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. 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.

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.

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.

Has any features been added since the unofficial release? And if not, will these nightlies finish where you let off?

You may/may not need to format the usual places.
Enjoy.

Delta updates should be working.
Check for updates in settings.

I seen an article saying delta updates only applies the changes of a new nightly(I never used this). Does this mean that I can go into settings and do my thing, without having to wipe or flash anything?

Basically, it diffs the updates and a button will pop up.
You click that button and it will download a 20~ mb file to update with. It will then automatically boot into recovery and flash it and boot back. Pretty straightforward. Makes it easier for updates.

They're definitely not as active as it used to be, but us hard-core Blazer's try! No, but really, the interaction isn't as good lately.

Funny. :)

I'm still using my Blaze. I've got a second one that I installed another ROM on during the hiatus. I'm happy to see Carbon back and better (with the updater app and diffs). One question - what bugs remain? speakerphone? camera preview? scanner apps? I know there are *some* apps that can be used despite these bugs (a better camera, qr droid) but curious about the old bug status. Thanks!

Just speakerphone :/
Camera is fixed with the new wrapper.
