Right you are! This camera is better than AOSP! However it looks like there are some camera driver issues because even with this app I still get front facing camera issues. It tells me I need to insert an SD card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
While it was fun to mess with pa settings, I didn't use the colors at all and I feel xposed does a better job for what I need. Great effort but I'm kinda glad for the roll back. Am I alone here?

PA is very innovative and original and awesome but it just seems kinda buggy to me at times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
This is true. Same can be said about xposed. But that doesn't seem buggy at all to me and there are more ways to tweak the app. And with the idea of adding new modules, its superb IMO.

I don't really care as long as it works. That being said, I can't get pablet mode to work. It appears the same as phone mode for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simple man:
Did you reboot after switching to phablet mode? When I applied it the other day, it didn't start until I rebooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Yea twice. It worked well until the revert from pa, and worked before pa iirc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
I liked PA. Very nice GUI. I didn't have any problems. On an unrelated note I went back to TW (macksrom) for a while because battery drain was too high, signal strength was too low, and I had lots of trouble with camera drivers. Even with very good camera apps I would get "could not connect to camera" often or FC. I use the phone to take pics of the kids all the time so my camera needs to work very quickly and at all times. Looking forward to a more stable camera with better battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Battery life is good for me but with the matrix kernel, its really good.

I have greenify and Ds battery saver. Maybe you could try those. Those are two amazing apps IMO. And I take pics every day and I haven't had the camera do anything out of the ordinary except the front facing camera freezing up. For front facing, I choose the 4.2 camera with photo sphere. It works. :)

Also with greenify, it keeps RAM very low by hibernating apps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Dude, you have awesome responses. Thank you for taking the time to genuinely try to help people. I did come across greenify (probably from this thread) a few days ago and I agree it's a great app. I was using it but still it seems it only made a dent. I tried the Matrix kernel to no avail.

Your screenshot shows some "decent" battery life but still nothing like what I experience with Perseus and MacksROM (with kernel tweaked towards performance rather than power savings).

Your pic shows 64% battery after 7 hours with almost 4 hours of screen time. That is better than I was getting on Carbon/Matrix but just slightly. On Macks/Perseus after 7 hours and ~4 hours of screen time I'm at 74% battery. Honestly I think the battery drain had mostly to do with signal. I was ignoring the fact that my signal strength showed less with Carbon than MacksROM until I realized that my battery was draining quite quickly at which point I think I realized that my drain was accelerated.

I've had troubles with the snap camera, the carbon 4.2 camera, the modified Samsung S3 camera, and CameraFX. It seems to do fine if I don't change the settings much or move quickly but with the camera I'm always trying to catch my kids doing something so I pull it out quickly plus I have it on 6MP wide, saving to SD card, sounds off, GPS tag on, superfine quality, and I flip through settings and from camera to camcorder quickly... On my OG EVO I had similar issues on CM7. I think there's a camera driver issue because I never get these problems on a TW ROM but I get them consistently on all AOSP ROMs and all camera apps. Also the front facing camera is like a kill-switch on all AOSP ROMs and camera apps.

At any rate, no big deal - there's still stuff to iron out. I loved Carbon and look forward to coming back. I loved the dark black themes with very fast response but I'm not ready to give up signal strength, camera stability, and my ability to avoid the charger all day quite yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkey3ddd:
So I could have missed this somewhere, so my apologies. When I mess with the PA stuff the tablet "pop up" goes partially off screen. I'm running nova prime, so I'm not sure if that could be part of the issue. Would love to go to tablet mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Lower the DPI to something like 220 or lower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkey3ddd:
That did it, not sure how I missed that, thanks sir.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Anybody have any problems with phablet mode, or a solution to mine? It just shows the same as phone mode for me. Dpi at 220.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nicenice19:
You need to enable the Navbar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Doesn't help. still no phablet dropdown
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
I think I found what my issue is. PA phablet mode is different from Xposed phablet mode, because xposed phablet mode only changes the location of the status bar, whereas PA phablet mode also changes the notification menu to be the same as the Nexus 7. That being said, is there a way to sideload PA prefs, or another way to get the Nexus 7 dropdown style?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
Why were the hybrid settings removed in the recent nightlys?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
It seemed like maybe it was too buggy or something but I had no problems with it at all. I'll probably roll back to the last one that had it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Anybody know how to fix the problem where In the phone app, the bar that should be at the bottom moves to the top? With PA preferences you could do it by matching the phone Dpi with system, but that isn't working for xposed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Never been able to get GPS lock, even on 5/2 and latest 5/3 nightly. Original flash was 4/30 nightly, do I need to clear data? I have been wiping delvik & cache on each flash.

Also, when the screen fades to go asleep, it's very choppy. I don't think it's the kernel because I have tried Matrix as well and it does the same thing. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajgates92:
Not sure about the screen, but have you tried kejars workaround for the GPS? Flash a tw ROM, get a GPS lock then flash the cm ROM. More detailed instructions are in the 1st or 2nd post in the cm nightlies thread.

Raise the dpi of the contacts.apk

That actually makes sense as I was thinking about doing that last night. I will go ahead and do that. I saw a "fix" mentioned in this thread, I just couldn't find out where to get the information. Thank you!

No problem! I had the same issue and I couldn't get GPS to work at all and once I did that everything was golden!

UPDATE:

Never mind. I followed the link from several posts ago. Flashed LabRats TW ROM, got GPS lock, then wiped and reflashed Carbon. All is well. Feels good to map again.

Has anyone been able to use the Sensorly app with Carbon or even any AOSP ROM? I have had no success with the last official and numerous nightlies, including 5/2 nightly. I would like to map LTE coverage in my area but unfortunately can't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Has anyone been getting random soft reboots?

I've been following the nightlies for weeks and have had none with included Trinity kernel.. Maybe get a log and post so devs can take a look...

Sent from Houston Texas from my Note2_l900 using Carbon nightly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Is there anywhere that can explain why this is necessary or can you explain it? I tried both contacts and phone at 220(which is what my system is set at) and 320, and I still have the problem.

I have on Matrix kernel. It basically gets into a soft reboot but you don't notice it until you unlock your phone and it can sit in this state for a long time, preventing you from getting any notifications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] omegafiler:
Doesn't look like the change log has been updated yet but I just flashed 1.7 over 1.6 and everything looks good. Guess I'll dig around and see if anything looks different. :)

Even on the latest nightly with stock kernel, still getting soft reboots. Got two the the other day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] harrychimp:
So far here's my battery stats running 1.7 official release.

No hiccups with the ROM so far: no random reboots, apps force closing, etc. It looks like a well built and smooth ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiZzCHaOtic:
Working great for me so far. Was getting "Message not sent" messages every time I'd open my text messaging but after a restart it's not doing it now. I'll see what happens when someone sends me a text because that seems to be when it started before. My text messages were sent despite it saying this according to Google Voice. (My Sprint cell number IS my Google Voice number.) But other than that, so far so good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I'm running 1.7 now.. and the battery life is horrible. Been on battery 3 hour 45 min and Android OS is 38% and Android System is 37% usage and my battery is at 47%. This is ridiculous. Is anyone else having this problem? I am on wifi 98% of the this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Have you checked your wakes? Is this the first cycle your judging cuz if so it takes 4-5+ cycles to start to get an accurate reading of what battery is like after a flash.. See better battery stats app and forum.. My OS is not the biggest drain on 1.7..Right now calls and screen are in the lead.

Loving 1.7 but sure would like voodoo support. Tks for all the work Team Carbon! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simple man:
Carbon has a DSP manager download on their website, I pulled one from a CM10.1

zip i had and installed it. It has the Voodoo type settings on the rightmost panel if you open it and slide all the way to the right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Matrix kernel has voodoo support. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2218601g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I've reflashed the ROM after factory reset and the battery life seems great now. Not sure what happened.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
The built in kernel should have Voodoo support already
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
It did work but for me not after a clean install of 1.7, voodoo no longer worked with Trinity kernel or Matrix..App was no longer compatible...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraminc:
What's new in 1.7?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Just a heads up. I did a clean install of 1.7 and using the matrix kernel I think I over-agressively UV/OC'd the CPU which caused the phone to freeze while in the market and reboot. It hung at the boot screen and always bootlooped. The ROM didn't recover from the freeze. I tried doing dalvik/cache (didn't work) then also full wipe (didn't work) and had to full wipe and reinstall 1.7. 1.7 didn't seem to play nice with freezing.

FYI I tried to flash it over the 4-25 nightly (just clearing cache/dalvik) but that wouldn't work. Needed to do a fresh install (full wipe) to install 1.7 over that nightly. Perhaps it's because of the PA settings in the DATA partition that needed to be purged... I dunno. That kind of bummed me though because I had to completely reset everything.

On a positive note, everything seems to be working great! I can't measure battery life yet because I had to reboot and reflash so much today but hopefully I'll get a bead on that tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Yeah that'll always happen on every rom. The settings stay intact until you overwrite them or wipe them completely. in this case your under volt/over clock... You live, you learn. ;)

Edit: sorry misread. Thought you only wiped cache and dalvik. A full wipe didn't take care of it huh? Hrmm. Ah well glad its fixed now.

Hey guys, so lately I noticed that my wifi connection would keep dropping at not being able to re connect. I figured it was my router, but same thing happened at work. I went ahead and flashed Carbon 1.7 with the latest matrix kernel to no avail. I then downloaded and flashed back to a TW rom and was able to connect once again. I then flashed back to carbon wiping system, cache, and dalvik cache. I still cannot connect to wifi on Carbon rom. I have not noticed any one else having this issue so far, any ideas? Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blankrubber:
Relocate Status Bar

Does any know where to find the option (or a method to) move the statusbar to the bottom of the screen? I know AOKP and a few others had this in the past. Does this rom have this feature? Is it in xposed or PA? I can't find it in either.

Also, I did search the thread but came up empty =).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Back in the nightlies when it had PA options you could but no longer (as far as I know). I've had to re-setup Carbon several times in the past few days so I'm all-too-familiar with the settings.

FYI - I had a couple of systemUI force closes by holding the home button, going to recent apps and picking a recent app. Since bringing up my voltages I've seen one hang requiring a battery pull but this time it recovered fine. I think the ROM is pretty stable besides the systemUI item. Camera (snap camera, by recommendation of someone on here) works great, even front facing. One odd note is that on Ingress I have to open maps to get a GPS lock every now and again... I have no idea why. Maps has no problem getting a lock. When on a TW ROM this doesn't happen and it didn't happen on previous Carbon nightlies either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blankrubber:
Thanks for the response. Can we install the Paranoid Android apk on this rom? I know it's possible to extract the apk from the PA rom, but I don't know if it relies on framework tweaks native to PA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
You can do it through carbon settings' UI mode. I don't have this rom installed atm, otherwise I would tell you the entire mapping. ROM control sounds familiar...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
He's right. Settings > Carbon ROM > Interface > UI Mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blankrubber:
For me, this setting seems to change the navbar position, or combine the navbar with the statusbar at the bottom of the screen. I guess this will work, but I'm just wanting the statusbar at the bottom like we could do in previous versions of CM.

EDIT: But, in the meantime I've enabled Tablet mode and will deal with the navbar sticking around =p. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Ah. I haven't been able to get the status bar at the bottom without the nav bar on any rom since PA dropped cm as a base. Don't think it's possible atm unless you go back to a 4.1

Battery life was great on 1.6 and I usually went to sleep with 40 percent charge left.

Can someone go into settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and tell me what button is checked on your Sprint L900?

I was using the "signal" quick toggle and I don't really know what it does but I suspect that it changes my network type... I thought it would just turn on/off my cell radio. Now my phone shows "Global" as my chosen Network Mode and anytime I click something else it won't stick. I thought there was an LTE/CDMA option... but I don't have one. Now I can't get signal.

Eh... I didn't want to do this but I'm just restoring a nandroid. Suppose that'll do it. Edit - yes that did do it.

Warning to you all. Do not use the "signal" quick toggle. Our standard Network mode is LTE/CDMA/EVDO but that's not an option on the list so when you click the toggle you change it from that default and there's no way to bring it back. I tried clearing the data for the "settings" app but that didn't work, I had to reinstall 1.7.

My battery did pretty good yesterday, about on par with Touchwiz. Toward the end of the night I had 3 reboots. It usually happens when the market kicks in. I just reinstalled again and still had the market force close on me. Not a big deal... just something you don't deal with in TW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajgates92:
I just pressed the signal quick toggle and it does nothing. I think it resets the signal or turns it off and on like you said. I pressed it and my phone was still lte/CDMA/evdo so I pressed it a couple more times and it was still good.

Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom 1.1 JB 4.2.2 [l900] » Feb 15

You keep bringing up this memory leak and I think this scares people from trying this rom. I have have had no memory leak on this rom neither with the first version nor this version. It could be a specific app that your running that is causing the leak. Rom is running fantastic besides the fact that NFC does not seem to turn on. The other guys that previously posted seem to be scaring people with the whole SD card issue which is really a non issue if you know what your doing. The ROM is great and can easily be a daily driver for many of you. It is for me. Thanks for bringing this to us. Much appreciated.
