First report from my side

Hi folx,

i have installed carbon rom and tried different things. The flashing works as it should - but during setting up the ROM i encountered a few stumbling blocks.

After installing calendar (why is it missing ?) i tried to put cLock Widget with calendar and weather feature , but cLock refused to show my calendar (maybe due to the missing app) and i have to wipe again + synchronise again and after a scond reboot it works as it should.
Running Walkman app i get strange stumbling sounds - after that i deleted dsp-manager and the special sony equalizer and after all that it works.
@ the moment i'm missing a lot of former features : Recent RAMbar; pie; vibrator strength is not working within Device tunalbe;

Performance Control is integrated in a clean manner and the overall fluidity is good, but compared to my experiences with the other KK ROMs (ADC-Team / M.O.W. ROM / Mokee) i would say it's a little slower. I have read a long time about the development in the carbon group on google+ . And there were a lot of problems mentioned during the last time - meanwhile it seems as if they have managed a turnaround and the basis was built . So the next developments from this team will also be very interesting.

A nice evening @ all and many THX @educk

OK, sorry for that, some complications occurred which caused the Camera app to FC.
Please push the attached Camera2.apk to /system/app/ (replacing the old one and giving proper permissions) as a workaround for this issue...

Code:
adb remount && adb push Camera2.apk /system/app/Camera2.apk
adb shell 
chmod 644 /system/app/Camera2.apk

yes u can use the devcon gapps with this version and also the zordan gapps. but i think zordan gapps have faced some strange issues. i would recommend using the devcon gapps package.

Hello Eric, I have installed your CarbonRom 4.4.2
It' very fine to work with :thumbup:

I installed your new camera and it worked.
But I have one serious issue.
When I take a link in tapatalk , the return doesn't go back to the beginning level, but one level higher. In SlimBean 4.3.1 it works.
Similar I had also errors with return back with chrome, sometimes it return one level higher, sometimes return level was forgotten.
Is that depending from carbon 4.4.2 (or cm11) or tapatalk ?

Is that an error in return-addresses from carbon/cm11 or tapatalk ?
