• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • 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

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!

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) Join our Discord server! There, you can connect with other Carbon users and our developers, and you can get quicker responses to your bug reports. The invite link is right below.

We recommend MindTheGApps. OpenGApps should work, but please make sure you clearly mention the gapps you're using when reporting bugs.

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!

Q n A

Official weeklies are out! Get them from the "Get CarbonROM" link in the OP.

BUGS:

-> You tell me.

CHANGELOGS:

You can visit https://carbonrom.org/changelog to view the changelog.

FAQs (Please read before posting questions):

Q: Does the ROM support OMS and theming with Substratum?
A: Yes it does! Simply enable "Allow untrusted overlays" from Settings -> CarbonFibers -> Privacy and Security and follow the instructions that follow.

Q: Is the camera good?
A: The ROM uses the device tree from Lineage OS. Expect similar quality. Feel free to install the Google Camera port for the best pictures from your camera. You do not have to install the front cam HDR fix Magisk module with Carbon.

Q: Do I need to make a factory reset before installing this ROM?
A: If you're moving from cr-5.1 official builds to cr-6.1 builds, then a factory reset is recommended. Some have been able to dirty flash their way from cr-5.1 to cr-6.1, but before trying that, make sure you have a backup, in case you're caught in a bootloop. Clean install is ALWAYS recommended. If you face any issues after dirty flashing, clean flash first and see if it's persistent and only then report the bug.

Q: Does the ROM work on both the Mi3 and Mi4?
A: Yes it does.

Q: Is the ROM rooted by default?
A: No, please flash your favorite root solution after installing the ROM.

Q: Does the camera work?
A: It does.

Q: Do I need to make a factory reset before installing this ROM?
A: If you're installing it for the first time, YES, a full factory reset is required. If you're moving from an unofficial build to official weeklies, A FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED. Otherwise, dirty flash would work fine. If you have any issues with Google apps crashing, flash your gapps again.

Q: SafetyNet?
A: Sure, if you use Magisk and enable Magisk hide.

Thank you again for the great ROM

After a few hours using it I have found these issues on my Mi4 Lte.

- When talking to someone the other person ears an echo. Issue with the mic maybe...
- If the other person disconnects/ends the call on my device the call keeps going. (doesn't detect that the other person ended the call).
- No button leds (not even charging).

Everything else is great. It's fast, smooth, no crashes so far.

One more thing I miss (not a bug) is the wake on device with the volume keys but again that is not a bug but a feature that will probably be added in the future.
Once again a big thanks to the dev.

Review after using this rom 1 day

Ok i flashed this rom yesterday and today i used it and here's some review:
1. Battery isn't bad but it could be better, i got 3 hours 25 min SOT from 95% to 35%.
2. Performance is good, better than MIUI 8.3.1(latest developer rom)
3. Audio Quality is bad of course because of the lineage source you use, but when i tried to install viper4arise or something similiar, the viper itself crashed. it also happened on RR Oreo and Nitrogen Oreo..
EDIT: I installed viper via magisk and it worked!!! thank god... for proof see below screenshot :p
4. The fast charging didn't work for me(maybe because of my charger brick maybe from the rom itself) FYI i used the original charger brick and the original cable too but i only got 1000mAh++ never reached 2000mAh(fast charging)(see the screenshot below)
5. Offline charging working perfectly
6. Setting up pin/password is good (dunno why ppl faced freezing issue)
7. Camera is decently good, i used MIUI cam.
8. Deepsleep is working :D (see screenshot below)

Now it is time for the bug and some missing feature :
1. When i was in call, the other person hears an echo of my sound. Thanks to @necrotalis for finding this bug
2. Button light not working and missing option for that
3. IT'S HARD to answer the call (swipe up to answer), i have to swipe 3 times or more to answer the call ( change the DPI to small fixed the issue)
4. Please add LED option in the rom
5. LED while charging isn't working
6. If the other person disconnects/ends the call on my device the call keeps going. (doesn't detect that the other person ended the call). Thanks to @necrotalis for finding this bug
7. false charging information on the lockscreen (always show charging rapidly) ( see the screenshot below)
8. phone is heating very fast even i used it for a basic task
9. Whatsapp video call broken(dont work)
so this is my review, sorry if i didn't find much bug because this rom is almost perfect :p peace out
