testing now, in build 5/7, my phone get some lag after 3-4days, sometime get low volume in call :silly:
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Nice Update...Thanks...no call volume bug....No call waiting BUG...

I wouldnt comment on battery cz lately i get bad on all kitkat ROMS..This ROM is completely stable

and about Moving apps to SD card...well i don't use that feature totally...Internal memory is enough for me

Currently running on system 1
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I don't get the greatest battery life on any ROM either, I even bought a new battery just to see. However I haven't given a good comparison to stock so I always just assumed that I remembered the battery life being better than it really was. I don't put a lot of effort into conserving battery either though. I leave wifi and data on all the time. I have never cared too much since the majority of the time I can charge.

I heard ya on the SD card, I'm on system 1 too and don't really need it. I plan on fixing it for two reasons. First because it will hopefully help others and second for knowledge. The two reasons I'm here doing this at all, well and it's fun too!

Do you have heat problems? I seem to heat up quite a bit when using Firefox. It may heat up other times but I only seem to notice it when using Firefox...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Heat up seems normal in Kitkat. I don't use Firefox, neither used carbon so far but at times I have noticed phone heating up sometimes during usage in other ROMs I've used. For instance sometimes it heats up even during changing themes in the CM.

Anyways I would like to know what major difference between carbon and CM/Slim.

Also is it possible to free up more space in internal memory in these Kitkat ROMs like 6+GB is freed up while installing JB leak?
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
No heating so far.. I use chrome...

I really dont face heating issues at all..at any times
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
firstly u can read the OP, it will give a great idea on the differences.

Well being user , i can say the ability to customize..is its difference with CM. also has the inbuilt battery saver app..where u can tone down the CPU freq to save some battery...everything is the way you want it to be with this ROM...I was using carbon since JB time...was very happy when the KK version came out for this..so go ahead and give it a try..it wont disappoint you.I have carbon on system 1 and its running great :good::good:

I dont think so...:p:p:p No ROM can do that...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Downloading .... Will try it soon :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I put a new build up that will allow you to move apps to SD. Thanks to alteredlikeness for the tip on this one!
[Motorola Atrix 2] con_sau_may_tinh:
my phone run great when install, but baterry drain too much when turn off screen(turn off active display, 2g signal, no wifi,...) it's drain 30% one night

when active baterry saver, phone laggy...any suggestion?
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Hello...there is batterydrain issue on cm11 after 6th July BUILD...If u really want good battery with good battery consider switching to this build...

P>S : Atleast for me, others have reported good battery though

[MENTION=4899078]dmroeder[/MENTION] , i know its not good to ask you to do stuff....But could you build a carbon ROM based on the kernel of this particular build?? CM11 6/7/14 build...its kernal has all call bug fixes with great battery life....

For some reason need for speed most wanted will not work on this ROM and always force closes.pretty much any kitkat ROM I have tried does not work with this game.it does however work on stock ICS and numa..is there a way to fix this on the carbon ROM?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Can you get a logcat when it crashes? Maybe that will reveal a clue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I put a new build up this morning. Just some minor carbon changes. Looks like they removed hover and put heads-up notifications which I guess is (or similar to) the Android L notification system. Just go into a particular app that you want notifications from and check the heads-up enable box.

Edit: I temporarily moved the build, I'm facing camera force closes. Gotta look into it when I get back home

Edit2: Disregard, I rebooted and the camera works. Build back up.
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Great ROM , best CARBON build

Thanks a lot...The ROM is running Great , making it my system 1..daily driver...thanks a lot :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Glad you are enjoying it! [emoji106]
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Facing a strange issue....CAmera opens up on its own and clicks pictures continously....Thsi happens every 10 mins...I think this may be a harware issue though
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Wow, I haven't faced any issues like that on any rom
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:

Most stable KK rom i have tried on the Atrix 2..no reboots no com.andoid.media stopped errors and no lags..my daily driver!! ;):thumbup::thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I did post an update on 9/6 and failed to let anyone know. I uploaded it to mediafire then I got busy and forgot. Nothing really new, just updates from Carbon.
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
yeah...by far the best..CARBON didn't disappoint me on JB...and it has lived up to its reputation in KK..My daily driver too

Time to get on the 6/9 build :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
Very smooth.

But there's an option for call recorder, but the recording file has no sound, how can I use this?

And it's very laggy when recording video and playback, anyone faces that problems?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Thanks for the feedback PhoenixNghi. I don't have my A2 with me today, do you think you could get me a logcat of the call recording issue? I've never tried to use that option. If you can, PM me a link to it.

I'll see what I can figure out tonight when I get home from work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Hey Phoenix, what's the build data you are using? I'm not having lag in my video recording on my latest.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
I use carbon-4.4.4-UNOFFICIAL-edison-20140906

There're some bugs such as: lag in camera and gallery, cannot download from GPlay, cannot record calls, but when I restart, it works normally.

About the call recorder, now I can hear their voice but my voice, I will test more and send you a logcat

Thank you.

After installing some apps and change to ART, my phone reboots, recaches about 100 apps, then reboots and stuck at the boot animation :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Go into bmm, wipe and clean, do a fresh install, reboot. First thing u should do is change to art and see if you get stuck again. If so keep on dalvik. If u really want art, cm11 art works great. I posted my benchmarks on the jbx thread a moment ago

atrix 2 cm11
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
I'm using the 23/8 build and is super awesome so far..zero bugs..
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
Does calls recording work? Had been waiting for this function for a long time...

Seems only Carbon ROM has calls recorder, right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Carbon on my nexus 5 doesn't so I don't see why it would on a2. Unless it's disabled on n5 for some reason. I don't have a sim in my a2 right now, I have to get a sim adapter to put it back in. Until I do that I can't look at the call recording.

I don't have any lag with video recording or gallery and art works fine for me
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I posted a new build. Nothing special, just a fresh sync of carbon sources. Life has been crazy busy, not much downtime.
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
Big 10x! for the new flavor of this super rom!
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
I'm using latest build on sys 1 and screen wakes for no reason!! My phone's just sitting and then it wakes. I disabled cLock app and uninstalled all apps still not helping. Using PA pico gapps
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
OK found the culprit! Disabled pocket mode and it's all good now! Excellent rom!
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
Became slow and laggy after using a few weeks :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Same case with Mokee thats why i like SlimKat.
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
are you running out of space? if not wipe cache and dalvik cache.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
For my phone, even with a fresh installation, Carbon doesn't smooth enough for a KK ROM.

Now I switch to LiquidSmooth, more toys, more stable :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
The eventual laggy-ness of most of our roms, along with other issues like stability and battery life, is basically a general thing for most KK roms since its release.:rolleyes: Heck, we're surprisingly better off than even some of the latest phones due to our epic dev support back then and now.;)

What I really want to see is our A2 being able to run Android 5.0 Lollipop, and its sources should be released soon.:D So we have to watch and see what happens later, but we're far from done yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Hey everyone, I haven't been using my A2 lately as I have a new phone but I'm still trying to keep up on builds. I have a problem though, I powered up my A2 the other day and it would only go into recovery. I'm trying to fix it but haven't had any luck yet (tried mcgyvering the battery last night). Hopefully I can get it running otherwise I won't be able to test builds before I post them.

Unrelated: Someone should check out the Torch app permissions. On my new phone (I run Carbon on it too, not compiled by me) they are way out of line with what the app does. I looked at the apps manifest on github and it doesn't jive with what my phone is saying. Just curious about what others are seeing on the A2.

edit:I should clarify a little, I'm not trying to cause a panic. Looking at the app's source code, the permissions are much less than what my phone is reporting (not my A2, my new phone). The source code looks pretty harmless so I don't think there is any conspiracy going on, I just wanted to see if the A2 is reporting the same permissions.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
OK, Atrix 2 fixed, new build up. Nothing major, resync'd sources and compiled. I noticed that they added a new feature to HeadsUp where you can swipe a notification to the left to open it in a floating window.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Source is released, want to hear good news if someone can figure out the possibilities :D

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/source-built-android-lollipop-for-various-devices/
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I'm syncing them now. We'll see what I can figure out.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Wow! I run carbon on my skyrocket and checked the permissions on the torch app after reading this and it has access to just about everything I can think of. Surprising. Thanks for the heads up. :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] bharatrathi15:

Coming from NUMA 4.04

I can only install Gapps 4.4.2. If I try 4.4.4 I get errors no matter what size partition I use. Is that normal? Other than that I really like this ROM. Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
Did you use the micro gapp?
[Motorola Atrix 2] eviljonny1:
I tried them all

I dont know what made me then try 4.4.2 but to my surprise it worked. I am starting from scratch right now and putting Carbon on Sys1 then I'll try micro Gapps 4.4.4 first.

***Edit: No joy with Micro Gapps 4.4.4. I can only install micro Gapps4.4.2. Everything is working great and I love the ROM so if I am not missing anything spectacular with Gapps 4.4 then I am really happy.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Sometimes it does good to format the SD card because files can get corrupted and cause the media scanner to hang and keep the device awake. Even if you're not having that particular issue there's no harm in formatting it if you've got a backup of anything of value/use to you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] eviljonny1:
In the event I need to reflash - is there a way to back up all the custom settings I have made to Carbon? Such as everything I have set in Carbon Settings, (Interface, Pie, Status Bar, etc.)? I took me 2 hours to get the device running/looking perfectly . Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
just flashed the 20141103 version in system1. everything working ok, except i dont have access to internal storage. huh?!! any ideas on how to fix it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
What do you mean internal storage? Could u give me the path?

AFAIK, the internal storage is only for installing apps, you cannot put anything on it like sdcard
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
before I had access, and could write anywere in the phone internal storage.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
I guess the permission is not granted correctly for your Root Explorer app

Have you installed any root manager app?

If not, install supersu, then open the app and it will ask for permission
[Motorola Atrix 2] james.faction:
Can you elaborate please?

Google searches come up with a lot of instructions for installing BMM... but all link to the Play Store for a download of BMM. It appears it has been removed from the Play store.

Where can I get BMM?
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Starrider17:
Starrider17 here... and I have a question. Firstly, however, here is a brief background before the question. I currently own the Atrix 2 with the most current version of ROM offered here within for the MB865 AT&T based phone. Further, I reside in the states and I have Carbon Rom 4.4.4 on System 1 (it is my only O/S on the phone).

I have searched this forum and other places, but I have not found an answer to my question. It is as follows. If the Atrix 2 out of the box with ICS has Bluetooth version 2.1 (extracted from GSMArena's website), does having Carbon Rom's Android 4.4.4 change the Bluetooth version of the phone? Please advise what it is, and where this information could have been obtained so that I can learn accordingly. Thanks in advance for the reply. Starrider17.

Preface: I am a noob and/or idiot. I've never modded a phone before now.

So I've been trying on my own for about 12 hours now and I'm tired.

I've been trying to use SDMerge400 with CM9: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2215406

I've tried Exodus v2.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506589

I've successfully rooted the device, installed CWM, and installed the roms. Everything went smoothly except that the phone doesn't recognize the SIM. Baseband is unknown and IMEI is null.

I've reverted the phone back to stock firmware (v12a: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=11 , the only Canadian one) and rooted it. Everything works, including the SIM, modem, etc.

I'm assuming (note: I know nothing) that there are drivers in the stock firmware that aren't in the rom. Can I get those drivers and edit the rom's .zip? Which files do I need? Or is it something else that simply isn't working?

What I really want is SDMerge400. This phone's memory is too small. I don't need CM9 specifically, but it would be nice to have the upgrade.

Can I get root access after that?

-update again and get rid of the drain

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dratliff:
When I press the button on the BT headset to answer incoming call the ringing stops on the caller end and on the cingular 8125 (rom 2.25), but there's a 2-3 second delay before the phone actually connects the call to the BT headset.

On the caller side they have 2-3 seconds of dead airtime, after the ring stops. Because of the connection delay, the caller is already saying hello - hello - hello (etc) thinking the call has been answered.

I've tried 3 different bluetooth headsets (Moto 850, Plantronics 645 & 655, Jabra JX10) and they all experience the same problem.

I've verified it's not associated with the 3 second ring delay issue (posted on XDA) - phone rings almost immediately.

Any thoughts, recommendations, hacks/tweaks will greatly be appreciated. This is becoming more of a problem, as I use my phone mostly for business.

Otherwise the phone has been outstanding.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pdxadmin:
BT headset delay

I have the same issue with T-mobile MDA and Jabra BT250V. Not only does the delay confuse callers, but they hear the ring tone and buzzing of the vibrator before they hear me... hello...hello...hello. It really sucks.

I have tried a Motorola headset (H350) the delay is shorter but the headset sound quality sucks. I was going to try the Jabra JX10 next and hope for the best.

I've also tried using the "BT on" feature of PocketZenPhone to avoid the delay. Not a satisfactory solution.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Is anyone answering calls on their BT headset and getting a quick connection? Is this just me?????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shogunmark:
i have the moto HT820 stereo bluetooth headset and experience nothing like that, even when running my bluetooth gps reciever... the call is answered as soon as i hit the button... only problem i have is the lagging and skipping music, but i dont listen to music so its not a problem
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DavidT.:
My H700 delays on both of my Qteks (Wizard and Prophet). It only delays if I close the boom. If I leave the headset with the boom open it picks up right away when I press the side button. With the boom closed when it rings, I find that if I open the boom I have to wait 2-3 seconds for the sound to transfer. If I open the boom and press the button, 2-3 seconds it will hang up on the caller because I guess opening the boom is picking it up already :D

However, my HT820 stereo headset doesn't have any of those problems. Quick and easy, picks up right away; however there's no boom. My Bluespoon AX5 doesn't delay either.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bhang:
I had a bt250, and that delay is a known problem with the bt250,possibly making the problem worse
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I'm on stock E980 Kitkat and I just rooted my phone using the Root Tool for Kitkat (can be found elsewhere in the OGP forums). Everything went fine and the next step is to install SuperSU or Superuser from the Play store. This has been my routine all through my Android life: Root and then install a superuser app.

Well, currently I don't have any of these Superuser apps installed (honestly, I was in a hurry and simply forgot to install one) and everything is working perfectly fine. According to Root Checker, I have full root access. All apps who require root are working perfectly fine; maybe even better. Titanium Backup restored all my apps. No issues whatsoever!

So my question here is this:

In order to have proper root and for everything to qork perfectly, is a superuser app really necessary? Or can I just keep things the way they are right now (no su app) and expect everything to work just fine?

PS:

I've been having to reflash my rom several times because of certain root-requiring apps constantly force closing on me. I've had SuperSU installed while this has been happening and without an su app, these apps are doing exactly as they are supposed to. I'm now wondering if there is a bug (or just some other issue) in SuperSU or something.
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
In Beanstalk thread, its OP recommended to install SuperSU App and uninstall it afterwards.

Kinda confusing and i dont know its purpose from a developers perspective.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
My guess, and this is coming from the few hours today using my phone without an SU app, is that it's a security thing (?).

Without the SU app, anything on my phone has root access as it pleases and I have no clue as to what is being granted these permissions. This is fine for me personally because everything I have installed that needs root, I WANT to have root access and it's really annoying to me to have to have to manually grant everything access.

So, I'm starting to wonder if the SU apps are simply for managing root access; allowing certain apps permission, while restricting the access of others.

So far, I've been running the phone several hours without any SU app and the phone is working great! I don't have to constantly grant apps permission all the time (or well, first time I guess).
[LG Optimus G Pro] romikavinda:
Super SU

It is better if you could have Super Su installed because then you can control apps that needs root permissions. Some times root privileges required apps can harm your device.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
OK, so SU apps like SuperSU are basically used to manage root access from root-requiring apps. A security measue basically.

This is what I figured, but had to make sure.

Thank you :)
