This is a call out to all existing and future developers of Xperia MDPI Devices.
For about a month now there is an app called Update Me Smartphone, which basically gives OTA update functionality for our Custom Roms.
From 01/05/2012 the developer of this app has given it a very interesting feature. You can view all Roms compatible with the Update Me Smartphone application. Even though you get a list a bunch of irrelevant devices, I suppose if we all "help" him with our suggestions he can make an application that will be on par with the Rom Manager app for devices that are fully supported by CWM.
To make this as simple as possible....
User "A" wants to download a new Rom for his Xperia MDPI Device. He has already downloaded and flashed a custom kernel (whether this is a Stock Kernel, or a CM kernel), then proceeds to download the app, install it and browse any compatible Rom's with his device... From then on his device will stay updated, through the Update Me application providing OTA updates of the Rom he has installed. If he wished to download another rom (compatible with the kernel he has - there are 3 Different Kernels AFAIK: GB CM, ICS CM, GB-ICS Stock Sony Kernel) he will just proceed to download the latest version of the rom he has selected straight to his device. No need to download to your computer, then connect the device, then copy it, then flash it. If you have the compatible kernel already installed, then its easy as pie.
Please let me know of your thoughts on this...
Edit: Link to the application's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590170
Edit 2: Apart from Rom's we can also implement various mods, tweaks, fixes, etc for our devices. Even though that would be extremely hard, due to the fact that all these files need to be stored in a direct download location like Dropbox, its is a viable option.
OMG I love the idea, that would be awesome!!
It's very interesting, thanks a lot for the info I will try it!
Some modification: In GB we have 3 different kernel (Stock Based, CM Based, MIUI Based [not released yet]). In ICS we don't have Stock based to Xperia MDPI, because Sony don't released yet the stock for us. So we have CM9 based, AOSP based (it's work with CM9 ROMs btw), and ported Stock based.
Some another notice: I saw a lot of thread (not only in this forum), but sooo many people trying to make ROMs. It's not a problem, but some guy don't know some full minimum things... So who will help this guys to add this app to their ROMs?
Are you using a different Kernel for the Sony ICS rom port? I mean the Ramdisk is the same size and you're using the same zImage from a stock GB rom correct?
Well nobody is forced to do this. All we have to do is provide the app developer a link with the update_me_check.xml so that he will sort of add a link for that in the application.
By the way, i now got my goo.im account, and this have own OTA app. I will try it, and I will report.
But I know, this is not only OTA app... Hmm... I need to think in it
So the only developer checking the thread is Expeacer?
Ok...

I also read quite a lot of topics, but I don't respond in every topic.
Dear all,
I have a few beginner's questions and tried to search for answers but what I found did not quite help. I am looking for an alternative ROM for my neo V that does not call home, no matter where that is. The one ROM that is normally recommended is CM as it is open source. But I saw MIUI and I liked what I saw, so I have a few questions:
To which extent is MIUI open source? Can you actually compile it yourself and get the same ROM that's distributed in binary form?
There seem to be apps to replace Play Store and other normally Google-provided services. Is it possible to remove them?
What's you view on MIUI privacy?
Cheers,
Ben

MIUI is not open source
you can remove the apps with any file explorer with root access
privacy is a big issue in android and android based roms(MIUI)
other than that there are several other reasons also due to which i don't trust MIUI
and i don't like mentioning it in the forum as it can be offensive for some users and i don't want to be banned from xda

Thanks for the insight. Guess I'll stay on CM then. Probably the best option.
To avoid overflowing the CarbonRom Thread, bug reports, discussion of the ROM from now on shall take place here. Thank for your cooperation and happy flashing.

I'm wondering it too. Seems Carbon has not massive development last time, according to it's changelog.
UPDATE:
@rcstar6696,
LOS started to push Oreo, don't you think LOS development could continue? Maybe it wouldn't take much efforts, but we could enjoy most popular after-market ROM on our device. I think it deserves it
What do you think?

Hey
If i had more time i would do it but i can't maintain 4 devices with more then one rom. I build carbon for z2 ,z2 tablet, z3 and mi6. And another thing is lineage has a lot of privacy Restriktions which are very hard to get it ok in all points.
So i know a lot of guys want lineage but i simply can't provide it due the lack of time. Last thing is i'm carbon maintainer for a long time and don't want to change it as the guys there are really good.

Ok, thank you for all your efforts anyway!
Just to make it clear - what "privacy Restrictions" do you mean? Is it Privacy Guard or what?

Restrictions for maintain a device officially like answer every message in less Then 24 h and the device needs to have no features which are not present on the stock Rom of the device
Oh, I see.. Didn't know that
Carbon CR 6.1 Error 7
Hi,
thanks a lot for doing this work - keeping Xperia Tablets still "alive"
I just tried to install the mentioned carbon ROM (castor version) on my SGP 521 tablet but the installtion process failed with error 7
now I found some information about modifying the updater script but I feel a little bit uncomfortable in doing it without confirmation by whom mdeveloped that ROM
Could you please indicate the right work around
Thanks
great to see this still getting updates, whoever maintains it, thanks for the great work! this is the only reason my tablet is still in use!

No logs, no detailed descriptions, no support. I've asked for someone to test the build on the DualSIM variant a few days ago. You were among those who answered but didn't provide any feedback. So i went ahead and released a version that is tested on the SingleSIM Variant and now there's 4 people complaining about DualSIM support?
less than 12 Hours of creating this thread I already regret touching Sony devices again...
Also, did you really have to quote all of the OP...?

It was 3 days ago and all you ask was how did it work regarding the dual sim, in your other thread, but with all do respect not to many are willing to or for that matter going to down grade to Android 8 , I guess that's the last version to test something that is a bit vague in detail.. so that alone pretty much kill your lack of feedback..
Now take a second and look at where most of your so called issues and questions are coming from ..our newer members due to many a lack of details on how to flash, which gapps to use ect.
which to be honest should be in the op but mainly their lack of experience and an allergic reaction to the search button..
Sony may have it's faults and nobody here twisted your are to release the rom but your lack of information is more than likely the reason for half ass answers and or problems.

Your post is an in depth explanation of what is wrong with the Sony community. The OP design is the exact same used on ALL CarbonROM XDA Threads, yet the Xperia XZ Premium and XZ1 community are the ONLY people complaining about it. Surely this is a me issue. Perfectly outlined by your assumption that the builds I released were Oreo. Heck, I even attached a picture of the XZ1 and XZP running those VERY builds I linked that said Android 9. I'm not obliged to do anything. I release those builds because it's a fun hobby. Constantly spoon feeding people because they refuse to do their research is not on that list.
There is no such thing as "which gapps to use". Ever. On any device. Go to any stupid GApps website and download the GApps that match YOUR taste. If you need advice on arm vs arm64 and which android version then you're wrong in this forum.
less than 24 hours into the thread creation and I consider closing it again. Thats gotta be a new high.

I personally haven't look at the rom on other various devices but have glanced at it here, as you said and posted the format is the same simple copy and paste, no screenshots, no flashing instructions no mention of a bug list if there are any.. so maybe the format may need a tweak or two for us slow xz1 and xz premium folks..and if the lack of info in the op causes a few questions to be asked ..then feel to take you ball and go home..

Yah I believe lack of info cause some issues. Like if you came from lineage 16 dsds and have the dsds twrp you can't flash this rom. You need to flash the single sim xz1twrp in the lineage16 thread.

It's not only this one, but in my case I run a stock rom with existenz patch, with one twrp, then to flash beetle84 ( excuse the spelling) add on, I need the aroma trwp version , then to flash j4nn's kernel you need to flash the DS twrp.. but that's another story.. but the only.point I was trying to get across lack of info in the op , your going to get questions...

Screenshots can be found on our website on this thing called Gallery. Cool huh?
Theres no buglist because theres no need for any. Our official builds have to pass fairly strong criteria before going official and are tested on the devices before going official. I never announced or claimed the Dual SIM variant would be supported.
As for flash instructions I expect users to be capable enough to use Google and do their research. If they are unable to do that, they shouldn't bother messing with Custom ROMs to begin with.
Literally the first Google result for the query "flash Android ROM" is a detailed guide from XDA which would work just fine.
However, thanks for pointing out yet again how fitting your username is. Seeing you're not interested in using Carbon nor are using it right now I'd kindly ask you to refrain from further posts in this thread.
Thanks.

Here's a random thought. What if a zip that doesn't install on the Dual SIM TWRP with an error saying its for the Single SIM variant, is actually for the Single SIM variant?
My offer still stands. I'm willing to look into Dual SIM support of someone with a Dual SIM device volunteers testing. Until then and from now on I'm either going to ignore each and every complaint about the Dual SIM support or value it with some kind of sarcastic reply depending on how I feel.
I spent countless hours working on these devices in my own free time using my own Money to pay for PC Hardware and other expenses. Yet, instead of some kind of appreciation, even if its just the simplest "thank you" post, I get people like @lilbrat *****ing at me for not spoon-feeding people with results from Google queries or worse. Too sad the Sony community hasn't changed in the last two years.
Thankfully, due to multiple reasons, the XZ1 and XZP were my last Sony phones ever, with the community being one of the biggest factors. Shame how the old Sony community turned into this.
I knew I should've left the phones in that dusty corner on my desk instead of putting any time into it.
Thanks so much for your efforts and remember you are here in xda to develop and help each other and others not to debate or criticize or show muscles. thanks again and i think carbon rom is one if the best so don't close the thread and keep up the good work

My offer still stands. I'm willing to look into Dual SIM support of someone with a Dual SIM device volunteers testing. Until then and from now on I'm either going to ignore each and every complaint about the Dual SIM support or value it with some kind of sarcastic reply depending on how I feel.
I spent countless hours working on these devices in my own free time using my own Money to pay for PC Hardware and other expenses. Yet, instead of some kind of appreciation, even if its just the simplest "thank you" post, I get people like @lilbrat *****ing at me for not spoon-feeding people with results from Google queries or worse. Too sad the Sony community hasn't changed in the last two years.
Thankfully, due to multiple reasons, the XZ1 and XZP were my last Sony phones ever, with the community being one of the biggest factors. Shame how the old Sony community turned into this.
I knew I should've left the phones in that dusty corner on my desk instead of putting any time into it.

I have a Dual Sim device and i can volunteer to testing ?
Just found a link of a absolutely usable ROM for the N6P - here's the Android Open Sources illusion Projects's latest build (not my work!) which I couldn't find anywhere else, nor any discussion about it.
Posting this only reflects only my deepest appreciation about this work!
If I was blind to not see the corresponding thread I'm sorry!
(Then go ahead and please delete this if any concerns arise, just happy to see work on this almost forgotten devices...)

GAPPS can be easily found for 11 via Google, I found a nice project on XDA actually, it offers perfect support...
Suggestion from my side:

Hi Everyone, Here I'd like to Introduce you with my custom Gapps package that I use on day to day basis when I flash a new Rom. As I've observed many people struggling with finding the correct version of gapps to flash, I decided to build a...

Love this ROM, thanks to @voidz777 for building "THE ONLY STABLE ANDROID 11 ROM" for 6p at the moment, looking forward to updates on it.
Rom is good but not 100% stable..it has minor bugs such as hotspot is turning off within 10-15 minutes everytime and also phone is charging very slowly..other than that it's stable

I don't use hotspot that much, but for charging issue what i did is i managed to lower down some clock cores and it works just fine without any isse with less heat
New update is up! Thanks @voidz777 for fresh stable update
Works nicely
A few hickups here and there. Did anyone get the smart controls to work?
I am missing the option to add controls, not sure if that is an ASOP thing or something else.
as @Ata Ur Rehman already said, there has been a new update (May 26th), which can be found here:

Also here is the .txt file with a message from @voidz777 (or voidz-maguro):
"I have been interested in other hobbies since March and left 6P alone.
In Japan, the rainy season starts in June and I can only work at home.
Probably I will play with angler for a while.
For the time being, I synced to the May source of aosip.
Device modification corresponds to drm (L3).
selinux is parmissive without change. Because it is very time-consuming to make it enforce. It will take a little longer.
Camera fix? I can't. Find a camera app that you can use without problems.
Even with this, I will spend a lot of time trying in my own way.
Is English strange? It's because of Google Translate.
I want to spend more time on other things than spending time translating into English."

本当にありがとうございます (Thanks a lot)
There are admins who make me stupid on the Telegram channel, so I'm not motivated to do anything about angler. Please ask developers other than me that you like to develop angler.
I also gave the device to a friend.
From now on, I'm not involved with angler anymore.

I am sorry to hear that. And everybody does what they can ^^
I am only temporarily (hopefully) using angler, and for that your ROM is more than awesome to use.
Thanks again and much success on whatever else you are doing.
Amazing job keeping the Angler alive with this ROM. Been using this for a few weeks now.

Try flashing vendor image manually before flashing the ROM.
Same here. Which vendor image should be flashed?
Could somebody give a step by step advise how to do a clean flash with this ROM, pls?
Thanks.

I got it installed. The vendor error message remains but the phone is up and running. And there are no problems but one: The German Fidor bank app is not installed, because the device is said to be not compatible. Usually this message comes up if the phone is rooted. Magisk is not installed. Is the phone with this ROM rooted by itself? Any ideas?
The installation seemed to be OK. But stuck in the boot logo when booting to the system. need help.
SLo
Go to recovery and clear data and reboot.
The camera from Gapp works well, but only one is work.
I try Gcam 8.1 from BSG and the Gcam from Play Store, they work will one photo only.
BTW where did you find this ROM? I can't find any in google.
I tried searching for it and couldn't find it either???
