• 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.

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!

Yes I had LTE but no vice or txt every txt would fail and calls work stay attempting to dial
@Rev3ge07 were you in LTE? Perhaps carbon has the same bug CM had.

Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The LTE handoff bug was present in the 1/30 build. The commit was merged for the 1/31 build, and has been fixed ever since. I have used the 1/31 build, and just dirty flashed to 2/04 last night. Did you clean flash(system as well)? Other than that, you could try flashing a stock ROM(I'd personally recommend ZV8 over ZVA, but that's just me) and update profile, then flash back to AOSP. If all that fails, the only other thing I can think of is updating the radios TO THE DECEMBER ZV8 RADIOS, NOT ZVA. IF YOU FLASH ZVA RADIOS YOU WILL BRICK.

The only big bug that I could find is that video(Youtube, stock video player, etc.) will not play. It will play audio, but the feed is frozen and the tracker jumps 4 seconds at a time. D80X is also reporting this issue. Either way, fine show indeed! :good:

No Data connection

Hello! Thanks for a great ROM!
I have issue with Internet, it's just not connecting. I have data on stock and Omni Rom and can't enable it on any other AOSP Rom.
I use NV ram to connect to the network.
Any idea? Thanks!

Trying out the ROM, great so far.


Bugs I found so far. In the Lockscreen>General tab. The See through option doesn't seem to be working.

I was wondering the same thing.
I am also not able to download any of the nightlies. I keep getting some sort of network error message. "Failed- Network error"
