[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
The first rom you released was the fastest nexus s rom. (Stock kernel, 1000mhz max cpu freq. Even at 800mhz it's still faster than other 4.2.2 roms)

Newer nightlies are laggy.

Bugs on FIRST RELEASE i experienced:

1. "Lock volume keys" won't work

2. Fast charge tile won't work (kernel issue?)

3. Force closes on mms and gallery+camera apps on random occasions.

4. Usb mass storage mode causes forced reboot

5. MTP mode does not work properly (kernel issue?)

6. "Advanced settings" force closes on random occasions

7. Volume cannot be set higher than recommended volume on random occasions

8. Lock screen bug (refer to older posts)

*maybe these were fixed on newer nightlies but speed was greatly sacrificed

Requests:

1. Mobile data tile

2. Proper network mode tile (not only 2g)

3. Newer tile arrangement interface to arrange tiles easier and quicker

4. Customizable app to be opened when tapping date/time in status bar notification pulldown on the top-left (for example, calendar app should be opened when tapping date; clock/alarm app should be opened when tapping time)

5. Stock jellybean keyboard theme but black background on dark carbon (no gradient). Black keyboard with white letters produce eye strain(hurts the eyes).

6. The white line between the conversation list and the keyboard/area for typing a message in dark carbon is not easy on the eyes (eyesore imho)

I cannot use the fastest rom as a daily driver because it was really buggy.

I really liked the speed though. I never thought that speed was achievable on a 4.2.2 rom version for nexus s. Everything loads fast i felt like i am on a quad-core device. I hope my post helped a bit :thumbup:
[Nexus S Android Development] Gingo21:
Thanks for reporting.

Note : The first release I've done is like the 17th nighly, the only difference is that it is built by me ( no stable release for now ).

Concerned the bugs : I personnaly experienced the 1 and 4 ( I have to speak to the dev for the 1) but the 4 isn't present on last nightly).

What is lockscreen bug that everyone speak ? I know that it is a bit messy but don't see bug.

If you use stock kernel (wich is CM one), MTP and fast charge won't work.

Concerned the speed, I don't understand why it is buggy for some and stable and fast for other. I have personally 0 problem of lagyness, I am always at 800mhz on each nightly and I can play temple run 2 without lags !

For requests, I am not dev of this ROM, just a maintainer and contributor please contact on IRC, or on the Google+ community.
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
My problem with flashing another kernel is that there's a noticeable decrease in speed. Loading a single sms conversation thread with 9000 messages is my primary means of benchmarking (i use mms app 90% of the time). On stock cm kernel it loads in 0.5-1.0 second, but when i use devil and marmite kernels it loads in 3-5 seconds, matrix 2-4 seconds, vta 2-3 seconds. (All @ 100-1000mhz EDIT: vta kernel is 100-1248mhz)

The same goes with loading 3rd party apps. Using cm kernel loads them fastest.

Same devices, different chips.

Maybe i'll give the latest nightly a shot. :rolleyes: :thumbup:

Well Well Well

To get max battery life, follow me :)

I am running this version: CARBON-JB-EXP-20130425-000436-crespo.zip

With Kernel Marmite 8.5cm_bigmen version

Settings: 100 - 800 MHz (Awesome Performance, with no to little lags)...

Governer: smartassV2

IO : row

And using Greenify app to hibernate all background apps :D

Thanks to Setting.Out for helping me sorting out everything :)

I'm getting the best battery life + Performance on my NS :good:
[Nexus S Android Development] Big Dog KMc:
Try it again without connecting the charger or data cable
[Nexus S Android Development] Maisam.asif:
This ain't charging buddy... I sent around 4gb of Music to my phone using data cable :) I saw 1% increase in battery only after sending data... Didn't used the charger at all :angel:

However, let my battery be 100% and I will post the results again... :)

EDIT: And why would I cheat :D Carbon's Dev's ain't giving me bucks to get their ROM on No.1 :P
[Nexus S Android Development] Big Dog KMc:
O.K. But using the Data cable charges the battery as well and will give out false results.

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not Bashing this rom in any way.

This rom is amazingly fast and for me, rock solid stable.

The only issue I have with this rom is the using a Bluetooth Ear piece and the one touch voice dial does work, but the audio does not go through the Bluetooth ear piece, it is going through the phones ear piece instead.
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
Yes you can. You can find the option under navbar setttings.
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
April 27th Nightly is up. I hope bugs are gone.

EDIT: Flashed it. "Lock volume keys" is fully working now :D
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
so is there a way to disable the menu control in.app?? it's quite unusefull in our nexus s and just take space !!! i can't find this option anywhere !!!
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
Yeah that bothers me too. Unfortunately i can't find the setting to disable it if there's any.

Btw the APR27th nightly is laggy on marmite 8.5cm, but it's fast and smooth on airkernel bigmem cm (stable version, not weekly)

No bugs encountered so far. I'm keeping this today.
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
not working for me ... maybe cause i dirty flashed from 26th ??? ( 26th was a clean installation )
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
Uh, i dirty flashed from slimbean 4.2

Maybe that's the reason it worked? ????
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
Try matrix kernel it's smooth also. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] N3RO815:
Downloadspeed from goo Manager is really bad. Is there an other mirror for download the nightly?
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
Goo.im is down now :crying:

maybe.. in 4.2 it worked like a charme :) ... for me this is alchemy ...
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
Someone can give temporary link for latest build?? already have build 26 but want test latest too..Goo.im is down..:crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus S Android Development] Maisam.asif:
Dear Sir... These are the latest results... Stopped charging at 93% only :)

Can you add DSP Manager like with the libs? Like in CM with all Tune options too?
[Nexus S Android Development] chalan30:
Thanks Gingo21! Im an ns4g user and would love to try this rom. I would be willing to test (and provide logcats etc.) if you would consider porting it over to the 4g people!

thanks for your effort
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
On Carbon 27 i dont have density changer on carbon setting.Am i right?
[Nexus S Android Development] kkkhattak:
Yes
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
Why they removed..Very lazy to edit build.prop and make app for it..:(
[Nexus S Android Development] kkkhattak:
Because now you can set it through PA preferences or PA hybrid :silly:
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
Oh ****,dont think about PA..lol..thx man..;):thumbup:
[Nexus S Android Development] newbie1908:
sometimes this rom is laggy. :(
[Nexus S Android Development] dark'em:
Rom is fast (again! :laugh: ) I use 27th with marmite 8.5CM, the onli thing that bugs me is the navibar showes up eaven if it's desabled in hybrid propreties, but if some of you havbe the same bug I vfound a small workaround: just go to CarbonRom settings and in NavigationBar select Hidden Navigatibar Enable and then set ''drag handle width'' to zero and the navibar dissapearsa, all in all this and hellybean are pretti snappy roms, I found that 4.2 roms havbe a real problem when you go to phone to call someone case it takes 3-5 seconds to open but NOT WITH CARBON! This opens everi single thing in no time! So :) :) :)
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
DSP MANAGER PLEASE? With full features like in CM Tune and Bass Boost Range
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
Copy paste from another rom have DSP not worked?
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
It worked but i want the full controls like CM Bass Boost Range after the Bluetooth page.
[Nexus S Android Development] dark'em:
It works but it doesent have extra tweaks, it only has 3 tabs for: headset, phone speacker and bluetooth, but not the 4th tab the one with the recording quality and db frequency setup, I think that to have those they have to be implemented in the rom otherwise they don't appear in DSP
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
Yes exactly! :good: :good:
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
But i have fourth tab :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] dark'em:
O God! Did you teke it from xylon , I remember those guys sayd they will tweak it but hey I didnt try the one from them thank you! I'll definitly try :cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:

Trebuchet i think
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
new nightly is very smooth ... only "bug" i found are: MTP not working ( probably solved if u use marmite and anyway classic usb-mount works !! so it's not really necessary to switch kernel just for that .. ) and Lock volume keys not working.. for the rest it is perfect... there is no Paranoid app for changing all app dpi ecc ( good for me .. ) and the menu keys in-app is gone ( good too )
[Nexus S Android Development] dark'em:
Facebook sync is up and running in 28 nightley! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Gingo21:
Stock AOSP Google launcher

Always lock volume keys issues...

And for people coming from slimbean it works ?

I see on github carbon have carbon music..Its player for music or something?
[Nexus S Android Development] Gingo21:
I am not sure of what it is and if it's included in the ROM. It seems to be fork from AOSP, there is no Carbon commit.
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
another things not working: open music app when headset plugged in ...

i have no idea what carbon music is...
[Nexus S Android Development] Gingo21:
I haven't this problem, I use google play music, what's your music app ?
[Nexus S Android Development] cptblubear:
Blazing fast on the 28th April nightly, runs temple run 2 and subway surfers fine even with over 20 other apps installed. Only thing I've found is it messes up a bit when trying to use gesture typing after using the indicator switcher at the side of the nav bar.
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
i use google play music too ... i'm dirty flashing since 25th nightly ... could be that the problem ??? i'll wait for tomorrow nightly and i'll try a fresh install ... if it's not good i'll go back to the 28th that seems pretty stable !!!
[Nexus S Android Development] Gingo21:
Accordind to Pa devs, no problem with dirty flash ;)

Ahmed Khalil8 avr. 2013 (modification) - Community - Team Carbon (Discussion)

"Everyone, if it hasn't been stated enough times, you can DIRTY flash any version of Carbon over any version of Carbon. You don't even need to wipe dalvik/cache. If you want to, you can, but it is not necessary.

For those who do not know what dirty flashing is, it is literally just flashing the newest build of Carbon over whatever build of Carbon you are currently running. No need to factory wipe, wipe /system, wipe dalvik, wipe cache etc. You do not need to wipe ANYTHING.

We have worked hard to make it so it is extremely easy for you to dirty flash and make flashing our newest builds as simple as possible. Because we seek the approval of complete strangers, we're just awesome that way. Thanks for your continuous support."

New Nightly is up! But nothing in the changelogs. :cyclops:
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
This latest nightly feels like Carbon again.. It is fast, smooth, and stable.. I haven't had the lag of the previous nightlies, nor any problems with apps.. I love that this rom has steered back away from Paranoid settings and hopefully feels comfortable with just being Carbon, which is pretty great, and not another carbon copy!
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
Are you referring to CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20130429-000529-crespo.zip (uploaded recently) or CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20130428-034016-crespo.zip (uploaded yesterday) ??
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
I think he is talking about the latest one 29th one. PA settings have been removed that's good. More stable.. Haven't changed the kernel yet want to test stock kernel running on 800mhz. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Technically both have the PA settings removed, but the 29th, the 28th was nice too.. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Maisam.asif:
Em on 25th Nightly... Want to test the latest 29th... Should I dirty flash or Clean?
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
First try dirty flash if you got any bugs or issues then full wipe!
[Nexus S Android Development] Maisam.asif:
And full wipe means Memory Card too??
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
In my opinion when devs say "full wipe" it does NOT involve wiping the memory card that contains your personal data. (Music, Videos, etc..)
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Just dalvik, cache and data for a full wipe, but Gino suggests that wiping isn't necessary..
[Nexus S Android Development] dark'em:
Thank you!
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
29th nightly seems to me a bit less smooth, does not solve 28th issues ( to me of course ) and i have problem witch camera widget too that doesn't always work and FC... haven't tried other kernel and i don't want too ... anyway with 28th too i have battery drain issues and don't see any wakelock problem ... i'll now try a clean installl

i else wanted to ask what is the most stable carbon rom so far ... ???
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
My favorite is still the first, it is the one I reload after trying another rom, it is my daily driver and doesn't fail me.. It is also the fastest.
[Nexus S Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
Even with dirty flash on previous build + downclock to 800mhz still fast :)
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
there are two 23 april experimental rom ... the 552 and 842 ( last three numbers ) wich one do you refer ? or did you mean the old unoffcial build ???
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
It's the old unofficial build. I still think it's the fastest rom i experienced too. But there are bugs. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
We should report it to OP.
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
Newer nightlies are more stable (lesser bugs) but not as fast as the unofficial build.
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
Yes, exactly. What to do..
[Nexus S Android Development] Gingo21:
Camera widget works

You can't evaluate a battery life because it needs some charge/discharge before.

clean install is useless

Any reviews about build 30??
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
basically it's the same of 29 and 28 ... the same issues ... battery life it's really not good to me ... but i'm flashing every day so i'm not reliable about that
[Nexus S Android Development] Maisam.asif:
Weird.. As 29th nightly is smooth and battery friendly for me... But really, not as much as the unofficial... Will try 30th nightly after some more reviews...
[Nexus S Android Development] dark'em:
The 30 is smooth and battery friendly but when you do like I do and every day flash a new nightly the battery drains fast the first time as it neads time to recalibrate, not the rom's flow just the system telling us its battery indicator needs time...P.S: I always had problems when doing a dirty flash (everytime I rebooted it was telling me that Android is upgrading and the boot time was really really fast, or sometimes I had reboots), but it I clean install it's al;ways ok, the rom is fast and smooth...the problem with some custom roms is actually the owners who sometimes firget theyr beloved devices have 512RAM and want performance as in Nexus 4, but believe me all in all this rom and Helly are the fastest, smoothest for Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] killswitch70:
Noob question sir.. Where can I find that unofficial version of yours? I've been installing all nightlies on my M200, experimental versions included but only the 29th version got flashed on my phone. Is the experimental version the same as the unofficial version you were mentioning? Wanna experience the battery life mentioned here. Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] theevilworm:
Hi, I tried installing Carbon NIGHTLY 29 and 30 together with Marmite8.5_bigmem, but I couldn't even boot. Only with the stock kernel it boots. YES, I know it's a nightly, but thats the only version of CarbonROM I can find for Nexus S.
