[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadiros:
Ok, fresh installed ROM and gapps only. The same result : bootloop city. Actually seems to be stuck on preparing apps, and the loading circle spins for awhile then freezes. Once again clearing caches eventually gets a full boot. Weird :what: Tried this with the last few builds. ROM is great as long as I don't reboot or have time for apps to optimize every time lol.

*Edit Wow, been flashing ROMs for over 4 years and this time was definitely unique LoL.

I discovered that flashing any gapps package within the same session as the ROM resulted in first a bootloop which I remedied by forcing back into recovery and wiping caches (as stated earlier) and then often freezing at the end of the boot while "updating". I tried several different Carbon builds as well with he same result. I tried several of the most popular gapps packages (of which tested and work on other ROMS) and none allowed a free boot. ROM boots fine without flashing gapps, every time!

Sooo, the solution was to flash the ROM, let it boot up, reboot into recovery and flash gapps. I even played it safe and after sucessfully booting with the gapps I rebooted again to flash M-kernel. WTF eh!

My device has not proven to be unique with any other build or mod...just flash away. And from a clean fresh fully wiped state how do I get this result and no one else?

Anyways I made it and Carbon's worth it. Ran with it through 4.2 and never regretted it. Maybe this will help someone else. Cheers :victory:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cryingmoose:
I'm getting the boot stalling error myself on 1006.

Have to wipe cache in recovery just to get it running, even after a reboot.

Also had to use the safeboot trick to get to boot after install also.

(this is coming off of a clean wipe, and not dirty flashed over 0910)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadiros:
Did you try flashing ROM and gapps separately? Works a treat now. Can even reboot. Wow eh! LoL:sly:

I can't seem to get Voice+ working on the 10/9 nightly. Is it working for anyone else?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Limbo045:
Nightly

Where can I find the latest nightly's. Link in OP shows 1009 as latest nightly
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
gonna give the latest nightly a go.

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

cant even get this rom to boot, even flashing before i flash the gapps. did a cache/dalvik wipe a few times. gonna see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Try booting in safe mode on the first boot by holding volume down while it's booting.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] WastedJoker:
Latest nightly - the notification bar and the menu bar with back/home buttons are flickering between opaque and transparent?

It flickers a lot so I couldn't capture screenshot of both at same time.

revolt rom also does that
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadaltennis77:
I just flashed carbon 4.3 over 4.2.2 and I am now stuck on the bootloader. When I hold down the power and 2 volume keys, I get to a screen with a green android where I can toggle the volume kegs to select "recovery" with the power button, but it reboots and then just gets stuck with the carbon logo again and never goes to recovery.

Would did I do wrong and how can I fix it to be able to use carbon 4.3?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Try booting the rom into safe mode. What recovery did you have and what is your bootloader version?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadaltennis77:
How do I boot into safe mode? My bootloader is 3.34 and I have TWRP recovery. I used to have 2.5 but I actually updated it to 2.6.3 right before trying to update to 4.3. Is this a red flag anywhere?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CreepyE:
While your tablets first booting, hold down the volume down button til it turns on
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadaltennis77:
Great! It booted up but now it says "safe mode" in the bottom left hand corner. It went to the setup screen. What should I do not from here to be able to use this rom like normal so it won't have to be in safe mode?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CreepyE:
Now just reboot normally and it should boot up fine without safe mode
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Prolly should update your bootloader which may be what's causing problems.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadaltennis77:
Ok, should I always look to be updating my bootloader especially before updating to a new version of android? I also have a nexus 4 that is on carbon 4.2.2 and am looking to update it to 4.3 as well and am afraid of this problem happening on my N4 as well. Is updating bootloaders safe and encouraged? can there be backwards compatibility issues?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
It has caused people trouble in the past not updating the bootloader so I always keep up to date. I get the bootloaders from the factory images google puts out.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] youdug:

I haven't had any issues with Carbon in sometime myself. Best hands down?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] youdug:
I dont want to say best this or that but its definitely my favorite ATM.

Im at 78% with 2 hours screen on time and minimal lag if any at 1.3/200.

Just lowered it to 1.1 to see if theres any difference.

Almost all the customization i would want with all the performance and twice the battery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lupin The Third:
Hi there, can you help? I have two questions.

Which is the latest bootloader for n7? I have 4.18.

Do you have a flashable pack for bootloader or you fasboot the img?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
You need to fast boot the img and I believe the most recent is 4.23 iirc
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lupin The Third:
Can anyone please check if you have a flickering statusbar, in these conditions:

Set ui in phablet mode

Enable pie

Hide navbar

Scroll through the homepages.

Is your statusbar flickering while scrolling homepages?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadiros:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Celtyc:
Anyone else having issue charging the device? For the last few nightlies when I charge overnight I'm only getting about 20% charged.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] divvykev:
The only way I have found around this issue is actually switching the unit off whilst charging.

Suffered with this issue off and on for a few months and its occurred on various Roms.

May be linked to the headphone socket issue (where you have to squeeze various parts to get sound from both sides) but there are various theories on that one.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
I've not seen this behaviour. Could it be the kernel that you're using?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adame09:
For some reason I can't get this to boot on my nexus 7 2012 I'm using twrp recovery and im doing a full wipe of system boot data and cache but I'm getting stuck at the carbon boot animation I let it sit for nearly 30 mins what could I be doing different? I tried flashing nightlies dated 10/19 and 10/20 just the rom zip by itself
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Just boot to safe mode once by holding volume down until it boots completely. Next boot should be fine..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adame09:
What's the reason we need to do this is this ROM not stable?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
I really don't know but it didn't happen to me on yesterday's build..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
Happens to a few people, but I don't know why. We have 2 groupers in the team and neither of us can replicate the issue..

Maybe the kernel that was on the device before? Maybe multi rom? Maybe recovery?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slebit:
New nightly is out.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Galactic2:
Some issues I've run into after a fresh install, stock kernel.

Restarting, once reaching the lockscreen, the navbar/statusbar are usually not present and takes a minute or two to pop up.

Carbon Rom Setting are unable to be open. I get a "Carbon Settings has stopped" message. Tried clearing carbon settings data / restarting, not working.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] twizmwazin:
I am considering switching over from cm10.2 nightlies, question is, does Carbon still have the same issues with custom kernels and ramdisk? I prefer m-kernel, It preforms best for me. If there is a problem, is there an easy workaround?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
There is an OxyDo kernel compiled with the Carbon ramdisk in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46777815
[Nexus 7 Original Development] crookshanks:
I've never had a problem flashing anything...but I can't get the 10/27 nightly to boot. I was running the last Carbon 4.2.2 release and it ran so well I didn't have a need to flash anything but I was just too curious not to try it. I updated the bootloader, it boots into safe mode, but it won't boot past the carbon animation other than in safe mode. I did a wipe, flashed the ROM then the GAPPS and that's it. Any suggestions?

The latest AOKP booted up just fine but I love me some Carbon.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Working for me... Delete the phone.apk if your using a custom kernel
[Nexus 7 Original Development] npiper05:
I'm having a similar issue. I've run PA, AOKP, and Stock 4.3, but cannot get Carbon to boot. It's hanging the "Carbon" logo. I've tried the 10/27 and 10/24 builds. If you get it running, let me know what you did.

I did a full wipe (5x), flashed the ROM, gapps, wiped davlik, boot. Maybe I'll try some other Gapps.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] akashpatel:
After the full wipe boot up the rom and while it is stuck on the carbon logo go back to recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache and then boot up again and then it should just boot fine...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] npiper05:
Bam! You rock. Thanks for the help. Excited to try Carbon on my N7. I have had it on my N4 for about three days and love it. Not sure what took me so long to give it a shot. Has all the key features, great speed, and battery life. I've been running the stock kernel on my N4 with not issues, but may try a custom kernel one of these days.

Nick
[Nexus 7 Original Development] npiper05:
Running 10-27 nightly and hidden navbar isn't working in landscape. See picture. The handlebar moves on the screen and gets stuck. Anyone having this issue?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] crookshanks:
I was trying to use the kernel packaged with it. The Carbon team's kernels have been fantastic for me on every device I'va had Carbon on but thank you! Now I'll know to do it if I try a different kernel later.

This worked, thank you. Didn't work the first or second time but it worked eventually.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Just to throw my own experience :

- I took the latest nightly from "download.carbon-rom.com" and downloaded it to my Grouper ;

- rebooted and did a dirty flash (cache + Dalvik only). Result : boots, but "Carbon Fiber has quit"... not really useful then...

- rebooted into Recovery, did a clean install (Factory, Cache, Dalvik) + Zip install + (Cache + Dalvik again)

- rebooted and get stuck to the opening logo

- rebooted into recovery, did as advised : a Cache + Dalvik ;

- rebooted, passed the Logo, get the "Optimising Apps" notice, and then : got stuck on "Starting Apps".

OK, I'm afraid my experience with Carbon will remain here :(

BUT HEY : I started from scratch again : Factory/Cache/Dalvik + Install Carbon from SD Card + Reboot => Stuck into Logo => Recovery + Cache + Dalvik => Reboot : OK !!!! Nice ;)

Will now test this out to see how it works and fits to my needs :)

I have experienced 0 problems flashing other ROM's and I have flashed quite a lot : Slim, AOKP, AICP, LiquidSmooth, Purity, Illusion, Odyssey...

Regards.

NexusPenguin

P.S. : I am not complaining. I know the problem can be related to A LOT of causes : I have installed so many ROMs and Kernels that there might be some hidden files that are not overwritten for some reason and that might explain my bad luck... I must say that I experienced some problems after trying a KitKat custom ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Ya sometimes with this rom I have to boot to safe mode for the first boot but besides that the rom performs great.

Rebooting and wiping caches a few times works but takes more time than safe mode.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cryingmoose:
yeah, Carbon is my favourite rom, but I had to move on because I kept having the booting issue. it would even pop up on a regular reboot
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadiros:
Ya me too. Got sick and tired of messing around every reboot...sometimes I would have to restore an old backup just to use my tablet. Love Carbon but some things been off for awhile with grouper builds.

On a better note, who knows where we can get unofficial KitKat Carbon builds? Just flashed one on my Mako and wonder if there's more ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] neo1691:
Does this rom has features of CM? I want nexus 7 to identify my adhoc connections on my laptop so that I can share the laptop's wired connection with nexus 7 using laptop's wifi. PA and stock rom does not have this feature where as CM has. I flashed PACman rom and this feature was there.

Can anyone please confirm whether or not this rom has this feature or not?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] justen7723:
PA hybrid settings is not on carbon, so you can't change colors of nav/status bar on a per app basis. You would have to install xposed to change DPI on a per app basis.

I tried using stable 1.8 and also the last nightly, and both were laggy for my i9300 (try double tapping on an image to zoom in, and you'll see a lag). Even with the latest stable Boeffla 2.0, the lag still exist.

So, right now I'm back to Carbon stable 1.7 + Boeffla staable 2.0, which is a pretty smooth combo with great battery life. My battery usually drains from 100% -> 90% in 10 hours up with 30 mins. screen on time.
