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.

Charging current is still low, by a half compares to stock rom. Maximum is 700mah (while in stock is over 1100mah) at range from 1% to 50%, almost time is around 500mah, so it took me over 3hrs (3h40p exactly) to fully charge from 20%.

Don't know exactly what I should reply on that. We used the CM Kernel for the Carbon Builds so I guess you get this problem on all CM based ROMs. You might want to try M5 Kernel, it has a option to enable fastcharge. Just watch out that you don't enable it when connection to a smaller charger / Your PCs USB port.

For locked bootloadee too?
No, it' a CM based Custom ROM and needs a different Kernel than Stock in order to work, so it won't work on LB.

What about camera in cm based roms? Is the quality like in stock (unlocked) rom?
Can't compare for sure, but most likely it's not as good from what I've read - Sony uses closed source camera firmware that makes their camera performance this outstanding. Unlocking the bootloader automatically erases the DRM keys that unlock the high end features of the camera firmware, thus lowering picture quality. But as you have to unlock the BL to boot a non-stock kernel...

The only thing that stops me from moving permanently to this or cm roms is the camera and battery life. The quality is far from what you will have with stock. Performance is excellent though, Nice and fluid and fast with a lot to customise but in my opinion I'd rather stay on stock for the camera and battery life

I am trying to install this from TWRP, and am probably doing something stupid, but the install errors with "E:Error executing updater binary in zip "/External_SD blah blah.zip".

Any thoughts? TIA!

EDIT:
I found that by installing the M5 kernel I could sideload the rom via ADB. Must be something with the DualRecovery and your ROM?.... sorry if this is posted somewhere.

Is battery life worse than stock?

Are you sure that your zipfile is downloaded correctly?
