Why choose for CarbonRom?
CarbonRom is an AOSP based rom, which is always compiled with the latest linaro toolchain. The kernel also is compiled with -O3 optimizations for better performance. It also gives you a great option of customization. Reasons to go for CarbonRom are:
- Compiled with Linaro, this will make your phone ultrafast and ultrasmooth
- AOSP based, s no bloatware or other stuff
- Great Customization options
- Nice look
- HALO
- ...
Current Version
CarbonRom 2.0 is still in early stages, it's Android 4.3, but not all features are implemented!
I won't manually search for all new features, just wait for an official 2.0 changelog when it is completed.
- Android 4.3
- HALO
- DSP Manager
- New battery icons
- stability and speed enhancements
- a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.
What is CarbonRom?
CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.
We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.
Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, * * * * * @FXP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. *If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.

Android 4.2.2 stable version
1.7 is a pretty big update for us! Check out the changelog on our goo.im page for more, but here are the highlights:
-We've fixed PIE! It no longer decides to be invisible from time to time.
-We fixed the battery charge light! None of us use it but apparently you guys are just nuts for it!
-Dark Carbon! Huge props to Slim Roms for coming up with this unique and awesome feature.
-Lockscreen theming
-CM skinny battery is back!
-Volume key lock on silent mode option
-Backup tool - if you're flashing a new version of Carbon and already have the required version of gapps installed, it will be backed up and restored during install. This applies to system apps and custom host files as well. Please note that you should only dirty flash from Carbon to Carbon. It's ok if it's another version or a nightly - just not over other roms. Super handy for you crack flashers. Make sure you've got the most recent Gapps though, and if you're flashing from a factory reset, you'll still need to install it after install of course.
-Long pressing the "clear recents" button clears the cache
-3.4 kernel on D2xxx devices. It's finally stable enough where we're comfortable with this - remember to only flash other 3.4 kernels or it will not boot as there are rom-level dependencies.
-AOKP's awesome new navbar settings
-NFC polling mode for when you want to keep your screen off and scan tags
-MMS and call "breathe" feature. Makes the notification icon fade in and out.
-Mute dings when changing volume
-Disable/enable CRT effect on screen on/off.
-3rd party keyboard bug fixed
-deodexed again
-stability and speed enhancements
-a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.

[4.2] I'm coming from a 10.1.A.1.253 rom, but my NFC doesn't work..
- Install the 10.1.A.1.253 fw FTF file again, wipe everything, exclude nothing from the flash
- Let the phone boot and update NFC firmware.
- Follow the initial wizard and reboot
- NFC will be working now
- Reflash Carbon rom
Looks very promising! Hope to test this soon :good:
OMG it looks clean!!! cant wait to try
but i guess the first release is not usable as a daily driver, right? becoz home button and pie control don't work yet

Yes, I haven't had time to test it really good, it was 1am at night so I only did a quick test since it was late.
Didn't tested the release with gapps. Going to do more testing today, and will build a new nightly and try to solve some bugs
Download:
Download link added, it's yesterday's build! Enjoy the testing guys, after all, the more you test, the more bugs that will be found and can be solved

I don't know the CM bugs there is phablet, tablet and phone mode, but it doesn't work 100% yet, phablet works best I think.
Anyway, there is no bug like delay when turning on screen like in CM

Yes, sure, is a very pleasure can help you, this are the most important bugs that i found in 15 minute of test:
1) For some people there is no BB, it says "Baseband unknown".
Workaround -> Change Mobile Network to GSM/WCDMA and reboot
2) There is a little delay when you wake up the device after a long time it is in deepsleep
3) During call, put the call on speaker and the audio is on internal speaker is gone untill reboot.
anyway good work Grab, really :good:
Can confirm that the Recovery from this ROM works with CM10.1, I did miss TWRP, so thanks for that, and at last the recovery actually reboots the system unlike the recovery from CM.
Thanks so much for this, looking forward to test out your ROM also.:good:

tell us something about your plans. What will u change ?
eagerly waiting for stable release..!!
Wifi hotspot is not working in your ROM?
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
The aokp rom is arguably the fastest ics rom, but battery life has been pretty dreadful. It's the one thing that prevents me using it permanently.
Wifi hotspot isnt working for now. but hopefuly soon (fxp related)
Found that contacts apk isnt themed (my fault) uploaded an hotfix see first post
Thanks for the rom, I really like AOKP.
Like Allessandra rom and the other AOKP one, rom control doesn't have data toggle, you can replace ROMcontrol.apk by the one from the latest AOKP build (build35). Themed black contact is awesome, like it.
By the way, if you need help I will be happy to help you if I can. I haven't so much of knowledge but I can learn fast, so...
Good luck, really hope AOKP became stable for our Arc / S.
Cheers.
Will fix romcontrol.apk wrong Version when im home 8pm
Sent from my Xperia Arc using xda premium
gud news. someone from team xperia able to boot up his arc aokp rom with my kernel. just need to test/fix small issues, then you r good to go to have kernel with touch recovery
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
Hi
@ sirkay: That sounds realy nice you are awesome take your time
Btw hotfix for romcontrol is on the first post now
Okay, I found a little problem, at least for me.
I use an app called "Neufbox TV" in France wich is an app for watch adsl TV. I can't remember if it work on other AOKP but on your ROM, there's sound but no video at all.
Don't know if it can be fixed ?
@nono83
please make an logcat when running the app then i can look at this.
When you dont now how to create the logcat feel free to pm me
Thanks mericon.
I'm back on my Gingerbread backup. I'll test again when you make a new release or if I'm bored this week-end.
Thanks again.

i think that does not help, because flashing the rom works without probs.
I have been compiling InfamousAOKP as well as Paranoid Android for the galaxy tab (P7510/p4wifi & P7500/p4). Although I like the HALO feature of PA, I also found several features lacking in PA. Then I came across Carbon ROM:
http://goo.im/devs/carbon
They make a ROM based on AOSP, merging key features of CM, AOKP & PA. This, combined with Linaro used for ROM building, results in an impressive ROM -> high speed & versatility. I decided to port this ROM to our device as well.
Details 6-Aug release
Upstream source code of 5-August (including further improvements to HALO)
-> If coming from anything before the 11-July build, you have to reflash gapps!
Details 18-July release
Upstream source code of 18 July (including further improvements to HALO)
-> If coming from anything before the 11-July build, you have to reflash gapps!
Details 14-July release
Upstream source code of 14 July (including many improvements to HALO)
Build for both p4 & p4wifi
Latest Infamous 2.3 kernel
-> If coming from anything but the 11-July build, you have to reflash gapps!
Details 11-July release
Upstream source code of 11 July
-includes the important security patch of CM10.1.1
Infamous kernel 2.1:
-many updates to wifi & modem
This build will require a reflash of your gapps packages, normal backup/restore of gapps will work again from the next build!
Details 18-June beta release
Infamous 1.9 kernel:
-Fix fox l2_hsic problem
Improved wifi driver (from pershoot)
ROM:
-Update codebase 18-Jun
-HALO comes with a master switch so it can be disabled (default = disabled, so you have to activate it the first time booting)
-Small improvements to p4-common device tree (should make things smoother)
Details 12-June
-Source code 13/06/2013 (with Halo; you need to use PhabletUI to activate Halo, you can then switch to tabletUI)
-ROM build with Linaro 4.7 toolchain/O3, but kernel with 4.6 (to prevent reboot issues).
-Infamous kernel 1.7
Not extensively tested yet, so that is also why I added the alpha in the topic title!
I have only built this ROM for p4wifi/p4.
If you want to build it for another device, you can find the source code on my github:

PA gapps:
http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps
Just one note: the PA gapps are extremely fully packed. I have no interest in 50+% of the apps included, so I removed them before flashing from the zip file (on a Windows PC you can use e.g. 7zip to do that).

Wow... This will be the Rootbox for the tablet. Count with me to test. :good:
aokp + CM + PA is the best combination of features and I'm using for months on Galaxy Nexus (maguro).
p4 version online now.
Same codebase as p4wifi, which works fine on p4wifi, but I did not test this ROM on p4. So be prepared for the worst when installing this!

Installed on P4 without any problems so far. (I'm not using a simcard though).
Looking forward to future releases. Infamous Rom felt more smooth...

But I'll have little internet connection for next 3 days... I'll test, but I'll wait until next week.
Thanks for the release and hope you do not abandon the development.

You can also use the gapps from the CM10.1 thread. The PA ones are simply more updated (and contain a better keyboard).
Thanks, works great!
Great ROM
Installed this mornig. Really impressed with features and performance. Thank you!
Congrats to Kasper
He did it again.
Smooth Rom.
Unfortunately no option to remove the Google search bar & enlarge the screen.
That's why I chose for his PA Rom
Keep up the good work

Seem to be having issues with Google Now. It loads and then closes. I tried clearing data from the App settings but this didn't help at all. It get all the way to loading the keyboard and then closes. Ideas?

You have to go GoogleNow settings (once it starts, immediately hit the settings button (3 vertical dots) in the lower right corner and uncheck "Block offensive words" and other privacy-related checkboxes you might have there. Of course, you have to hit the settings button very quickly since you GNow shuts down fast upon open. The key here is that in order to stop GNow from foreclosing, you have to get to GNow settings.
Alternatively, use cLock settings (look for them in Android Settings) to add a settings button to the taskbar, and then start GNow and hit that newly-added Settings button, which acts as a normal application-related settings button once you open any app. Then proceed to changing the GNow settings that I mentioned above.
I like the ROM. Really.
It feels like mey Galaxy Nexus on PA linaro.
Only the Phablet interface was a little... slow, but normal Tablet interface works fine for me.
Keep it up

I prefer Apex launcher, even better than Trebuchet
I prefer the additional settings in Carbon over PA. I was mainly missing the navbar customization from AOKP

CMHasty ROM
Unofficial CM10 build with optimized toolchain, Linaro and O3 Optimization
This is a CM10 build with emphasis on code optimization and speed
I not intend to add any mod or big change in original CM10 code, this ROM was build for the purpose of speed based on code optimization
It is based on latest source from CM10 with Linaro patches, a Toolchain special build for Xperia Arc CPU and personalized device tree for better device optimization
Changelog:

Revert "Enable hardware acceleration (Lower the RAM requirement)" - This was consuming much RAM and having big impact in multitasking, how this change was more visual than practical, I decided to revert to the default behavior.
Improvement in Kernel:
backport lowmemorykiller from CAF msm-3.4
Optimize page_alloc allocations
Other Tweaks
20131104
Both the ROM and the Kernel was built with a toolchain specially made for this ROM and device, designed to extract the maximum optimization, with great impact on overall performance.

You did a full wipe and test with kernel inside, or test direct with 3.4?
Because I dont have this problem, and it seems to be relate to cache or previous data.

OmniROM is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts.
All the source code for OmniROM is available in the OmniROM Github repo.
We'll not support users and answer questions from users which:
- are running a custom kernel
- have flashed mods
- modified system files
- didn't follow our intructions word by word
- are unfriendly
Even if you tell us that your problem is not related to your custom kernel /mod / magic => WE DON'T CARE!
Your mod => your problem!
Official OmniROM Wiki:
http://docs.omnirom.org
First time installing OmniROM to your Xperia V, or coming from another ROM:
- Read known issues and FAQs
- Copy GApps and OmniROM ZIPs to your SDCard
- Unlock Bootloader
- Flash boot.img with fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
- Boot into Recovery (push volume down on boot if you can see sony logo)
- Flash OmniROM zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!
Upgrading from earlier version of OmniROM:
- Copy the OmniROM ZIP to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash the OmniROM zip from SDCard
- Reboot
Issues:
- some users reported bluetooth pairing problem.
- offline charging no animation

A question Herr Walter:
Any chance that the kernel would work on other ROM, such as AOKP?
And, if yes, can this be made into a flashable zip?
Thank you for your input.
Sent from my Xperia V using Tapatalk
Good to see this finally coming to the V. And no the kernel is not separable from the ROM so the kernel cannot be flashed onto another KK ROM.
As for reboots, there should be none - as with the T the new kernel should fix all instability issues.

It's not as simple as a quick kernel and props flash - the system depends on the kernel that is being compiled alongside - the entire ROM needs to be compiled along with the kernel or you'll get breakage.
this sounds promising...
is there anymore work planned on this rom? i would love to have omnirom...or ANY real custom ROM
I switched to kernel source from sony. Maybe i can compile new rom later. Camera is fixed some firmeware file were missing. Still problems with Wlan and GPS
I am back to omni kernel.
Wifi works now. http://d-h.st/XVF
Use wifi firmware from kernel / mint (xperia t)
check /system/etc/firmware/wlan and replace files with files from Xperia T omni.
Edit:
Recovery fixed: use this in bootrec-device
export BOOTREC_EVENT_NODE="/dev/input/event7 c 13 72"
export BOOTREC_EVENT="/dev/input/event7"
Next Camera and GPS.
both camera fixed.
next step fix gps.

gps works partial now. It did not work if you have enabled wifi

BSOD's are now as much as you should have on a stock rom, cause it is the same kernel. So rarely Should be really stable like I have on my Xperia T!
I have to update and test my source now. If everthing works well i will build a new test rom. Files from 9.2.A.1.210 official
I m back to omnirom kernel.
Kernel works well.

This ROM is an unofficial build on CyanogenMod 12.1. Originaly (back in November 2014), the project was only about the kernel but I thought that a full ROM might a better.
So, why would you install this ROM ?
The main reason would be to upgrade significantly the kernel :
- get rid of the old LNX.LA.3.5.1 kernel base (from February 2014) and switch to a brand new LA.BF lollipop base
- to get a smoother experience of CyanogenMod
- to enjoy some CAF taste in all of his glory
- if you are an enthusiast
This ROM uses custom HALs so I'm not responsable of incompatibility with eventual custom kernels and I won't "Add support"
ROM Features :
- Based off latest generic CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly source
- OTA updates via built-in CMUpdater (LZMA Compressed)
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 display HAL (improved display performance)
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 media HAL (improved video performance)
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 audio HAL (improved audio performance)
- Latest Motorola LPB23.13-37 5.1 Vendor Files
- Latest kernel.org f2fs binaries
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 Media Codecs / Audio Policy / Bluetooth configs
- LZMA Compressed recovery images
- QCOM Bionic Optimizations
Kernel Features :
- Based off latest CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 kernel source from Qualcomm
- As clean as possible, it matches CAF
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 Wi-Fi Prima driver (better wifi performance)
- Uses ZEN i/O Scheluder by default
- First Lollipop Overclock
- Underclocking
- Smartmax Governor
- My own akm8963 driver re-work for LPM/HBM mode
- The best is in comming
But, why is it in alpha ?:
It's in alpha state because not many people tested it and maybe there are some unknown bugs.
Speaking of bugs here they are :
Code:
[B]Known bugs[/B]
- 5 sec blackscreen at boot (doesn't affect bootime) [B][COLOR="red"][/COLOR]the first boot blackscreen is even longer so just wait and it will boot, builds or tested do not worry[/B]
- Offline charge is broken (same reason as blacksreen)
I released even if those bugs because they doesn't break the ROM experience itself (and because I wait for realeasing this ROM since ages)
They will, of course, fixed as soon as possible.

1000 posts YAY !
I'm not a fan of CM but my brain forces me to try this...
Can't try this ROM right now since I use my moto g as my daily driver but good to see some nice development going on!

It's fully stable, you just don't see 5 sec from the bootanimation.
I will install it and try it but I need to charge my Moto G Good job !!!
Damn, bootanimation doesnt show at all, i reflashed three times thinking something was wrong, and i lost patience thinking my phone turned off after google logo, but it booted. It works great btw, stable and all, and overall fast. Nice work. Now just remove the stupid cm theme engine and implement layers, and you have most custom unoffical cyanogenmod rom.

Yeah, the bootanimation bug is annoying, but you'll see that you get just a 5 sec blackscreen on reboots. It was just the first boot xD
Hmmm ... I don't think I will remove the CM Theme Engine : as I said, this project wasn't a ROM originally (I made a ROM to avoid HAL issues actually) I just wanted to make big background optimizations. So on the apparence/look part, I won't differ from CM.
My opinion (is still black screen after flashing). Just make optimizations and don't change the features or other things. To be just an optimized CM 12.1 ROM.

Too bad, well i guess i'll stay with the stock theme then, because i seek for stability, and that's pretty rare nowadays.

And we can expect updates on this project? I'm not asking for ETA, i just want to be shure this is not a one time thing

This 5 sec black screen will stay until I fixed SOL in MDSS.

All my working projects (AOSParadox, TWRP, or CM now) are getting continuous work and updates. I just don't like to post "empty" updates with an un-interessting changelog.
I just made the first stage of this project xD So much is about to come

Hi,
I installed all my apps about 30 apps and every app work without problems fc or other problems except one: Zonga - it's a music streaming app developed by Vodafone Romania and in other ROMs it's working but here it doesn't have sound and If I press play doesn't play from first I need to skip the track and the next one plays without music.
I will attach soon a logcat.
