Well you can look what apps running on your phone and restrict the apps (in the specific app settings or system setttings) to avoid that your phone wakes on so often.

Or deactivate the cloud backup of the phone when you have GApps. That and the other apps for example FB, Instagram etc runs out the battery very fast because normally they check about every hour whether there is something new.

Personally i don't have the mentioned apps on my z3 and no GApps either. And i can't complain about the battery performance. I can reach the evening of the day without problems.

At the moment i still have about 60% and i charged my phone during the last night to 100%.

Edit:

I forgot to mention: Aside from built in battery saver mode of android you use when the feature "smart pixel" of Carbon Rom as last resort.

This feature deactivate Pixels on the screen to save energy. Of course the screen quality isn't so good than.

So i would use it as mentioned only as last resort. First i would check which apps run on your phone.

For all of you who look for an alternative kernel - this one works really great with our beloved carbon ROM: https://xdaforums.com/z3/development/kernel-syncedplus-custom-kernel-xperia-t3865815

It features different governors and voltage settings. Just use kernel adiutor or similar app to tweak thw settings...

Regardingr battery consumption: My battery shows still 67% after one day... Just deactivate background activity for some apps.

If your current firmware is .264 i think was enough to starting use this rom. What I've done are :

- Flash twrp from [MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION], please check on here or

- This twrp from [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION], install the rom using TWRP 2018-3-28 for Oreo then re-flash TWRP 2017-10-02 to install Gapps etc... The latest TWRP 2018-3-28 still have some issues.

Why you don't try and report back? Let's share your experience in here:fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] i still face off with whatsapp issue of incoming messages (although not often). I have to open the app to trigger update incoming messages. I am not sure it happened to others user or no, can you try to figure it out?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] gargamel72:
[MENTION=5103009]alfan.y[/MENTION]: It's the same with me. Whatsapp messages tend to come in very delayed or when I open the app.

I even use messaging, web browsing, social media, streaming and cloud services a lot over the day with default settings and have yet only to charge the phone during the night in the magnetic dock. Where it serves as clock and radio btw. So I think with only three hours runtime either the battery is nearly worn-out or there must be a serious problem with one or more apps or the system itself heavily draining the battery.

---------- Post added at 14:23 ---------- Previous post was at 13:50 ----------

No special issues with WhatsApp on my side. But indeed notifications generally don't always come in instantly and seem to be delayed more or less. Speaking of seconds or minutes, not hours. And only when I'm not actively using the phone. At least I haven't missed out anything yet or had to open an app to become aware of. So for me personally it's a good balance between performance and background activities resp. battery management. I never changed the default settings btw. I know this might not be much of a help, but installations, configurations vary widely, at least I cannot confirm a general problem.

Hello, I have problems with the instagram application, sometimes it does not open the camera of the app and I have to close all the recent windows to make it work.

Great ROM!

I come from Omni Rom. But this is even better. Installation worked out of the box within 5 minutes using TWRP 3.2.3-0 and Magisk 17.3.

Is it possible to get GPay working within this ROM? Tried Magisk Hide on GPay but it doesn't work out.

Got ctsProfile:false, but Netflix is avaible on PlayStore.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] strettoed:
AFAIK it cannot work because of NFC-HCE not being enabled in this ROM, see

Only got other Problems with Bluetooth after a time:

- Couldn't get full volume on a Bluetooth Speaker (even when Volume was set on full it was only about half as loud as it should be)

- Volume of Headset and Phone wasn't linked anymore

Could fix both temporary by unpair the devices and pair again

i am lost here --> Downgrade TWRP via fastboot to "twrp_leo_2017-10-02" (TWRP 3.1.1-3)

i've flashed successfully the rom. After that i cannot boot to bootloader and flash the old twrp becaus adb is not allowed in developer settings. :confused:

My last attemp was successfull :o
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] DolDrum:
I'd like to comment, it is not really needed to use the fastboot method.

The wizards of TWRP made TWRP able to flash .img files. All I did was flash the other TWRP .img in TWRP (select image) and reboot to bootloader.

With the upgraded bootloader, it means power off and power on to TWRP.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] santeria27:
You can flash Recovery with rashr tool it works
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] brkeejp:
Same, but i changed a one kernel value and it worked.

But this method not safe (cuz im not developer or i dont know much about android.. i found this method just a litle search)

goto "/sys/devices/virtual/input/input1/" folder and open "wakeup_gesture" file and change value to "1"

no need reboot that's all. but i think this value reset after reboot. or modify init.rc file if u do.

Bugs:

-DT2W not work (already noticed)

-Video record not worked (noticed)

-Instaling "safetynetfix" zip after "magisk" cause stuck sony logo.

-also have safetynet error without su or magisk.

-nfc payment not work.

-advanced restart not working.

-locking app on recent list not working.

-playing games or using some apps while charging cause charge stop. (or battery drain)

Working:

-4g,

-wifi,

-bluetooth,

-hotspot, (5ghz hotspot not tested)

-nfc,

-leds,

-call,

-messaging,

work perfectly.

Request:

I want ...

-see "Sony Apps Enabler".

-use Glance screen as screen saver.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
DT2W will be fixed for good next week. I messed up at the initial fix, my fault.

Video recording is WIP as acknowledged.

For Magisk I can't provide support, maybe some other users know how to fix that.

SafetyNet... The LineageOS wiki has a good article about that here https://www.lineageos.org/Safetynet/ we completely share their opinion on that topic, therefore you're on your own with that.

NFC Payment, shouldn't that be part of SafetyNet?

I'll take a look into advanced restart and the lock on recents thing.

As for gaming, could that be thermal throttling? charging is one of the first things that gets disabled when thermal throttling kicks in.

To the requests:

Sony Apps Enabler doesn't match the scope we're following with CarbonROM, and should stay an optional third party mod.

For Glance: That would be pretty much Ambient Display. However, thats not worth it on a TFT/LCD display. It's sane on OLED deviced as those actually shut off the black Pixels (therefore not cosuming energy). on LCD devices the background light would need to be all the time, resulting into an immersive battery drain.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] darjwx:
Unless its different on Sony's, magisk should be fine just alone without the need of a safety net fix zip. (Just trying to help, I don't own this device). Try flashing just magisk.

We from our side do as much as we can shipping enforcing and user in devices that are capable. We are not going to merge sultanxda patches or similar commits to "fix" safety net as Chris already explained before.

NFC payment depends in safety net.

About the game things, I think like Chris. Its probably a thermal throttle derived issue.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] brkeejp:
For DT2W; sound good. also this is alpha (or beta) build, no problem. ios 11.3 full a bug ;)

For video record; i chering u.

For Magisk & Safetynet; thx for inform.

For NFC payment; diffrent thing. My bank have custom app called "Maximum" and not affect from safetynet. i can use this app without error, i can activate nfc payment but, POS cant detect my phone.

For advanced restart, looks like TWRP's bug. latest version i cant use "boot recovery" option on TWRP menu. cause lag.

For Lock App; im looking forward.

For Sony Apps; bad the hear, a want use Sony's Album app :(

For Glance screen; thanks for inform

Also thanks this ROM.

Not stable but most of functions work perfectly. (and this is alpha (or beta) version.

I pulled todays weeklies from get.carbonrom.org, can't access the delta server atm because I'm not home, need to finish that tomorrow.

TL;DR: We merged some updated for bionic which were well tested. Thing is: We only tested them on arm64 devices. Turns out that those commits break the install process for 32 bit devices. How? Heck I don't know. I wasnt even aware of bionic being a part in the install process AT ALL. We havn't found the specific commit breaking it yet (will do that tomorrow when home, too), but as soon as we did we'll restart the weeklies for the 32 bit devices. Sorry for the issues, but honestly nobody was expecting that to be a potential issue (and my last Z3 build was the they they got merged, but i wasnt having them synced...)

It is best Rom ever. Congrats. Yet, I had echo problem when using loudspeaker, with new Rom release. People on the other end heard their echoing voices. I flashed magisk's android mic fix and echoing is gone, yet after some time from last system restart will pass (couple of hours) my microphone goes inactive. People can not hear me. I need to restart the system for mic activation. Could you fix this mic problem for good? The other problem is few apps not included in the Rom are updating data with sometimes big delay.

I unlocked the bootloader of my device Xperia Z3.

Now Bionz image processor and Bravia engine both aren't working, unfortunately I didn't make backup of Ta partition and therefor I can't restore DRM keys now so that these two engines could work.

Hello.

I have installed Magisk and third-party camera apps like Mi A1 camera doesn't working FC.

I have classic D6603 with Cr-6.1 december update.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] shaabash:
Can someone explain me step by step, how do I install it? I've already unlocked bootloader but I don't know what to do after that.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
So first download the actual CR zip for the z3 and place it on the sd card (remember the place).

Then you need twrp (as for every custom rom).

I use the twrp from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/z3/development/z3-twrp-2-8-7-0-d6603-t3273996

To install this twrp just follow the installation steps on this thread.

After that you boot into the twrp and choose 'install' and navigate to the CR zip file. Ready.

Optional: Flash Magisk for root access

Edit: i would strongly suggest to ensure that you are on newest stock firmware (i think it's Marshmellow) before you install twrp.

That avoid trouble with outdated bootloader (but in twrp thread the author mention it, too). I just want to avoid that you oversee it.

Edit 2: Take care which model number you have. As you can read in twrp thread the author only test the twrp on D6603. Should work on other z3 models too but he didn't test it.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
I'll create a new thread in the upcoming days, but for now this should suffice:

https://dl.myself5.de/z3/CarbonROM

SELinux is permissive and encryption is probably broken, also GPS seems a bit sketchy. Everything else works.

You definitely need to cleanflash as there are different signing keys compared to the official builds used.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you.

P.S: I wouldn't recommend using this with Gapps ATM, they seem to make the phone horribly slow. I am looking into that.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ed-cheko:

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Small update, the CARBON-CR-7.0-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-z3-20181225-1342 build now also works fine with GApps.

Therefore the only issues are GPS, SELinux and possibly Encryption.

Happy flashing.

EDIT: We found an issue with the camera where the camera is no longer working after you reboot. It only works on first boot. We're working on fixing it ATM.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
The CARBON-CR-7.0-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-z3-20181227-2215 build should have the camera issue sorted out. No other changes than that in comparision to the previous build.

Hi i can confirm that the crash from the camera went away (i'm just upgrade to the last unofficial CR 7.0 build).

But i notice that the camera by me only works when i start the app a second time. On the first try after Boot/Reboot i get a grey picture with the camera symbol. And that's it.

I don't know why. Mayby i it was a mistake to install the new build via overflash the old. Could that be the problem?

And one general question. I notice that the unofficial CR 7.0 builds don't have signature spoofing for MicroG anymore.

Is this only for the unofficial builds or do you guys drop the support for MicroG in Android 9 completly?

I suppose you have installed the ROM zip file before the opengapps one, right? Try to reboot into a new TWRP session. If the problem persists, perhaps the nano zip file is buggy. In this case, try the mini one, instead.
