Carbon JB [4.3.1.] Unnofficial for the Galaxy Ace II (Codina)

I take no resposibility if something will go... not as it supposed to. The responsibility for potential damages caused by installing or using of this ROM is Yours, and Yours only!

My ROM is released „as is” – you don’t like it – don’t use it.​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important!

Any Galaxy Ace II ROM based on Android 4.2.x+ has to be installed over Android 4.1.x+ (stock ROM, CM-like customs). You will need custom recovery (temporary one is good enough)

It is strongly recommended to make a backup before installing of ANY ROM!

As it could be my final version of Carbon ROM (and maybe my last Codina’s public ROM ever), I want to add few words…

I’m pretty sure that [MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION] – our main device sources maintainer - deserves for a special thanks. I watched your progress – starting from “simple” theming You became our local hero:), learning fast. I believe that the knowledge You achieved playing with our Samsung Galaxy Ace II will help you to find “a job from your dreams” in your mature life (do not hurry;)). I’m aware that without Your work I just couldn’t “get” Carbon (or Chameleon OS, or whatever) in current state. So once again – thanks for Your contribution!!!

To do list:

· Fixing Carbon Fibers FC’s after turning phone on

· Additional polish translation (other languages, maybe?**)

· Adding mobile data indicator arrows

** If you have free time and want to add your language translation to system apps – feel free to contact me.
