Really liking this ROM so far. Just curious, what recovery is everyone using now?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
I like TWRP, but I am a bit partial ;)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:
I'm on the 7/5 build and did a clean flash, and the weird thing is that this time I actually had to update the app in order to get it to work LOL. but it's working fine now that I updated it.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ah thanks for chiming back in. Yea, always best to keep the app updated... Having to update Google Search is annoying as well.

I've seen a few "unofficial" gapps packs which some might work better than others. I only use the Google ones, from March... 20130301. Then just go thru the Google Play dance to update everything.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
Trying out your kernel today. Performance is great, stability is superb. Battery is so-so. Down to 15% after nearly 13 hours with a little over 1hr of on screen time.

Will give this another few days though, and may try cross breeder next.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ming3r:
Using 7/4 and Bytecode's kernel, Bluetooth is now causing my phone to reboot randomly when using Google Music. It goes to the boot screen and hangs there until I manually turn it off and on.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Is his kernel up-to-date with the nightlies?

Revert to the vanilla kernel, just to rule that out.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
update to this:

battery got down to 1%, and seemed to have stayed there for quite awhile (1hr+ with an additional 1hr of on screen time), so it looks like I'm still having the issue of my battery stats not reading properly.

but once I get that ironed out (by letting the phone drain down to zero two times), I should be in good shape.

I will note that I was a little concerned initially after flashing your kernel. the boot logo came up, but was was just a shadow of itself, and when the startup screen shown, it performed a hot boot. no other problems since then though (and the boot logo appears to be normal now).
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Where is the setting to turn off the persistent search bar?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Do you mean search bar on launcher screen?

Install Apex or Nova - it have everything you need!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Yeah, that was it. Most of the other ROMs I have tried had a place to turn that off without having to install another launcher.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Most of the other ROM's you were testing were probably not using the stock launcher ;)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Probably so. I also notice battery life is not as good as I thought it would be. I'm wondering if I just don't have proper expectations. In 2 hours I've consumed 14% of the battery already. I've been on WiFi that whole time mostly browsing xda. Is that about normal?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
It`s on Carbon 7/07 ?

I had perfect battery life on 6/30 with Arrrghhh`s kernel 6/29 (SmartASSv2 / SIO) - 2 days & 11h with 3.12H screen time (2G only, WiFi + 1-1.5H talk time)

But 6/30 have more bugs.. :(
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Yes 7/7 with the included kernel
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Try this kernel it includes some CrossBreeder goodness.

Now I have 22h battery life & still 14% of battery (but it flashed over Arrrghhh`s kernel 7/05)

Or wait - dhacker made 07/09 build of CM10.1

It means new goodness in next Carbon & in next Arrrghhh`s kernel (I love this kernel - it`s the best, but 7/05 it`s little lagging)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Do I need to uninstall cross breeder if its installed already?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
I think it`s better to uninstall it... But I`m not sure...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
keep in mind that your battery life would not be an apples-apples comparison since you are in another country!

also, i've noticed that battery stats tend to be "off" for the first few days. most folks recommend to allow the phone to drain down to zero (actually allowing the phone to shut down automatically) at least two times before (with full uninterrupted charges in between) before the stats will read accurately again.

supposedly, this allows the battery stats to cache up again.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
You mentioned you use Arrrrgh's kernel but you linked bytecode's. And what is in Carbon?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
I`m use Arrrrgh's kernel as usual, but now (7/05) it`s little laggy... I`m wait next release!,, Carbon 07/07
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
I have been told that every time the battery hits 100%, the stats are reset.

Also I know that killing the battery completely is also not a good idea - modern lithium ion batteries like to be frequently recharged, and actually do NOT like to be fully discharged.

As for what kernel is provided in Carbon, the vanilla razrqcom kernel is bundled. If people want custom kernels, they can feel free - but I won't force that on everyone ;)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
I`m agree with you!.. I`m on GSM 2G & it use less battery..

But.. I think i`m flashogolik - can`t "live" without flash new build! :laugh::D
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Laggy?

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you mean my kernel is outdated, ByteCode's is worse lol. July 1 vs. July 5?

I do need to roll another tho, I see I am a few commits behind.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
No. I mean that I have some bugs on XT907 using July 5 kernel - freezing on some apps. July 1 have no those for me...

P.S. Sorry for my English.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Oh interesting. Well, I would ask that you test everything on the "default" kernel - assuming it works well, then you update.

As you already know, if you have issues reverting is your friend :).

Rolling a new kernel now.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
i've read 3 different ideas - including to run the battery calibration after installing a new ROM. but I'm not sure what to believe when my battery reads 1% and sits there for 8 hours while I'm still using using it....

otherwise, I've had zero issues with the 7/5 build and your kernel. most stable 4.2.2 ROM for me thus far.

any word yet on hiding the cell signal?

thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
I asked the folks on Carbon about it, they weren't really sure. I'm wondering if it's the launcher you're using? Are you on the stock launcher2 or are you using something else?

A lot of the other ROM's change the launcher out for something else by default.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
I'm using Holo launcher (same for all of the ROMs). In AOKP & PACMan, hiding the signal only hides the cell signal, not mobile data. i can this is a little different as the upload/download arrows in the signal icon are embedded in the signal bars. I think Orion/Slim are the same as Carbon.

haven't checked Eclipse or CM10.1
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] d.vv:
no number sms handling

My bank sends me SMS messages about card transactions. They appear without a number, FROM field has MYBANKNANE only. The same is for my carrier and some other services. The bug is that all of no number sms goes to one thread which has no number in title. Any suggestions how to fix it?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
How did you fix it on the stock ROM? Or any other ROM for that matter?

I just thought about it too, all of my texts - even from my carrier - come from some sort of a number. It might not be a valid/dial-able number, but there's always a number there. Must be something different with your carrier.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] d.vv:
I had another phone before running CM10.1. It was OK and I didnot try it on the stock.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Unless someone else has an idea, I have no clue. All of my texts have some sort of a number associated with it, I've never - not once - received a message without some sort of a number in the 'sender' field.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Hey guys,

Where can I get the latest 4.2.2 Gapps? They aren't in the OP post anymore.

Thanks :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip Mirror #1 Mirror #2 Mirror #3
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Running 07/10 Carbon + 07/09 Arrrghhh`s kernel - it`s perfect!.. Again!..
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Ta :) still have the hangouts connection error on latest ROM and gapps :/
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hangouts is updated to the newest version?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Correct. However I am having another issue that I believe may be the cause. I use the GSM Fix, (live in Australia) and I've noticed that aside from 4G signal strength not displaying properly, sometimes 3G will also lose its blue signal colour, which I heard means you don't have a connection to googles servers. Not sure about how accurate that is through. Just putting it out there.

See screenshot for signal issue.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
This is correct, if your signal bars are not blue (used to be green) then you do not have connectivity to Google's servers.

Does your internet work when the signal bars are white like that?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Have internet and everything. I have discovered that a reboot fixes it randomly. (Might work might not) and that clearing dalvik does too. Both are random and don't always work but a reboot has fixed it for now. Still no hangouts access.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] soninja8:
So I'm trying to install some stock droid RAZR m apps like the gallery and camera app off of this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897306

I got the camera to install but for some reason the slow motion record part of it doesn't seem to work. I have set the correct permissions and everything. Also, the stock gallery won't install no matter what. I have tried coping it to system and changing permissions also.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
I'm not having any issues whatsoever. I was using the prior night's version and simply flashed this over it. I cleared cache and dalvik cache before rebooting. I also am using arrghh's kernel with it if that helps at all.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. Not more than 10 minutes later, I got an fc on Calendar storage, which is weird since I wasn't doing anything with the calendar. Then I tried to go into settings and that fc'd. Then anything I tried to do FC'd at which point I rebooted into recovery. Long story short, I ended up restoring a backup
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
I had many issues with Arrrghhh's kernel. Even after a clean flash so I went back to the bundled kernel. But my issues were present on Arrrghhh's kernel as well.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
What issues do you have? I have no any issues on it...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Games freezing, random reboots, and force closes. But it was becoming frequent so I went back to bundled. No problems now :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
What version of Carbon / Kernel? I had something like this on 07/07 Carbon with 07/05 Kernel, but on 7/10 Carbon with 7/09 kernel I have not this issue.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
I was last on carbon 02/07 with 01/07 kernel I think. I can't remember which kernel commit but I had the issue over multiple releases :(
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
I had zero issues with 7/4 ROM and 7/5 arrrgh kernel.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
My problems came on suddenly, and I was using 7/10 Carbon with 7/9 Arrrghhh''s kernel
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Does anyone know of a way to get GPS working on Carbon? I've heard of the flash back to stock thing, but I was wondering if there was an easier method? If not could someone tell me the details of the flash to stock method, I have a nan-droid of stock.

Thanks guys. :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
If you already have a nandroid of stock, then it couldn't be easier.

Boot to recovery. Take a nandroid of your current Carbon setup. Restore your stock backup. Boot it, and let it sit. Fire up Google Maps, or something that will force GPS usage. Make sure you get the icon in the notification bar, a good lock. Then back to recovery, restore your Carbon backup.

You should have GPS now in Carbon.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Will it carry across the nightlies? :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
It should. I never needed to do this "trick", so I can't guarantee. GPS always worked for me...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ming3r:
Just to come full circle, still having this with the latest nightly + gapps. Not sure if something is causing this...everyone elses bluetooth working?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sorry, I didn't get back to you on this.

MANY people with msm8960 moto's have been complaining about BT issues. I heard the .85 kernel update did it, so revert to a nightly before that update - before July 3, so July 2 or prior.

Good luck.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ming3r:
Don't sweat it. Did a quick search on the .85 and looks like you said it yesterday (posts 431 or so) and they mention it by BT. Explains why search wouldn't find it under bluetooth :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
I can confirm that GPS is now working with the above method being implemented. :) Thanks very much.

So do you have any idea about what is going on with the 4G stuff? I posted a photo of the DBM - ASU of its signal strength awhile back but you didn't get back to me?

:confused:

Update: After fixing GPS hangouts now works :D
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dark.blue:
i manage to install the latest nightly, gapps, and cm10.1 gsm fix...

one problem... why my phone can not choose the 2G only?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
I can do it if I choose it via system bar toggles?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dark.blue:
still cant... :(

the word icon in the signal bar still H/H+ :(
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
I'm afraid I don't know than :(
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] gamikzone:
im having issues with wifi, i cannot connect to my network, i see other networks just fine, but i have to hit on the wps button on my router in order to connect, but for some reason it wont let me connect automatically, when i was running stock i didnt have no problem like this, should i try resetting my router? or is it a problem with the rom itself. thanks in advance~
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Does 4g work for you on CM10.1? Is it just the signal strength, or is it 4g entirely?

I thought many other people confirmed that 4g is working just fine for them... I don't have this exact device, and I don't even get LTE in my area. Although when travelling, I have hooked up to LTE no problems.

I don't even have this option... you must be GSM. Sorry mate, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. Is it just the quick toggle that's not working? Are you able to force it thru the settings menu?

Have you tried a static IP? For some reason my phone had issues with certain wifi networks. For example, my house - no problems on DHCP. Ex gf's place, I need a static IP or else I will not get a connection.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Well I will restate my issues :)

1) 4G signal strength displays as transparent bars. So I cannot actively tell if I have two bars signal or one bar signal ect....

2) despite this, I still have a connection to all services. And download rates are exact to what 4G is.

3) Blue bars are not always shown on 3G, sometimes remain grey and even rebooting does not fix it sometimes.

I have not tested my device on CM10.1 because I have no home WiFi and so I can only use my data plan. So I try not to download too many ROMs. But same issue existed on pacman from memory.

See attached pic for what download speed i was getting and the 4G signal bar issue.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
LTE works great here, signal strength and all... I also saw some other users chime in that it works fine on VZ's LTE as well. Since you can't confirm on CM... I'm not sure what to say. My best advice would be to see if it works there - if it does, then perhaps I am missing a commit. If it doesn't... well then you know my answer :p.

Bars not being blue indicates no connectivity to Google's servers. Can you confirm this is the case, or are the bars just not showing blue?

Regardless, flashing some GSM "fix" sounds a little fishy. I wonder if this could be messing up something... you have a XT907? Is it sold by Verizon and you shipped it or is it sold somewhere locally?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] MistPhoenix:
Does anyone have issues using Wi-Fi tethering on this rom? USB tethering works fine for both 3G and 4G, but when using Wi-Fi tethering, my laptop/xbox/psp can all see the hotspot, but when attempting to connect, I keep getting a timeout. I just recently starting getting this error. I tried reflashing (dirty,clean) this rom, as well as Axi0m and both are not working. Maybe I messed something up?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
On 10.1 I sometimes get that... A combination of power cycling WiFi on client devices, restarting tethering, power cycling WiFi on on tether device and power cycling tether device seems to solve it (not necessarily in that order)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
I live in Australia and bought it locally from JB-HI-FI. It was unlocked(sim) out of the box as well as Unlockable bootloader. (Aussies get XT905 which I believe is the developer edition) So my phone is really the XT905 but not sure if that would cause issues. The only thing I can think of is that the GSM Fix just simply isn't very compatible with the LTE network. But it is unfortunately my only option given the circumstances :(

As for bar colour, the bars are just not showing blue I believe, as I can synch with Google account and everything when they are grey.

I tried installing a theme to see if that would solve the issue but nothing changed.

Thank you for the help though :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well honestly if it's just cosmetic... I wouldn't sweat it. The signal bar thing I'm sure is frustrating, but it also sounds cosmetic.

Unless some GSM folk have an idea, I'm not sure what else to do. There's probably some build.prop stuff that needs to change for GSM.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:
I've notice in the last update, ram usage has increased drastically on my device, is this normal?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] brizzle1986:
What's the theme you're using?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:
It's called denite blue leather.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] PantherVT:
Its cool where did you find it?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dark.blue:
arrrgh kernel that posted in the photon section?

is it safe for xt907? how do you install it, i mean the steps...???
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:
it's in the play store.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Flash the .zip as you would any other in recovery.

The CM kernel is what you want, in post #5. If the kernel date doesn't match the nightly, check the commits as instructed in the post.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dark.blue:
is that mean that i should use kernel the same date with the rom???

btw, now i use the official liquidsmooth.... can i use your kernel too?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
I responded in the kernel thread... That ROM is off-topic to this thread, thanks.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Dyelon:
Hey Carbon peeps...just unlocked my bootloader and flashed my first ROM: Carbon!

I like it so far, suuuuper speedy and slick transitions for apps (especially "recent")

I tried searching the thread, but it comes up sooo many times that it's hard to get a feel for what I should do: What advice would be useful for me in terms of kernels? Are they important with this ROM? Is speed the main benefit? Any other considerations?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Speed, and additional things to tweak like over/under clocking, over/under volting, choosing different schedulers and governors, etc.

Both my kernel and bytecode's should work fine - just make sure it's up-to-date.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] d.vv:
This is the SMS message with no number.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
7797 isn't the sending number?

Unfortunately my last message is about the best I can give you right now. I've never experienced anything like that before. How did you fix it on CM? Or Stock?

You said "it was fine", but I'm not sure what that means.

Maybe someone else has run into this issue before.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] d.vv:
The sender is Unicredit. See "from" field. This not the number from my contacts. On previous ROMs there were separate threads named UniCredit or MTS (my carrier). The point is that SMS app can not handle such messages properly. All the messages appear in noname thread.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Dyelon:
Just wanna say that so far this ROM kicks Kaiju (the giant monsters from "Pacific Rim") ass!

Soooo much faster than stock, battery life is slightly better, AOSP so I can use CM themes, and the customization is incredible.

Thanks alot for this
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
Hey Arrrghhh,

I downloaded CM10.1 (Mates house WiFi leeching ;) ) and I can confirm that the 4G issue I experience is on CM as well. That being said, there will likely be no fix for it right? Only strange thing is 4G speeds are slightly faster on CM.

Also thanks for baring through trying to help me find the issue :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea if the issue is present on CM then unfortunately I've done everything right if you will :p.

If it worked on CM, I would at least have something to compare to. My best guess - your phone requires a different build.prop than provided. Assuming you find it, you can roll your own update.zip which can be applied to each update, similar to how you apply the GSM fix now.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Dyelon:
Hey team carbon, as I said before I'm having a blast with this ROM. I've had ZERO major issues.

But i have two comments/questions:

1) I'm having small problems with waking the phone. Sometimes it shows a pixelated graphic before displaying the lockscreen correctly. And sometimes, the phone just doesn't wake on the first press and i have to press it again. Sometimes it lags and wakes a couple seconds after i press. And earlier, it actually just didn't wake and i had to reboot the phone because the display just wouldn't reappear.

2) i want to 100% disable the lockscreen from rotating to landscape. Many times I'm taking the phone out of my pocket while waking it and it opens in landscape. It's annoying for obvious reasons when I'm totally anticipating on the phone waking in portrait.

Any input? Thanks very much in advance
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ShadowRAZR:
You can disable the lockscreen rotation in the lockscreen settings :)

As for the wake time, I never noticed such things occurring. The pixelation occurred at boot but that was about it.

Edit: Sorry may have been wrong about lockscreen rotation. I always have my auto rotate off. I thought I had disabled it via lockscreen but I can't find the setting for it.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Dyelon:
I'm sorry i should have added: i tried turning off enabling lockscreen rotation but it's not working. It allows it whether I set it to on or off
