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!

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.

Notice:
In order to install GApps, you must flash the ROM (and TWRP zip) then reboot into TWRP before flashing our custom GApps package (as this switches slots).
We recommend start off the newest OxygenOS Oreo builds, but we're using the 5.1.8 Fingerprint to pass SafetyNet when combined with Magisk, so you'll see the Popup to flash the proper vendor when using it with a newer OOS. Don't worry though, it's just the popup.
We know it’s complicated, but it sure is worth it!

Install Instructions:
  1. Flash the aforementioned OxygenOS zip on both slots
  2. Move your ROM + [GApps] + TWRP.zip to your internal storage
  3. Boot the TWRP.img > Check what Slot you're on (Reboot Menu) ->Wipe Data & Cache -> Flash the ROM as well as the TWRP.zip
  4. Either Reboot to system or, in case you want GApps, reboot to recovery via TWRP (Reboot -> Recovery)
  5. Check and confirm that you are on the opposite slot from Step 3. If not, switch to it and reboot the recovery again (Reboot Menu) -> Flash GApps (and whatever else you want to flash -> Reboot to System -> Enjoy CarbonROM

Hi guys, thanks a lot for this ROM.

Just two things I noticed:
- Notification shade changed to a transparent gray instead of usual white
- Hardware key rebinding screen is blank under Settings > Fibers > Buttons > Advanced options

Otherwise everything else is working fine.

Nice. I was a heavy user of CarbonRom on me old Xperia Z3C.. Good times.

How does a ROM like this deal with the notch and such?

Wow, cool new Roms. I'll try this out. Appreciate it

Touch sensitivity is a tad off in the corners , requiring quite a few double taps

Install oos on both slots? This not need, twrp makes automatic on both slots.
TWRP flashes itself to both slots. It does not flash the rom to both slots.

I'm on stock 5.1.11, rooted with magisk and using twrp recovery. Can someone explain exactly the process of how I install to both slots?
It's the same process as updating, just do it twice. The system changes slots automatically when you flash the full rom zip. As you're already on 5.1.11, you should be able to just flash the 5.1.11 zip one more time, which will flash it to the other slot. Then reflash twrp, etc., as usual, and reboot. That will ensure you have the latest firmware on both slots, but if you want to be extra-safe, just do it again.

is it possible to port oneplus's face unlock to any custom rom, where it doesn't unlock with closed eyes and is better secured than Google's face unlock, also oneplus face unlock is definetely faster than Google so it'd be a really nice addition if developers could add it to all custom roms!!

Buy this from the Play Store and you'll never be without OnePlus gestures ever again. You can even adjust the height of the gestures.

Buy an app that gives you the ability to use something that has been hardcoded into your phone since basically it's launch... Because fk logic. And an app will never replace hardcoded gestures, there's just too many factors that randomly could break it for me to want this app... Just look at the reviews of it

I use it on every phone that I own and it functions as good as the stock OOS Gestures but with more customizability. I've never had an issue with it. The only time I don't use the app is when I'm in stock OOS. Reviews? I'm giving you one right now. ;)
