https://carbonrom.org/ is having issues
Hello,
I'm getting HTTP 404 while browsing https://carbonrom.org/.
What's happening?
Thanks
Disabling NFC
Greetings,
I've been experimenting with different ROMs. This week I've been using CarbonROM on HTC One XL (evita), HTC One (m7), and LG Google Nexus 5 (hammerhead). On all three, there is an option under "Wireless & Networks" to turn OFF NFC by deselecting a check box.
The only problem is, whenever I come back to this screen, the checkbox has been re-selected. (My changes do not persist.).
Weird.
One the evita, NFC has drained the battery down 20% in 3 hours with the phone in a standby condition.
Is this a known bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
dakota
Pandora
For some reason on the nightlies past late september, I cannot get pandora working. It will play one song (or less) and then load up the next album art, etc., and then doesn't play music. It sits there while I scream at it to play. Does anyone else have this issue? Pandora is my one source of music and I can't keep going back out and in pandora to get the next song for 3 hour trips! Any help is appreciated!
So today I got notified of a new nightly update. I was scared to do it at first, seeing the 5.0 sources being available n stuff.. but then I thought, this is way too soon. But, that got me thinking: when carbon gets updated to 5.0, will it be ok to do what I always do, using the updater and just dirty flash the next nightly over the other? If yes, will there be a special notification saying this is the 5.0 update? Because now I got a gapps file and elementalx kernel in the auto flash folder, and if there's a whole new Android, those files will most likely break everything.
No I'm not asking when 5.0 is getting merged, just what's best to do when it happens. @CarbonDev

Lol...no when 5.0 is out you will have to do a complete clean wipe and will not be notified through the delta system about it. Old gapps and kernels most likely also wont work on the new 5.0 either.

I stopped updating the rom when it changed base to CM, but today I finally decided to give it a try. Now I'm getting some performance issues and I think it might be because of the kernel.
My question is: is kernel part of the nandroid backup?
I have a nandroid backup of my pre-update rom and I want to be able to switch back to it without any issues.
Thanks in advance.
Hello everybody, is there an official final release of this ROM?
Another question, are there among the features DSB, Shake Events, Multi window and Proximity wake up support?
Any plans to add long press nav bar shortcuts??
I popped my cherry.....
After 30 or so years on this planet, I've just lost my virginity to a ROM called carbon... My custom rom flashing virginity that is.
Thanks for this smooth ROM @CarbonDev - you've brought new life to my N5

I recently purchased a photon Q, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. All went well until I tried installing a new ROM. I've tried installing both Carbon and CM11 but with no luck. Thankfully, I've been keeping backups of my stock ROM so I'm still able to restore the phone and use it.
I'm currently using cwm 6.0.1.3 , and I had been trying to install the new ROMs via rom manager. I'll try to get more error details up Friday as that's when I'll attempt to install the new roms.
I tried installing the latest nightlies for both CM11 and Carbon.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.3 doesn't support SELinux and so it doesn't support any KitKat ROMs (CM11 and newer).
Use TWRP or OR as a recovery.
I wondered if that was the problem. How would I go about putting twerp on my phone? Do any threads cover that? Would it cause an issue with CWM or would I have to get rid of that in order to install TWRP?
Thanks, by the way.

The TWRP page for the Photon Q goes over how to flash TWRP.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/137
Any recovery you flash will simply overwrite the previous one. Simply flashing TWRP as normal will just replace CWM.
Same with OpenRecovery, simply flashing OR over CWM will replace CWM with OR.
Let us know if you have questions. I like the fastboot method, but there was an app in the Play Store TWRP Manager - which I have never used, but should work fine.
Awesome! I replaced cwm with twrp last night. I'm going to try installing Carbon either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for the help guys!
Well, it worked...sorta. i tried installing Carbon, but there seemed to be some kind of bug that didn't let the wifi turn on(along with some performance issues) and I have horrible reception at my place so that didn't get too far in setting up the phone.
So I installed the latest CM 11 snapshot and that's working great! Pretty awesome to be on the latest version of Android for a change!
Still want to try Carbon though, do they have more stable releases or do you just have to go out on faith with the nightlies?

I run Carbon as my daily driver, no problems.
Post in the thread if you have issues. As always, clean flash before reporting any.
I posted this in a couple other threads as well but since you guys are talking about it... do you think the Carbon is superior to the CM10/11/12 roms? I've found mine to be laggy lately. Maybe it always was I'm not sure.. lol but I was thinking of going to 10.2.1 .. someone on another thread said he did that and it was like having a different phone .. it was so fast.

Please quit cross-posting. You are severely diluting any community effort to respond to you by posting the same question in so many threads...
Truth be told, YOU need to make the decision for yourself. Take a backup of your current setup and try something new, you have nothing to lose but some time. If you don't like it, restore the backup you took (please please take a backup IN RECOVERY before making any changes).
LOL sorry lets not kid ourselves. There are 4 active threads since May 24 in this sub category of the Photon Q. My intention was not to spam-post, however given the slow movement of the forum I posted in a few relevant threads in the thinking that those who were active would have subscribed and were maybe notified Sorry if I did a few too many... for tonite I probably have had a few too many Coronas (Cervesa Mas Fina!).
This device is in a production environment. There is not much room for any downtime on the device so I do not have that luxury of playing with it. All these Photon Q's I would think have the same specs so there must be a general consensus or benchmark'ed result as to which ROM offers best performance with the usability balanced. I do need more of these devices moving forward.
Funny thing, I live within 50 miles of Blackberry's campus and they have failed us yet again. Their passport phone is a little more reliable and less buggy than last years Q or Z models, however I'm still lacking a row of numbers and a dang home and back key. When are they gonna figure it out! Just using the gesture/swipe to get to the homescreen doesn't appeal to me. You can't give me a home button? Anyway #offtopic a little.. but is there no general consensus or are they so close its difficult to pick a winner?
/Fever
Have tried a number of ROM's carbon, PAC, Cmod, stock ICS, & JB.
Tried different flavours & unofficial versions.
I'm now happier than ever, running stripped JB - removed bloat ware & other obsolete APK's, plus added a few niceties using xposed framework.
Phone is fast - as in no slow downs & pauses, like I was getting with carbon & PAC, battery is unbelievably long life - using an xposed battery saver module, plus I added extended power menu options.
The main killer of all the other custom ROM's is the persistent Bluetooth error during calls. This is something that has been in the ROMs since Cmod wrote the first one, as all the other are built off of it.
If you don't require Bluetooth for calls, then go for it - personally I am finally happy with the JB stripped & tweaked stock.

Daily driver material?
Hi!
Just wondering..is this rom good enough for daily use? Is it better than stock 4.1.2 (4.2.2 is terrible btw) because i do bot know whether to flash this or not. Also, can you flash it using cwm as I dont really like the TWRP ui

I think it's stable enough for daily use. I use it for many days without any restart or any problem.
You have to update to 4.2.2 first (It won't work on 4.1.x bootloader)
You must know to backup whatever data you don't want to loose cause a full wipe is needed.
Read the first post for warnings, bugs etc. The main bug is bluetooth headset (if you own one).
And yes, you can install from CWM. Instructions on first post.
Also, read third post to keep it fast as long and as "hard" as you use it.

I think @Bestaki23 should compile with 240dpi density.
@sujith88 no, for custom roms you need custom recovery ( CWM or Philztouch)

How to get sources for CM11 for I9105P?
In "[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][M11]Cyanogenmod 11.0" the location of the device specific source code is given as https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog..._samsung_s2vep and https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog...ys2plus-common and https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog...ys2plus-common.
How can I set up a build environment for the I9105P? I already read (an understood) "Learning to build Cyanogenmod" and getting the CM11 sources with repo is no problem, the only problem remaining is how to specify the above mentioned two device specific sources. Can this be done with a local mainfest in the local_manifest directory? If yes, how does this have to look like and what steps are necessary to sync with these two repositories? Are additional steps specific to the I9105P necessary to start a build?
Vibration
So you said the rom is good for daily use... In the main thread I saw numerous comments about vibration being buggy and sometimes non functional. Is this true? The 4.4.2 cm11 by cooldevelopement has fully working vibration. So should I flash cm11 m11 (4.4.4) or 4.4.2? And in the m11 build, are there any other bugs apart from whats listed under "known issues"? Now Android lollipop is just round the corner I hope to have at least the second latest android version :/ 4.1.2 is starting to show it's age when it comes to app compatibility...

Hi, thanks for replying! I already know there is a 4.2.2 offical firmware for the s2 plus, thanks. I dont know about you, but when I updated it I experienced major lag issues, even after doing a factory reset, claering cache, reflashing, etc. Its overall a terrible update from the almost bug free 4.1.2. However, 4.1.2 is soon 3 versions behind and I was looking into flashing one of these awesome looking ROMs that are running 4.4. (Just love how AOSP looks :3) However, I dont really know which ROM i should flash
I think I have decided to flash a cm rom, anyways, but which version should I flash? I used cooldevelopement's cm11 4.4.2 rom in the past, which seems mostly bug free. However I switched back to stock 4.1.2 due to the old youtube app versions having the pixelated vid that the 4.2.2 stock rom used to suffer from. Is this 4.4.4 cm Better or worse than the older 4.4.2 cm I installed before? Thanks in advance sorry for a long message

Google keyboard
Hi,
I just come back from the cm12, because the wifi is not stable...
I like a few thinks of the CM12. For example the new google keyboard. I have noticed, that it can be installed from play store and this is what I made yesterday, but it doesn't work with the Pac Man version pac_bacon-nightly-20141126. I have installed and unisntall the app, restore the phone, and look all the option that the system have for the keyboard, but it doesn´t work. The main problen is that it doesn't appear. I installed the swiftkey app and no problem.
Any solution? Or it doesn't work for this rom?
Regards
anyone here using a custom kernel with PAC?
and also any bug with PAC nightly version
anyone using this rom with others kernel?
Got the reply that http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/bacon/bo.../boeffla-kernel-2.0-beta15-CM11-bacon.CWM.zip runs very good with the latest Nightly, going to try it very soon.

I know I'm asking a nooby question. But is it really really necessary to wipe the system partition while flashing ROMs? Or just a factory reset will do the trick? X_X
Thanks in advance and don't mind such a stupid question
Please tell me the ROM is based on the 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 ?
Tried everything which is around forums. Tried reflashing the stuff from here *link removed due to lack of 10 posts, original cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip* as well. I was browsing playstore and switched to an other app, all of sudden Lockscreen has stopped msg appeared and that was the end of the movie. Tried to do a full wipe I couldn't get it any further than even making it worse when the phone starts now it will say Welcome to CyanogenMod I have the ability to pass step or two and it freezes again > restart. And all over again the same process. I have the phone since few days it's awesome really, but there are several OS bugs which are just ... awful. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help!
Firstly welcome to the forums, secondly MOST things are fixable.
Many people - me included - have had the same issue with CM Lockscreen and have had success with this. In a nutshell...download the NEVER SETTLE.zip file and by using fastboot do the following:
fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persit.img
But a more detailed explanation is available in the above thread.
Thanks for your reply. I managed to get around it by getting a custom ROM and installing it. With the first I choosed I got same looping error but saying AudioFX stopped. Switched to this one *can't post links yet*: [ROM] [4.4.4] [BACON] Mahdi-Rom 2.8 [10/25] - Final Release
And it works great. But it seems that the performance went down or atleast antutu says so. Since I really like the idea of having as powerful as possible device, could you recommend me the lightest possible ROM available which provides the best performance ? Thanks in advance! Also thank you for the reply, if the problem appears again (hopefully not, that was a pain in the..) I will give it a shot and have it in mind in future

Sure no problem, to be honest i have only tried CM11s , CM11 Nightlies and ColorOS on my device so far and CM11S was by far the best performing i.t.o AnTuTu score, and i stuck with it (CM11S) i unfortunately cant comment on the other roms out there. But i would think that CM11 Nightlies are as close to the lightest you'd get.

Hey is anyone having issues enabling hotspot with this rom? Mine won't turn on and breaks the wifi until I reboot the phone.
Looks like lollipop is out. Are you planning to release a rooted lollipop stock? Thanks
no data at all.
So I did something really dumb and flashed a lollipop Rom without wiping anything, coming from 4.2.2. my phone got stuck in a black screen saying something about fastboot. I then somehow got into recovery and flashed a stock d850 Rom cause I didn't already feel I was being stupid enough. I got stuck in that black screen again and after I noticed it wasn't even a Rom for my phone I flashed a nightly from a couple days ago and got that to boot after a couple tries of it just taking me to a blue screen saying I had a modem crash.
If you're still reading, this is where things get weird. Now everything works perfectly except there's no data only WiFi, so I switched to this stock rom thinking it would fix it but no, the icon in the status bar has an x, the toggle is crossed out, there's no toggle for it in the settings, and any other setting having to do with data is greyed out. Does anyone have a clue what's going on? I feel like I've searched everywhere but I can't find anything
