ok...cool....I sent you a PM about it....

 

[TrainNanpaMaster]

Does not work. Tried that!

Send from my C64 using load "*", 8,1 and run!

Bro, you should be throwing on Nova, or Holo Launcher hd asap.....trebuchet (aosp launcher) is smooth, but hardly customizable.

 

[cezeff]

^^^^^^^^ exactly what he said....i prefer Nova but to each his own....Action Launcher has slowly but surelt getting better and the developer is really good at responding to requests and questions.....

I just want to have one home screen, that's it. I don't need tons of options I don't use! It's even possible on stock. Why I can't do that on carbon? Big minus!

There's a free version of nova, just get it. Easy fix =)

Lol exactly. You're making this too complicated
bro. There's no better launcher than Nova atm.


Even if you're on stock...you should still be using
Nova....

LOL i'm gonna go and contradict myself now. For some reason Nova launcher doesn't play well with this
3.4 kernel/Carbon 22nd Nightly, at least not the beta. I installed Holo HD, and voila, buttery smooth, no issues. Highly recommended
until Nova gets updated

 

[remidesroques]

NOVA is da Bomb and what I love the most is that if you use the original launcher, it is hard to make a backup while in Nova, all you have to do is hit backup in the settings and Voila, you can restore all your icon, widgets etc in a second.

it's not full of options, it's full of awesome options!!!!

Is anyone else experiencing random reboots with the new kernel on the stable version of Carbon? I actually like Carbon and the new kernel outside of the issue that my google apps won't let me download certain apps.

im bout to flash the latest Rootbox ROM with the new kernel and see how it goes.....from what i remember the new kernel is a nightly.... hopefully its hit or miss with other ROMs when it comes to bugs.....

Diff you use the previously posted carbon ROM? If so it's the version with the 3.0 framework not the 3.4 version.

Week if he's using the new kernel with the old framework it might cause problems.

Previously posted where? There have been a few previously posted carbon rom files.

I'm pretty sure all the ones on this thread are 3.0. That was why everyone wanted them. We didn't have the 3.4 kernel until this week.

Edit: the latest one by remi is 3.4 I believe. I tried it but I think I got a bad download. Got the black screen. Tried going back to the old version but I got a bunch of errors. Had to do a full wipe to fix it.

Well I posted the 3.4 one prior to Remi although I'm not sure how well it worked for everyone.
I noticed there is now a 5/24 nightly for carbon which I'm going to download and convert.
I'll post the results later.

When updating to a newer nightly, do we need to do a complete wipe just like it's a brand new rom?

Recook it and try again. Watch really closely for red text.

Edit: where did you get the original ROM from?

I got the ROM from the Carbon thread. I'll try cooking it again soon.

Edit:

Redownloaded the Carbon ROM (d2att 1.7) from the Carbon goo.im and didn't get any red text at all. Did a clean wipe of everything (factory reset, cache partition, dalvik and battery stats), flashed the ROM, the kernel and GApps in that order. Once I get a chance to play around with it and get my settings back I'll report if it still random reboots.

Believe it or not, the Carbon 24th Nightly is more stable than 1.7. It's awesome, and with newer features. As for the random reboots, that is completely normal. The 3.4 roms are still in their infancy, as it's brand new state of the art technology. People on the ATT/T-Mobile forums reporting the same thing.

So yesterday i went into a rom/flashing fiesta. I tried the newest PACman, LiquidSmooth, Task AOKP, newest Rootbox, and Slimbean. They are all still not as good as carbon. Liquid's was the closest. One thing that was the same across all roms is; if i rebooted my phone, audio would be lost. It was driving me nutts, and pissing me off. That tells me it's because of the kernel. Luckily, I have found a definitive workaround:

'Rebooting' seems to cause the loss of audio. If you 'Power Off' the device, then turn back on, audio stays every single time . If you lose audio from a random reboot, power off, turn back on, and your audio should return. So happy to have discovered that.

On a change of topic, chrome beta was updated and it came with some amazing features. If you type 'chrome://flags' into the address bar, you can enable bleeding edge state of the art features like SPDY/a4 and experimental canvas. It makes chrome even more amazingly fast and smooth. I enable all features except "render layer borders, and performance monitoring'. Amazing browser.

Also forgot to mention, there is a new gapps package, courtesy of Task.It's awesome, fully updated with newer features. You can
