[ROM][AOSP][Unofficial]CarbonRom 2.0 beta[4.3.1][yuga][Oct 31]

[krabappel2548]

Why choose for CarbonRom?
CarbonRom is an AOSP based rom, which is always compiled with the latest linaro toolchain. The kernel also is compiled with -O3 optimizations for better performance. It also gives you a great option of customization. Reasons to go for CarbonRom are:
- Compiled with Linaro, this will make your phone ultrafast and ultrasmooth
- AOSP based, s no bloatware or other stuff
- Great Customization options
- Nice look
- HALO
- ...

Current Version

CarbonRom 2.0 is still in early stages, it's Android 4.3, but not all features are implemented!
I won't manually search for all new features, just wait for an official 2.0 changelog when it is completed.
- Android 4.3
- HALO
- DSP Manager
- New battery icons
- stability and speed enhancements
- a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.

What is CarbonRom?

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.

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, * * * * * @FXP, 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.

I'll continue building nightlies as much as possible.

Support

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 goo.im page linked above. *It's new, but expanding fast. *Just like us!

3) Ask a question here. 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.

Who is the Carbon maintainer for your device?

For you guys, Xperia developer is me only, Krabappel2548. I'm the only one working for Xperia devices, maybe I'll add more devices to my support list soon. Any donations are highly appreciated, I'll always use them for my development, to buy new devices

Android 4.2.2 stable version

1.7 is a pretty big update for us! Check out the changelog on our goo.im page for more, but here are the highlights:

-We've fixed PIE! It no longer decides to be invisible from time to time.
-We fixed the battery charge light! None of us use it but apparently you guys are just nuts for it!
-Dark Carbon! Huge props to Slim Roms for coming up with this unique and awesome feature.
-Lockscreen theming
-CM skinny battery is back!
-Volume key lock on silent mode option
-Backup tool - if you're flashing a new version of Carbon and already have the required version of gapps installed, it will be backed up and restored during install. This applies to system apps and custom host files as well. Please note that you should only dirty flash from Carbon to Carbon. It's ok if it's another version or a nightly - just not over other roms. Super handy for you crack flashers. Make sure you've got the most recent Gapps though, and if you're flashing from a factory reset, you'll still need to install it after install of course.
-Long pressing the "clear recents" button clears the cache
-3.4 kernel on D2xxx devices. It's finally stable enough where we're comfortable with this - remember to only flash other 3.4 kernels or it will not boot as there are rom-level dependencies.
-AOKP's awesome new navbar settings
-NFC polling mode for when you want to keep your screen off and scan tags
-MMS and call "breathe" feature. Makes the notification icon fade in and out.
-Mute dings when changing volume
-Disable/enable CRT effect on screen on/off.
-3rd party keyboard bug fixed
-deodexed again
-stability and speed enhancements
-a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.​

- NFC will be working now
- Reflash Carbon rom

 

[Jonster111]

Looks very promising! Hope to test this soon :good:

 

[tomanlam]

OMG it looks clean!!! cant wait to try

but i guess the first release is not usable as a daily driver, right? becoz home button and pie control don't work yet

Yes, I haven't had time to test it really good, it was 1am at night so I only did a quick test since it was late.
Didn't tested the release with gapps. Going to do more testing today, and will build a new nightly and try to solve some bugs

Download:
Download link added, it's yesterday's build! Enjoy the testing guys, after all, the more you test, the more bugs that will be found and can be solved

I don't know the CM bugs there is phablet, tablet and phone mode, but it doesn't work 100% yet, phablet works best I think.
Anyway, there is no bug like delay when turning on screen like in CM

Yes, sure, is a very pleasure can help you, this are the most important bugs that i found in 15 minute of test:

1) For some people there is no BB, it says "Baseband unknown".
Workaround -> Change Mobile Network to GSM/WCDMA and reboot

2) There is a little delay when you wake up the device after a long time it is in deepsleep

3) During call, put the call on speaker and the audio is on internal speaker is gone untill reboot.

anyway good work Grab, really :good:

 

[hmsq]

Can confirm that the Recovery from this ROM works with CM10.1, I did miss TWRP, so thanks for that, and at last the recovery actually reboots the system unlike the recovery from CM.

Thanks so much for this, looking forward to test out your ROM also.:good:
