Official Carbon KK! Very nice, sir.

Under Carbon Fibres -> Device Tuneables, The page is blank. Is this expected or did I mess up? I assume this is where you would toggle Halo, Ribbons, DPI, etc. No worries if it just isn't there yet! Looking great!
Thanks

Ah. That section is meant for devices that need/have special functionality. Kind of like vibration settings etc... It's device specific.

Yeah I'm testing this now, Carbon is an awesome ROM no matter what version I've tried previously. The community here will embrace this undoubtedly. Can't wait to see the progression to stable but looks like the ROM has some pretty neat features already including active display.
I plan on using this with no scripts or tweaks for the time being either, see how it does.

Well we read it here first! Also the new boot animation is great, and boot time is phenomenal. Boot only takes seconds and I have not had that with ONE single ROM yet. Boots have normally been about a minute or so with other ROMs.
I'm going to try some things I haven't tried in a bit like ART although previously my experience with it hasn't been good. But again, a lot of time has passed since the last time I tried it.
Edit: Well never mind, ART couldn't get past the first 10 apps. That is pretty much what I thought would happen so no big deal. It's almost at the point ART might as well be removed altogether from KK ROMs but that is only my take, so in other words that isn't happening.

Let's get this party started!!! Thanks OP and the rest of the Carbon team!
woot! More love for my GS3! Thank you sir!
Can't wait to try this
Download is soooo slow any other link
I guess I'm going to have to wait until tonight to try this, the download site isn't working on my phone or my work computer. I can get to the d2tmo screen but it just says "select a release type" but then it's just blank, it isn't showing me any links for either the nightly or stable.
Different device but I do have the 1/31 release working well on my nexus 7. Only just flashed it last night so I can't wait to get home and play with it some more.
Yeah they're getting hammered at the moment. I'm on Feb 1 nightly. Working great, only missing quick unlock for the lock screen.

I know they won't start until tomorrow but was curious, how do 'delta" updates work? Is it just a different link on the download page, is there an updater built into the rom? Sorry, I've never used it before so I don't know much about it other than just the general facts.
If you haven't read their site and don't know what I'm talking about I'm referring to this, from the carbon-rom website:
"Delta updates should be functioning this Tuesday, meaning when you are trying to update to the nightlies built on Tuesday (2am EST), you should be able to use Delta to do so. "

I've been waiting for Carbon 4.4 since it was announced... The only issue I've had was my device kept crashing if i was streaming audio via bluetooth. I don't have the bluetooth speaker with me currently, its at work but when i get back i'll get a log.
Ok. I am impressed. This has got to be the first KK ROM that has Bluetooth actually working. So far, the ROM seems really snappy.
However, I noticed that it doesn't go into deep sleep.
Any kernel recommendations for this ROM?

According to BBS, I've got a RILJ wakelock keeping the phone awake. I guess I'll have to do some research on this one.
I'll be interested to hear what you find, I've only been using this less than a day but it hasn't gone into deep sleep at all. I'm using dkp kernel.

Just want to say that Carbon KitKat has been everything I could have hoped for and more! Keep up the good work!
I'm glad they waited so long to start releasing official nightlies. The result has been a very smooth and stable ROM. I look forward to more features being added, but right now, it is my favorite kk ROM.
On my S3 and N7 great rom
Got the Carbon downloader and downloaded the 2/5 nightly. When I tried to (dirty) flash 2/5 over 2/3 after wiping cache and Dalvik (per the usual), everything went fine, but when the ROM booted it said something like "unable to perform Encryption, please perform a factory rest of your phone by pressing the button below". Any ideas? I went back to 2/3 until I can figure out what's up. Not really thrilled with starting from scratch at the moment, does anyone feel me?!?!?

You can wipe cache, dalvik and system, but not data. This will leave all of your apps, widgets, and settings in place. Also, check the md5 and make sure it's not a problem with your download.
I've been dirty flashing for years I just don't know why all the sudden the encryption thing pops up because my partitions are not encrypted. The rom looks like it flashes fine just like any other nightly before.
Just a heads up for everyone looking to try this ROM or update to a new nightly, Carbon team is moving to a brand new server, and downloads will be sporadic/nonexistent for a little while (maybe the rest of the week according to their blog post). Read about it here:

I have downloaded all of the nightlies to this point, let me know if you want me to upload one and I can PM you a link. Carbon was the best 4.3 ROM available prior to KitKat, and they have continued that trend with their current releases. Amazing work by the Carbon team!
Is 4G working on the 2/4 nightly? I flashed last night but have not had 4G all day. Could be they are doing some work on it here just not sure if its ROM related or sprint.

The LTE handoff bug was present in the 1/30 build. The commit was merged for the 1/31 build, and has been fixed ever since. I have used the 1/31 build, and just dirty flashed to 2/04 last night. Did you clean flash(system as well)? Other than that, you could try flashing a stock ROM(I'd personally recommend ZV8 over ZVA, but that's just me) and update profile, then flash back to AOSP. If all that fails, the only other thing I can think of is updating the radios TO THE DECEMBER ZV8 RADIOS, NOT ZVA. IF YOU FLASH ZVA RADIOS YOU WILL BRICK.
The only big bug that I could find is that video(Youtube, stock video player, etc.) will not play. It will play audio, but the feed is frozen and the tracker jumps 4 seconds at a time. D80X is also reporting this issue. Either way, fine show indeed! :good:
No Data connection
Hello! Thanks for a great ROM!
I have issue with Internet, it's just not connecting. I have data on stock and Omni Rom and can't enable it on any other AOSP Rom.
I use NV ram to connect to the network.
Any idea? Thanks!
Trying out the ROM, great so far.
Bugs I found so far. In the Lockscreen>General tab. The See through option doesn't seem to be working.
Okay, probly silly, but is there anyway to get that pie lmt setup in this rom on my phone?

Just got my G2. Why does this thread die here?
I was wondering the same thing.
I am also not able to download any of the nightlies. I keep getting some sort of network error message. "Failed- Network error"

3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before.

Already loving Kit Kat! Thanks Carbon!
Man, this ROM is SOLID! It's great to be back home. I hope Carbon gets to relive its glory days, as it did in 4.3. Great job team!

Can anyone let me know how data is please. A lot of devs have perfected the icons showing but data is sketchy. I like the features that are listed here and I would love to make this my everyday driver. I have been a CM fan for ever but I don't like the change in policy. Build and send out then hope for the best. This ROM seems like the one to replace CM. Thank you.

data for me has been nothing short of a miracle! It has been switching seamlessly between 3G and LTE with no issues what-so-ever. I used to hate having to always reboot the phone just to get LTE in an area I know has LTE. I am also on the newest radio the GJ04 and have been for quite some time.

The only issue I have so far (and its not a deal breaker by any means) is screen rotation...when the screen rotates, it sort of gets fuzzy, like a bad picture, but then quickly fixes itself. Running Carbon KitKat on my SGS4 as well and it does not do that, so I'm thinking its something with the Toroplus??
dirty flashed the most recent nightly and running well. digging the pie controls. any way that the Carbon Updates in about phone could work to update to the latest nightly as there are no KK milestones?
Very impressed with this Rom !
downloaded and flashed yesterday, very nice and stable. I like that the dialer has the Google local business search function built-in, I remember earlier cm builds didn't have it...
Haven't noticed any hiccups yet!:good:
Anyone flash a custom kernel with this Rom? any kernel suggestions?
Alternative Kernel
flashed the tinykernel-5.5-ASRAM.zip yesterday and everything seems to be running smooth after a day of use. This kernel is giving me 733mb of RAM to work with, so you gain around 30mb over the included rom kernel. I've tested WIFI, GPS, camera, etc., everything seems to function as it should. I've also underclocked to 230MHz and kept the max set at 1200, although you can go over 1500MHz if your phone can handle it...mine usually freezes instantly around 1500. Currently I'm still on build from 2-13, but will be updating soon.
This Rom seems to be very stable and one of the best KitKat Roms I've tried ! I've also reduced animations setting, along w/ other available related settings down to .25 within developer options. Under this set up my phone is pretty snappy!
Data switching (3g/4g, Wifi) has been flawless so far!
Although the tiny kernel I mention above works on this Rom, I was experiencing pretty often freeze ups requiring battery pulls, so running the included kernel since updating the rom and haven't had to battery pull yet... so for now will stick w/ the included cyanogenmod kernel.
Overall Great Rom !

Haven't tried the rom yet, but It must be because this kernel uses Googles colors instead of LG, you can change the colors with TricksterMOD.

He is correct. Download TricksterMod from the app store and change color settings from Google to LG. Colors will look like what you are accustom to.
New build up in OP
one more thing, lowest cpu frequency is locked at 918mhz. trickster mod is useless with this, it cannot lock it at any lower rate

Might want to try a different kernel(it will have to be a modded kernel), but check your actual CPU stats. I'm betting it's actually dropping into the 300's and trickster may be lying to you.

I'm unable to tell if you're just saying that the ROM is getting a lot of attention - it's a damn awesome ROM and should get lots of love haha - or if you're implying that I'm stepping on toes. GEE is for GEEHRC(E975) and GEESPR(LS970), so GEEB would still need to get built.
Covered my bases haha. Happy to hear GEEB is getting some Carbon love too. This is by far my favorite ROM.

Just saying that it's getting a lot of attention and redundant building? Because for my Carbon GEEB that I built, all GEEHRC and GEESPR users have to do is flash their own kernel and they should be good to go.... As far as I know anyways. No toe stepping or anything :highfive:
What if we just worked together and made Carbon even more awesome? Though I'm a GIT noob so I don't know if you would want that lol.

Haha, yeah, I'm simply a builder man. I have no programming experience whatsoever and no free time to dedicate to learning. I know only enough to get by. And Carbon...more awesome? My reality would shatter and my mind would explode if that were to happen lol.

New builds up in OP guys. Enjoy! Lots of little changes in this one, nothing major.
No floating window yet. It's been an open project for a couple days now, hopefully they'll get it pegged down and merged here soon! Here's a link showing their work - https://review.carbonrom.org/#/c/474/
can you suggest me another kernel? Glitch make the phone very hot after few minutes of intense utilisation!

Ak-xGenesis I've heard works wonderfully with this ROM. If you're running a GEEHRC device, you can head over to the Sprint LG Optimus G forum and download GEE there...if it isn't in this forum. If you're running a GEEB device, I'm uncertain of which modded kernels you guys have.

Android 4.4.4 is out !!!
I have only two problems with this rom compared to the 4.4.2 build of Kevin:
1. LTE doesn't seem to work on my international geehrc. using the testing app to set different types of networks it seems there's some misunderstanding with the radio. my phone connects to HSPA/HSPA+ even when configured with WCDMA only or GSM auto or... Unknown .
2. no FM radio app.
does LTE work for you guys? I mean in the sense of displaying LTE next to the signal bars.
there's also the chance that orange implemented HSPA+ in my area and sells it as 4G and the 4.4.2 rom was showing it as 4G not as H+.
