Bootlooped on a dirty flash over Carbon, but was worth a try

oh and BTW I like the low DPI

Calls, GPS and camera all seem to work

Well I don't know if Carbon is on caf or not, but generally dirty flashing between 2 different roms is a bad idea. Thats good news, though I'm going to guess camera will be flaky (similar to honami) 80% of the time perfect then every once in a while driver won't initialize.

Even though I'm building carbon I'm not sure if it is using caf either... bit I have dirty flashed between the two before when I have had a building Slim with very few issues.

The camera seems to work 99% of the time in carbon, so I cant see why it should be any worse here. I do have a flickering screen in carbon when in video mode (maybe H/W overlays not 100%?) that isn't present in this build of Slim.

Edit:

I do know that carbon is using -caf as I had to change an include path to get past a not found .h

Slim had problems with some video playback (browser video or Netflix) would be green unless I disabled hw overlays, when we moved caf that git fixed and camera was less problematic.

Thanks a lot for another awesome firmware for the Z Ultra!!

Regarding the camera issue, I've been facing it on every custom firmware out there, and found a possible workaround (works for me, at least): as soon as the device boots, open the camera immediately, and it should open normally after a small delay / frame freeze. After that, it continues to work normally, without any freezes, until the next reboot. However, if you wait a while after boot before opening the camera, it will freeze with a static frame. Killing it will cause the "can't connect to camera" message to appear the next times you open the camera. And I've tested with different camera apps, it's the same thing.

Hope it helps to debug the issue.

Alright, currently running this as my main. No problems so far; Bluetooth, calling, LTE, Wi-Fi, and video all work completely. Haven't had a reason to use the camera yet, however.

 

[lobiik]

all seems to be working, but it doesn't read my SD card. It's an class4 a-data 32GB card formatted as exFAT, I'm backing up its content and will format it in phone (it does recognize it, but when I tap mount sd card, more options just flash below and then it goes back to 'mount sd card')

edit: no luck, it doesn't even format the card. When I reformatted it via card reader to FAT32 or NTFS, it was recognized, but with NTFS formatting it does not see any data, so I guess it's just exFAT/NTFS support that's missing

oh and with this dpi settings, digits in PIN entry are too close together (but still possible to type them in) - see http://i.imgur.com/sNmEGOJ.jpg

I was just going to say I could do it as I have the slim-caf repo already on the destop.

Are there any plans to support the GPe version or do you want me to do an unofficial version? I'm already doing [almost] weekly builds of Carbon for both the togari and togari_gpe.

I'm unclear on the difference, and didn't look at the gpe device folder. When I get my net all set up I'll take a look.

Not sure of the differences either, but as soon as I got Carbon togari to build the gpe built as well. There has only been a few little issues in the gpe build for carbon. although the last silm I built for the GPe didn't boot.

There only seems to be about 30 people downloading the GPe carbon so there may not be much of a call for it.
