[7.x.x][WEEKLIES] CarbonROM | cr-5.1 [z3c]

[Myself5]

Who's back? We're back.​

CarbonROM is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.

Please feel free to look, build, and use our code at CarbonROM's GitHub... and at CarbonROM Gerrit.

Disclaimer:
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.

Support:
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:

1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ
3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

Remember, every penny you send to us goes right back into the rom. It's used for hardware, server costs, etc - all the things that help us make Carbon better with every release. Your support means the world to us! If you've enjoyed Carbon, please consider a donation toward this goal. Thank you, and we hope you continue to enjoy Carbon!

First! Yay! Question1: Is the camera working?
Question 2: Is there VOLTE?
And a tip: Please add a list of features working and not working
BTW @Myself5 , great work on the kernel
Edit: Error 7 in TWRP, editing updater-script and trying again.
Edit 2: Removed getprop commands. no error 7. extracting system right now
Edit 3(Final): Rom boots up. Network working. Connects to LTE. Wifi working. Very smooth.
But camera doesnt work. Once you get it working, i will be back

 

[Amy07i]

Great job! but camera doesn't work and the phone isn't sleep(cpu is stilll running when screen is off). Sorry for my English

 

[Th3fishu]

Very nice! First official 7.1.1 ROM There is also one more bug, when I tried to launch a torch from a quick settings the phone rebooted itself.

 

[Barua]

I will definitely use this rom if sony improves aosp camera with new blobs.

Feature List is WIP. Will be delivered later on this week.
There just was no time to do this this morning 4AM, jenkins just took up too much time
Q2: Never tested that, my SIM doesn't support it, neither is there LTE coverage for it here. Would be cool if you could try and report back.

Error7: You probably had a recovery that was using "z3c" as the device name, I went for the real Sony codename (aries). Might not have been the best idea, as it was already misstaken as a Xiaomi Mi2 here https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5ldrav/carbon_rom_android_711_nightlies_out_for_xiaomi/

Regarding cam: this phone is going to kill me. On my testbuild I did yesterday cam was working flawlessly...
I'll review the weekly and see if I can upload a new one.


Also, is anyone here experiencing any NFC issues? Its working fine on my Z3C, but @ronin86 keeps on having issues with it with it.

Thanks for the reply! I haven't tried NFC, switched back to my ROM. I was just trying out new ROMs. Great job on the ROM btw, apart from camera, the ROM is pretty stable. I didn't want to switch, but camera is a deal breaker for me.
I would love to switch to 7.1.1. Maybe you might want to consider switching the bootanim... its kinda choppy

Torch was greyed out for me, I couldn't turn it on.

 

[Dinkec27]

Does this ROM work with MultiROM?

 

[Rhonin86]

First of all a

REAL BIG THX

to @Myself5 for all his engagement and calmness while the developing time....

Concerning NFC : with the last prerelease Version i decided to flash first the ROM, then directly without booting newest OpenGapps nano and SuperSU 2.79 - And after booting the miracle happens - NFC switch appears and keeps static - and it reacts to a NFC chip by opening the related website...

I also encountered a permanent wakelock maybe related to charging and not rebooting afterward .... i have to check

Cam was working in the prerelease version

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you

how to install???

 

[Th3fishu]

Torch was greyed out for me, I couldn't turn it on.

Ikr, but when I pressed it to see if it's working my phone rebooted itself.

EDIT: There is also one more bug, related to phone calls. I can hear person which is talking to me clearly, but the person to which I'm talking hear something like (echo of my voice?). That's the only problem in term of phone calls, because I didn't experienced reboots during phone calls, and it appears that the volume is changing

 

[Rhonin86]

@hmnt

You need an unlocked bootloader - the newest working recovery (TWRP) - and Open Gapps (or similar )

Put the flashable *zips on sd-card (doesn't matter if intern or extern) Enter Recovery - i recommend a factory reset - then flash the rom and afterwards Open Gapps.


Cheers

Camera app still doesn't launch on latest build :/

 

[Dinkec27]

Camera app still doesn't launch on latest build :/

For me camera works but it is very blurry and in not very good lightened rooms there is no light at all just black everywhere

 

[mcgi5sr2]

@Myself5 are the audio routes sorted so in call volume is changeable now?

 

[markurt30]

for now a big thank you!!!

consider to write on the top that the unlocked bootloader is necessary. for people don't know it could be good. sorry for my english!
i'll try to support in an economic way too, if possible.

 

[rodrigo granemann]

It's good that you came back haha.

 

[mises1881]

How to enable root (if ROM is rooted)?

 

[Rhonin86]

How to enable root (if ROM is rooted)?

Yes you have to flash SuperSU2.79 . zip for example.... Afterwards you can activate SuperSU via settings

Cheers

I really liked using CarbonROM on my previous phones. With SLiMM now dead it's nice to see a good alternative for the z3c. I thought development on the z3c was dying. Thank you for bringing Nougat to this phone. I was really close to getting a new one. Not many options for a compact SD801 or higher. Dislike large phones. Was considering a OnePlus 3T only because I can put my work sim in with my personal sim.
