Recents Bug

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let everybody know how the recent bugs issue looks from the perspectives of the devs. As you can see by simply going through a couple of pages of this forum, you will see some people either have the bug or they have a perfectly fine recents menu. I brought the issue up to the dev and he said he is aware of the bug because others users have mentioned it, but it is working fine on his mako and he has no way to reproduce the error, so it makes it very difficult to debug. I also personally do not have the error. So as of now it is simply a minor blemish that does not effect usage and is mostly an aesthetic issue for 98% of the users that have it. I understand that Carbon is reaching near perfect levels so you guys are having to nit pick little bugs that you find which is awesome to me because it keeps us working towards perfection! haha :). But I just wanted to let you know how this issue is seen from the devs point of view. If it is not reproducible or is not able to be captured in a logcat, it is very hard to figure out what causes it. And then throw in the millions of different possibilities of user setups (themes, apks, mods etc) and it makes finding it nearly impossible. So we appreciate everyones' patience with it and hopefully the solution will become apparent in the near future. May Carbon unite us all :)

Had a small issue with center-mirrored battery bar alignment. The battery bar will break into 2 lines when the phone is in landscape mode with battery bar location at either the top or bottom of navbar.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ceejay83:
Bionic, it's simple to reproduce the recents bug. Open several apps consecutively, then press recents.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Bionic Beast:
I opened 9 applications, clicked recent, they opened fine and closed fine with no issues

The latest nightly is now released! If there is a changelog for it, it will be updated in a few hours :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] el_liberator:
same for me , recent works perfectly for me , no issues
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Krunk83:
Man you are awesome! Thanks for the communication. I know I have been one of those people with the recents issue. For some reason, it was fixed for me on 4/19 and it seems that this build is one of the best to date. Thanks for all your help and input on it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Jsparta26:
Build 4/20 .. He he is even better than 19.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] tyea:
I'm still getting poor touch response with programs that have buttons at top region of screen where status bar would be, while in expanded desktop mode not showing status and navigation bars. This issue has persisted since the 4/19 nightly.

Bionic beast is there any plan to upgrade GCC from 4.7 to 4.8? Thanks for your work, information regardless progress is always welcome.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
I can confirm this as well. I think it started happening when team carbon implemented the auto hide status bar.

I believe he mentioned this already. They didn't upgrade to 4.8 because they didn't notice any benefits/difference from 4.7

About recents but.

I have it only first time after reboot.

Like this:

1. Reboot.

2. Open two or more apps.

3. Tap recents - only first one is shown.

After this I can clean it and open as much as I want - no bug anymore.

If in 2. I open one app and click recents - no bug anymore too.

Maybe it helps.

Anyone who doesn't have recents bug - can you try this? Maybe it can be reproducable.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Krunk83:
I have this bug too. It just doesn't know the proper order the apps you've used are in. Once you close and open it it then displays the correct apps and order in which you've used them.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] kelah:
The point is what I have it only first time after reboot. And I think maybe who doesn't have this bug have it first time after reboot - and this is a clue.

Or it's normal? I don't remember if this first after reboot thing present on roms without recents bug.

Any recommended kernel? Or is the rom alone fine as far as battery life?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ensboarder:
Matrix
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Honest answer is to look at them all. People will tell you this kernel and that kernel because they're fan boys and recommend what they use.

The recommended kernel from the developers point of view would be the kernel that comes with the rom. That's why it comes with the rom.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Krunk83:
The stock kernel is probably fine but I use Franco for some added features.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nickshertzer:
+1 Stock is better than fine on stability, performance, and battery life. It is A+ Great!

However, if you want gamma control, slide 2 wake, volume boost, etc, you will need to flash a custom kernel. I also like Franco. r125 is nice

If you are a flash addict (anyone here on XDA that isn't?) then know the nightly comes with the Carbon kernel which is Linario GCC 4.7 and don't post bugs if you flash another.

Re: Recents bug - if i use my gesture shortcut for recents, it's all jacked up. If I use pie and go to the recents button, it works for me every time. 4/20 build.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] .psd:
You'll always get more responses than anything if you inquire about kernels.

In my understanding, the guy who makes Trinity Four also works on Team Carbon. The default kernel is fantastic, and I tend to feel like it's smoother overall with indistinguishable battery life compared to Trinity Four (default settings) and Franco Kernel (default settings). The battery life with any of them on default settings is plenty fine in my experience, and I keep GPS and wifi and data on at all times, and I never back out of an app or kill apps, and I either have brightness to max or else rarely on auto.

An interesting question is regarding colors. I'm not sure how the CarbonRom or Trinity Four or Franco kernels handle colors by default, but I'm not especially displeased with the default result with any of them. I do remember that the recommended colors profile (not the default one) from Franco Kernel was pleasant.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mjybarr:
First off, just wanted to say thanks to Team Carbon for putting together a phenomenal ROM! I just received my N4 about a week ago and this is the only rom I have ran. I have been so impressed with 1.6 that I really have no need to update or try another rom.

Great work guys and keep it up!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jlear3:
Love the rom and I'm just now starting to use pie. Just wanted to know if it was possible to hide the pie handle? Also just a minor bug, when you move pie with the chevron targets the handle stays at the bottom

Apr 21st Nightly

Hey guys just to save you from refreshing every 5 seconds, I wanted to let you know unfortunately the mako nightly failed to build again due to some github maintenance (and the mako was the only one to fail so far, some bad luck huh? lol). It should be rebuilt in a few hours. That is all :)

[Nexus 4 Android Development] .psd:
I'm guessing by PIE handle you mean the navbar drag handle? Go System Settings > CarbonRom > Navigation > Drag Handle Opacity to 0% and Drag Handle Width to 0%.

Regarding the chevron targets, you have to drag there and hold until the button fills up the screen then disappears.

Are there mirrors for the nightlies? Goo at 30kb/sec is painful here in 2013...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Same here. Not a fan of speeds on goo me. Seems a lot worse than how it was a couple days ago in terms of download speeds.

Is it possible to have the rom uploaded to euroskank by any chance? They have a great nightly service
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rxmxsh:
Or a torrent option like CM? That would be awesome.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
My download doesn't even start anymore =/

Edit: starting to download at 17kbps meh.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ceejay83:
Stop complaining and donate to goo for the faster downloads.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Krunk83:
Yeah, it's pretty bad. At this rate it's going to take 4hrs to get my copy. Might as well just wait for tomorrow's.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
No ones complaining. Its feedback & suggestions. If someone was complaining it would sound a lot different. You seem pretty hypocritical yourself, I'm sure that you didn't donate to Goo either.

Whats the point in having a ROM if the users can't download their ROM for feedback/suggestions on the latest nightly to report if there are any really bad bugs. More users on nightlies = faster there will be a stable release for Carbon 1.7.

If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. And I'm sure if I donated to Goo right this second, my downloads would still be slow, its not like im "donating" for a Goo Premium account or anything.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Krunk83:
Yeah, or they need to find another way to host the nightlies.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ceejay83:
Yea I haven't donated to goo, and I haven't said anything about the download speeds. How am I being hypocritical?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Because you're telling people to donate for faster speeds when you haven't donated yourself.

If no one mentioned about poor download speeds then no one would know of the problem (especially the ones who are admins there).

People like you make XDA a awful place to be at compared to the days before Android became popular. Nowadays, everybody wants to bash each other and hit each other on the face for stating their opinions.

No one is complaining, they're just providing feedback. Most of us are flashaholics and we like to state our opinion. If you don't like it then put us on ignore, but theres no reason for quoting someone and talking smack saying we're complaining.

End of conversation before this gets this thread out of topic. Obviously there is something wrong with Goo's servers as the previous days, it wasn't this slow. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ceejay83:
Pretty much every dev uses goo, you know why? Bandwidth isn't cheap. these devs are releasing roms that are 100+ mb and are offered in many devices. Devs are making these roms on their own free time for free, and you expect them to shell out bucks for hosting.

I have no problem with the slow download speeds, why? Because it's free. If you don't like the slow downloads, donate. It's that simple
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Download finally finished, remirrored it to Mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/?uelh38d7xu2jsxh

Filename: CARBON-JB-EXP-21APR2013-100416-mako.zip

MD5sum: 00684a8bd6ab375dc9c9cd64594945eb

Same MD5 hash as Goo. If any members of Team Carbon has a problem with me remirroring then PM me and I will be more than glad to take it down.

Not every single dev uses Goo. Team Euroskank has their own and host a number of "kang" ROMs for CM10 & AOKP. I never said bandwidth is cheap. I'm not saying they should shell out money for hosting, but having <20Kb/s is unacceptable, its not a everyday occurrence. Its just today where this problem is occurring so its a problem on Goo's end. I don't understand why you have to keep replying, its a problem on Goo's end. I never said that devs shouldn't use Goo, just today has a problem with download speeds to the point that people can't get their addict handled with today's nightly. So do yourself a favor and stop replying, its obvious that there are people including myself who are encountering slow speeds. I have 60 Mb/s download, its not on my end, its on the server side. Donating isn't going to resolve slow downloads, its a problem on their server not because of overload. I appreciate what Goo does for the community allowing free hosting for developers, its a great service, don't get me wrong on that. But like I said again, its a ONE-time occurrence where there were slow download speeds due to server problems that are leading to slow download speeds. Normally speeds are a lot higher, no one is complaining. Its a free service. We're just providing feedback. That's all, please move on and stop replying about this useless topic so we can go back to something that is relevant to this thread.

Why is it a server problem? It sits on the page and doesn't start the download until 40 seconds later; whereas, the other days it usually starts right away.

To everybody else, enjoy the mirror until Goo fixes the slow download speed issue on their servers. Enjoy the nightly mirror.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jlear3:
+1 I usually get 2mbits/s on torrents, goo servers have been painfully slow. If possible I could maybe start a torrent with beast's approval of course. I wouldn't be able to seed much today as its my cod day :D

How much does reasonable bandwidth cost? Isn't 50GB free at MEGA?

I will pledge $30 toward hosting—that's 3 months with MEGA Pro with 1TB bandwidth and PLENTY of storage—if Team Carbon codes PIE functionality for the navbar like my post here (or, alternatively, if they can make PIE have the appearance of the navbar, and it would be really nice to have custom buttons and be able to move them, like the navbar).

I don't think hosting is the problem with Goo; although, their download speeds aren't up to par. Yeah I know money plays a role in that but CM has their own servers and asked for donations and they got a lot of donations to cover the fees. If money was a problem, Goo could blatantly state they need extra funds to upgrade their servers or whatever.

Goo offers a lot more other than hosting, they have build bots. Something that Mega (or any free online cloud storage) doesn't offer. Basically, they have bots that compile builds from source and labels them 'nightly.' So rather than a particular person from the team to compile it themselves, a build bot does it automatically at a set given time.

If Team Carbon could get in contact with Euroskank (they host CM10 'jellybro,' AOKP (kang), as well as the popular rasbeanjelly).

According to euroskank,com it says:

I don't think they provide buildbots and its compiled by a person (as the website says 'build by')
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mbh87:
The more people donate then the more hardware or whatever else goo needs they can get.

Then use their buildbots and hosting and whatever else goo offers, but host also at MEGA.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Jsparta26:
Have to admit. This ROM comes close to perfection. With the few exceptions of bugs still needing to be worked out.

The recent app bug still hasn't been fully fixed. Apparently if you enable expanded desktop and use pie to clear recent app, it still flashes the last all for a split second.

Not to mention pie stats regarding bat, clock and notifications do not show up on any video game with prevent rotation checked under pie controls.

Lol don't worry I filled out two bug reports with log cats attached to them.

Loving this ROM so much. Got my ROM set up like a beast. I got a feeling that this ROM is so close to another stable release.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] .psd:
Same. I found Carbon when I first got the Note 2 a few days after 1.6 released. It was like the only decent ROM for Note 2. Returned the Note 2 for mako and I couldn't figure out why nobody was on CarbonRom. 1.6 must have been a big turning point, because it seems popularity has exploded.

Needless to say I've tried everything and I always come back to Carbon. I wish there was a way to show off my setup because I've done a full wipe and clean flash maybe 20 times and I've finally whittled it down to something super minimalistic and fresh while still being extremely usable.

I personally was on AOKP... the recent bug lag was killing me, it was getting to the point where it was really annoying. Basically as a run down, I would press recent apps... and then I see the app I want to go to.. but when I press on it, instead of going to the app it goes to the home screen.

My friend (uses a Note 2) mentioned CarbonRom so I gave it a try and it ended up having more features than AOKP and more stable. I'll admit though, I did use CarbonRom in its earlier stages when the ROM was still odexed, and I didn't find that appealing but it has definitely increased its popularity. It has been my daily ROM for about two weeks or so, definitely recommended.

One thing I'd like to suggest is the Custom Carrier, it changes the custom carrier but only for the notification pull down. But if you have the tiles, the carrier tile still says your carrier rather than the custom. It's just aesthetics, but it'd be nice if the carrier tile changed to the custom one :)

Someone could always remirror them, I personally would do it but I'm not always up at the time when the new nightly comes out so the official download place would have it first. But I don't think anyone from their team will take the time out of their hands to reupload it.

Lets just hope that the speeds get resolved so for the 04/22 nightly, things will be back to normal :)
