Can u add a feature to blacklist calls in the dialer settings if its posible i actually use it alot .. Other than that excellent rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Already has it ;)

Settings/Security/ and down at the bottom under Privacy guard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marscandybars:
excited about this. But a couple of things before I flash that I didn't see answered:

Does the front cam have 2megapixel capture or is it VGA?

Anyone successfully use HotSpot / wifi tether?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Current build only has QVGA and VGA BUT the build that will be posted later will have QVGA,VGA,WXGA, annnnd 2.1 megapixel for the front cam. And back cam will have more options also for pic size.

I dont use it, but a user reported it works on current builds while using dalvik instead of ART for runtime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gamepr:
The ROM is less jittery! :D

The keyboard force closes as soon as you start swiping words.

Good job!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dreamliner77:
Is this stable enough for a DD?

ExFAT support?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Yes.

And no. Using cm's jf kernel which ExFAT is a licensed and proprietary filesystem. CM can't legally include support it in their ROMs/kernels without paying Microsoft a licensing fee. But thats easily fixed by flashing another 4.4 kernel that has exfat support.

Adjusting auto brightness gives a fc on the previous release. I haven't tried today's, but since I see no one mention it, maybe it doesn't exist. It occurred when having auto brightness ticked, and pressing the settings gear on the right side of the brightness slider.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
Hmm, is it me, or does this new build disable ART? Even with a Philz "Install ROM" wipe, when I try to enable it, it reboots right back to Dalvik. That and a little trouble restoring apps from Titanium are forcing me to step backwards for the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
ART is working fine.

Wiping data or using that feature in Philz is pointless if you're just gonna restore data with tibu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
So noted. I thought I was having some trouble, probably because I was backing up system apps. I've since set up a filter to keep them out of the way. I'll try again when I get some time. Thing was, I was having the problems of Dalvik resetting BEFORE restoring with TB.

UPDATE:

Got everything working this time around. Just had to clean out one particular system setting that balked a restore. Now everything's back up and with ART running. Looking forward to more fun down the pipe.

UPDATE #2:

Figured out why Dalvik was resetting for me. It was the Xposed Framework. Apparently it's KK-compatible but not ART-comaptible yet; turning on the Framework turns off ART. Since I tend to enjoy GravityBox, looks like I'll stick to Dalvik for the time being.

UPDATE #3:

My apologies. Didn't you know you had customizations baked in. Not used to do a lot of digging through Settings.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] I Am The Frost:
Been working good here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] garets10:
Yea just flashed latest 12/04 and all is good just gunna cycle it couple times to really see the difference .. I cant see ur pic but how is battery life i came from gummy and it was bad.. Really bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] I Am The Frost:
It depends. I use KT with some UV tweaks. I'll get the work day out of it if I'm rough on it, if it sleeps most the day I have gotten 12 to 14 hours. Art is more battery hungry then delvik. And the pic was a screenshot of about phone 4.4 carbon with 12-4 ktoonz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cybervyrus8587:
Is it necessary to use pa gapps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
No its not. You can use any you like. That's just what I've been using
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
So dont know if anybody has noticed but Google back up hasnt been working as far as restoring apps and such automatically from the market after a fresh flash. And after trying multiple gapps and finding multiple people and actual devs with the same issue, people thought it was a bug in the Google source. Turns out it wasnt. A good interwebz friend, PlayfulGod, found out what the issue was from a person named arcee.

Turns out, nobodies gapp packages have GoogleBackupTransport.apk, so in the mean time for easy automatic restore of apps if you do full wipe

Push this to system/priv-app, wipe caches and reboot. Thank arcee for figuring it out.

I plan soon to get a full gapps package and removing everything (apps/libs/etc) carbon doesnt need, and removing apps that are easily found on the market and will add GoogleBackupTransport to it. But in the mean time, this "fix" will suffice.

And sorry for no nightly last night. Had family stuff to do but doesnt look like much was merged anyhow to suffice updating. Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wcoast:
Thanks mate, family first and know that 12/06 is solid stable, no issues, battery life is awesome and every APP I have tested runs smooth.

Request/Suggestion: is it possible to add FauxSound patch on kernel, if not, KT works and have FauxSound patch. Keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] atlharp:
Running 12/6, smooth as silk. No real issues (except finding the lockscreen controls- under security). KT 12/4 kernel running just fine and the phone seems to be handling battery life quite well. This looks to be a daily driver thus far. Keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nestoh:
The keyboard just hides after trying to use the swype feature for some reason? It doesn't FC, it just hides and won't popup after about a min.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
I think it's the gapps package. I keep forgetting to test the "theory" but will try to today or the next time I get to do a new build. Which somethings broken in the source not just my device tree and prevent a build.

is tethering still broken?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Never was. It just doesn't like ART too much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aujbman:
Speaking of tethering, could someone post what they do to get it to work? I tried doing it yesterday, was set to dalvik and not ART, but comp never would connect. Roomie left so for the rest of the month I need to rely on phone for internet and not be bothered by T-mobile about it. Any help would be great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] appledroid:
I did a clean flash from the 12/4 build to the 12/6 one, tethering works straight from the settings of the device.

Edit: If it makes any difference I am using the ktoonsez kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wcoast:
Should you flashed the MK2 by [MENTION=282778]Cynagen[/MENTION], you’re done, there’s no fix and if what T-Mobile tech guys are saying is true, you need a replacement phone from Samsung or you can kiss tethering good bye and enjoy random data drops. My replacement will arrive before 12/13 and good luck

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Has nothing to do with kernel, MK2 by [MENTION=282778]Cynagen[/MENTION] broke tethering for many
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aujbman:
I could try that kernel I suppose and see what happens. I can still use hotspot with Hotspot Shield Free and Wifi Tether TrevE Mod running like I'm doing now, but only for a certain amount of data and then have to wait 6 hours or so. I don't know why buy I've tried many non-Tmob roms to get native hotspot working again and had no luck. I will try to download that kernel and try again later.

Sorry for hijacking the thread with my hotspot troubles. I heard through other threads that if you wanted great native hotspot tethering that was not limited by T-Mobile, this was the rom to go to. Everything else looked good on it so I hope I can get this problem ironed out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1981cdl:
right there with you...my internet is down for a while...so the phone is taking the title for now....theres one rom that i have thats 4.4 based, its a really early build and tethering works but every update/new rom i've tried it either says error , or the computer wont load pages....anyway thanks for this i cant wait to try it out !

I used it like 15 days work my kids and used like 69 GB I'm with carbon KitKat 4.4 build 20131202 2008 and got to be with Dalvik not ART to make it work

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

I believe got to be an issue with Google I avoid using it at all try to be away from as long it got my all day apps with me I'm OK without Google but that's me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
What build are you on? I know 12/6 and prior had no issue because I rely on music at work and have music playing for at least 4 to 5 hours without issue and Ive been using Google play music.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bowmanspeer:
The latest. Just downloaded and installed this morning. Last weekend it was 2 other builds. All three times same issue. Google play music won't play my music at all and poweramp will play for a bit then quit. I said clean install via CWM wipe and format of internal system and SD. I'll keep playing around a bit. I can always go back to working 4.3 Carbon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] I Am The Frost:
So would now be a bad time to ask if anyone would be interested in testing an audio mod for carbon 4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wcoast:
12/07 is working almost 100% for me, Google music works, Zplayer works, Pandora works and YouTube works,

With FauxSound and ViPER4Android Add-on; sound is amazing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aujbman:
Ok, so, here's the deal. I tried it using dalvik and all I get is the T-mobile hotspot screen telling me I have exceeded my limit. This is the same for any and every non-Tmobile rom I have tried using native hotspot app. The only way I can get it to work is by using my DD Infamous 8.0 and use the Hotspot Shield app and the Wifi TrevE Mod to create the hotspot. Weird how the only rom that seems to work is the T-mobile one. I will just start a Q&A thread for this.

Thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Weird because Ive had no issues. If I did I wouldnt even be using the rom to be honest Ahaha Anyway you could do a log cat to see if possibly something is killing it? Also are you using Greenify or anything like that?

Post it up. If it works for people I'll add it and credit to the op. As long as it has to due with Carbon or this carbon rom I have no issue with people testing stuff with each other in the thread. Im not a thread nazi

Now thats weird. You shouldnt be seeing that tmobile screen at all when using a custom rom. I mean I dont even have tethering on my plan and can tether without issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aujbman:
That's what I'm saying! I have tried many different non-T-mobile roms and had the same results when trying to native tether.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wcoast:
You most have been trying TW ROMs, CM?AOSP is different
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aujbman:
I've tried this one, Dandroid, Infamous 4.4 Google Edition, and even ProBam just to see if it would work. Same results on each.

Did you flash MK2 modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] melqui2004:
Use the built in settings on Carbon KitKat nothing fancy or apps for tethering but after 500 MB it won't allowed me to use it for laptops only on tablets and ipods and smartphones it really works

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Not with the dailer included that I know of. It uses the aosp dialer and not the Google dialer which they differ a bit.

But you can get the Google Dialer from here and see how it works out.

I thought it weird too. I posted to find out what you all have made clear. No log produced. I'm back on 4.3 now. I'll take more care next time with what do.

Other than that, I've been using it as a DD the KT kernel, fantastic. :)

Im on 12/08 and using this IR Remote and IR works. I dont know if thats what you are using but it was just recently updated for Samsung devices running 4.4 What are you using for IR?

Tmos VM might not be fully compatible with kitkat.

You being embarrassed by your Justin Beiber ring tone is not my issue!....Im kidding... I can confirm mute by toggle works on 12/08. Not sure about the others. The volume rocker only turns the device down or on vibrate.

Thanks for everything

Edit: Yup, both those apps report that no IR blaster is installed. Interesting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
One I posted is made to work on just about all custom roms. It has superuser permissions in order for it too. So even if whatever rom youre on doesnt support IR blaster it'll still work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cynagen:
MK2 is NOT BY ME, I have posted credits to who has provided the work, I have only provided the complete guide. Also, I have had no problems with tethering or data, nobody has offered a complete picture of what their flashing history was on their devices to see if there's similarities.

ROMs are just as important as radios, i've found this out the hard way with my old LG Optimus 3D, I had ROMs crashing on me because I pushed the overclock too high while I had bluetooth and wifi on and it broke them entirely somehow. It does happen, and yes, flashing back to stock does not fix it. However, until you provide a full history of your device, don't be laying down blame on myself or anyone else. First off, you knew that things could go wrong here with flashing things like basebands and ROMs. Second, I've offered in my thread to help people if they provide me some information so we can get a COMPLETE INVESTIGATION going, but you failed to participate at all, then you go into other threads like this one, mention me, claim that I essentially broke your device, and proceed to complain further.

Yes, it was unfortunate that you device suffered from trouble that few others suffered, but that's happened throughout the history of XDA. "The devil is in the details" holds most true here when you're trying to resolve and/or prevent a problem.

For reference, I am using GoldenEye ROM 9.0.1 MJ5 International ROM based for my phone, KToonsez kernel, MK2 baseband, MDL LTE radio, no OC, no UV, and I have 0 problems, everything works as before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
I just going to post this in case of future responses because I can see it going somewhere,

Take it to PM or his thread if you have a response to [MENTION=282778]Cynagen[/MENTION] Im not a thread Nazi but dont kindly to bickering in my threads. Bottom line is nobody is responsible for anything you do. If you use somebody's work and it doesnt work out? That's still on you. You chose to use it, you chose to take the chance of something going wrong. Maybe you didnt follow directions maybe you did. Doesnt matter you as an individual chose to do whatever it maybe.

With that said, Im going back to being a bum and playing Black Ops :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
Love this ROM. Favorite CM kitkat variant that I've tried. No big issues thus far and battery life is pretty good as well.

Really love the Carbon Settings for statusbar & others.

Just a few questions here:

1. As atheos777 stated, Device Tunables doesn't seem to work. (FC on selection)

Is there a kernel that allows functionality for this setting menu? Or is it still in dev? (Just curious, not a pressing issue)

2. (Sorry if this is a dumb question) is there a reason there's no "kill app" option for custom button settings?

I just find it nice that in some ROMs I can kill an app I don't want running in background or I can repeatedly hold the designated kill button and clear out apps running in background quickly.

But if this adversely affects stability or if you think kitkat has a "smart" enough task manager then I'd understand leaving it out.

3. Also, is there a way to test the DSP manager EQ/settings in real-time? Didn't seem to have any effect for speakers when I changed the settings with pandora playing in the background.

But I will play around with different audio apps/headphone playback/restarting applications or device between settings changes and get back to you.

Anyway, thanks for all the work put into this ROM. Looks like it will be my daily if everything keeps running this smoothly and you continue to provide great sets of Interface options.

Thank you!! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Device tunables is waiting on something thats being worked on/test on Gerrit and hasnt been successfully patched (I thiink)

Kill app by long pressing the back button is under Developer tools at the bottom. You have to activate dev tools by going into your about phone section and tapping the Build Number numerous times then it will be visible in the settings main screen

DSP Manager is picky. I know it works well with Google Music. But know it doesnt work for all audio apps.

Glad you like it. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
Gotcha, thanks for the point in the right direction and I'll continue playing around with DSP and other ROM features.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] I Am The Frost:
