Everything works fine. But I can't able to move apps to SD card. Its giving pop up saying this ROM does not have app2sd feature or its broken..I redownload ROM and flashed to confirm the zip is not corrupted. But still same problem...

Thanks in advance for your help..

I thank the devs for their hard work...:beer:

@Nikhil Major/Critical bugs:
the move to sd / phone option were missing from application tab
also all the apps no permission to installed to the sd card
this may due to the mounting points and you did not adding the 4.4 kiktat sd hot fix
just you have modified the permission.xml in system/etc/permission

Minor:
carbon rom can not in-place upgrade from omni 4.4 it
the theme choose will fc

2systemui will not started when in-place upgrade from omni4.4
(statues bar, nodification center,quick setting scroll down etc.)

what I could found the bug were above(majority sD card permission)
if you have time please fix it asap

hi all, great job ... will fix the camera, as it does not go to video mode and does not move.

gjpalathingal · Aug 25, 2014

Thanks for the very nice ROM. I love the ROM but Google play services and Clock crashes all the time! Can we expect a fix for these or am I missing something?

kins299 · Aug 25, 2014

Did u clean install this ROM or you flashed over any previous .4.4 ROM ?if its not clean install. Try to wipe cache n dalvik from recovery also wipe cache and data for those app that you have issue with.. Which g-apps you use?

Good luck! :thumbup:
