Using Carbon for the first time, running great so far. I know stuff is still being fixed but is anyone else having trouble with "Device Tunables" turning up blank? I'm on nightly 2/5 w/ Ktoonz. Everything else is working great as far as I can tell.

5 GHz Wifi

Hey guys! Not sure if this is just me or if it has been addressed already but I have a dual band Asus Router that uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. On previous touchwiz roms my download speed for the 5 GHz would be able to get around 60+ Mbps but now I'm lucky to break 20 Mbps.

I can connect to both just and sometimes the 2.4 GHz band gets better download speeds. Is there a configuration that I'm not doing so I can get the true speeds for the 5 Ghz back? :(

Also I'm not really sure when it started to happen but I'm on the 2/05 Nightly, clean flash and stock kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
I've never seen anything higher than mid 20's on mine, I don't know what to tell you. I don't think you can compare this with TW roms at all, they aren't even the same android version.

On a side note if you aren't on the carbon rom update list, they are moving to a better server so there won't be any downloading until this weekend, but it'll be back up and faster once they're done.:good:

How To

until now I still have not been lucky, still error when flashing this rom,

1. back to the stock rom 4.3 T999VVLUEML2, rooting, flash latest Recovery dan flash this rom is not lucky

2. replace the stock baseband from VLUEML2 to VLUEMK5,

3. flash latest CWM (Philtouch, TWRP, CWM) is still error when try flash rom.

4. but if I flash another rom 4.4 (hellkat and Benstalk) were all normal.

what causes it, what i'm mistaken, ..what is lacking... can you give me advice

sorry for my stupid, and lazy to learn.....

Thank you in advance for your help :angel:

Latest build freeze and RR with DKP kernel i will try with stock kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JustZaphod:
I dirty flash all the time, unless I'm flashing a new Version such as 4.1 to 4.3.. ETC...

I'm on the latest nightly and it feels much better that the previous, snappier...

And since I disabled Pocket mode.. Battery life is reasonable..

It is good to do a clean flash every month or so, but for the most part its not necessary...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
I'm aware but it's just a habit. A long, tedious, annoying habit lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JustZaphod:
You can streamline it with Titanium Backup. First back up User Apps, then create an Update.zip..

Once you flash the rom, then the Gapps, flash the Update.zip and your good to go..

Just be sure your on the same version of Android.. like don't flash a 4.1 on a 4.3 or 4.4.. Needs to be the same version..

Makes everything much faster..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LordPhong:
This is only true of your update.zip is less than 2GB. TWRP will crap on you if you try to restore from a larger file. This is due to the 32bit integer they use for zip file size.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JustZaphod:
Never had that problem yet.. I hope I don't..

But I keep backups of backups of backups..

I keep a Meenova Micro USB Dongle on my keychain with a 64 gig micro SD card with plenty of backups, and Titanium backups..

My S3 has a 128 gig micro SD with my ENTIRE music library.. Hence the need for the Dongle.... I could restore my phone within mins... with little effort.. and work from there.. Once a week I make a Nandroid backup..

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
hmmm, how hard would that be to convert my S3 file system to F2FS without loosing data (backup before format, then restore afterwards)? As I see TWRC already supports it, would Carbon ROM work normally on F2FS formatted partitions?

My only goal is to make my phone a bit faster, and f2fs might be the option.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
F2FS on TWRP is buggy from what I've heard. Use Philz. This thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2913347

Will also help you get started. This seems to be the method to get F2FS working. Haven't tried it myself but will once I get my new laptop set for Odin.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Thanks! I already tried latest TWRP, but it didn't give me option to change format to f2fs at all, only ext2/3/4 and Fat, hmmm ... maybe if I erased partition (data and cache) first then it would, not sure.

will try Philz. oh by the way, give a shot to app called Flashify, allows for flashing recovery images, boot images and ZIP package files from within android, no need for Odin (unless you are recovering a brick or rooting phone for the first time) or even going to Recovery too often :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en

It allows automatic download of latest TWRP, doesn't do that yet for Philz, but author says it will in next version :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
awesome! Carbon Team started working on Lollipop 5.0 framework!

https://carbonrom.org/on-to-sweeter...l&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

There is a few downsides to that however regarding Kitkat (no more new features, only stability improvements when needed), also it looks like entire Carbon ROM is pretty much put on freeze until 5.0 is ready to get tested out publicly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:

Google Maps

Anyone having trouble with google maps? When I'm using maps the directional arrow has trouble locking on and spins around like crazy then the apps crashes.

I've tried clearing the cache, didn't work. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled, no go. I have also tried using 3rd party apps like GPS status and FasterGPS. Any suggestions you guys can recommend?

I am also on the lastest nightly 2/9 and did a clean install.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ppgregory:
Just checked. Maps seems to be fine. Maybe Location setting?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] This_dude:
Yeah location settings seem to be fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ivoe:
how do you use developer options an such? dont see it in settings.. so that means not art?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
google "enable developer options in kitkat" or something similar.

For the GPS issue, not sure but you might need to flash a touchwiz rom and follow the steps for fixing GPS signal and then flash back to this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SmokeRob:
Under settings, go to About Phone. You'll see a line near the bottom with the title "Build Number". If you tap that line about 7 times it will enable developer mode then the "Developer Options" will show up under settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] This_dude:
Bad upload?

So the most recent nightly (2-10) is only 65.6 Mb. On the G+ page someone suggested it's probably a bad upload, anyone try flashing it already?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] This_dude:
GPS

The Touchwiz gps fix is typically used for when you don't get a GPS signal at all but went ahead and tried it anyway. When I was on the touchwiz rom everything worked great, my location was pretty accurate and the direction was pointing right. Didn't get to test it while moving because I'm at work but I'm sure it would have been fine since it was already looking better then on Carbon.

So I went ahead and did another clean flash of Carbon 2-9 nightly and it still is pointing the wrong direction. If I'm facing north it shows west, if i'm west it shows north, if I'm south it shows east and if i'm east it shows south. Seems like with Carbon the gyroscope is all jacked up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
You've tried other gps apps as well? When you where on the TW rom did you enter the code that resets the sat info? From this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2211690

I'm out of ideas after that, sorry. It's workng well on mine and I'm pretty sure if this was a widespread rom problem other people would be reporting t as well.

Not sure it would make any difference at all but have you tried other kernels?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Synthetic.Nightmare:
When cm unified all the d2 boards in-kernel, they based it all on the verizon vzw files. This doesn't entirely work too well on certain d2 boards. I think ktoonsez has a possible fix as this has been addressed in his kernel thread, but I'm not sure as to how complete it is. There seems to be more changes in that aspect than what is accounted for in the commit (though I could be wrong, but I don't have all the d2 board revs to test and account for)

Call UI

So I'm on the latest nightly (2-24) and one thing I noticed is that when I recieve a phone call and the non-intrusive call UI pops up, there are two sets of answer and decline buttons.

Also when I add the screen shot toggle and try to adjust the settings for it, the toggle setting won't stick.

Edit: So it looks like it's a result of changing my DPI so it fixes itself if I put it back to defualt (320dpi). It does still show double if i am in landscape mode though.

Hi guys, loving this new nightly rom, its mostly stable I'm running 03/02/2014.

The camera app keeps on crashing, app goes black and disconnects from camera.

The use of front camera causes reboot.

I'm not sure if this is a area for feature request but these phones have been able to record video at high bitrate. Any way of reintroducing this feature in the camera app?

Thanks for the great rom!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jdatb:
Been using this ROM since coming from Beanstalk. Really like it so far. I have a few observations/questions though, and I'd love to know if maybe there are answers.

1. AOSP Keyboard force closes when I try to use the Gesture typing. It works fine when I type normally but when i start a "swipe" it crashes.

2. The non-intrusive incoming call is too dark. It's hard to see the text of the phone number which is calling against the black background. Anyway to make the text lighter?

3. The Active Display didn't work as I expected. I thought it would have the same "breathing" that the Moto X does, that is, the display would breath on and showing the black background and the clock/notifications. Is there a way to enable this?

Other than that, a very fast, featurefilled, and smooth ROM. Again, if anyone has answers to my 3 problems, help is much appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CarbonROM:
To fix the keyboard crash, download a different/updated gapps and voila!

Not really sure about the other two at the moment.

Hi so i was using the latest nightly and everything has been working fine. today i started using google maps and the phone was getting unusually warm and the battery started draining pretty fast and then my entire cell service goes away including data. now it says emergency calls only. i put other sim cards in my phone and they don't work. i put my sim in other phones and it still works so im thinking the problem is the sim card reader. does anyone know how i could fix this at all? or is it completely gone? Please reply ASAP. thanks
