Hello. I recently got an S3 and l love it. I'm no newbie to Android phones. Been messing with them since the Droid 2. Anyway, enough about me. I had been running Jelly Beans build 19 and think its a great ROM. However, I wanted to try another ROM. So after lots of looking around I decided to give Carbon a go. I love it. It's a little faster than the previous ROM I had mentioned which was fast. I'm having zero issues with Carbon 1.8. I do have a question and suggestion however. Suggestion! In Jelly Beans Build 19 they use a 50% audio boost mod. Makes a huge difference! Question? Is there not a way to use custom fonts with Carbon? I'm not seeing a way. If not, that would be a welcomed feature. Thanks for the hard work. I look forward to 1.9!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I believe that 1.8 is the last 4.2 rom. All roms now made by carbon are 4.3. I don't have any issues with sound volumes on 4.3 builds. I'm not sure about custom fonts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bigboij:
just started using this rom myself, not sure on the audio boost, but as for the fonts i have always used Rom toolbox for installing fonts works great on carbon as well. I have the pro version but i think the lite does it as well

Anyone having problems with the jellybean keyboard in the messaging app when trying to swipe words? I can type them fine. I too am using the latest gapps from slim. This may be a compatibility issue with their gapps. I'm going to try regular gapps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] layvin1:
Thanks for the quick replies and tips! It's not really an audio problem. Sound works fine. But that 50% boost they used really made a difference in speakerphone / music through the stock speaker. I will check out ROM toolbox. Used it once a long time ago. But I forgot what it's features are. Once again thanks.

Anyone else get lots of lag/redraw issues after 3-4 days? Thought it may have been an issue due to a month or two of dirty flashing, but the issue persists after a clean install. Looking at recents it almost appears to be a RAM/caching issue, with 1,700+ constantly used, even through cache cleaning, closing apps, etc...

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

Follow-up: appears to be relates to systemUI - it just ran out of resources and force-closed and I now have 500 mb or so being used after it was relaunched. Anyone else notice this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Just tested and it is the same for me, no swipe in messaging app. I'm also using slim gapps. Let me know if regular gapps fixes it. I think I can live with it but would like to know. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
I'd have to disagree. No problems here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Yep it's the slim gapps. I reflashed last night with regular 08-13-13 gapps and everything worked fine. I'm going to flash the latest nightly in a few minutes and I'm thinking about using the slim gapps again. But I would miss swiping on the google keyboard. Oh well, I'll just use another keyboard probably. I didn't notice any other issues with using them. I'll let you know how it goes as soon as I can post again. (on lunch break now)...

Flashing on lunch break. Flashing on bathroom break. I'm a flashaholic.

I came from slim, and I still like slim. But Carbon benches just as fast if not faster for me. Even with all the added features. I don't use most of those added features so I usually leave them off. But I would like to try halo again. But I don't understand why we need ribbons when we can already put shortcuts practically everywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
The Red light issue with active notifications seems to be fixed in the latest nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
I would try installing another keyboard from the play store (swiftkey, etc...) setting it as the default then using TiBu to uninstall the google keyboard. Once you do that you can try the Google keyboard available on the play store.

Might not work but it also might be worth a shot.

Also if it's swiping you are looking for, swiftkey flow is awesome. Great swiping and great predictive text as well.

Anyone have any suggestions on improving battery life? I'm on the stock kernel! ROM runs super amazing. Just wish my phone would last at least a whole day haha

Different kernel maybe?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
Decimalman just updated his dkp kernel's freelunch. I'd give that a spin.

Another option is lean kernel with undervolting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
The swiping works on the aosp keyboard just not in the messaging app. Very strange issue, gonna see if its the same on slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robross0606:
Using this ROM on MyTouch 4G and it rocks. Two features I can't seem to find and enable: lock screen rotation and phone dialer rotation. Both of these are kinda important when I have the phone mounted in my car. Are these available and I just missed it or are they missing?

Also getting really bad intermittent GPS locks that makes nav basically unusable. This one could be my device though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
Wagh I want the 10/10 nightly so I can try out 4.3.1!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 996:
Lean Kernel comes undervolted correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
I was wrong, its not working at all. I deleted it and used the one from playstore, works fine but lost my theming. Tried pushing it to system but it wasn't working, might've been user error though. I'm going to continue testing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] layvin1:
What 4.3 based Carbon ROM are working good for the S3? Any real benefits over 4.2.2?

black GS3. running Carbon 1.8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrianAllred:
4.3.1 is Nexus 7 only at the moment. 4.4 comes out the 15th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
Ahhhhh. Guess I'll hang tight then!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
As of 10/10 Carbon is on 4.3.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrianAllred:
Considering that it's a bug fix release and the only bugs fixed were for the new N7, it's literally just a number bump for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
That's what I thought but it says 4.3.1 for us?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Oh and btw. I get random reboots on the latest nightly while using the wifi tether for a couple minutes. Running dkp kernel. Can anyone confirm if this is ROM error or kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Just wanted to say that when I tried using slim gapps, my swiping didn't work in any , well not any, but at least in messaging and I think either a browser or the search bar. I used the regular gapps the next time and all was well of course. I think if we really wanted it, we could just replace the slim kb with the regular carbon kb and probably be fine. Just a guess here. Or like someone mentioned use another keyboard. I'm liking this rom more and more, and noticed in the changelog that Carbon has went with slim / other roms/ toggle setup style. One thing I'd like to see is more options in the custom hard key settings. For instance. In Carbon back to kill is in dev tools. In slim, it's in the section to change hardware keys. No biggie there. But in their selection box for what you want the key to do, there's a ton of things one of which is last app, so I can long press the back button and go swap back and forth easily between apps. And I use menu long press to kill app. Just a thought, Please take it as constructive criticism.

This rom for some reason benches higher with the same kernel and governors/schedulers/clocks than slim. I don't know why for the life of me. But it does! I'm all about that little bit of extra speed. It's probably not enough to be noticable, but nevertheless, it is a bit faster. This is with the dkp kernel on both roms.

One thing I love about Carbon is the lock ring torch, I wish there was a way to make activation take a tiny bit longer though. And I love the added customization of animations for practically everything. Good job guys. Keep up the great work. I'm a rom hopper, crack flasher etc. So I'm on a different rom every three-four days, but sometimes using settled nandroids to get back to either slim or carbon.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
I'm running the latest dkp test kernel. No problems. On pacman though.

No lean kernel does not come undervolted. All frequencies are set at 1150mV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Yeah I changed to bionic sheep and no more reboots. Must be dkp carbon combo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
On 10/11 I lost all my pull down tiles.

however i did notice PIE controls are now in the carbon settings.

missing seems to be the "fast charge" tile. Not sure where that one went. perhaps it's due to a kernel change?

I'm using 9/20 dkp kernel. I will upgrade to his latest test kernel later and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mattydangerfox:
I haven't been updating nightlies as often as usual (tired of having to set up Wallet every time), but I realized the Halo option to open the notification to the full window is gone. Anyone know when that changed? I know I can check logs but I'm at work right now.

Edit: I'm currently on the latest nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] layvin1:
I tried out the latest Nightly last night and for most of the day. Nothing to really shout about to me. But I didn't stay on it long because phone/contacts/keyboard would not theme at all through the system GUI. . That's about it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
The tile framework moved from the AOKP tiles to the CM toggles on the 10/10 nightly. That would cause the tiles to reset and I don't think the CM tiles have afast charge in them.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

He is saying that while we are technically on Android version 4.3.1 there are literally no changes between 4.3 and 4.3.1 that effect our phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanallaire:
I have seen no differences between 4.3 and 4.3.1...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Ha, I've been running latest nightly all day, didn't even notice the tile change.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
after this happening a few times, I formatted my internal sd followed by a clean install, and this issue has never occurred again. If you have run TW roms previously without formatting your internal sd, I would recommend doing it. seemed to fix it for me at least. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
I liked the tiles i had.. lol

oh well. thanks for the info. I guess i'll just script FFC to turn on or something.

Has anyone had problems after a dirty flash of nightlies where the ROM won't boot? I end up having to flash clean over and over again and its becoming a real pain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SWOLEGASM:
YES! and then when I reboot, the ROM gets stuck in a boot loop. And then I tried a clean flash and that just boot looped as well. That was coming from an N4 on the latest nightly though. 10/07 was fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
If your bootlooping, boot into safe mode then power of and boot normally - it should boot up fine after that. (To boot into safe mode power off, power on, hold menu until boot)

So how long are you supposed to hold the menu button, I can't seem to get Safe Mode working at all even with a good working backup.

EDIT: Rather than using the menu button, use Volume Down. Hold until you see successful boot, usually Optimizing Apps. (For anyone else)

EDIT2: or both? lol. I flashed an update over the backup that didn't work.. tried the Volume Down button and it didn't work. Tried the Volume Down AND Home JUST after the phone vibrated so I didn't enter the boot loader and it worked. Who knows. but I guess this is what will work when this happens.

EDIT3: Re-flashed the KT747 Kernel and same thing, ended up in a boot loop. Not too sure what the cause is at this point. But it would seem the Safe Mode only works for me sporadically. (I am not convinced this is a Kernel issue with KT747 either, same thing happens with Stock.)

I am open to any suggestions that would allow me to not have to go square one every-time this happens. Thanks folks.

You have to flash it through recovery. I use nandroid manager and every time I do a full wipe I have to reflash it. Not sure about a site to get it from but if you download nandroid manager from the play store it'll take you to it.

Alright guys I need some help

My power button is broken and I'm unable to boot into recovery (twrp) without going into a loop, sometimes it lets me get to the main menus and other times it doesn't even get to the teamwin screen before it reboots... I'm trying to flash a newer nightly that doesn't have reboots or the airplane mode/drop service problem I've been having on the 10/6 nightly, I'm trying to flash via Odin but it's been a long long time since I've used it and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:

using v3.09 but when I put a carbon md5 into AP, Odin becomes unresponsive and I can't even flash anything. I've tried redownloading the md5, running as admin, using older versions of odin, re-installing, but nothing is working. Also have no idea what to do about gapps with odin. any advice is appreciated, I feel like the answer is right in front of me and I just don't see it

10/15 nightly having issues with LTE. Won't lock on LTE and 3g is spotty. Flashed back to 10/14 and back to the norm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
If your looping while in recovery, that's bad. Odin is generally not used for flashing general roms. If you start trying to push incompatible files with odin your gonna have a bad day.

Use odin to flash back to stock to restore all your partitions - your having an issue somewhere, most likely in the bootloader. Re-root/unlock, use preferred method for getting rom zips on your device and use an app like "reboot menu" to boot into recovery.

You can always use adb too which is real easy once it's set up.

Adb reboot recovery...
