  • 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.

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 should start off with the latest Stock ROM, flash TWRP, and then proceed to flash Carbon.

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!

Public Service Announcement

This is an unofficial build for Oreo (8.1.0).

Given timing of achieving this and the likelihood that as of July the big G dropped support of Oreo (among other issues), official status does not look promising now.

If you see something out of place, please post with logs.

At this point there will be no feature requests for this Android Oreo, just looking to stomp out any bugs that remain.

FYI, if you rather hang with Nougat, I have also posted some recently discontinued builds (have used them extensively, but for these you are on your own in terms of support).

Enjoy!

@OfficerJimLahey well this is something I will look forward to flash. You will have full logs whatever I can help you with. Will flash asap and report with oreo. Never thought carbon will be here like this. ?
We were never far. I have been working on this for well over a year, with that side journey in Nougat. But until recently, there were ... problems on Oreo. :eek:

I played the rom once. So far I have found no mistakes. Will report in the next few days! Thanks in advance
No problem! Glad to have the kernel issues sorted out (squid2 being the one to thank for that) to make this possible.

Thanks for the New life to Lux.

Its Supercool Rom. Magisk is also working. Changed the dpi to 400 which makes it awesome!

It just seems as Active display is not working as it should be.. when i hold the device, it doesn't display the notifications till i click on the power button.

Anyways Thanks Dev!

Oh that. New in Android O, you can set other apps to be trusted in installing. Much better than Google Play or always allow unsigned apps. So the app you used to install it just wasn't trusted for the job (yet).

Install it's ok. When i open apk in "apps download " the install it's impossible but when i go in storage and in the folders download the installation it's ok

Original charger?
Battery drain doesn't seem all that different from (Moto Stock) Nougat to me - since the WiFi is a pig for battery.
Yes using original charger... Anyway thanks for the great ROM its good for daily driver flash Xposed magisk both work well hope to see more builds
Thanks Dev.. ?
