Hello Everyone, I have been using Carbon Rom for my Evo LTE for quite some time now, and have loved it.

When I saw a build for KitKat, I had to try it.

So far it is great, there are some customization features missing, but i know that this is an early build, and they will come eventually. Also, I haven't found anything to be seriously broken but I cannot install the XDA developers app. every time I try, I get this message: "Cant install to usb storage or sd card"

I do not have this problem with any other app, just XDA.

Has anyone else had this issue? I searched this thread for the error, but saw no mention of it.

Love the Rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
This was an issue with early CM11 builds but they've since been fixed in the latest build. Carbon hasn't been updates with those fixes. Basically the error happens when play store tries to download app to the phone storage instead of internal storage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] silentstryder:
Thanks for the info. I searched around and found a workaround. I connected my phone to my computer and turned on USB storage, then installed the app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
From CM11 thread, Captain_Throwback gave out this fix for app installation issues here

Flashing the file in this post through fastboot fixed the issue for me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Just throwing this out there. Development has not stopped here. That is all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Oh, telling tales out of school noe, huh? I'm guessing you'll share? ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] almony8:
Looking forward to more carbon, this ROM is awesome and has the best features in my opinion. I will be keeping an eye on this thread for sure. Thanks to all involved in any way.

Anyone able to wifi tether with this rom? I've tried barnacle and wifi tether trevE Mod.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
It worked for me when I was running this. There are some settings you have to change in order for it to work on most aosp roms. Do a search and you should be able to find what you need.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
+1. I used trev's. You have to set it up. Pm me if you need to and I'll look up my settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
The native tethering has always worked for me on all aosp ROMs right as it is. Never had to change any settings ever
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henderjr:
DOH. Native works fine! I think I forgot about native after my previous rom had WiFi Tether TrevE Mod packaged in so that's what I used. My bad! :eek:

Data Connection

First of all the is a great ROM for the EVO LTE 4G. Mad props to the developer and others who helped put this together.

I have searched and searched to find a fix for the data connection and internet random loss. I have this problem with loss connectivity about 3 times a day.

During the install of this rom I had to switch to CWM from TWRP because I kept getting the MD5 error, I don't know if that has something to do with the data connection. I came from the Anonymous rom 4.1.1 and did do a full wipe including factory restore and clearing both caches. Also I made sure to skip the activation when that popped up.

I have tried captain's APN fix, no luck.

I have read the info from this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2348361, my RIL did not match any of those so I did not flash any of these.

Does anyone know of a fix that might help? I really want to keep using this rom but I cant keep restarting my phone in order to get the data connection working.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ADM818:
Data connection is a problem on all 4.4 roms. You don't have to restart your phone just toggle data on and off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cluenino:
I thought there was a fix for it. Thanks for the info.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iskyi:
If possible can someone provide some assistance in flashing the 4.3 version of this rom? I usually do a full wipe and then flash the rom, gapp, then do a reboot. Is there a different way than the one I would use? Maybe one that is specific for the 4.3 version ? Thanks in advance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
Does the custom kitkat twrp have to be used to flash this..?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Yes. The 4.4 roms require the SELinux in Deck's recovery. That's what I heard at least. No reason not to upgrade twrp though, most recent roms (4.3 included) flash just fine with it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kDAVR:
Also having this issue, as well as sound ceasing to work on everything (Notifications, youtube, facebook, etc.) except Google Play Music.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henderjr:
I've had issues with sounds not working right. This was my issue. Something got messed up with linking ringtone and notification volume. So go to settings, sound, and uncheck that link ringtone & notifications volumes checkbox. It'll then display both volumes separately and they weren't in sync. Rechecking it gets them back in sync if I remember right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kDAVR:
Tried what you said and no luck. I would mind so much if it was just the ringer, usually set to silent anyway. However the lack of sound from YouTube and other apps other than Google music and power amp is weird.

Sent from my EVO LTE running Carbon 4.4.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henderjr:
Yeah very weird. Sorry I'm not more help. I've been on this rom since 12-9 and haven't had any other sound issues. Issue's I have are the short code sms bug, losing data once and a while and having to toggle airplane to get it back, and the occasional lockup. Really miss s2w but this was the only rom I found that had the right BT drivers to work with my fitbit and the modified app here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2492436. Though I haven't taken the time to try any other 4.4.x roms.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kDAVR:
Its all good, I may have figured out what causes it for me. Happens every time after I use GPMusic or power amp. I just reboot and its back. Same problem with short codes SMS, but I don't do it enough for it to be an issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cluenino:
Link is dead, will you reload it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
Is the twrp in decks thread or the one in the second post in omni thread the right one for 4.4? If so I keep getting this weird continuous boot cycle until I restore an older romantic. Any ideas

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaumerS4:
I tried this ROM for the first time this week, but occasionally the phone won't come back from being locked. I hit the power button and the buttons light up, but the screen doesn't respond/turn on. When this happens I can sometimes get it to work again after repeatedly hitting the power button, but other times I have to turn the phone off via long pressing the power button. Even this only works short term, because I've had it repeat this error the first time I turn the screen off again after it reboots. I've seen this issue on the CM10 based DU ROM too. Has anyone else experienced this? It doesn't happen when I go back to something Sense based.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Yeah, it's a known "issue" I believe. Some kernel adjustments and different governors can help, but it's plagued my phone no I matter what I do. Holding the power button down for a bit longer almost always works for me though. You get used to it, but when I'm on a Sense ROM I remember what it's supposed to be like and it's hard back on AOSP for the first few days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaumerS4:
What kernel adjustments/different governors have you found that have helped at all? I really want to stay on AOSP, but I also like to able to turn my screen on too. Is this something to expect on any AOSP ROM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
I've heard raising the screen off frequency could help, changing the governor to interactive may also. Hard for me to tell if I ever got actual results or just placebo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I use interactive all the time and from experience, it doesn't help. Raising screen off frequency helps a tiny bit, but lag is still noticeable.

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Not all builds do that. Since did a while back and current ones do but is not consistently been a thing. You def don't have to simulate a battery pull. You're just hitting the button too many times and confusing the phone and yourself. Press it twice more deliberately after the first press doesn't work and wait a sec. It will come on. Alternatively, make sure status bar brightness slider is active and touch where the status bar should be when it lags like that and the screen should come right on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] meeklo062704:
I'm loving the ROM so far, but I'm having a WiFi issue. It disconnects on it's own, and doesn't always reconnect manually let alone automatically. I did a quick search in the thread, but couldn't find the specific issue. Is there a fix for this, or a setting I can tweak? I work at home, so I'm always on WiFi.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Sorry. It's a somewhat common problem. No fix save for a different brand router may or may not help. Maybe a different rom is an aosp thing. 4.4 seems to have fixed it on my end. I have a 2 wrote and a netgear. The 2wire did that to me on 4. 3 roms. another user could connect to his 2wire and not his netgear.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
If you are using a secured WiFi, try changing your security. I recommend WPA, since it's worked for me relatively well. WPA2 and others have given me issues in the past. Or do as Adam says. This does seem to be a recurring problem across aosp roms.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] meeklo062704:
I've had it happen on 2 different aosp ROMs. Which is a shame because they're so snappy and smooth. I have a 2wire too, the one I got from Uverse.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
"do as Adam says" that has quite a nice ring to it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I had nothing but problems with my u verse router. I went to Walmart and bought a $30 belkin and never had another issue. You can connect it along side of your u verse router without any issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
this rom has been working great for me for the last couple of weeks minus the lag with the power button. I`m just missing the ribbons from customizing this. also it has been working great with tasker auto apps and themer. great job.

Yes I know but this is all I see in location

Change to high accuracy mode and try again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
Just tried still didn't work I'm going to go back to a sense ROM try and get a lock then come back to this ROM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Sometimes it helps to use a third party app to clear agps data then get a lock in sense, then flash back to aosp.

Seems to be a recurring thing with htc/aosp, every now and then it just gets wonky and that procedure generally fixes it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
OP Updated, read the changelog before flashing. This update is for those that are on the new partitions from the official 4.13 HTC update.

I may or may not build for the old lay out.

I have found no bugs so far, report back as per instructions in post 2.

thx and enjoy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Brilliant. Downloading this to try :).

Funny you mention that, I was considering revisiting it. This update from HTC brought us 4.3 proprietary blobs and being that SKA was 4.3, I think it would be nice to see how they run together. No promises on that, I barely find the initiative to turn my PC on most days. I've been enjoying all the activity and development going on with the lte. It's nice to run great work.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gnatnog:
This rom is awesome. I'm having a strange issue though and i'm wondering if i'm the only one. Search is down, but I haven't seen it mentioned in the forum pages here or on the firmware page. My phone claims to be on digital roaming, even when it isn't. The quick settings and pull down screen both say digital roaming and in phone status the network says digital roaming. However the status also says not roaming and the mobile network state as disconnected. I have roaming turned off even. Any idea what is going on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Its a known cm issue. If you use the signal check app, you will see that your phone isn't actually roaming and you have data but the phone will show roaming.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gnatnog:
Ah, I see that now. Thanks for the help, sorry to bother over a known issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
This is an issue with the jewel on 4.4 from upstream in the CM source. Don't worry, your not roaming. Hopefully this will get sorted soon.

I believe you would be safe to turn roaming back on, just in case you go out of area and need to roam.

Otherwise pay it no mind, it's currently a bug of false reporting we have on the jewel.

I may have over simplified that answer hopefully you get the gist. Glad you like the Rom, Carbon Dev team does great work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
I have a quick question. I have tried reading the thread, but there are 176 pages, so I just read the last 10. What exactly needs to be done to flash this? From what I understand, I need to do as stated in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639180 and get that running, then flash the recovery in decks cm11 thread (or omni) with the SELlinux and then I can flash this rom. Is that correct? I just want to make sure I am not going to mess anything up by doing something incorrectly. Thanks! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
You're half way there. Do your firmware update etc. But don't use Deck' recovery, use captain's. Decks doesn't support the new partition that comes from updating, but Captain's does.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
Where can I get captains recovery from? The one in the thread I linked to in the previous post?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Yes. It should be in his third post, called recovery only.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
In the OP, or maybe 3rd post of captains thread for sense 5 4.3 update on the same page as this thread.

Edit- I guess we were typing at the same time. Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] memekmek:
I tried all the aosp roms for the new updated partition, carbon by far was the best for me. It had the most customization and amazing stability, plus it was lightning fast. However I still couldnt get bluetooth keyboard to work and I rely heavily on that :(, I know its a cm issue because its across the board on all the aosp roms
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I also ran with Carbon for a day, but I couldn't get it to connect to my work WiFi network, and I'm in a low-signal area so I don't want my radios sapping my battery. I could connect at home, so maybe it's a difference in security. I made a nandroid before going back to Sense 5.5, so I might try to get it going again later if I have a few minutes. I like Carbon overall.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brad_J:
Have a question guys:

I'm running Carbon on my s-off evo 4g lte, a few versions old. I want to install the latest RUU from sprint with the new partitions. I can't seem to get my computer to see my phone as a phone, just a USB mass storage device. So no-go on the RUU seeing the phone. With all the Carbon USB connectivity issues, do I have to flash another ROM so I can get the computer to recognize my phone correctly?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yes. You really should use a pretty much stock sense ROM before running RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I had to flash stock ROM and drivers to get my phone recognized. Seconded what Scott says.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Can anyone get Adfree to stick?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
Hey Gang,

With the new partition format being public now, is this how roms are going to be? I'm trying to decide if I should switch to the new format or stay where I'm at. I don't want to be stuck not being able to use a rom because it's using the new partitions and i'm not. I'm on DirtyRacun HB 2.09.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
Captain said in a post a little while ago that he doesn't think that CM will ever officially be updated to work with the new partition layout. Personally I wish all roms would be updated to work with it because I like it a lot better, but that's just me. So if you want to run CM11, I would stick with the old layout for now. It doesn't really affect me too much because I will probably just stick with carbon, but if you like to switch roms often, this new layout is going to be a major pain to deal with.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
I guess the new partition layout somehow makes more sense? That's what I'm worried about is going back of i need to. Otherwise I'm five with upgrading. Could an old ruu put it back or is there some conflict?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
You can run the official RUU from HTC or you could run VipeRUU. I think you have to be S-Off to run VipeRUU though. But they have both been confirmed to work and bring you back to the old layout. I just like the new layout because instead of only having say 2gb for apps, I can use 4 now. Or if I install less apps, I can take more pictures. It's the way Samsung and Apple have done it for a while now, and I personally really like it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Ah perfect. I'm good to go then. Yea that was the thing about it was the internal storage. Makes more sense. Thanks for explaining.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
Thanks as well. I always thought it was odd not to have full storage for apps and whatnot. I think this is a good time to wipe out my sdcard/internal as well. After so much flashing, ive got a ton of folders of old/trashed apps and Roms.

Looks like I'm going to be doing it this way...

Save all info to PC

Drop single zip (fw+twrp+hboot) and flash in boot loader

Unlocked now, so should still be after new fw and hboot

Install stock and update prl

Wipe and flash carbon

...sorry for diverting discussion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Just making sure you know, it's going to wipe your internal and external (i think) if it's in the you have to back up storage before doing this. Good a time as any to clean up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I don't think there is a setting for it. But I remember reading somewhere on how to disable the lights. I want to say it was a kernel setting on one of the kernels, but they may have been on a sense kernel. There might a way to disable it in build prop.

Yes and is there anyway to make the notification bar transparent? I know I'm probably asking for things that are at the bottom of the list in terms of things that need to be implemented into the next update so I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Edit: this ROM keeps getting better and better. I found the setting that allows me to make the notification bar transparent.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
There is one. Its just at the top right corner in recent apps. It looks like the clear all notifications symbol.
