Update!

Hey it's been a long so I thought I could drop in an update in case you've been waiting for new stuff

16/05:

- Little ramdisk changes (results in a lower sized boot.img)

- Fix for google camera

- Upstream changes (New theme provider, checkbox for high-res graphics, omni switch, etc)

I didn't tested yet impulse with this build but I assume it will work no problem, though I'll update impulse next week with this new change.

Enjoy!! :)

EDIT: Removed for the time being, there's a crash with systemui, I'll recompile with the fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The new file is now available, sorry for the wait guys! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TrojanDad:
I flashed the 20140517 build today and I'm getting the message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped"

I came from your 20140421 build of cm11.

Restored the cm11 backup I made prior to flashing CarbonRom

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well I've seen some fc's, I would guess that it is related to the new theme chooser or something related to it, I will make another build next week to see if it gets fixed.

I can confirm it works with impulse. Also summer vacation lol

After changing the sdcard I found out that it died.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I also found out through amazon on reviews that sandisk knows about the problem and will replace your sd card with a new one. I will call customer service tomorrow and see how it goes.

Update: I actually had to wait a day since the 26th was a holiday. I updated my review on amazon to reflect what happened: (If it still says 3 stars, then that's the old review)

[MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] does the "hold back to kill" developer option work for you? When I hold back it doesn't kill the task anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Doesn't look like it works for me either, something went wrong somewhere, let me check that out.

Yeah it used to work when you enabled in in developer options. However, its ok because you can actually enable the same functionality when going through the Carbon settings and selecting buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm maybe they just changed the switch from the dev options to carbon fibers?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Some of you I believe had said that battery life on this rom was significantly better than that of cm11. Is this still the case?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
That's what I'm thinking. However, I have a new problem. When I use Impulse with this rom, performance plummets. Firstly, the youtube app stops working as soon as I installed the kernel. After a few minutes of use the device becomes laggy and lockup causing me to reboot. I'm going to reinstall carbon by itself to see if the problem persists.

Update: I first reinstalled Carbon without Impulse to see if the rom itself was causing the issue. I found that Carbon Rom without Impulse ran just fine and although I ran into a ROM specific issue (see below). I then changed the runtime from Dalvik to ART and sure enough the issue came back along with a few others. These issues include the device having lag, locking up, and slimpie/navigation/hardware buttons not responding in almost all apps. After that I switched back to Dalvik, installed Impulse and found that it also didn't cause any issue.

However, there's some sort of bug where our capacitive buttons stop responding in this rom. So the problem is with ART and not Impulse. I still have the problem with not being able to install youtube HD, even though, I could install it on CM 11?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I don't know about installing youtube HD, I will try to install it later. Though it doesn't work natively with ART so I guess it wouldn't work anyway. I'm currently compiling a 4.4.3 build, I don't know what will happen though with it. In this case, maybe keeping dalvik would be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
What is weird is that I can't even install the regular app from the play store with dalvik. I get this error
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Alright gents, new build is up (10/06) This one is mostly Android 4.4.3 with new features and misc improvements/bugfixes.

Enjoy. :)

[MENTION=4704705]obscuresword[/MENTION] Can you check if it fixes perhaps the youtube issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Ok I will. Wish I saw this before install the newest CM 11 lol.

Update: This newest update fixed the issue. I think it had something to do with Google Play Services, because it said that the device didn't have them installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Zaclimon, I am using this rom and am trying to change the status bar color and it is not working. Any ideas? I enable it in the Carbon settings and change the "opaque color" and then the systemui reboots but nothing changes, it just stays black.

EDIT: Nevermind it's working now. It just wasn't working on the initial boot. Liking this rom so far. Anybody have any tips on how to cut down on systemui battery usage? Seems to be the weakness of KK.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
How does one enable zRam in carbon?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I don't really know about the battery saving tips, I'm mostly using this device as a music player so listening to music is correct for me lool.

As for zram, it is automatically enabled as per requirement for kitkat on low end devices. It is set up for the moment at 128MB.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Okay you say on low end devices. Does that mean that if you remove that low ram flag to get the transparent status bar, you disable zram?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well its not an obligatory *requirement* but it does help with the device performance. Removing the low ram device flag won't remove zram but can enable the transparent status bar. But you should be able to enable high end graphics on the performance menu without changing the low ram flag.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Okay. I still have some things to go throuhg and test out, but so far I'm really liking this rom because of the customization it gives me! Keep it up to date for us :)

Now concerning the high end graphics, does that force anything else to run other than the transparent status bar? I can live without the transparency if the high end graphics is going to hurt me somewhere else like in gaming, I just need to know is all.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
So far, I haven't seen that it did some problems performance wise. The best would be try for yourself, you can always revert it if you find it not as good as you would. :)

New update incoming!!

25/06

- Android 4.4.4

- Patched towelroot exploit

- Upstream features from Carbon

Download: http://goo.gl/eaq9TD

(having some quirks with dev-host at the moment)

As I said in the CM11 thread, I'll try to get an Impulse build containing the fix for the towelroot exploit tomorrow.

Enjoy!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Is anyone else noticing that com.android.systemui is using almost just as much battery as the screen is? (which is a lot) On past android versions, systemui has never even shown up on the battery usage thing. But on 4.4.x, I've always seen this and am wondering if it's just me. Surely the Kitkat ui is not THAT much more hefty to hog so much battery. Is it a bug with our roms specifically?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I looked at my stats on system ui is using 8% of my battery vs 36% for the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
What the heck, suddenly "Google Services" is using like 60% battery even after a reboot. Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] FlinderMouse:
I experienced that too, I think it has something to do with the Google Location stuff because it seemed to go back to normal after I disabled location and the Google GPS stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
You mean just Settings > Location? I've had that switched off for some time so that obviously isn't the problem...Is there more location/GPS stuff somewhere in the settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Now I'm having this problem as well because of google play services.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
So I looked at wakelock detector and google play services is causing a huge wakelock with its update.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Yikes. Anyone have any idea how we can fix this?

BTW obscureword I sent you a PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dark_Balor:
Deleted. Wrong information.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
I already have all the location stuff switched to off, so the features in the Location History are already all disabled. As for Google Now, I went through all the different tabs and there is nothing in Google Settings even mentioning Google Now...Perhaps it isn't the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dark_Balor:
Sorry I mislead you.

There is a solution, we need to reactivate the system update service to remove the wake lock.

It has been corrected in the version of CM after the 29 June.

It would be nice if [MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] could rebuild the ROM with the patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Yeah saw it, I'll rebuild carbon today, CM may come tomorrow.

Thanks for noticing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Alright new build available guys on the dev-host folder:

06/07

Upstream carbon changes (Google update service wakelock fix as the main important change for some)

A new CM build with the changes will come tomorrow.

Enjoy!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
That did the trick. Thanks. Also, Thanks [MENTION=1296287]Dark_Balor[/MENTION] for your help.

Zaclimon, I have a quick question for you though. On our device, CM11 causes the Systemui to use quite a bit of battery (about as much as the screen). In past Android versions, I've never seen the Systemui pass 5% battery use. Does the Kitkat UI just use lots more battery than past versions (so on ALL devices running 4.4.x, System UI uses about the same amount of battery as it does on ours), or is this a bug that is particularly on our device and in our CM11 rom?

Most of my family uses Apple devices and my Gplayer is my only Android device, so I don't have another Android to check the Systemui battery usage on another device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well so far, on my N4, SystemUI uses 3% of battery life and with my N7 (3-5%), it uses about the same. On my Player, it doesn't even show up though I'm using Carbon.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Gosh I wish I could say the same lol. Right now mine is showing 15%, and that's usually the lowest it goes. No idea why it does this :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] FlinderMouse:
WiFi Range

I just noticed that the WiFi range isn't nearly as good as it used to be... I'm not sure if it's my player or the rom but even if I'm standing right next to my router my signal doesn't exceed 2 bars. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
That's because of your WiFi drivers on KitKat. It happens to me to
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
My Wifi bars go up just fine so I don't think it has to do with Kitkat
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] FlinderMouse:
Just thought I'd follow up after some experimentation... I flashed the recovery images from stock and I still had poor connectivity on the WiFi, and I'm now fairly certain that it is a hardware problem with my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
What WiFi router do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] FlinderMouse:
I honestly have no clue, but it isn't just limited to my router; the problem has occurred with every router I've connected to over the past few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hey, here I am with a monthly update to carbon now available in the download folder:

06/08:

Upstream Carbon changes

Quick fixes.

Enjoy!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TrojanDad:
I tried updating from the July build to the August build and am having trouble. I'm not having any problems with the 4.0 player, I just wanted to update because my 5.0 player is running the August build of Carbon.

During the installation process, I see the following on the screen:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E: Error in /storage/sdcard0/Download/CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140806-1056-ypg1.zip (Status 7)

Installation aborted.

It does not matter if I dirty flash or do a full wipe before trying to flash.

I've tried re-downloading the .zip file and that did not help.

Any ideas?

Edit: I tried it again and rebooted to recovery after the aborted installation. That seemed to do the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Sorry for the late announcement but I released yesterday a new Carbon build (24/08) in my dev host folder. It mostly contains upstream changes.

I may not make builds for a long time because school just begun over here for me which is why I made one just before..

Anyway Enjoy!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AnoraxAudio:
I installed Carbon Rom recently and I find that I cannot use the home button. Both the capacitative and on-screen home button does not send you to the home screen. However, when I activate OmniSwitch and use the home button on the overlay panel, it works as expected. This behavior reminds me of the initial device setup process, where you are unable to navigate to the home screen or elsewhere while setting up the device. I should probably note that no device setup dialog appeared when I installed, and after several reboots I am still unable to use the home buttons.

Anyone have any idea as of what the issue may be?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Update (17/09/14)

- Added a soft-reboot option

- Upstream Changes

- Misc fixes

Enjoy!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
What is soft reboot lol
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It's a reboot that doesn't make your device to reboot completely, it only restarts into the bootanimation. It is similar to how your device reacts when you have a bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yaser8610:
in 3 last publish who i install with and without impulse kernel ,after a few hours that its standby and going to deep sleep, my player freeze after crt animation lock and power and home button don't response and i have to replace battery until everything work and Sometimes in this case itself go to the recovery mode and again i have to replace battery

now Where is the problem?

[Google Chromecast] primetime34:
The thread title is exactly what I want to know...is there some way to get byutv.org content streamed to my chromecast without having to do tab casting?

Whether I figure out a way to cast from my computer with a chrome add-on, or from the android app, I'd love to know how. Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Look of couple of threads down the forum to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2672797 (WebCast extension for Chrome). It works with BYUTV.org.
[Google Chromecast] primetime34:
I tried that extension but the icon never appears for me to be able to use it. It works on other sites, but I can't get it to work on BYUTV.org. Any specific video you used it on that actually worked for you?
[Google Chromecast] Unreadhyperion:
Writing to you on a tablet, I mention this as I tried last night but I guess it timed out and it never posted. It was way to lengthy to try again...but I've had some sleep and will copy before posting incase it happens again.

There is a way, but at best it is convoluted and very tech heavy. Honestly, you might be better off waiting to see of byutv starts to support Chromecast... I've seen many forums requesting that from them so it might be better to wait and see...but if you absolutely MUST have it..there's only one way I've been able to divine.

You'll need serviio and aVia. Serviio is a free - with option to pay for - dlna server. Everyone should know what aVia is by now. I can not say with 100% certainty, but I'd hazard a guess the video is rtmp which is why vGet doesn't recognize it.. if I'm right you'll need to install a rtmp sniffer..there's about a billion of them, most free, others not. If it's not rtmp then I can't figure why vGet doesn't see it...but you could use something like getflv or something more free...the whole purpose is to get the url the video is pulling from. Armed with that you can head over to serviio and add it to the online media tab.

Confused? Good, cause it gets worse. Chances are this video may not be compatible with Chromecast and if that's the case, you're going to need to get serviio to encode it on the fly...which is simple, however, serviio does not a profile built in for Chromecast. Do a Google search for Serviio Chromecast Profile AllCast, that will get you to the profile you'll need to add. With the profile, you're now going to need to get serviio to "see" the Chromecast. It doesn't do this by default as Chromecast it's not a dlna device. Instead, you'll need to assign a static ip address to something..say your computer. Let serviio cache that ip (it'll stay cached until you remove or upgrade serviio), then manually assign that ip address to your Chromecast. Once done, in the profiles page you need to change the profile of both your android device running aVia and the Chromecast to the AllCast profile I mentioned earlier.

It will work this way, android with tell serviio, via aVia, to play the online media. Serviio with download and encode the media so that's it's compatible with Chromecast, and then serviio with send the media to Chromecast which will then display it.

In this manner ANY online media is technically playable through Chromecast but...the set up and execution takes a flare of mad cap genius and elbow grease.

Not claiming that there might not be an easier way..God knows maybe bubble, playon, plex, etc might be able to do it in a simple straight forward manner.. just saying that this one will work....and not just for byutv, but for anything. Good luck! Personally, . I'd wait hahaha (edited to mention that it did happen)
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
I just clicked on a couple at random (not being a regular user of that site), and the WebCast icon appeared for me.
[Google Chromecast] primetime34:
I think the issue is that there is a commercial before the show. Would you mind clicking on the webcast icon and see if a full episode plays, or just a 30 second ad only? Thanks.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Yes, I think you're right - it plays the ad and then quits when it gets to the start of the show.

Hi

I have just been given a XDA with no life in it. I try and charge it through the cradle and no charge light comes on. I have diconnected the internal battery overnight, done a soft and hard reset, tested the AC adaptor which works and used a sim card, and it still does not work.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

:? ar2000d
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] hanmin:
How did you perform the soft+hard reset? The device is ok on AC? Dead battery?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ar2000d:
I used he two buttons in the bottom of the device for soft and hard reset. I don't know how to check the internal battery to see if it is working and there is no indication of life when attached to the AC adaptor whilst in the cradel
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] scousemartin:
xda no charge

if it doesn't work can i have it :)

Seriously though if you want to test the battery to see if you have life in it then remove the rubber seal on the back of the XDA and connect a volt meter to the gold connections that you find ,then if you have life u will know that the battery is charging. Hope that helps
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] aabaaiaaa:
Does it feel really light? You know your buddy might have given it to you because there isnt a battery in it? You should check!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ar2000d:
First thing I did was have the back off to check the battery contacts. I have now put a meter across it and nothing.

Would the logical answer be that it is a knackered battery?
