Wrong partition
Okay.. I've tried 4 different versions of this Carbon ROM for my Infuse and upon installation it give me an Error which tells me that it uses a different partition. but I CAN CONTINUE INSTALLING. So i did and bricked the phone. So i had to re-flash my boot, partition, etc, etc. using Odin. So whats the deal? How is it that everyone else is happy with Carbon installing correctly.. yet I'm stuck using AEON 1.4? I'm no noob at this... been doing it for years. So what am I missing here?

How did you get to installing Carbon, that is, what process did you take?
If you went there straight from Froyo (or AEON as it looks like Gingerbread), I would try stepping stones next time (ICS/CM9, 4.2 JB/CM 10.1, maybe even Beanstalk 4.4.2).
This is how I got to Carbon (mind you, my device started with Gingerbread instead of Froyo), and didn't have any problems.
If that is already your method, you could try Gingerbread straight to Carbon by disabling lagfix in CWM. I never tried this method, but it seems to be the preferred one these days. Hope this helps.

What I/O scheduler do people prefer on this ROM? I've tried SIO, zen, and noop. SIO gives the highest actual benchmarks but zen and noop seem to give faster times on things like playing videos. I know SIO is generally considered the best for most phones but with infuse being an older phone not sure.
Also not sure what exactly changed but switching from beanstalk to this rom made my antutu benchmark go from ~6600 to ~8300 and a pretty noticeable boost in performance regardless.

I'm trying your new version 20141016. I hope it's going to be a good rom. I've tried Beanstalk but I'm not satisfied with it. I'll test your rom right now and I'll go back tomorrow for review

Weirdly I can't find the nightly page to download the ROM anymore from carbon's web page. I mean I'm on 10/12 so it's not like 4 days really matters, just unusual to not be able to get the web page to work 3-4 days later (the sidebar is entirely gone where the device tree should be picked)

People are reporting that when they try to go to CarbonROM.org, they get some variation of a "connection untrusted" error message. It seems that CarbonROM.org has either been hijacked, had a redirection injected, or something strange has happened, because it redirects to auth.sphere.ly and then fails on kerberos. Hence, the "connection untrusted" message on most desktop browsers.
The .ly in "auth.sphere.ly" usually refers to "Lybia."

Google search bar is empty
Hi guys !
So, I installed this rom and everything went fine, only problem is that the permanent google search bar is empty... I mean, it doesn't show "Google" and the mic icon to the right.

Beanstalk Devs and Carbon ROM are working on Lollipop right now... I'm pretty sure scott will release the build this month or 1st/2nd week of January .

Is anyone here using CarbonRom yet?
I ask because thats runing in my infuse since Oct-14 and now the build of Nov-06-14, the last one, this Rom is the best one i think but there are a couple of things that I was never can fixed. Can anyone of you guys help me with this rom please?
I would appreciate it, its just problems about YOUTUBE that i open the app and it close in 2 or 3 sec, i cant use it.
The other issue its because the rom is working really nice but in 3 or 4 months suddenly I'm receiving force closed messages about some process, after that I can't do anything, just flash the Rom+Gapps again and start over.
I really sorry about my english, I'm just trying to use my old Infuse 4G thats because I come to the experts, thank you and have a nice day!!

Success! (for now)
Thanks so much for putting this together. I'm an old Infuse user and have been too lazy to move on; your build coincided with me finally deciding to do something. As far as I can tell everything is working; I'm unsure about the battery life because I gave it quite a workout today reinstalling everything. I should have a better idea tomorrow.
Best Regards,
Jeff

MMS reception problems
Hi folks,
I'm really happy to have this Infuse ROM and have been happily using it for a few weeks now. It has some eccentricities but is overall a Good Thing.
One issue that's been giving me problems recently is with MMS image reception. MMS messages (esp group texts) are working fine, but people sending me images intermittently fails. I have carefully reviewed my APN settings and they seem correct (and I do sometimes get images). I recently cleared the Messaging app cache and restarted, and I get the following messages in logcat:
E/MmsduLoaderManager( 5247): MmsException loading uri: content://mms/728
E/MmsduLoaderManager( 5247): com.google.android.mms.InvalidHeaderValueException: Invalid Octet value!

E/MmsduLoaderManager( 5247): at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:841)
(there are many of them, just with different MMS ids)
Is there a known explanation for this issue or (ideally) a workaround?
Thanks,
Jeff

[Q] CynogenMod 7 issues on the GTablet

I apologize if this is the wrong area for these questions. I'm having a few issues with my installation of CM7. I've tried looking in several places, but nothing seems to address my problems.
First thing I noticed upon installation was that I was never asked to set up my touchscreen or input my google information. I tried doing this manually by adding an exchange account, but that would not work. I next tried looking for my apps to see if they installed automatically this time around or not and none of my previous apps show, nor does market exist anywhere. Without any instance of market to be found I can't use any of the market fixes. However, without an inputted google id I don't think that would have mattered.
Can anyone guide me to where I can find help for these issues or post any possible solutions?
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-tegra-20110118-signed.zip
Google apps - Flash right after you flash CM7. You might have to bypass the setup, but should be able to open the market and input google login. It won't auto download, but you'll have some market access.

Read the dev thread for other issue and such, don't have the time to dig through and help further.

As the previous poster said, install Gapps. That will give you the setup screen the first time you reboot the GTab. As a word of warning, I wasn't able to bypass the first screen (touch the droid) on the main version posted in the development thread (the Beta05), even with the click around the screen. I was able to get past it right away on the "offical" build in post 18 of that thread, however (Beta01).
Let us know if that doesn't fix your problem.
Thanx alot guys. I was finally able to get market going by installing gaps and using the CyanogenMod 7 bet01. I ran into the seup screen issue with the Beta05 just like you warned. I didn't do the full market fix as everything I wanted was readily available. I'm not even sure if the full market is absent or not.
I am noticing that after you mount the USB connection you can't unmount. Also, my internal storage isn't recognized. I think there were fixes for some of this in Beta5. Is there a way to update to Beta 5 without having my previous problems or some other fix for the USB and storeage issues to anyone's knowledge?
flash to vegan5 and you will be way happier.
I tried CM7 and it had so many issues.
Once you flash vegan5 you will actually enjoy your tab
You can try flashing beta5 over beta1 and clear cache/dalvik. I'm not sure if that will work, but would be my best suggestion.
On the other hand, I actually agree with the previous poster saying that vegan is probably the better option at the moment. It seems much more stable and feature complete, even if it is froyo instead of gingerbread.
Either way, make a nandroid backup so you can go back if things go sideways.
I didn't get to post this before the responses. I did actually go ahead and flash over Beta01 with Beta05. I just didn't wipe the data or cache. Everything came back just fine. This fixed the storage and usb issues in Beta01. However, you have the previous audio issue from older builds where you have to plug in headphones and unplug them to get the audio back. I've tried VEGAn 5.1 and it works awesomely. I'm merely choosing aesthetics above overall functionality.
My tab has been delegated to fancy entertainment device (comics, casual browsing, games and video). It does all I need for now. I figure since VEGAn and CM7 are joining forces, why not do the switch early and test it out. I love where they're going with this ROM. I can't wait to get my grubby paws on a finished product.
Again, thanks big time for all the assistance. I generally skulk and read through the threads, but I love this place and all that everyone provides for the lesser technophiles like myself.
I thought maybe I could post my own problems to this thread?
So I'm on cynogen 6.1.1 on htc evo 2.2.1 kernal [email protected] #1
Anyway... I've tried 3 times to install the update to 6.1.2 today and each time it's gotten stuck around 58%. Any links to places I'm sure are there and I just couldn't find?
Also, for some reason, for the first time since I got my evo, I'm getting TONS of errors when attempting to send sms. theres a pink like traingle with a ! in the middle. Any suggestions?
How do I fix the bug with the camera?
You can email me if you like, at [email protected].
I am sort of inbetween a newb and whatever the next level would be, lol. This past week I was able to root, and install a custom mod, AND install an update to that customed mod (which is the one i'm on now) all w/o ever posting any questions to any forums. Hopefully that'll get me some brownie points?
Please PLEASE please!! I will even paypal $10 once I get this resolved.

This usually means the installation was corrupted in some manner.
And it's usually because of a corrupt zip one would flash with.
You can reflash cm7 with another fresh downloaded file if you still have access to recovery mode.
Which I think you should be able becase the boot up process makes it up to the "Android" Bootscreen before it starts bootlooping.
From Advanced Recovery mode you can mount the USB option for the SDCard then transfer the fresh DL to your SCDard that way.
Also make sure you are using bekit's version .8 of CWM while in recovery mode.
Grab CWM v.8 from here
Other versions of CWM don't work well with the GTAB.

Wind P999 eagles blood update

Hi P999 users. Ive been experimenting with the Eagles Blood ICS ROMs and wanted to post some of my findings. I am not allowed to post in the relevant developer area where a detailed report would be useful so I will just post my feelings about the ROM's here for the next few weeks, until I am allowed to post more useful information.
I started out on the CM9 version of Eagles Blood, and then switched to a nightly AOSP ROM two weeks ago. I wanted to find out with AOSP was all about. This build felt very smooth. However crashes and force closing have cropped up in the past few days and this made me feel uncomfortable with the ROM's stability.
An update was released on the 20th so I felt the need to backup with Titanium and install the new ROM.
While installing the new ROM I read a notice in the changelog which confirmed my suspicion about the frequent new force closing. It seams there was some file corruption happening in previous builds... Maybe this was the reason mine was having issues??? How do I feel about this?
Anyways, after installing the newer ROM, and restoring my backup things were out of whack. Something about the restore had left some systems settings unusable and my Data connection was not working. Everything was force closing, even the android keyboard. I re-wiped and re-installed the ROM and backups with the same issues.
I decided to go back to build 4.0.3 and things have been good since. I had a feeling my Titanium backup was ruining my AOSP installations so this time I took a selective approach to restoring apps and did not restore system settings. My data connection is working again and my apps are working well. (Just to be clear I went back to the CM9 based version of EGB and not the AOSP version I was using which became unstable over time)
I do appreciate the AOSP development on behalf of EGB team but will be staying with the CM9 build for stability sake until file corruption issues are dealt with.
And that's how I feel about that.
the file corruption issue is your issue though, how are they supposed to fix your backup from your phone? Don't restore the settings and system, just apps. I don't get what the big issue is...
good job

MT3G thanks writing verbatim the solution I wrote into the OP.
*edit* the file corruption issue and the titanium backup fiasco are not related. It is my understanding that EGB team is aware of corruption cause by the early ASOP release and that they are working on it. I've decided not to use the AOSP version until they take care of it. (Solution / Workaround #1)
Maybe this is a big issue for someone who would not make the connection between restoring a system backup and the data connection not working anymore. I felt this was good information and that's why I posted it (Solution / Workaround #2)
Yeah that's why I never back up or restore any type of system settings; always gets you trouble.
Glad to see you're a problem solver , we don't have much of those here.
exactly my thoughts, most people wold just freak out and say the rom was stupid or something, I read the post as he was saying he is going to wait for EB team to fix the issue where as it isn't going to be "fixed" lol. Unless you are updating the same rom or a rom that hasn't been extremely updated then it's possible for it work out okay. But using cm7 backing up and then going to cm9(4.0.x) and restoring is going to be a no go probably. i'm with Buru though except I just stay away from TB all together, I only use about 12 apps and no games.
update
Just a quick update. Its been almost 3 weeks on the EGB CM9 build 4.0.3. I've been very happy with it. Occasionally I install updates and I get strange behavior after. I've found that rebuilding permissions after an update is a good practice.

I have restored email (with all accounts, data and app) as well as saved wifi locations before. I believe both of those are system settings and they never caused problems.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Try using GoBackup for apps, contacts (if you don't sync to your gmail), and some system settings. I like it more than TB. I'm not saying it won't cause FC's and that's because I don't know. But it might work better.

Nice thread, maybe you can list what's available (making difference between A700 & A510) splitting by 2 categories : Acer ROM based, AOSP ROM based
Cheers
new user here, so what's the best ROM for A700s? alot of people seem to be on the iconian but it seems the developer is gone, so I guess it should be the cm10.1 version by pawitp?
don't plan to do alot of gaming on it, mainly for magazine reading & web browsing since i've amassed a whole lot of unread zinio magazines which I've subscribed using the free codes they've been generously giving me over the last year.

Not sure what happened to vorbeth and iconian. Most of the roms have been around for awhile, and not a lot of issues.
pawitp has the CM which gets updates.
There,s a rootbox version, and Iconian. Iconian runs Acer build.
As with running Acer builds, we're dependant on Acer to push updates, which unfortunately doesn't happen often. However, in my opinion, there's less incompatibility issues with games. Just my opinion. This is why you don't see a lot of updates on the roms. Example, I'll push my first update since release. Audio improvements for folks that appreciate good audio. A little theming, and custom Acer ring.
I'd say flash them all, and see what works best for you. You usually know within a day or so, if you like the rom.
You are right, I flashed them all. Somehow stock is faster than CM & Iconian but your ROM is the best Thanks
I flashed CM10.1.3 RC2 to my A700. Has been working well and I really enjoy the new features I gained coming from stock. Most importantly for me CM gave me a higher touch sensitivity which drastically improved my user experience and was the main reason I switched to CM. It can have some lag tho.
I was thinking about flashing the kiteman V4.1 kernel to see if it helps with the lag, but I need to verify if the "Very High" touch sensitivity option will still be available. If anyone can advise it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I was thinking about flashing the latest Evil Alex ROM because I have read good reviews. Again, most importantly I need to verify whether touch sensitivity will be increased comparable to CM10.1. Perhaps Moscow Desire or boringest you can inform me?
I would say pawtips' CM 10.2 worked best for me so far. The performance is great and feels far less sluggish than stock, which I had before. Also not having all the branding stuff from Acer also improved the device a lot

adding build.prop line with:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhuawei-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyUSB2
one hours trying A701 playing rock music album from Apollo, check on off powerbutton every
5minutes ,
Screen-off problem not occurs yet
but another problem with 3G
*A701 can see network, but 3G Data not connected (3G icon signal bar full)
*set DNS > No network DNS: blank , ip : blank
*wifi works fine
hope someone check CM11 rild file for us A701 users
You should ask @pawitp

Hey A700 users. I'm helping a friend and offered to patch up his A700 from what appears to be stock Android 4.1.1 Build Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00_PA_CUS1. This does not appear to be the 3G model. I don't see anything in the ROM for mobile networks, and what appears to be the SIM slot next to Micro SD looks like it has a glued in plastic tab in it, not user removable without a bit of force.
So, looks like I need to unlock bootloader, install TWRP/CWM, and choose a ROM which is where my question is aimed. I'm wanting to choose a ROM that is mostly up to date, but also does not have any hardware issues. It appears that CM 12.1 has issues with HDMI which I would like to avoid.
I'm looking for in priority:
1) All hardware working (no workarounds, or other things I need to add as a "if this happens go here and do that" kind of stuff)
2) Stable
3) Up to date.
It appears a lot of ROMs are not seeing much activity which is understandable due to the age of the tablet. I'm keen to just flash this once onto something that is a good daily driver and be done.
After some additional digging I'm thinking about CM11: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_a700
It's strait forward, I know CM well enough....
I still have my old A510 wall mounted for home automation on CM11 4.4.4 . But the problem is that I can not install newer applications. Any way to get newer version of android on it?
FYI, I just installed our last Android 6 build (https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-6.0/picasso2/) to my A700 that I'm giving to a relative, as I believe it is rather stable. It's the last stable Android version for this device (Android 7+ has various graphics issues), and it uses kernel 3.4. It can be used with an up-to-date TWRP, such as: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a51x-a70x-aka-picasso-2-recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0.2678284/.
I'm sure there was a thread for it here, but I just can't find it now...
I upgraded my A700 from latest official CM11 to above mentioned unlegacy build. Unfortunately since then I'm experiencing massive audio distortion so that I had to revert back. Is there anything I missed or anyone with same experience?

I'm sure there was a thread for it here, but I just can't find it now...

What is the best, most stable, current rom?

Hey yall, been out the game for a little while.... just wondering what everyone is running as far as new roms. I always liked CM, maybe that's just cuz its the only one I really used.
I am obviously interested in KitKat roms now but I see a few different options so I was wondering what the differences were, and about stability, features, etc.
Thanks in advance!
I'm running Carbon nightly build 20140314-0511. It has more features which can't be found on CM11. Using it so far without glitches. No random reboots or freezing.

Is it a KitKat rom? What are the features that cant be found in CM?
Well I went ahead and downloaded Carbon KK and while i do like the customization there seems to be a fatal flaw with restoring messages using programs like SMS Backup & Restore. I restored 10k messages to the phone using this app and when I did that I had to change Backup & Restore to the default app and it cannot send messages. So when i switch back to Messaging to enable sending then the program crashes or doesnt show or send any messages or conversations. It says to "leave the messaging app open for a while" but this seems really silly.
I always hold onto my messages so i can reference past conversations but apparently im unable to do that on KK roms. Seems really stupid.
Use Google Voice? Archive all your messages.
*shrug*
Of course once i posted my response they all started magically working again...............................................

[Q&A] Unofficial CM11 for Saga [06.10.14]

Q&A for Unofficial CM11 for Saga [06.10.14]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Hello! I have my Desire S for more than 3 years and it's really wonderful that it has fresh updates thanks to you guys! Great work! Maybe one day it'll be Lollipop also on our device
I've been using cm-11-20141006-UNOFFICIAL-saga for about 2 weeks, it had "no camera" error, some lagging, but it hadn't "mic error", wifi, gps problems or something else and all in all it was good for a daily use. Then I decided to flash the latest build - cm-11-20141020-UNOFFICIAL-saga and from the start it has problem "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"
I will test your new builds as possible and very glad to help you.
com.android.phone
Installed the latest version of CM11 works, but again an error "com.android.phone".

There is ver.2 for testing
During development MoKee for DS, I do not know how Ruling solved the problems on warning no text context during flashing Rom and Calling problem on his ROM development. I remembered he has the same problem on version prior to date 08/08/2014.
So far CM11-2014-10-24 is providing users with fast responsive, smooth and stable, however, it is still contained some bugs considerable minor for me in comparison to the mentioned functions. On top of that in SuperSU, list of managed apps which require SerperSU granted is easily shown up when open SerperSU of which none of CM11s for Saga has provided even popular CM11-MoKee 2014-08-09 which provides users with responsive, smooth and rather stable is still not provided this feather which I consider as important as other. If the ROM is not providing the feathers as it is supposed to be, there should be some bugs preventing that feather to normally function. However, considering the machine itself is also far from perfect when using ROMs that it is not orginally assigned for, bugs is not avoidable; besides ROM software itself has to be developed to suite many kinds of apps from various developers. So developing software for variety of favourite is a hectic task. Android phones, for me, small ROM with small algorithms with less complexity should be a good ROM since it provides a direct access rather than going around. I have been testing many kinds of ROMs including sens, JB and Kitkat for a while and decided to stick on Kitkat rather than sens or JB. For old machine like Saga, if users could ignore some minor bugs and battery drainage in comparison to sens or JB , Kitkat is considering a good choice of ROMs around. I mainly used MoKee by Ruling after Devin Kin stop his development and found that the ROM still has some bugs such as list of apps allocated by SeperSU did not shown up and occationally lag and hang up. I found this version of ROM kindly developed by Kylon and sHAKajaada has suite my needs. Thank you very much.

It is working by itself, there is no need to fix, calling can be heard on both sides. Kylon has compiled with his fix though. The problem, I have so far is Wifi Ap, I could not figure out how to enable it, because Kylon has disable WiFi Ap.

The feature on SuperSU of which I mentioned that app permission list is not function on CM11-MoKee 2014-08-09 now is working perfectly after updated to new version of chain fire. This problem should be related to SuperSU itself.
Installing CM11 on HTC Desire
Funny thing my answer seems to go to a different thread, but nevertheless...
In the "Unofficial CM11 for Saga [06.10.14]" thread ManishGade described a blank screen after installing CM11. That may happen when boot.img has not been flashed, especially if there's a stock ROM there.
Moving from stock ICS 4.0.4 to CM11 on HTC Desire S:
1. Unlock bootloader (HTCDev etc)
2. Download cm-11-xxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip
3. Replace upload-binary (inside the zip) with patched version, or you'll get "set_metadata_recursive" error (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532300)
4. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", with 4EXTRecovery_v2.1.3RC4 (none of 1.0.0.6 I found worked for me - the screen stuck on "HTC", that's why the trick with upload-binary was needed) - http://www.4ext.net/get.php?f=4EXTRecovery_v2.1.3RC4.zip&device=saga
5. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with boot.img from the CM11 package
6. Go to the 4ext recovery (battery out/in, VolumeDown+Power, Recovery)
7. Wipe data, clear caches, install the CM11 zip package.
Regards,
Thanks I installed it last monday.
When my waranty on my desire ran out I installed Cyanogen 7.2 even though it is old it is brilliant. Last Monday I decided to install CM11 unofficial for Saga. Also a Brilliant Rom!
