----------
Carbon JB [4.3.1.] Unnofficial for the Galaxy Ace II (Codina)
I take no resposibility if something will go... not as it supposed to. The responsibility for potential damages caused by installing or using of this ROM is Yours, and Yours only!
My ROM is released „as is” – you don’t like it – don’t use it.​
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important!
Any Galaxy Ace II ROM based on Android 4.2.x+ has to be installed over Android 4.1.x+ (stock ROM, CM-like customs). You will need custom recovery (temporary one is good enough)
It is strongly recommended to make a backup before installing of ANY ROM!

As it could be my final version of Carbon ROM (and maybe my last Codina’s public ROM ever), I want to add few words…
I’m pretty sure that @Rox – our main device sources maintainer - deserves for a special thanks. I watched your progress – starting from “simple” theming You became our local hero, learning fast. I believe that the knowledge You achieved playing with our Samsung Galaxy Ace II will help you to find “a job from your dreams” in your mature life (do not hurry). I’m aware that without Your work I just couldn’t “get” Carbon (or Chameleon OS, or whatever) in current state. So once again – thanks for Your contribution!!!
To do list:
· Fixing Carbon Fibers FC’s after turning phone on
· Additional polish translation (other languages, maybe?**)
· Adding mobile data indicator arrows
** If you have free time and want to add your language translation to system apps – feel free to contact me.
Installation:
1. Put ROM’s Zip file Zip z ROMem (and other zip files - optionally) on SD Card
2. Enter Recovery Mode
3. Pick options:
a) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
b) In „mounts and storage” choose: Format System
c) (just in case) Mount system partition (it supposed to be „unmount” visible)
4. Choose Install Zip (or similar, depends on recovery version)
a) Install ROM from SD card
5. (optional) installing Gapps and other add-ons
a) In „mounts and storage” Mount /system (as described above)
b) Choose install zip and install chosen add-on
c) repeat a and b points for any other add-on
6. Reboot Phone (first BOOT could take a while)

Mine too. I have had Cm10.2 but it crashed and after that Android 4.3 hasn't worked again (up to now, maybe I try to get it working again, or I am just going to buy the Nexus 5 ).

---

k, will install this ROM after bored with CM10.2

---

Decided to give this a spin just out of curiosity and to see what it's like. (never used Carbon ROM before)
I'm curious whether the low incall patch for CM10.2 would also work with this... i'm not sure of the differences in the phone APK if any..

ANY jb Rom will do.
Edit: low in-call fix breaks RIL, just as I suspected...

Thanks for your fast response..
I'll try to flash this ROM from XXMG2 Greece (Cosmote) JB 4.1.2 Base ROM.
I found Ringtone Delay bug on any other 4.3.1 Custom ROM. when I receive a notification, i see the notification icon on statusbar, but the ringtone is delaying (2 or 3 seconds after the notification icon shows on statusbar, sometimes I only hear half notification ringtones), if I find any bug on this ROM, I'll report it to you
and one more question..
I see MIUI Style on this ROM, can I use MIUI themes for this ROM (*.mtz file)?

---

great work, thanks!!
this rom have transition animation like rootbox and listview animation?
