Never had the hot problem on different dpi.

You can leave your global DPI settings at 320 and use the Xposed settings to make custom dpi, screen, font size, fullscreen app by app. Settings>Interactive is where you go to set them up.

First click Framework and Modules. Then click Install/Update on FRAMEWORK tab. Then go to MODULES tab and check Xposed App Settings.

Last go back to FRAMEWORK tab and click SOFT REBOOT.

After setup-- open exposed, choose Settings>Xposed>Per App Settings. Choose an app (Settings is the app in this case) from the apps in the list.

Toggle the ON switch at the top. Tweak your settings match mine in the screenshot. Click Save icon (say yes to Kill question), Click Menu in upper right>Launch

Mess around app by app to get the settings right for you by repeating Tweak, Save (Kill), Launch until it's the way you like it.

I seen there was a wallpaper in the extras area of the download section for this rom. And i though hmm thats nice but i can do better. (im not calling anyone out) just thought i could remake it to my standard. Sorry if i offended anyone this is not my intention.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:
So far this has been a great rom, very stable and fast. One thing I wanted to point out and see if others noticed it, the led colors do not change for notifications and charging and changes made do not apply. This was a clean install etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fusiongalaxy:
Changed my dpi to 240 and now all my widgets, icons don't fill the screen. It's like there is more space for them but there isnt if that makes sense. Is there a way to adjust the size of the Icon and widgets to make them fill the screen with the new dpi? *EDIT* Disregard this. Changed to Nova Launcher and problem solved!

Also just noticed, and I don't know if this is from changing dpi settings or not. But in the recent/missed calls screen I have a thin blue running across the top of the screen about a 1/4 of the way down, when I swipe over to the dialer it goes away. What is causing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
LED colors do change you just have to play around with the colors a bit. For a certain color you want, move the bar on the right up and down slightly and move the selector in the color square around a bit until it works. Takes a bit of fiddling around. It has been this way with the LED on AOSP for the s3 since it came out. Also after you hit "ok" to confirm, back out and go back in and hit "ok" again. Sometimes that helps.

At least this is how I do it and it eventually works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buffal0b1ll:
Turning CRT animation off has no affect on black/white-line screen freezes. The last half a dozen pages document that flashing Kt747 kernel or lean kernel 2.7.1 will fix it. Or hope and wait for a fix in 1.5;)

KT fixed it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmotyka:
Lean kernel fixed it for me. It was happening 5-6 times a day. What was funny though is that sometimes if i touched the screen i can feel the haptic feedback and launcher sounds as if it was still operating normally but without any display.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
bear in mind these features, while cool, do slow your phone down. don't enable them and then complain that things seems slow. ;)

one xposed mod i do recommend is the play store mod that lets you install apps despite the normal compatibility restrictions you would get on some apps if you resized your dpi from default.

again, regarding the freezing, lag, etc - use LK or KT. the stock CM kernel that made it into this one has problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danstar:
I had been running carbon 1.3 with the TS crackflasher inverted apps and had no problems. When I try running 1.4 with the same inverted apps, I get nothing but FC's on everything. This was a clean install with no backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
This is because version 1.4 was Odexed. You will need to remove the .odex file for the apps that Force Closing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dspcap:
Thanks, I'll try that. What are you using instead to make tweaks?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fusiongalaxy:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DFieldFL:
Running 1.4 with KT and everything is rocksolid thus far. Thanks for great rom! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buffal0b1ll:
Enhancement request.

I saw this in DIRTY AOKP for N7 and liked it alot. Not sure if it strays too far from pure Google but please consider.

I liked the way GB and ICS handled this situation, but ever since JB came out we have to click twice to get a file to open when there's multiple apps to choose from.

If you don't want to set a default you have to click the app then choose "Just Once" (or double click the app--just learned that trick;) ) Either way you slice it that two taps to move forward.

DIRTY AOKP had a preselected radio button on "Just Once" so all you had to do was tap the app and go, or if you wanted to set a default you radioed "Always" before tapping the app. So that's one tap for "Just Once" and two taps for "Always".

Make sense?

Thanks for considering. You don't hear it enough---CarbonRom is the best ever!

I second. the way my N7 rom handles these situations is convenient. something like this might not be hard to do even if it is a separate mod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fatmaninc:
This is probably a stupid question, but i want to make sure cause this is my first ever asop rom. but is it possible to get the samsung stock camera?

Also there is a issue idk if anyone figured a way around the screen just stays blank not matter what i do intel i do a battery pull. I turned off the crt thing so ill let you know if i get anymore of the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
There is no way to get the Samsung camera on this rom.

As for the black screen, do yourself a favor and read the last few pages before you flash a rom...It can help prevent a ton of headaches.

The crt is not the issue...get yourself a different kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scarygood536:
well the stock camera isn't 4.2.2 based my guess is you will run into issues trying to use it. Also, It probably uses different framework. so no. have you tried raising the min clock speed? usually this helps with issues like you are seeing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fatmaninc:
Relentless, i always do a clean install never dirty. but i may try fix permission thing. yea i am going to flash a different kerenl

Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom 1.4 JB 4.2.2 [d2vzw] » Feb 24

Since carbon has the xposed framework built in, you can install the Alternate App Picker module to achieve this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
It's been discussed in the last few pages that the included kernel is the source of the problem. KT kernel has always treated me right :)

Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom 1.4 JB 4.2.2 [d2vzw] » Feb 24

I don't know if the dev already knows this or not. (Probably does) but I think the white line bug has something to do with the auto sleep or auto screen off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I tried 1.4 myself, and would get the white line bug when turning the screen off myself after a few times. But its possible that it never happened until the auto screen off had went into effect and I had turned the phone back on. Sorry for not reading the previous posts. I assume you're talking about where you have to do a battery pull. I've seen a similar bug in roms before on the DX but it never would lockup the phone like this one does. I still can't wait to see where this rom goes. Because it's performance is really amazing out of the box with really quick startup times as you who have tried the rom already know.

Thanks CarbonDev Team, and everyone else who is making it happen, Slim, AOKP, and CM I assume.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom 1.4 JB 4.2.2 [d2vzw] » Feb 24

Flash KT kernel. That will solve the screen / white line issue.

The stock cm kernel was the problem in 1.4. There is no mystery to this. The next release should have this bug removed in the bundled kernel.

I wonder how many times this has been mentioned in the past ten pages. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Thanks man, just after I posted I started backing up and from now on, I'll catch up then post.. Thanks again. I normally try not to do such silly things, but again have been out of the loop for a few days.

Thanks again Spearoid, try to not hold it against me. I apologize. I've seen questions answered before on the very last page at times and people still ask the question when the answer is a few posts above.. LOL.. Again. Sorry guys...

I just spent part of the evening getting slim back on since my nandroid for that rom was borked from too much tinkering from too many scripts. That's probably my fault as well and not the scripts.

This Xposed Framework Mod might be just what you are looking for http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/enable-call-recording.3/viewfile

I have NOT tested it. The version of Xposed Installer on Carbon 1.4 = 2.1.1 and this module claims it works with 2.0.*, so I'd Nandroid before trying it if I were you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
1.4

KT kernel

-hot reboot once a day or so

-home button sometimes when tapped will act as if it was held down. (pulls recent apps instead of just going to my default home screen)

Otherwise things are looking very good. Crazy amount of options in this rom.

nice work

Anyone successful at getting 'phablet mode' working (like in PA).? I took a stab at it using xposed which resulted in a systemui fc loop. Also tried lcd density in Interface settings which gave the same result.

Also, within lcd settings, the step 5 market link no longer works. Which app does it point to?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom 1.4 JB 4.2.2 [d2vzw] » Feb 24

I don't believe the home button bug is a Carbon bug. I have had that problem on all AOSP ROMs on all my phones whenever I choose to use the long press options that are made available on these custom ROMs for the home, menu, back, and search buttons.

I've learned to just never use any of those custom settings and I never see the problem any longer. I've never had the long press options work without that problem occurring eventually for at least one of my hard buttons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] atpjoe:
KT kernel fixed my white line issue. ROM is killing it consistently. Great stuff. Only issue I have now is lowered DPI and the excessive amount of dead space on my home screen. Can't put icons towards the edges. Is there a fix? Haven't seen one skimming the recent pages. Makes widgets suck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
What launcher are you using? Apex and Nova (I think) allow you to re-size the homescreen layout, which would allow you to put icons to the edges.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] big blue:
Wondering if anyone else is noticing an increased # of Nova Launcher force closes? I thought it may have been because I dirty flashed from 1.3. So I clean flashed last night and I'm still seeing this. I know Nova has updated their app a couple times over the last few days. Maybe its on their end. Oh... and I'm not complaining btw... just stating an observation.

I use Nova having no problems on 1.4

Maybe uninstall and re download from market.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] atpjoe:
Whatever the ROM comes with. I had Nova on my last ROM didn't mind it, I'll give that a try. Would hate to give up my low DPI. It's hard to go back to everything being huge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buffal0b1ll:
I use Nova on my Carbon 1.4 Nexus 7 on 165dpi and it's easy to get the look you want.

Nova Settings>Desktop>Width Margin>None

Nova Settings>Desktop>Height Margin>None

Nova Settings>Desktop>Desktop Grid - Maybe you could handle 7 X 6? Up to you.

Nova will not disappoint. Nova looks and feels like stock but it has all the long press goodies to make things quicker at home and in the app drawer. Its import from other launcher feature makes it easy to install and set up in seconds. And it's backup feature makes it a great choice for frequent flashers too.

After a few hours of running this ROM, it gets really laggy and unstable to the point where it SOD's. A reboot will fix it until a few hours then it does it again. No custom kernel, any recommendations?

Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom 1.4 JB 4.2.2 [d2vzw] » Feb 24

I've noticed that my keyboard lags when I'm using this ROM. The keyboard doesn't update straight a way and there is a considerable lag until it catches up. It continues to type but the animations are really far behind. I've used both the stock keyboard and also Kii keyboard available from PlayStore.

Also, file managers aren't working properly. I've tried to use ES File Explorer bit every time I click on downloads it crashes. I've also used Astro but the same issue occurs - this time when I attempt to open an APK folder inside the Download folder. I've used others as well. Anybody know the reason? Its frustrating as I have a few apks I want to install - PerfMonitor, StaticROMAnalysis, Triangle Away etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dspcap:
I obviously don't know your level of experience, but it sounds like you may want to re-download carbon and do a complete wipe. Then before you restore ANY apps or data, try browsing the web and writing some emails. See if there's still a lag with a clean rom installed. If you have NO issues (which I bet you won't), then restore your apps w/out data... Again, write some emails and browse the web to see about lag. Then restore data last and do the same. See if you can figure out where the problem starts.

Doesn't sound like a ROM issue. Also, there are some problems with the stock kernel, so switch to KT also.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Me too They've done a super job thus far. I'm thinking of trying it again tonight. I hadn't had time to keep up with the forums lately and found that there was a fix for the screen error.

Not only is it one of the fastest if not the fastest rom I've ever ran especially the boot times. Simply awesome. And a fine job.

What I really appreciate other then the tweaks for performance than everyone enjoys but I like than they've incorporated many features from other Roms such as Slim. That's what I liked about the originial CM7, AOKP, and Liquid based on CM or even iCS. Aesthetics features. Aesthetics are very important to me on a device that is my do everything machine from browsing a little to ereader, news, radio, music, TomTom, Tablet type device, etc etc. So for me looks are very important. I'll take performance and stability for aesthetics any day, but they're done a great job giving us both.

Time to make my new Slim Nandroid just in case. Slim is one of my favs for this phone. Now Carbon could take it's place as number 1 at least for me. Forking and doing what they've done is great you can never have too many choices IMHO. Just like other linux distros, even in 2002 you had many options for a system, now it's unreal at the number of distros available. Even my coworkers arre starting to come around to Linux since I've preached it as an up and coming Desktop Alternative, But myself and others do need Autocad and other Windows only crap. I've preached Android phones or even tablets for two years for our field crew to find and record the data we need. They're just now coming around to that. I gotta get home..

Anyway, Thanks again to Team CarbonDev, Slimroms, AOKP, CM, and the entire community. Without so many nice people willing to help out especially when I get out of the loop at times I'd never know half the things I do now.

You guys probably get tired of hearing me say thanks but I mean it from my sgs3's heart. And mine too Thanks everyone
