Why choose for CarbonRom?

CarbonRom is an AOSP based rom. It also gives you a great option of customization. Reasons to go for CarbonRom are:

- AOSP based, s no bloatware or other stuff

- Great Customization options

- Nice look

- HALO

- ...

Current Version

CarbonRom 2.0 is still in early stages, it's Android 4.3, but not all features are implemented!

I won't manually search for all new features, just wait for an official 2.0 changelog when it is completed.

- Android 4.3

- HALO

- DSP Manager

- New battery icons

- stability and speed enhancements

- a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.

What is CarbonRom?

CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.

Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.

We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.

Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, [MENTION=359497]FXP[/MENTION], and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.

While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.

Download Carbon

All Carbon downloads and further information such as features, changelog, and FAQ can be found here in the second post of this thread.

I'll continue building nightlies daily in the week, and sometimes also in the weekends. I'll post the download links here, but I'll also try to make some sort of easier way in the future when my rom is stable and I'll be officially part of the Team Carbon maintainers.

Support

1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.

2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our goo.im page linked above. It's new, but expanding fast. Just like us!

3) Ask a question here. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.

Who is the Carbon maintainer for your device?

For you guys, Xperia developer is me only, Krabappel2548. I'm the only one working for Xperia devices, maybe I'll add more devices to my support list soon. Any donations are highly appreciated, I'll always use them for my development, to buy new devices :)
