[APP][4.0.3+] SuperBeam | Easy & Fast File Sharing with WiFi-Direct | NFC/QR Pairing
Quick update on 4.0: we've released a new version (4.0) on Google Play. I'll update the thread with features later on. Just a quick note on compatibility: we've dropped support for Gingerbread because it is becoming a huge obstacle towards developing the app. Apologies for inconvenience.
Quick update #2: If the QR scanner is not working for you after the new update, please DM me as soon as possible. I can see error reports on Crashlytics but no one reached to cooperate in resolving the issue.
SuperBeam is the easiest and fastest way to share files between Android devices using WiFi Direct (or tethering mode for older devices). Devices can be paired using QR Code scanning (with the included scanner) or NFC if available (just like Samsung's proprietary S-Beam).
Features:
Share files between devices using NFC or QR code scanning.
Blazing fast transfer speeds using WiFi direct.
Switches to hotspot mode automatically for devices that doesn't support WiFi direct.
Can use existing WiFi network connection between devices.
Share single or multiple files of any type (photos, videos, zip files, APK's... You name it!)
Share with devices that do not have SuperBeam using web interface.
Works with all 3rd party file managers and photo galleries.
Light and dark color themes.
Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majedev.superbeam
Get more, upgrade to PRO:
Get rid of ads.
Change the default saving location to any directory on any available storage (like external SD card).
Send and receive files to/from your computer through SuperBeam app for PC, using QR code or manual sharing key (get it from http://superbe.am) *
Send entire folders and preserve their hierarchy.
Pair devices using manual sharing key. This is particularly useful for devices that do not have a camera nor NFC (like Android TV's).
Share files with more than one device at the same time.
Send unlimited number of files through web interface, with the ability to download them all as a zip archive (with folders too!).
Share SuperBeam APK for those situations where there is no internet connection around. Makes life easier for your friends!
Automatically disable mobile data (3G/4G) connection while sharing with other devices, to prevent them from eating through your data plan.
Be SuperAwesome and support the future development of SuperBeam. This is just the beginning, and we have much more to surprise you with!
* Currently, SuperBeam for PC does not support WiFi Direct. Hence, both your computer and your Android device must be connected to the same WiFi network in order to share files.

A note about WiFi direct
SuperBeam creates an access point using Android's WiFi direct API's. This essentially works like hotspot mode in old devices, but it is guaranteed to work on newer devices like Nexus 7. Moreover, this mode allows older devices to connect and receive files without having to support WiFi direct's peer-to-peer connections and, more importantly, it gets rid of the annoying "accept connection" prompt.
Also, please note that this mode is currently supported by Android versions 4.1 and greater. On older versions, SuperBeam will fallback to the older hotspot mode.
If sending fails
Sometimes, WiFi direct doesn't play well when sending from some devices (especially those that have custom ROMs). Please follow these steps to switch to hotspot (tethering) mode if WiFi direct is causing you issues (on the sending device):
Open SuperBeam scanner.
Tap options > settings.
Tap Advanced settings > Preferred direct method.
Choose Hotspot.
Close SuperBeam and try sharing again.

Thanks for reporting back. I'll update the first post with N4 compatibility.
This is a new release that supports devices which do not have NFC. I've updated the original post with new info.
Any chance to get a version without ads? (pro version, donation, etc)
I`m sick of those ads.....to annoying.

I can't sell paid apps due to regional restrictions (I'm based in middle east). I will add an option to disable ads in the next release though, and it will be available to everyone
Update:
I partnered with a friend in the US to handle payments. Now there is a paid PRO option available on Google Play. All users who disabled ads will not see them even after the new update.
Hi, I actually liked the way the app was showing that help screen before you added QR code support, kind of a reminder on how to use it.

For new users, a dialog is displayed when the QR scanner is launched showing exactly that. I didn't want to annoy old users with this dialog, that's why it won't be displayed for those who updated the app (coming from versions < 2.0).
However, many users thought that the QR scanner has to be opened on the receiving device when they are using NFC. So I'm releasing a new update today that will show this dialog for everyone when QR code scanner is opened for the first time.
Just found this app right now. Looks promising, thanks for your work.

I've tried between two Nexus 4, both running 4.2.2 roms (aokp and cyanogen). Both got wifi bugged after a successful shared file with wifi direct. We had to reboot to get wifi working again, otherwise wifi went off every few seconds.
Don't know if that's a wifi direct bug on android or the app because is the first time i use it.

Many users reported that SuperBeam works very well with N4.
WiFi direct doesn't play well with custom roms though. I tested it on GNexus ParanoidAndroid rom and it didn't work at all, while it worked very well on XenonHD. Same goes for my Asus Transformer: it worked flawlessly on stock, but caused reboots on Team EOS rom (aosp based).
Could you try using a different kernel, that might help?
Thank you for your feedback.
gonna give it a try
ll it work on htc one x
:good::good::good:
You know what would be even better, to have also windows app, for quick sharing with pc

WARNING: Some features require a rooted device.
SEE THE FAQ IN POST 2 (BELOW) IF YOU HAVE ISSUES
DESCRIPTION:
Download web files much faster by using wifi and mobile data at the same time!
Share or open a link from any program, like the web browser, and download it at speeds up to two times faster than usual.
This is the only tool that can download using wifi and mobile data connection simultaneously*!
*In 2014, two years later, Samsung released the Galaxy S5 phone which incorporates a similar feature called "Download Booster".
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Using both networks together requires root access.
- Since this program uses mobile data connection, by using it you may incur in additional charges from your network operator.
- To unleash its full potential, this program needs good (and balanced) wifi and mobile reception/bandwidth.
- Using both connections is not supported on all devices / rom combinations.
- Some web servers may provide insufficient functionalities on the requested files.
- Currently only http and https protocols are supported (no ftp or torrent yet)
- The Lite version has a filesize limit of 50 megabytes.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR XDA DEVELOPERS:
This program is free for xda users if downloaded from this thread, but is a paid application on play store. If you want to support the development, buy it from the market and get automatic updates.
USAGE:
Just click on a link or open a remote file: if the file type is recognised by Super Download, it will start getting it.
If this method doesn't work, try click-and-hold on the link, select "share with" and choose Super Download.
Finally, you can copy and paste a url in the "add url" dialog.
There is a thread on Super Download and a youtube video here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...xy-s5s-download-booster-t2829885/post54435368
PLANNED FEATURES:
- Multiple files together / download queue
- Other ways of speeding up downloads
MARKET LINKS:
- Full version: Super Download Full
- Lite version: Super Download Lite
***** FAQ *****
1 - Q: It doesn't work!
A: Please provide more information and possibly a logcat (main buffer, debug level).
2 - Q: The application doesn't trigger! Is my browser supported?
A: Did you try both methods (read USAGE on post 1)? Some browser do not support the first method (mostrly third party browsers), some do not support the second (only ICS stock browser doesn't, AFAIK). If both methods do not work for you, please post your browser and rom names and versions in this thread, thanks!
3 - Q: It fails and now I can't download the file without unistalling your app! Now what?
A: From SuperDownload, click on the download and select "send to default downloader": the android download app will start to download your file (not available on froyo). Or, some browsers support long-tap on a link and then "download". You can also install an additional download with different features, so android will ask you which one to use at download time.
4 - Q: When using both networks, mobile data stream gets interrupted often!
A: Unfortunately, when using both network, the system enforces periodic disconnects on the mobile interface. There is no way to avoid them, but the app tries to mitigate its effect as much as possible.
5 - Q: How can I download from RapidShare (HotFile, etc.) with this application?
A: Sites like rapidshare do not support multi threaded clients. They don't want you to have more than one active download at a time. So it would defeat the purpose of this application.
It is possible that, with some tweaks specific to the site, and maybe the need of a premium account, it would work. That would need a lot of time to develop, though :-\
6 - Q: Sometimes I see "Dual networks" changing form "enabled" to "suspended", why?
A: From version 0.4, Super Download tries to avoid using both networks together when one of the two is failing too often; this is to avoid slowing down the transfer when in bad mobile reception, for example. If you feel it is suspended too often or when it shouldn't, please report on this thread.
7 - Q: Does it work for downloading [put your favorite big file here]?
A: It should work as long as it's a valid http or https url (no torrent (yet), for example) and the web server doesn't limit multiple connections.
8 - Q: Does it work on a tethered connection?
A: I didn't try myself, but I got some reports that it works. The tethered connection works as if it were wifi, and you can add your mobile speed to it!
9 - Q: Why doesn't it work for downloading from the market/play store?
Q: Why don't you just replace the default android downloader?
A: The default downloader is not a "normal" application, it's a core part of the android system and libraries. Even if it was possible to take its place, it would be a compatibility nightmare, with all the os versions and different carrier/manufacturer customizations that are available.
10 - Q: Why can't you do the same system wide, for all the applications?
A: That would need to modify android internals and probably every application that needs it. Currently Super Download merges the packages from the two connections at the application level and there is no simple way (that I know of) to do it differently.
11 - Q: On my Samsung with original firmware and touchwiz I can't see the download history, even though I'm on later than froyo!
A: That's because samsung has taken their froyo downloader and put it on gb, ics and later, without updating the downloader api. You know, it's easier to make a customized program work on a new version of android rather than re-applying the changes to a newer version of the downloader...
12 - Q: Can you alter the app and allow it to do tethering also? I want to create a wifi network which combines two 3g networks and doubles the speed for the user.
A: I'm sorry but Super Download can't do this. The problem is not just enabling the interfaces (you can get some clues on how to do this on this thread, without the need for SD altogether), but combining the packets from the two channels. As far as I know, this can easily be done only at the application level; what this means is that you would need to modify the programs you are using on the client in order to make it work. An exception would be the use of proxies: most networked applications already support this, so theoretically it's possible. But currently a bit off topic for this project, unless it can grow to a much bigger application than it is now. It is in my todo list for the future, nonetheless
13 - Q: Did you copy/reverse engineer Samsung Download Booster?
A: NO. It's the other way around. My app was out a lot earlier. Super Download is, infact, the first application of its kind.
14 - Q: How's your app different than Download Booster?
A: Samsung's one is integrated into the rom, so it has a more low-level access to the protocol. This enables it to work on, for example, play store downloads, which Super Download can't. Still, none of the two can work on all the network traffic: they are both limited to the HTTP protocol and supported applications.
Does it work for you guys?
Is it actually faster than wifi only?
Please let me know
testing now, but I don't understand with the dual mode feature, can you explain exactly that feature used for ?

I think its using both wifi & mobile data at the same time, I'm guessing. Sounds pretty epic. Haha.

Dual mode uses both networks (wifi and mobile), maybe the label is not clear. I could change it to "use both networks" or something, what do you think?

No setup is needed. It should work out of the box.
Could you please try with another file type and/or another website?
Thanks!
So it looks like this is a replacement for the "Downloads" app that is already on the phone. It handles the download well, though I can't see much of a difference downloading as the server I am downloading from is the limiting factor, not my wifi. Here are some observations:
We should test this on starbucks or other limited wifi
The app did not ask for root privileges
It does not seem to route all traffic through the dual mode, only some file downloads. Am I missing something there?
All in all though, it is a cool experiment, I look forward to do some more testing with it.
I really don't think this makes a difference.

Thanks for your testing.
There are many factors affecting performance.
One is what you already said that often the bottleneck is the server itself, not the local network.
Add to this the fact that, when dual mode is disabled, the thread which should download using mobile is routed thru wifi, and you may get the file faster by using wifi only.
Moreover, android automatically puts the mobile connection down after some time when wifi is in use, leading to timeouts and needs to wait for reconnection.
All this can be mitigated, fixed etc. Just let me tweak it further and please continue reporting! More feedback, more fixes
Here is the new version:
0.2
- aggressive threading option added, should greatly improve speed on some servers
- network and layout tweaks
- timing display
- fixed FC when no wifi and both networks enabled
I'm getting terrific performance improvements with aggressive threading and some "lazy" servers!
So please have a look at this new version and let me know

Yes, that's the purpose of this application.
There are limitations, but it can be done, as this project demonstrates

This is the first app that works for me, the other shutdown apps always crash...
Simple and effective!
Thx alot!
Is there a way to hide the console on pc? I have it in startup folder and I don't like it popping up every time I start my pc.
Can it be minimised to system tray?

I will work on it and see what I can do on that, but it will take some time as I got a job for 5 months so it is slowing down my development but will work on this feature. There are many more features and updates for this app in the pipeline in the near future so I am glad that you like it
Update:
I am having some problems with my google developer's account meaning that I am unable to add any new apps but I am only able to update my current app. Currently, I am trying my best to solve this issue before updating this application.
My issue with Google is still present but I have decided to keep on supporting this cool little project of mine. Be sure for updates soon

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Any plans to add a login function?
Good job. This app has always worked well for me and I know it can be tricky to set up things like wake on lan. The only feature missing from the older version I had was minimize to tray and since you've fixed that, I'm good for now. Thanks again and good luck with school.
Excellent work!
It would be greatly appreciated if you could port the remote console to linux. I, like many others, don't want to get left behind! Thanks!
The perfect application for me. I am always lazy and forget to shutdown my PC. I also dont want to go out of my bed to turn it of haha..
Now I can do this remotely... Awesome!
Many Thanks!

I'd like to use this app on my home server, can you tell me what port it uses, as currently it only works with the firewall disabled.
KitKat for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.4)
Introduction
I am a android fan and I like it very much (I came from Chinese). I have ported this rom for my ME722 (Milestone 2 China version) and the project is open source. The rom has some nice advancements. I would like you to try my rom and send bugreports to me. I'm a Java / C++ programmer, but i'm not good at hardware therefor some bugs I can't fix. I have submitted some patches for the CM official, but if you can supply patches for this it will be ok. The rom is world wide language support.
(In order to get more effect battery control, I suggest you use my develop screen brightness controller application. You can download from

FAQ
1. The media scan eat up my battery.
The major problem is the SD card has too many files to scan. You can create empty file that is named '.noscanandnomtp' under the folders that you need not to scan. To me, I add this empty file in all folders under the root folder of SD card, except the folder "DICM", 'Audios', "Noticifitions", "Alerm". After do the previous steps, you can find the system speed will very quick and no more battery usage.
2. I can not send SMS.
The problem is happen when you upgrade from other ROM. The SMSC is incorrect make such problem. Please refer to the following page to try to resolve it. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/SMSC_Updates.
3. How can I enable ART
3.1 First, please enter development module. Settings->About Phone->Click the 'Build number' item in seven time. It will show 'Developer options'
3.2 Settings->Developer options->Select runtime, click the item Use ART. Restart your phone is OK.
4. If enable ART cannot enter system how to resolve it.
4.1. WIPE.
4.2. Use adb to connect your phone by following command to set back dalvik and keep all your data
adb shell setprop persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib libdvm.so
I want to trim some language support, please tell me what's your langage usage. Because the system partition is too small to fit for bigger and bigger system

I have been using the rom for a while and I can say It is stable for daily use.
Mobile data ok
Play store ok
gps ok
calls ok (And you can record them with AutoCallRecorder)
No chinesse characters at all
sms ok
camera ok (as told by Engle_Mars)
If you try to use lgcamera the previeww is a horrible split screen, but
photo and videos are taken fine.
Bluetooth Send files ok
Receive files no ok (you receive, but you can't confirm reception od the incoming item)
Handsfree OK
Tethering no ok
Sd card no ok (Is detected by pc but not accessible)
wifi ok
Personal bug:
Clock app fc's all the time, so I can't configure alarm, etc...
I have installed coming from Engle's 10.2 without wipes, so, I have fixed it
by erasin clock app data.
What I miss:
Google Now Activity at the left of the homescreen.
Working emoji and swipe keyboard
To know:
It still uses kernel 2.6.32.9 (3.0.8 is out) and 2.6.0 TWRP (2.6.3 is out)
And maybe Engle_Mars has to change text on updaterscript, because
when you finish installing the rom it says:
"Finished Installing JellyBean for ME722, Enjoy!" instead of
"Finished Installing KitKat for ME722, Enjoy!"
Very good work. Congratulations Mr. Engle_mars

and how about the advantages of CM? Because it is an AOSP rom.. call blocking, ota update, etc?
@Engle_Mars
Regarding camera colors...if they are mixed during preview, then changinig in the [email protected] lines:
*udest++ = src[1];
*vdest++ = src[3];
to
*udest++ = src[3];
*vdest++ = src[1];
should do the trick
PS: Good to see you back
I have installed this rom, but lots of settings missing, which is very good in cyanogenmod... Anyway the performance is very good
I think it's amazing how smooth the system is running.
A few Bugs/Issues I found:
- The taskbar isn't transparent (I don't care)
- When pressing the menubutton or long pressing the homescreen, so the wallpapers and widgetsbuttons appear, the settingsbutton has no effect.
- In the settings there is no button for system and launcher.
- changing the physical keyboard to QWERTZ has no effect.
- the bootanimation is boring but it boots fast
- Pressing the camera button doesn't start the camera
I didn't do a lot of testing, but wow, great work, faster than stock GB.
Hi,
Thanks for your work!
Please add the Brazilian Portuguese (Pt-BR) language if it´s possible.
Regards.
Could anyone mirror it on other server please. I still can't download from yunpan.cn, it downloads only 506kB and breaks connection.
-- Edit
Ok, I've found a solution. For some reason Firefox didnt want to download it, but it seems Download Manager downloads without problems (low bitrate, but works).

I have not noticed more system speed or better battery management than Engles' Cm 10.2 but I have more free ram and other thing...
Bluetooth handsfree device works fine!!!! and if you have Autocallrecoreder installed it also records bluetooth calls!!! Awesome!!!!:laugh:
For being a first release is very good and for me is for daily use. I also miss some improvements of cm but nobody is perfect... I think is good to see Engle_Mars working on AOSP and Czechop working on CM11 so, you have plenty of choice, haven't you?
For those who want some cm apks they can download CyanogenMod App Installer from Google play. The app has the funcionality to download apks and resources from a remote server to your device, and install them as system applications, so you could have:
-Apollo
-Calculator
-Cm file manager
-Torch
-Messaging
-Dsp Equalizer
-Voice+
-News+Weather widget
If you miss notification bar toggles use Notification Toggle.apk from market
Best regards

For my global is supply original and stable Google System for Milestone2. The system should care about system should do. Other thing just let the application to do and it will do better than ROM. I develop the ROM base on AOSP have two reasons. 1. Decrease the work when upgrade to new system. CM add more and more code that we never have chance to use, this is because our old hardware, for example NFC, FM, HDMI, Multiple SM etc. 2. Some application can do better by integrate in system. The other good thing is czechop and Quarx2K still develop base on CM (new kernel, if it's stable enough, I will merge). If there is any good features of CM that I interest, I will merge it. But now, only the LTO need I merge and I have done. It will include in next version.
Guys, please, could somebody who has already downloaded the ROM, upload it to some other server? It is nearly impossible to download from 360 server. Connection is dropped after a minute or so, and transfer speeds are about 1-2 kB/s. Using download manager doesn't make a difference.

If Engle_Mars doesn't mind I will upload it to a OneClickHoster and post the link here.
Hi,
I've developed a widget to toggle (preferred) network types, e.g., 2G, 3G, 2G/3G, LTE, on Android 5.0/5.1 (Lollipop), Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), and Android 7.0/7.1 (Nougat). It requires root.
This is an xda-exclusive free version! If you want to support me, please consider getting the paid version on Google Play or check out my other apps.
Please note: Redistribution of this app is not allowed!
New: Support for dual SIM/multi SIM devices on Android 6.0 and later.
Paid version on Google Play (same functionality): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.togglenetworktype
Device compatibility: second post
Features:
Widget (cycle through configurable list of network types)
Locale/Tasker plugin (set specific network type or toggle to next)
Shortcut (set specific network type or toggle to next)
Custom names for network types (text shown on the widget)
Custom background image or color
Configure text size and color
Dual SIM/multi SIM support on Android 6.0 and later
Device Support
Device support depends on a variety of factors, including your specific device model, Android version, installed (custom) ROM, used root provider (su binary), and SELinux configuration. This app includes options to deal with different configurations of some of those factors. Please let me know if this app does not work on your device.
Notes
The widget is passive. Thus, it has to request root every time it is refreshed. Although the battery impact is negligible, this usually results in frequent (Toast) messages indicating that the app was granted root rights. Please refer to your superuser management app if you'd like to disable those messages specifically for this app.
This app includes a (static) shortcut and a (dynamic) widget. Usually, both shortcut and widget are shown in the same list which is used to add them to your homescreen although this list is commonly just labeled "Widgets". For reference, the screenshots in this post show the widget. The shortcut looks like the app icon and has rounded corners. Please note: sometimes the widget is not shown immediately after installing this app. This is likely a bug in the launcher/homescreen app. Please reboot your device in that case.
Known issues:
Android 6/7: When the network type is changed via this app and then the cell radio system settings are opened, the network type is reset to the one set there. Similarly, the previous issue might happen after a reboot or when airplane mode is toggled on and off.
Android 6/7: Some devices/(beta) ROMs don't work with this app (currently). Please search the thread for more details/user reports.
Network type specific: Depending on your device and carrier when using certain modes, e.g., LTE only, you might be unable to send or receive calls, SMS, etc. This is a technical limitation and has nothing to do with this app. Please keep this limitation in mind in case you are not sure whether you are affected by it or not.
Network type specific: Depending on your device/Android version/(custom) ROM/etc. some network types might be unavailable, don't work, or, when trying to select them, result in a different one being activated instead. Please search the thread for more details/user reports. This is outside of this app's control.
Custom ROMs: On some custom ROMs, the default toggle mechanism does not work. There exists a "custom ROM mode" which uses a different method that works on (most) CyanogenMod ROMs and other custom ROMs based on it. However, some network types are not supported by the custom ROM mode. When trying to set them, e.g., the app freezes. Please disable any such unsupported types via the app settings. Additionally, depending on the device/ROM, setting the preferred network type might work, e.g., via the Locale/Tasker plugin or shortcut, but this app might be unable to retrieve the currently set preferred network type. In such cases, toggling to the "next" preferred network type doesn't work since this app doesn't know the current preferred network type.
Other issues: When reporting any issues please include the following info in your post: Device, ROM and ROM version, exact version number of this app you use (don't just write "latest"), superuser management app (e.g., SuperSU) and version, content of any shown error messages. Describe in detail what you tried to do, what you expected to happen, and what happened instead. Include screenshots/screencasts where possible and useful to show the issue.
Cheers,
cygery

PS: As far as I know, this is the only app/widget allowing you to toggle preferred network types on Android 5.0. Please correct me if this is wrong.

@cygery I recall seeing some hesitation to post Play Store links in one of your other threads. I'm pretty certain that you'd be fine to do so, as long as a free version is included as well (see: BetterBatteryStats).
That said, y'all should definitely pick this one up. On sale as we speak!

Strange.....was looking/refreshing dev's list of apps and this never appeared.
Bought!
Thanks a lot, works fantastic.
If I want to use that with other apps than Locale or Tasker (in my case Lama), what is the Intend I need to use to set the network mode? What is the syntax?
Great job.

Well done - Works like charm - Tasker intergration like a champ ^^ Chipped in by getting it from the playstore. Keep it up ! Cheerz!

Works great as a PowerToggles custom toggle. I only wish its icon would update to show you what mode it's in right now.
Right now I have to also have the built-in "Data Network Toggle" added, which tells you what mode it's in after you click on it.

Thanks! Google Play indeed behaves strange, it (sometimes?) takes several hours until an app is shown on the developer page although it's already visible on its own page. Now everything seems to be there.
The method I used in this app doesn't work on KitKat or earlier, it was introduced in Android 5.0. Although I'm still checking for another way I don't have much hope because many others have searched and I haven't seen that anyone found a method.

Yes, I suggest that, too. If you really want to do it manually, check Locale's documentation.

The widget does this when you click it or when the connectivity changes. As far as I know, it's not possible to update the shortcut icon. Anyway, I abstained from polling the selected network type in case of external changes - it's just a waste of battery.
Small update (1.0.3.0) which shouldn't affect anyone who downloaded the app from this thread. This update just removed the requirement for telephony hardware from the AndroidManifest. Thus, the app is now visible via Google Play on devices without phone hardware, e.g., tablets with a data modem.

Will wait for this version to appear on Store.
However running the previous version from this thread on my Shield tablet LTE, none of the network options can be selected i.e. greyed out. Is that a problem?
Edit : installed the latest version, all the options are still greyed out. So didn't work on Shield tablet LTE for now.

Version Information
ROM OS Version: Android 10.0.0
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.18 - KERNEL Repository
Status: Stable
Stable Release Date: 2021-04-20
Finally published on XDA, a very good ROM, I use it on a daily basis,screen 9+ hours, the speed is at the level of PE 9 CAF, who needs lightweight ROM, with the latest security patches, and without bugs, I can recommend Carbon
Solid ROM. I chose it thanks to the Kill option in the Recents task switcher.
Note that unlike LineageOS, CarbonROM doesn't come with a built-in firewall since contemporary android (last year or so) lets you use rootless firewalls via vpn redirects. Personally I've rooted and used afwall regardless since I need root for adaway.
Mi Remote works fine in case you're wondering. You don't need to allow any permissions and can even firewall it after "pairing" your TVs and it will still work.
One question/caveat: How do I enable lock screen rotation?

To be honest, I do not really know if this is possible.
The lock screen normally shuts down most of the censors.
If you are sure that the accelerometer is active when the screen is locked, it has to be researched.
Otherwise, you would need TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD and TYPE_ACCELEROMETER to adjust the settings.
I, personally, don't think it is possible.

Thanks for replying. I'm asking because it's fairly common in other ROMs so I assumed the setting was buried somewhere in the menus. I even looked it up over the github repos ( https://github.com/search?q=org:CarbonROM+lock+screen+rotation&type=commits ) and found multiple commits suggesting it's an existing feature: https://github.com/CarbonROM/android_frameworks_base/commit/afc54cf30f9c3adb4038dc3363cf47bbefc01564

Sensors wise, I think that's the sleep mode that cutoffs those circuits rather than the lock screen itself so once the display turns back on the sensors are back on as well. But that's just me making guesses really.
Ok I managed to get the lockscreen rotating but it isn't easy. Basically you need to add a line to build.props using magisk's MagiskHide Props Config module. So, from the terminal after installing and rebooting you su and run props which is a menu driven terminal script. You add a new one (I think it was no.4 in the menu? follow the on-screen instructions...) called lockscreen.rot_override and give it the value true. Then let props initiate the reboot and you're done.
TL;DR lockscreen.rot_override=true in build.props
Anyhow, would have been nicer to have it as a CarbonFiber but so long as it works, I'm not complaining Thanks.
Another day another odd bug / missing feature: It's likely at least two-three separate su (magisk) and missing permissions possibly related to the new Android privacy polices, but Automation / Easer / Automate / LibreTasks can't use the wifi as a trigger due to missing permissions. E.g. previously I'd use LineageOS's System Profiles to turn off mobile data when my home wifi was connected but now nothing can list the wifi networks (related permissions maybe?) or switch off mobile data (su / magisk root elevation by the service probably needs work on the app dev's side) but third party tools are all broken for various reasons.
Anyhow, It's probably not ROM related but since LineageOS circumvents the issue by providing their own, I think it's still a valid point of comparison especially for people that consider event driven automation as necessary. Personally I guess I'll just try and remember to turn it on/off.

If you want to inform the team, you can use the email address in the description.
As to automation, normally when you have both LTE and Wi-Fi connected, the connection is set to sign in to the closest cell, irreleveant of the technology used. The distance marks ping times, strength of signal, velocity but even when it connects, you still have the both sensors active (which drains battery). Currently, I don't think there is a way to automatically shut down one of them, or both of them, if this is what you mean.
In terms of selection of the network, it has always worked. In terms of dozing the sensors after a certain time of inactivity, I cannot help you.
Hopefully, this is useful.

Nah it looks like the automation stuff is being shifted into the assistant APIs and SDKs and most projects and foss just hasn't caught up with the changing permissions and such: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-10-rules-automation-feature-rolls-out-some-pixel-devices/

I guess google wants their machine learning to do this automatically for users instead of the users having to go into the settings and script logic.
Anyhow, I'm sure things will sort themselves out with time so no worries.
Offtopic, for some reason Axet's Call Recorder didn't work for me even after giving it root so I had to use the magisk module that installs it as a system app. It's sorta weird since android.permission.CAPTURE_AUDIO_OUTPUT should have been granted as I checked "System Mixer Incall Recording" and approved it for superuser but it didn't. I even thought something went wrong with magisk itself but adaway and afwall test fine so...
Anyhow, thought it's worth mentioning since I keep running into similar premission related issues and some of them are common enough that people already have apps to solve/circumvent them.
Changelog - 20/04/2021
Hello!
I've switched to this ROM because android 11 and kernel 4.9 was not stable for me, with all kind of slowness and issues.
I'm glad to see an up-to-date android 10 rom. The performance is just insane compared with the other rom's i've tested.
But I do experience a bug with wireless. When my phone is connected to a 2.4ghz wifi AP, the performance is really low, below 4mbps with high jitter, even with the signal at 100%. If I connect to the 5ghz band, the performance is perfect, above 115mbps.
How can I help you with troubleshooting this? Unfortunately this is a massive problem for me. Changing wifi channels and 20 or 40mhz bandwidth makes no difference at all.

Hi!
First, I have none of your issues and have no information on anyone else experiencing it.
If you connect to 2,4 Ghz, the range is longer and wider, which means the strength and velocity is somewhat disturbed by the distance from the router or the AP, but ensures longer distance. Drops are fewer than in the 5 GHz.
If you use 5 Ghz, it is much more stable but the distance is shorter and the channel is narrow, which leads to easy disturbance of the connection.
If you use the Hotspot for someone close to you (not far than 5-7 metres) use the 5 GHz.
Changing the bandwidth of the channel might improve something but rather not.
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate.
Thank you for your answer but unfortunately I do experience this problem with this ROM and not with others
I'm aware how wifi networks works but where I'm mostly using my device, I don't have 5ghz available.
I need proper 2.4ghz stability because I use ms teams on my device for home office.
This problem is not present with other android 10 roms with kernel 3.18 like lineage os.
Let me know if you need logcats or anything

Ok, send them to me. I will take a look when I have some time to do so.
No promises.
I found the problem it's bluetooth.
I have a mi band that is always connected to my device. Just by having bluetooth enabled, I can't have more than 4mbps. Disabling it, I can use wifi happily at 70mbps.
Is there a bluetooth coexistence mode that can be tweaked?

I'm aware of it. But like I said, this was a non-issue with miui and LOS17.1.
Perhaps there's a tweak on WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini that can be done? Or maybe los17.1 uses different blobs? You could try to push zeelogs 17.1 kernel to cr-8.0.
These are just ideas, not complaints
