[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Has anyone else experienced lagginess with carbon? It seems to happen on all builds that I've tried. It's just overall really laggy when I open apps, switch screens, etc. and I can't figure out why. But when I flash other ROM's, they are fine. It's just something with carbon that seems to freak my phone out. Lol. It's still my favorite rom, but I ended up switching to PAC because it got so unbearable. Everything is set up the exact same way between the two and right now, I have zero lag on PAC.

I haven't tried the 12/12 build yet, but I'm not sure if it'd be any better since I've experienced the lag on every carbon build I've tried (not just this one). :/

Just curious if this has been seen by anyone else or if it's just something with my config. Thanks in advance!

Keep in mind that MOAR is TouchWiz based, and Carbon is AOSP based. Quite a lot of differences between the two...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] smaw51:
My mic stopped working after flashing this, clean flash from the previous release. Tried rebooting, still no luck
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] philiptibbs:
I love CARBON rom. I'd be interested in a mm build strictly for Sprint and loaded up with all the goodies. :good::good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
What goodies are u talking about?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] philiptibbs:
A stable version with the new OK4 modem and a ton of pre loaded themes. I like the Alliance rom but can't get it to work for Sprint. Tried apn changer and flashing a sprint apn and sprint kernel and sprint modem and no luck. Data won't work. So I'd love a Carbon Rom that has all the themes Like Alliance Rom. I'd donate to get such a rom or for Alliance to make a sprint compatible rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Mine did too. Didn't even realize it until a day after I flashed... lol. Got a phone call and the other person couldn't hear me. I did a 100% clean install too with the latest Open Gapps. I seem to remember this issue happening a while back too when I used Open Gapps. I'm attempting to fix this with the Boeffla kernel now and if that doesn't work, I will re-flash with the last TK Gapps and see if it fixes. If not, I guess it's back to the previous build or another one unfortunately. :(

UPDATE: Flashing the Boeffla kernel fixed the mic issue on my phone. :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
Can u please upload some screenshots of the themes option
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] philiptibbs:
just search for Alliance Rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Alliance ROM is based on TouchWiz whereas CarbonROM is based on CM/AOSP. Major differences between the two and besides, the "goodies" you seek are available through the CM Theme Engine already. Just search for CM 12 Themes (or CM 13 when/if you update to MM). You can install as many themes as you want. You can also mix and match different aspects of the themes to fully customize your device. :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jnadke:
Mine doesn't work either.

Which is also odd considering I've been running this since it was released. Goes to show how often I make phone calls.

Which Boeffla kernel did you flash? Are you running a recovery that reports as klte?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
I'm running the beta version of his CM 12.1 kernel located here:http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs5/boeffla-kernel-cm/cm12.1_download/Test

I'm currently on beta7 but I see that he released beta8 today so I'll probably flash it this evening.

As for my recovery, I'm just running the latest TWRP. Nothing special about it.

One thing about flashing this kernel - don't flash it during the initial flashing of the ROM. Make sure you do the ROM and gapps, reboot and go through the setup and then reboot recovery and do the kernel. Otherwise it tends to boot loop.

Oh, and FYI - this kernel will change the Device Model in the About screen to G900F, but I haven't seen any adverse effects from it at all...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] philiptibbs:
I loved Carbon rom and wish CM13 was a little more stable. I wish RESURRECTION REMIX V5.6.0 was ready. I really want a S6 ported rom to run on my G900P but none work .
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
You want a lot.

Iam running cm13 right now and its very stable for me.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zade_xSniper:
Does this rom also work for the sport version of this phone?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
I loved CarbonROM too, especially back in the KitKat days. It was so fast and stable! Definitely my ROM of choice.

Now, I hate to say it, but it's just ok... I reported a few days ago that I am seeing severe lag when I run it and while it seemed to be ok after flashing the 12/12 build for a couple of days, it unfortunately has started acting up again. It pretty much gets to the point I can't even use it until I reboot. Then it's ok for a bit, but eventually it starts happening again... I bet I rebooted 15 times yesterday alone, which sucks!

Strangely, when I run PAC or other ROM's, I do not experience the issue at all. But PAC doesn't offer lock screen weather and I really like just glancing at the screen to check it. Lol.

Ahh, first world problems! Heh. [emoji14]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jnadke:
Thanks!

I literally tried that kernel last week (to get enhanced charge rate), and when I flashed in TWRP it said "kltespr not supported". Perhaps I accidentally downloaded beta1 or something. At any rate, I updated to the latest TWRP 2.8.4 (I was running a ridiculously old one) and flashed beta8 just fine!

I also downloaded his Boeffla Config.

I configured:

governor: smartmax-eps

i/o gov (internal): zen

cpu clock: max (2.8ghz)

gpu clock: max (657)

gpu gov: simple-ondemand

Everything is buttery-smooth! And no bluetooth hiccups! (the governors I choose above are max-powersave, max-responsive)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Tarheel:
If I'm on 4.4.2 right now is there anything I need to do prior to installing twrp and flashing this rom
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Just backup the things that you need on a PC :thumbup:

And check what radios do you have... Do they work with lp.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jlonegro:
Ok, so I decided to leave the MOAR world and try this Carbon ROM last week. Flashed the build that was released on 12/12. However, my mic wasn't working when making/receiving calls. Decided to flash the build that was released on 11/27 - everything has been working flawlessly so far! However, I noticed yesterday that my Bluetooth is VERY spotty when connected to my car stereo and/or Bluetooth speakers at home. It's a bit frustrating.

I was wondering if there has been a fix for the Bluetooth issue, or (assuming it was fixed in the 12/12 release) has the mic issue in the final build been resolved? I saw a few others that had the same issue with the mic.

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jnadke:
Edit: NK4 modem seems to be working. Had to install stock and re-provision after updating.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] svz235:
So I installed this and I could not get data service but I could call people just fine. I have a sprint s5 on boost mobile
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] brejzek:
you have to apply the apn for boost
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jnadke:
Not sure what the issue was, but after a few provision resets (had to back-up and go to NK4 stock / MOAR), it's working. I originally changed in Settings > Mobile Settings, "System Select" I changed to "Global" instead of "LTE / 3G / CDMA".

I overrode it to LTE which broke it. I'd recommend not touching it.

Data is working with NK4.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Yeah, I've had issues with these builds with Bluetooth. Mostly with bluetooth not starting up on boot.

I've found the best combination is the original 10/31 build (I don't have a link for the 11/27 build) with the Boeffla beta 8 kernel. For now at least I seem to have a lot fewer startup issues.

I was hoping CM would extend the life of my phone, but I might just go back to TW ROM until I can jump ship. I really wish someone made another IPX rated phone, but the ****ty Samsung software support isn't worth it. Might jump to Nexus or MXPE.

Though the G4 just got 6.0 before any other phone maker aside from the MXPE. My next phone might be a G5.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] svz235:
If it is in the settings, I tried selecting the boost apn but it still did not work.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] brejzek:
OK next would be to add a boost apn instead of the one in the ROM
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] svz235:
That I could do however I have no idea how to access the current apn settings on my MOAR backup so I could use the MOAR APN set on Carbon.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] steveokinevo:
Any tips to reset GPS? It's messing up on me
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Unfortunately, the only real way to fix a messed up GPS is to nandroid your current ROM, flash a TW based ROM and get a GPS lock and then restore your nandroid and GPS should be fine.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] steveokinevo:
I am on spanky's version of marshmallow and tried flashing the stock rooted deodexed ok4 and would not work. What should I flash back on here that will get GPS working again? One that won't affect recovery so I can restore after this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jtadak:
So far this is one of the most stable CM based ROMs I've ran on TW. Only issues for me is data will randomly drop out and a random reboot. Rebooting usually brings data back. Maybe I'll do backup and update PRL on a TW ROM.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] alexacm:

Recent install Trouble shoot

I installed this ROM last night, and I've run into 4 problems so far:

Microphone not working

Camera cannot be accessed

WiFi cavity turn on

Touch keys not working

This is my first root and custom ROM, so I may be missing something glaringly obvious. I'm running philz touch recovery, tk gapps 5.1.1, (The keyboard from the open gapps link crashed constantly), and carbon. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Was it a clean flash? Do clean I mean wipe data, system, dalvik and cache
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] WacoHueco:
It was. I Performed a factory reset, wiped the cache partition, word the dalvik cache, and then installed the carbon zip. After that, I wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache again and installed gapps 5.1.1, and rebooted the system.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Do this- factory reset, wipe the cache partition, wipe the dalvik cache, and then install the carbon zip, install gapps and reboot
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] WacoHueco:
I just finished doing this and am still experiencing the same issues.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What ROM you were on earlier?

This ROM was tested before releasing and everything was working. It seems there is something at your end :mad:

Nitin
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] WacoHueco:
I attached screenshots of the file properties of my carbon ROM download as well as the tk gapps I've used.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
I would recommend using Open GAPPS instead of TK, because it's kept up to date and there are daily builds for it.

opengapps.org

Make sure you select "arm", 5.1.1, and then whichever build you want. I personally like the "mini" builds because they give you everything you need, but none of the extra junk.

Also, make sure you are running the latest version of TWRP on your device. You can update it by installing TWRP Manager from the play store.

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Go to Advanced > File Manager > SDCard, and delete the Android folder. Also delete the Android folder in the External SD directory.

3. Then go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe, and select System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Do this 3 times. Don't worry, it won't erase your SD card contents as long as you don't select internal storage.

4. Reboot to Recovery again

5. Install the ROM and gapps

6. Wipe cache/dalvik

7. Reboot

8. Profit!

But keep in mind that this is a pretty old ROM and it was pretty buggy to begin with, so don't expect things to run well. If you want to stick with Lollipop, I'd recommend FusionROM. And if you want to go with Marshmallow, I'd recommend ResurrectionRemix or something.

Good luck!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks for the post with the detailed post.

I do not agree with this statement of yours "it was pretty buggy to begin with, so don't expect things to run well". Can you please explain?

There are close to 700 downloads and I do not see any major defects reported :p

Nitin
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Really liking the looks of the screen shots. Might have to give this a go. My current ROM is starting to be bogged down like crazy and driving me nuts.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
well, aosp roms arent always known for their stability, theyre more so known for their speed, customization ability and battery life. And 700 downloads without major defect reports doesnt mean that there arent any defects to report. There are people like me who will try a flavor of aosp and if i dont like it, ill just give up on it and go back to a ROM that i know works. Its not often that i do this, but ive done it on a few roms, especially ones that dont look like they have much potential. Besides, didnt support for this rom cease anyways?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I was not saying that there were zero defects. But as I mentioned, I do not agree with the statement "pretty buggy".

I would prefer evidences than general statements (like it's pretty buggy)... :cool:

And if you do this "There are people like me who will try a flavor of aosp and if i dont like it, ill just give up on it and go back to a ROM that i know works."; then it's unfair to the developers who spend time and build the ROM. You should AT LEAST report the defects...

And yes, the support is ended!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
this is the main reason i dont report back with the findings. More often times, when i go to report back on aosp roms, theyre reported back as no longer supported. I am quite active in the forums of ROMS that i tried that are still supported, but if theyre not supported, then i dont see much point. I spend A LOT of time on XDA helping people out in threads that have active topics, so im no mooch
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robertkyle62283:
I flashed the rom and everything works fine except for the capacitor touch buttons. Is there any fix for this issue?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Never heard that issue. Do you see on screen buttons?

Nitin
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robertkyle62283:
No on screen buttons. They light up when the screen is touched but they don't work. I did a clean install.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
As I said, no one reported this (even after 925+ downloads); so it is something at your end.

What ROM you were on before flashing this? Were the buttons working on that ROM?

For now, get on screen buttons by using this simple change, till the time you find a solution.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ceejkay:

There must be a setting or permission related to this. I have never seen this (or got any reports from anyone).

I have the same problem as listed above, no working back or app button, and also have constant "Sorry AOSP keyboard has stopped".

Don't know the reason why you 2 guys are facing this issue. Try clearing data from settings - apps -aosp keyboard.

Also you can try and install some other keyboard.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhani:
It's laggier than my Z3! I was NOT expecting this. Scrolling on certain sites is super choppy.

Guys, can you confirm?

UPDATE:

I have performed a factory reset and first impressions are that it is super smooth and silky now when scrolling again. I am yet to sign Chrome into my google account to sync a tonne of my bookmarks and see if this affects performance. Also, waiting on all my 237 apps to install in the background first before carrying out another test too. I will report back once I've done so.

UPDATE 2:

On my previous factory reset, somebody said I should remove last pass, which I did but it made no difference as I still had other accessibility services enabled. So the problem resurfaced.

Okay, so it is all down to accessibility services, IMHO. Once enabled, Chrome seems to suffer from this dreaded laggggg and slow touch response or sometimes freeze and crash on sites like daily mail, XDA and huffpost. I have performed a factory reset and not enabled any accessibility services yet and everything is hunky dory, even with full bookmark and account sync.

I will update when and if problem recurs. All seems well for last couple weeks, thank God.

I appreciate the tip and will actually do that.. Only thing is, I'm looking for a direct solution or fix for Chrome and whether the guys at Google are aware of this embarrassment.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Sorry, I wouldn't know because I have had Samsung devices lately and I never used Chrome on them. I always preferred the Samsung browser since Chrome always seemed too bloated.

Now that I can't use the Samsung browser, I was curious what people are using instead of Chrome.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
Daily mail I was able to just scroll the page up and down the display very quickly. Was smooth when scrolling slower as well.

Are you using ad blocker or anything? Pure stock? Any apps consuming cpu in the background?

Sent from a 128th Legion Stormtrooper 6P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhani:
I'm pure stock, no root. Does Chrome have ad blocking on its mobile app? I don't have any installed from the Play Store neither.

I also noticed that unlike before, Chrome doesn't respond to touch as willingly as it does on my Z3 until the full page and ALL ads/banners are completely loaded and the blue bar is gone... It DOES scroll while loading, just after hesitating first and then being choppy when scrolling. I need to record this and upload someplace. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
You should have a YouTube account, all Google's accounts can do this. Presumably you can with whatever account you're using on your nexus device.

Edit: not sure what is going to help though, I don't think just proving it's happening will help as that doesn't get to the root cause.

Get a cpu monitor and make sure no other apps are consuming cpu in the background. I'd the phone warm at all?

Sent from a 128th Legion Stormtrooper 6P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhani:
Good point. It's now showing itself on the Z3 as well. Simply because I'm now running Sony's concept marshmallow on there. I still have my old Note II and it is still coping better than my marshmallow toting devices.

It isn't warm neither. I think Chrome isn't optimised for Android 6.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
Try googling "chrome flags max tiles" and you can speed up chrome on heavier websites. Works wonders for me. Basically you are changing the amount of memory chrome can use. I maxed it out to 1gb.

I did try a myriad of other solutions, including going into recovery and clearing the cache, but the only thing that actually resolved there issue was a reset. You can try removing apps, uninstalling Chrome, digging through system settings, etc. if you want, but considering the time you would spend doing that you could have reset and reconfigured twice over.
