Normal camera only (not Gcam). I prefer you use OpenGAps nano version since I'm using that now....

Thanks for building this rom . Looking forward to it

No. You can use gesture though

nice work! CarbonROM has always been one of my favorite custom ROMs and it's great to see someone has built a Q version of it for Mi A1.

Having tested it, there are a couple of issues though:
1. The hardware buttons back light are not turned on.
2. Sometimes I have to flick all the way up to unlock the screen. I understand that's how it is in vanilla AOSP, but it would be nice to have it fixed like in LOS.

For the first issue it's the problem with the ROM source I have told them about it hopefully will get a fix. The second issue I been issue I have been experiencing it with other ROMs though...I think it's normal...

 

[victordoom]

Some ROMs do have it fixed like LineageOS or RevengeOS.
And oh, for some reason my LTE doesn't work on this ROM. Like, it recognizes the carrier and I can make normal phone calls. But the data for internet browsing doesn't work.

I noticed that issue for my device too. But mobile data works for my other testers...I'm finding a solution....

I managed to solve mine...It seems like your APN (Access Point Name) is empty you have to add that manually

it can be because while building you haven't selected common_full_phone.mk
(in your device tree .mk file)
the one it calls from vendor i.e
$(call inherit-product, vendor/carbon/config/common_full_phone.mk)
(might you have selected small package that resulted this ) that config is for tablets or mini phones who don't have sim card support
good luck ?

Well Carbon ROM does not have common_full_phone.mk in their vendor sadly. I will try to add that manually. Thanks for the tips!

Are the button backlight bug and the lockscreen bug fixed?

I'm still finding a solution for button backlight but the lock screen bug doesn't appear in my device though

 

[victordoom]

It's not really a bug, it's actually a feature that backfired. Basically in other ROMs I just have to swipe up very gently for the screen to unlock, but for this one, I have to swipe all the way up (otherwise it just bounces back to the bottom of the screen).

It's mentioned here in the article:
https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-lock-screen-swipe-gesture-issues-android-81-oreo/amp/

Turning a flag off before you compile the ROM basically fixes it.
