Actually, I wouldn't say that that was the issue at all. The reason I included grakernel in my ROM is because I tested it out quite a bit before releasing it to everyone. I have CarbonROM installed on my phone along with Grakernel. My vibration along with everything else works just fine. In fact, I'm using a lot of features from Synapse as well and I'm still having no issues.

I've only had Grakernel break vibration once and that was because the recovery wasn't wiping the partitions correctly. Once I got TWRP installed(previously was using RUU's to solve this issue), I do advanced wipe and that problem forever went away. Now I just use grakernel by default on all the stuff that I've been developing for. It works great. If you're having issues with it, try that! Synapse is pretty amazing.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] a_square:
Would you mind sharing what partitions you wiped with TWRP? I'm a novice to this scene and and terrified of bricking my brand new phone.. I tried CWM full wipe, then TWRP default system restore, then I tried wiping data, cache, delvik, and system under advanced options. I love the mod but I'd really like vibration to work. Thanks!

RUU_A5_CHL_K44...8306_signed_exe

When I bought the 816 it was a 1.13, and the above update 1.50 would not install. So I uploaded it to dropbox. My question is I dont have enough space on the sd card to do a backup (cause of sense 6 and htc bloatware) if I have a problem with the CarbonRom,

1) will this RUU install fastboot?

2) is the stock recovery also in this pkg?

3) will it get rid of 3 gig of htc bloat?

I wont have a nandroid or cwm backup, this is all I have. I am unlocked, cwm 6.0.4.7 installed, and chains su v2.45. ITS ROOTED.

Thanks for your help.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kenmoini:
I've been wanting to install a custom ROM on my 816 for a while but have been waiting for a stable one. I had my eye set out on CM12 but it seems as if there are still a lot of issues with it even if it's recently become official.

I'm wondering, I have CWM 6.0.5.1 installed. I'm guessing that it and the old TWRP doesn't wipe partitions correctly but the one linked to in OP, TWRP 2.8.4.0, does? If so, then Grarak's Kernel works with vibration and all? Also, I thought Carbon was AOSP based, and that Grarak's kernel was for CM variants only?

I'm rooted, bootloaded unlocked, guessing I'd flash TWRP 2.8.4.0 linked in OP, wipe system/cache/dalvik cache/boot/data, flash the ROM, reboot into recovery, flash kernel, reboot into recovery, flash GAPPS, reboot normal? Just asking cause I haven't had to do this to a phone in a while. Last phone I had I left stock cause of custom ROM instability :D

Thanks all.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] djprince2001:
I can't get twrp to fastboot. But I see on the 816 it is quirky. I am thinking to dirty flash Carbon over the HTC 44.2, and if it flashes OK I will go back and do a wipeall and reinstall. Only because I don't have backup. I was wondering if I should get Virgin on it first, cause I only on WiFi till my Verizon runs out on the 1st. What's your thoughts?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kenmoini:
Haven't ever had good luck dirty flashing anything but I just successfully flashed TWRP via the Fastboot method. Download from the official page and check the MD5 of the download. For some reason my first downloaded copy was 5KB and the actual file is close to 11MB o.0
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Sure. Wipe all partitions except for MicroSD and OTG. Boot,Data,System,Cache,Dalvik. Can't remember right now if there's another one but basically everything except the sd and otg. Do not backup with CWM, flash TWRP and do a recovery. Only recover from TWRP backups.

1. I'm not sure what you mean. Fastboot is included in the bootloader(HBOOT) of your phone. You need to install the necessary drivers on your computer and just run the exe in order to RUU.

2. Stock recovery is in the thread with the RUU.

3. My ROM doesn't have any bloat in it.

If you have any issues with it, just perform the RUU. It will take it back to stock the way you bought it.

I'm not sure why you would flash the ROM, then click reboot into recovery again when you're already in the recovery to wipe partitions in the first place. lol. Wipe the partitions, flash the ROM, flash GAPPS, restart into the system and set up phone, then go back to recovery to flash the kernel, then reboot. Should work just fine.

Carbon is AOSP based but the kernel works anyway. It's up to you if you want to use it or not. It works fine for me and I've been using it since I released this ROM and I've had no issues at all. To this day, still not one single force close or any weird issues happening.

1. The old TWRP does not work with the a5chl(touchscreen doesn't work). I have the Virgin Mobile variant and that is why I posted the updated recovery.It's noted in the original post.

Do not dirty flash.This will cause issues if you attempt to do it this way. It will flash just fine either way. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "i cant get twrp to fastboot". TWRP flashes just fine with fastboot. It's not really 'quirky' in anyway, it works just fine. o.0 Also, can you explain what you mean by the "should i get Virgin on it first" line. I really don't understand. Are you attempting to use a Verizon 816 on Virgin's network? What variant of the a5 do you even have?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
No option for wiping boot in TWRP or is it just me :confused:
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Let me go into mine and check. o.0

Edit: I do advanced wipe and select everything except microsd and otg. It says it's wiping boot if you pay attention. No option though lol
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Doesn't for me?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kenmoini:
Anyone know of something to fix the horrible sound quality from the speakers? It's loud enough for sure, but even with the volume turned down there's some cracking and popping. I miss my Boomsound clarity...and yes I've tried using the DSP Manager and Viper4Android
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Hmm... I noticed this after I first flashed cyanogenmod. After I flashed, I kinda spilled milk in the speakers though so I thought it was just because of that and ignored it. I do hear the crackling and popping you're talking about though. It bothers me a lot. Hopefully someone here can provide some more feedback or a universal fix.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] moatazabououf:
the problem in ....... mixer_paths.xml file in System/etc folder if some one can fix that sound problem

this values i think

<path name="speaker" />

- <!-- HPOUT = -4.5 dB, DEC = 0 dB

-->

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Do you have the Virgin Mobile version or what variant do you have?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] shahiz369:
I use an Indian dual sim varient.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Oh, okay. Just wondering because the Phil recovery doesn't work correctly on the VM variant. I'm not really one to say whether it will work on yours or not because I don't have that variant, but it should work just fine.

Yeah voicemail works if you hold down 1 in the Phone Dialer app, for the VM Voicemail app you can install it as well. I did but still get some weird formatted texts when I get a new voicemail. I've attached the VM Voicemail app.

[MENTION=3643559]LiquidPlacidity[/MENTION]

Do you ever sync your Carbon or PacROM's with the CM source? Just curious :p
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
I do. I'm in the process of making a major update. No details on ETA yet but it shouldn't be THAT long.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kenmoini:
Also, found that the weird text messages from the 4-digit carrier number was fixed after I installed the VM Voicemail app, and wiped Dalvik.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] norchron:
No mobile data, calls, or sms

I have the VM variant, and followed the directions to the letter, however, now I'm unable to activate my phone. I can't send sms or make calls. It does connect to wifi. Checked with Virgin, and according to them I'm active. What could the problem be? Do you have to flash some Virgin APN?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Open settings, tap "Mobile Networks", then "Access Point Names", and scroll down and select Virgin Mobile.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] shantanu223:
Too biggie icons

Hi can any one let me know how to scal down the icon size. The default icons are very big and bulky. Apart from that ROM works great. A5_DWG, single sim, without GRA Kernel.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Just download a launcher that allows for icon resizing. I recommend Nova Launcher.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kenmoini:
I had a similar issue, my data worked and all, but I could only send MMS. To fix it all and speed up my LTE, I flashed a few files. Google "Universal LTE Virgin Mobile APN Fix" and there's a thread on AndroidForums with two ZIPs I flashed, the APN Fix ZIP, and moonknightus's ZIP to fix the default MMS app. Cleared Dalvik cache, and boom, the APNs were set correctly. Now I get/send MMS without an issue and have faster LTE.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jettino92:
Sorry guys .. but the application gallery htc and htc zoe is not installed ?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
There's nothing wrong with data if you flash it right. I just flashed Carbon back and I just selected Virgin Mobile. I had no issues nor have I ever. If you select Virgin Mobile in the APN settings, they will be set correctly.

'Gallery' is installed by default. HTC Zoe is not installed as that is bloatware. I do not have carrier bloatware on my ROM's.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Ghost1510:
which recovery do u use??

What do u do for sim data ? and which slot do you use

because when i use 2 slot. rom gives android.phone constant crashes
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kenmoini:
I'm pretty sure I flashed it correctly, haven't had any issues. In fact, it was working at first, but then all of a sudden it stopped receiving MMS. After flashing those two files it fixed all my issues, set the APNs to only list VM and also set the carrier to say Virgin Mobile instead of Sprint.

[MENTION=5982163]jettino92[/MENTION]

Default AOSP Gallery is installed and the HTC Gallery app is one of the few apps that work on AOSP ROMs without the additional HTC Framework files. You can download HTC Gallery from the Play Store, and then remove the AOSP Gallery if you like.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Allanco2:
the boomsound sytem work ?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Read through the thread first before posting. This was already addressed.

No need to clutter up the thread with things that have already been talked about.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] shantanu223:
Which service providers are u using ?

In my case if i put Vodafone in SIM 1 and IDEA in SIM 2, there is no system error.

If its vice versa, then I get that android.phone crash error.

[MENTION=3643559]LiquidPlacidity[/MENTION]

Any idea why this android.phone crash is triggered ?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Nope, no idea. I don't have a dual sim variant so I can't test it for myself or anything. Otherwise I'd fix it for you guys.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Allanco2:
Sorry, but I have not seen anything on the first post.my English is very poor ( french ) . I just want a good alternative rom.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] shantanu223:
BoomSound will not work with CarbonRom...as Boomsound uses several libraries which highly depends on HTC proprietary framework only. look for Sony walkman mod by ibanez in xda...
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Well, the default boomsound software for HTC isn't available for other roms. There are a few other ways to get a replacement for it. I'm working on an update on the ROM currently and I'm including some fixes. This stuff should work in the next update.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Ghost1510:

How to remove the sim level bro ?...btw I would say this ROM performs way better than all other custom roms for 816... :good:

1. I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this.

2. Thanks, I thought so too.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Aimbot91:
After battery calibration everything is working great now[emoji4] [MENTION=3643559]LiquidPlacidity[/MENTION] maybe he is thinking about sim indicators in status bar?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] shantanu223:
Yeah..I meant SIM Label, like there is a number 1 beside the SIM icon in status bar...how can we get rid of it.

Is there a way to move apps to sd, or can it be integrated on next update? I usually dont ask for stuff, but even though this is a great rom that kind of kills it. :/
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
That's not up to me. You'd have to ask the CarbonROM team for this. I don't make the ROM itself, that's up to them. I've been making a lot of changes to the current source and integrating some bug fixes, trying to fix audio crackling as well.

Trying to add that would take too much time for me because I'm not sure how, exactly.

Great ROM (So Far)

I tried carbonrom about a month back, and it was fine, except that the sd card did not display information in windows Explorer, so i went to pacrom instead. I used that for about a week, and then i experienced frequent reboots, so i decided to give this one another chance. Ive been running it for two days now, and its great! Hopefully I havent jynxed it!:laugh:
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
Try throttling down the CPU. That seems to stop the reboots....
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] leeb0z:
Was running carbon fine for a couple of weeks until yesterday it rebooted for no reason and continued to boot loop recovery wouldn't even stay up for long before it rebooted. I tried several methods but wound up relocking and RUUing it back to stock. All is well again.

I don't know if it was a Rom issue or twrp issue...but my phone was not happy
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jerpd3rp:
did you throttle the cpu speed down?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] stevebnes:
how do i throttle the cpu speed down? is it under performance options?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jerpd3rp:
yes haha, right there. pulling it back to around 1300 works perfect for me. i also have my governor set to interactive, which has shown a significant battery life improvement

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

i had been, but apparently not enough. works great now
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] leeb0z:
Yes I did have the CPU already throttled
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jerpd3rp:
Performance settings don't stay after reboot

When I reboot my phone, the cpu clock speed, the governor, and the scheduler reset to default. It's a bit irritating, and it gets worse because I have to clock it down so I don't get random reboots. Anyone know of a fix?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Weirdly enough when I was on this Rom I found that deleteing or renaming the mms.apk file (mms.bak) got rid of reboots for me
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
I never got through to updating Carbon. All the work that I did on it, I lost all of it because of a failed HDD. All I have now are Lollipop files for Pac-Rom so this will actually be the final version.

I put way too much work all over it and it was erased. There's no way I want to redo everything.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jesus359:
Nooooo!! I was looking forward for the update. :(
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] exProphecy:
I was on CM12 then tried this out due to various issues. I tried Google maps and for some reason, my GPS ain't locking. I came from stock with the latest OTA lollipop update it was working fine then. Then moved on to CM12 using latest TWRP, GPS did not work there. I then installed this. Fully wiped twice then installed everything then wiped dalvik/cache. Any ideas why my GPS still won't lock? :(

EDIT: Used the stock ROM aGPS fix. All good now :)

Only issue is music stops playing every few minutes after continuous play when using headphones (doesn't stop when using Bluetooth headphones though) and playlists aren't saved after reboot.

Also, the min. clock frequency seems to change back to 1.19ghz when looking entering the performance settings. I don't think it means it actually does revert back since I can see it does go to 300mhz when screen is off, according to the clock frequency's history. I hope this is helpful to whoever still uses or plans to use this. I like this ROM the best so far. Tried CM12, CM11, PacROM, etc

Sprint Variant with no Data working

I have attempted everything I can think of. Installed multiple times, have wiped the device in every way conceivable. I have tried using every APN for Sprint in the Mobile Networks settings. I just can't seem to get Data to function. This is frustrating because other than that single issue. I absolutely love this ROM. It is clean, responsive, small size, and everything to make HTC (a6_chl) feel like my Nexus devices. On WiFi, this ROM flies and makes the phone seem like a brand new one. I'll play with it some more before going back to another ROM but if anyone knows of a work-around, please feel free to chime in and let me know.

To the Devs, Great Job! The ROM really is stable other than this issue.

Edit: I will try doing a wipe after the install later tonight, and will let you know if that fixes anything.

Edit: Seems to only be an LTE issue, if the issue lies in the ROM and not the service provider. Swapped over to 3G and data started working instantly.

UNOFFICIAL VERSION

Notes:I have the Virgin Mobile model. It should work on other variants as well.

If it does not work, I will not debug or try to fix it for you with the dual SIM variants. I do not have a dual SIM test phone.

It was not tested on anything other than the CHL.

Thanks. Have you tried a full wipe? I used it for quite a while and I never had any issues with mine.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] CrashBX:
I did read the post and I was not complaining to you, asking you to fix it or to do anything in regards to this matter - I was just curious if the other users of ART had the same issue since the ROM works pretty well in Dalvik as far as I remember.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Ah okay. I'm not sure if it works or not though actually. Reason I stopped updating Carbon is because they stopped updating themselves. I wish they would have continued when I had the phone but they were going pretty slow.I could always try to make a new build and you guys test it out?
