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 or Telegram group! 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.

Requirements:
You should start off with the latest OxygenOS on both slots and then proceed to flash Carbon.

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!

Man, the last time I ran Carbon was in the LG G3 days, and it rocked back then.

Installed and setup without a hitch. The ROM is super snappy. It's impressively fluid and responsive. Too early to tell much else. I'm going to take this for a spin in the coming days. Great job, brother!

As noted, it is an early release. Please be patient and give it time to mature. While not bare bones, it is lacking some popular features. Inb4 the can I has storm.

Edit: The ROM is performing great. No crazy idle drain and deep sleeps as it should. The stock kernel is very efficient.

Thanks for your feedback. I don't mean to start a war but what's your background on this device? Like did you try a lot of other custom ROMs and you can tell this one is faster?

Had the device since launch, been rooted forever and have tried almost all roms on xda, stock and aosp. All roms are good for what they are, but some miss features while others have a plethora of features. I've used Carbon on many previous devices and always found myself going back to Carbon. Yes, I'm a flashaholic of many years, but to me, Carbon has always been a gold-standard thru all my flashing of various devices... I stray, but always come back :)

This is my opinion only of course, but past experiences with Carbon have been nothing but buttery goodness. This initial release is an excellent beginning of what I hope will be a long line of releases for this device. Some of my fave roms on here are Omni, AOSIP, Tresk, and Syberia. One of the reasons I bough the Oneplus 6 was the ability to flash roms and the excellent community of sites like XDA. Love this site :)

Thanks for your detailed feedback! I might give it a try in a few builds once it gets more mature.

If you feel like it and have time for it, could you fill this sheet to give users an idea about features available? Thanks. :)

Hey guys,

nice to See carbon here, i used it some years ago on my S4,S3,S2 (and maybe Note 2 LTE,but im not sure )

i was on 9.0.4 and installed it some minutes ago. After first Boot there was a message i should update my Vendor or something like that.
I dont know if its important i got my OP6 4 days ago and i didnt mod my last phone so much (Huawei Mate 10 Pro btw) so i dont have big knowledge at the moment, sorry :(

Everything else works for now (at least what i have Seen/tried ) and it runs very smooth!

Here is what ive done,maybe i made a mistake here,it was the first Rom i flashed in this phone:

- of course a Backup (Titanium Backup and Nandroid)
- wipe Dalvik,System and Data
- flashed Rom and twrp
- reboot
- flash pico gapps and Magisk

i Miss the gestures so i think i will go back to stock for a while (until i found something similar, i know there are some apps but i didnt try Them now)

Edit: had to decrypt my device to be able to boot stock afterwards, simply did a factoy reset and restored my Data partition.

Official builds are here

The time has finally come, we're going official.

After Server issues, and several rebases due to Google's Upstream doing the same, we're finally satisfied with the ROM to make it officially available to the public.

The new CarbonROM revision 7.0 is codenamed Opal, and is currently based on android-9.0.0_r35 (thats the April security bulletin).

The OP has been updated to include the official download.

PLEASE NOTE: You WILL need to perform a clean install. The official builds are signed with custom keys for your security and are therefore not compatible with the unofficial builds that were signed with the default Google keys.

We feel like this might be one of our best releases yet, with new features like Aggressive Battery, a newly designed performance vendor and many more coming. Let us know what you think.

Also, this is the first time ever we will keep on maintaining the older branch. That means you will still get monthly security updates of Noct on the devices that do not support Pie yet.

A new blog is due to get up soon, an in depth release post will follow there.

For now, Happy flashing and we hope you'll enjoy the ROM as much as we did creating it :)
