Install
As the build of 11/05 had a broken recovery the install instructions above may not work, depending on whether you have flashed a different boot.img to the one in the zip.
If you have already flash a different kernel/recovery over build 11 (11th may) then you don't need to follow the instructions below
Download the new build (#12) and copy to the ZU
Open the D/Ld ROM on a PC and extract the boot.img file from the zip and save
Power off the ZU and connect to the PC while holding the Vol. Up Key to enter fastboot
Open flashtool (or use adb/fastboot) and flash the boot.img, should take about 2 sec
Reboot into recovery
Flash ROM as normal, Wipe as you see fit.
Sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused

removed as unneeded

Kernels
Different kernels for different users:
Carbon DT2W 4.4.4: [07-07-2014] This is a kernel that has @reaper61616's Double Tap to Wake incorporated into it. It may work better without two screen protectors on (after-market and ASF), please post your thoughts on how well it works.Please thank reaper in his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692552
DT2W is enabled by default:
Code:
Disable DT2W:
In terminal write: su -c "echo 0 > /sys/android_dt2w/dt2w_active"
After reboot DT2W will be activated again. If you want to make it disabled by default add the above init.d script!
GPL'd source: https://github.com/BlueEther/android_kernel_sony_msm8974/tree/dt2w
CM 11 kernel - no dt2w
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7253
Pimped Kernel: This kernel is a port of the Z1's Pimped Kernel and has many features including CPU/GPU OC/UC, hundruds of governors etc and is built with many optimisations http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730353
Slim Kernel: This kernel has been built by @dbolivar and uses the Linaro toolchain, SlimKats kernel, and optimisations (-O2, -mcpu, -mtune etc.). Please See his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698146
Default CM11 - From build 15: [31-05-2014] This kernel my fork of CM11's main branch and is the one that is normally in the full Carbon kk zip. With DT2W.

any graphics glitches, like the Sony boot logo flashing up? I'm wonder if some of the issues I had were from the dirty flash. I'll re-flash when my phone is recharged and do some testing.

no Sony boot logo. It happens when having too many (possibly duplicate) xposed modules activated (noticed that on liquid too) but that is a separate issue (and i should not have the modules set up that way anyway)

Works great so far ...
Thanks bro :thumbup:

---

i tried installing the zip using both recoveries, but they both insist my device is honami while it clearly shows under settings that mine is C6802
is there something wrong with the update script?
Thanks in advance:silly:
P.S.: i tried installing it on 136 with unlocked BL

---

As long as the backup is from 290 or 136 based ftf/ROM then no problems. The only issue is going down to a 4.2 ROM/ftf

Bugs list.
Well i haven't seen anyone share the same problems as me, but i would i like to share some of the bugs i have encountered, just in case you guys can solve them.
Bugs list:
Whatsapp and Instagram does not work on data.
Camera performance is awful imo compared to stock sony.
Asphalt 8 crashes before a race starts. Not when the game itself starts but right before a race.
OK this may not be a bug but i cant seem to get any notifcation sound for anything no matter what setting i use. The only sound coming out of my phone is when someone calls me or when I play music out loud. Nothing for messages, whatsapp(on WiFi) or twitter.
Occasional graphical glitch and unstable screen brightness
Slight stuttering occasionally(not much of an issue for me but its there nonetheless)
If you guys know how to solve, please let me know.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm not a ROM developer but I'll do what I can ...
Instagram works fine here over 3G
Camera performance? photo quality? or speed? There has been issues with the speed of the camera starting and some FC on some of the 4.4 ROMs but they look to be gone as of now as the camera is functioning as I would expect here: the carbon one, a better camera and the paid FV-5 all are working well
Not going to install games to test them
Sound for notifications is working here
I do get the 'Sony' logo flash up occasionally when the screen does a full redraw - I've seen that in several ROMs and I think in Stock .136 so it's probably a driver issue
The screen brightness is stable, but looks to take a few seconds sometimes to change to lighting conditions
I cant say I've seen any slowdown or stutter as of yet
Did you wipe the Data partition and both caches when you installed?

I'm talking about photo quality.
In my case for Instagram, no matter how many times i try to refresh the feed, it just says "Couldn't refresh feed"
No matter what settings i use, i get nothing when i receive a message or anything.
Anyways, i believe i did wipe cache and dalvik cache.

format data as well (could be named factory reset depending on recovery)?
You will lose apps and settings but does make for a much more stable ROM

Blueether..one thing and this is general to all kitkat 4.4 roms for togari..am experiencing every so often (tried carbon, liquid etc) after some extended use and sometimes even limited use that all of a sudden the caller at the other end (or receiver at other end) of a phone call will not be able to hear my voice (fresh clean installs etc..took out any call recording etc programs or xposed mods-not that they work anyway on 4.4). This is maddening. While there is great functionality in the 4.4 aosp/kp etc builds this inconsistency is pretty disconcerting (like I said, it starts doing this after some extended usage sometiems with limited usage like a nandroid restore this morning-so pretty random but then does not go away even with reboots etc until I do another fresh install). I did not experience anything like this on the 4.3 builds (stock or de-odexed stock). Am going back reluctantly to the 4.3 (136) saved nandroid. Think maybe official 4.4 needs to come for this device.
