blog.carbonrom.org exists already :P Can't give any ETA on the Z3, even if I wanted to. There hasn't been much progress (basically none from our side) and Arian "only" fixed the LEDs. Camera is still a very big issue that we do not know yet how to tackle.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
Oh didn't know that.

Then you should update the home site from carbonrom with a link to the blog:)

When i oversaw it sry for my blindless:D

Bad news:(

But nevertheless thx for the info.

Can you then at least update the beta cr 7.0 monthly as in the past? Then the security patches are always up to date.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
It's on the todo list.

Was planned too. The last builds got delayed because of a lack of time and because I promised some highly annoying people on discord that if they keep on asking for an ETA I would delay it further and further. Will take care of that when I get back home next week

May I ask if the exFAT filesystem support has been fixed in the meanwhile? If not: Is it a bug that only affects the builds for the Shinano devices or does it affect other devices too?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
As far as I know it only affects shinano devices at this point, other devices work fine with the setup we have.

Bug/Weird Interaction: Adopted Storage not mounting and reporting weird sizes

So having used this ROM since it was first put up publicly, it's been pretty awesome. [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] you've done a great job.

One issue I've been having that I don't see reported here is Adopted Storage sometimes acting weirdly. It's pretty random when it happens to me, so most of the time I haven't been able to get a logcat of it happening to share, because I haven't been by my PC. It used to also be that when my SD card doesn't mount, something would crash after a minute or two of use and the phone would sit on a black (but powered on) screen, but that hasn't happened the last 2 times the card bugged out.

Either way, it seems that randomly the SD card will refuse to mount, and the phone will either need multiple reboots or to have the card taken out, then inserted when the phone is on (sometimes both, sometimes neither) to recognise it again. I've finally managed to grab a logcat of this happening, so will attach that and see if you can make any sense of it.

I've also noticed that my SD card's size is reported incorrectly when it's being used as internal (adopted) storage, showing as a 128GB card with 64GB used as "System". I have a 64GB Samsung EVO+ card (Class 10), and when it's used as Portable storage, it shows as 64GB. Might be a side effect of whatever's making it not mount.

Other than that, awesome ROM, and since I don't really use the camera on my phone, it's pretty much perfect for what I want. Cheers.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ashishsharawat:
After installing this rom it works great no lags ony issues are camera app stop working after coule of captures and also battery drain so crazyly by one full charge it works ony for 5hrs even on idle without use and in use it works for 2-3hrs ony my battery drain from 100% to 20% only in 2.5hrs of usage please fix this I try to search something but nothing found I even try to change kernal to elitekernal but after it installation phone is just stuck in boot loop!

Since I'm pretty done with this, I'll try to explain the problem once again and hope for someone helping me this time.

D6603 CarbonRom 7.0 XDASyncMaster Kernel (I've had this exact same problem on 6.1 too)

So I've got this problem on Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook.

What happens on Instagram: I open it up, scroll for a couple of seconds and as soon as I watch one video, the next ones won't load at all. Same thing for stories (videos), I can watch the first one (not all the times) but the next ones will only give me the first frame and get stuck on the damn loading circle.

Facebook: I'm able to watch like 4 or 5 videos in home, but the problem is the same, here it gets stuck showing the play button which is not tappable

WhatsApp: literally can't do anything with videos, I don't know about stories since I never use em, but everytime someone sends a video, I need to go in Sony Album to watch it.

Telegram is working without any problem.

In the log I opened Instagram and tried to load a story.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] submester:
Hi, my video recording works perfect to SD in HD 1080 with Footej camera app (while the foto shoot in the app = green screen) and your camera app works perfect for one single shoot ( video record = immediately error) then i kill the app and then it works again for another shoot

so i use 2 apps and it is fine

Big respect and thx for the ROM!!!

Hi,

I hope you have a nice weekend so far:)

I saw that the CR 6.1 build for the z3 got a update with the security patches of this month.

Have you in mind to update the CR 7.0 beta build, too?

Just as a little reminder for the case you forgot it.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Will be updated soonish. there's still a few things I need to work on beforehand.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] PioneerSeeker:
Can we install savoca kcal color app on this rom. I'm using an aftermarket display panel which colors are little bit odd than stock unit. Perhaps blue is dominating more than green and red and I was balancing them through one of stock roms' display option named white balance. Which isn't present into this custom os. Or suggest any other app like savoca kcal so that I could control the RGB balance and contrast of my screen because after unlocking the bootloader you know we lose the bionz image processer and x-reality engine which results in very ordinary view experience. And also you know the HD image processing and frame rate of this rom are at their very low level.

I tried to recover this by installing a mod named DavidRN-Adreno330-Mod-1.4v4.zip

Which you can find in one of XDA threads by searching.

But I think this made no special difference except minor improvement in text sharpness and may be in movie display..

Hello [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION],

Thank you for supporting this old device. It's amazing.

I know this is just beta, but I found that discharging during deep sleep is quite high. I'm running two z3 phones:

1. With carbon 5.1: 11% in 22h53m (~ 0.5%/h)

2. With this carbon 7 beta: 37% in 9h51m (~ 3.7%/h)

I wanted to point out that for pie I disabled digital well-being, but it changed nothing regarding discharging.

Thank you very much for the effort!!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] PioneerSeeker:
Mic problem I think it's related to Noise Cancellation function. Because if you download a mic testing app then the mic works fine during the test but when it comes to incoming call, mic only works if you plug a handsfree and then unplug it during the call and here we go now your phone's mic works fine during an incoming or outgoing call.

But for the next incoming or outgoing call you'll have to repeat the procedure after receiving the call (plug the handsfree and then unplug it from 3.5 mm headphone jack) now your phone's mic is working..... And you can talk to caller on phone's mic.

Why don't you remove the noise Cancellation function from main as standalone and add it in the call settings as a sub function.

It's Android Auto draining battery. Disable this app and you may get a good battery timing...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
I use nano gapps, so that means I dont have android auto preinstalled.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] PioneerSeeker:
So if you are not running with Android auto then what's your battery's standby status,

Are you getting good standby battery timing,

Me. Previous night I plugged the charger into phone at the time of sleeping (12 pm) and woke up at 3am inthe night and when I checked the charging status it was 97 percent, I unplugged the charger and once again slept and then woke up inthe morning at 11.00 am. And battery level was 64% without any usage it came down to 64 from 97

And now I'm planning to revert back to cr-6.1 again. Also mic doesn't work during incoming or outgoing voice calls.

I'll be waiting for cr7's stable version and then it'll be ok

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
Look here:

https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/

If your phone says "bootloader unlock allowed yes" the steps at the sony site should work.

And after the Unlocking you can install this rom via twrp.

If it says no you can't flash custom roms at all.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] jamaljmys:
Thank you for reply

It says no, so there is no unofficial way to unlock the bootloader?

New update with a bunch of updates will come later.

Should be pretty much ready to go official now.

ALSO fixed the issue that would not allow booting to the recovery via init_sony (the Press Volume when LED lights up thing) when Magisk 19 or higher is installed.

Fix is here:

https://review.carbonrom.org/c/CarbonROM/android_device_sony_common/+/9276

That fix has also been applied to cr-6.1.

9433dcd3494a511f875df534a89387ed CARBON-CR-7.0-OPAL-UNOFFICIAL-z3-20190521-1055.zip

New build contains plenty of fixes and should be the last build before we go official unless another issue appears.

Booting to recovery with Magisk 19.x is fixed too, otherwise there's fixes from [MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION], [MENTION=5688409]koron393[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5258151]drakonizer[/MENTION].

Hi to all. Sorry, can I ask - Flash the lastest carbon version on Z3 - CARBON-CR-7.0-OPAL-UNOFFICIAL-z3-20190521-1055.zip, everything go well, but I face with strange issue - when a call is received, a ring starts normal as volume, but after that goes down, and down... Is it happen to anybody, and is there a solution?

I have an issue with date and time. At the moment my device is updated with the last build + Magisk 19.2 and I

don't use it for everyday work. So there is no SIM and W-Lan is off.

Every time I boot the device

date is set to 2019-05-21

time ist set to 10:55 (plus timezone)

Fixing date/time setting via network or manually will only take effect until the next reboot. For me this seems to be a bug which results in setting the devices date/time according to the rom's build date/time.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Kap0:
Yes, rom is absolutely fantastic. Only issue I found is the sound problem as you said. It's like some kind of sound limiter applied after 2 seconds. It's not only on phone ring, it's same with playing music too and sound volume is too low.

Hi M5 I really love this ROM and want to update it (for the easier camera access end to get back my TWRP) but i'm a little bit stucked here.

How can i update the ROM? I have Magisk 19 and my TWRP is unreachable. I tried to reflash TWRP but I still can not boot into recovery( buttons /adb/fastboot same issue). I tried also to fastboot boot twrp.img, but only get black screen which respond with vibrating but nothing can be seen. Fastboot update.zip also fails with error missing android-version.txt Can you write me a hint for the update method?

Thanks in advance!!!

Regards, submester
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
As far as i know twrp (i use the version from nailyk) use the fota partition of the z3. So try to install the twrp again via this option:

fastboot flash FOTAKernel "filename"

Then you should able to boot into twrp and flash the zip file from this rom. I pretty sure that it isn't a good idea to overflash the boot.img from the rom with the twrp img.

And you should backup your apps etc with Titanium Backup because mayby you need to make a clean install (that depends on the rom version which you had until know).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] submester:
hi thanks for the tip, I have just flashed via fastboot FOTAKernel, it writes flashing-finish-ok, but still can not boot into recovery... LED goes yellow and then it reboots...

And you were right it was not a good idea to overwrite the boot.img (i tried it with the flashtool, with the boot.img of the new build of the ROM) i got a bootloop only and my root/magisk was also deleted. So I only won a half hour extra work to restore the phone to the same state as it was

any other ideas are welcome to get back twrp...

any other tips welcome...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
Did you check your bootloader version? In the twrp thread of nailyk it is said that a minimum version of the bootloader is necessary to get access to the fota installed twrp. Older bootloader versions can only boot to the boot partition but not to the fota partition. Mayby that's the problem.

In my case i was on latest stock Firmware (Marshmellow) before i installed the twrp.

That's the thread from nailyks twrp:

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

I hope that helps. Apart from that i don't have another idea at the moment.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] okij:
The problem is that Magisk 19.x breaks entering the recovery on certain Xperia devices. [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] already fixed this bug, so I guess that you are not using the latest 2019-05-21 build.

If you are on the latest bootloader (from stock .291 firmware), you can still enter TWRP by turning off the phone and then pressing Power and Vol-Down keys simultaneously until TWRP is started.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] submester:
I tried everything but this combination.... TWRP on, ROM updated, works fantastic. Although yesterday I updated Magisk to 19.3, this build now degraded it to 19.2.

Should I update or better not to? Anz experience on this?

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

Yes I had also MM before and the TWRP from Nailyk, but what i miss is that I had to use another key combo (see below).....

now it works fantastic, I'm only hasitating to upgrase Magisk to 19.3 or not...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] okij:
In terms of being able to enter TWRP, Magisk 19.3 should work well if you are on the latest ROM build. And since you already used Magisk 19.3 yesterday, you should be fine updating to 19.3 again.

If you are still unsure, you can make a TWRP backup before updating Magisk, so you revert back to your current installation if anything goes wrong.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] submester:
Hi all, everything seems to work smooth with the new build, but two things i want to report, maybe somebody else has them too and has a solution

1. Loudspeaker issue - everything(ringing, calls on loudspeaker, videochat sound like wattsapp, music player) what comes out from the speaker below starts on normal loudness and after one second it goes to very silent. Then if you kill the app or go to settings and set calls max and back its normal again. Its like an audio limitation goes on every time on the loudspeaker. There isnt any issue with the speaker above while calls.

2. Its a minor one, on tha camera app, i can not change sd card destination, on the otherhand it is fantaatic camera app, the best i ever had on xperia customROM. Thanks again!

Re- update was already done, if i have more time i will do a clean insrall. I use the latest magisk 19.3, can it be an issue with this? Somebody has the same experience?

You need the combination power button + volume down; not volume up.

And you must turn off your phone and hold the button for a few seconds until the twrp logo appears.

When i set a password and type the field "Encrypt Smartphone" the phone shows me for a moment the android "man" and then goes back to the home screen.

The phone remains unencrypted.

But for me it would be totally ok when this will be fixed during the weeklies once the phone goes official.

Due of the fact that the z3 is my backup/test phone i can live without this feature for a while.

Tried to install this on my boys' D6603, succeeded after all - but it's bootlooping :-/

OK, here's what I did:

flashed stock .291 MM ROM and installed TWRP 3.0.x as described HERE

booted into recovery

installed latest version (20190617) via sideload (TWRPs adb wasn't authorized - sideload doesn't check for that), OpenGapps (arm-9.0) and Magisk 19.3 (but omitting Magisk doesn't help)

upgraded TWRP to this version (because opengapps complained about a missing unzip binary and didn't install because of that)

wiped data, dalvik and cache

Now it boots up through bootanimation, but when setup screen appears it wouldn't react to screen touches and boots over after a few seconds of unresponsiveness - and gets pretty warm.

EDIT: same with MindTheGapps, latest release arm-9.0

Did you unlock your bootloader? You didn't mention it. If you didn't, this might be the reason why it's bootlooping. It's easy to unlock your bootloader. Just Google it and you'll find a lot of tutorials.
