As for gestures, see below

5. That's weird. Mind naming the theme so I can look into it?

P.S. You can use the builtin theme Chooser in Settings -> Display too.

6. "ton of customizations is not our aim. Theres plenty of "lets add every feature we can find" kind of ROMs, Carbon is not one of them. We focus on being a performance oriented ROM with just the features you need and would expect in a stock ROM.

AOSP Navigation Gestures are working just fine. I think you mean the OP gestures.

We've been working on OP Gestures for a while (and TBH I kinda forgot about them at some point). The reason they are not included is that the implementations that are being used by ROMs out there all feel a little unpolished and/or have some kind of bugs. We wanted to fix that before merging but just never got around to do that just yet. Maybe in the future. Maybe not. I'm aware its one of the most demanded features right now though.

Google Product Sans Light. The ftf can be found with a Google search and you can use it in the ROM by creating a custom font package on https://fonts.carbonrom.org followed by choosing the font in the builtin font chooser.

but there is no such flash while using fingerprint sensor on havoc rom
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myself5:
Good to know. I went ahead and checked the Havoc sources and discovered that they were using the older OmniROM FOD implementation. Up until 3 days ago. So the question we're left with is: Is your statement still valid on builds younger than the 25th of August. If thats the case please let me know and I'll gladly look further into it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joemossjr:
There is. You probably have your brightness all the way up and don't notice
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Burt Squirtz:
this is totally false. There indeed is a flash just like every other AOSP ROM
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mlock420:
Man every ROM I've used so far had this flash they speak of.... Is it a problem?....I barely notice it because the damn fingerprint is to fast??

How to install magisk on this. Tried but just reboots to fastboot mode. Got past setup went into recovery flashed 19.3 and 19.4 but just reverts to fastboot screen.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bailey2408:
Only way i have gotten rid of flash is to install papasmurf kernel
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joemossjr:
Although it is small it's still there with that kernel. Unless on full brightness
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myself5:
My bad, I forgot to mention that. I've experienced issues with the latest Magisk stable. Canary seems to be working fine for me though. You can find it here https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/master/canary_builds.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Burt Squirtz:
Wow, major props to the developer of this rom. I've literally flashed nearly every rom available. Until now, vanilla lineage was the fastest, smoothest rom. Until now.

I don't know what your guys baked into this, but the speed and fluidity is insane.

CARBON!!! I MISSED YOU GUYS!! BEST ROM FOR MY NOTE4 SRY caps too much. Love too see the magic on the 7Pro! Will flash soon. Hell Yah! Made my day
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kamikaze702k:
Wow.

I just bought this device

Carbon use to be one of my favorites from my S4 mini days

How many of you guys are using this rom and how is it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nyllet83:
I’m currently on another custom ROM. Do I need to flash OOS before I flash this ROM or can I just wipe my phone and install this?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] RicardoDimm:
yeah would like to know as well.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myself5:
For the sake of doing it properly I would recommend doing so. However, theres no specific need for doing so compared to other ROMs, just a general recommendation.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rdeets:
Do I need to do anything special if I'm coming from the 10 Open Beta?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myself5:
As far as I know the 10 Open Beta has a different bootloader which might cause issues. You should reinstall the latest 9.0 Stock build to both slots before installing Carbon or any Android 9 custom ROM.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Felipe102604:
Install instructions

Tried looking and even on other devices. But can someone give me detailed instructions on how to install this on our devices. I'm new to flashing and am currently bootloader unlocked with twrp installed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Can anyone tell me if substratum theming requires a reboot? Many find it to be a small inconvenience but for me it's one of the main reasons I'm trying to get away from OOS.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fKm:
Yes it does. There is no substratumsignature service built in. Head over to HavocOS or BlissROM for that feature.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Namolas:
Steps to follow coming from OOS (best):

1-Boot TWRP

2-Back up OOS in TWRP (Boot, System Image, Vendor Image, Data)

3-Factory Data Reset

4-Flash Carbon, TWRP installer

5-Reboot Recovery

6-Flash Carbon, TWRP installer

7-Reboot Recovery

8-Flash Gapps, Magisk 19.4 Canary

9-Reboot System Setup & Enjoy
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Felipe102604:
Sorry if this is a dumb question. But when I tried to flash another rom before that required reboot to recovery to reflash, my files weren't there anymore. Is there a way to find it? Thanks again
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Namolas:
Most people use an USB flash drive but you can also adb push or run your device unecrypted to avoid all that nonsense.

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] good to see you here again! I was running carbon on my old Z5 until I bought OP7PRO. The Z5 is still doing fine on carbon, though it is just super outdated lol.

[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rdeets:
Okay. In the past 24 hours I've tried crDroid and Havoc. I'm thinking about trying this one now. Some thoughts:

crDroid: That was just clunky, and running dual sim was a pain in the ass. Don't know how to explain the clunkiness, it just didn't act right. And AOD kept reflashing every 10-15 seconds. That's why I decided to try Havoc.

Havoc: Almost great. Almost. The fingerprint sensor is bugged. Doesn't work at all with AOD (keeps saying "finger moved too fast. Please try again.")

With that in mind, a few questions.

1) Are there any issues with the fingerprint sensor (besides the flash), and does it work fine with AOD?

2) Are there any AOD problems?

3) If anyone uses dual sims, did you have any problem getting data to work on both and is there a WS tile to toggle the active data sim?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Burt Squirtz:
Has anyone found a way to get Smurf kernel to work with this?

This is the only rom, were Smurf won't work. Smurf literally boots on every single ROM on this forum, besides this one. I just get kicked right back into bootloader when I try and Boot it.

It's absolutely maddening, cuz this ROM is blazing fast, ever so slightly faster than crDroid which is the next fastest.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] marko94:
So why you need Smurf if it is fast ? Use stock kernel, it is great
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Burt Squirtz:
That's like saying, "why use Ludicrous Mode on a Tesla model S P100D?".

Because it makes the rom stupid fast. I mean ridiculously fast. Literally almost doubles the UI speed and snappiness with smurf over carbon stock.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myself5:
And *how* exactly do you expect to know that without being able to test it :P?

However, I'll gladly provide the SmurfKernel dev with every information on the ROM side he might need to debug this issue.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] vtec303:
The default kernel is working very well with good battery timing no need for a custom kernel in my opinion, thanks to op for his good work, cheers.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Burt Squirtz:
Because up until the last two weeklies, the combo was working great.

One has to only flash Smurf kernel once, to realize the greatness that it is. GCC 9.2, Walt/Pelt, Linux .43 and other new CAF optimizations make a massive difference.

Oh thank you, I really appreciate that!

allow call recording and Smurf kernel?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] camoway:
ill check it now, but I use skvalex for call recording. it's far more comprehensive than any of those built-in apps. plus it will back up the conversation automatically to my google drive right after I hang up. So no matter what I have my blackmail ready to go.. oh wait hmn no I mean something else. hehehe
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kamikaze702k:
Loool definitely you'll never know when it may come in handy, I prefer the built in version, if this rom supports that I'll finally try it again, it was the first rom I tried but only briefly didn't get to test everything but they've updated it since and I'm hoping it's including the September patches which I think it had but can't remember, only other downside is a user mentioned Smurf kernel is not supported, but I don't really mind that I can always try another kernel or just leave the stock one. I've been on asoip and even know it's running great with zero issues I'm still considering to try this rom again. I've always loved carbon since KK days, but I noticed the "carbon fibres" option was not in this rom anymore, like extra tweaking options etc?!
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] camoway:
Works with the latest wifi fix kernel the regular one wouldnt boot.

and idk about call recording, I don't care about it sorry, will not be checking out stuff I don't use.

[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Phoenix 15 A:
Perfect som for me. Everything is where it should be, nothing more, nothing less. Two querky things (to me anyway), when I enable debugging, with usb tied to computer, I just get the generic mtp device for file transfer. When debugging is off, then i get all my files shown on the phone. I'm used to the opposite. It doesn't do that with my other phones, moto g5s plus, and moto g4 plus. TiB still works in this ROM with debugging off. But it needs to stay on for my Moto's. DUH! Just dawned on me, this phone is encrypted, my others are not.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] william guz:

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
I think there is a limit to unlock 1 phone per month. If you have unlocked a phone already this month then you will get 30 days waiting on the next phone. Try again on the 1 September and see if the wait time goes back to 7 days.

This is correct ! It's better to make an another ID and get done after 7 days if one needs to unlock mutiple devices.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Trying to understand Xiaomi unlock wait times is about the same as trying to understand quantum string theory.

However this one theory does seem to have some credibility. Someone had the same issue either 1 or 2 months ago. They had unlocked a Xiaomi phone earlier in the month and when it came to the K20 Pro they had 30 days wait. But a couple of days later, on the 1st of the month the wait period changed, I think to 7 days. Unfortunately I can't find the original post to link to, it will be somewhere in these K20 Pro sub forum's.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

If you do this option, you will need a different email and phone number. The email is easy, but the phone number needs to be verified and have the SIM in your phone to start the unlock process. So if you only have one SIM, you will need to borrow one for a short time.

People have tried removing their email and phone number from their existing MIUI account, then adding them to a new account, but it seems there are checks for this as the new account still had long wait times.

If this appeared after you unlock bootloader for the second time, there's a workaround for this. Try using older version of mi unlock. I used the method for my K20 pro (china) after soft-bricking it. I locked the phone's bootloader accidentally after flashing the wrong ROM with mi flash.

I used this version specifically, I advice you to use this version too just to be safe :
