Carbon rom! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Check goo manager, there are 2 nightlys for carbon rom for our device. Used to run it on the Gnex. Pretty slick features.

Tried nightly 3. Didn't notice any issues at all. The options for carbon seem practically endless.
It's now on nightly 4. He should start a thread to get the word out.

I'm sure Carbon is a good rom but can anyone give an idea of what it can do that the device cannot do on the stock rom with custom launcher and third party apps? Since the Sprint S4 version does not have it's own changelog (at least I didn't see one) not sure what features are working and what doesn't. Also, don't you lose all the air gestures, eye tracking, etc when going to AOSP rom?

I tried nightly 3 and I kept getting setup wizard fc. do I have to flash an aosp kernel or does it come with one.

Yes your going to loose the entire set of unique TW features that come with the S4 - air gestures, smart scroll, etc. A lot of people don't care for those features, me personally, I like to show them off but I don't ever really use them.
A lot of people absolutely despise the TW interface. And yes some of it can be changed with third party apps and mods but not all of it. Some people want the clean AOSP experience, you can easily theme your entire interface (dialer, messaging, unique colors, blah) with themes from the play store without the need for downloading a bunch of third party apps for each individual thing you want to change. Also native DPI changer is included in a lot of AOSP roms. It's really just personal preference. None of the Samsung bloat, Sprint bloat, awful TW colors, just check out roms like AOKP, AOSPA, CM, etc, on other devices.
I recommend checking out Slimbean for our device to get the general gist of what AOSP roms provide you with.

I really liked Slimbean but ended up going back to TW, AOSP is getting there, but I ran into too many bugs that I didn't have to deal with when I was using TW. I miss just being able to switch roms as I please, but my job kind of requires me having a phone that works, all the time, and quickly. Hopefully in the next week or so those issues are fixed because they seem to be on the nightly (or in the process of being fixed on the nightly) (all my problems were with signal and calling. Ex: distorted voice, bars were all over the place and I randomly lost signal in places where I had full bars of 4G with TW)
Just a word of caution if you decide to hop ship from touchwiz.
Besides that, AOSP>Touchwiz because I sure as hell only use the features to show off, i'd much rather have a stock unified UI than having to download apps to achieve that. It's also alot quicker since you don't have the framework of TW and the features weighing it down :good:

Carbon was ok, but... I really liked JBSourcery and wouldn't mind seeing it come to our phone. But if I had my choice I would take a Caulklin ROM in a heartbeat. Man I am all over the place.

I'm familiar with AOSP roms (ran them on many other phones) but was specifically asking about Carbon. Not bagging on AOSP roms just seems like a larger sacrifice with all the newer features of the S4. Granted I do think a lot are gimmicky and don't work that well but do use Smartstay & IR functions.
Just curiosity more than anything.

Roms with games

Yeah... Roms are about improving the phone performance/experience, not about including things you normally have to pay for for free.

Take any ROM of ur choice, and load the games/movies u have. Loading a ROM for a movie in it, well, I don't think its a wise decision. ROMs are considered based on factors like base OS version, modem, speed, battery life, and other features based on user's preference. Games/Movies on it are not part of core ROM, so don't form a base for people creating ROMs.
A dev could include free games distributed under GPL, but that would increase the size of his ROM and could be a deterrent for some people. So things like this are left at user's discretion for installation.

The ROM creators either keep or remove stock apps or add apps that were designed for the SGS. You are asking about proprietary media that was included on the Vibrant.

For the last time nope these apps require Samsung framework included only in the touchwiz roms
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Simple answer: NO
S-Pen apps and features require Samsung framework, There is no Samsung framework in any CM / AOSP / AOKP ROMs.
However there are alternative apps that do similar jobs.
Check the list of alternatives in the CM threads.
Thank you for the quick reply!

You could always use a TW Based Customer ROM - CleaNote or something...
Wow youre the first person asking this kidding.
There was a legend working on it, but because he is a really good developer, he has to prioritize. Currently he is cm10 ing, which the whole community is wanting, only fraction is wanting touchwizz on cm9/10.
I guess you can try by searching and not asking, who that person is. Ask him by pm if you can help. He has been mentioned three to four times already.
The philosophy of xda (I am noob and development illiterate, my lameass excuse) is if its not here, you want it, you build it! At least 2 other people will be happy so its rewarding

Custom ROM breakthrough for Android?

So, been wondering for a while. When will the next big "Customized" ROM occur? We've already gotten MIUI and its pretty cool, but wouldn't you want to see something new? Something not based off of iOS or Android in general but still able to to run on Android? Something fresh, new, never before seen? I've no idea what it would look like or how it would run, but maybe you guys do? A "Wish list" if you will, the appearance, how it preforms (keep in mind Hardware limitations of various phones), etc.
I guess I can (dream) start:
-The next potential Cyanogenmod but appears nothing like your standard Android OS
-Running on ICS and JB?
Just bored and I wanna see what some people can come up with. Maybe if a talented developer or a group of them could come together to pull something off? (One can only imagine)

There's a limit to what a developer can do with the Android source code, especially with a biannual release schedule. I'm not sure there will be anything radically different any time soon. If Google switches to one major update a year it might be possible.
I've always thought ParanoidAndroid looked cool but never tried it. It's a tablet hybrid ROM for phone.

If you mean Sony's XCMB it probably won't happen. They aren't exactly fans of outside development.
Something like Windows phone? The UI I mean, its pretty "outside the box" a ROM that's "never before seen" A status bar that is accessible via swiping from the left or right? A Facebook friendly ROM? (Will never happen unless FB releases source code) Let your ideas flow!

[Q] Compatibility with AOSP?

I am really interested in purchasing a smart watch and I have been looking at the gear since I currently have a note3. My problem is I always flashing AOSP based Roms once they become available and I don't want this $300 watch to become useless once I do. How much functionality is retained when running on an AOSP based ROM like cm, pa or aokp? And I remember some people were complaining about notifications not working for all apps has there been a fix?

There has not, Touchwiz is the only way to receive notifications at this time..
Perhaps in the future, once ATN becomes more stable it could work on AOSP.

Rom Wish List / Idea

Now that I have root, and can at least flash zips through OpenRecoveryScript, I have been thinking about what I want out this rom, but got me thinking about an idea. While we have kitchens in the past, I do not think anyone has ever done a web-based kitchen. i.e. select the options you want on a web-page and it compiles the zip in the background and then lets you download.
This has been done for years in the programming industry for frameworks (jquery, etc)..
Anyways... Here are some ideas of my dream rom
Options
carousel mode
Screen on with text
Remove HTC apps (Blink Feed, Kid Mode, etc)
Remove stock apps (Mail, browser, etc)
Remove all languages except one you use
Move Google apps outside of /system/ that way they can be added and deleted as needed.
Remove live wall papers
Add common community apps such as Wi-F Tether, etc
Basically build a base rom with the stand rom featuers, zip-aligned, de-odexed, tweaks, etc...
I know alot of this is an option with AROMA installer, but by doing it this way, it makes the download that much smaller.....
Thoughts??
I vote we go for kernel source and get CM, omni, carbon, cfxperiment ect going Personal opinion
I'll add to the list
Alternative (or combine) LTE/Spark icons
Alternative battery icon with %
Remove NFC icon
Xposed Installer
Exchange Security Bypass

Well, for stock, I'd love everything removed that you could get from the play store, and a folder separate with removed apps if you wanted them.
Aroma is cool and all, but takes longer than this method.
Configurable buttons and long press options.
Oh, and an amazing kernel!
I made a stripped down rom for the gs3 called BareBones and I'll probably make a similar rom for this phone as well.
Beanstalk, my dd from the jewel. But it is CM based so we need that first.

For what its worth Myn now has a HTC one M8 and may start developing again. For those that remember Warm rom will know his work quality. He is on VZW now but I will try to help as much as I can with mine. Him coming back to HTC is what motivated me to loose the Nexus 5 and return to HTC.
I would like to see the app drawer smooth scroll instead of by pages....I hate haveing to stretch for a icon at the top of screen when I could have had it in middle or more accessible
