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. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

It's unbelievable this old friend could get Oreo! Thank you @noth3nd.

Here are some issues I encountered so far.

1) NfcNci service is crashed repeatedly at the background. (this commit seems to be relevant) I know the OP already mentioned NFC is not working, but I am afraid that having a keep crashing service might have negative impact to the battery life. Do you plan to fix NFC? I found this ROM can pass SafetyNet with Magisk, but no NFC implies no Google Pay ...

2) Notification dots is unavailable. It says "this feature is not available on this device". Was this expected?

First of all, thanks for sharing another great rom for our good old Tsubasa. I tried it yesterday, but i miss some features compared to LineageOs, expecially the screen unlock through the proximity sensor (handwave gesture) and the theme color manager (i'm italian, so probably i am mispelling the official names, but i hope it's understandable). I know i could add those features with third party apps, but i really can't because they would sucks more RAM, which is already too low for my daily usage.

Just a question:

do you notice those WiFiHAL/WiFiVendor errors on your build? They're repeating continuously in every Oreo rom and i guess they're causing some battery drain.

I get about 3 hours SoT with WiFi only and almost no standby on all Oreo roms, which is about 1 hour less compared to Nougat.

Keep up this good work, i would be glad to test upcoming updates. :good:

Also, is it possible to port to Xperia TX?

Yes, maybe, i will build some Oreo roms for TX too.
Will see then. :silly:

Don't ask me about these errors
Because i'm not real developer like @AdrianDC
i don't make any sources like he does. I just use his provided ones..
I'm pretty sure that u too could be able to build rom, it's nothing hard, but making sources/writing codes is much harder.
So, yes... I'm just like kid who wants to be like Messi Messi(AdrianDc), but i'm just kid, who is copying his moves/tricks..
