  • 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.

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

Tested it out the other day. Very smooth very stable but I couldn't get data or make phone calls. I'm on virgin. Tried dirty flashing and everything with different apn fixes with no luck ☹

Yeah, I tried on virgin mobile too. No joy. Did the double/dirty flash and all, no data. It said no sim.

Same! I tried it last night, no data, no voice. Hopefully, there will be a fix soon. Looks like an awesome ROM otherwise.

I didnt notice this because my S3 is no longer activated. Looking into a fix now.

Regardless thanks for keeping the device alive you and the Oct os team are crushing it. Sidenote it would be nice to see close all but foreground app in recents, quick unlock when correct pin is entered on lock screen, scrollable small qs, couldn't remember if there was an auto brightness button next to brightness slider but these are all such handy features. If I could dev I'd do it myself lol but if it doesn't happen I'm still a happy camper.

I just stopped by to say thank you for this ROM. Best performance out of any 7.0+ ROM I've tested (way better than even LOS) and battery life is up there with one of the best I've seen too. Props to you and once again, thanks for this ROM.

Today's build has working data and phone capabilities if any was curious :)
I was definitely curious, thanks. What carrier are you on? I'm on virgin and, on vanir and commotio, the apn fix worked without the 2nd dirty flash. Hoping for the same here.

Edit: just noticed you said you were on virgin too.

Thanks for pointing this out! I've been trying to figure out the issue for weeks (but without an activated device, I cant test well). I'm shocked it works, as this build doesn't have any of the fixes I've tried, almost like magic that it works.

Yeah most of the roms have been working without dirty flash. It's nice.

I'm really liking this ROM. Has all the goodies I've been missing on lineage. Has all the stuff I miss about gravity box. Very nice work!

Passed safety net with magisk too.

Just installed the newest weekly, and loving it so far. I've noticed two things off the bat though, one is the gesture option in settings crashes as soon as selecting it so I can't set the screen to wake from a hand wave, and the other is I can't find an option to disable the hardware button lights. Am I just missing it?
