I have tested this thing for about 3/4 of a day thus far. Since getting rid of the Qualcomm File I notice that CPU usage is now evenly spread across all 4 cores and it will drop to the lowest before going to sleep. This to me has improved performance and battery life. The Rom is Snappy as can be and after closing out some recent apps im down around 200MB used by the system leaving me with over 500 Free, and it rarely creeps over 50% even while Playing Words with Friends, Skype, IRC, Web Browsing, and IM+ all running. Did I mention how great that is not running out of ram ? The roms Slick enough and full of features that there is no need for the xposed framework and all the customizations are working like a charm. I also LOVE the Dark pervasive theme like Slim had, making the whole UI look like it was made to work together.

Wifi on the Most recent build is Still having issues for me connecting to Open Wifi networks, but encrypted ones work fine thankfully. It just seems to stall out on open wifi at "obtaining IP"

Battery life is a little less than stock and I have noticed a few odd things in the "performance" section : When you reboot the phone, no matter the settings it reverts the Min CPU speed back to the Max preventing it from ever down clocking till you move the slider again. (it will display the same location, but the number and the monitor are back at 1190mhz ), the settings don't seem to stick in any of the tabs for me.

Also forgot to mention : I had to Remove the DSPManager : it was crashing when playing any songs (Play Music), every song change it would try and relaunch and crash.

Using this as my Daily Driver for now as its pretty Darn nifty : all the little things like the peak notifications, auto wake when pulling out of the pocket, and all the extra features make this a winner in my book.

Is there any way to get app to sd working on this rom? I have the function on AOSP so I know it works on the device.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] pargop:
Just few hours on this ROM, I have to admit it is much faster than stock. I was just on stock, with xposed etc. With this ROM no need for xposed as all the possible customizations are there already. Really good at the moment, no bugs appeared yet (I already deleted the file in system/bin).

Keep up the good work!

Is there any way to combat the Low Ram bug when it starts after 24-48 hours?

Would rebooting the device get rid of it?

Any help from using RAM manager or similar app?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] J0kker:
Been using this room for almost 48h and it runs flawlessly, no low ram bug yet, but just a matter of time I guess.

No WiFi problem (wpa2).

The only problem I'm facing is the GPS. I had used it many times on stock rom (and so, obviously made some GPS lock) but I can't get it to work.

I only made a factory reset from cwm before flashing.

Thanks for the work and the share, it's so nice to see development on this device.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Somcom3X:
We're in the same boat then, It has never worked for me either.

Nope.

Flashed since yesterday (dirty flash over the previous build, with which i didn't got the low ram bug yet).

Still no problem with low ram for now.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Kahroo:
This ROM has the low ram bug too?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:
I am using the 09-08 version of this ROM and I noticed today that I cannot communicate with my Chromecast (my tablet can communicate with it) and when using Droid Over WiFi Pro, I can no longer attach to my phone from a browser on my PC. In both of these case the devices cannot be found. This is the first time I have tried either one of these since installing Carbon ROM (I have only been using this ROM a few weeks) but I do know that I did not have a problem communicating with either app/device when using the stock ROM. I know there has been issues with WiFi in general although I have not had any problems connecting to access points like other users have. Is either one of the problems I have listed a known issue and if so is there a work around for it? I can live without either since I mainly use my tablet to talk to my Chromecast and it doesn't kill me to have to connect to my PC via USB to transfer files instead of doing it over WiFi but was curious if these are known issues?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Somcom3X:
wifi direct = wifi not working for some people
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:
Does that mean that the inclusion of WiFi Direct in this ROM ensures that apps that want to make a direct connection from the phone to another device that is not a router will not work? Even though WiFi Direct is not being used? If that is the case, does this also have something to do with the hardware that Motorola used in this phone? I ask that because my last phone had WiFi direct on it and it did not interfere with the proper operation of those apps. I can't imagine that WiFi Direct alone will cause the Chromecast app to not work on any phone they are both on. If that was the case, any custom ROM that included WiFi Direct would be poison as far as Chromecast users were concerned. As I said, this isn't that big of a deal to me because my WiFi works just fine as far as connecting to routers go and I can use my tablet to communicate with my Chromecast device. I am just trying to make sense of why this phone seems so temperamental.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Somcom3X:
It's the new driver from motorola, i'm hoping it will work with the next release.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] marc206:
Great work Somcom3X!!!!! this rom is still ram strong 24hrs later. Everyone this is the daily driver finally. Thanks
[Moto G 4G Android Development] setherd:
Loving the ROM, I missed Carbon from when I had a Nexus4.

is anyone getting the wi-fi reconnect bug? I can have a wifi connection at home (802.11G WPA2) but if the phone is sleeping for a few minutes I can't reconnect.

turning wifi off and on does nothing. So far I found that turning airplane mode on for a second then off fixes it.

any ideas?:confused:
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Somcom3X:
Seems like an instance of the ram bug is still there, rebooting the phone however will remove it.

Can anyone confirm?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] pargop:
Yes, I confirm. :( And yes, reboot helps.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] smorks:
yes, i can confirm the bug as well (in the CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140911-2142-peregrine.zip build). rebooted and everything seems to be fine again.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] nklenchik:
Does Carbon use CMs theme engine, or any theme engine?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
Carbon is CM based so pretty sure it has the CM theme engine.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] pargop:
Switched back to stock for now, low RAM bug is a bit too annoying. Anyway, good ROM, will used again if this will be fixed. And I will make a small donation for development for this ;)
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:
My battery drain

Finally figured out what was causing the awful battery life on my phone. This probably will not affect many users but if you are seeing really bad battery life you might want to read on to see if you have the same app's installed.

I use the Informat 3 app for my event and task scheduling. The app itself does not come with any widgets but the makers of the app have an additional free app called "Informant 3 Widget". This is a highly configurable widget app that allows you to configure and place widgets on your home screens for either task lists, daily event lists or a monthly calendar grid. It is this app that is the culprit. Having this app installed on the phone is not a problem but as soon as you configure and place a widget on a home screen all 4 cores of the processor jump up to 70% usage and processor usage for all for cores does not drop below 70% as long as the widget is on a home screen. This did not occur with stock Kit Kat 4.4.4 so at this point in time I highly suspect compatibility issues between their widget and the 2014 CM theme engine. I am going to send an e-mail to them letting them know what I have found and hopefully a fix will be available soon. Simply not using the widget app does fix all of the battery drain issues I was experiencing though and my battery life has been great since deleting the widget from one of my home screens.

[Moto G 4G Android Development] Menelkir:
It seems this rom doesn't support f2fs yet, right?

What fs types can I use with this rom? Because vfat stinks hard. :P
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Somcom3X:
Might want to be noted this is not DD capable, I'm just curious if it's for better or worse.

I believe the Motorola g's are vfat.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Menelkir:
I was using f2fs for my sdcard on cm11 (for obvious reasons, it's way faster and more secure). I'm using exfat right now but...

It's quite strange, since /data is f2fs, I don't know why this rom doesn't support f2fs for sdcard.

[Moto G 4G Android Development] pargop:
Concerning signal I also haven`t noticed any difference in real signal quality, so I guess it is just visual thing.

But low RAM is not just question of meters, but phone is getting really slow and unresponsive. You haven`t noticed this?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Zyquil:
With the newly modified CarbonROM, the low RAM problem still persists, yes?

If rebooting does give it a temporary fix, how long does it take for it to reappear again?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:
My phone used to get that way with the stock ROM. Ton's of lag and apps taking forever to open if I didn't reboot the phone everyday. I have not experienced anything like that with Carbon ROM though. Lag is pretty much non-existent. App's open right up and scrolling from home screen to home screen is super smooth. Things will eventually start to slow down but not until about four or five days without a reboot and every decent phone I have owned has been that way so as far as this phone is concerned, it isn't doing anything out of the ordinary except for the radically different free memory readings depending on where you go to read that info and the low signal issue which still just appears to be the meters.

I did install the ROM dated 9-17 last night and while the Settings\Apps\Running free memory reader still very much disagrees with the free RAM meter in the recents panel and Android Tuner Pro's free mem reading, the amount of free memory has gone way up with this version of the ROM. I am now consistently getting free memory readings in the neighborhood of 170 mb through the Settings\Apps\Running meter and the recents panel and Android Tuner Pro have been as high as 400 mb free but are usually between 160 to 180 mb's higher than what the Settings\Apps\Running meter says.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] pargop:
This is quite strange, that with your stock you had such lags. I assume with stock kernel and default governors and schedulers? MUst be some app that takes all the RAM then.

Where did you get 9-17 version? On Carbon homapage the latest is 9-08??
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Somcom3X:
Practically speaking, ram free ≠ ram displayed. Something's not right with the display.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:

I actually have the exact same apps installed (sans the Motorola stuff that came with the stock ROM). For whatever reason, the stock ROM was a nightmare for me as far as memory usage went. Off of a fresh reboot my phone would already be using 840 mb. In any case, the 09-17 version of this ROM is an unofficial release by Somcom3x. It has modifications that were put in place to try and solve the RAM issue. A link for it can be found on page 10 of this thread - second post down.

[Moto G 4G Android Development] smorks:
I am downloading now, will test either tomorrow or Monday when I get to work.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:
I think it is a little bit too early to say either way. I am not experiencing any of the low RAM issues that other are and the unofficial 09-17 version of this ROM seems to be giving me more free RAM to play with but I am also using a 3rd party app (Android Tuner Pro) and have that app set to manage my free RAM by closing empty applications when my screen is turned off and by applying custom settings for settings such as hidden applications and empty applications etc. Since I am using this 3rd party app, my experience may be influenced by this but I have seen an improvement in available free memory with this unofficial ROM. There is still a ridiculous difference between what is being reported as free depending on where/how you get that data though. The memory bar in the recents panel always shows at least 100 to 130 mb more free RAM than the free memory bar at the bottom of the Settings/Apps/Running settings page shows. In short, the unofficial 09-17 ROM seems to have improved memory issues but there are still things that don't seem quite right. If you are willing to put the time in to properly setup a third party app and ensure you have all of your exclusions setup correctly so that this 3rd party app will not kill apps that run as a user app that you do not want killed, then a 3rd party app such as Android Tuner Pro or ROM Toolbox does seem to solve low memory issues. It is a bit of work to get it configured just right though. I had terrible memory and lag issues with the stock ROM though so the time/work was worth it to me.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
So far it works on some of my usual connections. Will try later or tomorrow on some different APs.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Menelkir:
About this "low ram bug". Guys, try other software to measure the ram, srsly.

When I was in doubt about the memory shown in recent menu, I've tested other tools and those tools always shown the same amount of ram free, except that the ram on recent menu was totally wrong. I don't think it's a ram bug, it's something wrong with the core showing wrong values.

Update: I've commented before seeing [MENTION=4451050]USCanthony[/MENTION] post. ;P

[Moto G 4G Android Development] Somcom3X:
Alrighty people with WiFi issues, using a static IP fixes it.

Low ram bug is next, it's essentially the last major one.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] jmcollis:
So if it's an issue with getting a DHCP address in the presence of WPA2, then that has occurred with certain Wi-Fi access points and Android previously. It will most probably be a timing related issue. That sort of thing is difficult to diagnose.

I would try it but I don't have a problem connecting to Wi-Fi but my phone does have a problem with connection when browsing with chrome. Does anyone else have that problem?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:
I have only been running the 9-22 version since late Monday night but in that short period of time my battery life has been really good. I still had 45% left after 24 hours without a charge (only 3 short phone calls and 5 or 6 text messages during that time).

I am not the best judge of of the low RAM problem being fixed or not since I utilize a 3rd party app to optimize my RAM usage but I am also very happy with the amount of free RAM I have .
[Moto G 4G Android Development] pargop:
I wonder, if MPD in system/bin, which messes up with the frequencies has been the source of my battery drain as I deleted it. This means that all 4 cores are up all the time, although the min. freq. is set to 300 compared to 1200 which I can not change, if mpdecision is there. Actual freqs might be right actualli, just are shown wrong. Using PerfMon to figure it out.
