[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Rumzie:
I finally caved in last night, unlocked my bootloader, and flashed this ROM (after backing up and restoring my TA partition using the instructions in j4nn's post in the XZ1c community). I started on stock bootloader-locked Android 8.0, updated to 9.0 through flash tool, downgraded back to 8.0, backed up my TA partition, unlocked my bootloader, and then restored my TA partition.

This ROM is great! I've spent plenty of time testing and using different ROMs for plenty of different devices, but this one in particular is very stable and fast. Though it's still not perfect, here are some of my premature notes on my experience with CarbonROM:

Stable smooth and fast all around. Haven't noticed any stutters or lagging whatsoever.

Camera(s) works fine all around, but the camera app needs some work. Snapchat takes most of my front camera images, and ithe quality has not changed from stock. None of the Google camera HDR ports work (unfortunately), but I have yet to find a non-HDR Google Camera that can use the full 19 MP from the back camera (or can at least change the aspect ratio to enable 19 MP).

VoLTE and WiFi calling are in the settings and are enabled, but I have no way of actually testing if they work.

Sound is great. All speakers work, and audio levels are identical to stock (though I did have issues with my music player BlackPlayer randomly stopping music playback. Was due to the app "listening to storage changes")

Fingerprint scanner is solid and almost feels more accurate (especially when using my left hand index finger to unlock). I was hoping the scanner would be constantly active without having to press the physical button, but that is not the case.

Battery life (although it's only been 48 hours) seems better than stock. I am getting 2 hours of screen on time before hitting 80%. Overnight battery drains is about 3% less through the night, compared to stock which was around 6-8 percent every night.

Settings/features need some polishing. Though some of my favorite ROM features/settings are present and working (skip track with volume button, long press power for torch, double tap to sleep), some are missing/broken (root management crashes settings when selected, no "kill app back button")

Great work on this ROM. Hopefully Sony goes out of their way to implement RAW support for their phones, but I won't hold my breath.

don'T i need to install new oem?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Myself5:
What do you think?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Sefyron:
Guys the rom work flawlessly, but when i make a phone call, there is no sound coming from the earpiece nor the caller hear me even in whatsapp and while video calling
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Manuel Lobos:
Try to reflash rom with any 47.1 firmware stock.

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] Hi, nice to see you working on this project too. Please, post some screenshots at thread start, its a must for users, they love it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] dragonfly119:
I've just downloaded the new ota (16-1-19),flashed it and then... Bootloop ??
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Myself5:
Could I sell that to you as a feature?

Jokes aside: I'll look into it, thanks for reporting. Is it showing the Sony logo forever or does the Carbon bootanimation show forever?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] dragonfly119:
I can see Carbon animation for 1 minute, and then the phone reboots into twrp recovery. I've tried to reflash the ota, but no changes.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Generic123.:
DRM Fix

How would I get things like the camera to work on this ROM? I've backed up my DRM keys from stock firmware, but I'm not really sure on how to restore them. I've tried the Jan Jan

DRM patch, but it doesn't seem to work. How do you guys get stuff like the camera to not output green?

Thanks.

EDIT: I should mention that I did solve the problem; I flashed stock Oreo firmware(using newflasher), restored my TA partition(you have to have it backed up first), and then flash CarbonROM, which fixed all of my issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Manuel Lobos:
With this update:CARBON Mon, 12 Nov 2018/Tue, 19 Feb 2019 , have bootloop in carbon animation, Try several methods to install it (clean install, cache, data, dalvink, system, and without cleans, with OTA previus version, firmwares 8.1, 8.0, and 9 (benelux, europe central, germany custom)...)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Sramana:
Your APN management is for carrier-locked devices. I couldn't configure it manually as i need (my carrier has various APN). You are only allowed to use as DUN type APN the predefined one, creating a new APN makes tethering to stop working.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 7hr08ik:
Yes.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GaM3RAndroidIOS:
Anyone currently using this ROM? Could you tell please if there's any bugs? And Is it stable for daily use?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] moxieEve:
Will this ROM update to 9.0? Or support full camera 2 api?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Myself5:
No known bugs and it's Daily Driver material.

I'm working on 9.0 but the Phone is doing it's very best to prevent me from doing so. Also I can't just magically add the Camera2 API to drivers that don't support it. Blame Sony for that.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GaM3RAndroidIOS:
Oops, I forgot to backup DRM key.... Hm anyone can help me with that?

This is such a big mistake, appreciate whoever help me.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] pattriccio:
you are at the point of no return. just use drm fix. or most people said it didnt affect the camera on pie. only drawback is you cant update your phone using OTA. but you can flash thru new flasher, etc.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GaM3RAndroidIOS:
I've decided to go back to stock pie cuz cam don't need drm, make ftf then flash with FlashTool and it's worked out pretty well also cam too.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] moxieEve:
Thanks for your hard work:). But is there a possibility to get camera 2 api support?

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Also the sonyaospteam had added camera 2 API support in their new source code.So will the development difficulty be reduced?

By Google translate, I'm sorry for my bad English:(
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Myself5:
I just said I if Sony doesn't have it, I can't just magically add it. The Sony Open Devices team has their own set of camera drivers that proved to be terrible compared to Stock. You can't just take the Camera2 API from those drivers and add them to stock either. Unless Sonys Stock ROM adds it, I can't either.

Anyone have a FREASH FUNCTIONAL Link for CARBON Rom for XZ1?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] saint6822:
I think that https://get.carbonrom.org is supposed to be back up tomorrow for more builds if I read an earlier post correctly. For now here is a link to 2352.

[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MurroFX:
Thanks dude! ? ?

Will try it right away! Is there something special to know? Flashing-instructions maybe? ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] saint6822:
Are you going from stock? Is your phone rooted? Do you have TWRP for the xz1 installed? If you familiar with custom ROMs than this is flashed with GAPPS from TWRP. If that sounds foreign to you that you have some reading to do :).
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MurroFX:
Yes, going from newest stock firm. Rooted. Twrp installed. Sounds good to gooo?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MurroFX:
Works perfectly!

Only one thing, Google play stop downloading app's after a while. Any idea?

Has there been released any New updated build?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] saint6822:
No updates that I am aware of. Play Store is still updating apps regularly for me. What GAPPS did you use?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MurroFX:
MindTheGapps...

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Can IT be because I Rooted IT?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] saint6822:
I'm rooted, I used open GAPPS. So I doubt it's because you rooted
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] control freak:
I just now recieved new update. It is not clear as to what are the supposed "improvements" are. Just that there are system stability, and updates to newest security patches. Attached screenshot below.

Waiting for community's opinion.

Anyone had success with this update on a M3 that is rooted and uses Greatslon's recovery image?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] trashcooky:
Huawei mediapad m3 8 wifi only

I have not seen any signs of this yet on OTA.

My M3 8" is wifi only, last update was to BTV-W09C100B303.

I have as far as I can tell the model intended for the UK market.

I will keep checking OTA and report back if an update shows up.

I notice from other posts that the OTA updates appear sporadic in different countries and different roll out dates.

Perhaps they are still rolling updates out depending on location - are you in the UK?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ludovicien:
BTV-W09C100B305 for the euro WiFi version has appeared on firmware finder. I haven't installed it yet but it contains security updates.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam10000:
Did you upgrade directly from BTV-W09C100B006?

Thanks.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] trashcooky:
No Sam10000, when I bought the tablet it was on BTV-W09C100B301.

This updated via OTA to W09C100B303 in Jan 2018

Then I got an OTA to W09C100B305 yesterday.

My M3 is for the UK market which is where I am.

Thanks for the ROM, I like the default font, some little problems, Google Camera FC, cannot installed apk downloaded from Carbon browser.

I was hoping this would happen.

Always been a Carbon fan... This is sweeeeeeet!!! :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
Nice to see CarbonROM become an official build on Shamu. Always been a Carbon fan, excellent work gang
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] aqatramiz:
I am getting this error

Cache, System and Data partitions are wiped.

Anyone experience the same problem

UPDATE: error gone after updating to twrp-3.2.1-0-shamu.img
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] qwei:
Works great no Problem so far....good job.

Using opengapps stock.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigbaluka:
Anyone tried Substratum yet???
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
does the latest build have black ui style not dark i need black ui
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
rootless Substratum is fully supported. Flip the switch for third party theming in Carbon Fibers -> Privacy/Security and install Substratum from the Playstore.

Not yet but you could use Substratum for that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mahir555:
great rom .. hope it will add more customizations in the coming updates.

I couldn't find trusted face option in smart lock.. any help?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
Make sure the GApps you used include Trusted Face packages. MindTheGapps for example doesn't.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mahir555:
oh i see ! thank you so much.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigbaluka:
Thanks man:good: I tried it right after I posted and everything went perfect. I'm theming my life away with Substratum. Getting ready to install the latest update. I usually uninstall all overlays before I update system and then reinstall them after... Could be paranoid but it seems to work better that way.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigbaluka:
Weirdness With Substratum

After applying themes with Substratum I noticed a new menu item called "Device theme", automagically appeared in Settings>Display>Advanced at the bottom right below "Tap to wake". Also Substratum had a major malfunction that the applied overlays didn't show up in Overlay Manager and could not be uninstalled unless I used the rescue zip in TWRP (apparently this is a known issue with Substratum 953). Running Substratum rooted seemed to help, also running Substratum 960 (not released yet). See screenshots for proof of weirdness.

PS This is not a complaint, just sharing experience & observation.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] starlord143:
how's the battery life of this rom ? please share screenshots if possible..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] HueyT:
Latest Carbon forces encryption on me :(

Fed-Patch needed for me
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] qwei:
Battery live, there is nothing to worry about ...... you can see how many posts this thread got , happy people are quiet.

It seem like this Rom killed all the bugs I head from day one I bought the Nexus 6, that was in April 15.

Amazing. :good:

I keep on looking if I find anything wrong. ... so far nothing. :cool:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigbaluka:
Probably a stupid question but... Is there a difference between CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-shamu-20180411-1750.zip (on get.carbonrom.org) & CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-shamu-20180410-0531.zip (this weeks OTA)???
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
just a small one. Yesterdays build doesn't flash nor boot on arm32 devices. They were caused by a faulty bionic commit (that, to our regret, only got tested on 64bit devices). We fixed that today and rerolled the builds for all arm32 devices.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigbaluka:
Small one… I guess it's a good thing I haven't had time to flash it yet. LOL ? Carbon 6.1 has been perfect for me since the first official release and now that I missed that little snag it will continue to be perfect. ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tracker01:
i am not seeing this advance option.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bdcbdc:
Changelog link?

Hi all, Thanks for this great Rom! It works very well without any issues on my german Nexus 6.

Is there any possibility to see the changelog? The link in the 1st post is broken...

Thank you and regards

Awesome ROM!!!

one issue came across

Android Auto is not working for me

when i plugged the phone into Honda Accord 2018

it says " device is not supported"

i have tried different cables, USB debugging mode and updated to latest Android Auto.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ra5ta69:
wont get past setup at the start i used mind the gapps and the correct twrp. because it enforces encryption i cant get back into reinstall a different rom. is there an easier way to remove encryption than using adb to wipe the drive?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigbaluka:
I don't know if it's easier but you could use TWRP to Format Data and then install a ROM that does not enforce encryption.:good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] head_banger:
Or just flash this rom then flash fed patcher zip straight afterwards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ra5ta69:
Twrp can't mount internal storage so can't use it to format, fed patcher would have been a good idea if I had known the ROM forced encryption. "Maybe that should be in the description" I used fast boot and ADB to wipe and installed a different ROM . Thanks for the reply
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
TWRP has issues with encryption on 8.1 devices, indeed. Plenty of devs are working on that.

Forceencryption should be a generic standard. The device is using Force Encryption in Stock, thus it should on custom ROMs too. There is absolutely no reason to NOT use Force Encryption anyways.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ra5ta69:
The fact you cant access the drive from recovery is reason enough. I don't see the point in it unless you have something to hide. I prefer not to encrypt it affects the performance of the device
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] webdroidmt:
With all due respect, I disagree. I'm not going to discuss the pros and cons of encrypt vs. no encrypt, simply put it should be the choice of the user. Currently, your rom and I believe only one or two others out of the many, many excellent roms available for Shamu use force encryption. Even official Lineage, which has always force encrypted has changed to encryptable.

Encryption doesn't have to be forced. If your fstab is set to encryptable, as opposed to force-encrypt, those that are already encrypted will stay encrypted. Those that may later want to encrypt can do so. Force-encrypted roms are causing issues for many users, especially when they are caught by surprise and can't "fix" it before first boot. If you want your rom to stay forced that is your prerogative but you should clearly post it in your OP.

For myself, I check every rom that I might possibly flash in Android Image Kitchen by [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] and if necessary, edit the fstab to encryptable with Notepad++ and I'm good to go.

I and I'm sure many others appreciate the efforts of Carbon team but I just had to give my 2 cents on this. Thanks.

new image CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-shamu-20180423-2351 crashing on me.

try to flash the fresh install and dirty flash both time it will stuck on boot logo. with micro open gapps newest one and one from the 4/30.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigbaluka:
Now that sounds easier... :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dlbarron:
I just downloaded this week's file and when I press FLASH I get "Failed to setup flash. Clean cache and retry"

I went into TWRP and cleared the cache, then rebooted, but it's still giving me the same message.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] webdroidmt:
Props to [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] and Team Carbon. Just checked fstab in the boot image and the rom is no longer force encrypted but encryptable. Thanks!

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tracker01:
This build is very stable...Awesome work.

One future request please add minimal Themeing support.

Thanks for the Awesome Room.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
Minimal theming support? Like a builtin theme engine? We're working on that already.

Till then, keep in mind Substratum rootless is fully supported, all you need is to flip the switch in CF -> Security -> Third Party themes ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ipunkdroid:
This is the best rom for my shamu. Thank you very much for the carbon team. Hope you add Google Sans font in the next update
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ajaynsurana:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AsureDawn:
Working great here, thanks for the hard work guys!

Downloading the 5/22/18 weekly now—can't wait to see what's new. ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] matchesmalonr:
is there an option to enable an adaptive brightness toggle next to the brightness slider in the quick settings panel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] qwei:
Is there any update issues known?

My phone want to download the update from 12June18, it seems like there is nothing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
There is an issue with an outdated SSL Cert on one of our servers which would cause that issue. we're working on fixing it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NPGuard:
Awesome! The ROM is almost perfect for me. Only missing the ability to arrange the navigation bar buttons (hate the right one to be the recents and not the back button). Other than that, great work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] agentqx2:
wifi calling

I am on google fi, since I switched to this rom wificalling no longer works.

Is anyone else having this issue?

****Update****

Tried wiping and installing fresh carbon rom multiple times with no gapps, mindtheapps, and opengapps.

Wifi calling would never work. Ended up installing NitrogenOS with opengapps and wificalling works again.
