CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. The team is composed of former members of Team Liquid who have forked the code in an attempt to bring greater speed, better coding, and full authorship to code. We are in no way affiliated with Liquid0624. The rom was forked at Liquid beta 3.2.1 and has since undergone major code changes and modifications. Please note that on some devices the kernel is not yet linaro compiled.
Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub
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.

So....video recording will not work on this ROM I assume? This is the only thing I'm holding out on before I unlock my bootloader and load any 4.2.x ROM

There is an 11 page thread with 200+ replies about this ROM over on Droid-Hive. There's a link to the thread in the OP. The recurring problems I've read about over there are difficulty with GPS lock, lack of screen brightness control, lack of video recording capability, overheating. From what I've read the only one of those issues that seems widespread (rather than some having the problem and others NOT having the problem) is lack of video recording. I'm still running stock ROM 4.1.2 rooted with unlocked bootloader but I'm reading all the time about custom ROMs. Haven't found the one I'll take the plunge on as I need the functions that typically are problematic (Bluetooth, camera, etc) but from what I've read Carbon seems like a solid choice.

I've been running Carbon for about a week now and from personal experience here are the issues I've encountered.
1) No video recording
2) The phone can run hot when used for a little bit
3) Random reboots have increased. I didn't have one until about day 3 in and yesterday I had 3.
4) I would say the data signal is not quite as strong.
5) I can't personally send MMS. I was able to for about a day but after a random reboot, i was unable to get it to work again. But no one else seemed to have that issue.
I personally had no difficulties with GPS or Brightness. There is a new build out released yesterday but for me the brightness was stuck at 100% so I reverted back to the older version until that's fixed. Just thought you guys might want to hear from someone who's been using it as a DD. It's awesome - probably the best ROM out for the HD right now. But of course it has it's flaws.

Been running this since late last week and so far it's the best 4.2 rom I've used. I've not seen a single random reboot, GPS and MMS work fine and battery life is comparable to the other 4.2 roms I've installed. I have seen some sluggishness that required a manual reboot (wiping caches for good measure) to fix. I did noticed the phone running a bit hot a few times, but nothing much worse than other custom roms. Overall it's smooth and responsive with great customization options.

I agree it is probably the best choice available. According to the dev, the update was just a new link...not an actual update. I was going to flash it until I read that. I've had the reboot issue but considering where this phone was a month ago, I am happy.
Also there is a new CM10 over at the Razr site. I am going to give it a try this weekend but it will have to be flawless for me to leave Carbon.

I went back to Nexusque today. After nearly a week with perfect GPS on this rom it just decided it did not want to lock even though it had a fix on 14 birds this morning.
After a reboot the GPS would not work at all. Booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik made no difference either. Oh well, next time it's updated I'll give it another look.

I had the same problem. I had to install from a stock based ROM (I used the 4.1.2 stock). Now GPS is working after each reboot (which unfortunately is like 3-4 times a day) I get if you want to wait for an update, but wanted to let you know there is possibly a solution out there if you really want to use this ROM.

Yeah, I'm sure the GPS stock-lock boogie would get it fixed, but I'm kinda past wanting to bother with it. I love this rom, but if things are just going to spontaneously break like that I would just as soon camp on a stock based rom till Hashcode gets the 4.2 kernel done.

the ROM sounds nice, i downloaded it and tried to set it up, but i have a question, i am using the phone overseas, so i am not on Verizon, how can i add APN settings please? and how to select GSM only? thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply, but actually i have xt926, the verizon one, i dont think the GSM version would work with it, the phone was working normal on stock and almost all the other ROMs
if just i can find how to enter the APN settings, it used to be under the access point name

ok i found the APN settings, i entered the APN, the same i used to use all the time on other ROMs but there is no internet, i think it is ROM related, i dont know why i cant post on DH till now, i posted on post, after that i cannot post that is why i am posting here

Who noticed how much more battery life we used to get on Sense 5.0 4.3?
Seriously, with KitKat, I can only get about 3.5/15 at best.
But I was looking through some older ROM and kernel threads, and people were getting insane numbers like 6/24.
I decided to revert to a 4.3 ROM, Sense 5.5, but no dice. According to GSam, "Android System" and "Kernel" were still using ~20% of my battery.
My mother's One, I noticed, doesn't have that drain, and uses a sense 5 ROM, so I went back even further.
Now, I can definitely see an increase in battery life, with Android System and Kernel using ~8% of battery. It goes even lower during standby.
I know the International guys don't have this problem, they still get insane numbers on KitKat.
So, does anyone else want to see if their battery life is better on JB?
Or is everyone here OK with about half the battery life they used to get?

I usually get through at least a day even under the worst Sprint network signal, so I'm good for my personal use case. Great signal from Sprint I get two days, poor signal I get one. As far as I know, the reason international gets better battery life is due to the GSM radio. CDMA phones use more battery than GSM - especially Sprint phones since they work harder to get poor signal.
But, I look forward to hearing your results.

OK, so I'm not done with my experiment yet, but so far, the results look good, which is a bad thing.
Sure, I wasn't able to get the insane 6/24, but I saw a DEFINITE increase in battery life from what I was experiencing before. Here are some screenshots from stock JB Sense 5 3.05.651.6, with Silence Kernel:
Here are the results:
Here is what I got when this was a new update (a really long time ago), bone stock:

I am currently running a Sense 6 ROM with Xceed NPR. I'll post my results from that soon.
After that, I'll be trying CM11. I wonder if there are any good kernels for it?

I don't mind at all bro you can leave it up. I still do get good battery life on kk but not like on jb.

mophie case
Sounds like you need a mophie case.
my mom is bad about turning off things she does not need on like WiFi & ends up killing her battery
so she got the mophie case for her HTC one M7, the case comes with a battery in it.
maybe that could help you.

My problem isn't that the battery life is bad (OK it kinda sorta is compared to the stuff today), but that it got worse for us when it stayed the same for the International guys. They're still pulling like 6 hours SOTs. Obviously Sprint users shouldn't expect to match international, but we should at least expect to not go down. I'm experimenting with different S6 ROMs and kernels now, hoping that I can at least match what I got on JB.
And I would rather have GS2 era battery life than get a mophie.

sounds to me HTC one is not the phone for you
I have had my Sprint HTC one M7 for some time now running stock & rooted/unlocked etc...
& the last update I got, it did seem like the battery was dyeing a little bit faster when the phone was doing nothing at all.

Um dude. What.
I just said I don't have a problem with this phone. I got this phone when it first came out and plan to use it until it blows up or I blow up, whichever comes first.
I'm just saying that battery life was better on JB, and that's unexpected.

I current don't have any battery screenshot during the preKK updates but it does feel like my SOT has dropped but not crazy amounts of time. At most I was able to hit 4 hrs and now its around 3:40 or so, but that just might be from fatigue or some other reason. With the new sensors in our devices, I'm not sure if all the old Roms are still functional on our phones so it might not be a option for us so we will have to wait and see what the L update brings to us in a few days.

Overview
OmniROM is pretty close to AOSP, as the 4.4.4 era comes to a close I've decided to post it.
This build has nothing to do with Nobe1976.
It is not his build on Droidrzr forums and was built by me, from source. Although it is likely the same (assuming configs for our device haven't changed much the past year)

Yes JJBL people, I will build for you, but I need someone to test so OmniROM aside; IF JBBL people want these firmware I will need a tester :<

Just flashed this on my XT926 and the only issue ive had is when going into Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Carrier Settings The process com.android.phone force closes.

nice rom, works fairly well on my razr m. feels lighter than cyanogenmod and other 4.4.x roms.

lol
Do you know about Lollipop? lol

Working really great on my XT925.. I love OmniRom.. Thanks @Tqr

The fact that this base appeared here means MIUI v6 comes soon
Edit: I'm NOT heading MIUI v6 I am only working as an assistant this is not my era to shine; with that being said if I can't get a JBBL volunteer It's not likely JBBL people will get MIUI v6

A lot of people use my MIUI or other fork builds but don't really have the chance to use my source-builds which are almost always nearly 'perfect' (I don't usually post them)
Some compatibility takes a huge hit after I start chopping stuff to pieces so I just wanted to throw this up for people who are the opposite of the MIUI/Lewa/Whatever crowd and just want something as close to 'stock' android as possible.

Me too but my build configs are currently not working correctly for some devices.
It's kind of problematic on my end at this point because the past two builds of (pretty much) AOSP have resulted in failure for some unknown reason; even with supported configs.
At the same time to bring a close-to-AOSP ROM to this firmware I had to make a lot of changes in source; changes which may have caused breakage upon building for some devices so I've had to revert everything for this specific build which will probably set the process back a day or two.
But I don't want to sound over-important; the person heading v6 could have(and has) done this fully on their own power without issue and I am really contributing nothing except for build related stuff which isn't even essential It's just to save them time because a lot of time was saved in my life during v5.
It's like they say, someone does something for you and you do something for them if you can; a capacity I'm kind of failing in right now because a lot of the devices I'd like to see get hit with v6 do not have proper source bases

Thanks, very smooth... can you add HDR feature?

Maybe, I have to address JBBL right after I finished with the device I'm building for right now.
Like a true piece of scum I neglected the JBBL folks during v5 because I wasn't aware of the exacts surrounding it and frankly was too lazy/busy to produce it.
But from here out all of my builds will also accomodate JBBL now that I know how to deal with it.
I mean it's really like a friend of mine said; that it's better to release broken things at first because If you release something right the first time your topic won't have as many views and as much attention but I've always kind of been a black sheep with my preference for (nearly fully) functional first releases
Edit: I can do MIUIv5 for JBBL if people really still care about it but I'd rather focus on getting things ready for V6, and other projects I'm working on
It's really important that ANY errors with this code-base are brought to my attention , I really do not want to find out there is some inherent error in this when V6 is released It's really important that I do this right so I don't have to bother the developer of it to do yet another build on a rebase.
I feel like I've really annoyed people because I've had multiple peers/friends/co-workers/whatever download firmware that somehow 'wasn't right' this week

Do it. It's been awhile. And that miui phone overseas is killing em softly. I'm on jbbl now to start fresh but if you decide to put out v5 I'll try it. I am ecstatic about v6 to try out.. I will be trying the omni for now. I need a real stable ROM at the moment.

Get lolly miui for mb886.

MIUI v6 is now nearly fully functioning on moto_msm8960 JBBL & KKBL, including V6 camera, scanner and all the other stuff you'd expect.
Unlike being a PatchROM build this is a direct adaptation from a Xiaomi device so there is a level of exclusivity here.
I really don't have the right to release this, It will be part of a friends multi-base thread; It'll show up at some point next month, hopefully.
I wanted to let people who are really anticipating being able to use V6 know that the codebase is finished; it does have all the features you'd expect on true stock MIUI that have never been ported (In this era):
- MIUI camera (Everything, including filters, panorama, fast&slow-motion recording mode...)
- MIUI Scanner (Everything)
- Nearly full native Xiaomi drivers (!)
- Everything, all features

Honestly I straight up lied.
MIUI v6 boots with full function except RIL- Because of the nature of this work all builds have been kept closed. I will check with the head of development and ask if beta may begin.
If anyone here feels strong in development and can address RIL both the KKBL and JBBL can have this firmware in the very forseeable future. It's because we use some kind of fked up Generic RIL and I'm not sure where to play Xiaomis invasive code because It's so different.
I do not even know how this device handles RIL in the 4.4 era, if anyone has an understanding of this please be in touch.

please help in my decision

I am about to pick up a nexus 6 and was seeing a lot of issues with the battery life. Does cm12 extend it or is it the same as stock? 2-4 hours aint that long. Im a huge fan of nexus but if it doesnt pass a decent amount of batt life im leaning towards a note 4 edge. Please guys some info. Thanks

I get a full day out of it. Averaging about 5-6 hours screen on time. I'm running a custom aosp ROM with custom kernel and my own settings. Runs amazing. My wife has the note 4 which is also an awesome phone. I'd say battery life is comparable. That really depends on who's using the phone though. But if you like to go custom with you're device then I would go with the nexus.

Depends how you use it honestly. I have seen 4-7 hours of on screen time. Depending. There are a lot of variables

I would wait until cm12.1 comes out. Alot of people are getting bricked devices since Android updated too 5.1....Benzo rom which is based off of cm12 is running great in 5.1

Probably bricked because new to flashing. Ibe flashed a bunch of phones,even flashed them to other.companies,stopped doing that though,so,not too worried about that. I just really really miss vanilla android,especially cyanogenmod

Cyanogen is out Alpha. CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM for Nexus 6! (Alpha): https://youtu.be/D4JE27mo600
I have flashed two or three roms on 5 .1. I don't think I've ever bricked a phone in five years. The Nexus 6 doesn't have a locked bootloader people are just not paying attention.
Benzo and Chroma currently offer more than CyanogenMod does.

Oh ok I was just saying, didn't know your past history. 700 dollar paper weight is no good

Well, i was at sprint earlier doing a transfer and almost had my nexus 6,but, guess what? I gotta go in again later today,because, someone is using my identity in Maryland and has racked up a nice bill. Im in Hawaii so i just think thats crazy. Good thing Sprint and I have all the information for that dumb ass. So we will see if i get it today

Incorrect. "Bricked" due to CM deciding they wanted to try and modify the bootloader during flash of nightlies. Bootloader cannot be downgraded so cleaners found themselves in a qhsusb_bulk mode. Its not a brick though because it is now recoverable, though initially it wasn't.

I think we have different ideas of vanilla
If android was icecream, cm would be vanilla chocolate fudge.

My first day with the device where I was playing with all the settings, testing out the cam, and using the phone to make a few calls, text, listen to music at the gym, etc....i was at like 54% battery at the end of the day. So battery seems just fine. I charge every night so this should easily last you a day unless you are watching movies and talking on the phone for many hours.

i just got home with my N6 and am so stoked right now. time to root and rom it.

Good choice, I always had Samsung and htc devices in the past.
I'm not going back to them anytime soon
Battery life is good enough for me at about 5 to 6 hours of screen on time. If you need more juice, just pull out that turbo charger and charge it quickly.
I do miss my zerolemon 10000mah battery I had on my note 3 tho
The phone itself is very fast and the fact that temaseks cm12 rom is also available for this device made me jump the ship (always used his roms on my note 3)
Have fun

My first couple of days, battery wasn't that great. I think once all my apps installed and everything finished syncing and settling it, my battery has been great. I have averaged about 12-14 hours with 5+ hours SOT. that's on par with my note 3 so I'm happy with it and its snappy as hell. I could t tell a difference after decrypting, so not sure if there is a benefit to doing that anymore. Heard google patched the way encryption works on 5.1

Was going to download temasek but, i got a question for you. I had no luck flashing cm12 and lollipop dream roms. I am on 5.0 rooted unlocked and twrp 2.8.6.0 installed. My question is will temasek flash with my 5.0 baseband or do i need to update ota then redo everything else then flash temasek?

I used Temasek on the old baseband. I updated it to the 5.1 bootloader later on and it worked for me. Had no problems on the 5.0 bootloader tho.
Keep in mind that temaseks cm12 is encrypted so if you're unencrypted already you will lose all your stuff again since it will force encryption again

Which Oreo ROM to pick? (And why?)

With the recent influx of Oreo ROMs I was wondering just what people are using now and why?
I personally am still on AICP 12.1 Nougat, simply because I use my phone a lot and found it to be quite stable and very battery friendly.
But as a enthusiast I can't lose that itch that is telling me to finally upgrade my Mix to Oreo...
So, tell me about your experiences and why you made the choice you made.

I was on Oreo builds but ended up returning to AOSiP Nougat. Been on it for 2 weeks, feels comfortable and stable and etc. First tried AICP 12.1 but a visual glitch occurred due to using RTL layout. Not even a single issue on AOSiP that I'd call it a deal breaker. Cheers.

What made you go back? Did you perceive any deal-breaking issues?
The only thing that really irks me on AICP 12.1 Nougat is that it (randomly) black screens on me after 2-3 days of continuous use.
My hopes are that with my next move I can finally leave that bug behind.
I obviously don't want to invite additional bugs however...

Sorry, missed the why part. On Oreo roms, there are issues like Mobile network stand-by drainage which is always draining more amperes than the rest(while using the mobile data connection). And the proximity issues, one has got an almost working proximity sensor but at the same time breaks the in-call sound when you switch between speaker-earphone and the other one has no proximity sensor which sometimes become irritating. One of these is becoming a deal breaker after sometime.
Beside, there is no black screen issue on AOSiP for two weeks of usage, but I was and am using Floppy kernel RC 1.2(Google toolchain one) for the whole time. Take a look at the Up time in the screenshot, there is not even a reboot or freeze. You may want to give it a go.

After taking the time and checking all (I kid you not) Oreo ROMs out there I have finally settled down on Pixel Experience for now.
It's less feature packed than the other ROMs (given it's pure AOSP focus) but as such it's the only one I've found without "broken" features, glitched settings menus, etc.
So far everything seems to work, sans the proximity sensor, which is more or less the same completeness of functionality my previous Nougat ROM had.
I was forced to rely on Magisk and Xposed to get my beloved Pie Controls back up and running however (as all app-based implementations out there suck so far).
I'll take my time with this ROM now and report back after a week or so of active use. That should give me enough time to test everything out properly.

It's been a week now and I've been pleasantly surprised except for two things:
Battery life isn't quite up to par to what I had on AICP, which is a shame because I've gotten so damn used to the thing lasting me three days.
Now I need to recharge every second day.
Still better than most smartphones but I know we can get more out of this and I'm looking forward to new builds of the ROM addressing this.
The second thing is mostly a personal thing and some people will be totally unaffected by this.
Namely, the lack of built in Pie Controls...
I've come to enjoy the huge screen estate that is the Mi Mix and I just hate wasting space with a navbar.
This is where Pie Controls usually step in, but with Pixel Experience I'm forced to "add those in" via a combination of Magisk and systemless Xposed + Gravity Box.
This ends up double irking me as I prefer to run ROMs clean instead of hacking them up to add things which in my opinion should have been part of the basic bundle.
And... I guess as a optional third issue: Yes, the proximity sensor doesn't work on it but... I'm not really missing it.

Thanks. I have been wanting to switch to Oreo myself but wasn't sure which one was a stable option. I am on Nougat RR and it's running flawlessly. Your review definitely helps. I will wait a little more before making a switch.

I've found this ROM to be very pleasant to use, even now. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
If I had to add anything to my previous summary it is that at times the phone will heat up quite a lot.
I haven't found out what triggers it yet and it's seemingly random and as such I can't guarantee that the blame actually lies with the ROM or an app of mine.

Maybe the current governor profile for your kernel is ineffective. See if you can put a custom kernel and then play around with the governor or CPU settings (if you are unsure on this, do not risk it)
I had a similar issue when I first started using RR. Someone pointed me to use the AKT Profiles apk and select one of the governors. My phone went from being toasty all times to a cool cucumber. Further updates to RR fixed the issue.
Hope this helps.

I’ve been running RR Oreo for months with no major issues. The general responsiveness seems faster than Nougat, though it's difficult to judge, and although the battery life appears to drop faster, I get the feeling that this is more to do with a change in the way the remaining battery life is measured rather than a higher drain rate i.e. nougat used to stay high longer then drop quickly when approaching empty, oreo seems to drop more evenly maybe even slowing down towards empty.
I'm looking forward to trying LOS when it comes of age, but for now, RR gets two thumbs up.

I've come to the same conclusion about battery life in the new Oreo based ROMs.
