Hello guys!
In this thread I'll present an new ROM for Nokia X/XL (normandy). This is an unofficial build, so this not supported by CarbonDev team.

What is 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

We would like to thanks to 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, 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

I am liking it

Please note that I have a weird Nokia XL. Working very well on this phone. It is actually the most stable 4.4.4 on my phone. The only three issues are:
1. Camera not working on this phone. All patches for camera are currently not working on my phone anyway. For whatever reason. I am thinking to reinstall stock ROM and then flash this.
2. Radio not there at all which I have realised is common for most cynogenmod custom rom.
3. I am finding it difficult to select 3G in the prefered network type settings. It is fixed on 2G.

:):eek::D

Flash the rom only after doing Wipe, use twrp recovery to get everything right

ART working?
I have tried changing to ART, phone reboots but doesn't change .
I have verified data/property/persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib in text editor and still says libdvm.so means Dalvik.

Not sure about Carbon Rom. I am using CM11 and above behavior is on CM11 rom
