Ok I had a few minutes to spare today and got another build out, this one should have storage working again as [MENTION=3721563]danjull[/MENTION] pointed out the overlays weren't included, this includes storage.xml which..shocker...tells about the device storage. So while it knew it should have an sd card, it was never told it has one, what kind or where it was, so it used a placeholder in the last build.

As usual if something is broken let me know and I'll eventually fix it again. CM made a minor change to the actual line for the overlays so carbon may or may not have picked it up with the new version anyways, if it still has no storage, that's why and I'll change it to the old version.

Short on time, no stories tonight, sorry. Instead, a weak joke: Two dyslexics walk into a bra...
[HTC Droid DNA] holytimes:
The new version crashes when I go to the clock widget settings it appears the lockclock.apk is missing from sys/apps. Also it appears to not have root.

Edit - also appears voice plus is missing its apk from sys/apps pulling the apks from the version with the broken sdcard and just dropping the apks in seems to work fine tho and a quick flash of supersu binarys in recovery and everything is working fine!
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Ok, I remember something making LockClock angry during the build so that's probably whats going on there. As for the rest, I'm not sure, I think I actually synced in the middle of some changes and things were moved around or paths changed or who knows what. Slipping in another build now, I'll keep an eye out for anything concerning those issues coming up during the build.
[HTC Droid DNA] holytimes:
Thanks pio for all the effort! Question to anyone who might know. Lately all the ROMs iv tried have had this light little noise that plays when I get any notification that won't stop till I check them. Older ROMs don't do it. Anyone have any idea what it is?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
OK new one uploaded, I suppose it'll actually work this time. Maybe. Or it'll possibly consider working. Depends on its mood.
[HTC Droid DNA] holytimes:
I'll get to flashing asap !
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Well I take the silence as either no one is using it or it's running well now.

Side note, I've been kind of quiet on the Carbon thing for awhile, mostly due to time constraints, I'm pretty busy, but I'm also poking it with a stick.

Some of you may have heard of JustArchi's modifications to the build system to optimize, heavily, the entire ROM, not just parts of it or the kernel. There may even be ROMs already released with those changes, I have no idea. Anyways, I've implemented them, and the linaro 4.8 toolchain, into carbon. As of a few days ago it will build for the G2 and Grouper, however the DNA, being the lovely finicky device it is, hasn't built yet. I had time to try again this evening and guess what? Carbon moved to 4.4.3 already and broke building, so I have to fix a bunch of errors that haven't been caught yet so it's slowing me down again.

Anyways, that's the update for now. Optimized to hell, runs great so far on G2 and Grouper, maybe coming soon for DNA, on 4.4.3 even. It'll certainly be unofficial as I've modified the build portion. I can't call it my own since I haven't done much other then use JustArchi's changes behind the scenes, but it's also not as Carbon makes it, so I guess I'll just leave it as unofficial Carbon...ideas?

Side note, if you happen to have a VS980 G2 or Grouper Nexus 7 let me know if you want to try it out.
[HTC Droid DNA] ming3r:
I'll be looking forward to it. I'm not on this at the moment, but miss Carbon's featureset...I so far I'm getting the best battery life on PA, so maybe this will be able to break it :)

[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
It might, hard to say as there are plenty of variables. I don't build the kernel against the same optimizations and toolchain so it's still a "normal" CM kernel, though using any of the excellent kernels available for CM ROMs would compliment the ROM quite well, I'm sure. It does seem to do a little better on my G2 battery then the CM11 I was running before it over a couple of days, but we all know that can change over a week or more, and getting a kernel to work with my particular setup on the G2 is difficult with the limited time I have to play around with this stuff anymore. On grouper the M series kernels are an excellent addition to the ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
Haven't had time to flash anything for weeks. I'm fiending
[HTC Droid DNA] pyroguysf:
Good to see you still around every once in a while Pio. If you're offering, my grouper is badly in need of a new ROM. I've been trying some F2FS, but it doesn't seem to be working all that great for me, so I have to convert back to ext4. I just think the hardware's on it's way out, but oh well.

Gapps files ending in torrent??

I see that all the zip files end in .torrent, which my version of cwm cannot see to flash.

Do I rename the file to end in .zip before I transfer it over, or do I need a newer version of cwm?

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I just noticed this, sorry. Mine was the same way, I ended up completely wiping it out and formatting it in fastboot then flashing factory images then rooting and put my carbon build on it with an M series kernel and its been great since. You can grab it here if you want to try it out https://www.dropbox.com/s/ae437kg3gyt5h3e/CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140603-1220-grouper.zip Its not on my site as I'm not sure how it'll do in the wild. You'll want to go back to ext4 for this, it's not setup for any other file system. I also run journal-less which is kind of dangerous in terms of losing data in a crash or reboot but I haven't run into any issues with it yet. Helps a miniscule amount on some write operations, probably placebo but I always run it on my devices.

Thanks, it's looking great so far, just not the easiest to implement in some cases.

Not yet, Carbon switched to 4.4.3 and it threw me off and I wasn't home for a couple of days, for now I'm waiting for the merging to calm down before I start working on it again, battling the merges when they'll do it themselves seems pointless to me right now.

The only torrent files are for gapps, the rest of the files, ROMs, kernels, whatever, will be zip. You'll need a torrent client to use the torrent files, otherwise you can grab gapps from the usual places, I like PA gapps which you can find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 and come in various "sizes" depending on how many Google apps you want installed already.
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
Anyone else having camera issues? Clean flashed this morning, went to use my camera tonight and I get the can't connect to camera error.

Edit: Nope, it's my phone. Disregard. Not sure what's going on but I'm pissed considering my camera was working over the weekend.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
OK the build is finally completed, I'll do do some testing for a couple days as its fresh to 4.4.3 and all the changes to the build process may yield odd issues. If all goes well you guys will get your new Carbon in a couple days!

My usual testers can shoot me a PM if you're interested in helping out.

Built with Archie's optimizations?!

HTC DNA

LG Optimus G
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Yessir, and linaro 4.8 toolchain for the ROM, the kernel is still the stock CM kernel built on 4.7, it plays nicely with crpalmer's awesome kernel, though, so it should work with any aosp based kernel available as long as its somewhat current.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Is the the first DNA ROM with these optimizations?

HTC DNA

LG Optimus G
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
No idea, I've stopped venturing outside of my own threads long ago, the community and myself don't get along much anymore. As far as I know this is the first attempt at this setup, but it may not be.

Tapatalked from my G2 - SS Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I think so (being the first to use these optimizations). I didn't notice anyone else mention it in their ROM threads.

Crpalmer hasn't updated his custom kernel in a while, I hope it works.

It does :beer::D

[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
I will later on. Can't really feel the difference with the optimizations =\ LS feels smoother overall.

HTC DNA

LG Optimus G
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I think they perform equally well. The only reason I went back to LS is because of the sidebar. Other than that they are both great ROMs and great developers (Pio and Santod).
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Agreed!

HTC DNA

LG Optimus G
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
It feels better to me coming from viper, just a little smoother overall, but that's about it, let's be honest, LS is a hard ROM to beat. In the end the only benefits I'm seeing are the smoothness from a fresh flash are actually staying longer then a day, its been 11 on my G2 and grouper and 5 on my DNA and they're not slowing down yet. Either way, its something extra for no charge.

I'll probably do it to PAC as well and go back to doing weekly or so builds for those who like to have it going.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Pio, do you know if the CM base has the optimized dalvik libs in them so that we don't have to flash them anymore?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Not sure, but anything processed by the toolchain is now optimized so it may not be needed on ROMs setup like this.

You could try benchmarking it then try the libs and see if there's much of a change or not, I mean aside from the usual variances.

Tapatalked from my DNA - SS Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I quit benchmarking since results have swung either way by hundreds of points on the same ROM, the only difference was time of day, what I ate in between tests, and the position of the moon.

On Sense based ROMs, there's this hesitation I notice when coming from a CM based rom, although the Sense ROM would always benchmark higher.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
While I agree with benchmarking IMO this is what its for, measuring changes, not....whatever people use it for lol. Can't say I've seen hundreds of points changes without actual changes but it does fluctuate enough to make pinpointing changes difficult.

Tapatalked from my G2 - SS Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I just notice that on one test, let's say its 18k and the next test may be +/- 100. Who knows, maybe at one time it was automatically syncing something, was distracted by watching me undress, or was hoping the beer I was holding was for him.

I tried to be scientific by going into airplane mode and sticking it in the freezer for ten minutes prior to each test.
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
Is there a new update I missed?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
You can be a testes too, just pm Pio and he will masculate you.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Oops,I meant you can be a tester and you can pm him to be emasculated.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
See that's where you went wrong, its 20 minutes in the freezer, don't half ass it and it'll work as intended. You should also remove any case and/or screen protectors to prevent heating up and possibly making it distracted by being uncomfortable. If you want to really get solid numbers yell at it in German while its doing the CPU tests then in Korean during GPU test and Spanish during IO tests, rock solid 72,600 when I did that.

[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
You got it wrong. My phone has been naked (case-free),since day one. Second, it wasn't uncomfortable seeing me undress, it was jealous. Third, it didn't want to be in the freezer for another ten minutes because it kept *****ing about its shrinkage (or maybe it was me complainimg of shrinkage because i was being paternal and joined my phone in the freezer).
[HTC Droid DNA] AndyinHD:
These last couple of pages of conversation are the whole reason why I stay subscribed to this thread...and I guess also a little because of the sweet Carbon-y goodness Pio graciously slings our way too!
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Well I dunno what to tell you, mine does great after 20 mins in the freezer, perhaps the fluctuating scores is related to the shrinkage, as it subsides maybe the scores increase as well?

Yeah its nice to see the thread back to normal.

I'll probably do a fresh build for you guys today then go work on PAC. I've been experimenting with moving to Arch along the way too, so I need to build to test anyways.

Crud, I think the speaker on my phone is blown. I'll give it a few days to see if it corrects itself. I've always had my eye on the M8, I just never had a reason to get it until possibly now.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
FYI, don't go to YouTube and watch a video of pirates attacking a US Nimitz in Phuket. That's the video that killed the speaker. It's a **** video, some idiots on a speedboat getting within a half mile of the the big-ole ship.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
The DNA has a weak speakerphone. Mine blew last year =\ got a replacement. Now the phones vibrating motor is weak. Doesn't vibe as hard =\

HTC DNA

LG Optimus G
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I could deal with it by using a Bluetooth speaker for video and an earpiece for phone calls. I just don't want to wait too long and then Big V finds a to really lock the bootloader on the M8 and I'm SOL. I've been spoiled with this phone's ability to be unlocked so we could flash radios and kernels, and revert firmware. And I don't get phones expecting a dev to root or unlock it, I do research first and if nothing is available I count my blessing when a dev eventually roots or unlocks it.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Ok little update, had a couple reports that phone signal drops when calls are made and requires a reboot to get it back, so I didn't put it out. Meanwhile I think I tracked it to my tree selection for msm8960-common, I use PACs version which skipped some commits regarding the radio and Carbon may be using them, plus it's outdated by other commits anyways, so I built 2 new ones, the first one I skipped over and will instead send out the second one to the same users to test out.

Changes for this are: -03 changed to -0fast, userdebug changed to user, CM only trees. PMs or hangouts will be going out when there's a link. BTW, anyone testing for me feel free to get me on hangouts. Well, really anyone feel free provided you aren't there to complain :p. I use hangouts for anything, so even if it's not android related, I don't care. Kinda like this thread.

And dropbox needs to upload faster then AOL on a 56K modem in 1995.

[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
You'll need to use the older themes, such as for CM10-10.2, the available public builds don't have the newer CM theme engine dealio in there.

Speaking of newer shiz, I javwnt been able to track the issue with dropping the radio when calling so I haven't put anything out until that's resolved, its device specific, just not sure where.

LG Optimus G
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I blew the speaker on Wednesday. I was thinking of the M8, but the CM based ROMs have this problem where if you hard reboot it sometimes it will encrypt the internal storage so you would have to ruu. And the mic doesn't work when using the speakerphone. I couldn't wait for those problems to be solved and the DNA was only $1 if I use the upgrade on my dad's phone which is under my plan.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
This phone is a beats still IMO. My ladies pops just got the S5 and I got to play with it and my phones feels just more smoother with all the tweaks. The screen isn't all that great 2. Think I might hold off until Android just releasing 64-bit phones :)

Fixed a few drop call issues for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I actually made a zip that fixes that encryption bug without formatting or the RUU, few guys i know have M8s and one hit that last night so i whippes up a little script lol.

Just flash in recovery from external and reboot. I do builds and work with the M8 I just don't do any threads, same as the G2, I keep to myself these days, friends get my goodies lol

Loki allows for everything to run, same as being unlocked, but no, there is no unlock for it. I love my G2.

I haven't had time to go looking but I will certainly implement that one, thanks!

Well, the updater script was fixed and the ROM flashed just fine but gave the same issue of dropped signal when attempting to make phone call, and the play store icons were once again psychedelic. Pio is trying something else, and we'll see where things are tomorrow I suppose. Keep it up Pio. happy to help
[HTC Droid DNA] phabulous:
Well besides the dropped signal when making a call, the rom is really fast and smooth. Arguably the best 4.4.4 rom so far if Pio can get a fixed for the signal drop. I tried a couple of things such as changing the dpi and so forth and they all worked flawlessly.

Thanks man for the hard work.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
Yeah. Was wicked fast, but not having a phone that works as a phone is a deal breaker for me. He managed a build today that does not fail on calls, but without one of the optimizations. Working now to implement -o3 back in without breaking it again. : ) STOKED!!!

Update: fully optimized with working phone
