  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done.

Who's back? We're back.

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... and at CarbonROM Gerrit.

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! 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.

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!

Clean install with OpenGapps Pico, the ROM seems to be smooth and working well !
I use the tablet mainly for e-mails and some browsing and reading books.
Thanks for this ROM !

Just trying it out, looks pretty smooth and nice for now but I have one question, I've seen that on few other devices CarbonROM supports signature spoofing, but not on flo. Can it be added in the future to this tablet too?

I really do love this ROM. It's never crashed on me, no major hangups. It's super fast and fluid, but I have a couple of minor issues with it.

-YouTube 1080p60fps gives me audio, but all I see is a black screen.
-Watching YouTube at 720p60fps (not lower resolutions) and doing any type of scrolling, be it the comments or split screen, will cause the video to pause until scrolling stops (audio is fine). Hell even tapping the screen stops the video a little bit.
-Opening multiple subreddits on top of one another in Slide for Reddit causes major amounts of stuttering.

So is this a raw performance issue? Can other people with this ROM check for these issues too? Do other ROMs have these issues? I'm thinking about trying Resurrection Remix just to see if such problems exist just for this ROM or for my tablet in general.

No, it is not.
I have tried all the ROMs, WiFi works in all of them without problems !
Anyway, I have installed Validus now and there is no problem !
Regards
Lol, both ROMs use the same sources, and I wouldn't have released the ROM if WiFi didn't work properly.

I am sorry, I am a noob as far as these ROMs etc., are considered !
The problem may very well be something with my Nexus or the router or something like that.
Once again I am sorry.

Very nice Rom, stable and fluid.
It's los kernel but it would be nice to add dt2w in the next builds. I know glitch and elemental got it, but on stock it would be nice too, thx
Edit: anyone got short info about arkamysaudio.apk? Does it improve sound, does it need a configuration? I killed it for arise and dolby sofar
