[ROM][JB-4.3.1] &#10026; Carbon ROM &#10026; Nightly Beta Development Build 2



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.

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.

Features
Simply stated, we can't really list features here. There are too many and they change too frequently, and we now support a truly insane number of devices. Chances are, if you like a feature, we have it already. Seriously. But here is one for now:

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

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) Join our G+ Community: http://community.carbon-rom.com This is where we spend the bulk of our time and the best way to reach us and other community members. We update and frequent this community far more than XDA, simply due to time constraints and the convenience of G+.

5) 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.

Please note : post your questions about the rom in the q and a thread.. Don't clutter the discussion thread with questions like "What is working and whats not?", "How is batttery?", etc.. I will straight away ignore it.. As it is already mentioned it is still BETA and I'll need your help to make this perfect.. All questions will go in respective thread, all bug reports will go in the respective section and if you have solution to bugs then post in discussion thread.. I don't want posts saying "Gona try this rom soon :D" , "I am very excited about this", etc.. I know but with all due respect I am saying this.. Otherwise this doesn't fulfill the purpose of creating a DevDb thread..

I hope I am clear enough and I look forward for your support in making this a perfect ROM for Neo V.. :)

Thanks,,..

Regards,
vishak_android freak

Some feedback

Nice rom but battery drain very fast on 3g ..............
Not only on 3g. I'm on 2g and it just went all the way down on standby. But you can't expect much from an early build. I'm sure future builds will definitely be more stable and great for daily use. The features are about the same as BeanStalk, but i like the feel of Carbon. The phone also slows down abit. Other than that, great rom.
