About Carbon

CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes.

For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.

Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub. and on our Gerrit CarbonDev Gerrit.

We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.

Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.

Support

We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:

1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.

2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ

3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.

4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

Still works fine :D great work, thats what I am waiting for!

Google Kamera is working, but I prefer to use Camera FV-5, which don´t work... And the picture quality of Google Kam is not the best I have to say.. The red sensor light is on when phone is in stand by. If I reboot phone, all apps which are moved to internal sd are lost. And then I have no access to internal sd... I will test batery lifetime tomorrow. Hope my feedback helps :)

Edit: after waiting 5 minutes after reboot, my apps which are in internal storage are back. But I put them on home screen and those who are in internal storage are away after rebooting. Hope you understand my worse english...

    First official Carbon nightly is here.

    https://carbonrom.org/downloads/?device=taoshan&type=nightly

    For OTAs to work from next nightly, keep this nightly in the root of your internal sdcard. This time you need to download whole rom. From next time just the OTA. But for OTA to work, this rom zip should be in the root of internal sdcard. Further instructions and thread update will be done tomorrow. Currently busy. Enjoy :) and yes this is based on 4.4.3.
