[Nexus 7 Original Development] buffal0b1ll:
Came from CM10.1 Nightlies to Carbonrom for N7 today. I switched my Galaxy S3 from LIQUIDSMOOTH to Carbonrom last week so I mostly knew what to expect from CarbonRom.

DIRTY Flashed CarbonROM, 121212gapps, and MyLifeRocks10 play store apk and everything works and is smooth and stable. Went with the stock LINARO kernel. Had to do a minor tweak to get the secondary users working right again. See below.

-I had Nova launcher on my primary user so everything was still there and it worked. My lockscreen lost it's Chronus and Calendar widget but that's no big deal

-My son who uses the tablet as a secondary user has Apex launcher so his settings survived the dirty flash and he was fine in his launcher too

-Both my daughters had been using Trebuchet (CM's launcher) so when I logged in as them on the N7 there was no launcher at all and no way to get to apps. To fix this I sent them each an email with a link to Nova Launcher in the Playstore. Then I set up the Gmail lockscreen widget for each of them and used it to open the email I'd sent and install Nova;) Now they are fine.

-Another problem I had to overcome was an "Unfortunately Themes Provider has Stopped" error message that I got whenever a secondary user logged in or whenever they rotated their screen from portrait to landscape or vice versa. I'd encountered this issue before when I tried out DIRTY-AOKP rom for N7 a few weeks ago to. Chalk it up to my dirty flash? I don't know. To fix this I went to Settings>Apps>All>Themes Provider>Disable for EVERY SECONDARY user on the tablet. I left this setting alone for primary user. This fixs the problem without even rebooting

-I needed the MyLifeRocks custom playstore because I wanted to test switching the DPI from 213 to 165 using Carbon's built in DPI settings. I've messed around with a lot of DPI settings in build.prop and a lot of TabletUI ROMs trying to find nirvana --- and I knew that custom DPI causes Play Store compatibility issues. Anyhow, the custom MyLifeRocks playstore works. 32 apps needed updates before setting the DPI to 165, and 32 apps need updates after switching to DPI = 165.

-LASTLY, I HAVE FOUND THE N7 PHABLET UI & SWYPE BETA 1.4 KEYBOARD NIRVANA I'VE BEEN SEEKING!!! As stated above, I've been monkeying with build props and Tablet/Phablet/PhoneUI's for months and haven't found the right fit for my need. The problem is that in landscape mode at default DPI (213), the Swype keyboard acts like it's in phone mode and many apps that I use daily, e.g. Talk, Email. I can't stand not seeing the GTalk thread history while I'm typing a new thread, so I've just been using Android 4.2 Keyboard instead, until now. With the DPI set thru Carbon Settings to 165 I get to have my cake {Phablet Mode -- Back, Home, Recent centered on bottom, Nav Drawer upper left, and Toggles upper right)} and eat it too {use Swype Beta keyboard in Landscape Tablet view}. No other ROM (CM10, CM10.1, Paranoid, DIRTY AOKP), DPI hack, or TabletUI setting I've tried has been able to deliver stock Phablet UI and tablet behavior in Swype Beta. With DPI on 165 and Settings>Display>Font Size>Huge

I'm stoked!!! Thanks, Carbon!

Done a full wipe even though I was coming from another AOSP ROM, everything went smoothly, no force close issues, also flashed Franco r46 kernel and using Nova Launcher, blazing fast and very smooth

I believe their already working on that. All we need now is some patience and a nand backup. :p
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
Nand backup definately, I have actually already built it, just needs testing and any bugs squished :)

Expect the update very soon :)

Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom JB 4.2.1 [grouper] » Feb 7

I decided I like this rom enough I'm going to stick with it. I gotta ask though, when it gets updated to 4.2.2, do I need to flash the new bootloader first, because I'm not exactly sure how to obtain that. I remember 4.1.2 had a bootloader update, and someone posted a flashable zip for it, but this time nobody has. Just curious, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi,

I bought my N7 release week (July 17, 2012, around that day) and have never updated the bootloader...

I rooted the day I got it, put roms on it that day, and have ever since... I dont think a bootloader is needed :)

Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom JB 4.2.1 [grouper] » Feb 7

Cool good deal, thanks. Yeah mine isn't far behind yours, c70 model, 16gb,bought it first week of august
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
Switched from tons of roms like PA,pacman, xylon

First impressions, fast smooth and full of useful features

Thank you, will test more and report later

Never mind,this ROM is just ridiculous fast,thank you again,keep up the good work
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dwxvi:
Have not tested Carbon in a while, did somebody say PA Prefs?

Hybrid Carbon? :eek:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
We did say that :) Try it out... hopefully you'll like it :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dwxvi:
This should be nifty, I kinda like using tablet UI. But I agree with what was said before, it really does seem like most people are hopping on the PA bandwagon (Orca/OrcaBigfoot). But there's nothing wrong with that! Let's just see who can implement it the best ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
I can't access notification and quick toogle by slide from left to right in pie trigger area

Otherwise,this ROM is great
[Nexus 7 Original Development] brainvision:
I've not been able to check it, so I'll ask again, please.. So Carbon has PA Hybrid engine or the Exposed Framework?

Thanks a lot.. ;)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
it had Xposed, we removed it, and now it has PA Hybrid (nightlies, stable coming up soon) :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
I seem to be able to access them, Just swipe to bring pie up, then swipe over to one of the "crosses" then let go, it should bring up notif or quick toggles :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k29er:
Sorry, just wondering why the change? I liked it the way it was. Tried pa, liked it but didn't stick with it. Stuck with carbon since the start.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
I am assuming this switch is doing with the new hybrid 2 in mind? Hopefully we will get pie 2 as well?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
We were waiting for hybrid 2 to just merge that in, however, we got bored of waiting... And yes, we're also looking forward to pie 2 too :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
It was one of the most requested features, and it works well... Today I will make the flashable.zip to remove it and upload it to the carbon extras page in goo.im...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
sorry for being annoying but is there a way to change color of the WiFi signal on status bar,PA pref doesn't works:(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
As they're images I don't think there is... I'm looking into it though...

Do you know if others ROMs can? Can AOSPA? As in their hybrid settings it has the "status bar icons" setting...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
AOSPA can,in hybrid properties--interface

but i cant change it here,even with pa hybrid properties :(

funny thing that this morning,my wifi signal is white and now it is holo blue
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
OK, I will look through the AOSPA commits and see how they do it...

The white and blue is Google's doing... If it white you're not connected to Google servers, and when blue you are... This was introduced in android 2.3 gingerbread (albeit green)..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
well,thank you

one more small request,xylon have an option to display wifi signal as percentage,and if you dont mind,could you please bring that over here

sorry and thank so much for your patience
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
Matt

I don't want to sound stubborn or repetitive or bug you with this, but I have Carbon in three of my devices and in none of the threads I follow, there is a request to implement a hybrid engine.

More so, a number on Carbon users are PA "drpouts" tired of a buggy and leggy platform and very happy to encounter something in the middle, feature rich, efficient, stable, and well supported.

I can also agree that the Xposed framework is a failure.. I tried and left it. But Carbon is much more than that. Just a few days ago you implemented AOKP ribbon. A nice feature that worked from day one. Your PIE implementation is the best that I've used, and all the features that make this rom so usable and a delight to configure.. Things that add value to the OS, and prevents you guys to get into a support nightmare.

Cheers

I believe it is only the hybrid replacing the xposed, not a PA ification project.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] prototype7:
There's a lot more going on than just what's in the threads, Facebook and G+ get a lot of action as well, that's where most of the requests were coming from. Matt's going to make a script to uninstall PAPrefs on Sunday if he can, in the meantime, you can just delete ParanoidPreferences.apk from /system/app and not have to worry about it. It can't break anything if you don't use it at all, and most people haven't had an issue with it anyways.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
I do follow the G+ community..but I prefer to focus on the devices I have.. Well, let's leave it there.. I am sure that by the same token, an installer can be provided. I wish you good luck..

[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
i don't know why you guys get so obsess about new PA pref,i thought matt said that new hybrid engine doesn't affect the performance of the ROM,so why dont leave it there?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bervin:
has navbar height been removed in latest nightly? i can't find it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mahdi786:
That's the problem with using pa hybrid, you have to use their navbar height adjuster, I think aokp's height adjuster is much better.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Just imagine hybrid settings to be the category for the appearance/size/placement of the user interface
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
Never mentioned performance as i installed once and left

There you go

[Nexus 7 Original Development] prosttyle:
Is there any way to change the DPI on notifications/power settings box? I really like the ROM but i couldnt find the option, im used to the 160DPI tablet UI from PA and i like it that way.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
in the stting/hybrid properties/interface
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k29er:
So if you are going to use pa's ui and its pie control what will be the difference between this ROM an pa?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
1.it's way smother than PA

2,its just hybrid engine.Without it,what will be the diffrence between this rom,xylon or many AOSP ROMs out there?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k29er:
Sorry. All the others roms I run are aosp. I didn't realize it was the same. Tablet ui is aosp?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
imo,they are just the same with likely same performance and cherry pick features from cm aokp and PA

i dont understand you saying "tablet ui is aosp"
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k29er:
At this point I am just being a troll. If I like the changes I will stay with carbon and if I don't I will move on.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Is there any way to reduce the minimum brightness of the backlight? The screen is awfully bright in a dark room
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
Look for "screen filter" in the store.

Try root dim from the play store :cool:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Sorry, I meant to ask if the room could do anything, rootdim minimum is the same as my regular minimum. Screen filter is not changing the backlight, it is just adding color on top
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Shmi117:
Try Lux Auto Brightness. You can set it up so that if you are in a dark room it'll change to whatever setting you want (and in this case, a below zero setting). Good luck :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dangnhap01:
using pie,hide nav bar,expanded desktop disabled

sometimes,when using dolphin browser or facebook,my status bar just disappear,and it's look like screen expanded

just want to know if this is a bug,i also ran into this when using xylon
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
Carbon Changelog :

Thank you guys... Nice try.

The good thing: you have demonstrated that

-you listen

-you care for your users

-you recognize when timeless decisions are made and revert

So.. Matt, what about reverting.. Just flashing 4-29?

Cheers

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, just flash... If you have problems, then try a full wipe :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
Just wiped caches and flashed 4-24 over 4-27 (Grouper) . Everything is back without issues. Other devices are still in 4-24.

Cheers

Edit:flashed gapps also

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
No! Flashed 4/29 and the screen does not respond on top where status bar should be (when hidden via extended desktop or otherwise )
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
I did a full wipe an reinstalled 4-24 as it was getting a bit leggy. Now flashed 4-29 and everything is working. Screen responds as usual.

Sent from The Beast using Tapatalk HD
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Try enabling extended desktop to hide navbar and status bar, after that, try pressing anything on the top 1/4 inch of the screen, like the option button in the settings menu. You can press the lower half of the button but to upper half won't work. The statusbar bug was there with 4/24 too, so I am not sure what usual is, first reporting is 4/17. I clean installed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
I am navigating Tapatalk. No problem.

Edit: More so, I sometimes work with expanded desktop enabled and pie on my right. Now have ribbon on my left.

Tapatalk buttons are large, I can navigate it too, but the buttons will not work if I press the very top. You have statusbar disabled right?

Can anyone else confirm?

I just moved pie to the top and can trigger it with expanded desktop enabled.. There is nothing else further closer to the vessel that i can activate

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
I wonder if it is an interface setting that sets it off, kinda like the circle battery problem we had a while back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
The option button works fine. I've never experienced the problem you are experiencing with any of the builds or settings.

If you had it in a previous build.. Well, I just tell you I am with Carbon since beta 1.4.

Have you tried with a different kernel than the one you are using? I am on Faux 18u

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
I didn't have with 4/14, other people had it with 4/17 onwards, if you look some pages back, so let's see how it is for other people. I am pretty sure this is not an isolated incident, there is probably some weird setting combination / sequence causing it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VanillaG0rilla:
I have the issue too. Any buttons near the top dont work. I have to tap several times before i hit the right spot.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Voila, I'm not crazy!

My dpi is as default, did not change it. I do not have any interface apps installed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
What kernel are you with?

Sent from The Beast using Tapatalk HD
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
I understand that you like this rom, but let us wait for others to chime in for a second. I can drag down the notification without expanded desktop, so the top touch part does work in certain configurations. I am using franco r60, but I used various nightlies up to 14 without a problem.

*btw, where did the hybrid settings go, did you remove them temporarily, they sure are not in 4/29!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VanillaG0rilla:
I'm using faux kernel with 213 dpi.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] waz675:
I also noticed it in tablet mode
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
I'm aware of the issue, and have just tried it for myself and can confirm it (tried in chrome and it does have a problem)... Will look into it... ;)

Can anyone confirm, it only happens when the status bar is ,want to be at the top, but isn't actually there (expanded desktop, tabUI)?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
When it is at the top, and visible, I can touch that zone to drag down notification or toggles.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
Matt,

It does not happen to me unless it's a particular setting or UI configuration that i don't use.

Have tried the three UI modes with no issues

[Nexus 7 Original Development] dstryrwiz:
This is definitely an issue since the hidden status bar was added. This bug alone has forced me off of Carbon ROM as of late as it makes the ROM virtually unusable for me. Once this is fixed I look forward to reflashing this ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
That is what I am trying to find in order to avoid the conditions that cause the issue.

I have Carbon in three different devices and Matt supports two of them. All of them are in 4-29. I would like to know the conditions as Matt himself has confirmed it exists.

Does anyone else on a different device that runs carbon has the same issue, or is it just grouper? I think that it is a global bug and might be hitting all devices, as it seems to do it on my one x too...

I use tablet mode with expanded desktop on. Im not sure if it exists under other conditions. I have the issue on 2 different devices. Any button that appears where the status bar normally is only works if you press the bottom part of the button. Even then i have to touch it a few before it registers. Any other part of the screen works normally.
