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.

Great team for a great device !

So let me do my first feedback :
- very smooth, better than MIUI 10
- charging battery is very very slow
- Need to flash 2 times Magisk
- WiFi desappear after start or reboot (I would like to keep it at start)
- No need SMS/MMS app
- dark theme is not working

That is my first feedback. I haven't test radio yet.

Nice job, thank you !

So now everyone will copy @GuaiYiHU work just building more and more custom roms but all with the same working/notworking list. Nice spam
Thats not right i created a complete New tree for clover only some commits are from him. Most of the work i did on my own. I see no reason to use him as i use a common sdm660 for Wayne clover and jasmine with a device tree to support all device releated Stuff

BT audio is not working.
THX for reporting will check that

I see zero problems with this. Good work gets credit and is used by others. Why would you want to force GuaiYiHU to maintain dozens of roms?

Sad to see so much hate for Xiaomi's decisions to finally open source their code for developement and sharing excitement with development of different user experiences.

Any chance of having real full-screen gesture like OxygenOS, MIUI?
I like AOSP but on-screen button doesn't make sense with tablets.

Yes those are from mi a2 release





Its fixed copy that file to /vendor/etc and override the existing one
I include the fix in next build


this didn't fix it for me. i went into root explorer and replaced the file that existed already. I pair with bluetooth and the problem is it just won't output the sound to the speaker or headphones. when you go to sound output the speaker or headphones are listed but it won't let you select either one. the sound comes out of the tablet speakers no matter what.

I think he and I were referring to a sudden influx of ROMs in development section, it happens to many devices with only couple of people actually working on a code and all others copying their code. It was always like that, nothing new under the sun.

There's no hate here :) and this ROM is good :)
