Can you please tell me why does the on-screen color look washed up ? Everything, from UI to gallery.

Haven't tried the rom yet, but It must be because this kernel uses Googles colors instead of LG, you can change the colors with TricksterMOD.

He is correct. Download TricksterMod from the app store and change color settings from Google to LG. Colors will look like what you are accustom to.

one more thing, lowest cpu frequency is locked at 918mhz. trickster mod is useless with this, it cannot lock it at any lower rate

Might want to try a different kernel(it will have to be a modded kernel), but check your actual CPU stats. I'm betting it's actually dropping into the 300's and trickster may be lying to you.

I've been building one for GEEB too. So now we have multiple people building Carbon...

I'm unable to tell if you're just saying that the ROM is getting a lot of attention - it's a damn awesome ROM and should get lots of love haha - or if you're implying that I'm stepping on toes. GEE is for GEEHRC(E975) and GEESPR(LS970), so GEEB would still need to get built.

Covered my bases haha. Happy to hear GEEB is getting some Carbon love too. This is by far my favorite ROM.

Just saying that it's getting a lot of attention and redundant building? Because for my Carbon GEEB that I built, all GEEHRC and GEESPR users have to do is flash their own kernel and they should be good to go.... As far as I know anyways. No toe stepping or anything :highfive:

What if we just worked together and made Carbon even more awesome? Though I'm a GIT noob so I don't know if you would want that lol.

Haha, yeah, I'm simply a builder man. I have no programming experience whatsoever and no free time to dedicate to learning. I know only enough to get by. And Carbon...more awesome? My reality would shatter and my mind would explode if that were to happen lol.

Man... It only fails.. no update from google play.. MAC changes every restart forcing me to change the mac in the whitelist of my router... It's a little... unpleasant to use..

I have never heard of this issue nor experienced it myself. My WiFi works flawlessly through reboots. Did you clean flash and all that jazz?

Ak-xGenesis I've heard works wonderfully with this ROM. If you're running a GEEHRC device, you can head over to the Sprint LG Optimus G forum and download GEE there...if it isn't in this forum. If you're running a GEEB device, I'm uncertain of which modded kernels you guys have.

I have only two problems with this rom compared to the 4.4.2 build of Kevin:
1. LTE doesn't seem to work on my international geehrc. using the testing app to set different types of networks it seems there's some misunderstanding with the radio. my phone connects to HSPA/HSPA+ even when configured with WCDMA only or GSM auto or... Unknown :).
2. no FM radio app.

does LTE work for you guys? I mean in the sense of displaying LTE next to the signal bars.
there's also the chance that orange implemented HSPA+ in my area and sells it as 4G and the 4.4.2 rom was showing it as 4G not as H+.
