I've download the ROM from OP : CARBON-KK-BUILD8-20140421.zip - 170.44 MB

Is there another version (8b?) to fix SMS "bug"?

I just need to change that "black list feature"?

edit: Just found the 8B in previous page. What the best procedure now?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
My bad, 8b wasn't published here ;)

Yes, after disabling black list I managed to receive text messages

@up

Just install 8b, you can format /cache partition and wipe dalvik cache (advanced tab in recovery) just to be sure

Send... i hope so

Great ROM very smooth but lockscreen clock settings still not fixed and some reason Playstore for me doesn't show Facebook app at all and tried xposed all apps in playstore mod
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Lockscreen clock is not a bug, it's feature;)) [i deleted that cLock.apk or sth like that, but didn't delete that option for people, who want to restore that app...

Facebook is not visible in google play, idk why, i have it installed before....strange...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Ah OK and i know strange it showed up before for me also so I just got aptoide to get it also zwliew kernel if you use latest kernel don't use interactive as very laggy but that's not rom related just a heads up for uses who use zwliew kernel don't use interactive
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] sercik:
I'm sorry for the noob question, I'm a little confused Why the sms problem in not listed under bugs? Is there a way to correct the blacklist? I really love carbon Rom but i really need to receive sms messages? Plese let me see if i can receive sms with this latest build of carbon.

Then i noticed a strange problem with "handcent sms": when i go under battery options i see that handcent uses 30% battery, maybe the blacklist bug and exaggerated cpu usage by handcent are related?

Bye and thanks to Rox and Judas77: my preferred builder ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:
Are you using build 8 or 8b

E: i remember on build 8 there was some blacklist problem or something..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tokacz:
on 8b and 10 working fine blacklist
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] sercik:
I installed latest build (10) 2 days ago, but to be sure i deactivated blacklist.

[MENTION=3841151]judas1977[/MENTION] When we can expect update? Rom is great, but random reboots and freezes are very annoying.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tokacz:
no freezes and reboots on carbon + zwliew last kernel
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Idk, tomorrow, maybe. I don't know what happened in my house when i left compilation process ;)

Send... i hope so
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nozyk12:
OK,I'll try this kernel. Hope it will help.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] paw98:
I moved to this ROM from CM 11 and It's much better a the moment. No lags, freez, buggs. Everything is work. I use zwliew kernel. I think, that it's the best ROM at the moment. I recomended this ROM
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
But, to be honest, the freezes are there, unfortunately...

Send... i hope so
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] paw98:
Thank You for your honest :) Fortunately I haven't any problem now.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] h3llrais3r:
[MENTION=3841151]judas1977[/MENTION], in your next version, you mention:

* Fix text messages not being received due to blacklist bug

Is this a CM source bug? Or a carbon rom bug?

Because I have a similar problem with not receiving text messages (from foreign country) but I don't know what's causing it.

I'm on TC CM11, but when I flash back stock 4.1.2, I can perfectly receive those text messages.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
It was carbon sources bug, that "next build" section is outdated:)

Hello, i'd like to say goodbye (sort of).

Some guys "convinced me", that i don't really need my codina anymore. Thanks to their courtesy - they give me my sim-card back...

I hope that somebody on our forum cosider my job as useful for community, that was real pleasure to create ROMs, starting with stock based customs, and two versions of OMNI ROM (available on polish forum) on the end...

Luckily - i have my ZTE BLADE back - i'm not gonna buy any phone for now. Not another Codina, that's for sure... unless - i'll get enough money from donations (3USD so far;)).

But i'm a realistic man, so i know exactly that earning 100 usd from donations is impossible. But - if you find my work useful - feel free to donate to me (you'll find link in OP).

See you and good luck to you all!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] James_Feltham:
Sad to see you go bro :(
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] paw98:
Very thanks for Your job. God luck
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tokacz:
Thanks for your work and best, stable and fast rom.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
It's sad to see you go and it's a real shame but very much appreciated for your hard work but as for donations it's never impossible to reach a target it's like dazzozo on modaco got a Y300 completely free from donations tillaz also modaco got a free Y300 as I sent him it as I had P880 I would give my Ace 2 when I get a new phone but it has a few things need fixing like charging port
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

Yes, i know that some people gained quite a money via donations - but i wrote about my case;). You know, i achieved 3 us dollars so far (after almost year of contributions, and about 6-7 unique ROMs release) , so it's rather unrealistic that i'll achieve more AFTER my contributions to the community are suspended (finished?)...

And - to be clear - that's not complaining, i just describe reality;))

Anyway - thanks for your support guys!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] blastos01:
thank you for your hardwork. I am using liquidsmooth 2.37 and you are the guy who told me how to flash new kernel to fix BT bug. thanks in advance. I am going to try Carbon 4.3 in near but I guess 4.4.2 roms not working smoothly for my device.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
Sad to see you go bro , good luck in future.

If users have money they wont buy ace 2, they will buy some flagship device. Dont complain, i am in same situation. But i am not here to make some serious money like some other users, i am here to improve experience of using this phone..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Nathanabrahams:
Goodbye and Good luck ... You're... One of the top figures in ace 2 development and will be truly missed
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
When I get my new phone I would happily donate you my Ace 2 for free only issue it has is charger port is broke but I have 2 batteries and battery charger if you know how to replace parts it would be handy but as for my phone when I get new one it will just gather dust or get binned if you want it let me know ? I would rather it go towards development as you are a great dev and think of it as a way to say thank you for making my thinking bridge request.

I will be ordering my new phone Friday but takes 3 - 7 days to arrive once arrived I will post my Ace 2 with Batteries and charger to you if your interested I always like to help Development out as much as I can I would donate you £10 or more but my bank doesn't let me use PayPal now weirdly they use to so I would rather send you my Ace 2 so development can continue. If I had a better computer I would build but I have nothing powerful enough :(

Just as a little proof I would send you it if you wanted it

This dev tillaz on modaco I sent a Huawei - Y300 for free as I had a P880 getting delivered. So if you are after it let me know ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
[MENTION=3138903]danny19901[/MENTION]

Oh man, I really don't know what to say.

People like you make that I believe that not everything is rotten on this world;).

No, seriously - I'm really moved...

One is obvious for me: I cannot accept your offer - one thing is achieving 1 or 3 USD donations, but the phone... that's totally different thing.

Everybody likes to gain payment for his/her job (including donations for work made for free), but maybe you remember our conversation in Thinking Bridge topic:

As you can see, I'm not donation oriented man:)

Anyway, your honest offer made, that my Sunday will be a brighter day for sure, thank you...

Is sad see you go, you made many roms for ace 2 and you help me , i´ll never forget your help.

Thanks for your awesome work.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Real shame you won't accept and I remember our conversation in thinking bridge thread so in that case my phone is up for any dev who doesn't have ace 2 if no dev wants it will just sit there not getting used

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

WARNING:

Because last updates were prepared (mainly) for polish forum users - i "forgot" to remove one cherry-pick and... Xperia keyboard have only polish and english dictionaries, so it won't work with other languages (swipe for sure). You have two (three actually, but it doesn't matter;) options:

- add another keyboard by yourself

- wait for BUILD 14

- (third option was about that you don't care about Carbon ROM anyway;)).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Where can we get build 13 ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
In test stage for next 20 hours :)

Edit:

Random reboots present, build 13 removed from schedule...

Kernel issue?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Anyone got link for version 12 ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I think i got (on my d-h, as i wrote before):

http://d-h.st/wlh
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Thank you much appreciated
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Some results of my tests:

1. Reboots still uccurs after switching to kernel from build 12 (so probably it's not kernel issue, or... build 12 is affected too, but i didn't noticed it during 4-5 days of tests)

2. Reboots could be the result of optimalisations v3

3. Back to build 12 - more test will answer (or not) to question: is this only build 13 problem?

That's all for now... stay tuned.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
OK 4.4.3 is reported to be out :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
New build is up!

I think Carbon still uses 4.4.2, but omni is updated already

BTW - anyone interested in OMNI updates? :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
there will be omni build this days. waiting for tesla or pablo or diego to compile ...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

There is no tesla anymore:)

I released some builds on polish forum, but if there will be TC releases, I'll keep my project on polish forum only
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
To not create multi threads, can you post your omni build in omni4.4 tc thread ?

Tesla changed name xD
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up,

Yes, but I'll have to translate changelogs (I'll do it later today)

I know that he changes nickname, and the phone too :)

[MENTION=3841151]judas1977[/MENTION] Is bug with google location still exist in this rom?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

IDK - i don't have it, 60+ hours of uptime and it seems it's good
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] exodius48:
This rom also odexed. Why all of your rom always odexed? Any special reason for it?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
1. Which system apps do you plan to modify?

2. Do you plan to plant potatoes or something on unused system partition space? What do you need space on system partition for?

Odex is to load these system apps faster
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:

For all impatient ones (is anybody here?:)) - first 4.4.3 build, it's a main change...

Next one will be fully upgraded to 4.4.3 (according official carbon changelog):

http://d-h.st/egR
[General Questions and Answers] Dvsone504:
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) and I had my phone rooted until the recent update to 4.4.2. Without thinking, I updated my phone to this update when it was downloaded and after I was unable to use WIFI and of course my phone no longer had root access even though SU was still in my apps. When I try to turn WIFI on, I get the Security Message from KNOX "Your phone's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required". I then attempted to flash the phone back to stock with Odin and the stock ROM only to receive this error:

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

So now I am stuck with the update 4.4.2, I am unable to use WIFI, KNOX is back in action, and my phone is no longer rooted... Is there anyway to get my phone back to stock so I can use my WIFI again? Or is there a fix for this? And is there anyway to disable that stupid KNOX crap?

Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] mguven:
Same issue,

I have the same exact issue WIFI is not working, I did a factory reset, tried to put the factory image odin gave me the same exact error.
[General Questions and Answers] Dvsone504:
I found a solution for this. http://wccftech.com/unroot-samsung-galaxy-s4-and-reclaim-warranty-all-models/. Download the updated stock ROM for your phone and flash with ODIN. Worked like a charm.
[General Questions and Answers] colestole:
Can i ask how to get the app without being able to go on the internet using your s4?
[Defy General] pankaj.jajoria:
Step 1 => Install root explorer. here

Step 2 => Goto to /root => system => etc=> motorola=> basebands

Step3 => For indian user

open asia/china => nd copy the zip file

Step4 => Extract the zip file as per your requirement.

Step5 => Copy and overwrite that extracted files to " /root/system/etc/motorola/bp_nwm_default" with full read and write permissions.

Step 6 => Reboot your device.

voila!!! your phone have now correct babsebands settings.. ;)
[Defy General] dkv2222:
Could your method fix this?
[Defy General] dkv2222:
What do do ahead of this?

What do I have to copy?
[Defy General] pankaj.jajoria:
You have to copy any china baseband zip file to a specific path then extract it.

Now you have 19 files which you previously extracted from the zip file

then just copy these 19 files and paste in " /root/system/etc/motorola/bp_nwm_default" folder.. and select replace/overwrite.
[Defy General] dkv2222:
But till today I always used sea 343331 or something like that.

You're telling me that's wrong? :eek:
[Defy General] pankaj.jajoria:
no bro. u can also use sea baseband but China basebands also worked very well :)

both were Tested by me :) (y)
[Defy General] dkv2222:
Well.

I'm on Omni now. I'll try China baseband for a while.
[Defy General] pankaj.jajoria:
ya sure :D Notify Me also if it works ;)
[Defy General] dkv2222:
I will.

Ill tell you after a few days of usage. :)
[Defy General] pankaj.jajoria:
Your phone didn't get network signals yet ?
[Defy General] dkv2222:
Um. Nothing like that.

Boards going on right now n I'll only play with the mobile after the 15th of this month. :P
[Defy General] pankaj.jajoria:
ohh :P best of luck for your boards :good: :)

Works great thanks!
[Defy General] pankaj.jajoria:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwanG:
So I just rooted my Moto X, but because of a locked bootloader it is questionable if I will be able to setup a 4.4 ROM. If I have to buy something else anyway, I'm thinking I would prefer something in a Phablet or 7 inch tablet. I use a Verizon MiFi to have 4G I can use as WiFi wherever I go. So carrier is a moot point. But I do need the ability to place WiFi calls (perhaps using Hangouts on 4.4?) as well as a GPS (I commute by bicycle daily).

I thought about the Nexus 7 but those appear to be generally out of stock and I presume that's because there will be a refresh soon. Perhaps I should wait for that? Maybe an unlocked Note 3? Other ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help!

+1 You can swipe up the notification panel from everywhere, even from free space - on Jelly Bean, you had to grab the bar at the bottom.
[G2 General] gellow:
I'm not sure if this is KK related or it has been there before but when I receive an incoming call while I'm browsing a small window pops up with the caller info and 'answer' and 'reject' buttons so you won't get interrupted by calls if your doing something which is a really nice feature!
[G2 General] gull_s_777:
Wao this is a very positive review regarding update. Seems like it was well worth the wait.

I'll be very glad if Auto Brightness is working fine now.

Two questions

1. Opening threads in messages app seem to take a second in JB. Any difference felt in kitkat?

2. Photos taken as portrait come out as landscapes in PC and have to set them as portrait again in windows. Kitkat solves this?
[G2 General] samkle:
this was pre-kitkat, you must have had it disabled
[G2 General] Cienight:
1. Not sure if it's a second but doesn't seem to have changed for me

2. It's the same, but I think this is due to the way Windows Explorer handles the photos.
[G2 General] hackarchive:
It's faster like 1/4 of a sec than before that's y i didn't use the stock sms app but it's ok now [MENTION=5597178]Cienight[/MENTION] Music playback uses less power definitely.That was a major kitkat change and LG applied it well here.I listen to alot of music so I know.
[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
anyone know how to get rid of bluetooth running in background even though its not on?
[G2 General] ishma:
I found that the rotation on home screen from portrait to landscape is smoother.

No widgets redraw or stutter like on JB.

Thats a good thing.. :D
[G2 General] samkle:
there was a suggestion to choose only bluetooth from the battery saver items and turn it on immediately but i tried that and it doesnt woek. :(
[G2 General] marshygeek:
Can you try swiping the navigation bar downwards? I saw a video about a KK review on G2 and he can hide / show the nav bar by swiping gesture. Please confirm?
[G2 General] woof123:
The bluetooth service doesnt seem to run on the Korean version guys.Maybe they fixed it?
[G2 General] Cienight:
I found another issue guys tho i dont know if its only on my end:

When using the quick window case there was supposed to be music controls when playing music with the stock player,no?

Anyone that can confirm this?
[G2 General] henrylar:
Yes, this is the case on mine which is still not kitkat'ed
[G2 General] ishma:
I still get that music control.

you can activated it on setting>general>accessory>quickwindow case> tap it ON and then choose "select apps", checklist "music"
[G2 General] farhanito:
You can now double tap on app picker to select app
[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
I don't think battery life is better in usage but standby power consumption has improved a lot.
[G2 General] Cienight:
May i report the worst issue after this update:

Noise and hissing when playing music with earphones and the stock player!

Oh god this is so frustrating i hope they fix this fast...
[G2 General] Adnan.Nassar:
is this update for the international ver ?
[G2 General] Cienight:
It's for d802 but it's carrier branded with bloat additions
[G2 General] metalboy94:
Not sure if it's been already reported, but the noise in headphones is present throughout the system, regardless of what music player you are using or whether you are playing music at all - any UI sound or app sound causes the noise to appear. Also, the stock launcher still lags when using live wallpapers or when the Weather widget is updating, but not as much as before. It's overall very smooth, and I'm happy Immersive Mode works, but I'm not sure what apps trigger it (so far it's Hill Climb Racing and Perfect Viewer for me).

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Only on certain apps, as in my previous post.
[G2 General] Cienight:
Is there a way to directly report this to LG?
[G2 General] py-13:
I had a background noise before on stock 4.2.2 80210c (802 Int) - almost present in the left channel and only then music was not played,

But now on 4.4.2 its gone - absolute silence without music and good SQ while playing audio.

Could someone post link to 100% surely Vodafone's KitKat with LTE connectivity ? I tried from two different sources and still nothing. Before flashing everything works fine on Jelly Bean and I saw 4G.
