Hi,

After being impressed by carbon on mako, i decided to flash over my grouper too. I always do a full wipe including /system. Tried three different nightlies. Bootloops every time. Even tried flashing just the rom without gapps,with gapps and also without a kernel.

I badly want to get this working. :( any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No bootloop for me with flashing over a nightly and flashing after full wipe on 07-09...

what else u guys flashing? u got multi rom installed? recovery? logcat?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
When coming from a different ROM and doing a full wipe is my personal advice to flash a stable. first an then the nightly. Don't forget gapps

Multirom is not an issue Matt. I've always been on it and I find it to be an advantage rather than an obstacle or potential risk.

Hey, so i flashed the stable one, works fine. Then,I flashed a nightly(tried dirty and clean), still stuck with the same problem. (I want halo! :( )

Which kernel do you use?

Franco's. R62

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
I don't think this is the culprit but just before your first post, there is another bootlooping with Franco here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43333636i have never had a single bootloop or anything close to it with this rom or for that sake, with any other in my two N7s.

This is my setup:

-latest bootloader always

-Latest TWRP modded for multirom. Standard TWRP works as well

-Factory reset, wipe caches and format system

-Flash ROM

-Flash standard GAPPs

-Flash Faux 20m Kernel

-just in my case, here is where I flash the multirom zip

-boot system

I've used most Kernels except for Franco and it's tweaked ram disk. My choice for testing purposes is Motley. Daily driver being Faux

I suggest you flash and boot with Faux reset kernel just to make sure you start with a stock boot. IMG. Then you can flash the kernel of your choice.

Good luck

Your not the only one having an issue. I can't get the latest nightly to boot for the life of me. Full wipe install only the Rom, no gapps or custom kernel. Flash, let it sit and try boot and it won't.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] davy917:
Same issue here.. Stuck on boot ani. I even went back to stock and re-rooted

Wow guys. The suggestion by ricardo fixed my problem. I had to flash back to stock kernel,from franco and it booted immediately.

Did a full wipe and Chen install yesterday and got stuck on boot ani, rebooting didn't help. So I did another full wipe and install and it worked fine. Thanks for an awesome ROM, carbon had come a long way since I last used it on my GS3

I'm loving halo from PA with the extra customizing offered by AOKP, but I'm curious if there are any plans for adding the hybrid properties from PA too?

Also noticed that carbon seems to use considerably less RAM than AOKP or PA, like A LOT less.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Just picked up an N7 today. Carbon has been my daily on my Note 2, so I'm glad to be able to load it up first on my new tab.

Does anyone have issues applying themes? When I do, systemui force closes but restarts automatically. Then when I reboot, I boot loop.

I've tried with different themes, it happened with different themes. I did do a full wipe recently, since the change to the theme engine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jedimindtrick25:
Ok i got a little overzealous and attempted a clean flash the same way that I do so with my phone, which is to say I do a clean wipe and format. On my phone, I store my roms and backups on an sd card to prevent what ended up happening here.

I wioed everything on the N7 so now have nothing to install. I can still move around in recovery well enough (TWRP) and have the ROM downloaded to computer. What am having a problem with is figuring out just how to get the ROM from computer to the N7 to install.

Advice?

Oh and I am sorry if this is in a misplaced area forum, i have done a fair amount of reading and research but cant seem to find exact answer I am looking for. Since I am using this ROM, it at least seemed like a good place to start.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cryingmoose:
that happened to me once lol. I ended up using one of n7 root apps to recover stock, and started over from the beginning
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jedimindtrick25:
Not a bad idea... Can u point me in a direction. I say one but it looked like i had to use fastboot and was hoping to do a simple flash if possible...

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jlvlawrence:
Since you've come this far, you might as well flash a factory image. Use the wugfresh toolkit if you don't wanna use fastboot.

Easiest thing to do is mount a USB stick in TWRP with the room in it. You can flash directly from the mounted USB drive. Very handy.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
That's what I was going to suggest, also if you don't have an OTG cable you could use ADB to push the rom's zip.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VanillaG0rilla:
Anyone stuck at boot screen on 7/18 nightly? I thought it was a theme causing it but it's happening on a clean install too.

I've installed few times this rom and I've got bootloop on carbon rom! Without gapps rom sometimes boot. I use official google 4.2.2 gappd
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
I have heard of these boot loops but cannot reproduce them myself... Are you flashing a kernel or anything after? Did u do a full wipe, maybe format the system? Are you using multi rom? Maybe a log cat will help us?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CreepyE:
Install an old nightly after a fresh wipe, then gapps, let it boot, then flash the latest nightly over the first one
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Phonerix:
It works :D

Flash without wipe

Boot

Full wipe

Install

Boot

Works :D

btw. awesome rom :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] M3drvr:
I have the opposite. Without flashing gapps, this Rom will not boot for me. Once I flash gapps it will boot 50% of the time. After flashing faux kernel it boots everytime. Very weird.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dark Jedi:
Still using 07/07 build and still running smooth. Just about the best ROM I found for the n7.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] crypticc:
I did this. Same here. It's probably there somewhere just in a different sdcard location. Browse /storage and /mnt while in recovery
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Phonerix:
You're right. This rom is the best but ram consumption is too big, but battery life is excellent :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CharliesTheMan:
The RAM consumption of the rom is not a negative thing as far as usage, efficiency, and performance.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Clean flash works fine for me.

How can I enable tablet mode though? The toggle doesn't do anything.

Doesn't do anything on my note 2 either to be honest but I thought that might be because it's a phone.

Never mind... Reboot fixed it :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nuke235:
I might be going stupid or something.

But where did the cLock (chronus) settings get moved to?

They used to be in Settings > Carbon > Lockscreen > Clock Widget

The only way I can see to bring them up is create a widget on the homescreen. Then change the settings and remove it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:
Settings > Carbon > Interface > Clock Widget - We had to move it as we use the AOKP lockscreen style... Sorry for the inconvience :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nuke235:
Its probably more my fault for sticking with such an old version of carbon on my phone. I got used to where everything is.

Kinda waiting patiently for carbon 1.8 to come out before I refresh my phone.

1.8 is out! Thank you all devs for your effort!

http://goo.im/devs/carbon/grouper/release

Had a hard time making the last 3-4 nightlies boot on a clean install.

In the end I got the 27th boot by also flashing GAPPS before booting for the very 1st time.

I'm trying to do the same on 1.8 but no luck so far. Any ideas?

I'm using the latest TWRP 2.6.0.0

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VanillaG0rilla:
I had the same issues with the nightlies. I did a clean flash with 7/27s nightly then dirty fllashed 7/27 since I got stuck at the apps loading screen. I just dirty flashed 1.8 with no issues.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] s0ulreaver:
Can't seem to make it work this time.

It always stays on the Carbon logo, doesn't finish booting.

Does anyone know a way to do a clean install? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VanillaG0rilla:
Do a factory reset in recovery, make a backup first tho, then flash the rom and gapps. I'd go with 1.8 instead of a nightly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
Just flashed 1.8 over 7-27 and the tablet does not boot anymore. Tried refreshing, 7-27again and seems that the installation is damaged. Would have to clean install 1.8 which I am not willing to do right now, so will be back when 4.3 is ready.

So long

[Nexus 7 Original Development] s0ulreaver:
I did as you said v1.8, it doesn't boot, just stays at the Carbon logo.

I did a test also flashing GAPPS right before booting or not and it didn't change anything.

The source file is ok, not corrupted.

I can install any other ROMs but this one.

I just finish testing with CM10.2, it loads fine.

Sorry to hear you also have problems but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Just take a backup with TiBu, then do a factory reset, flash the ROM, and restore everything EXCEPT the /system data. Carry over the app data, but do not restore the system data.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
I've been having problems with the latest builds. 7-27had to be reflashed every time I wanted to reboot, 7-27 does not boot on a clean install, 1.8 messed it all up, so I am putting Carbon aside for a while.

I am sorry for it because it is a great rom. I understand the effort required to support a growing number of devices but..

I had some issues also. Did a full wipe as instructed from 1.7 to 1.8. Got stuck on the boot animation.

Wiped again and reinstalled and everything booted fine after.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] annoyingduck:
This booting issue has been happening in Slims "7" builds. What we've been doing to get the tablet to boot is a full clean flash of the rom, flash gapps, boot tablet. Once the logo appears and just hangs, hold volume down and power, which will soft boot you into fastboot mode. Choose to boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, boot device. It then will go into the android is upgrading sequence after the boot animation and it will boot up as it should.

Try that for carbon...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] amf100:
Same GAPPS with 1.8, or is there a new one?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mattmanwrx:

Maybe try what annoyingduck has suggested, but im not too sure, sorry...

You always need to flash gapps with an aosp based rom. You can get the official 4.3 gapps from goo.im.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] webdroidmt:
Probably due to an fstab issue in the kernel's ramdisk. Just install another 4.3 kernel like M kernel a61 and storage will not FC and work properly, including native USB OTG.

So far, this rom running well.

EDIT: Although I use phablet ui, just noticed there was no tab ui option...unless I just couldn't find it. LOL

Can we dirty flash a 4.3 nightly over 1.8?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cajunflavoredbob:
1.8 was Android 4.2. Backup all your apps with TiBu, then wipe everything. Install the fresh, new nightly and restore your apps with their data from TiBu. DO NOT restore any system data that you had on 1.8. App data is fine to carry over, but never carry over any system data to new Android versions.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] raikol:
AOSP keyboard f/c repeatedly after installing Gapps. Fresh install with all wipes.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] nuke235:
I was running the 20130815 nightly for a bit and it seems pretty smooth.

I love this rom on my GS3. Excellent battery life and as stable as stock.

However PIE is the biggest feature I use, I loath the NavBar on the nexus, I'm going to stay on stock 4.3 for a bit but as soon as Pie get added Ill be back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Why not just use LMT? On the 8/15 nightly I had to use the status bar quick toggle to activate Halo, when trying to activate from settings I just get a force close.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nuke235:
Not a big fan of Pie clones and I kind of want to try out stock android for a bit since I've been running custom since day 1

However Like I said I had the latest nightly for a few hours and it seemed pretty solid.

The only issue I noticed is for example if you went into 'Settings -> Carbon Fiber' then tried to use the back button in the upper left corner nothing would happen. I had to use the back button in the NavBar.

Otherwise Solid.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] webdroidmt:
I don't use Halo but confirming that it FCs. In the changelog for 8/16 nightly it says A few minor changes to Halo, don't know if that will fix FC or not???

I LOVE THIS ROM...i applied tabletizer and the xperience kernel and its effin awesome. only problem is that it doesnt seem to be charging??

on the latest nightly and encountered this issue. please resolve.

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

update:

its charging but at a very slow rate, 1% every 5-10 minutes.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] webdroidmt:
Not seeing that here. I've noticed that on all the 4.3 roms I've tried or used, charging rate can vary...sometimes faster, sometimes slower. After reading your post I just charged up to test and it went from 94% to 97% in about 7minutes.

Charging is generally dependent on the kernel and on this rom I've tried stock, M Kernel and Lean with no apparent charging issues. Oddly enough, I settled on the stock kernel as it's quick enough and gives me really nice battery life. Of course, YMMV depending on usage.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] nuke235:
After flashing 4.3 stock I realized how much I needed the features in carbon.

However I tried flashing back to Carbon 1.8 but got stuck in a bootloop. I had a twrp backup of stock 4.3 that I flashed to get out of the bootloop.

Is there anything I should do to go back to Carbon 1.8 from stock Android 4.3?

Sorry if this is a stupid question or has already been answered...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] webdroidmt:
No, I have not experienced those issues on the 8/15 build. I've had the N7 on and off since I flashed 8/15 yesterday and the only issue of any consequence was a soft reboot caused by a module in Xposed Framework.

Of course, Halo FCs in settings but that's a known issue and there's already a commit for that, so it should be fixed in the next nightly. Although it's been only about a day and a half, so far I'm finding this rom to be pretty darn stable. I don't know how you installed it but I installed it over MoKee Cm 10.2 with just a system wipe to get rid of any junk hanging around and then wiping cache/dalvik, no factory reset and it's running great.

I also flashed just the 4.3 core gapps from Banks, not any full gapps. Hope you get it sorted out.
