  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

Who's back? We're back.

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

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) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

Remember, every penny you send to us goes right back into the rom. It's used for hardware, server costs, etc - all the things that help us make Carbon better with every release. Your support means the world to us! If you've enjoyed Carbon, please consider a donation toward this goal. Thank you, and we hope you continue to enjoy Carbon!

Oh man, who do we thank?

There are just so many roms out there that have been a part of the crafting of this project.
Big shout outs to AOKP, Dirty Unicorns, Pure Nexus, and all CarbonROM team members for the rom features.
Also thanks to Flash ROM and AOSPA for their changes that make the rom fly.
Thanks to all the donators who help keep servers running

Thank you. Been running this rom for a few hours, learning the ins and outs of it. I wish it would detect the sim card though. Any pointers on that would be appreciated. Again, thank you I'm looking forward to this rom!

Ok, Thought of it, but didn't think to use it at this preliminary stage. I 'd been using Magisk with some other ROMs, so maybe I'll try that then. Thanks for the ROM it's ...."Responsive" and thanks for the advice. Keep it up. I loved the KitKat version and still have a backup copy of it on sd. Awesome!

Just grabbed an AT&T SIII for my wife to use for a bit as her S6 Active died yesterday (water damage...after two years of baths, showers and pools...on an S6 Active...*sigh*) and am looking for a ROM to run as I had forgotten how much GARBAGE old Android devices came with. Will keep an eye on this as the SIM card is somewhat important. lol

Ok! So the latest weekly (20170530-0823)has solved the SIM Bug Although I haven't actually made a call yet, just downloaded it, dirty flashed and I realized that the I had sim recognition, did a check on my balance and that worked.
The previous Magisk Manager.zip I flashed on other ROMs doesn't seem to be working with this one and now that Magisk Manager has been removed from the Play Store the best way is to install XDA Labs and download it from there.

I'm still unsure about your magisk issue, as I'm using it just fine, but I'm glad to hear that the Sim bug has been fixed!

Been hoping carbon would come back, my favorite since droidx days....
We're back and better than ever!

Well regarding the 'Magisk issue'; for some reason, when I do certain tasks, in certain apps, I get the report that I have no Root! And I've also discovered that after reboot the same thing applies so I'm trying to isolate the culprit, could be an app! I've since installed Root Checker to make doubly sure as to the status of the device at all times, so I too am still unsure.

This rom is awesome, very fast. I tested most functions, and the only real issue was the compass, which is way off and caused navigation to be wild, that's a deal breaker. It didn't recognize my titanium files on my ext sdcard, so I moved them to internal. The vanilla music didn't see my music by default, although poweramp did, manually selecting the folder in vanilla worked. I also didn't get root with no frills cpu, all other root apps worked tho. If the compass worked, I'd ditch intergalactic.. This rom is snappy and smooth as butter.
