[ROM] [7.1.2] [OFFICIAL] CarbonROM WEEKLIES [05/23] [d2spr/d2refreshspr]

[madbat99]

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?

Gestures does the same for me, just noticed when you mentioned. Also hotspot isn't working. It turns on, and connects, but no data.

Just installed (d2spr version). Flashed with twrp 3.0.2 and used open gapps stock... Installed perfectly, took about 10 minutes on the first boot. On second setup screen it was asking me to insert a sim card, but in the status bar I could already see the data signal cycling around, once it stayed on 4g I just skipped the sim card thing and moved on from there and the setup was completely smooth.

So far so great...I'm really impressed, this is a really nice, quick and w/ a lot of customization's. Thanks for spending the time making it, it really does show.

As madbat99 pointed out earlier I also had the hotspot issue, it broadcasts and I can connect but once connected the ip4/ip6 settings were blank and no data was passed. The tether option does work though.

Gonna try GPS out later.

GPS works fine here. Loving substratum themes on my phone (played with them on my Nexus 9 but much better on phone). ROM is not rooted (like most now) and using magisk, passed safetynet without issue.

Yeah GPS worked perfect for me as well...Camera and Bluetooth all good as well. I haven't messed with substratum, I kinda like the overall look it has but I'll probably get into it at some point.

I think I have some major researching to do. I'm not rooted either, and seems my supersu is gone, does it have issues on 7.1 roms? Is root access no longer necessary these days? Keep seeing devs take out root but tbh I'm not really sure why.

I am unfamiliar with magisk but I didn't see it in my app drawer now, but I know for sure, that before I deleted AICP's 7.1 I did have magisk in the app drawer while on that rom, and I was rooted but not on Carbon it seems.

I just started researching magisk, the first line... "The Universal Systemless Interface, to create an altered mask of the system without changing the system itself." Looks like I got a lot to get updated on.

Yeah this ROMs not rooted. Just flash SuperSU or magisk. Magisk is just another superuser control. It masks itself in case you need to hide root from another app. For instance Android pay won't work on rooted device, or super Mario run. If you don't need to hide root, just flash SuperSU and you're rooted.

Oh ok I got you, think I'm going to try magisk out this time. Did this roms auto updater ask you to download an update, I have it in my update still because it seems to be the same as the initial install file so I skipped out on the install.

6/13 is the newest, so if you're running that your good.

Running 6/20 build, hotspot still not working.

Running 6/20 build, hotspot still not working.

I'm still looking into this. Does it occur on other roms or only carbon?

On LineageOS, Vanir, and Commotio it was working last time I checked. Been running carbon for a few weeks so I haven't checked the others since then. Haven't tried octos in a while. Even without hotspot, I'm really diggin this ROM, all the goodies I like and good battery life too. Weekly updates are great too. Thanks for keeping D2 going.

I'm gonna try the others and see if hotspot is working. Not enough hours in the day to do all the tinkering I used to do.

 

[madbat99]

@frap129 hotspot working on octos. Still not on carbon with latest update. Anything else I can do to help? Logs or anything

I got the rom to install, but where do I find a gapps that works with this rom?

Any 7.1x gapps you like. Try these
Go to first post in that thread.

I used opengapps 7.1 stock and It's been perfect.

Is the OTA updater working for you? I tried to use it once or twice but keep getting a force close....since everything seems to be working fine as is, it's not a huge thing for me but I'll probably mess with it again later on.

Are you on the latest Magisk?

I never used the ota updater. I checked it out though, if it forces close try clearing the cache and data for the updater.
Yes I'm on the latest magisk. All was good. I needed hotspot to work so I had to go to octos yesterday. Everything in this ROM is exactly what I want in a ROM, but I need hotspot to use my Nexus 9 on the road. I have a 45 minute drive to work and I watch the news and other things on the drive (dish Network, dish anywhere).

Our OTA Updater app is currently broken, we're working on a better implimentation. Still looking into the hotspot issue, though I dont know what the problem could be without a proper log

I'll flash back over this weekend (if time allows) and grab you some logs.

 

[koobie777]

Navbar covers Snapchat buttons any plans on putting single tap options on hardware buttons? Or more navbar button options?

 

[madbat99]

Did the hotspot issue ever get figured out? @frap129


Actually I realized I never did get logs for you, sorry dude. Life got busy, working looooooong hours. 70+ hours a week.

Possible Addition

Hello, and thank you for this ROM. Just one question though, would you be willing to apply a patch to the kernel in order to support HID devices? I have the patch file, but I have no experience in compiling kernels or else I would have done it by now myself.

If you are willing I can send you the file. I do know that the patch is the same kernel version as what this ROM has (3.4).

Even if you say know, thanks anyway.
