[ROM][P75x0/p4wifi/p4][JB4.2]Carbon-Mackay (6-Aug)

I have been compiling InfamousAOKP as well as Paranoid Android for the galaxy tab (P7510/p4wifi & P7500/p4). Although I like the HALO feature of PA, I also found several features lacking in PA. Then I came across Carbon ROM:
http://goo.im/devs/carbon

They make a ROM based on AOSP, merging key features of CM, AOKP & PA. This, combined with Linaro used for ROM building, results in an impressive ROM -> high speed & versatility. I decided to port this ROM to our device as well.

Details 6-Aug release
Upstream source code of 5-August (including further improvements to HALO)
-> If coming from anything before the 11-July build, you have to reflash gapps!

Details 18-July release
Upstream source code of 18 July (including further improvements to HALO)
-> If coming from anything before the 11-July build, you have to reflash gapps!

Details 14-July release
Upstream source code of 14 July (including many improvements to HALO)
Build for both p4 & p4wifi
Latest Infamous 2.3 kernel
-> If coming from anything but the 11-July build, you have to reflash gapps!

Details 11-July release
Upstream source code of 11 July
-includes the important security patch of CM10.1.1

Infamous kernel 2.1:
-many updates to wifi & modem

This build will require a reflash of your gapps packages, normal backup/restore of gapps will work again from the next build!

Details 18-June beta release
Infamous 1.9 kernel:
-Fix fox l2_hsic problem
Improved wifi driver (from pershoot)

ROM:
-Update codebase 18-Jun
-HALO comes with a master switch so it can be disabled (default = disabled, so you have to activate it the first time booting)
-Small improvements to p4-common device tree (should make things smoother)

Details 12-June
-Source code 13/06/2013 (with Halo; you need to use PhabletUI to activate Halo, you can then switch to tabletUI)
-ROM build with Linaro 4.7 toolchain/O3, but kernel with 4.6 (to prevent reboot issues).
-Infamous kernel 1.7

Not extensively tested yet, so that is also why I added the alpha in the topic title!

I have only built this ROM for p4wifi/p4.

If you want to build it for another device, you can find the source code on my github:

PA gapps:

Just one note: the PA gapps are extremely fully packed. I have no interest in 50+% of the apps included, so I removed them before flashing from the zip file (on a Windows PC you can use e.g. 7zip to do that).

Will your build work in the p4 model (GT-P7500)?

Yes, I will do that soon.

p4 version online now.

Same codebase as p4wifi, which works fine on p4wifi, but I did not test this ROM on p4. So be prepared for the worst when installing this!

Installed on P4 without any problems so far. (I'm not using a simcard though).

Looking forward to future releases. Infamous Rom felt more smooth...

Must I use the pa gapps? If I use the gapps in cm10.1 thread what will happen?

You can also use the gapps from the CM10.1 thread. The PA ones are simply more updated (and contain a better keyboard).

Congrats to Kasper
He did it again.
Smooth Rom.
Unfortunately no option to remove the Google search bar & enlarge the screen.
That's why I chose for his PA Rom

Keep up the good work

I prefer Apex launcher, even better than Trebuchet
I prefer the additional settings in Carbon over PA. I was mainly missing the navbar customization from AOKP

I like the ROM. Really.
It feels like mey Galaxy Nexus on PA linaro.
Only the Phablet interface was a little... slow, but normal Tablet interface works fine for me.

Keep it up
