Thanks @nitin for the recent update.
I'm so amazed every time how this ROM keeps giving life to my two N4s

This ROM is pretty smooth! If anyone has problems flashing bigger OpenGapps packages, I found the tip to use an OpenGapp release older than the ROM release to be the solution to successfully installing it. Or else, the phone will be stuck in the boot animation. I used the stock OpenGapps package with a lot of apps excluded to fit within the system partition so that might also be part of the problem.
On another note, does anyone have a problem with the Network selection? I am using a T-Mobile MVNO but the MVNO is not found when Preferred Network Type is LTE/3G. It is only found when Network type is 2G. But once it is found and registered on 2G, the phone can use 3G with no problem whatsoever, maybe except that the Network operator states T-Mobile instead of the MVNO and Voicemail notifications aren't working. When the SIM is inserted in a Stock 4.4.4 Nexus 4, it works correctly.

Is anyone else's sensors not working with this ROM? I mean almost everything: brightness, proximity, gyroscope, etc. Everything works fine on stock so I know it isn't my hardware.... Help?
Thanks for the help. Have it all working now. Totally weird that installing other ROMS first should matter, though... for me installing the Carbon 7.0 first worked. But now I can reflash 8.0 after wiping everything, including /vendor and /system and the internal memory... and resinstall Carbon 8.0 directly... and everything still works. What the ^$%#&did installing Carbon ROM 7 first change?!
Anyway, thanks for the tip.
Do we know if our beloved Nexus 4 will see Android 11?
it's crazy to think that Google stopped supporting it in 2014 after Lolipop 5.1.1 and yet, by the effort of some dedicated hardcore developers, we are still getting the latest software and security updates.

I don't think so - at least I'm not trying as the phone if almost dead now - screen was already acting up and battery is not lasting. It's shutting down abruptly.
Moreover not getting time to work on this stuff.

Really loving the smoothness. Thanks for keeping this old device up to date, nitin. Hope that you get to maintain N4 longer.
I just wanted to thank you for this ROM.
@nitin.chobhe and all carbon team.
Though it is old and probably most of us use it as a secondary device, some might not afford a new device or doesn’t need one. Especially Nexus 4 is still fine for some business use as 2nd phone (like calls, SMS and Whatsapp) and still enough for older people who doesn’t use all features.
I don’t know how hard or easy it would be to port Android 11 but I am really grateful for Android 10 support.
There are still people using Nexus 4 and I even prefer it some relatively newer Android devices, so would be really happy if I can see continuous support. But I respect the team’s decision if they don’t want to continue to support it any longer.

Hi, to those people experiencing "black" display in call and various issues with the dialer app locking the screen - I would suggest checking this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/solved-how-to-disable-nexus-4-proximity-t2558878. It is most likely the proximity sensor's issue. In my case I replaced the display and touch panel and after that the hole in the plastic frame between the screen and the sensor chamber lost its shape, which made the sensor to always operate as if there was something in the proximity. After slightly extending the hole the issue was fixed.

First of all, long time lurker here whose Nexus 4 is taken out of the drawer every now and then. Thanks to all devs involved to keep the device up-to-date while in addition having it still being snappy/responsive as well.
Bumping the request for dt2w from a few pages back. Would be great to see.
