As usual another 1 for me

Glad to see a new rom coming out ! One small thing though : your thread states it's 4.4.2, yet your features list shows 4.2.2. It got me troubled for a few seconds.

Anyway, thanks for your dedication !

Demetris · Jan 24, 2014

Yeah you got me!

Honest copy paste mistake

As you guessed am building this since 4.2.2 :highfive:

Boots to a Split and Fuzzy Screen

Thank you for bringing this to us.

I did a clean wipe of system, data and cache, and then flashed it. It boots to a fuzzy, 'double-vision' screen (two of everything, split down the middle but only half way down the screen..). The screen doesn't respond and I can go no further.

Thanks for bringing Carbon to the G Pad, I hope you can iron out the big kinks fast and that it won't give you too much trouble.

I appreciate all of you devs doing your thing for this tablet. Makes me happy.

I've the same problem as "zahir32" and even cannot get into recovery by using "adb reboot recovery". Please help...

Recovery

I had to use the buttons combo to get back to recovery. As you note, ADB doesn't do it.

With Device Powered Off And Unplugged

- Press and hold Power Button + Volume Down
- When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only
- Now press and hold the Power and Volume Up button while keeping your hold on the Volume Down button
- When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons

You will asked if you want to do a factory reset by pressing the power button twice. Do so, don't worry this will actually take you back into recovery and not reset your device. From there you can re-flash any safe rom.

I see you porting several ROMs to our device, for which we are extremely grateful. Is it possible to port RastaKat too?

I'd be over the Moon if he ported Rastakat as it's my favourite rom .
Not sure if it's possible at this point in time though.

Love carbon Rom thanks for coming over

Demetris, I love your work, but I think this ROM should be fixed or put down.
There are no reports of it working fine, it has display driver issues for everybody.
Anyone who tries to install it just has to go through the hassle of getting to recovery through the key combo.

This ROM is a trap. By accident. Please, fix it, or take it off the internet.

Rom still broken. Massive artifact once booted up.

knightsh · Feb 2, 2014

Same here. Touchscreen unresponsive, and double batteries/WiFi icons. Don't give up Demetris.

Meanwhile i have contacted Carbon team and problem is currently under investigation.
