CarbonROM is an aftermarket firmware based on the CyanogenMod and 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 at, build, and use our code on CarbonTEAM GitHub.


We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.

Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, AOKP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.

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! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.​


Sources:
My own device source based off of kyasu's
Kyasu's device source
Note that both sources have the base for the roomservice.xml, so just copy paste from mine and you should be good to go :)



Downloads:
ROM
Gapps
SuperSU

Big thanks to @kyasu for providing device sources, I did modify them somewhat to make them compatible with building carbonrom. Huge thanks to LineageOS for providing some of the necessary files needed to compile!​

Seems to run great! Feedback is appreciated.

What works:
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- NFC
- Airplane Mode
- USB Tethering
- Sound
- Camera
- Video recording
- Microphone
- Root
- SMS & Call (and data I assume)
- MTP
- Idk you tell me


What doesn't work:
- Reboot recovery option from reboot menu
- Idk you tell me :)

Thank you! I will test later today. I tried dirty flashing on kyasu's lineageos 14.1, because I am lazy. Did not work (surprising right?).

I tested the rom for a little bit. No obvious major bugs, but since it is based on lineageos I assume it got the known lineageos bugs (which are not many though). Compared to lineageos this rom has of course more customization options (substratum and lots of settings) and a better browser (AdBlock :good: ). One little bug I found: Rebooting to recovery from power menu does not work.

Finally got the time to flash it, sound doesn't work as expected (I had some issues with that during compiling), I'll try a full recompile today and see if it fixes anything :)

Seems like I should have tried to play a song before writing "there are no major bugs" ;)

Oh yes that one, I had to take a little shortcut to get the ROM compiled. I'll see what I can do :)

Update:

- Camera app fixed :)p)
- Sim card is now detected, hurray!

I don't have the fastest uploading speed (I'm on vacation in Lebanon, speed is around 300kb/s) and I want to go through the ROM for a couple moar bugs and roaches (ie, I haven't tested the reboot to recovery etc) but once all that's complete, it should be good to go for a daily driver (I don't know if you should trust me, I used a beta version as a daily once haha).

That's the update so far :)

I was thinking of updating again, but I haven't gotten any response from my last build so I assume everything is working :/ Plus, I'm in Lebanon where the internet is kB/s but I was planning on updating the source the 1rst of august. Do you have any bug reports you want to send?
