the rom feels now as smooth as the JB rom but there are some things keeping me away from it.

the browser is not the same as on JB. it does not save properly passwords and logins. i have to enter them always even when i pressed to save it. beside this it has some display issues with text. the text is often somehow bigger and i don't know why.

DPI is set to 230 but i could change to standard 240. no problem.

the wifi status icon and mobile data status icon is somehow missing the triangle traffic indicators? is this intended or a bug?

I just hope that the browser will be possible to fix. the JB browser is just perfect and every other browser is useless. still dont understand why google replaced it with chrome.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] radicspeter:
No! The stock browser is keep pasword and working good here.

Yes wifi indicators missing but there is an option to display network speed...

And there is a mobile data indicator.

I dont know what's the problem...

Clean install?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Stock browser does save passwords, my WiFi and data indicators are normal, my dpi is default what comes with the build,

If ur text is bigger try going into system, display, font size, adjust to ur preference,

I've not faced any problems with anything or any setting or option in ahh off these carbon builds, clean or dirty install,

I suggest u do a FULL clean install,

Enter CWM

1.wipe data/factory reset

2.wipe cache partition

3.enter advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache

4.enter mounts and storage menu format system, cache n data then format system data (internal sd card)

And try again, make sure you have the ROM file in your external sd card and ur chosen gapps file

i'm wondering.... carbon uses xposed framework (right???) and xposed is incompatible to art runtime. but i just read in one kindle forum, that somebody uses art with a carbon kitkat build.

maybe some one feels to try it here and report? i would like to try carbon but just if it has art. it makes big benefit for my battery life.

if nobody test i will give it a try next weekend. ... but would be also interesting for the dev thread here if art works or not.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
I'm using dalvik with Xposed framework, yes carbon does run art, in dev options select runtime, i personally can not test this because some of my apps will stop working but you can test

^^ its strange that this was removed. dont know. only used wifi for test. and sorry but the browser is not keeping passwords. at least not on mypolonia.de.

i always make a factory reset before flashing. the text is not bigger due to system settings. it seems that the browser has changes in the render engine and is differently intepreting css/text in div containers. there are several websites where the text is abnormally big. i don't know why. i can make next time screenshots if you dont believe me.

I'm looking for an app like "screen off WiFi off" basically it turns off WiFi when you turn or when your screen goes off, so no background data, I've found a few on play store but none compatible with KitKat ROMS, was using previously on jb, it's another way to enhance battery life, if someone knows of any I'd really appreciate the share, thanks.

Hi,

I use Android Tuner Free :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at.free

Has *a lot* of options to configure and tweak the kernel, system, phone, etc.

Going to the point, you can configure one profile to apply at boot, and you can indicate there what to do when screen is off (eg: wifi off, bt off, data off, change governor, etc etc)

Hope it helps !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] vriz27:
go to wifi settings,press menu button and select "advanced" . there is an option (i think it's the second one) which says "keep wi-fi on during sleep" , and select what you want. i believe that you don't need a separate app for this;)

First: Thanks to OP, for making Carbon Rom available on S4 Mini! :good:

For me BLN Control Free is not working at all. I had softtouch button backlight disabled through carbon fibers -> buttons. But enabling it did't help.

I just installed the latest rom and did a full wipe (reset, cache and dalvik)

could someone tell me if BLN works with disabled button backlight for them? that would be awesome. i dont need the buttons to be lit when i use my phone. and i am happy to save every tiny bit of my battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] 96DANGER96:
See the schedule in the BLN app, maybe it has been disabled by the schedule
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neustadt:
good guess. but the schedule feature is for the pro version only.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] 96DANGER96:
Ah, sorry.

Download Aptoide and download Pro Version there, and try with the Pro :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Flatric:
But buy it legaly if it's good^^
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neustadt:
well, it doesnt make sense to me, that it would work with the pro version. but i would rather pay 1€ than downloading from "warez infested gimp haven" as someone said here on the forums. we all have +200€ smartphones but cant pay one buck for software that makes our phones so much better? comon..

on the other hand i really dislike the fact that i can only pay via credit card :( but this is getting off topic...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jake3317:
[MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION], first of all, thanks for your work every week to port a fresh Carbon KK to our phones! The same for your work on the kernel side of things.

With 162Mhz as lowest frequency and an overall uV of 100mV I have now with the latest Carbon version and 1.3.6 kernel amazing battery life: after 50hrs of running I still have 54% remaining. OK, I am a light user, but I wasn't able to reach this level of battery usage before.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] volksieboi:
So i'd also like to improve my battery life by making use of the "Performance" settings menu, but I'm terrified of breaking something :o

Could someone assist.

I use my phone mainly for texting and browsing. and the odd bit of Clash of clans...

what settings would be good/ideal to improve battery life ?

Thanks in advance and apologies for the noobness :o
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neustadt:
on average usage the most battery is drained from the display. tweaking its (auto) brightness can do a lot.

the next step could be choosing a different CPU Governor under the performance settings. If you are using faktion kernel, there are more governors to choose from than grains of sand in my choose when i was at the beach.

A lot of them are explained in this thread Personally I use SmartAssH3. A lot of people recommend SmartAss and I haven't had any trouble with the roms I used it with. (Super JB Rom and now Carbon Rom). If you want to be careful you can leave "set on boot" unchecked.

Setting your minimal CPU clock to 162 is also save.

[MENTION=5743006]jake3317[/MENTION]

I cant find uv settings. did you use an extra app for undervolting?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Flatric:
I use the app Kernel tweaker to Do this, but if i lower the voltage more than 150 my Device shuts down
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neustadt:

I'm using the nightly version of carbon uploaded on March 9. I see there's a new update on March 15. What's new on this update and when will a stable release of this ROM will come out? Even though is a nightly, I have no problems at all, been using it for a while and I'm really satisfied. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] charliebigpot:
Change log is on the first page, see http://carbon-rom.com/changes/ and asking for ETA has never really helped anyone ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] vriz27:
the truth is that "stable" or "nightly" or whatever, is just a word. this rom works flawlessly for over three weeks and i can't think anything more stable than this. full of features and customisations. good work F4K!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jake3317:
My only issue with both the 9 and 15 March release is that after a couple days the automatic light adjust function doesn't work properly anymore. When I go to the 'adjust' settings of the auto brightness menu, I see that the current light sensor value is only 9lux, instead of daylight values. A reboot fixes this, but still...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] vriz27:
I really can't tell something about this because I always use manual brightness.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Tirofog:
Try Automateit.. used it on jb, ics and now kk.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jake3317:
Another option is Llama that can be downloaded from the Playstore. It has quite a steep learning curve, but it has endless solutions.

For instance, I have also set to disable wifi and data during night hours, except... when I turn on the screen during these hours AND when I am at home, then it will turn wifi back on. The phone will check until morning every 30 minutes and will turn wifi off again, only when the screen has been of for 30 minutes.

and so on, and so on. OK, one more: when the phone connects with the bluetooth of my car, it will make a sound, letting me know that it succeeded. When the car is turned off (and so the car bluetooth), the bluetooth of my phone will turn off 5 minutes later, enough for filling up the gastank, pay and hit the road again (car bluetooth is on, which disables the 'turn off'' command of the phone bluetooth)

There are many automation apps on PlayStore, and I've tested almost all.

For the last 2 years, I've been using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.gridvision.ppam.androidautomagic.

It is far easier to use than any other apps on the market because of its visual conception, and yet it is the most complete solution in terms of capabilities (on par with Tasker, and beyond all others).

Give it a try ;o)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] asdfghgjkl:
Firstly I would like to thank [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] by this magnificent Rom.

In the second place, and if someone could help me, I had two small problems:

1-Camera: when changing storage from internal to the SD card the camera force close. Is There any solution to this problem?

2-Ghost files: on CWM wipe data/factory reset;wipe cache partition;enter advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache; enter mounts and storage menu format system, cache n data then format system data. Installed latest build ROM and when i went to file explorer, my old data folders were there... After all the wiping and formating isn't it suposed to be cleared?

Once again congratulations to [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] for all is hard work. Its the best ROM I've tried.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OmegaRED^:
With the kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] thejester123:
Yeah, the kernel gives much better battery life and cpu speed values. I only underclock my cpu never overclock it so i get longer battery life ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jake3317:
Thanks for the suggesting. I have the app running on my phone at the moment. Unfortunately it has the same problem as Llama, the cell tower information is not updated unless the screen is turned on. Also with this app 'Automagic Premium' it doesn't help to 'wake' the phone, or to 'force an update'. Only 'turn screen on' works.

Can other users of the Carbon Rom op de i9195 confirm this?

I have asked the question already on the Google+ community of the Carbon ROM site itself. The 'Carbon' response is to post in this forum since they don't officially support our device. It would be really, really great is the 'location awareness' function of these kind of apps work properly. My old Huawei Y300 4.1.2 had no trouble to update cell tower info in deep sleep.

You can backup ur data using titanium, i meant clean cache n data from the keyboard only, I forgot to try that I just flashed clean then restored my apps n data using titanium, but as long as Swiftkey is ok for u no problem btw have u tried Swype?

First off great rom runs very smoothly and fast. Only problem I get rarely is I have had the camera app crash on me once or twice, with Murphy's law ensuring that the once or twice always seems to occur for me at the worst possible timing (like when trying to show case custom android roms off to someone who owns an iPhone (aaarrrgggghhhh the smug comments nearly killed me) :silly: Thats murphys fault though and it has really hardly ever happens.

Quick question what is the difference between the kernel included in the rom (by F4K) and the alternate (F4K kernel you can download) I'm guessing they probably the same and the download is basically for ppl who want F4k kernel on other roms right???

Oh finally just been reading the changelogs from carbon nightlies and noticed they mentioned a memory leak fix done post the latest update we have available for our device. Anyways hope we get an update soon.

Keep up the excellent work and extra thanks to F4k this rom is amazing works brilliantly and is almost entirely bug free.

Hi Guys

I noticed a bug this weekend with the Dialer/Phone

At times when attempting to make a call, the dialer shows "dialing" but there is no sound. The call connects, still no sound. As soon as i hang up, the phone reboots. After the reboot, the problem seems to have disappeared.

This happened thrice over this past weekend. As I hardly make calls and rely more on messaging, I didnt notice it untill now. I havent been able to replicate the bug.

Anyone else experienced this?

My hint to donate a phone to the Carbon team, is based on their statement on their website:

Besides donating a phone to the Carbon team, I think F4k won't turn a donation down for his efforts in this topic and work on the kernel development ;)

Edit:

Although I am craving for a new release as well, but I am happy to see the Carbon changelog and think "good that we don't have our weekly yet, at least these improvements will be implemented as well"

Second thought: we find 2 weeks a LONG time to wait, all the other poor people with standard ROM's never receive updates from the big boys.
