[9][OFFICIAL][WEEKLY] CarbonROM | cr-7.0 [shamu]

[Myself5]

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.

Big thanks to @camcory for his help with the Devicetrees.

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!

Thank you very much to give us a chance to have a look at your developing work!!
Can you give us a recommendation for Gapps? That would be great!

@camcory built some for arm. You can find them here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OH9N2UGTr_ZPi-zNaerFpxH9W5zQY89D
They should work fine but I didn't test them personally yet.

NOTICE: THIS IS AN EARLY BUILD FROM OUR TESTING BRANCH. There will be changes in the release branches like changed/removed features or similiar.

BUGS:
Encryption is not working. Don't try to encrypt. It WILL break.
Due to the broken encryption, you need to format /data before booting, so backup your data.
Mobile connection (RIL) can be broken after reboots. To fix that, enter *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone information and enable "Mobile Radio Power". It's working fine afterwards.

[frap129]

wauw this rom is working well on my shamu. Thanks dev!

 

[revparadigm]

Great start man with tasty Pie! Besides the minor issues of not getting the theme dark color to work, the only other thing when I reboot it told me I was in airplane mode...but that stuff I'm sure will be dealt with. Keep up the great work, love this.

+1000

 

[Ta3miyyasandwich]

I don't know the history but I am immensely grateful to everyone. I looked up the githubs mentioned, understood some of the changes, and feel far less useless now. This must be insanely timeconsuming and predictive if there's no quick method to compile parts and test. We should be grateful.

Interesting. Was the QS Button green and the statusbar icon there (so was it fully enabled?) or was the mobile data just disabled as listed on the Bug list?
I'm trying to get as much information about that issue as possible as it's really bugging me, lol.

Alrighty then, hopefully everyone got that out of their systems. Let's review a few things real quick-like before the cyber bloodshed goes any further:

Forum Rules apply to EVERY member, regardless of title, time in Xda, skill/talent, or significance of contribution to Xda.

What that means in simple, so easy a caveman could understand it terms; no insulting, disrespect, personal attacks, rude or profane comments, and when in a development thread, all posts need to be directly related to the work in the title of the thread.

Most of those involved in this display of testosterone know better, and should consider this a polite, courtesy warning to please keep the school yard banter OFF Xda and on Facebook, Insta, Reddit or any other social media platform where this sort of thing is welcomed.

If you have legit complaints about someone's actions or their work, use the REPORT function.

Let's not antagonize, create drama, or poke the bear so-to-speak by inviting trouble.

Any bad blood, personal issues, or personal beefs need to find somewhere else to be handled.

Please, let's all get back to observing Forum Rules, commenting only on the development going on here, and let's keep things civil, and respectful.

Your help, and attention are much appreciated. Thanks.

 

[Az Biker]

If there is an issue that needs to be addressed, try the REPORT function to identify the problem.

There is no reason for a Moderator to read the entire OP when cleaning a thread, especially if the offensive comment was not even reported.

By the time the reported comments were deleted, and PMs were made, the unreported comment in the OP was edited.

You guys spent more time complaining about something I didn't even know existed, rather than just reporting it.

If there are any further questions, please PM me and keep it out of the development thread.

 

[iyousif]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, for keeping our Nexus alive.
I shall flash this when I get back home and report back!
Thanks again. Nexus 6 deserve this kind of efforts and you deserve even more appreciation.

 

[H4X0R46]

So my device is already unencrypted, I've always ran my shamu that way. Do I still need to format my userdata or is it good to flash? Thanks! @Myself5

Also, Magisk working for root?

I _should_ be fine, but I can't guarantee it. I would recommend making a backup. Better be safe than sorry.

Magisk should be working fine.

I'm trying to get as much information about that issue as possible as it's really bugging me, lol.

The second I swiped for home screen after boot up, I got a notification it was in Airplane mode, but the mode wasn't enabled so I toggled the Airplane mode on and then off.. . I got LTE signal after that just fine.

 

[Tenzinjamyang]

can anyone share some screenshots? home recents..... thanks

 

[H4X0R46]

Magisk should be working fine.

Alright, so I flashed it, and I am (expletive here) impressed! This build runs so freaking well! I'm gonna continue to test and see what I find, but so far this is running awesomely! I'll report back. Thanks man!

 

[crySilent]

Don't try to encrypt? What is there to encrypt, and how can I avoid it? I would love to try pie on nexus, but I don't understand if I should be avoiding certain apps or actions

 

[The Doctor04]

I know you are saying I need to wipe /data if encrypted, but don't I need to wipe /internal storage too? This is awesome to see these rolling out so quickly, you guys are brilliant!

 

[mahir555]

nice effort thank you. waiting for the stable release to see some customizations built in it. Thanks guys.
