When i installed cyanogen in my phone, i had to install gapps separately. Why? It's because copyright? Because it's closed source? If i make my own rom, can i put gapps by default? Thanks guys

Yes it is because of copyright issues, Cyanogenmod had to stop including Google Apps by default because they are technically proprietary Google software that is not part of Android's open source code licence. For more information on this issue I would suggest looking at the Cyanogenmod Wikipedia article Licencing section. As far as including them in your ROM you can but it is a bit of a gray area, however most major ROM developers such as the Cyanogenmod Team, AOKP Team, etc. include them as separate download to avoid any potential controversy.

Great Rom. The wait was worth it.
This is so much smoother and faster compared to cm11. Nice work!
Today's nightlie is up, with some nice "merges"
Carbon Download app is very handy. Thanks again Carbon Team.
This looks awesome,
Im going to test it out.
I will post if i find any bugs.
USB OTG works on sdcards but not external HDD. Vanir does work with a different kernel. Is this release missing drivers for external HDDs? Have not tested with mice, keyboards either. Otherwise works well. Just hoping that more drivers can be included.
Hmm... My titanium backup can't restore any app nor uninstall any system app... Does the superuser breaks? How do I fix this?
NB : my titanium backup works flawlessly on stock ROM which I used before this one..
EDIT :
Updating SU binary seems to fix this problem...
Btw, is there any way to update SU binary without installing SuperSU from play store beforehand?

Just download SuperSU zip from chainfire's site and flash in recovery after you flash the Rom.
Another good rom on the N7 for kitkat so many to try! Dirty flashing time >.-

Carbon said there may be some issues downloading nightlies for some devices. Don't know why or when it will be fixed. Check Carbon-Rom.com and it's in their changelog.
edit: they are migrating servers. will be down for a couple hours at the minimum.

Hmm, interesting, thank you. It says they are changing servers and that downloads are unavailable for any device possibly through the weekend:
We are currently transferring all of the nightlies and files over to the new server and making some necessary changes and maintenance to our shiny NEW sever. As a warning, downloads and other services will be operating sporadically from now and most likely throughout the weekend. The download app will FC when you try to use it and so it has been removed from the Play Store for now to avoid confusion. Also, the “downloads” tab of the site will be empty during this moving process.
In summary, you won’t be downloading Carbon for a little while .

Is screen rotation broken in 02/16 and 02/18 nightlies or it's just me?
Update:
Terribly sorry - looks like orientation sensor got stuck - all is well after powerdown.

woop, nvmd, didn't read the server stuff.
I didn't wanted to try this out as I knew KK builds are not feature-full... Or were, because this one seems to have more features than JB versions. I will download it and install it in the next minutes. I was wondering... May I help you with some new screenshots because the ones from "Screenshots" sections are pretty old, also being from 4.3 .

One issue I have noticed with the latest 4.4 Carbon builds I've tried (CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140204-0011-d2dcm.zip - EUR and CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140209-0004-d2dcm.zip - EUR) is with Skype. When I make a video call, the other person can't see my video feed. I've tried switching the camera to front and back camera but had no luck. Go back to 4.3 and it works fine.
Just a minor issue but thought I'd report it.

I was having the same issue saying it may be synching last night.
Had to downgrade from the one on February 11th as the phone wouldn't sleep with it installed. Was starting awake all the time. Hopefully sorted it with this latest version.
If not, apart from the Skype video problem it doesn't seem to have any problems I've found.
