My Appreciation

I have been using this Carbon ROM since RC4 and I'm glad there's going to be a Lollipop version of it. Now, I'm going to download RC5 and hopefully, I'll be experiencing improvements. Everything works as it should and I just want to say a simple thank you for the time spent into making this ROM to its current state.

Just a heads up, the Xiaomi Redmi 1S' kernel sources are going to pop up tomorrow. They say that it will greatly improve the feel of custom ROMs because of the hardware drivers being released in public. Will you be benefiting from this news? Lastly, Keep up the good work! You'll do wonders.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Tarun93:
Carbon L sources r not yet updated n incomplete once they r completely updated I m off building carbon

Nameless L source files r in process n downloading I may also take time to figure out the changes that r need in kernel for optimization n things thanx for being patient n pls do leave feedback for RC5
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] imashutosh:
RC5 is giving me trouble just like RC4....battery just keeps on jumping from one level to the other...I came to RC5 from RC3 ( so far the best in my opinion to me) by performing a clean flash but still the same...some help ??
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Its not possible to download the ROM, the links don't work.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Tarun93:
recalibrate you battery is it just Carbon Rom or even happening with others ??? many of the people facing such issue had to replace the phone from Flipkart
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Tarun93:
both the links are working bro checked n cross checked
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Tarun93:
try flashing a fresh copy of Gapps bro

flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP (TWRP is wat i prefer)Stable TWRP flash it via fastboot mode

take a backup of your contacts n things

enter the TWRP recovery (power off the device n hold the vol + n then press the power button)

wipe system data cache n dalvik cache partitions

go back to the main menu

flash the Carbon rom n then the Gapps Gapps link download any one nano pico modular as per you taste but you need to flash the Gapps to the playstore n google account access

reboot n you are done

Enjoy the Rom :) :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
So as u confirmed they are working fine I tried opening the thread in browser and they work but in Tapatalk they don't, the redirect link from Tapatalk don't work. Anyways, thanks. Downloading now
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] imashutosh:
Dude carbon RC3 is doing great with the same phone in terms of battery (no jumps n good backup) but next two releases are having battery issue with me...no other ROM gave me this problem till date and I've tried almost all.(so I'm back again on RC3)

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

And yes I tried calibrating battery with RC4 but had no luck.....as soon I switch back to R3 everything's fine....
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] leo31:
im using Path Social Media, but with CM11 , the apps always force close when trying to load some picture on time line. but never happened with stock rom. so i decided to revert back from cm11 to stock.

is this rom give a same bug like others cm11 rom?

especially for path social media
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] tatiraju.rishabh:
This is probably the best ROM i've used for the device. I have been an avid user of Carbon ROMs in the past devices I've owned.

To be absolutely bugfree i clean flashed RC5 with PA Gapps. Music playback, however, stops unexpectedly, even when the app says the music is being played. It returns back after a few seconds. Converting the music app to a system app reduces this but it is prevalent. Any idea? I had Mokee before and it showed the same behavior. Maybe something with the sources? It wasn't there in RC4.

Except for that excellent rom, terrific battery backup, and good to hear Lollipop is on its way. With the Xiaomi kernel sources being released today I hope the development will accelerate by a lot :D
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Tarun93:
As I said it was a dirty build that I had to release anyways I will release ota update for it I forgot to update the vendor blobs n make a few additions of my own

it will be a delta update so don't worry
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Gh0sT.RPG:
Unfortunately am experiencing same here. Overnight battery drain is 7-8%. On RC3 it was around 1%.

@ Tarun93 i think the main culprit here is network signal. When i woke up i received so many messages regarding data usage for the session, nearly 10. So, looks like either mobile data gets on/off or network drops from 3g to 2g when screen off. Now that sources are out this shouldnt be a considered as a bug :)

Will report back after analysing Better battery stats carefully

A Little Review

Well, I did a full review of this ROM at the MIUI forums (I can't post links yet). Although, this was in RC4 and not RC5.

I just flashed RC5 a few hours ago and so far, these are the things I noticed:

- APN is now filled correctly

- Device sometimes insists to be awake

- Music playback stutters a lot; it seems to be better using third party applications (musiXmatch)

- Volume is extremely loud; tuning the volume to low amounts actually does the trick (currently at 5/7) and tuning it to max volume gets too distorted

- Camera and video quality is impressive; it's much better than other custom ROMs but MIUI still is superior

- Sends 2+ SMS into one in 2G finally; I was having trouble with that and I barely use the data connection, so this 2G is more preferrable for me

If only there was a way to edit the carrier names in the notification drawer. My second carrier has an extremely long name and I'd love to change it. GravityBox only had it in JB not in KK.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] onlyredmi:
Hi, I am about to download this ROM.

The Word Terrific mentioned about stands for Good backup or otherwise.? :)

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] saumik.bose:
could you help me with the GAPPS link i need to download? It is an amazing ROM however giving bootup problem at times - due to GAPPS missing i believe. .

When Battery Icon As Replaced As Text

The Text Is Gray No Change Occurs When The Colour Is Changed

There Is No Change In Colour During Charging :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sprwuffie:
Some Workaround

Hiding notification labels seems to cause repeated force closes as well. I solved the idle drain by disabling Google Play Services Wakelocks, namely Check In and Event Log. Only 2% drain for 8 hours.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] saumik.bose:
Need help: Phone not booting after Restart / Reboot

I would like to thank the developer for this great piece of work. The customization of ROM possible, addition of date, changing of colors of each icon etc is just amazing.

I would need your help to fix my issue guys:-

The ROM is working absolutely fine when i install along with the Gapps NANO package i have loaded. The issue comes as soon as i switch off and try to turn on. The MI logo will remain on and on.... the Carbon ROM logo will never appear.... sigh! Took battery off and tried to switch on - the same story will repeat..

I did restore my original MIUI ROM through CWM recovery and repeated the Carbon installation 3 times yesterday, each time the same issue: repeating

Phone works like a charm during 1st reboot.. Google Play store also works fine.. As soon as I reboot or restart the phone, the MI logo will not disappear and i have to flash MIUI ROM as only remedy...

Any idea why this is happening to me? I am using the latest build of 28 Dec 2014 for Carbon ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] tatiraju.rishabh:
To turn off device frequently waking up, Settings > Carbon Fibers > Lockscreen. Swipe right to notifications and uncheck Pocket Mode. It might be the proximity sensor thinking that you've pulled out the phone from the pocket. I had this issue since RC4 and this fixed it.

By stutter, do you mean playback pausing for a long interval and continuing or does it play continuously choppy? If it is the former then i'm facing too. Changing the music app to system app reduces (but not removes completely) the stuttering.

I have the same issue with the carrier name, but i use a lollipop theme which completely removes the carrier names from the notif panel. If you're comfortable with it, you can get the IdeaL Dark theme from Play Store.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Not an issue at all.! :) Great work!
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] tatiraju.rishabh:
I wonder why people are having the battery issue...

I just got one day backup yesterday, considering it was New Year's eve and there was moderate usage of the phone, excellent battery backup.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sprwuffie:
I got rid of the pocket mode a while back. Now that really makes the device awake all the time, but the Google Play Services wakelocks made the device awake sometimes. Anyways, that's sure is solved!

It seems to be the reason why musiXmatch worked better than the Apollo. Unfortunately, Apollo being a system app somehow gives it the hiccups.

I'd check that out. I'm using a Lollipop theme as well but it wasn't hiding the name.

The battery backup is really superb. Free RAM is always around 500+ MB when no applications are going around. Just a screenshot that my Redmi 1S is having deep sleep much better. (And yet, another XDA limitation on picture posting) I got 18 hours and 50 minutes with 4 hours of screen on time with this ROM.

Any help?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sumitsrk123:
Heating issue is a kernel issue.....it can be solved by released kernel
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
This isn't much of a problem as much a question about potential performance - I have been using this rom and its great but even on this ROM our device still can't play HEVC videos smoothly as there is no H/W decoding support, I try playing HEVC 720p videos on S/W mode and they work for the most part but they lag every noe and then and the phone heats up like hell. I had a nexus 7 (2012) and it was able to play same HEVC 720p videos on H/W absolutely smoothly and without any heating problems, I am wondering if there is ever a proper Lollipop ROM for this phone, will HEVC decoding work properly, is there any chance of 1080p HEVC videos running on the phone smoothly, even 720p running smoothly will be a huge deal. Anyone has any idea about this ? I tried searching for general HEVC lollipop support and no details bout performance anywhere, just says that lollipop supports native HEVC decoding.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sprwuffie:
Silly Experience

I just re-installed the ROM after a wipe and suddenly I got this 18% battery drain of 8 hours idling. I, then, realized that my second sim has its data enabled by default, which I completely forgot to turn off. I use my first sim as my data connection, which is why the EDGE indicator on the second sim doesn't show up. After that, my battery is back to it's 1% battery drain of 8 hours idling. Perhaps, it's the reason why many experience battery drain in idle use. It's in Settings > Mobile Networks > SIM-2 > Uncheck Mobile Data.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sumitsrk123:
My Battery Backup is good...
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sprwuffie:
Same here. Mine was only 18 hours with the same amount of screen time (maybe because I play too much games and I use data quite a bit)

No need to update to rc4....u can flash rc5 directly....but remember to wipe data,cache,system....
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] b00gieMan_droid:
Returning to this thread after a long time..

No,bro......its not used yet........
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] WalkerBales:
I flashed this ROM today... The ROM had no noticeable bugs.. But it is very laggy, animations are not smooth !! You can see lag while using day to day apps like Whatsapp and Chrome... The ROM can't be called stable bcoz of lag.. I hope the dev addresses the issue and fixes it.... I respect his hard work !!
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] arunal_123:
I have been using this Rom since RC 2 or 3. And i admit that this is indeed a stable Rom.

I have never faced any Lag in this Rom.

It just depend upon how you use your device. I have always felt Lag in Miui Roms. But in this, NO.

Its fine if there are some bugs here and there. The devs are working on it.

The one and only major bug that everyone face in any custom Rom is the "Touch working even during calls when screen turns of."

But to be honest, its still not a major issue.

Thanks...
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] WalkerBales:
Try using other ROMs, you will feel how laggy is this ROM compared to them !!
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] chris5s:
I have to disagree. Having used most other ROMs for Redmi 1S, this ROM felt comparably smooth and responsive, if not more so than most.

System animations and transistions and apps all responded well with no lags.

Just my experience....

Peace.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] vrij:
The ROM lags a bit in the power save performance mode. Place it in Balanced mode and its perfect.

Only issue is an occasional FC of system ui.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Have u considered that something might be wrong with the setup, did u try wiping and reflashing ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] WalkerBales:
Yeah.. I tried the ROM twice with full wipe !! First I tried RC4 and then RC5, on both I faced immense lag..

Can anyone help me...I've been using this ROM since ages..I love it...

But what I want to know is...how can I receive calls without pausing my current apps...a few other ROMs allow this feature..where the incoming call comes in a small box either on the top or bottom of the screen and we dont need to pause the app to receive the call...it never seems to happen with me..so how can I get that?

It does support offline charging, thats how i do it everyday. Not sure about cr charger though :P it should support
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Offline charging ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] vivekchamoli:
You need to change scheduler to" row" to vanish lags. .and set min freq to 750 and max to 1200. Hope this helps else you did a dirty flashing which does weired things ..go with fresh install ( cache + dalvik cache + system+ data ) format and the start fresh install.

Hi!

I installed RC5 Rom with TWRP. Clean flash. I have a problem with dual sim settings. In Default Sim selection i choose "Prompt user" for voice calls and sms sending. But phone sometimes forget this and calls from Sim1, which is my private number, So if I have to call buisenes call it calls from my private number. Can somebady help me to fix this?

Offline charging occurs when the phone is charged up while it's turned off. Sometimes, custom ROMs don't have it at early stages.

Yeah, it has offline charging.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Hmm, never heard of this before. I have tried 100s of ROMs over mant different devices, all always charge the phone when its off. I tried alpha ICS ROM made using the emulator ROM released by google, on the original galaxy s, it barely even booted but even that still had offline charging. Anyways, thanks for informing me about this.

Bad kernel optimization,this one uses stock kernel (now)..so if it works on stock,will work here !
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sprwuffie:
Well, one example is MIUI v6 by syhost. It doesn't have the feature yet. Oh, and I also had problems with offline charging in the early builds of CM11 Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (Maclaw stuff)

Meanwhile, does giving a logcat regarding the systemui crash help in the development? I don't know how to do that though. Occurances can be rare. Wallpaper insists to be Holo and sometimes stays Holo even if I update the wallpaper. It's even indicated that my chosen theme wallpaper is active and still the Holo background is present.
