[ROM] [7.1.2] [CARBONROM] M-ROM v2.3.0 [CLOSE THREAD]

Machao44(the original dev) has now created the XDA thread over here,head here instead of this link,use this thread only if you want to use the older versions of the ROMs or some fixes:
https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/rom-los-xperia-ui-z3c-t3654894

It has the stock Sony Nougat theme and apps found on Xperia XZ Premium,XZs,Xperia L1 and so on.
Also includes the stock Sony camera app with 4K 60FPS recording support,AR effect etc.
Usually the ROM itself is very fast and it is good as a daily driver.

You can download Xposed for this ROM as an addon,but not sure how stable it is.

Install guide:
NOTE: If you are coming from Concept ROM,it is NECESSARY to flash back to stock MM,or you will have a bootloop or the ROM will just fail to install.
1. Download the ROM from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ZgAhhJLI!PvIf-ZLY0Ihs6fY-8c6SBA (link from Machao44's thread)
2. Download SuperSU or Magisk,both do work(they are not included in ROM zip)
3. Download & install TWRP recovery found on the Lineage thread(if you don't know how to install go to @tomascus's thread and read the second post where the install guide is)
4. Install the zip and start Aroma
5. Select the apps and features you need
6. Once it's done,flash any additional zips and reboot.
NOTE 2: Recovery might get removed after you flash the ROM(if you flash unmodified versions of ROMs),so you need to re-flash through fastboot.

For custom kernels,as reported for now Kernel12 version 11 works fine with this ROM,if you want to try something else then try to flash it and report back if it works,since I believe that not all custom kernels for LineageOS do work.

If Wi-Fi has very weak signal or it doesn't work at all,download and flash this zip:

If you have issues with Bluetooth calling,flash this zip(thanks to @jimmy123322):

If you use M-ROM 1.2.0 or 1.2.5 you will have a brightness issue,to fix download the framework-res.apk from this post(thanks @wolfmannight):

Does this also mean that image enhancing (Settings -> Display) is working also? (if TA.img was "sideloaded" with PoC Tool od DK.ftf)
Is this that ROM where framework etc were modded that LOS reacts like Sony stock regarding all this DRM stuff?

To be honest,I don't really know,and I believe there is no image enhancing of any sort,I wasn't really able to reach the Settings to see that.

Oops,I uploaded by accident the wrong build to MEGA,the link won't work for 45 minutes,will keep you updated.

EDIT: You can now download the ROM and try to install it.

HUGE CHANGELOG:
-First of all,when installing the ROM do not press to install Google Play services,that actually corrupts everything,will mention in it in OP
-Google Play works fine
-To answer @fluffi444 image enhancing is actually there with Sony Sound mods,but Sony themes currently doesn't work
-The ROM doesn't come with any keyboard installed,so I will include Gboard inside the ROM
-I will debloat the ROM from chinese apps
New build will be up with screenshots in the end of the night.

EDIT: Build is now up! Download it and tell me how it runs!

First of all thank you for this ROM, planning to try some day soon
How is camera quality?
Do I need to flash stock image first or can I flash directly from lineageos?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Camera quality is like in stock ROM,and it doesn't really matter what you have before installing this ROM,but it only won't work if you are now running Concept ROM,if that is the case then yes you need to flash the stock image first

k13tas said:

Thank you for answering
So DRM keys are not needed with this ROM, right?

Nope

After Clean installation I get system ui crash cant use this rom..

SystemUI crash? Try to get a logcat and I'll look into it,while you can in that time try to re-download the ROM and try to install it again,and make sure you use TWRP from the link in the Lineage thread.

Would like it very much, but i cannot receive calls, can make phone calls though.
Second time i started fresh from stock, unlocked bootloader and fastboot flashed fotakernel twrp from lineage thread, same problem: when i call myself from another phone the screen turns white with xperia logo and the call ends.
Sorry i can't take logs (never tried actually)
Also when i reboot into recovery chinese twrp appears and i can switch only to english (needed to watch a youtube video to figure out which was the settings button). I'm quite sure it's not the one i installed (don't remember the number version).
Google play works fine: don't understand what you wrote in op about unchecking it. In the aroma you are asked to check what you don't want to be installed, and without it i wouldn't know how to do.
Well i hope to use this ROM in the future, Thank you for your efforts so far

I wrote in the OP that you don't install Play because after I checked that it always crashed and dissapeared after a reboot.
For chinese TWRP,I didn't even know it was on there lol,so that's I guess another reason to flash TWRP from the Lineage thread after you flash the ROM.
For phone calls I really can't do much without logs or anything,so would highly appreciate if you try to get me a logcat of some sort,there are many guides online.
As for future plans for this ROM,I am looking to re-build it and use the latest Lineage build as base ROM to remove as much bugs as possible.

The brightness on my screen is always high, I can't change it... The brightness is in automatic and the sensor works well

So when there is no automatic brightness enabled the brightness is always high? I couldn't really notice that the only reason being I use my phone on the highest screen brightness all the time.

How about the blouetooth and reboot bugs of the other llineageOS? If there aren't, this rom can help find this bugs!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Not sure,haven't had any random reboots tbh,even with the latest build I haven't had any random reboots nor any bluetooth issues,maybe those can apply for something else but I only use Bluetooth for connecting a Bluetooth speaker,headphones and occasionally transfering files and all of that worked.

Kriztian96 said:

When the automatic brightness is enabled or not, the brightness is always high, and when I use the slider for change the level of it, it doesn't change, it's always the same high brightness... I can't use it in the dark because it's so high

I'll look into it,thanks.
