Good rom
This really a stable rom. I like your work. :victory:

Change theme?
How to change the Rom's theme now? I don't see the theme changer.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but SlimKat has no theme changer for now
You can try using the theme control of your nova launcher instead.

I would love to see 2 new features so the SlimKat would be perfect ;D I've seen some nice features in other roms: data counter on notification bar like in LewaOS and also in "last lunched apps" app was button "kill all" also it showed how much RAM left and you can pin the apps that you don't want to kill by tap&hold on them. I would love if you could add feature of data counter especially. (don't forget that not all plans start at first day of the month so set starting day feature would be also nice)

nice...........................
thumbs up

Fix center clock on status bar
I have an issue with my clock when i center that on my status bar, you can see on the screenshoot icons overlap the clock.
Ty :good:
Oh this is cool I totally didn't know this was here
I have a problem with the status bar. Like I centered my clock and everything was cool until I rebooted my phone, now I don't get any notification icons or wifi or signal no matter what settings I take on or off or toggle. I would love for there to be a reset back to default button especially since some things like clock size don't have it, so once it changes you just have to eyeball it. Theres also a couple of misspellings if you care But I love the rom! I don't even need exposed really with this rom because it does everything wanam does already and then some!

I'm using a Canadian S5 G900W8, would this be compatible?

step 4 regarding Installation
HI there,
I have to say that what I have seen regarding this rom is totally impressive, and I want to use it.
my question is regarding step 4, and creating a needed folder??
what is the title of this file is it **Structures?** sorry if this sounds like a ridicoulous question but it is totally unclear to me
I have not come across this before in installing any rom, any help would be much appreciated.
Step 1-
Make Sure You Have a Custom Recovery - TWRP or Philz
Step 2-
Wipe all(factory reset and wipe davlik) if coming from another rom
Step 3-
Install the Rom
Step 4-
Once booted open Alliance Manager from app drawer to create needed folder structures
Step 5-
Enjoy!!
Weird Camera Bug
Does anyone know a fix to this strange camera glitch/bug. It does go away after a few seconds and occurs with every app that uses either camera
Has anyone found a fix to the camera glitch/bug?
Can this be flashed over stock 5.1.1 even after clean install or do I have to roll back to a older version using Odin first?
Thanks for any replies.

Camera
Hi I own a Xperia Z2 and I'm interested in installing this custom ROM. However I am interested in the camera app with which this ROM comes with. As on the stock Sony ROM the camera app would 'overheat' after recording 4k video for 10 min. I would like to know what kind of app/software you use on this ROM to record videos and if the same 'popup' would appear after 10 min of 4k recording.
Thanks in advance
There is no 4k or Sony camera in ANY aosp/cm etc (aka non stock) rom unfortunately

You actually should be able to post in the real Nightly Thread now, I just deactivated the Q&A Thingy. To your problems:
The CPU thingy is like this. This is also how it is clocked on the stock Rom. You couls install a Custom Kernel to OC it to 2.5 (Actually 2.45 GHz) If you want so.
Regarding the Music App: Just install any App you like from the Playstore.
Regarding the Gov and Shedulers: Find it out on your own and what fits your needs best.
Regarding the Launcher: Not with the Standard launcher but you could always install a different one from the playstore.

BUG FOUND
rom installed : CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141020-0238-sirius.zip with pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip via CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1.
When I connect the charger while the device is turned off , it is booting the phone / system. You can't have the device turned off and charge your phone.
Another strange thing is that on Statusbar there is no indication on the battery icon that a charger is connected.
Still the best behavior in general use from a custom rom I had till now.

Don't really know about the charger thing. If I remember correctly this also happens on CM.
Regarding the charging animation: you can change the battery icons color when you charge the phone. Battery Circle animations are rotating when charging. Check Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar for more.

request for the future + notices in behavior
1)I wanted to use an mp3 as a ring tone and there is no way to do it without installing Rings Extended or similar ringtone picker from the market. It is sad to see that basic things are not included in a custom ROM that is supposed to be one of the most customisable ones. It is not so important but I would like to see a better ringtone picker in the future.
2)Also I don't understand why there is no app for music. Of course I can download from playstore or other sources from the internet but usually a ROM should have a default player.
I am using this ROM for 3-4 days now , it is far better than others. Actually my personal opinion is that it replace easily the official ROM.
3)I've noticed that while my screen is locked (black) , without hitting the power button , the screen lock appears for a second and after that the screen goes black again. I saw that 4-5 times this afternoon.
4) When I go to Settings -> Themes -> Wallpaper -> Carbon Wallpapers and try to apply a wallpaper , it applies it but not correctly. The image is shown on the desktop is less than half of the one shown in preview.
5) Using the app Messaging , when I write an sms with Greek characters , it gives me a 60 characters limit. I know this issue exists even in official Sony firmware. I also know that I could download GoSMS or similar app with local support , but I would like to know if there is a way to fix that with Messaging.
p.s
All of my comments are posted based on good will.
cheers !

I did that my friend "Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar" but this doesn't fix the isue. I will try to "play" with it by choosing different styles and colours but I already did that with no luck. Maybe it will work ...

1) place the MP3 in a folder called Rintones on the internal storage and select it with the default Settings. (stock Android bahaviour)
2) We decided not to include any as Apollo seemed to have random issues at the beginning of KK.
3) Check Carbon Fibers -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen Notifications and Active Display if you have Pocket mode activated.
4)The picture is to big You should be able to scroll if you have more than 1 Homescreen tho
5) Not that I know.
Regarding the PS: We always appreciate feedback and I never expected your posts not to be on based on a good will

Pocket mode is not activated
as said about Carbon wallpapers , I don't know if it is cause the image is too big , because if I tap on the right button Set as Wallpaper fast before the image loads the big preview , it applies ok without problems but not all the times. there must be a bug there or something
and about the charging status , sometimes it works when you connect the charger, the icon on the status bar shows it is charging. sometimes not

Is there a way to increase font size for Sony Z Ultra GPE on CandyKat?
Hi.
First, I want to thank you for all your hard work on this ROM. I like it a lot. Now let us get ti business. I wonder if there is a way to increase overall font size for this ROM on Sony Z Ultra GPE. I want to Settings - Displays, but the Font options are gone. I went to themes, no options to cchange font size either. I flashed new fonts from the sweetener, but those fonts are still too small for my eyes.
I am looking forward to read yor reply.
Best regards

Dark System UI
If you could create a version using a dark system UI that works with Thyrus's theme, that would be awesome!
Small bug in r10
The MCR Control app crashes/closes to home screen if orientation is changed from portrait to landscape and vice versa; 180°-rotation seems okay though. It worked fine in r9 and earlier versions. I'm on stock LRX22C.
Thank you for r10, the reboot option works flawlessly and I don't know how I could have survived without it so far. Why did you choose a shoe icon, btw?

Yeah, r10 exits on my N9 if I rotate it to landscape... A minor quirk, but other than that no problems.
The extended reboot options are a most welcome addition.
Incidentally, @GhostWr-High-ter, I think the 'shoe' icon is supposed to a be a 'boot'... as in re-boot.
Nice Modpack, Paul... Thanks.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Update for 5.1.X?
Paul has the nexus 9 right? Why has he not updated the moidpack for the latest releases on android? I really need the lock status bar to black functionality but the modpack only works for 5.0.1 at the moment.
And there's updates four the he us phones, so why not the tab?
Registered just to ask that question...

I asked him on twitter and he said he was, but that was the day after 5.1.1 was released. Haven't heard anything since.

you have done an excellent job with the xperia u 5.1 AOSP rom
I downloaded the kumquat xperia U android 5.1 rom you uploaded on 15 th march it is way better please keep on posting updates i absolutely love the transparent app drawer ......
there is a sound issue with the rom though sometimes you cant hear the ringtones , otherwise it rocks
thank you again please keep updating .....
you deserve more credit than you get .... and please do something about the black lockscreen can it be transparent please thank you again
you saw that build
I removed it because it was only a work-build, and i uploaded it there only temporary so that i could download it to my phone (i wasn's at home).
I like the transparent app drawer too, about the lockscreen wallpaper.. for now.. the only option is for you to change the ro.config.low_ram=true in to ro.config.low_ram=false in build.prop , but ill figure out something else.. probably
EDIT:... there is a new build, i just tried it, its uploading now, it should be smoother , and with less graphical and audio glitches.
pirej if you are reading this a big thank you
just downloaded the new xperia u 5.1 rom you uploaded on the 17 March it is very good much better than the one on 15 march , everything works ie sound and all i love it i really hope a lot many people download this rom, you will do a better job than (CM12 thread by agontuk ) hopefully you will start your own Cm12 eagerly waiting, till then will be using your Aosp version .
a big thank you to you made my day brother ......
Can you make it for Xperia P?
great job pirej
You need to advertise your product better its a shame how few people are downloading this rom which is far more functional than CM12 builds .
you must at least have a expanded view of the " ABOUT PHONE " in your thread and change the wallpaper background it almost looks black, otherwise people who are visiting are overlooking the fact that you are the only one who has developed a 5.1 rom that is fully functional for daily ue.
Thanks, keep up the good work .....;.

Thanks for your positive comments, i dont want to brag about the rom, and i knew it would be like this even before making the rom/thread.
The bottom line is that im doing this primary FOR ME, and im just sharing my work with you or anyone else who wants to try it.
I will post some new screenshots, but it wont change anything.
Thanks again.

What exactly you mean "not saving used networks properly" ?
This is not final fix for wifi, i know its not reconnecting automatically, but at least now it saves the network..
Missing some features
Hi! This rom you did is awesome and goes very well, but I miss some things about stock lollipop:
- Recent apps view.
- Transparent status bar / app color status bar.
- lockscreen wallpaper available (black screen seems horrible ).
Thank you for this room that have come back to live my old Xperia U!!!

Question
Any chances to make Video Recording working? What`s the problem? Related with what?
Almost perfect
Hi! Thank you for sharing your home-made ROM, which is FANTASTIC! Just one question: what will I have to wipe to make the update to the last version without losing my data-apps etc? Cache and dalvik cache only? No wipes?

Yes, just wipe cache and dalvik cache, but.. i always prefer clean install
This ROM is great, you made this rom even better than cm 12 project by agontuk
Almost everything is working and stable
I just see a few bug like YouTube app working lagy
And transparency effects missing like black lock screen
I hope your can fix these sorry for my English
are there still any memory leak in 5.1
Really a great ROM... stable and faster than KitKat ones I've tested!
Keep working on it!
