tried both and still same problem but its okay untill i install Gapps so im still trying , this is the best rom out there so ill try to fix something up
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] exitium90:
I think that's a bug related to Google Now Launcher (not sure if its called exactly that :) ) and "OK Google" feature.

Try another launcher.

Sent from my Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Disable Google now from it's settings, the bug will go away.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yohnny3:
i installed the minimal package of gapps and its all okay now,maybe google now is not in this package.But it works so im happy,Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yohnny3:
well the sound issue is back again,google now launcher is disabled but its not like last time.This time i cant increase media volume at all.When i press volume up i see the sound image is crossed and restarting does not help.Any suggestions for the fix?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pagaiba:
I can't get the bugs you describe, I am not able reproduce them so maybe is that the zip is corrupt. Did you download the md5 file? It's used to check the integrity of the zip you are gonna flash.

Today the new Beta 11 was launched, so maybe you should try this one. In the download link in the post you'll see the Beta 11 link and also the md5 one.

Good luck with it.

I've worked with carbon beta #10 for over 2 weeks, and it was the best rom i've had on my xperia s so far. 2 days ago i installed beta #11, but it crashes alot more ... I think it has something to do with the new kernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Yup, the new kernel has some issues. The Developer will be reverting to old stable kernel soon.

CM11 Rom

Hi again guys,

As you all know now that KK Carbon rom's are messed up big time.

I reverted back to CM10.2 and was happy with it, but wanted more so I installed CM11 and I'm happy to say it's quite good, not as customizable as Carbon but quite stable and doesn't reboot.

The ram management is just tops and it's a every day runner for now, the camera works 100% too.

Just try it, you wont be disappointed.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Every ROM gets messed up. The Beta 10 works just fine if You have problem with Beta 11.

Camera issues

I flashed a rom version 11 yesterday evening and didn't have much time to check it out. Although everything seemed fine and smooth at first, today it showed some issues. When I start the camera app, I can see the menus and everything, although the frame is filled with green glitch. It is non-transparent, so I can't see the composition at all. I tried built-in camera app, Vignette and VSCO Cam - all of them showed the same problem. Any ideas?

That camera issue is known to the developer and He is going to rectify it. And I don't so far any temporary solution has popped up.

KK Rom

Good day guys,

I installed Carbon 2014/08/08 on the download page and it's fine, not to much problems, the camera is a little slow but works 100% and not crashing any apps and restarting. Only downside is there is more free ram on beta 11 than this, beta 11 is 786 and 2014/08/08 is 620.

I hope they can change the kernel to up the ram.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
The RAM is less as the developer switched to a stable Kernel version, and that version has 620 MB RAM. The developer of the Kernel is working on fixing some bugs, so hopefully We will get the RAM back

Great ROM Carbon 4.4.4 but expecting better battery life

Hi guys, I installed the 08/08/2014 version of carbon rom and I must say it's very fast and smooth. But the Battery drains very fast.... do any of you have any Idea about improving the battery life??

It almost discharging 1% per min while just the screen is on and may be a bit less while sleeping.:silly:

I can't post on the main thread so I asked here.

Thanks :angel:

FM Radio

Hi.

I'm using KK Carbon 20140907-1315, and I love it. I have used AOSPXS and PA, but I prefer Carbon. It's fast and stable. The battery life is pretty good.

FM Radio is the only thing I miss in this ROM, but I can live without that, and I'm sure the next release will fix that, as far as it's already fixed on AOSPXS.

Regards.

PD: My handset is a SXS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wohuw:
That would be nice, but don't get your expectations too high. AOSPXS and AOSP have completely different sources from the other ROMs, so getting FM radio to work on other ROMs would be a veeeeeeery long shot. Plus, the Carbon ROM dev has now moved to a new phone so the development for the xperia s has slowed down... If you want both Kitkat and the FM Radio, either use AOSPXS or, you could use something that is cheap and has an FM receiver, like one of those old mp3 players
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mr_Snap:
Hi whohuw.

Thanks for your advice. I think i'll wait a bit and then i'll see what to do. AOSPXS is a very good ROM too and maybe i'll install it again.

Greetings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AurelienDeB:
Hello,

I hope I am in the right thread.

Today I tried to flash the carbon ROM on my Xperia S phone.

So I followed these steps: root, install recovery, flashing with the recovery

All was working well until the ROM installation with the recovery. at the end I rebooted the phone with the recovery menu but now I always have a black screen and when I hold the power on button pressed, the phone vibrate once.

And if I press Power On button + volume up to try to start the recovery, the led bink in blue once and the phone vibrate once. If I hold again the button pressed, it vibrate several times.

Please could someone help me? I need help to get my phone working again.

In advance many thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You have an unlocked bootloader, right? Then copy rom.zip to phone. Then using fastboot on pc, flash the boot.img from rom.zip. Reboot into recovery and flash the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AurelienDeB:
Hello Mirhawk,

Thank you for your answer.

You're rigth I have an unlocked bootloader. I tried to flash the boot.img file with flashtool in fastboot mode like you suggest. but it won't load :(

I have the message: Device must be rooted but it is already rooted :(

New release 0925

Hello.

I installed the latest version (CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140925-1615-nozomi.zip), along with Gapps (pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20140906-signed). Now the camera works as it should without lag. In my opinion, the only missing features from this ROM to be perfect, is

1.- Working FM radio.

2.- Walkman or any other player, to have a alternative to Google Music

I'm wating for the next release, where these issues will be fixed. Nevertheless, it is a great ROM for daily use.

Regards.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Carbon will never have radio in it. And as for Walkman player, You just need to install one, they work fine on the current version. Search for the latest Walkman Version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mr_Snap:
Hi.

I wish to know the reason why, if possible. The support on other ROMs is based on propietary blobs and that's not allowed in Carbon?.

Yes. There's a lot of good alternatives.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
It has something to do with the base of the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganesha27:
BETA 10

This ROM is very customizable, but this is not so stable. It reboots automatically sometimes, many of the games won't work(FIFA 14, Asphalt 8, etc). The homescreen background returns to the Holo theme background whenever the UI crashes but the styles are retained.

Sometimes the screen won't work, only the navigation bar's lights glow and have to restart the phone to get the screen working.

IF i edit a picture , the phone hangs at processing.

Tried installing ,clearing cache and everything .

help please.?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Sorry, noticed Your post now!

Weird! Try flashing it using fastboot.exe. Copy the boot.img to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" or on whichever drive the flashtool is installed on. Switch off Your phone, press the volume up button and then connect the phone to pc. Blue led will be lit on the phone. Then release the volume up button. Now using cmd, goto location "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" or on whichever drive the flashtool is installed on. Then there type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". This will flash the boot.img to Your phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AurelienDeB:
It's okay!! thank you for yor help! the problem was that the bootloader wasn't unlocked in fact. I read too fast in the device menu it was indicated "bootloader unlock allowed: yes " and not "boot loader unlocked: yes" ::eek: this is my fault. I now my issue is solved.

Thank you again for your help!

Re: Tahnks

Try Vazu.

I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.

BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.

Good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GerooTech:
this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] J-Mac:
I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.

That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)

OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:

I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.

And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.

I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab

good luck

o2 sms has this feature

The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.

I have the DNA and it is a pretty solid phone. Same size screen and resolution as the M8. I can get the phone and the dot case for $200 @ verizon and sell my DNA for around $200, essentially breaking even. I am not sure what is coming down the road but I like HTC devices.

Should I pull the trigger on this? What about you guys who have DNA's and One's?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raichur0xx0rz:
I wouldn't say that it's such a huge difference that you need to upgrade, but it really depends on you. If you don't have any problems with your DNA and are comfortable keeping it for a while, there's nothing wrong with just keeping it. Performance on the DNA is very good still, so it's not like say, having an iPhone 4 with a degraded iOS 7 experience with the option to go to a 5S.

The M8 does give you some nice upgrades, in terms of build quality, battery, audio, and some software features (IR Blaster, double tap to wake, etc). It's a worthy upgrade from the DNA, but yeah, kind of depends on you. DNA will only decrease in value going forward, and I'm actually trying to get rid of the two I have right now, replacing them both with M8's...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fourstarzzzz:
Thanks! I think the main reason why is to try and get as much as I can for my DNA. Also, the battery really drains fast when using GPS/watching videos etc. From about 6am till 10am using gps for about 20 min and watching videos for 1 1/2 hours, my battery was at 4%.

[LG Optimus G Pro] aami.aami:
hi. im kinda new to Lg phones . its infact my first LG phone ever.

first off, i will get something cleared out to all. im disappointed at almost no support from LG! its been a year and still 4.1? no updates what so ever? this was their flagship phone that was primarily focused to compete with Note 2 and even S4 but look where they are now! 4.4 KK!

now to the point of thread, i just got out of misery of soft brick. and just today i got the V5.5 rom of THIS rom.

out of curiosity i downloaded some benchmarks. here are my scores.

after looking at these scores i was like WTF is this??? guys any help, that are these scores NORMAL for LG OGP or is it my device???

i mean my Note 1, i remember, had better scores in Benchmarkpi than this! :eek:

Linpack score:

[/IMG]

Quadrant scores:

[/IMG]

Benchmarkpi scores:

[/IMG]

also another problem. i have installed the LG drivers for the mobile in the pc and also lg pc suite is installed. but when i connect this piece of **** to PC, it connects and disconnects continuously. it does not even show up in Computer. even after i have reinstalled the drivers like 6 times, its sitll not connecting. it connects when ever it desires. this phone is real ****. i ****ing hate it now.

pls some one help how to fix this???

pls assist.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
4.4 is coming to our device. Be patient. As for the low scores, make sure quadcore management is turned off.

The heavy theming of LG's skin makes it extremely resource heavy which will "slow down" your phone.

If you're that worried about benchmark scores, try Carbon with the OC'd kernel. On Antutu, I get about 30k.

Benchmark scores are completely irrelevant. Even if your OGP scored lower than your Note 2, the OGP is still outperforming it in basically every way. Better processor and GPU.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Shira_nai:
Have you change the Thermal Daemon Mitigation to "ON"?

And maybe you can try using other usb cable.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aami.aami:
you are right about the performance and about the relevancy of benchmarks. i dont trust them myself but even then man, these scores are too low for Snapdragon 600 :( im kinda worried about my hardware. thats why asked help here.

and i just wish LG brings KK soon enough.

i will be honest, i got this phones just cause of i got LG monitor like 4 months back and i was amazed by its display! like really amazed!

it is an IPS panel and its amazing. i got so impressed i got LG OGP just cause of its "LG make".

phone is very good. and to be honest i find more potential in LG Optimus UI than samsung's touchwiz cause i have had almost ZERO lag until now. its been a week i got this phone.

the only concerns i have are batter in stock roms is ****. i got this V5.5 rom which kinda corrected the battery or its just placebo effect but i find it better.

i just wish LG brings KK sooner man.

thanks for reply though :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Like I said, give Carbon and the OC'd kernel a try. I've gotten 2052MHz to run stable on here even though I prefer using 1890MHz just in case. Having the GPU bumped up to 531MHz won't impact battery life and with hardware acceleration enabled, there is no possible way for this phone to lag. :3

I currently just use google hangout as my sms service, but I find it very annoying that every time I go to send a text I have to choose my contact and then scroll down to their phone number otherwise it will try to contact them via hangouts. A lot of times the contact doesn't have hangouts and I accidentally choose that method and realize and hour or so later when they haven't replied.

Is there anyway to have it default to contacting via SMS, otherwise I may have to install handcent or something.

I've become a little bored of the Note now because I've had it since launch but I'm a big fan of carrying spare batteries and the screen size.
