrong quote, OP's name is not "op".

2. If anything not working then a logcat is needed to debug.

Merhaba geç cevap verdiğim için üzgünüm. Neyse, sen flashtool'un yanlış sürümünü yüklemişsin. Doğru sürümünü XDA'da aratarak ya da Google'a flashtool yazınca çıkan flashtool'un kendi sitesinden indirebilirsin. Eğer Windows 8 ve üstü kullanıyorsan sürücüleri yüklemen biraz sıkıntı olabilir fakat Youtube'da sana yardımcı olacak rehber videolar bulabilirsin.

English:

Hello sorry for my late reply. Anyways you installed the wrıng flashtool. You can check XDA for flashtool or just google it and go to it's website. If you are using Windows 8 or above youneed a trick to get tge drivers properly running. There are tutorials on Youtube which can help.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
yes it seems they changed it but i think its more a bug as a feature

its not working i tested it but i use freeform mode (available over recents menu) for it which is a lot better then the picture in picture mode

but at all a bit more details in future would be helpfull
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Did dpi change setting disappeared from developer options??

And with the last build, pixel launcher the back and recent options button's are black (as supposed) and the home button is white, I think there is some overlay bug there.

Other than that, the ROM seems pretty smoother than ever and battery life improved a lot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dennnic93:
I seem to have lost root access after rom update yesterday. I recon, flashing super su again would solve this problem, as usual. Since this already happened, I wonder if I can use it as a benefit and flash magisk instead?

Tho, super su line in settings got me a bit worried. How to remove it completely? I can't access it through settings, it asks for root.

GPS Fix

Hello *all,

I have trouble to get a GPS-fix in the last Oreo Version. With Nougat before everything works fine. Apps I use are Google Maps and Locus Maps. Locus shows several Satellites but can't get a fix. Even magnetic compass is worse.

I always do a clean install (Wipe everything except SD-Card).

Thx

Hello friends. I want to use a carbon rom but carbon rom not have sony's camera and screen recorder etc. in it. How to install these application. I'm trying to install but an error(same name aplication) . Can ı install sony's aplications without firework and java files. Or an example based on xperia oreo rom for Xperia z2
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
we are working on it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
use opendatas camera port it works on oreo
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
A question... The updated official version (5.1 with nougat), have a fix for mic(or return to older configuration... Like 05/09/17 build) ? Because on nougat after October security patches, mic is completely destroyed. Disabling fluence is even worse ? And i wanna retry official carbon... But mic for me is essential. No problem for ok Google disabled... On z2 my priorities are calls and voice message actually.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] julienw5:
Hello,

I am on LineageOS 14.1 (Sirius), but right now my phone, restarts from time to time. That's why I'd like to try another rom, but I'm afraid that this rom is not stable, that there are problems of micro, networks or various bugs. What do you recommend ?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
In my opinion carbon rom >>>>>Los 14.1.

More update, stable and camera quality seems better.

But I advice you to stay on official at 05/09/2017, for mic issue later. I don't know they fix it.... But on oreo the situation is same of Los 14.1 and carbon before October security patches. Disabling fluence = don't use ok Google but mic great. With fluence activate you have bad mic but ok Google no issue for calls.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] julienw5:
Ok thank you I may wait for the next update of the rom oreo then, do you have any idea of the release of the next update?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] s555891:
<strike>GPS is not working for me. I can turn it on in settings and choose device only/high accuracy but I'm not getting my location in any app.</strike>

edit: I'm blind and didn't see the 5 posts up.

Did anyone find a nice dark substratum theme? I've tried swift dark but get errors when applying and it doesn't work except for the substratum app itself and the keyboard.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
No ETA. The next release is ready when devs are ready for next update and they fix other things.We, users, must wait and support devs for their hard work. If you want try oreo, try now. If you don't care for video, ok Google and good GPS for maps... Is perfect for other things. Or stay on nougat before October security patches and it is perfect. I must try latest official carbon, if they working on mic or they rolling back on configuration. I know they put all work only on oreo actually, so I don't know...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Not the youtube pip but the overall system pip which is located in recents menu
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Pip works perfectly with Google maps, at least for me it's the only app that worked.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I wanna advice that mic configuration on latest official carbon is reverted back on original. So disabling fluence like los 14.1, and you have good mic ;) enjoy.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Man_22:

Hi, i want to skip from RR 5.8.4 to Carbon. (Will be first time with Carbon) But I wonder, which version and release most stable. Nougat or Oreo, doesn't matter. I just want most stable and bugless version, thanks. I already asked Q&A section but i have no answer for now :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AzraelX:
Nougat one is the most stable version so far. Oreo is a test build yet. More bugs can be found in Oreo version. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] oguzbatu:
Hello! If you want to the most stable release then go with the Nougat. In Oreo there are some bugs like: video recording is unusable, some formats of sd cards don't work (this can be solved easily), CR rom customizations are missing (this isn't bug), auto screen brightnes is not working properly, etc.. But the wifi is better in Oreo. Anyways I think if you don't mind the video recording you can use the Oreo daily but if you want it just go with the Nougat.

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] How is it going about the video recording? Did you guys find any possible solutions?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Samir2298:
WiFi disconnects often on Oreo. This did not use to happen on nougat. Any solution?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I'm trying actually latest official carbon with november security patches. It seems more stable than Oreo one . Only bug (who have oreo and nougat) is mic. But like your 5.8.4 rr...disable fluence and goes well but don't use ok google or calls are mute. It isn't anymore like all nougat roms with october security patches, who mic is totally broken. Oreo needs more calibration in video and gps and other bugs who other people says. It is usable for daily use. No crashes in use, good battery ,excellent termal and smooth like hell. But ineeded,nougat one is the most stable.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sys01:
Use magisk and download "Android Mic Fix"

It solved the issue for me
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
That fixes ok Google muting mic on calls ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Little Snevil:
Nope. That mod only disable fluence.

Hi [emoji6]

Is there a way to have the dynamic bar status and navigation bar? And an option to resize the navigation bar?

Envoyé de mon Xperia Z2 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Dynamic bars is a default feature in Android 5.0+, so no custom ROMs needed to make it work.

Resize the nav bar, either look for the option in Carbon Fibres or modify your DPI.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] N.Y.Gazz:
So dynamic bar statute is not possible on this rom? Where can i edit dpi?

Envoyé de mon Xperia Z2 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
DSB is already possible in a certain extent, if you want the full feature so bad you should downgrade to 4.4 and use aospa.

Edit DPI via adb shell or edit build.prop, for more info please do click a few buttons on Google and look for it, thanks.

I have searched, but just saying 'the code is stable' doesn't mean anything, I asked about the differences meaning in features, and similar things, the FAQ just states that it the code is stable and the features are from either testing or stables, not mentioning any features, no comparison between android models (LOS/DirtyUnicorn, etc.)

Why you hasistate to even elaborate the differences?

Ok I recently came back to existenz mm rom after using carbon nougat/oreo for like 15 days. One thing I noticed is wifi range is much better on stock mm rom. I could not connect to my college wifi when I was on oreo because the router distance was longer so my phone could not detect signals but now after moving to mm I can connect to the wifi easily. Is there anything that can be done to improve signals on oreo? This problem used to exist on nougat too.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] oguzbatu:
Stock roms are developped to be most stable as possible. If you want the most features out of your device stay with the stock rom. Wi-Fi signal can be better but there are more important things to fix first before fixing Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi is ok for what it is for now.
