CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the CyanogenMod and 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, 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.

Screenshots will follow later today.

It is official, I'm one of Carbons Core Devs, however the zip is named unofficial due to me not having changed it yet. (UNOFFICIAL is the standard zip name unless you change it, which I forgot to do)

Diesvit include m5 kernel feature

No, I did use CM Kernel here, as I don't want to force everyone into using M5 Kernel and it's just 1 more zip to flash if wanted.

Found a bug
Screen unpinning dosent work
and navigation bar colour/tint doesnt change

 

[yot2703]

Looks ok for me now...

 

[earthtk]

Not sure if it relates to the rom or something else.. I was trying to transfer some stuff from my sd card to my internals using my computer. Suddenly it failed half way and the next moment my entire sd card and internal memory got wiped.

Oh ya one more thing there is no option for me to safely unmount OTG storage.

EDIT: Hmm stupid qn but how do I change the wallpaper on my lockscreen? Don't see the option in lockscreen settings.

Tested it out. Mostly looks and works great.

Major show-stopping bug: the navigation bar goes blank in landscape, and is useless. It returns in portrait.

I'll keep using Slim until that's fixed.

THX Myself5 for this nice rom ... :good:

 

[Borz93]

At the moment, all works perfect. Kernel M5 and this rom. Thanks developer.

Thanks, I've been waiting for this as I have been using Carbon KK as a daily driver. I do notice two issues:

• Xposed won't install the framework, am I missing something.
• Bluetooth is a bit flaky. Last night bluetooth switched itself off and I had to reboot to get it back.
• There does not seem to be a way to add a reboot to recovery option in the power meny (maybe I need to get Xposed to work).

Cheers,
Fred

Normal Xposed dont work. Try super alpha xposed (This is compatible for Android 5.1)
For recovery reboot in power menu, you must first enable in developer options.

My subsequent (to my post) reading of the xposed threads say that it is not working for 5.1 yet (I was just about to post an apology for not checking first). I will search for super alpha.

I will look for the reboot menu in the developer options, thanks.

I think my bluetooth issue could have been a bad pairing with my watch. I re-paired it and things seem to be better.
