I love you carbon ROM!

Such a nice feeling to run something that is not touch wiz on my phone.

I'm new to the ROM.

And I am still figuring it out.

First screen shot is from manage apps

And second is from long press home button.

Notice the RAM usage is different.

Im not too worried about it. But just wanted to check for answers.

This is a hardware issue. If you've had the phone for less than a year, it's still covered under warranty. If it's been more than a year but you purchased Verizon extended warranty, they should replace it for free. I have the same issue with the fault power button. I turned on pie and reassigned my home button as my power button.

Bad download perhaps, idk I dirty flashed it and it was gravy all the way up until I dirty flashed 7/22 which has taken over the gravy train for the moment and all remains rock solid and ass kickin over here.

couple halo questions

what's background size? *Change halo size and halo background size* ( taken from the changelog notes)

and is there a way to make the halo icon go empty. to clear it? Swiping up has a dismiss and clear but it reverts the icon back to one of my halo app shortcuts.

Just wondering if it can actually go blank. (in older version of the nightlies this was possible)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
What is the 0/99 bug?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
I'm pretty sure background size is the size of the notification button. Not sure as I've not changed it.

To male halo go away, double tap it and drag to the "x" that appears on top of your screen. Let it go when it turns red.

You should also be able to disable halo in settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cynikalJ:
When you live in a fringe area the signal will drop completely out and under status the signal gets displayed as 0dBm/99asu. This causes the phone battery to plummet and you have no data or already I don't. It's fixed in mastamoons nightly but no other room has merged it although he said cm official nightlies have it now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
thanks but I don't want it disabled....just an empty circle instead of always showing an app in there. in my case espn streak for cash as its the last halo app shortcut i attached to it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
I would love to stay on this ROM. First time trying it, here's the but....... I can't get network location. I flashed one other ROM today and couldn't either. Two others DID WORK. So that would lead me to believe it's not my method. I checked MD5. And I've flashed lots of ROMs, so I know the proper wipes. Any ideas? Thanks. Stock kernel nothing installed yet BTW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
I've not heard of that particular problem from the standpoint of network location. AOSP ROMs frequently have difficulty with getting a GPS lock and the solution to that (and appears permanent - I only had to do it x1 and it's lasted through multiple flashes with multiple ROMs) has always been to back up the ROM that's giving you problems, flash back to a ROM that you have had success locking onto location with, get a GPS lock and then, without turning off GPS, restore your ROM that was having problems.

You might give that a try. AOSP is just too good, IMHO, to just walk away from. Super snappy, great battery and none of the bloat associated with TW.

Good luck. Hope I've been able to help. Also, keep an eye on this thread - likely there is someone here who's dealt with this issue and knows exactly what to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
some of the nightlies seem to be better than others at this. I'm on 23 and it is a bit off with the network location and gps isn't as accurate. But the last two nightlies I was on before 23 didn't have this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteAssBrent:
Also you can search for "Team Carbon" on Google+ in the communities and see if others are having the same issues. The G+ page is a larger community because it allows all the people with different phone models who use this ROM to communicate in one place.

P.S. this ROM is great compared to the few others I've tried and have only used this one for about 6 months now. About once a week I d/l a new nightly and slowly watch this ROM grow.

Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Wow! Is all I can say. This community is awesome! Best responses I've had from any forum dealing in AOSP ROMs. Thank you everyone for your input. I will try these suggestions, I do want to come back back to this ROM. Thank you again!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Yeah, is not GPS that's the problem. I can't even get network location, cell towers. Tried an older nightly as per recommendation, still nothing. Man, I really want to run this. Thanks guys for the help. This and Bean Stalk give me the same problem. I usually run Slim, but it's been giving me redraw issues. I really don't want to go back to TW. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnsgone:
*Warning* Half assed early morning idea I'm about toss out. These usually don't go well... Anyway no one has asked what modems you're running? Now to be clear I'm not altogether sure exactly what is going on with your phone I see you stated an inability to get "network location" but in relation to what has me slightly confused but that is likely user error on my part. Anything signal related though would point me towards the radios you've got installed. It's just a thought, I've been stuck in a few random no mans land type problem areas before and found the fixes to be just as random. You're putting in work trying to resolve this issue, much respect to that and hope you nail it down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
I've tried the mf1 and the mb1 aio packages. :) neither worked. I can say though on the older nightly, I had location initially then rebooted and could no longer get location.

EDIT: OK, so I loaded up an older nightly, 7/16 to be exact. I had location. Then on a brainstorm, realized the only thing I do after is change DPI, then reboot. So I went through EVERY STEP on the DPI change and noticed I got a location consent on reboot. Yay! I have location. Prior flashes I didn't get that.

So next question. I haven't installed much, still have my DPI where I want it. Can I dirty flash the most current without losing information, such as dpi, etc? Maybe location will stick then?

EDIT 2: Tried newer releases, newest again, doing everything like I did on 7/16. Somewhere after 7/20 something is different. I have location no matter what up to 7/20, then I tried 7/23 and none. So I'm on 7/20 for now so I can enjoy it!

Thanks to everyone again for all the help, and thanks to the Carbon Dev team for an awesome ROM!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hoodieNation:
That's so weird that it changes your data signal. I like to run the speedtest.net app, just to see where my signal is the best so I do it pretty often. There's definitely no difference in speed when I'm running an aosp rom. Not that that helps you at all, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
I do notice that with Carbon, I would have 1-2 bars less when compared to tw rom, at same locations. But I also notice that this had not affected speed or reception. AOSP may just have a different scale for the signal

Sent from a SYNERGIZED GalaxySIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] metalcated:
Bars are just a the average of the dBm asu your phone is getting at the location you are at. Best to pay attention to the actual dBm rather than watch bars. You could have a great signal and have 1-2 bars. Common misconception. ;)

Try using dark carbon, it inverts the white BG to black with white text for that app(PlyStr). I don't think there is a way to control that in transparency. I could be wrong though. But dark carbon would make it easier to see.:good

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pimpmaneaton:
It looks like you are running a theme and those pngs that are doing the back ground are apart of the theme. There is nothing in settings that can change the transparency of the drop down menus in apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev. Voodoo:
There was a post on the Google+ community within the past week discussing it. The Carbon team wants to take the release of 4.3 as an opportunity to redo the whole ROM. Between things coming over from liquid, tweaks, etc.... it had gotten messy over time. So everything will be redone while 4.3 is being incorporated. It will take a bit longer for us to get 4.3, but we will get a shiny clean new ROM out of it, I like that plan!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
For me Dark Carbon only inverts messaging, dialer, contacts, etc.. It doesn't affect any gapps. Is there a specific gapps package that I need to flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pimpmaneaton:
The best would be to use the AIO gapps from slim as they have gone through and made all the apps toggelable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
I flashed the AIO upgrade package. Now Gmail, Youtube and Music are darked out :good:. Still nothing for Talk, Play Store or Google+. Not sure if they are all included in the darked out theme package. Maybe I would need a clean install for them? Either way thanks for the info...

I've been watching dBm's for a week now BC I was preparing to switch to the new radio and I did and the numbers are the same.... But data has gotten way worse... I live inside the perimeter of ATL and for me to have a phone call cut in and out every once and a while is awful!!! I work a job that requires a lot of traveling and I take the same routes and connecting to the forum or fb (o fb sucks a big one for connectivity!) But today simple chatting on fb chat and browsing my news feed was making my phone heat up... That is a first but its got to be that new radio... But overall doing that even with the stock modem takes time aka super laggy.... I wish we could get this fixed then ROMs like this and liquid would dominate!

I have a bit of a troubleshooting issue. I'm on the old CarbonROM from July, version 1.7. It worked fine. I had to nandroid and restore to my warranty replacement phone because I broke my old one. Everything works fine after the restore, except the stock carbon messaging app. I receive messages, but never get a notification or sound. Anybody else had this issue? And yes, notifications are on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tpayne2345:
Do you have the same problem on other roms?

either way, I'd suggest flashing one of the latest nightlies instead of trying to troubleshoot.. they're more up to date and just as stable as 1.7, might fix the problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yes, I reflashed and it worked. Any who, how do you add toggles and the brightness bar to the status bar/pulldown menu? I can't remember.

EDIT: Nvm, got it. I have a bad habit of solving my own problems directly after posting on here. Sorry :)

EDIT 2: Reflashed, and now it's doing the same thing. Tried to update. Same thing. I'm at a loss.... Any market messaging app works. Handcent, GoSMS, etc. But stock messaging doesn't. When I restart my phone the stock app buzzes if I have a message waiting, but that's the only icon/sound notification I receive at all. Maybe it's not connecting to the phone SMS database? Idk. If somebody can tell me what to look for and is willing to help out, I can dump a logcat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev. Voodoo:
For all the non-crack flashers who like to stick to stable... I just read on G+ that stable 1.8 is building now (EDIT: correction, it is available). This is the last build for Android 4.2.2 - next up is 4.3. Says if you are coming from 1.7 stable, you'll need a full wipe.
