[MENTION=5011036]New Macław[/MENTION] Please update the ROM to fix the clock bug. I think it's more important than lollipop.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
That is what you think, alot of other users wont agree with you :)

Beside, are you using stock kernel or another one? since i'm using carbon i never ever experienced a clock freeze :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] honeyx:
That´s sad but true. Many prefer another buggy ROM just because it´s newer that will be dropped anyway unfinished one day for another newer ROM. Rather than bringing at least one ROM to final stage there are getting released tons of variations and once a new project is getting started all the other older ROMs are just becoming called bugfree. That´s the strategy here.

However I have to admit I never had a clockfreeze with Carbon compared to pure CM11 though both are using the same Kernel ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mydonose:
Does someone knows a battery mod for this great rom?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Brachacz:
Try Greenify and/or Amplify, both require xposed. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
I see your point but I think that carbon and other kitkat ROMs should be brought to final stage before they are left like jellybean ROMs. Lollipop will be very buggy at the beginning so it won't be suitable for daily use, only for testing. So we need a stable ROM until lollipop is stable. Also I have installed dual boot between carbon and CyanogenMod 4.3 just to use the alarm so I think that clock is something very important for many people in the phone. And finally it's not so difficult to update carbon but I think Mac is busy to provide the newest version first so he has no time :(

§ how do you set the location toggle (high accuracy/battery saving) in this ROM?

§ does WiFi Direct work for you?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] andy.macht:
does offlinecharge work for you guys?

mine does just show the not spinning ring and is not charging:crying:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
For location settings literally goto settings -> location, flip the on/off toggle, MODE = High accuracy / Battery saving / Device only

Wifi direct doesn't work for me either mate

Yes it does, be sure to use f2fs as system file extension instead of ext4.

Whilst offline charging is in progress, the big battery icon in the middle of the screen doesn't update that often and smoothly :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] andy.macht:
oh you are right - im still on ext4.

ive chosen f2fs as system/cache partition on the installer of the latest rom from 27-10-14, but at "performance - disc-information" the filesystem is still ext4. how can i change to f2fs?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] moses_dx:
Guess I'll have to do a clean install then
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Aneuryst:
Was experiencing big battery drain. My battery was nearly a year old and was a bit bulged so I bought a new one. But yet still the battery is draining fast. It says Android OS is taking up over 25% of the battery, and is keeping the phone awake 90% of the time. What's going on?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] xKLDx:
hi, so i've had a problem with the wi-fi, it gets stuck at turning on but never actually turns on, the only way to fix it is to remove the battery for a few seconds then put it in again, and even this sometimes doesn't work

i think i'm going to do a clean install but was asking if someone knew a quick fix because i'm really low on time and don't want to replace all my apps and restore chat history and other things needed with a clean install

thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Recently i encountered a pretty low income volume when calling, same goes for my GF's phone, we both run Carbon 2014/10/27. Any way to fix it? when i'm outside its pretty annoying i cant hear the person thats calling :P
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Press volume down and volume up during the call and it will be fixed.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Thanks mate, great release as always, thought sending video's through whatsapp still wont work :l any workaround for it? its quite annoying i cant send funny vids of my animals to my mates lol
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] andy.macht:
same here:crying:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] +BOB+:
No problems here with WhatApp Messenger Version 2.11.432 and sending video's.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] brooker88:
How's battery life on this? I'm wanting to upgrade to a good 4.4.4 rom but haven't find anything that can out perform cm10.2 yet. I have carbon on my nexus 7 and really want it on s3 but can't test myself until weekend
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Running the same version man, did you try recording a vid yourself and send it to a mate. Previously i had a weird problem by which i couldnt send vids i made myself BUT could send vids Downloaded from FB. Cant do that now either ;/
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] andy.macht:
i now did a factory reset + delete cache + flash rom = clean install of newest rom.

ive chosen f2fs for all partitions during installation.

=> it shows that i am still on EXT4 - and no offline charging :confused:

edit:

im sorry, i got it now working (used TWRP for chaning filesystems)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] +BOB+:
Now I tried 3 things for you :)

-Sending a video from WhatsApp to WhatsApp.

-recording a video within WhatsApp and sending

-recording a video with camera and sending with WhatsApp

All worked.

Maybe you could try to clear data and cache in camera app.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] andy.macht:
now my daily use device is ready to use again :D

thanks for ROM + help!

one more thing...

where is quick bar ribbon enable button again?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JamesGoodmanOne:
I bricked a phone in the past flashing a ROM and im a bit scared of doing something wrong.

There are two ROMs, one with "Odin" at the end of its filename and one without.

Plus TWRP recovery.

Using Odin, how do i flash the ROM and which files do i use?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Aneuryst:
Flashed latest release, simply stuck on boot screen. (not animation)

Aroma said "installer status 7"

Going to try reverting back to previous 10/27 build
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dat7476:
the easiest way mate is go to novafusion site click tutorials at top of page, its all there for you step by step.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Thanks for trying anyway mate.

What i did so far was clearing cache of the camera, resulting in nothing

clearing cache of whatsapp, resulting in nothing

What might be handy to include here is that i restore my previous data everytime i whiped my phone (thus pics, conversations etc) but that wouldn't cause any problems, would it?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] +BOB+:
I never cleared data or cache on whatsapp, so I don't know the result.

But try to clear the camera cache AND DATA in App-Info.

By the way - this are my camera details in App-Info:

com.android.camera2

Version 2.0.002

(ba04c517bd-30)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Thanks again for the reply mate ^^ got the same version as you man.

To be honest i dont think its the camera app or anything related to the camera app at all! since i cannot send video's i copied from facebook or anywhere else as-well.

Whenever i click on a video to send, it appears in the chat uploading and literally 1 second afterwards whatsapp 'unexpectedly' closes :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dat7476:
think its time to give carbon a go as been using cm11 for a while but the random reboots are bad and battery isnt great. does carbon randomly reboot and is the battery ok?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mauam:
CM11 & Carbon are the same (in a certain way, since CM11 is based on AOSP, as well as carbon, pac, etc, etc, are based on CM11). It all depends on how your rom is configured:)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] honeyx:
No ROM will fix an old battery that is discharging fast or make some apps comsume less power. So if your battery is hitting its end, replace it rather than switching the ROMs.

Not exactly. Carbon has less issues compared to pure CM11. At least on this device. Just some cosmetic ones but for example no clockfreezing. However it has the same issues like the latest CM10.2.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dat7476:
battery is only 2 month old, i changed to pegasusq and sio, seems better now thanks.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] brooker88:
So far so good, no problems yet but only been using 2 hour battery seems to last long too
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
So I had been using NovaFusion's CM11 ROM for about a month and a half going through several versions. I didn't do a fresh install as NovaFusion does not advise this and, not wanting to start from scratch, did not switch the file system. I liked the ROM as it was stable and fully functional, but the battery life was bad (I was using the popular Abyssplug/Sio -combo). It got to the point where, if Wi-Fi and Bluetooth were on but the phone was hardly used and barely no apps were syncinc, I had to charge the phone twice a day -- again I made only a few very short calls and received one or two messages.

I decided it was time for a switch and went for NovaFusion's Carbon ROM. With this ROM I switched to F2FS and made a fresh install (as in using the installer in TWRP and choosing F2FS for every option). This latest Carbon ROM from NovaFusion seems lighter than CM11 and the battery life seems to be a lot better. Unfortunately it's not as stable and functional as CM11 as I've experienced one or two freezes and removed Viber as it did not work. I may keep this ROM, however, as I much prefer good battery life to using Viber. As for the Carbon tweaks, they're nice but I hardly need them.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] brooker88:
I can't get govener to stick, keeps changing to on demand even if I use trickstermod. Anyone know how to fix this? Or how to install another kernel?

Edit: flashed different kernel
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] wtx1033:
why doesn't chrome open normally (full screen) in the latest release?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] TheScriptKitty:
Yea I have that problem too. If you want a quick workaround you can download Chrome Beta.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JamesGoodmanOne:
A heated discussion has been going on between me and a few other users on a general thread on XDA.

The debate was whether New Macław 's reference of novafusion.pl and its method to flash Gapps is correct.

Do you have to mount the Gapps file first or is that step un-necessary?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Mike20017:
Uninstall chrome and use chrome beta it worked for me
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JamesGoodmanOne:
Flashing This ROM

Is it possible to flash this ROM using Odin, without using a custom Recovery and without having your phone rooted?

Id like to just flash this ROM and nothing else, by using Odin, is that possible?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] andy.macht:
no, you need to be root to flash a custom kernel.

i got a problem with battery state here - the battery seems full (shows 4300mV and does not charge further) but the system says its just 72% charged.

am i able to reset the state or is there any other solution?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] lukitas12:
Try any battery calibration app from Google Play! That could help! :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
You have to check if the odin package you are using contains the recovery. If not you should be fine ( don't really know if what I'm saying is correct, just using logic.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Anyway the ROM is already rooted.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JamesGoodmanOne:
Thanks for your help and another users help here.

But two slightly different answers have been given and i dont know how to proceed.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
I have read your question again. The answer is yes , you can flash this ROM using odin ( you don't need to use a custom recovery). The thing I'm not sure is if the package you are using will flash a custom recovery ( if so just flashing back stock ROM using odin would get back to your old recovery).
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JamesGoodmanOne:
Ok thanks.

Im on a stock ROM. Ive just heard from another user on XDA, that you need to :

1) root your phone

2) flash a custom recovery

3) then you can flash a custom ROM

I hope its your method instead, yours seems a lot easier.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
There two ways : 1) use odin 2) use a custom recovery
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mazen1966:
Hi.

I installed Rom but lost all sounds. Everything else is perfect. Seems as if lost sound drivers. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mazen1966:
Sorry hardware issue
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JamesGoodmanOne:
With Odin, do you flash this ROM and then flash the Gapps over the top of the ROM, all of this with no custom recovery needed?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Could someone provide some screenshots?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] brooker88:
Of what?

https://carbonrom.org few screenshots on there
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JoxeeM:
Good rom, hope to see carbon cm12
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] joedom1:
When you flash the ROM through ODIN it will install the custom recovery TWRP which you can then use to flash Gapps.

Is it android 5? I really have grown tired of the 4.4.4 buggy rom
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
This is kitkat mate. And, it's not buggy.. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] moses_dx:
Yes it is, there's still the low sound issue and no offline charging allowed.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
On CM11, I don't have such problems..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Use f2fs as filesystem for offline charging, dont act immature just because it doesn't work for you

Beside that, your previous comment said "is this android 5?" dude really? just really? read the damn title moron! 4.4.4!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] moses_dx:
I've already done that and still the same. I've used carbon in other devices and they were less buggy. Don't try to look down on me, or do you really think you can provoke me with just that?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
I am quite sure you're right, but I also believe other device has sources or blobs better than ones from Android 4.0/4.1 ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] hedgegee:
Sometimes i dont understand why you developers put up with this ingratitude. Yes there is bugs but it is a free piece of software for you phone - take it or leave it.

On topic, the bugs i have encountered:

No offline charging even in f2fs

Somtimes low sound in calls in speaker and earspeaker

A random weird battery drain i havent located yet but wasnt present on other 4.4 roms i tried

If you could fix these bugs that would be great if not thats okay and as always thanks to the developers for doing the work.:)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Try removing your battery from the phone, re-insert it and then try to charge it without powering it on.

Weird battery drains might be a problem related to the 1Ghz Bug, check your clockspeed when it occurs again. Simplest solution is turning wifi off and reboot your phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] hedgegee:
Thanks for the suggetions - i have however done this and no dice on the battery. I know about the 1ghz bug and it wasnt that - i always check my speeds when i experience it. :<

I can see that you are running af different kernel - it might be why it works for you.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dolphinman310:
Not all true, i ran the novafusion kernel long before i tried the 1N4148 and never really experienced any of the problems beside low call volume, i switched since a week or so to 1N4148 since it allowed me to downclock to other speeds beside the 200/400/600/800/1000, and had other governors that more fitted my phones profile :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Elmarigo:
Hello novafusion!

Do you see any chance for making wifi direct work on this phone?

Anything else seems to be working fine by now , thank you! :)

I've got a problem with SuperSU on this ROM. Whenever an app asks for root privileges it is not possible to tap on "allow" or "deny" (see attachment). Any hints are appreciated.

Disable omniswitch or enable the option "tapjacking" unders superuser definitions.

doumentsui force close

Hello! I get sudden documentsui force close when using this ROM. I tried deleting cache, dalvik and reinstalling system, but it won't work. And that's important as there are apps relying on documentsui for choosing paths.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JamesGoodmanOne:
Im still considering which type of ROM to use.

Which do you think is better or preferable; Carbon or CyanogenMod?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] jstath1972:
I think the one that fits to your needs and your taste dude. :silly:

Both of them got a lot of goodies and cherry picks and the NovaFusion team has made a very good job.

Reading the CyanogenMod and Carbons site for their futures will help you to decide. :good:

Btw CyanogenMod has more updates than Carbon.

Enjoy your new rom. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Elmarigo:
Carbon got anything that cyanogenmod has and even more...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] moses_dx:
If you want lollipop then you have to go cm12. Carbon will be taking a while, I'm not sure if this terminal is worth waiting
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Axaion:
It even has less bloat :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dorpm:
Is this ROM no longer maintained? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Last release is bugless and I don't think that Novafusion has made many improvements to kitkat ROMs as the significant bugs are fixed. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Yeah, just some patch from Lollipop branch.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] +BOB+:
Yes it is, but sometimes a Carbon source update would be nice ;)

Or maybe we get Carbon L next time :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Once after NF Team succeeded to make a stable CM, Carbon and etc. should follow :o
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] +BOB+:
If you mean CM12 with "stable CM" - yes, but I think it's not so far away. Latest if f2fs is stable then Carbon 5.0.2 could come :D

But till then sometimes an update of Carbon 4.4.4 would be nice, because Carbon team made and makes bugfixes and improvments ;)

@New Macław, what do you think about?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] xDroidZz:
As far as i know.

Carbon team discontinued fixing or improving carbon rom because 5.0 is out....
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Elmarigo:
They stopped improving, but they are working on a Bugfix Release for CarbonROM 4.4 - that's CarbonROM 4.4 Final.

https://carbonrom.org/category/news/

It will take some time and it's going to be the last CarbonROM 4.4 Release.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Axaion:
Hopefully we'll see a carbon lollipop version soon, tried out cm12, and besides no active display.. Well no way to re bind buttons which I have on carbon due to broken home button heh

Also hold down back to kill an app is super slow on cm

So now we wait.

I really want to go back to this rom but the only big problem that bugs me is that the time resets when i reboot. The only solution is to delete time_daemon somewhere in system/ forgot which location. And it forgets my CLEO mods app in san andreas. It's like it resets my whole setting...... i read that it is googles fault? But on Stock GpE 4.4.4 i dont have this problem. What are the causes to it my fellow S4 users.....
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Elmarigo:
Whenever i set up an SSH conection to my mini@carbon I didn't even bother about the firewall, it just worked out of the box using SSHDroid, so you probably got another problem.

Maybe you have SELinux set to enforcing?

Or you are just using the wrong port?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dorpm:
Urgs, as usual - stupid user. A firewall has blocked it. After deactivation no problem anymore. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mythenmetz:
Hey, I just flashed this rom and noticed that I have the 1Ghz bug. I assume it's because I changed the governor and scheduler, or does this also happens with stock settings? And if it's also happens with stock settings, is there any kernel/settings I can use so I don't have this bug?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] moses_dx:
Unfortunately there's no other developer working with this terminal, you'll have to live with that or go back to standard rom
