You can try this one, it seems to work partly (whatever that means) also with the S4 Mini.

wow

A big huge thanks to all the creators of this version for this device! I've been using CM10.1.3, since it's officially been released prior I was using nightly builds, I got bored of it and started looking around, there's not much out there for this device, managed to find this thread, so glad I did, never used carbon before, I've tried other roms on other devices but never carbon, I must say this is a beauty and a beast!

My mini device had never felt so smooth before! Just flashed it today, the latest December build! Works amazingly, everything seems ok, will need done more time to play around, please keep building releases for this! Love this rom, I also downloaded slim bean which I've used before on another device, glad I flashed carbon first! I'm staying on this baby!

Thank you to all the developers for inputting your mind together to create a nice piece of rom for this device, which I do feel had been left behind slightly but anyway! Subscribed!

external sd issues

Love this rom, been using it since yesterday, few bugs, firstly the most annoying is my external sd card keeps unmounting itself, it's happened maybe 13 times in the last 24 hours using this rom version, it's an official Samsung pro 64GB! Any solutions? Please help,

Another issue in the settings, carbon fibres, device turntables is an empty black menu, ?

Otherwise great, much smoother and faster than my previous CM10.1.3

64gb cards seem to have issues with multiple samsung phones.

You can try formatting the card, using a proper windows/linux tool, in Ext4. You could try fat32 as well even though it's not ideal for that size.

If that doesn't solve it, tell the store or manufacturer it's defective.

Yes, the device tunables is empty.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Thanks for your quick response, I'll try formatting it again, it's sdxc do it's default exFAT, if it fails again I'll have to go back to my 32GB, but saying this I've been using this card in CM10.1.3 for several months, never had this issue before, only happened soon after flashing this rom, and how comes the device turntables are empty? Are they supposed to be?

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

im formatiing it now using minitool, formatting into ext4, will test and report back, if fails then will try fat32, hopefully one of the two options should work, if not i will have to use my 32gb for now
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
NO LUCK

ok just to report back, formatted the card using minitool, once again it failed with exFAT and ext4, so now im doing it into FAT32 which i know will work, but saying this my previous custom rom cm10.1.3 had no issue reading my 64GB samsung pro sdxc card, so definitely at this moment in time this current latest carbon rom does not fully support exFAT formatted cards, which is not an issue for anyone with 32GB cards or less, people over 32GB cards will have to format their card into FAT32 file system.

hopefully in the future updates maybe it can enable support for exFAT cards :)

thanks for the advice and help, thanks for an amazing ported rom!

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

I can confirm it now works fine, so for all those using external sd cards over 32GB make sure you format it first into fat 32 file system, to do this you can use a simple application called mini tool partition, insert your card into your computer, backup your data on the card, open mini tool, select the drive of the sd card, mine was E, then press delete on the tab menu, then apply, then create, select primary, fat32, cluster size 32kb, then ok, and that's it! Make sure you carefully check the drive before doing this, make sure you select your sd card and not the hard drive of your computer!

Looking forward to more updates on this rom, very smooth, no force closes, no crashes, no bugs as of yet, my previous rom my device would randomly reboot itself! But was so used to using CM10 mainly because it was my first ever custom rom, but now truing this, doubt I'll ever go back lol!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jamus28:
Glad it works for you now. Strange that exfat isn't working. Arco added kernel support for it back in november. From googling, it just seems that CM + samsung phone + 64gb sdcards are causing issues.

When you tried Ext4, did the phone not detect it at all? I'm using ext4 on my 16gb right now.

You could also give NTFS a shot if you care about experimenting.

Regarding updates, everyone's moved over to kitkat, so don't expect many. Arco did make some changes to the power profiles and he updated the graphics drivers since December 2nd. I personally switched over my building to cm10.2, so if you want those changes, you'll need to wait for proxuser or download an unofficial nightly of CM10.2.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Thanks

Yup ext4 didn't detect at all! I've been using exFAT fine with CM10 only this rom it didn't work, I was using CM10.1.3 which is 4.2.2, no problems with my exFAT card, then I tried CM10.2.0 which is android 4.3.1 but it felt sluggish, slow and I wasn't enjoying it, was considering flashing back to CM10.1.3 but wanted to try something else, find this thread and your December post of the rom, so flashed it, love it, not willing to go back to CM10 anytime soon now! Will consider moving to KitKat but only an official release and when more apps support 4.4 roms! I'll wait for updates on this particular rom, current version or any later 4.4 release, also downloaded slim bean port just for backup as I've tested them before and liked it also, I've tried liquid smooth which is also very good, I've tried aokp several versions but don't like it, screen always flickers, that rom might be a favorite of many but for me it's the least. Anyway, thanks for your replies and builds, hope to see more from carbon, hopefully get an official version soon!

Not many official roms for this device which is a shame because it's a nice little device!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Somethings not right with this rom, it's smooth and everything but functionality for apps is becoming a pain, for example I've been using dropsync, but now with this rom it's saying storage/emulated/0 must be writable and have at least 32MB? So basically the app doesn't work now! I've tried changing permissions for that destination with root explorer but it's not allowing me to do so! So what's the deal here? Also my other app ninja morph doesn't run anymore, similar message comes up! Any suggestions? What shall I do? Please help
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jamus28:
Emulated/0 and sdcard0 are the internal storage. Those apps aren't looking the right place. Seems like the symlinks are messed up. You shouldn't be changing permissions on those. I don't know much about that though. Did you format your data or internal storage AFTER flashing the rom? That can mess those up. Also, I hope in your previous experiments you didn't try formatting internal storage using a windows program.

If yes, you need to try formatting the storage (data/media and internal storage or whatever it says) from recovery and reflashing the rom zip, but don't wipe anything afterwards.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
I'm pretty sure I only wiped data before flashing the rom, I don't recall wiping anything after but it was Christmas day, I'm not 100% sure, usually I don't, so pretty certain I never did, just the usual wipe data dalvik then flash rom, previous experiments I only reformatted my external sd card! I'm just going to flash over again tomorrow, because everything is normal, no force closes or crashes just some user apps are playing up, but to be on the safe side I'll flash over again tomorrow, sorry for this nuisance, thanks for your kindness and time and replying, much appreciated

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

Come to think of it I'm 100% sure I didn't wipe data after flashing the rom, it's something I never do, I clearly remember now, I created a backup of current rom, then used rom manager to flash the files! So everything is flashed normal, will not flash over just yet, will see how the apps play out, uninstalling them then reinstall, if same problems persist then I'll flash over again and if after that it happens again then I'll try slim bean rom, as I'm not so keen going back to CM just yet, wish there were more roms for this device to play around with, for now I'll see how it goes, n try finding solutions for this system error issues
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jamus28:
Ah so you used ROM manager app. When you try again, use recovery to do everything, including formatting your internal Sd, system, and data/media. I just dont trust apps for flashing. Good luck. I'm now invested in you getting everything sorted.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
I've got cwm recovery installed, which is part of rom manager, but I'll do it your suggested way tomorrow, doing it that way, the way you suggested will basically delete everything on my internal storage right? So it will start again full fresh no folders or data from previous apps? Also just now I went to settings and display, keeps saying system ui has stopped and closes down! It was working fine yesterday, anyway hopefully after doing what you say should be ok, so in this case I should put the rom and gapps file in my external storage right then format? Which is factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache right? After doing this I install the rom followed by gapps then reboot? Isthisis correct way? Thanks for your support, highly appreciated!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
No joy

I did what you said, stl getting the same error, but now more buggy, this navigation bar keeps coming on, even when I've turned it off, my lockscreen it's out of place, the navigation bar has taken over it won't go away even if I've disabled it, getting annoying now, really not enjoying this! Gonna flash again, this time I'll restore my previous rom of CM10 then try again fresh your way, if problem persists I'll have no choice but to move on, I'm willing to give slim bean a go too, otherwise it's back to CM10 :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
few errors

The more I play with this, the more I find out, screen density on this rom is 240, but default the S4 mini screen density is 256, so that's something all the users might wanna do, it has flaws re mounting system for some root apps! Like ninjamorph pro, oddly the free version works but obviously doesn't hold the benefits of a pro version, my overall review, if your a gamer regular userthangreat rom, but if your a modder who plays around within apps and does more complex stuff then it's ok but not fully functional, overall, it's a nice change, you'll use it for a few months until something else comes along, and to be honest even with the flaws I still prefer it over CM10!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jamus28:
None of these things should be problems, nor did I have any of your described issues when running this ROM. It just sounds like youre retaining data between wipes and the flash is corrupted.

You didnt mention formating /system and data/media which you should try since everything is so corrupted.

Now we'll go back to basics, did you download the right version of the rom (i9195?) Are you using the right gapps for android 4.3 and not 4.4?

Anyways I'm not sure I can help you more. Sorry!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
yup

yup, everything is correct, correct device, correct gapps, incorrect gapps would keep flashing up and not enable acces to device i did it before but only from goomanager they linked me the incorrect gapps and i didnt bother checking, but that was on another device lol, i followed everything your way, wipe cache/wipe partition, wipe dalvik cache, format system media, wiped everything then flashed, its cool dont worry, im using titanium backup but only to restore apps and not data from the apps, so starting fresh, its unofficial rom, so will be some flaws here and there,

by the way i installed the latest rom which you provided in your post linked to dev-host.

thank you though for your time and giving me additional advice, grateful for the help, im gonna stay on this for a while, il workaround the flaws, soon it will be kitkat time lol :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
My bad

Hey, sorry my mistake,I was just reading sine thread about the screen density, my mistake, 256 is STOCK density, I went back to the default of 240 HDPI, finally managed to control the nav bar and the lock screen, everything seems in working order now, I don't mind sacrificing a few apps, dropsync now works,I cleared cache and data uninstalled cleaned residue and reinstalled, finally can say everything works, and I'm really sorry for being a pain in the back side, thanks for your patience,

I would love to try this ROM on my newly purchased GT-I9195 (I9195XXUBMJ7) but I'm having trouble rooting it. What is the best/easiest way of rooting my device?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Search "GT-I9195 root" there's a thread by Arco, that's possibly the easiest way to root, I used that method back in August, working fine still, be sure to check you have all the correct files before attempting to flash, make sure in your device settings under developer options user debugging is ON!

You said your having trouble rooting it, what have u tried already and what troubles you had? You can always search xda or Google about 90% of the time a solution is always available.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Agge_:
Thanks for your quick reply. I tried the method described in the thread you linked to (however didn't have USB debugging on, would that matter?), but didn't get root. However voided my warranty :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Trust me, turn it on and try again, it's essential to have it on otherwise it won't root the device

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Agge_:
Thanks! I tried it with USB debugging on but exactly the same outcome. It keeps poppoing up "Titanium/Greenify/2X Battery has been granted superuer permission for an interactive shell" and they never stop popping up. Like every 10 seconds. And Titanium stays on "Asking for root rights..."

Hmm.. anyone got any suggestions? Thhanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
So it's granted you super user root access, make sure you have only one supersu app installed, open the app, clear log, grant the app su permissions, those pop up messages will go away, I had the same issue one before, this solved it for me, you can also check this app called root validator, make sure you have busybox binaries installed also

Sent from my GT-I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Agge_:
When opening the SuperSU app it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" and when pressing continue it says

"If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, thath can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary? . Normal or TWRP/CWM"

I tried pressing the TWRP/CWM before, but that just booted up in CWM-mode, but nothing happened. And when trying the normal option it tries to download but pretty quickly says

"Installation failed" Please reboot and try again."

Doesn't help to reboot and try again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Long press the app for app info then clear cache and data and uninstall it then reinstall it and click normal then reboot then open it after your reboot, the pop ups should go away, are you on stock rom?

Sent from my GT-I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Agge_:
Thanks! How do I uninstall and reinstall it again, from the Play store or through CWM?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Play store should be ok, but did you flash the zip and it was already on there? Then it's a system app and you'll only be able to disable updates, get a root explorer or root file manager and remove it manually if it's a system app, then reboot then reinstall from play store, the location of the apk is /system/app, but this is only if it's a system app, long press the app see if it allows you to uninstall it or just disable updates, if only shows to disable updates then do the above

Sent from my GT-I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Agge_:
Wohoo! Did it all over again and this time also installed the latest superSU version right after flashing the mini rootkit zip.

Thanks for your help!!!

This ROM is very beautiful but I keep having the same problem with this, I've flashed it 3 times after minor occurring errors, everything works for maybe 2 days, my main issue is when I go to system settings and click display, I get the message sorry settings had stopped! So on my last flash I assisted the display to my liking as I knew at a later point I won't be able to access it,

Has anyone else had this issue with the display option?? I'm using the December 2nd build, I'm now actually considering the build before this and see how that goes, if issues persist I'll have no choice but to switch, my next choice and trial would be slim bean, if that has issues also I'll try the stable CM10.2 if I don't like it then I'll most possibly go back to CM10.1.3 stable, until CM11 release a stable version also...

Sigh... After flashing Carbon JB (latest version) and everything seemed fine I restored some 50 apps + data with Titanium. After the restoration I rebooted as Titanium suggested but after the reboot I keep getting this message:

"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"

When pressing OK it takes one second then it appears again. Tried to boot up in recovery and wiped dalvik and cache, but no change.

Someones got any idea?

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Yes, avoid restoring system apps and data because those are made for your previous rom, whichever ROMS data that is, ours made for that ROM, so will crash force close and only cause problems if you restore previous ROM system apps onto a new ROM.

Camera flash not working with ROM camera

Hello,

I installed this ROM on my S4 Mini LTE. Everything works fine, also the torch, which is using the flash light.

My main problem is, that the flash is not working in the camera app. The flash symbol is greyed out.

The flash is working with a seperate camera app which I installed via androidpit app store. (I did not install google apps at all :cowboy: )

Do others also have the problem with the flash?

I saw, that the camera app has also problems with CM11 on this phone, or vice versa :o

Apart from that the ROM is really nice to use, big thanks!!:good:

I have a deep mistrust to google. I installed f-droid as app-"store", which is doing quite fine. Some developers offer their software apart from Google, like Softmaker for their office tools. I do have a good feeling about that. One of the main reasons for using a ROM apart from Samsung's ROM is, that I want to get rid of Google tools.

I do have some problems with missing software (like drivenow), some games are not there, but I can bear with that.

Why do you think that the Google tools are needed? Is there a deeper reason, like better function? or is it just usability?

Wish you a blessed Sunday!

Can't close all runnings apps at once - sometimes!

Hey,

I've been running CarbonJB since I found it back in September I think. And it works really well so thank you for this. :)

However - yeah, there's always a but - occasionally I can't close all apps at once, when I long-press the home soft-botton. The "clear-all" function in the lower right corner while running the list is simply gone. (See enclosed screenshots)

Anybody else been experiencing this?

You have to go into some settings and change the posittion of the clear all button, I was running this rom for a while but faced many issues so I'm no longer on it, I was on the unofficial version for my device.

I can't remember exactly where on the settings this option is, it's near the top, maybe carbon? Or visual tweaks, keep sliding to the right, I'm sure it's near the qs tile layout option.
