Can you upload 6/30 to a mirror for me? Goo.im is not working. Download unsuccessful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
PM sent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sag7392:
Yeah, I have that same issue and I now use only GV to check messages.

On another note, has anyone found an issue with flashing v.6/30 AND the latest Uber kernel? I found that when I did this, the status bar completely disappeared. I tried digging around in settings and could not find a solution. So, I ended up restoring a backup. I played around with it, so I could isolate the problem. Here's what I found.

-With the latest Uber kernel, for some odd reason it doesn't like to be flashed with the ROM. This reminds me of my old HTC EVO 4G days, lol. This was even doing it with v.6/28. I found I had to go back and reflash the kernel separately (6/21, I believe). Even after a reflash of v.6/30 and then a flash of the latest kernel separately didn't work. Just kind of weird. Status bar disappeared again and so did the wallpaper. Plus my device ran like crap.

Please correct my flash order if wrong. I started with a clean install of this magnificent ROM. For each nightly, I *usually* update my nand, then flash the latest nightly and the latest Uber kernel in the same session (this is with wiping the caches as well), using TWRP without issue until today.

I certainly don't mind being on the bleeding edge and I do expect bugs. I'm just reporting my findings and being as detailed as possible. Thoughts?

Edit- I kind of feel like this should go into the Uber thread. So if a mod and/or Jamie wants to move it, no problem. I don't want to create any confusion.

I've had same problem from browser. If I use goo manager app however it still DL slow, but does complete.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wingww:
was finally able to finish download 6/30 from goo.im but it broke bluetooth which worked fine on 6/24.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Anyone else getting less than 90min screen-on time with the carbon+uber combo?

It's easily the best 4.2 rom I've seen in every other aspect, but my battery life is killing me right now. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pyro254750:
Bluetooth doesn't work after each update for a while now. When trying to pair a device Bluetooth shuts off and won't turn back on. After a reboot it works as it should. This has been happening for a while now and every time a reboot fixes until the next update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
I believe that's the case with every 4.2.2 rom in existence because Broadcom hasn't released the updated source for their Bluetooth stack, but I could be wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rafac24:
Not really sure about on-screen time, but Carbon probably has the best battery life I've seen in a very long time (screen off, standby). I regularly drop only about 1% per hour
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] newyorksabre:
Its a battery hog for sure. There is no way around it, you'll be lucky to get a days worth of use without having to find an outlet somewhere. Its strange too, the battery drain occurs the most when the screen is on but considerably more than any other rom. When the screen is off it deep sleeps like a baby, but when the screen is on it burn through the battery twice as fast as others, maybe more. Its a shame though, because it does have its benefits, aside from the battery drain and occasional random reboot its a pretty solid rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
I reverted to the included kernel instead of uber, seems to slightly improve battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fieldside:
Have you done according to my post #225. I guess the short circuit caused by the dust is consuming your battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Doing so fixed my charging problem, but it didn't help any with the battery life.

The included kernel is lasting about twice as long as the Uber kernel, though. I'm now hitting about 2.5 hours of screen-on time. That's still pretty bad compared to other roms I've used in the past, but at least it's much better than it was with the uber kernel...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
My battery is bad no matter what I do. I attribute it to wear.

It's over a year old. Even though they are better than they used to be, after a year or so performance definitely fades. Try spending 5 bucks on eBay and get a replacement, I bet that will help. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DARKCHYLDX101:
I love the Uber kernel. But the swipe to wake has had my screen on for an hour in a two hour period while in my pocket. Especially when hitting the home key is the only thing to wake it on Carbon. That might be part of the reason to your battery drain issue. On any other rom battery life has been the same as stock for me unless I overclock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Ya I'm still trying tto figure out why on carbon the s2w is home2wake, other roms s2w works as it should

Does anyone know how often the carbon team pulls in upstream cm stuff? Or does it happen automatically with each nightly?

Josh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Carbon isn't cm based its aosp, so if they pull any cm stuff its only if they want to or if it fixes bugs :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
users with the home2wake issue,

go to settings-display , turn off the home wake feature

see if that fixes

*this option might not show, if it doesnt ill have it ready for tomorrows nightly if not the next day
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rafac24:
Jamie how do you do it? You have a dedication like no other. Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
Anybody else seeing a bit of laginess on 7/5 that wasn't there in the June nightlies?

Josh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
7/7 is up now. See if that fixes anything for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LuckyStrike88:
Still enjoying the ROM but figured I'd post some issues I'm having as of 7/7

-Google Voice voicemails don't work from the call log

-phone sometimes freezes when switching calls

-random reboots and freezes, maybe 1-3 per day

-bluetooth toggle doesn't work (I think this is common on all 4.2.2 roms but figured I'd add it)

Is there any changelog kept?

Thanks for all of your hardwork Jamie :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
- google voice isnt standard use for regular phone app

- never had more then one call at once so couldnt tell ya

- i havent had a rr since june, i dont know how people do it.. haha

- bluetooth is a known issue, if it stops working reboot and it will work :)

changelog on our goo.im page or check github for more indepth changes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
Any idea what changed in the 8 July build, it's not reflected in the change log yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
if your running nightlies, you should always check github.com/carbondev for most recent changes :)

btw i havent downloaded a nightly for a bit ive been testing other things, but there should be a changelog.txt in the zip, that gives you all the changes :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
That's cool, is that a carbon thing or do most roms have change logs in the zip?

Josh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LuckyStrike88:
I'm not finding it on goo, when I hover over the latest nightly and click check changelog, it just says developers hasn't left a changelog. I don't see where else it would be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Open the zip file, it's in there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LuckyStrike88:
I also have the phone freeze sometimes when ending a call, not just switching FWIW.

I realize GV isn't related to this ROM but it works in CM10.1 so I know it's not a 4.2.2 bug.

As for BT, you probably have your ear closer to the ground than I since you're a dev what is the cause of all the BT issues across ROMs? Is it as someone mentioned earlier that broadcom hasn't released drivers for 4.2.2? Sometimes I have to reboot my phone 4+ times for BT to finally kick in and work. This is the biggest downside of any modern ROM imo,

Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
7/9 is working well so far. I am not experiencing BT issues with it. I am running uber kernel though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
Good to know.

I'm still on the July 5th build, running the June 30th v of Uber and trickster mod, along with sslauncher. This thing is fast, fluid and the best response time so far for me. No issues with it at all. Cannot speak on BT as I do not use it but so far over the past several days everything seems to running really good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
I've used every nightly since 06/28 and find the 07/05 nightly the smoothest most trouble free rom so far. Flashed back from 07/09 and noticed the difference immediately. No reboots or screen flicker. BT would not turn on once requiring a reboot, but I don't use it much. May stay here for awhile, although I may try the Uber Kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Sslauncher for the win :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rafac24:
Downloading and installing 7/05 based on your recommendation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bdumch:
For the past few nightlies, randomly my device will become sluggish, the status bar will disappear, the lock screen will become unresponsive and the home capacitive button long press won't function. But it will work itself out after a time; sometimes it takes a few minutes but most of the time i have to force a reboot. Anyone else dealing with similar issues? I'm running the 07/09 nightly with the 3.0.85 Uber Kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truetek:
I face that too occasionally. I have OS Monitor app installed to track cpu usage and a life wallpaper that shows cpu usage as well...

Sometimes, right after waking the device (not necessarily unlocked yet), the cpu jumps to 100% and stays there for a bit, could be 15 seconds, could be 4 minutes, it's random... but the device gets really unresponsive, laggy, delayed, etc...

Strange thing is, the wallpaper indicates cpu at 100%, but OS Monitor cannot see anything, 0 processes, it's like it's been blinded...

I thought I saw a glimpse once of system.server or something at around 40% usage when the cpu was coming down from 100%...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
You know it!!! Have always ran apex or holo. Sslauncher this ROM and uber. Nothing slowing it down so far and i have tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
And changing animation speed in developer options to .5 really speeds the phone and launcher up :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Hey Jamie pm me :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sag7392:
Okay, I thought I was the only one having this issue. The last two Uber kernels and my device, just didn't get along. I have tried different nightly/kernel combos too. So I only use Uber 6/21 and everything works on each nightly I flash. I wish I knew why, but I can't pin down the issue. I'm currently on the 7/9 Carbon nightly with no issues so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
Thanks for letting me know. Never really messed with any of that stuff. Going to test it out. Thanks again.

Edit; Is that the Window Anim. Scale / Transition scale and Animator? Do I change them all? Sorry for the dumb question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Yes :)

Any news/updates/opinions regarding patching up Carbon for the recently discovered security exploits?

Exploit #1:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/07/10/cyanogenmod-10-1-1-stable-rolling-out-now-with-security-fixes-for-master-key-and-more/

Exploit #2:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/07/12/cyanogenmod-10-1-2-is-another-small-security-update-patches-second-master-key-apk-vulnerability/

I see CM10.1.1 and 10.1.2 have done small updates to patch those security concerns. Are we going to get a patch too since Carbon is based off of CM10.1? Or are we not affected for some reason?

I know it's a very specific vulnerability, and doesn't really apply to users who are careful/picky/smart about what they install in their phones, but I'm still curious :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
Thanks for that.

So it seems reading is the way to get stupid battery life.

I've tried clean installing the stable release three times tonight with different gapps each time (2 from Banks, have used them on all the nightlies previously without problem), and I get constant Black Screen of Deaths every time. I let Google restore my apps, as usual, and after my next reboot, guaranteed screen won't turn on. Tried pulling battery, wiping cache and dalvik, fixing permissions - nada. My phone will turn on, and if I keep the screen awake there is no problem. First time I let it go to sleep, though, no waky.

That's a quirk of android 4.2.x. But I think you can set it with tasker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fieldside:
Don't use the newer Triskster Mod, it will cause instability and will make your phone unbootable. Use older version of the mod such as 1.9.xxx or 1.8.xxx
