This is a tweaked versions of CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-B11 so all credit goes to killersloth for the ROM. Without his work this ROM wouldn't be possible. So if you like this ROM please go to the CARBON ROM thread and click the "Thanks" button.
Changes Made:
Replaced Trebuchet launcher with Nova launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Replaced the default kernel with the kernel from CM10.1 Stable by verygreen.
Added BeatsAudio+xLoud+ClearAudio for audio effects and ViPER4Android for the sound engine. Settings I am using.
Added Mobile BRAVIA® Engine for improved video processing.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking. If you are having issues with adblocking see attachments to remove it.
Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother. To help improve performance even further see this post.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
v6 - run the V6 SuperCharger script. I would run this as soon as the ROM is setup..
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
V4A XHiFi may do a hot reboot when first getting root, same with Root Browser. This will only happen once and will work fine afterwards. This is only normally an issue if you try getting ROOT on first boot. On the second reboot this doesn't happen.
Wifi will turn off then back on while it is setting up wl1271-nvs.bin. Once the file is created Wifi shouldn't disconnect.
Any more issues please report them.

If you would like to use the WALKMAN app from the Sony Xperia Z Ultra you can do so by flashing this: Xperia-Ultra_WALKMAN_SemcMusic.zip. Make sure you boot into the ROM before flashing. If you flash this without booting into the ROM first it will not work.
Most of the features in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra WALKMAN are working but "Music Unlimited" service isn't.
Thank you, I will give it a try.
Do we use the gapps from the original carbon threads?
And how do you flash the scrips? Just like any other zip file? Can it be done when installing this ROM ?

I just added the scripts as a separate download so other devs can take a look at them without downloading the whole ROM. All the scripts are included in the ROM. Everything you need is built into the ROM. Just download it and install.

I installed on top of Carbon B9 without wiping anything and everything was forceclosing.Then I wiped cache partiion and Dalvick cache and reinstalled ,it was usable thistime but several apps still forceclosing including Chrome,I went back to Carbon.

If you did not install with full wipe I am note sure it is fair to mark it as unstable. Did you even attempt to clear the app data for the apps foreclosing?
have not tried this yet but just thought labeling the effort as unstable prior to proper install is not fair.

Just installed with full wipe restoring apps and data from TB. So far everything is ok.
Feels slightly less laggy than B9.
Dunno about battery life yet.
This is working great for me.
I did a dirty flash over RootBox and it's really nice.
Been the best rom for me on my Nook so far. Pinguy1982, please keep the thread updated mate.
Only issue I had was my usual
Android.process.acore has stopped
Which I resolved by following the text below. (cribbed from somewhere on the net)
If you go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ then choose the All tab. Scroll down to Contacts open it and clear the data cache. Now do the same again but this time open Contact Storage and also clear the data cache. This issue is related to an Android bug and affects many devices. It's related to apps that use the sync function.
Works for me.
Cheers all

I agree completely and would urge the poster to revise his comment or certainly remove the subject. Way too hasty and unfair to make such a quick judgment certainly in the absence of a full or data wipe.

Sorry if I offended you.My understanding is that you wipe data only if you are installing in place of different ROM.It was carbon on top of Carbonand I did not feel I needed to wipe data partition.

Dude it's all cool. But I have changed a fair bit to the ROM so just installing over it probably won't work. I have made drastic changes to how dalvik works so using pre-installed apps from a previous install probably won't work.

Do you mind building a version for the Nook HD ?
so using apps from titanium backup would be a problem?

Apps no, dalvik cache maybe. Restoring apps settings and the apps won't be a problem, but using the dalvik cache might be.
The cache is in /data/dalvik-cache. Using that maybe an issue.

thanks.I always clear out dalvik cache anyway when I try new stuff. I was thinking of trying it. the new build of cm 10.1 seems to match up with my tablet perfectly so we will see. thanks for the ROM. the more the better

I did this too, but wiped dalvik, no force closes, but status bar is gone and can't get it back... going to try flashing again...
Just flashed a couple of hours ago and seems pretty rad so far. I'll give it some time to "settle" before passing judgement. Definitely like the idea!
Good to see more options around here. My hat goes off to all devs.

Just flashed it ... Can't see the option "Reboot into recovery" when holding the power button. Is there anyone I can enable it ?

Battery drain so far seems to be no worse than B9 for me.
Definitely like this ROM, it is faster and smoother than any other I tried for my Nook, seems quite stable as well (no random reboots etc.)
So on Saturday I made the switch to ART runtime and everything seemed to be working fine, the phone rebooted and all the apps were optimized upon restart, a couple days ago I noticed that my phone restarted although I may have accidentally restarted it by mistake while it was in my pocket.
So right now I'm trying some stuff to lower battery darin and wanted to switch back to Dalvik, I go into the developers options and Dalvik is selected as the active runtime, I selected ART again because I thought it was strange since I never went back to Dalvik in the first place, I click ok after selecting ART and my phone reboots but it doesn't optimize anything, it restarts as normal and when I check the runtime it's always Dalvik.
Any idea what might be happening here? Why can't I switch to ART?
Did you install xposed framework? If so it only works on dalvik and it won't let you use ART. From what I've heard you need to run the xposed disabler zip to fully uninstall it

copy /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process using a root file explorer. turn on ART.
After i switched from Dalvik to ART. I can't install NBA2K14 and some other apps because they're not compatible with ART.
So I reverted from ART to Dalvik.
Why is it that I still experience the error "App not installed.". After reverting back from ART to Dalvik.
Tried to Clear Dalvik Cache/Cache but still error is occurring.
Using Latest Cataclysm + Franco r30.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Thanks! Will do this.
One of the first things I changed when I got my nexus 5 was changing from dalvik to art runtime.
As an accident I was messing around and saw I was at dalvik once again. Set the phone to change to art, it says a certain library file has to be changed, restarts the phone and nothing happens.
The files that were converted the first time I change to art are no longer converted and I am still in dalvik mode. Clues?

I'm guessing you have Xposed Framework installed, which prevents you from switching to ART. You either have to uninstall Xposed or stick with dalvik.

ART is now the default and only runtime on Android 5.0. You can no longer switch to Dalvik.

dalvik junk still available during clean up
if lollipop uses ART instead of Dalvik, why clean monitor application shows there is junk file on dalvik during cleaning up memory?
sorry for silly question

Because ART's Ahead-Of-Time "cache" is stored in the same place as Dalvik cache once was, and many applications simply have not updated their strings or bothered to check the Android version.
