hi all,

Is GPS working ok for anyone? Getting a fix on android 10 on Nexus 4 is impossible for me. I'm trying to use Waze for navigation and, no matter what android 10 ROM I use, it just doesn't work (keeps saying GPS signal lost). Also tried checking with GPS Tools app and I only get a fix for a few seconds.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
If it's not working on any ROM, then it's your hardware.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
The thing is this also happens on my Nexus 7 (2013) on the more recent versions of android (LOS). Getting a fix takes minutes and only lasts a couple of seconds.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Swanee123:
Waze works OK for me with Nexus 4 and latest version of Carbon ROM
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MFYL:
I did a clean install on both ROM and Gapp nano. In the "Grid" in "Style and Wallpaper" , I tried to change from default 4x4 to 5x5. It changed within the same session. However, the layout changed back to 4x4 after reboot. Did anyone experience this issue? I tried to search within this thread and didn't see anything.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Is it still reproducible? Can someone try to reproduce and post here?

BTW, new build is up and you get it via the System updates or from here: https://get.carbonrom.org/device-mako.html

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
I confirm the loss of the grid setting after restarting on a clean ROM 20200610 and on a ROM upgrade to 20200729.

Additionally, clicking on "Style and Wallpaper" after finding it in search settings causes "Style and Wallpaper" crash in ROM 20200729, but

a simple choice works correctly:

Settings -> Display -> Style and Wallpaper.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MFYL:
I just download the latest Carbon ROM and GAPP. Then I did the wipe and reinstall. The loss of the grid setting was there. I also tried a simple choice option: Settings -> Display -> Style and Wallpaper. It works correctly before reboot. The 5x5 grid setting fall back to 4x4 after reboot. Did you reboot?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
Thanks to Nitin. "Style and Wallpaper" works fine now.

Thanks to [MENTION=3772648]voron00[/MENTION]. I have the impression that the fix from 2 weeks ago significantly accelerated the operation of GPS localization.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jglaurenzana:
Hi! Is this ROM stable? I've been using LineageOS 17.1 on my Nexus 4 and I've been having problems with random screen blackouts that require me to click the power button and unlock the phone again, is this also an issue on CarbonROM? Are there any issues with this ROM that I should know about?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
In Carbon 8 there is no black screen effect like in Libeage 17.1,

but there is a temporary lack of contact between the interface and the touch screen.

However, at the same time, the BT mouse works fine with the interface.

.

If you need a

stable

Carbon ROM then only 7.1.2 or perchance 8.0.1.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
BT mouse permanently paired.

After blanking the screen, the interface is sometimes stuck and sometimes the GUI restarts.

The attached logcat is the last 58 seconds of life before such GUI restart.

.

.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
BT mouse permanently paired - that's not the usual usage of a phone.

I was trying to understand this statement of yours. What is not stable in Carbon 8.0?

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
.

I really appreciate your and voron00's contribution to keeping the N4 alive and giving users the joy of using the Carbon ROM,

so I'm testing Carbon builds on the N4 because you've been doing it very well and for a long time.

.

There are no objections to Carbon 8.0, but if I find something that doesn't work I want others to know about it too.

They can decide whether it is important or not.

You too can decide if you have enough time and desire to improve the Carbon ROM.

.

Custom ROM flashing is not a usual phone use either.

But let me decide for myself what "usual phone use" is for me.

In my opinion, if some function exists, it should work.

.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Definitely you are doing that and I'm not telling you to decide that. But don't impose your opinions/ experiences on others by calling that CR-8.0 is not stable. That's a misleading statement.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mrdie89:
Thank you very much for this ROM, it works great!

Is there any kernel with usb OTG support compatible with android 10?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
The WaveUp software partially solves the screen unlock problem.

Clean ROM and only Total Commander.

After a longer period of time (e.g. 60 s), the screen can be turned on again by pressing the power key and unlocked by swipping. :good:

It is not possible to unlock the screen after connecting the power supply in a 100% repeatable way :confused: (Can someone confirm this?).

The screen turns on, but the touch screen does not respond to the touch and you have to use the power key.

Sometimes I have to turn the screen off and on again with the power key after touch unlocking,

because the screen does not respond to touch.

I have the feeling that this is the same way to block the screen when I have the BT mouse permanently paired and turned on,

which wakes up the screen but not exactly because it blocks the touch.

I was inspired by [MENTION=8010004]guest4711[/MENTION] with >this< post which reminded me of the existence of WaveUp.

After installing the WaveUp application from F-Droid, the problem was over.

The application received administrative permission,

in the application I enabled waveup and pocked and lock screen modes

and from then on, the application correctly manages the screen unlock when the BT mouse is permanently paired.

.

.

edit 1

After a long time the problem with unlocking the screen came back :(

.

edit 2

Today, the ROM did not hang even once, despite constant pairing with the BT mouse.

Bluetooth not working properly

Hello,

I have a problem with this rom and the Bluetooth. It stops working always and get a pop up every 3 or 4 seconds. I have to stop the process and disable Bluetooth.

Can you help me with this issue?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What pop-up? No one else reported this issue till now.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kraze1984:
Thank you for your continuous support of this model.

Would it be possible to tweak the image so it would be possible to use with larger partitions without manual work? I have a 3gb system partition and I have to manually modify the script and then resize the filesystem. For this reason I am not able to use your automatic updater.

Thank you...

Also, the thumbnail images of the photos when viewed on PC are screwed if taken with opengapps camera.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
If the system partition is really 3GB then updater should work. I've only 1.4 GB system partition and always use the updater without any issues - in fact I'm using it right now to update to 02 Sep build.

If I were you, I would start from scratch and then report back.

Regarding photos thumbnails - report it to Open Camera.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zagzag99:
Thanks [MENTION=280897]nitin[/MENTION] for the recent update.

I'm so amazed every time how this ROM keeps giving life to my two N4s
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks to Carbon ROM team :highfive:

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] wartle.S:
Great ROM!

I just revived my Nexus 4 from the dead and now it is working great! Fantastic!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] saber144:
This ROM is pretty smooth! If anyone has problems flashing bigger OpenGapps packages, I found the tip to use an OpenGapp release older than the ROM release to be the solution to successfully installing it. Or else, the phone will be stuck in the boot animation. I used the stock OpenGapps package with a lot of apps excluded to fit within the system partition so that might also be part of the problem.

On another note, does anyone have a problem with the Network selection? I am using a T-Mobile MVNO but the MVNO is not found when Preferred Network Type is LTE/3G. It is only found when Network type is 2G. But once it is found and registered on 2G, the phone can use 3G with no problem whatsoever, maybe except that the Network operator states T-Mobile instead of the MVNO and Voicemail notifications aren't working. When the SIM is inserted in a Stock 4.4.4 Nexus 4, it works correctly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] theslug:
Is anyone else's sensors not working with this ROM? I mean almost everything: brightness, proximity, gyroscope, etc. Everything works fine on stock so I know it isn't my hardware.... Help?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Nope. Looks like your phone doesn't like android 10 ;)

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
Try my method if you haven't read the whole thread yet.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] theslug:
Thanks for the help. Have it all working now. Totally weird that installing other ROMS first should matter, though... for me installing the Carbon 7.0 first worked. But now I can reflash 8.0 after wiping everything, including /vendor and /system and the internal memory... and resinstall Carbon 8.0 directly... and everything still works. What the ^$%#&did installing Carbon ROM 7 first change?!

Anyway, thanks for the tip.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] L3R4F:
Do we know if our beloved Nexus 4 will see Android 11?

it's crazy to think that Google stopped supporting it in 2014 after Lolipop 5.1.1 and yet, by the effort of some dedicated hardcore developers, we are still getting the latest software and security updates.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I don't think so - at least I'm not trying as the phone if almost dead now - screen was already acting up and battery is not lasting. It's shutting down abruptly.

Moreover not getting time to work on this stuff.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] L3R4F:
Thanks Nitin.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ddaggebi:
Really loving the smoothness. Thanks for keeping this old device up to date, nitin. Hope that you get to maintain N4 longer.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cewrld:
I just wanted to thank you for this ROM.

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] and all carbon team.

Though it is old and probably most of us use it as a secondary device, some might not afford a new device or doesn’t need one. Especially Nexus 4 is still fine for some business use as 2nd phone (like calls, SMS and Whatsapp) and still enough for older people who doesn’t use all features.

I don’t know how hard or easy it would be to port Android 11 but I am really grateful for Android 10 support.

There are still people using Nexus 4 and I even prefer it some relatively newer Android devices, so would be really happy if I can see continuous support. But I respect the team’s decision if they don’t want to continue to support it any longer.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
New update is up... :good:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kraze1984:
Hi, to those people experiencing "black" display in call and various issues with the dialer app locking the screen - I would suggest checking this thread: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/solved-how-to-disable-nexus-4-proximity-t2558878. It is most likely the proximity sensor's issue. In my case I replaced the display and touch panel and after that the hole in the plastic frame between the screen and the sensor chamber lost its shape, which made the sensor to always operate as if there was something in the proximity. After slightly extending the hole the issue was fixed.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] derern:
First of all, long time lurker here whose Nexus 4 is taken out of the drawer every now and then. Thanks to all devs involved to keep the device up-to-date while in addition having it still being snappy/responsive as well.

Bumping the request for dt2w from a few pages back. Would be great to see.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheArt.:
Does this ROM supports microg? I know android 10 may have issues with that. Searching the thread did not bring me anything useful.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DevUuser:
Hi All,

Regarding sensors not working;

Do not use recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-mako.img for recovery.

Pretty sure the props of this recovery conflict with what this rom is expecting and does not allow successfully flashing of sensor config and other props.

I have been using cwm as recovery due to damaged digitizer, I can't easily swipe confirms with TWRP. (i'm a novice with adb/dadb so using push and install commands are not in my fold yet).

After trying several different methods of flashing with recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-mako.img I switched to TWRP and struggled thru the swipe issues. In any case flashing with TWRP and struggling through the swipe confirms has resolved all sensor issues.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] petiolarissean:
Awesome rom dude,sean
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Jeantree:
Amazing rom that gives my old N4 new life. It's running so smooth.

Thanks, Team.

My recovery currently broken, to due broken f2fs support

Use this
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dcshallot:
It's not the app issue. In lineage OS, it's normal. I have to change the row count number to short the view height then drag the icons to the top.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
So what's the problem then if you got it working?

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dcshallot:
I mean that if the tile shows 3 icons per row, I can't add new tiles.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dcshallot:
Subscribed. If your recovery had problem, I'll try the other one, though your recovery had installed carbon ROM successfully now. I'm in traveling, can't suffer unfunctionality phone.(not sure if it's a correct word ?)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sudokamikaze:

Hi guys,

thank for porting it to Mako!

What is the status of the ROM?

What works what doesn't? Any problems?

Didn't find info in the OP
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
It is not porting.

Install and start using, you will find out for yourself.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
As [MENTION=4810659]ze7zez[/MENTION] rightly said, this is compiled from source and not just porting ;)

And there aren't any bugs in the ROM (You can see the pages and get that)

BTW, new weekly is up guys! :good:

is the latest build includes latest substratum patch?because when i use flux theme,carbonfibers(rom setting) icons are invisible in 15/8 build
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
The last mention of substratum is from JUL 23.

If you use the Flux theme before this date, then I think there should be no problems.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Substratum latest patches are in (till the date 15 Aug)

I've been running android 4ish since I got my xperia - but he's in to get his headphone port fixed - and wow this is a nice upgrade!

Two things though - on a clean install, the latest zip gets a constant stream of "com.android.phone" has stopped, and the previous three or so roms get both fdroid's and offical firefox builds to crash on start with a sigsegv.

When I try to build myself, the phone doesn't get past the bootloader screen.

Any idea about the firefox and custom build issues?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
Thank [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] you for continuing support for the Carbon ROM and the January release.

Hi, I did the repartition and installed the ROM and an earlier version of Opengapps Pico that was less than 100MB. I thought I followed all the steps correctly. But when I powered on the phone the next day, it wouldn't get past the spinning circles boot animation. I tried the boot into bootloader and select Start, but I kept getting the same thing. Any ideas on a solution? Thanks.

Does anybody have issues with GPS on the latest build(s)?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xdaluser0:
April 20th build fails to download: https://get.carbonrom.org/device-mako.html https://mirrorbits.carbonrom.org/mako/CARBON-CR-8.0-PAX-RELEASE-mako-20210420-0217.zip

Works now.

Regardless, I have CarbonROM on two phones now (2021-04-20) and it's mostly fine. My nexus is a bit buggy (crushes on taking video and tends to close the display before the alloted time I've set has passed...) but I reckon those are likely hardware issues as this is a VERY old phone that had its battery and charging port PCB replaced a few times already.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eruno:
yes, I do have the issues with GPS too, but I do not use the phone as a daily driver(only turned on with the secondary sim) and I have upgraded/dirty_flashed my Nexus 4 directly from the omnirom upgrade menu for last year at least 10 times, so I dont know when exactly the GPS regression happened... I have not performed the factory reset yet to see if the issue is occuring with the clean install cause I do not have much time to loose these days to (re)setup and verify all the apps and phone settings again...

BUT it is the only issue I have found with this literally GREAT ROM for our beloved Nexus 4.

A BIG Thank YOU Nitin for supporting the community with your hard work on this ROM that is helping to keep our devices still alive for all the good reasons you might have, for me including the reduction of the electro waste on the mother earth.

Again a BIG THANKS!!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eruno:
it still fails for me with the mirrorbits link referenced in your post, but the link to https://hosting.carbonrom.org/mako/CARBON-CR-8.0-PAX-RELEASE-mako-20210420-0217.zip from the https://get.carbonrom.org/device-mako.html is working fine for me...

The question is, what link is being used by the "System updates" section of the ROM, cause it fails to download the new update as well from the phone directly. It shows the new update with the "Download size = Unknown" but fails when I click on the "Download" button....

It works for me as well, since few minutes ago at 18h55 CET, when I have retried, so it might have been some kind of CDN cacheing issue or another issue out of my understanding...

EDIT : I flashed back stock with all wipe then last carbon and got still issue, so I flashed last LOS 18.1 and no more issue...all sensors are detected.....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rayman95:
I found a solution, I flashed the first CR8.0 from 2020 who had all sensors and dirty flash last version and its working....it's a perfect rom for this phone...thanks
