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 the FAQ, which can be found on the carbonrom 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 the official 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.

HUGE Shoutout to @myself5 for all the help in porting this rom!
If you enjoy this rom why not Donate to support future releases

NOTICE:
It has been really fun porting and Lineage and Carbonrom top the Z5C, and it has been amazing to see you guys (The community) try it out for yourselves and make your own builds. Due to my Z5C being broke I have passed it on to a recycling company - meaning I can no longer test or update builds. Please do feel free to link your own builds in the comments (As long as they do not breach the rules of course )
Thanks for the support this year - and I want to thank those who are keeping their own builds up to date!

[beamdelta]

nzzane, great to see another ROM for our Z5c :good:
Any specific suzuran bugs? Would this classify as a daily driver?

 

[Raz0Rfail]

Are there some Screenshots of the ROM?

[venku95]

Anyone have tested that rom?

 

[THIETm]

I used carbonrom on my htc m7 Last year !!
Cool rom on my htc.

 

[emosis]

What's working and what's not working? Can someone post it??

 

[omxx]

WOW!!
so many thanks!Let us taste it.

 

[nzzane]

What's working and what's not working? Can someone post it??

Just fixing some small things up since the first release (which had some small bugs that stopped it installing)
It is a port based off the Z5 version, fingerprint works but can be buggy at times (don't quote me on this) camera can also be buggy but is usable

More to come as I make sure it is fit for release

Can I dowload this build now, or wait?

There is an audio file causing the rom to no longer boot, am looking into this with myself5 - hopefully be fixed tonight guys!
All fixed

 

[Lemming0815]

Is this one using the stock kernel and vendor blobs just as with the 7.x.x roms myself5 has done on the z5 thread?
How difficult would it be to integrate them? Apparently it really boosts camera performance and quality as well as calling volume...
Thanks, mate

 

[Berni-0815]

I can't find any suzuran(z5c)-specific stuff in this rom. Is this due to the issues in the repos?

So, Berni, wanna help?

 

[nzzane]

Once this gets released and is in working order I will be working with myself5 (more like asking him how to do it ) to get the stock blobs into this rom
He and the CarbonROM team are already trying to impliment stock blobs so it shouldn't be too hard

IF ANYONE wants to help out https://paste.myself5.de/hGO2cED9w4.rb this is the point at which the rom starts to no longer boot

This is MUCH to strange for me; sorry... (and for my bad english)

 

[Lemming0815]

Couldn't we just copy the z5 device tree from lineage repo and use the suzuran diffconfig script which is already included there?

 

[Berni-0815]

and use the suzuran diffconfig script which is already included there?

Where are those scripts? Sorry for this question, but I'm just doing my first steps in this materia...
