• 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

About Carbon

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 at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub. and on our Gerrit CarbonDev Gerrit.

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, PA, 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.

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.


Who is Team Carbon?

Carbon Team


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!

Got the Carbon downloader and downloaded the 2/5 nightly. When I tried to (dirty) flash 2/5 over 2/3 after wiping cache and Dalvik (per the usual), everything went fine, but when the ROM booted it said something like "unable to perform Encryption, please perform a factory rest of your phone by pressing the button below". Any ideas? I went back to 2/3 until I can figure out what's up. Not really thrilled with starting from scratch at the moment, does anyone feel me?!?!?

You can wipe cache, dalvik and system, but not data. This will leave all of your apps, widgets, and settings in place. Also, check the md5 and make sure it's not a problem with your download.

I've been dirty flashing for years I just don't know why all the sudden the encryption thing pops up because my partitions are not encrypted. The rom looks like it flashes fine just like any other nightly before.

Just a heads up for everyone looking to try this ROM or update to a new nightly, Carbon team is moving to a brand new server, and downloads will be sporadic/nonexistent for a little while (maybe the rest of the week according to their blog post). Read about it here:

I have downloaded all of the nightlies to this point, let me know if you want me to upload one and I can PM you a link. Carbon was the best 4.3 ROM available prior to KitKat, and they have continued that trend with their current releases. Amazing work by the Carbon team!

Is 4G working on the 2/4 nightly? I flashed last night but have not had 4G all day. Could be they are doing some work on it here just not sure if its ROM related or sprint.

I'm at work right now but I had previously posted a couple of them over on Android Forums for the Virgin Mobile and Boost users.
If you go to the subforum for rooted users of this phone over there, the thread is called Official Carbon KitKat Nightlies. Otherwise, if you can wait until late tonight I can pm you some links.
