Installation instructions and requirements can be found in 2nd post!
Disclaimer:
Please be aware this is an unofficial release.
If you rely on your device as it is your only phone you should thoroughly consider the risks involved when flashing a custom ROM (e.g. total loss of your data!).
If you decide for flashing this rom, then you do it at your own risk and I am not responsible for any resulting damages!
I don't claim responsibility for the code in this ROM, I have only built the ROM for this device.
Credits go to:
- The original creators of this ROM and its features mentioned above: CarbonDev, CM, SlimTeam, Team PA, Team AOKP, and companions.
- @LaidbackNikez and Evervolv - for developing the qsd8k kernel that powers this ROM, as well as htc vendor files and bravo device tree
- @parkedraccoon for allowing me to use his Trackball wake code and his readiness to help me with solving build problems
- @[email protected] for stabilizing Kernel 3.0.16 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a nice day!
P.S.: You may want to compile it yourself:
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/spezi77/carbon.git -b kk
repo sync
Download ROM with K3:
CarbonRom for bravo unofficial v2.0 - Test release with Kernel 3.0 - 168.28MB
md5 0949746aced316dfcea1e9175cdf752e
Characteristics of v2.0:
1) Added kernel 3.0.16-kitkat-v0.1 (Hell yeah!) -- Big thanks to everyone who was involved into k3 development -- especially Niklas and Thomas!!!
2) Use performance tweaks (enabled KSM and zRAM at 50%)
3) Use same codebase as in carbonrom v1.1
Known issues in v2.0:
- Initially 'Long press home key' does nothing (you have to go to Settings / Carbon Fibers / Buttons and 'Enable custom actions' -> configure home with 'Recents')
- If your battery falsely shows 0% and causes your phone to shut down, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats when 100% charged
- Trackball wake not working
- Camera preview is sometimes distorted (taking picture works)
- Noticeably higher battery consumption as in older ROM versions
- Everything else should work, if not please let me know
Instructions:
Requirements:
- An hboot with at least 400mb on system. Get it from here: PB99IMG_LP-looback_420_5_12.zip.
- A 1gb - 4gb EXT4 partition on your sdcard. Use this guide to create the partition. Partitions made using other tools (CWM, Minitool Partition Wizard, etc.) will likely cause issues.
- Use this modified 4EXT Touch Recovery ONLY: 4ext-touch-recovery-for-LP-loopbk.zip. Any other recovery version may cause issues.
Installation guide:
1) Backup your current apps incl. their data (use Titanium backup from Appstore)
2) Backup your current ROM from recovery
3) Install the new hboot via PB99 method (find hints on PB99 method below)
4) Boot into recovery and format all partitions except for SD
5) Install the new recovery via PB99 method
6) Boot into recovery
7) Do a full wipe
8) Flash ROM
9) Flash a GApps package of your choice -- my recommendation is the PICO MODULAR PACKAGE with proper DPI play services ~99MB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-pa-google-apps-roms-t3074801
10) Wipe battery stats -- IMPORTANT: On first boot have the charger plugged in!
11) Boot ROM and let it settle down (3-5 min)
Download ROM with K2.6.38:
CarbonRom for bravo unofficial v1.1 - 167.87MB
md5 d06e0ad83c7932253f014ea716b5cc10
New in v1.1:
1) Sync with CarbonDev on 2015-09-04 (however, the latest code changes by CarbonDev occurred around 17th Nov 2014)
2) Use Data2ext4 (credits walter79)
* This is meant to permanently solve the biggest remaining pain that bravo kk users have: running out of space on /data
* Makes using A2SD scripts from Evervolv obsolete
* Requires a SD-EXT partition on SD card of size between 1GB and 4GB
* Requires a custom hboot which provides sufficient space on /system (e.g. 420-5-12)
3) Added a patch by CM to prevent wakelocks caused by Google Play Services 7.x SystemUpdateService
* This will fix the problem mentioned here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6438
4) Added quite a few tweaks and build.prop mods:
* Increase ui responsiveness (credits CM)
* Enable slow blur (credits CM)
* Media profiles: use m4v to gain performance improvements (credits walter79)

Known issues in v1.1:
- Initially 'Long press home key' does nothing (you have to go to Settings / Carbon Fibers / Buttons and 'Enable custom actions' -> configure home with 'Recents')
- If your battery falsely shows 0% and causes your phone to shut down, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats when 100% charged
Instructions:
Requirements:
- An hboot with at least 400mb on system. Get it from here: PB99IMG_LP-looback_420_5_12.zip.
- A 1gb - 4gb EXT4 partition on your sdcard. Use this guide to create the partition. Partitions made using other tools (CWM, Minitool Partition Wizard, etc.) will likely cause issues.
- Use this modified 4EXT Touch Recovery ONLY: 4ext-touch-recovery-for-LP-loopbk.zip. Any other recovery version may cause issues.
Installation guide:
1) Backup your current apps incl. their data (use Titanium backup from Appstore)
2) Backup your current ROM from recovery

5) Install the new recovery via PB99 method

10) Wipe battery stats -- IMPORTANT: On first boot have the charger plugged in!
11) Boot ROM and let it settle down (3-5 min)
Flash a recovery or hboot via PB99 method:
1) Ensure the integrity of the downloaded image by checking against the md5
2) Copy the zip file to the root of your SD card and rename it into PB99IMG.zip
3) Reboot into bootloader
4) After a few seconds boot loader will search the file and ask you to apply the update
5) Press vol up for yes and then it will ask you to reboot
6) Again press vol up for yes
7) Now hold vol down to re-enter recovery
8) Format all partitions except SD card

Awesome! I used to use the 4.2 Carbon ROM version, and loved it for its excellent customizations. Will try this asap.
Thanks for this ROM! I'll test it next weekend.

Congrats on your new rom.
The OP is very well layout, anything i want to ask is already there.

Guys, if you read this piece of information about qualcomm-optimized kitkat dalvik and bionic libraries, one conclusion is that it is not recommended to replace the bionic libs of a CM based rom because CM's bionic libs are advanced.. and actually this rom has been compiled with CM's bionic libs. Please correct me if I am wrong..
In my point of view, there is one option left for the next release -- to use qc-optmized kk dalvik.
Do you want me to give this a try?
I would love to know if this will make any difference. :cyclops:
does it include google phone like Chromiums beanstalk? I mean phone app which can lookup for phone numbers directly from internet?

Assuming that you are talking about the kitkat phone app -- YES.
It has a search bar as it is shown on the 1st picture:

in fact I meant nexus 5 phone app, AOSP doesn't have internet lookup capability or at least evervolv's hasn't but it also has search bar for local search...
your CM11 also doesn't have internet searching capability, maybe you should add it for CM11... anyway, i will try carbon tomorrow, thanks!
Nice ROM. Stable and looks good. Speed is the only thing to do.
Bugs:
Google keyboard fc with gestures.
Video playbacks are not flounce enough

Bug found.
Settings>Carbon>Lockscreen>General>enable Slider torch (Double-tap and hold the slider to start torch)
In the lockscreen, double tap the lock ring and hold to turn it on, but double tapping lock ring puts the phone back to sleep
In notification tiles, I can't add a torch toggle.
Does anyone know any other way to quickly toggle on/off the torch?
