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. 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 at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.

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.

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! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.



Features

As of today:

This is all very much a work in progress. Carbon Fibers are still in the process of being merged with 4.4.2, but I'm sure it'll be ready soon...

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 goo.im page linked above. It's new, but expanding fast. Just like us!

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 G+ Community: http://community.carbon-rom.com This is where we spend the bulk of our time and the best way to reach us and other community members. We update and frequent this community far more than XDA, simply due to time constraints and the convenience of G+.

5) 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.

hi, I could download and test this :)

considering it is based on cm11, it shares same bugs as always in almost all aosp based roms (speaker whistle, no panorama, and very probably reboots even if i didn't experience them so far, but I've been using the rom very shortly so far!)

only exception is omni thanks to tilal and his latest kernel, that has all of the above working (except for the whistle)

so i wonder why everyone still uses cm's kernel and not omni's?
maybe omni's kernel is not public yet?!

btw, in this rom camera button is working :p
also, it has many nice features (but no halo it seems to me? or where can i find it?)


Contacts and Mails are not sync. Any idea?

minimal gapps by banks are working and synching fine, as always! ;) :)




of course, thanks for your work in any case! ;)
bye!

If that kernel works with cm11, why not, i'll see what i can do.

Halo feature is not there cuz carbon team working on it and it still not merged. I can cherry pick it but the problem is; if i do that, soon as i will sync my repo, i will loose it.
That means i won't keep u up to date as often as i would, considering fact that im still not a pro :p , and it represents huge work to me to add it on each new build.

I want to give u guys at least a build or two a week. Be patient that function is coming. ;)

Thank you. Right now the kernel is the most important factor to resolve the annoying blue screens. CM still hasn't worked on it as far as I know. But Omni is was ahead because of tilal and his team.

As I've said multiple times before the blue screens are random - there is no surefire why of reproducing them or of stopping them with the old kernel. The only way to fix it is to use the new 4.3 kernel sources instead as I have done with omni.

one noob question: for the porters to the xperia T of this rom, liquid smooth and others AOSP based roms, would it be just enough to take your new kernel as it is (maybe just recompile it to make it match with their roms) or they too should take the sony sources as you did and work directly on them?

just to understand if the work would be pretty simple (and so we could have soon different aosp based roms all with almost everything working, like now in omni) or if that is not likely to happen ;)

thanks bye!
