CarbonRom.org website is down.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zipo16:
I haven't had Bluetooth issues either but after about a week my gapps package items start crashing as well from a clean install. I wonder if the above gapps will work, I can always download the apps I need. anyone having issues with the latest ROM version? I have the one from Nov 2 I

think it is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
I too use the 11/02 version of Carbon Rom.

Noted that the 11/06 nightly was kinda sluggish.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
Car 54 where are you !!!

Been almost a month since last Samsung Infuse Nightly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DE52:
On social media, they stated that they were concentrating on bringing up lollipop. Whether the infuse will get it, I don't know, but we can hope it all works out :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
I hope we get Lollipop on the Samsung Infuse.

Kit Kat has greatly improved my phone.

Have to Google about what's going to be new in Lollipop.

Thanks

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
If you guys do get the 5.0 update you better thank your devs for doing so cause I have been using 5.0 on my S3 which is newer and by the feel and size of the ROM I can tell it will work for the Infuse if your devs put in loads of work I'm sure of it :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vbenkovskyy:
There is no sound from the speaker on any CM11 rom. How to fix this problem?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
I assume the 11/06 Nightly is going to be the last Carbon Rom for the Samsung Infuse.

So, I did a full wipe on my phone and flashed the 11/06.

Then reinstalled all my Apps.

Now I am able to use the USB connection to transfer files.

Still getting the "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" message when

I go to Storage -> USB Connection -> Camera (PTP) or Media device (MTP).

Mass storage (UMS) is checked and cannot be changed.

I dissed 11/06 earlier thinking it was slow - but after full wipe it seems A-OK.

I found this combination working well on my Infuse:

Carbon:	CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141106-1249-infuse4g.zip

GAPPS:	gapps-kk-20141104-minimal-x-plus-edition-gps034-240dpi-signed.zip

GPS v6.0	MapsD_V6.14.4_(With_BLUE_Icon).zip ← MapsD, NavigationD

UCLB3 Phone Modem:	sgh-i997 UCLB3 padded.zip

The above gives me KitKat 4.4.4 with minimal GAPPS, the older GPS, and

a phone modem that seems to be easy on the battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GIL0802:
Im using 11/02 is more stable than 11/06. Try out!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
I was using 11/02, then tried 11/06 without a full wipe and found it very slow.

When I noted no more nightlies I decided to try 11/06 with a full wipe.

Works pretty good so far. Might go back and try 11/02 with a full wipe

to compare the two.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GIL0802:
Now i having problems with 11/02 build, whatsapp+ crashing everytime, and a huge drain battery. I dont know what da heck happen!

Im gonna flash 11/06 to see what happens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
I noted that the modem flash affects battery life.

I settled on the UCLB3 modem.

Another problem I have is the USB connection works after a full wipe, but

fails later. I'm suspecting that one of my Apps is the culprit.

I keep a list of my apps and they are:

Advanced Task Manager

Al Jazeera News

Battery Monitor

Camcorder

Camera

CNN News

Dolphin Browser

DU Speed Booster

File Manager

File Manager FX

Firefox

Gallery

Gmail

Google News and Weather

Google Play services

[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
Discovered that Samba Filesharing app disabled downloading via the USB cable.

Uninstalled Samba and now USB file transfers work.

I had thought that I had tried removing Samba weeks ago. Oh well.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] SirAndroid:
Well, it looks like Infuse Development may be officially dead, as there has not been in a build in over two months. The other threads on the development forum also seem to be absent any updates for quite a while now.

It was a great phone while it lasted, and I do hope someone will be willing to continue development, as the Infuse Hardware is pretty awesome! The thought of these just going into the trash is kind of sad. :( I personally have four of these phones, and I received them when they were released back in 2011. I guess 3.5 years is kind of pushing it with technology these days, especially phones.

Regardless, I do appreciate all the efforts that went into, and will hopefully continue to be put into, the development for the Infuse. Thanks again! :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
I too appreciate all the development effort for the Infuse.

Really enjoy the 11/06/2014 Nightly I am still running on my Infuse phone.

This shows that there are more than one who enjoy the Carbon updates.

Wondering if any further development will continue, also wondering if

another phone model's nightly will work?????

Carl
[Samsung Infuse 4G] yogi.306:
wait guys, i m 100% sure we will see Lollipop too

Dont declare it dead, till our developers are here at XDA,

they do remember the Thread they started and i am 100 % sure we will abe able to see Android 5 on infuse in some days.

Its still alive till our hope.....

Yes, Great respects to all developers worked for infuse ROMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DE52:
Actually, there hasn't been any new announcements on carbon G+ or on their website for a while now, so lollipop isn't ready for any device. I'd still wait it out although it's tough not to give up. At the same time, I just checked their gerrit and it seems to be down or having an issue, so can't check progress either. Not sure if they were even at the point of getting lollipop running on most devices, and consider the fact that CM just recently released their nightlies which are still incomplete and they're a way bigger team. Even paranoid android hasn't released their lollipop ROM yet. So for carbon not to have updated anything yet doesn't seem so farfetched in my opinion. We gotta stay realistic and keep our :fingers-crossed:

Rant:

Personally, I have newer devices (was getting tired of the datadata issue and also wanted new toys :p), but I still love this one just as much! It's a great phone for its age and it's amazing to see what this thing can do with a 1/8 of the horsepower of new phones (only has one core clocked at 1/2 the GHz of newer phones). In fact, I sold it to a friend that loves to tinker as much as me because he needed a phone and I knew this one wouldn't let him down (he doesn't mind having a low-budget phone for now until he can get better income) and that he'd take care of it. The only reason I'm still around is because I'm curious to see just how far this thing will go! Anyways, rant over and just stay :cool: guys, something may come up, who knows, but we still have a long wait...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cwmoser:
I assume Kit Kat development for the Infuse has stopped.

You do indicate that there might be hope with a Lollipop version.

I did see a report that Lollipop has problems and not many

devices are actually running Lollipop.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DE52:
I've assumed the same. If you go into the download folder of random devices (I just looked at bacon (1+1) and hammerhead(nexus 5)) then you'll notice their nightlies also stopped in november (which is when the team announced they'd start working on lollipop). So, seems like they indeed did move on from kit kat for now or indefinitely unless they were planning to make a stable version.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
Don't give up in the good old i997 just yet... There is hope.

My only caveat is memory and getting zram and a decent swap file in 100% working order.

Remember, KitKat wants 512 minimum, and we really only have 500 available. If LP wants more ram, we're out of luck.

Also, discarding the useless /datadata partition and regaining that now unused storage will be a definite plus.

I'm running the last CM11 without any datadata partition and, for all intents and purposes, it runs smooth and I haven't had to wipe anything except the cache for almost 3 solid months.

Hello

I need your support because I can´t install the rom but it´s not clear for me the reason

I already did the next activity without problem

1.	Root the phone

2.	I installed Recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-infuse(I don’t know if this is the last version but according with the update process I didn’t find another one)

I tried to install the room but I can´t do it because when I’m doing the process of install from Zip I received the next message

	error flashing rom status 0 infuse 4g (Installation aborted)

Honesty speaking I don’t know.

I tried to install another rom but the same error message and put the file directly in the location, etc. but the same result please help my does anybody have any idea about this problem

Thanks for your support
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GIL0802:
Try to install the latest version of TWRP Recovey or the latest of CWM and it should be OK.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrkhigh:
This device is an odd duck. You need to install ICS then jb then kitkat.

Read the cm11 instructions and follow them.

PS you need an xposed module for Netflix. Google xposed Netflix pastordl
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
andros11;

Is there any possible way that you could disable the /datadata partition as Vaughn did for CM11?

That would hold us over for at least a little while until partition info could be revamped.

I'm seeing reports of minimalist installs of lollipop exceeding 850mb, and I'm sure if things get moved around properly we could get around 1gb for system.

I didn't expect much from this lowly single core hummingbird when entropy brought up CM9, but somehow it keeps surviving.

Well, maybe not this time around...

Anything on this?

I'd really like to use Carbon as a personal preference, but the /datadata issue keeps me on cm11.

I having problems with WhatsApp using this ROM Carbon 11/06.

It crashed everyday and i loose all of my receive and sended messages since last automatic backup that happens at 4AM. I sended feedback to WhatsApp and i did everything they told me to do and it's still crashing. The last log i sended to WhatsApp Support, they told me that they don't support Custom ROM (yes, after all this time helping me out) and the problem could be with the ROM.

So, this is my last chance to fix this issue. Figure out how to fix this because i'm too tired to loose my messages everyday, i don't like it and i don't want to.

Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
For anyone who's interested, and me when I inevitably forget again, here's a mini review/rundown on the three 'big' ROMs for this phone (Unofficial CM11, Beanstalk and Carbon):

Beanstalk seems to be the fastest, as well as unaffected by the Google Framework Wakelock issue, but it's idle battery drain is close to that of the Wakelock issue (7%/hr while idle, vs 10%/hr with wakelock).

Unofficial CM11 (Latest) has the Wakelock issue, but can be completely disabled by using the Privacy Guard/App ops. However, the phone slows down significantly a few apps are in the background.

CarbonRom (Mirrors) has the Wakelock issue, and does not provide a full Privacy Guard/App ops (Missing Keep Awake and Wake options) to disable. Using Autostarts fixes this issue, but requires re-enable/disable after reboot.

Weighing all the issues, I think I'm going back to CarbonRom for it's speed and battery.

I have created a patched Framework-res.apk file to fix the Google Play SystemUpdateService wakelock: http://www.mediafire.com/download/secejlcvbjrjxgp/Infuse4G_Carbon_20141102_Framework-res_fix.zip -- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Reset ALL your disabled services (remove the disable apps if you can) Boot into recovery, flash the zip file, wipe your Cache and Dalvik, then reboot.

Thanks to Calkulin and ocd_amp for the information on how to do this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Disable Service app (found on Google play), re-enabling SystemUpdateService under Google Play Services did the trick for my device/build.

I have a couple pull requests in to CarbonDev's GitHub to fix the problem (using CM's change code) a bit more widely, that is, abolish the problem until Google FUBAR's Play Services again (verified with my HTC once I tired of the Disable Service fix). So if [MENTION=5197177]CarbonDev[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4632688]andros11[/MENTION] is willing to do another build for you guys, best to wait until those to pull requests (android_vendor_carbon and android_frameworks_base) are merged.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
not sure if this has been fixed yet or not, but Carbon's App Ops (under Privacy Guard) is "incomplete" and is missing some options (like Wake Up), which would have solved the wakelock issue without using additional apps. If it hasn't, a request for that too would be appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Yeah, it's still incomplete, as of last week, and there hasn't been any activity on their GitHub since then (except me trying to merge CM's fix to the larger GMS issue).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
[MENTION=4632688]andros11[/MENTION],

Would I be stepping on anyone's toes if I tried a build of Infuse4g CarbonROM and posted in in this thread? It would be to disable the /datadata partition and fix Google Play Services wakelock.

The Infuse4g device tree lists the dependencies needed to build the device, and it looks pretty straightforward. The trick is that I sold my Infuse almost a year ago so I will be building blindly. But I have little problem with that.

I just see potential issue with adding a post of my ROM (if it gets built) on CarbonDev's thread. I could make a new thread, but that just adds clutter and may not get seen.

Looking for any advice on that...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
Personally, I would love to see an updated version. And given that there's been no updates for this in well over a year, I think as long as you're not claiming credit I don't think anyone would mind. If you do release, it you should label it as "Unofficial" just to be safe. Vaughn did something similar with unofficial CM for the Infuse and I didn't see anyone complain, just the opposite in fact, since it was a much needed and improved update, same as this would be I think.

I am by no means a voice of authority on the matter, so don't take what I say as anything more than a regular users' observations.

Late edit:

Also, I don't know if its possible, but what about F2FS support? Its been popping up on in the Nook forums for the 4.3 ROMs, supposedly it improves performance, which I think we all agree the Infuse is in dire need of. :D

Also, what about ART? Do you know if that has been fixed since the last release of this ROM? I have not been able to get ART to stick, after reboot it goes right back to Dalvik.

Thanks Joel for showng some renewed interest in this device :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
Previous version of Carbon (2014-11-02) my phone had been sitting (mostly) idle for (approximately) 20 minutes, so I've grabbed screenshots for a comparison:

Can't complain about the battery usage! Around a second after I took the screenshots the battery dropped to 99%. 2014-11-02 has very good idle battery usage, once the Framework.res wakelock fix is applied.

Unofficial Carbon (2015-05-28) by joel.maxuel:

Home Screen & ART enabled:

Fresh install battery stats:

Slightly worse than previous, though JUST barely. Probably due to Pocket Mode. 20 minutes really isn't a good baseline, but does show that the Wakelock is fixed.

[MENTION=5720423]joel.maxuel[/MENTION] Please feel free to use the screenshots provided for anything you need.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Because I am not on a fresh page? I can always leapfrog ahead ... :cowboy:

By the way, links are up for my build of CarbonROM (not to be confused with the official one).

Enjoy, and someone let me know the outcome!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
I've done a full wipe (everything but /storage/*), installed the ROM and gApps, and it successfully booted. Congratulations and thank you Joel!

I will be adding more to this post as I get there, currently going through the set up.

Things seem OK from the little use I've had with it.

ART works :D, Wakelock is gone, Privacy Guard/App Ops is still missing features.

Restored my Data, and now the settings are not working. Going to wipe my System and reinstall ROM/gApps. It just does not like having old data. But given how snappy this ROM feels even under Dalvik, I don't think I'm going to worry too much. It sucks that I'll have to wait a few days to restore all my apps (stupid bandwidth cap), but it seems well worth it. Especially since I can use ART now.

There may be a way restore data from previous versions, my guess would be deleting specific files/folders, but I could not find anything that worked. I deleted a few folders that seemed related to the system (/data/data, /data/local, /data/system, and /data/user) but none of them fixed the issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GIL0802:
I'm a little lost with this Wakelock issue. I think my Infuse doesn't have that problem. How i know i have it ?

In other matter, Do you think you can build CarbonLP for our devices ? That would be awesome!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
There's an issue with the official versions of this ROM (and other ROMs) where Google Play Services will prevent your phone from going into sleep mode. On the Battery History, the Awake bar will be solid. If you don't have gApps (Google Play Store and such) installed, you will not be affected by it.

The new, unofficial build by Joel has the issue fixed, as well as being updated. So far it seems quite a bit faster, as well as having a working ART which should speed things up in apps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Will do, thanks.

What happened to the google search bar? Was it there originally, or was it gone entirely from Launcher3? I asked because my sister ROM has the decorations missing and I was curious if it will happen somewhere else.

Pocket mode probably has something to do with it. If you had ART on by then, that would play a part as well (read somewhere that if you want the best battery life from KItKat, don't use ART).

I would like to add those screenshots to the ROM post if that's okay - looks like you just answered my question above ;).

I didn't suspect AppOps will have all the features now. With regard to the restoring data, I think recovery is still using the /datadata partition, (mostly because the last backup relied on it), so your app settings are going to an unused spot. I can adjust my guide accordingly, that that will happen.

Deleting those folders will probably work at a disadvantage to you, especially if Android doesn't recreate them.

You could move them around while i recovery and doing an adb shell. Just mount the /datadata partition somewhere else and copy (tar, untar) from /datadata to /data/data. That may do the trick.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
No search bar after a clean install (with or without gApps).

I do get a search bar after restoring /Data though.

Can't access adb (for some reason my computer, two different mobos, two different OS' each) refuses to allow me to connect via USB. And the recovery on the infuse doesn't have a whole lot of of options.

Also after restoring, I don't have a /datadata folder, but this and the above did give me an idea of something to try. Back up a fresh copy of /data, restore my old data, and let the fresh copy overwrite the files Did not work, same issue. Oh well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Interesting. Maybe persistent was turned off for whatever reason. Were the decorations (Google logo and Microphone) there?

Yeah, recovery may not be new enough for that feature. What you could do, (if you get stuck) scarily (because I don't know how the system will react), is do the same in system that you would have done in adb (mount /datadata to a random folder, and copy everything out to where it should go).

The safer route is revert to your old setup long enough to Titanium Backup all your apps and then restore them on the new.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
The search bar did have the Google logo, and I think it did have the mic. I'll try it again and grab a screenshot this time lol.

http://i.imgur.com/BOj7F0c.png (my backup is still good :D)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GIL0802:
So, What you mean by data/data partition disable ? What does it means ? I always backup just Google Settings about Wifi, Contacts and that's it. Data/data affects this ?

I'm asking this because i just use some Google Apps like Keep, Calendar, Gmail, Social Apps like Instagram and Facebook and Messasing Apps. I want it to know what could happen .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
Please don't quote large posts, or if you have to, cut things that aren't relative to your post.

To answer your question... From what I am to understand, the /datadata was a partition that used up space more or less needlessly. By moving /datadata to the /data/data (../data folder, on the /data partition) you combine two partitions into one larger one to prevent one partition from filling up before the other.

Probably a bad analogy, but again, this is how I understand it. If you have two 10oz cups (partitions), one has 6oz (app data) and the other 10oz, you can't add more to either cup because one is full. By disabling /datadata, you now have one 20oz cup with 6oz + 10oz, and you can add up to 4oz more.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GIL0802:
Sorry i didn't knew how to. :rolleyes:

So, i will not have problems with installing Apps from PlayStore ? So i can flash this build without problem.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twiztid_:
I've been using it all day with no real issues*. Overall it feels significantly faster than the 2014-11-02 official build, and my previous install was fairly fresh, less than two weeks. Play Store has worked as expected, once you install gApps.

I turned on ART to get a feel for it, and while I haven't given it a fair chance yet, I'm not too sure I like it all that much. Things take longer to install and start up, but there is an overall speed improvement over the previous version, so 2014-11-02 Dalvik vs 2015-05-28 ART is pretty even. ART is something I want to give a better look because I've read about the benefits, but if there is no real world improvement on my phone I'll go back to Dalvik.

* I think I found a small issue, where Carbon is checking for updates repeatedly, but that may have just been ONE time that the notification keeps popping up. I'll keep an eye on it. You can always disable the update check by removing the WiFi/Ethernet update networks. I should have mentioned that most Unofficial builds disable auto-update/update checks.
