This one went awesome. I was able to installed it configure it and used Go Backup to restore my apps.

Oh and no scroll wallpaper!! Yay! :)

Good job dude.

Edit: I was able to get the camera working, replacing the apk on system > app by the apk from another ROM.

Basically the same from rundrune's build.

That's all you had to do? Move the APK?

That's it. Take the apk from a working ROM and replace the apk on system with that one :)

Stock camera will work after that.

Go to the CM thread and someome published a download link to the camera apk. Get it and replace the one that comes on this build.

Sound issue is little buggy even with all the fixes like @ALBERTO fix zip & @doga viper4 fix but still acceptable as a daily driver.

Guys if anyone is interested, I'm using this gapps with Carbon ROM and they work perfect (size 98mb) and don't use the huge size of PA GApps

http://d-h.st/yrl

And if you don't want to use an external app for camera, here you have the stock camera for 4.4. Just replace (or delete) the one that comes in the ROM and replace it for this one.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0Nd2rJLrrwtemloNUhld1VJQzg/edit

After that your stock camera will work just fine.

    -Carbon ROM 4.4.2 Released


    When i left all i9500 community. Sound quality was very bad (more than bad maybe). Thats why i left, but now i can see light end of the road.. Microphone and speaker stuff in-call looks like almost fixed :) My friends can hear me clearly anyway one thing left (sometimes glitchy) low sound :) i learned some new skills while i was absent here .. So i can try fixing some stuff right now :)
    Maybe we will get full working ROM soon. who knows :eek: :cyclops: :good:

    Yeah Video Recording doesn't work for now...

    [ IN-CALL SOUND FIX ]


    Guys :

    My Turkish Friend shared an information with me :)
    His name is "Emre Akturk"

    WE FINALLY FOUND A FIX FOR SOUND PROBLEMS

    That Information fixes SOUND QUALITY IN-CALL AND ALL OTHER SOUND RELATED PROBLEMS :)
    I TESTED IT WORKS :)
    BUT WE STILL NEED TESTERS :)
    PLEASE TEST AND REPORT IF IT FIXES :)
    I CALLED MY FRIENDS AND THEY SAID "YEAH SOUND IS GOOD NOW :)"
    These 2 apps fixes sound :)

    Viper4Android App (The main app which changes sound drivers)(without adaway app app cant gain su permission i dont know why but after installing adaway and applying adblocking,suddenly app gains su permission. It's weird or magic don't know :) )
    And AdAway app (It probably changes hosts file and you can install drivers after that :) It's weird but it works :) )

    Viper4Android app is very popular around these days but i didnt think it can fix the sound :)
    Anyway My Turkish Friend found that way :)

    All credits goes to Emre Akturk for finding a way to fix the sound temporarily.(Maybe I can include library files from viper4android into device tree in the future with proper credits ( Viper4Android Credits Rules) .So we will get permanent fix after that )

    Links Below :

    Viper4Android (to fix sound :) )

    AdAway (to fix root problem with magic lol)

    PLEASE TEST AND WRITE FEEDBACK MATES :)

    Other Credits goes to viper4android developers : here is main link of viper4android app


    INSTRUCTIONS :
    1- Install Adaway and viper4android apks to your device :)
    2- Open adaway and allow root access :) and touch "download files and apply ad blocking" button.
    And then reboot system
    3- open viper4android and allow for installing drivers :)
    4- allow root access
    5- and then reboot :)
    6- open viper4android app
    7- Touch to activate sound fix(in all tabs headset,phonespeaker,bluetooth device) --Enable (v4a-SpeakerFX is powered on) --
    8- Reboot Your Phone
    9- Make Calls With Somebody :)
