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. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.

Please feel free to look, build, and use our code at CarbonROM's GitHub...

Disclaimer:
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! These builds are experimental and can contain Bugs (as listed above). Make sure to do backups.

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) Join our Discord server! There, you can connect with other Carbon users and our developers, and you can get quicker responses to your bug reports. The invite link is right below.
5) Please keep bugreports to this thread or Discord. Do NOT create a Jira ticket. This is still in early development so we don't accept any bugreports yet.

Requirements:
You need 1.5 GB of system partition and emulated storage for ROM installation.
Not sure how? See on this post.

Remember, every penny you send to us goes right back into the rom. It's used for hardware, server costs, etc - all the things that help us make Carbon better with every release. Your support means the world to us! If you've enjoyed Carbon, please consider a donation toward this goal. Thank you, and we hope you continue to enjoy Carbon!

FAQ
0) Known issues:
- Call recording only records microphone
- Device encryption [I have no idea how to fix it, sorry]


1) Yes, it is rootless.
Do not ask me when it will have implementation for compatibility with the old SuperSU application. Do not insist.

2) Magisk:
Adaptation possible! But to be successful I have to synchronize the cr-7.0 code on the PC and 150GB of space is needed, which I don't have at the moment.

As soon as I can, I'll do it.
DON'T ASK ME WHEN, PLEASE.

The i9100 Kernel (3.0.101) does not support namespace to work. Please, do not pollute the topic with that kind of question.

3) Bugs:
Did you find a bug or problem?
Make a logcat and put it in pastebin/hastebin. I'll look when I can :)
You will need a computer, adb installed, usb debugging enabled on the smartphone and a usb cable.
Here's how to do it here.

1. Open Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/macOS).
2. Type:
Code:
adb logcat -d > carbon-logcat-dateoflogcat.txt
This will save the log to carbon-logcat-dateoflogcat.txt.

4) MindTheGapps or NanoDroid MicroG?
Does not matter! But... the NanoDroid is lighter. Recommend!

5) I love MicroG, but I also like the Play Store :(
No problems! After MicroG installation, you can use this Shadow53 installer for store use.
P.S: This should be done after you have restarted the device with NanoDroid installed.

6) Why use the dark mode to prevent wear on the AMOLED screen?
8 years baby! You will not want to put a generic on your cell phone, right?

Hi linusdan ! I don't guess , Does your Carbon ROM (latest release) have root in it ?
or should be do separately ? where is the complete guide to root with Carbon ROM ?
Thanks for your Job :)
 
On stock ROM i9100 (there was never anything else) I made an instruction with post #3 but nothing happens.
My system is Windows 10 PRO.


Edit.
===

Instead:

0.2 Start Odin and connect your phone to the PC. The device ID will appear in the application interface.

It should be:

0.2a Boot your phone into Download-mode (Volume down + Power/Standby + Home and hold for 10 seconds).
0.2b Start Odin 3.13.1 in your PC.
0.2c Connect your phone via USB to your PC.
0.2d Press volume up on your phone, Odin should detect your phone.
