my data speeds has seemed to suffer since moving to an AOSP rom, is this normal? I feel like my signal strength isn't the same. I tether a lot at work and I use to get anywhere from 8-16Mbps and now the phone doesn't even pass 3Mbps. I've flashed different radios too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
I've never had consistent data speeds. And I can say that about two phones, three ROMs , and living in two states.

4g was really fast when it came out. Now it has settled down some.

Thanks so much for the answers and the link to the icons! They're not quite the same, but they're still a lot better than using the default icons. Seems they're from CM9, judging by the filenames. Also for some reason whenever I hover over them they get completely whited out instead of having their color inverted. Oddly enough, there is an option to select the white system icons for the notification shortcuts. They are there, but just not accessible for the lock screen shortcuts for some reason. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arathorn4:
Just get the floating screenshot app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
feel the same way man. I like everything neat and uniform and I've really had to just suck it up on the lock screen for a while now. I just noticed those icons were extracted from cm9 also! Lol. Good eye! Anyhoo...better than nothing I suppose
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rixanu:
So after a bit of googling I found out the icons are stored in framework_res.apk, so I went and extracted them. The only icon I can't seem to find is the Google logo for Google Now. The lowercase g is in there, though, so I guess that works. It's still a bit of a hassle, because the gallery doesn't crop them properly, so you have to do it manually. Also, highlighting them on the lock screen still whites them out completely. Hopefully the option to access these icons properly returns in a later build. Anyway, anyone can feel free to get them here in the meantime: db.tt/ufvWfdAK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
Nicely done!! Thank you!

Also if you set Google now as a short action on the lockscreen, the white "Google" (spelled out) icon is default.

Running the 7/12 nightly (clean install), stock kernel, MF1 baseband and when I reboot my phone it just sits at the carbon logo. If I battery pull, go into recovery and wipe cache then the phone will fully reboot.

The same thing happened on the 7/4 nightly with ktoonz kernel. I clean flashed the new nightly hoping it would solve the problem, and it did for the first few reboots, but the problem has come back.

Any thoughts?

Sorry if this question has already been answered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boman06210:
I'm using the 7/14 nightly. I noticed that the changelog says we can "change backlight duration on capacitive touch keys" but I'm having trouble with locating that feature in settings. I've looked under carbon settings, advanced and display. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jamesino:
Is there anyway to get driving mode on this ROM? Or was that just a TW feature?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gzsmooth:
I'm not on 7/14 but check Settings /Advanced/Sensors then at the bottom. That's how I disable them in the 7/13 build so they may have left the option there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boman06210:
Yes that's been there for as long as I've been on CarbonRom and that's where I figured that it would be. The changelog says that we should now be able to change the duration. I don't see on/off as matching that description. I checked on their google+ and at least one other person was asking about this so I know I'm not the only one interested.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanallaire:
Guess i'm gonna sound like a noob here, but does carbon have a place for different kernels? I see people using different kernels, but i don't know where to look. Also, what kind a batt life are you guys getting with different kernel/nighly combinations? Thank for any input..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
you need to flash a separate kernel separately.

make sure you get a 3.4linux AOSP 4.2 compatible version.

i suggest ktoonz kernel, its great.

battery life depends on usage, so its really all dependent on what each user uses.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
I hear ultra kernel doubles your battery life.

This ROM doesn't seem to do anything for driving mode... but I use this car dock and was looking for the same thing. I came across this and freakin love it! The car launcer from the Xperia Z I guess, big ole' tiles for launching whatever you need. After installing this, it comes up automatically when I plug my phone in in the car... dunno if it works for your needs, but I love it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
2 things

On Carbon I cant get a few app's notifications to work. To name a couple Espn streak for cash and Big brother buddy.

I'm sure there is probably more but i turn notifications off on almost every app i use.

Halo really needs to stay hidden when opening apps. It gets pretty old when it peaks out every app you open when there is no notification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
check halo settings, i think youre missing a setting somewhere. mine only peeks out for notifications.

also depending on your nightly, they added a new gesture to silence until notification cmoes through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeakyBoo:
Just for clarification, while halo is out, tap n hold, then drag down. The last of two options that will pop up is the option to hide/silence until notification...;) try that to see if it stops it from popping out.( if you are using the latest nightly. Since 07-13 nhtly , I think.

Hope this helps!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
Loved this ROM but it killed my phone reception. I tried flashing different radios but they were all the same. Back to TW for me :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaben2:
You need to compare the dbm's not the signal bars. They don't read the same. I read the same DBMS as my coworker that is on stock. The bars just read lower. When I have no bars he will have 2. But be relatively the same readings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
This. I've read aosp displays this won't or differently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
On the 7-4 nightly.

So maybe that's it. I played with it some more and halo pops out every time i'm in an app and turn to go portrait or when I back out of every app it pops out again.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
My phone will switch to 3g more often too. As far as data speeds, I get 20+Mbps at home and I couldn't get over 8mbps on aosp. I've done a lot of comparisons like at different locations with the signal and data speeds and its pretty clear how much better it is on a tw ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nay Linn:
Hey guys! I just installed Carbon ROM nightly 07/15. It is fantastic! In my previous TW ROM, I keep getting wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock when my screen is off. Now no wakelock what so ever and I'm running stock kernel. I have one question though. In my previous TW ROM, when i long press menu, it will act as a search button in any app you are in. Now, when i'm in an app and long pressed the menu buttton it will open up google search. It will not act as a search button for that app. For example, when I'm in the People app, if i long pressed the menu button it will launch google search instead of searching for people. Am I missing some settings? Help me guys!

Edit : Fixed it! Changed menu long press from search assistant to in-app search in the carbon settings! If anyone wants photosphere camera, it can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2341332 Thanks for the ROM! Cheers!

Create a nandroid backup, flash a TW rom like Cleanrom, boot up and get a GPS lock on TW, restore nandroid back to Carbonrom, see if GPS works

fyi, the very first thing you should do before flashing a new nightly/rom is get a GPS lock and then proceed

Edit....Locations inside of Google + It will give me the location of my friends...but the map doesn't fill in. Just shows their picture on a blank grid. Does this work for others?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nay Linn:
Which kernel are you using? I'm using stock and I get through the day with about 2 hours of screen on time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
Stock as well. I've noticed that my battery drains a lot when my screen is off but I don't have any wake locks. Other kernels don't place nicely with my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nay Linn:
Are you using 4G or WiFi when it drains? My phone usually drains faster if I'm on 4G. Try changing the CPU governor. By default, it is set to interactive which is good for performance but it really eats your battery.

Kernels act differently with every phone, so you have to just play with them and see what you like. Keep a kernel on for at least a week before deciding if you like it. I've played with all the kernels many many times, I personally find staying with the stock kernels the best for me.

The forum is not here to spout off and trash a ROM when you have issues. It's here to help you solve any issues you might have when flashing these awesome FREE ROMs which people you have never met spend countless hours working on in their own free time.

From my own limited knowledge, here are some things which may be causing each issue you're having:

Concerning all the bugs and home button not working: did you clean flash (wipe data/cache/dalvik)? When coming from TW to AOSP clean flashing is a must. Also you might have gotten a bad download try to download another copy and flash that. And make sure you are on the most updated version of your recovery.

Concerning the missing play store: sounds like you didn't flash google apps. AOSP ROMs require you to flash a gapps package with them.

Concerning your internal storage being wiped: Which recovery are you on (CWM or TWRP)? There is nothing in the ROM which makes you wipe your own internal storage in recovery. Although, some of the older recoveries had some issues with this I think. Is your recovery updated to the latest version? I'm thinking you mistakenly hit "wipe internal storage" in recovery.

From your post history, it really seems like you haven't flashed too many AOSP ROMs or ROMs in general. You should always do some research before flashing. This is why devs have to put disclaimers on their ROMs, because people like you flash away aimlessly and then pretend like they broke your phone.
