Im on the 9/20 build. But unless they added the feature, I don't think you can use the active display style as the default lock screen. I think it just comes up when a notification comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] classic7876:
This may sound like a noob question but where can i find the 9/20 build cuz when i go to goo the last one showing is the 9/16
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
If you click on the download link in the OP, it will take you to a page that has three links. I think the link you want is the second one. mirror.carbon I think. For some reason they haven't been uploaded to goo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mohawk3:
Go to carbon.mattman.org and then look for Toro in the nightly download section.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

They haven't added that feature. It's still pretty cool that I can see that stuff right away without having to completely unlock.

I guess there is an option to have it repeat the notification at a certain interval, but I'm cool with the one time per new notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spearman792:
Probably should have checked the Jenkins before I tried flashing today's ROM (http://dg4prez.no-ip.org:8080/job/carbon_toro_nightly/229/). The build is unstable and wouldn't even flash for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
The build is only 83 MB or so. So it's apparently not fully uploaded or something went wrong with the upload. It should be about 135 MB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
the 9/22 build i downloaded off goo.im is 135.56mb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
Its because they removed focal. But like the above says, it didn't build properly anyways. Go to the link and Jenkins shows the build is unstable.

Edit: sorry never mind the focal thing, should have read more carefully. My bad.

I've been having an issue with Carbon that I cannot figure out. when rebooting the rom or especially after installing a new nightly, the rom is very slow to reboot and initialize completely. It take a long time, or what I consider a long time, to get to the point that I can open my app drawer. I'm not sure if its related to using transparency in the nav bar or what. Any suggestions? Im I doing something that I shouldn't in between reboots or installing new nightly?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
The ROM is good with the active display off. It's just when it's on that causes issues. I don't know if the carbon team is actually doing work on it though since it's just pulled from chameleon OS

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
I would guess that the slow system start up is from jni dalvik optimization and caching; that's what that initial "optimizing apps.." load screen is. If bytecode verification is needed, this process can bleed over into your os use since the dalvik for programs will be verified on first execution and takes a while. I found a good description of dalvik and options and why android has it.

You can configure the dalvik vm in a shell with terminal, "dalvikvm -h" gives some lossy condensed/inadequate descriptions of options, linux style.. You can also add/replace some lines to build.prop for set and forget (if all goes smoothly). I use these in my build.prop:

## redundant don't verify
dalvik.vm.checkjni=false
## copy dex so other s*** can still use it
dalvik.vm.jniopt=forcecopy
## optimize on execution
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
## optimize data only
dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=true
## verify=no, optimize=verified, uniprocessor=no, memory mapping=yes
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v,u=n,m=y

Comment out the stock "dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y" in build.prop, paste the rest in if you wanna give these entries a try. Stock dalvik config uses "verify all" which I'm guessing is causinga lot of memory and process drain. Since were on nightlies, it's kind of pointless to have a slow system over and over each time we clear the dalvik cache. 4.3 is still beta so a lot of s*** isn't even getting optimized after a long verification failure. Anyway hope this inciteful. ;)

If there are some people not having any issues with active display, maybe I'll just start fresh. Wipe everything and flash the ROM again. Maybe that will make things better. I'll probably do that sometime today and report back.

With Active Display enabled? Thats the only thing causing UI crashes for us. Otherwise, there is none.

...well here's one: I was getting system & app crashes on 9/21-23 *without active display activated* (tried everything from clearing caches to fixing permissions to running the stock kernel // sigh) and suddenly started getting the data drops that have been driving people insane on 4.3 as well, which became intolerable last night and flashed a 4.2.2 ROM to chill out for a bit... Kinda weird there isn't much consistency to any of the probs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noseph:
Running 1.8 and this afternoon I get a blue circle on the left side of the screen that partially hides. It appears to be related to notifications. Not sure how it got turned on but I need help turning it off.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infectedorganism:
That is probably Halo. Settings > Carbon > Halo > (uncheck) Enable Halo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Active display is working even better on the 9/25 build. It was probably the proximity sensor that was causing crashes. According to the change log, they fixed that. I just wish they would center the icon now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggar11:
Anyone else use Rom Toolbox Pro? Wondering how the restoring has been going on the 4.3 nightlies? I tried restoring stuff on a 4.3 rom shortly after they appeared in the nightlies and it kept crashing. And if it didn't crash, it didn't actually restore anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
What are you trying to restore? Just apps? And what are you trying to restore from? A nandroid? I dont really know how Rom Toolbox works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggar11:
At a minimum, sms messages. I was also trying to restore wifi, bluetooth, call logs and data usage too. I noticed that apps would restore, but not the data portion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Ok, lets back up. Were you coming from 4.2 or 4.1 or something and trying to restore on 4.3? If so, system settings dont always restore all that well when coming from a different version of android or even a different ROM. But you can also try an app called Nandroid Manager. It has worked for me in the past. Its free in the Play store and it lets you restore all that stuff you mentioned. I have only used it to restore SMS messages though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggar11:
Coming from the July 20th nightly of Carbon 4.2.2. Mostly interested in getting sms restored since my wife has the same phone and she lives and dies by her txt messages... All the system settings and in-app settings aren't too big of a priority overall.

Looking at that Nandroid Manager, it looks real simliar to Rom Toolbox Pro. I guess I was hoping that JRummy would put out a fix for the 4.3 restoring and/or maybe I was the only one with restore issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Yeah, I never really use ROM Toolbox, but if all you need are messages, that app should work fine.

Does anyone know of a way to toggle 2g? The CM power widget is of no help since that option isn't selectable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalooann:
This is just a random question...but trying to compare with other ppl with my phone....

how long does it usually take to boot up your gnex?

mine takes like 70sec to boot up...and i think this is long lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitsua98:
I think it depends on how many apps you have installed. I only have about 20 and mine boots in about 20 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nnbengboy2:
The latest nightlies seem sluggish. I can't wait to see optimized builds. Great ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalooann:
Yeah I guess so...I have like 140+ apps on mine...and boot time is about the same every time for me lol

Is reducing the apps is the only way to reduce boot time or is there a faster boot time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swarlesbarkely:
Mine boots in 20-30 seconds. Haven't officially measured but its not long by any means
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Really? I'm on 9-25 and its buttery smooth. I have found that it seems a lot more smoother WITHOUT a custom kernel. Also, under performance in the settings, I checked "16 bit transparency" and "Allow purging of assets". And then used Trickster Mod to set the governor to performance, raise the read ahead buffer size to 512 and overclocked the GPU to 384MHz. All that combined, my phone is flyin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
Performance governor all the time? Isn't it kinda risky to leave the cpu maxed all the time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
It's been fine for me. Typing that out though made me think about something. I'm not usually away from a charger so I usually dont know battery drain when I see it. But yesterday my battery did drop pretty fast when I was out of my house and I was doing stuff on my phone. Just typing that out right now made me think that was the cause and I changed it to see what other results I get with other governors. But even without changing the governor, everything else I said seems to make a difference in performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] birdy3636:
does increasing buffer size kill battery? i really don't ever touch that but i read your above comment and clicked on 16 bit. I'll have to agree with the nightlies being sluggish. I'm on interactive and it has to sit and load the apps from time to time and I have problems hitting the back button when on browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I dont know the effect it has on battery. I just got the idea from this thread.

I have the same issue on browsers. Usually the back button works, but there are times when it won't respond at all. I tried the 16-bit and clear memory assets options. I had to disable the latter though, it kept closing chrome while I was using it!

When I say sluggish, I mean things like pressing the home or recent apps buttons. It can be very delayed at times.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] birdy3636:
exactly the same here. I have all of those checked off and I might try a different kernel and see what kind of results I get. I've been running stock kernel and I have been having those problems. I haven't had closings on my browser but I don't use chrome on my phone I just use the stock browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nnbengboy2:
Not sure if its a problem with chrome or the ROM, but chrome seems to still be crashing. I'm going to perform a clean install on the latest nightly. But if these issues keep up, I might have to switch ROMs until these problems are worked out.

Another issue I often experience in chrome is the keyboard disappearing. I'll be typing in the address bar and poof! The keyboard goes away and won't come back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Those issues aren't limited to Carbon, I'm using Slim ROM and have same issues with back button not working at times and losing keyboard in chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nnbengboy2:
Dang. I wonder what causes it. I don't remember those problems when I was running evolution. Must be the customizations?

After doing a clean install on the 10/01 nightly, everything is very smooth. I'll post later when I can test chrome to see if those issues still exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
Check your running apps immediately after using Chrome (I have a soft key long press set to go here) and see how much ram you have. I had the problem too, and when I checked running apps several things including keyboard kept restarting. I think chrome is a memory hog. I'm using aosp browser and haven't had the issue. It happened to me using Firefox some too.

Also, why did they not include pie in 4.3? I see many other ROMs have it still
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
I think (and I may be wrong) carbon started over building with 4.3, where as others just changed the base. I'm sure there are more technical terms for explaining it, but I'm not a dev. For example, beanstalk updated to 4.3 and it was largely the same but was 4.3 instead of 4.2. Carbon started with a new 4.3 base and redid their features based on 4.3. If I'm mistaken someone feel free to give a better explanation.

Hey everyone, while on the gnex forums. i have seen so many people say that whatever ROM they were on made them feel like they had a whole new phone experience. That comment has caused me a mad obsessive bender on crack flashing. After tons of wipes and reboots off a ton of GREAT roms, I have unleashed my new but old gnex into a beast. Thanks everyone in Carbon for breathing new life into my phone. OK so after saying that I just wanted to share my little uccw creation exclusive to Carbon. Its simple but has enough class to grace the Carbon name. Some of you super creative folk might say HA! when I tell you this took to long to make but I just started to dabble with the uccDUB. Sorry insomnia is the culprit behind this unnecessarily long blab fest. Enjoy and hope you like it.........again nothing big. Just my first worthy to share.

Correct. They started over with 4.3, so all the features have to be reincorporated as they recode everything. It will take time before all features are reimplemented fully.
