yes and good
but you should try for yourself, it all depends on where you are coming (f)ROM...
the only thing I personally miss, when compared to e.g. SlimBean are custom brightness levels

If you mean battery loss after 5 hours of typical usage (e.g. movies, internet etc.) it's normal for any ROM.
If this battery loss happens during standby, then the problem lies somewhere in your setup and you should check betterbatterystats app and thread for help (on my device the estimated battery current in standby is usually below 10mA).

The rom is already compiled with Bernhard R (the guy with the long hair/beard from linaro) 's personal toolchain he built FOR google. We compile with googles GCC 4.7 which is about 3 commits different than the linaro TC, our rom actually WILL compile with the linaro toolchain, just a couple of nexus devices dont like it as much...So instead we use 4.7 ....For your kernel we have to use an older toolchain to help modem stability..

great job mate ,, but the battery drain is horrible i mean i just browsed the internet for like an hour but i will try to fix it
i love this ROM mate ,, but facing a little problem with PIE
i'm surprised its not rated 100000 stars

Ops.... I did a little mistake :/
Anyway I will try this rom as soon as possible.. It sound promising
Thanks for your work :thumbup:

 

[nickshertzer]

Woohoo! My request got merged as of CARBON-JB-EXP-17MAR2013-075940-n7000.zip! Thanks nocoast!

I have no idea why this ROM doesn't get more love on XDA... It is currently more stable then any of the other PACMAN style ROMs (the ones that combine AOKP, CM, PA tend to have systemUI crash / system stability).

Might be that the OP doesn't detail all the little things that are in this ROM. OTA Updates via Goo Manager, Stylus gestures, Nav bar / Status bar transparency, eight built in battery styles (circle, dotted, speedo, square, etc) all with adjustable color, breathing SMS / missed call, transparent lockscreen, blacked-out mode configured via toggle, xposed per app dpi built in... and that is just the tip of the Carbon iceberg.

Well, loving the nightlies. Goo.im keeps telling me an update is available and I keep trying to find all of the little merges and changes that make my day

 

[Qwerty123 \m/]

I agree this is the most stable PACMAN type of ROM.
Waiting for the hard and stable 1.5 release
Thanks Dev

Fantastic ROM

Congratulations.

I am interested in this ROM and have been keeping my eyes on this thread for a while now.

I did ask a question in Toxic's thread which went unnoticed and then I was a bit wary to ask questions in case I would be told off.

You are right, there is a lack of information about this ROM and I found it difficult to find the relevant information. Ideally I would like to see more updated information in the OP rather than navigating to three different sites (XDA, Goo, G+).

I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions please...

1. What is the maximum free memory after a boot up with and without gapps?

2. Which recovery program is recommended for this room?

3. What email client is shipped with this ROM?

4. Has this ROM been tested with OpenPdroid?

5. Does this ROM offer better battery performance than the stock, without downloaded apps?

6. Would this ROM ever get Linux 3.4 kernel?

Thank you in advance.

I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions please...

I don't know that you were asking me, but as you quoted me, I guess I will reply as best I can...

1. What is the maximum free memory after a boot up with and without gapps?

Kind of a strange question... Do you really ever run without gapps? I have >150 right now, fully loaded (Nova, Maps, FB, etc). Without getting into the whole "free ram is wasted ram" mantra, I'll just leave you this link:
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/238-why-do-i-have-less-memory-free-on-my-device

2. Which recovery program is recommended for this room?

The kernel is infamously tethered to the recovery on the GT-N7000 hardware. The included kernel has CWM 6.0.2.9, the same as CM 10.1.

If you mean which is the best kernel to be on in order to flash this ROM properly, I guess flash the CM 10.1 kernel from this thread, reboot recovery, and then wipe and flash.

3. What email client is shipped with this ROM?

AOSP Email v 4.1

4. Has this ROM been tested with OpenPdroid?

Sorry, no idea

5. Does this ROM offer better battery performance than the stock, without downloaded apps?

Yes. YMMV

6. Would this ROM ever get Linux 3.4 kernel?

No idea. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39015796&postcount=5

Apologies but 1.2.3.5.6 are unanswerable and hence we dont provide the data in the OP and to 4, i dont know what openPdroid is so i havent tested with it, perhaps it would be better to ask whoever makes openPdroid if their software is compatible with a 4.2.2 aosp rom as thats what this is..

as to 4: I tried to run pdroid autopatcher over SB, but it finished with errors, so I'd suggest LBE for now

Thank you for your response and answers.

I totally disagree with "free memory is wasted memory". I understand many Android users think that way too and so called experts are missing the points too. More free memory means in any given OS session user can crunch more data and faster (i.e. loading a web page in a new tab, opening a large pdf file, opening email program, unzipping a large file, streaming data). Many Android apps start itself after a boot complete to launch faster once the user tab on its shortcut. These apps are wasting the memory by holding on to them whether the user use them or not. I'm referring to the apps that have no justification other than giving users a sense that the apps launch quickly.

This ability was essential for early days of Android when CPU power was very limiting but these days doing so will be waste of precious memory capacity. I actually uninstall any apps holding the memory of phone hostage with no good reason.

I extracted the following from your link. "So all is fine and you do not have to be afraid that you run out of memory." This is more of a bad design to me. This is not practical in real world and I have often found my browser being shut down while downloading few files while acrobat reader remained active and the memory wasn't even critically law.

Android limits the number of background processes to four, at least in ICS, and this is Android's way to compact the law memory scenarios. I have 460MB free RAM on my Note after a boot up and I have to constantly shut down apps in Task Manager to avoid getting my critical processes crashed by Android when I still have 200MB+ free memory for instance. I would be so pissed off if I had a phone with 2GB of RAM today and I had to deal with only four processes at a time. Just for the record, I have managed to get 600MB free memory on a CM10.1 based ROM for my Motorola Atrix phone with only my essential apps installed.

I hope things are changed in Android 5 how Android decides which and how resources should be freed. Maybe this idea of mine is more practical. Any background processes that were started by a user and are inactive would remain in memory for a giving period of time and after the expiration period the process would be hibernated to the disk, freeing the memory, for as long as the OS session is running. Just thinking loud...

Thank you for your response. I was hoping someone in the carbon team may have tried openpdroid for compatibility, otherwise, I know where to go next.

OpenPDroid is a system level privacy protection layer enabling downloaded and system apps to be configured not to access sensitive data from a device.

Thank you for sharing this info. Yes, I have been using LBE forever.

Nightly Updates

Beautiful ROM, thanks to all developers,I come from CM10.1. Only one question: what is the procedure to perform the update to the new nightly release?
It's correct that to install the new nightly release I should also reinstall the GoogleApps and I'll be prompted for my credentials for the play store?
Thanks again.
