Had to flash with pagapps then go to slim center to get them. Ref lashed and it works good. On art. Love the camera. Flashed the cm WiFi fix. Haven't tried it yet but it does stay active. Like all the options. Been following this ROM on the RAZR forums, tickled that y'all brought it over for us red headed stepchildren.

Hahaa And, I should really change the OP for my Slim builds - it makes it sound like this was posted by a Slim team member..
I am not affiliated with the SlimRoms team. I just build it for some of the Moto OMAP4 devices (I have an Atrix 2). But, yea, it would not be possible without the work of the Slim team, along with Hashcode, dhacker29, stargo (with his contributions for kitkat), and many others..
Also, do you guys have Paranoid Android yet? If all is well with Slim, I will probably add targa to my PA builds too...

this is the one I used and it worked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535920
That's the one I've used for liquid, gummy, cm, and now slimkat. It has worked on all of them. I'm excited about pa coming to bionic. So far the only issue I've had with slimkat is the phone gets goofy and Black's out, but I've had similar issues with all of the, 4.4.2 ROMs.. I'm thinking its a cm base issue.
I'm lovin this rom!!! it fixed the Bionic whine which the other aosp roms don't!!!!
A couple of observations
1. once the wifi has been turned off it won't let you turn it back on (unless you toggle the device in and out of airplane mode)
2. activating data seems longer than in most roms
3. would love, love, love to have pie on this rom
also I have yet to try ART has anyone tried and noticed a difference with ART
Did anyone find a way to clear all in recents? That's an option I really like but don't see by default. Even better if you could move it to the lower left like carbon used to.

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:

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).

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!

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

question
kasper_h
I use Carbon on my Note 2 - great rom
quick question - can you run multiple users on your Carbon build here
I use 1 user for me, and one for the rugrats
hopefully can do same here ( I know themes cant work with multiple users )
PLEASE READ:
This AOSP is not limited to source changes from CM, Vanir, CNA, EOS, Carbon, AOKP etc. you get the best of all of them. All features included have been reworked to eliminate performance sinks and memory leaks and subtly improved as i see fit also. Finally, this rom is compiled using GLOBAL -O3 -fstrict-aliasing. I don't just turn it off where there's violations like every other "linaro" ROM source i've seen listed. This is the real deal. Latest linaro toolchain snapshot and proper use of the current 4.8 GCC features so it actually means something to say it's compiled with GCC 4.8.
Disclaimer: Because I'm using building using commits from every major repo in existence it may take a while to integrate some of the major features to my standards. I may release a stock AOKP feature as a beta until I have the chance to improve it but I'm not interested in band-aid fixing things or duck taping **** together just to get more crap under the features list and change log. Also, If you have questions or interest in building or joining vanirAOSP please message me on gtalk: [email protected] and feel free to add me on google+
here is a link to the parent thread where you can view previous change logs and perhaps find an answer to a question
general features:
vanirAOSP base: all features included, always the latest
customized-for-speed launcher2
optimized memory usage
current bug fixes and improvements from all major repos
additional features not present in vanir
attention to the details
minor UI theming/cleanup
custom embedded beats 5.1 drivers
multimedia enhancements
A-GPS enhancements
inverted theme included
ad removal
custom written init.d and cron setup
improved performance settings
browser tweaks
fast torch
customizable nav bar, quicksetting tiles, yatta yatta
full Linaro optimizations (now rebasing directly from their gerrit)
optimized networking

Why choose for CarbonRom?
CarbonRom is an AOSP based rom. It also gives you a great option of customization. Reasons to go for CarbonRom are:
- AOSP based, so 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.
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.
Screenshots
Download Carbon
All Carbon downloads and further information such as features, changelog, and FAQ can be found here in the second post of this thread.
I'll continue building nightlies daily in the week, and sometimes also in the weekends. I'll post the download links here, but I'll also try to make some sort of easier way in the future when my rom is stable and I'll be officially part of the Team Carbon maintainers.
Support

I have an SGP312. The GPS is the main purpose of me owning this tablet. I based that decision off of the fact that it is supposedly one of the few android tablets that use the GLONASS satellites (Russian, I believe)(iPads have been using this for a while) to have better coverage. It looks like we are still a bit away from having daily drivers for me.
Thanks for checking anyway.

Some hints:
1. Be sure you are on latest CWM or TWRP recovery!!!!!!
2. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working. If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course
3. Full wipe when coming from any 4.4 rom (as well format system manually please)

Reporting Bugs
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.
The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3a. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3b. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
4. Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.
5. Post the logcat in a txt file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread.
Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).
Damn, this was some sweet 24 hours for this device. The party sure kick started. Good to see you here OP, nice work.
F'ing awesome to see the slimrom for z2.
Thanks for the sweet love for the greatest device
Runs well, unfortunately since it is based off of CM11 it has the freezing issue after a reboot. It also borked my recovery and I had to reflash through fastboot. Otherwise it's not bad.

Hai, Good ROM,can have separated twrp recovery flash by fastboot in future?
where is the Gapps link-i only need playstore,
Thanks

Hello,
Some of you may know me from the Mako forums as I built the temasek ROM (cm11) in the past. I am not a person to make elaborate OPs, so it will be simple.
First off, I would like to thank:
temasek
temasek's contributors
CyanogenMod
crpalmer
cristianomatos and his crdroid team
whoever else that contributed to the source code for temasek
@mrapp helping in testing cm12.1 ROM
This ROM is based off of cm12 with added customization and enhancements to temasek's and my liking. I will not be building every day, and I will upload ROMs as I feel. It will take longer for me to build since I will be using an older laptop to do the work. I need my newer one for other purposes. However, if a quick build with fixes need to be added, I will use my newer laptop for a speedy build. If there are bugs or problems, please let me know and do not complain about it since I am only sharing what I am building. However, I will do my best to get it fixed and as time permits.
source: https://github.com/temasek?tab=repositories
link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26938
GApps for 5.1: http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=27426
To flash this ROM, you all know what to do. Flash ROM, gapps, etc. I am also not responsible for any damage that you may incur on your phone. Flash wisely and responsibly.
You may be able to dirty flash if coming from the official cm12 ROM or any cm12 based ROM. Backup is advised
Enjoy
P.S. If you would like to donate, please donate to temasek. I do not accept donations because I do this for fun and for myself. Don't spend on me, save your money
extras:
Since AudioFX doesn't really work, you can use DSPManager that is modded to work with the ROM (Equalizer visualizer breaks however): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540373
Here are different files that make AudioFX work: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952592281
Also, if you want Nexus 6 ui sounds, you can flash that as well: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540374
From the 4/17 build and on, it now can use Google's version of Webview. You should download Google's version of webview from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview. Sign up for beta versions here: https://plus.google.com/communities/105434725573080290360. Google's webview will be more up to date with fixes, security enhancements, and features
Thanks bro!
I loved Temasek's ROM for my Galaxy SIII. Glad to see you are bringing the goodies for our beloved Moto X. Much appreciated.

CM is working on it. When they merge it, then it can be looked at

New build is up! There is a disclaimer: I took out the feature of linking the ringer and notification volume since it did not work. That being said, I am hoping that while doing so it did not break anything else. Please let me know if there are any bugs, typos, and/or mismatches and I will try to fix it (no guarantee). You can view this build as more of a test type, and if nothing bad happens, then it will make me (and you all) happy
Other changes are device specific things and some CM stuff. Enjoy
Edit: I am using a build that I've compiled that's a bit older than the uploaded one with the feature reverted. I haven't seen an issue, but perhaps it'll be different for some of you
New build is up! There aren't many changes since CM has been somewhat slowing down for now (hoping 5.1 is soon). I did remove the notification volume step since Ringer volume is tied with Notification volume. Some bug fixes, more blobs, and more kernel changes were added
New build is available. Only fixes and enhancements were added
sent from my Nexus 7
new build. 4k recording is now back (I was able to select that option in Google Camera)
