In case you hadn't noticed, cyanogen has been releasing nightly builds for our device. There has been a release almost every day. I'm running today's release 20130705 and no issues yet.

As a matter of fact I have a huge one for pure Google, plus other things.
There is work being done on the connection issues though.

I don't blame you. I hate sense and touchwiz and all other skins out there for the phones.
But the connection issue is a bigger problem for me, so hopefully they will get it fixed.
But i highly doubt they will since they never did with the original EVO.
All they said was "we are looking into it / working on it"
ANYWAYS....
it exciting that the cm team is putting out nightlies. Also, I see that deck has been putting in work for this device and the newer kernel. As always, its fun and cool to watch development happening before our eyes.
If everything worked out of the box, and nothing was ever borked, then there wouldn't be much to develop and this website might not be here...
Thanks for posting, I was bummed when they stopped nightlies for our device and wouldn't have known that they started again if it wasn't for your post.
fwiw - I get great reception with CM. I am currently running meanrom and it seems to put the phone in 2g in areas where other sprint customers have strong 3G. Reboot (or flip airplane mode on-off) and I get a strong 3g signal.
I find that my reception doesn't differ from ROM to ROM if I'm in a good signal area regardless.
But in area that switch from 1x of 3g to LTE I find that sense ROMs offer more data stability....
Greetings!
I implore you to please try to keep this on topic and respectful. Civilized disagreements can certainly be had, but let us not stoop to sophomoric insults and puerile retorts.
Thank you for your participation, together we can make a difference
I had been looking for a CM ROM after all of the great things I've read about it, because the 10.0.0 stable release for 3.16 didn't include kernel updates for the touchscreen on my EVO, so I was glad to find the nightlies and give it a go.
Maybe it's only because I've gotten used to the stock Sense and MeanBean, but I really can't find any love for this ROM.
I really wanted to like it, too. I have often read about how its built-in tethering is first-rate along with a number of other advantages,
but I just can't discover them.
Signal strength for voice is abysmal; I can not get a data signal of any sort; USB tethering will not turn on; I can find no option to change the weather info from Celsius to Fahrenheit; some settings I have commonly adjusted are accessed in a much different fashion; and so forth...
The last straw was having an endless startup animation for well over an hour after restoring apps & data, rendering this ROM useless on my device. Granted, the backups came from a Sense-based ROM, so there's likely some incompatibility happening, but I've invested far too much time since I got this device a short time ago(May 10) into unlocking, rooting and S-OFF, and finding and installing apps and tweaks, just to start over from scratch as if I had never used the device before CM.
After all I have read about the CM mod, I honestly had high hopes and expectations for using it on my device. It's just not like anything I had expected, and maybe that's my own fault for not having researched it more fully, but it's been a major disappointment to me. I could also chalk up my disappointment in CM to being a complete N00B with Android devices, not really understanding much about the platform, but that's also a stupid n00b remark.
I truly appreciate all the time and effort that goes into compiling the CM ROM(and others), and understand a small bit of what it takes to accomplish it, but it's just not to my liking. Does that make me a bad person?
Not at all....
Like I said before the mods stepped in, don't knock it till ya try it, and if you don't like it then try something else.
My phone runs like a beast on AOSP ROMs , but that's my experience on my phone. I still run on sense though, because I like sense...
This is why we rooted and unlocked our devices, to make them ours.

do the CM nightlies fix or alleviate some of the connection issues (dropping down from 4g to 3g or 2g) or is it a hardware problem?

It's got to be a software issue, as the CM has given me almost no signal whatsoever, whereas MeanBean and stock has always provided usable signal strength. And I'm in a fringe area for 3G/4G signal.

What I assume most people don't understand is that "Nightlies" are by definition test builds. They are simply built automatically, regardless of whether they work.
kushdeck is the Dev that maintains CM for our device, and he is working on solving ALL of the outstanding issues. In fact, on the EVO 4G LTE IRC channel (#htc-evo-4g-lte), there is a build that has all but eradicated the data issues. That's really the best place to go for CM builds, as it takes a while for changes and updates to be merged once fixes are discovered. By flashing builds from IRC, you can also take an active role in helping to test the builds by providing meaningful feedback and logs that can assist deck to identify and fix issues.
While the CM Nighlies are back, they do not have all of the current updates, changes and tweaks that deck has made to the kernel source and ROM to add features and improve stability. So those of you that have tried CM and had a bunch of issues, that's why. The ROM is still in development. So your options are either to assist with that development by helping with the testing, or waiting until everything is fixed and merged to CM. The choice is yours.
P.S. AOSP and Sense are VERY different. CM is very close to what Google intended when they built Android 4.2.2. Sense is HTC's overlay on Android 4.1.2, so if you've gotten used to Sense, there will be a learning curve involved, as HTC has obfuscated, modified or removed a significant amount of the stock Android features. But if you can get past that point, the benchmarking and speed comparison of the ROMs isn't even close, since Sense is such an immense RAM hog. And with the 3.4 kernel being integrated into CM, available memory is at 790MB, which makes multitasking an extremely pleasant experience.
P.P.S. To answer the original question - no, the Nightlies do not fix the data connection issues. However, the latest build I previously mentioned on IRC does. But it's indeterminate when those changes will be merged. Once this ROM is stable and close to 100%, deck will update his thread here with a link to the stable build. That's when you'll know it's ready for prime time.
P.P.P.S. Speaking of hardware issues, though, the EVO 4G LTE is known for being notoriously unreliable for holding signal, especially in fringe areas, when compared to other LTE-capable devices. So don't be surprised by that if you're comparing it to a different device.
Thanks for the explanation, I've dabbled in AOSP on HTC touch pro 2 and used CM as a daily driver on my previous phone (galaxy s2). I'm a bit hesitant now because of a hard brick on the sgs2 (CM stopped working one day and couldn't flash recovery). but still wanting the improved experience stock offers. though nowadays some manufacturer's UI overlay do give you some useful features like the camera UI.

another issue i've noticed is that when I'm on wifi and leave the phone idle for a while, the wifi seems to go to sleep along with any other data connection and won't wake up till i cycle either the wifi radio or toggle airplane mode. then get a flood of emails & messages. this is probably the most aggravating problem along with turrible 3g data speeds & not holding onto 4G connection.

As suggested by Captain_Throwback, whom I have thanked, go grab the latest build from the IRC channel as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643396
Fixes for data, voice, and a lot of other functions are to be found.

Stuck in a bootloop after trying a WiFi tether to my desktop machine.
Doesn't happen when tethering to my laptop.
Wonder what's wrong?

Nope. I'm giving up on this one.
I honestly tried to like it, but it simply doesn't work in the way I expected it to.
A WiFi tether shouldn't send it into an endless boot loop.
I'm really sorry that I couldn't find the love for this ROM, but it's been more headache than anything.
I'm going back to the MeanBean.

I'm still running the original stock VZW/HTC ROM. I know, I know, slow adopter... I'd like to root and go with a ROM that delivers better battery life and a basic debloat. However, nearly every ROM I read about seems to have a major (in my humble opinion) flaw. A non working camera or video camera, non working voicemail notification, malfunctioning signal strength bars, no 4G, etc., etc.
Is my only choice really a Froyo ROM? I'm not willing to stomach any major loss of functionality (or apps), be it phone, camera, calendar, GPS, navigation, various google apps, Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G and 4G, working signal strength bars, etc. I guess I am also in the "I prefer Sense" group but also have not given non Sense ROMs any time.
If responding I kindly request a few sentences of explanation/clarification rather than just saying "Get ROM X, it rocks, it is the best". Thanks in advance.
Everything works on most the gb roms, with some needing certain fixes to fix certain things. Gingeritis 3d, with chingys new radio is tits imho
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
Well, I'm not going to give you a few sentences, but I can tell you that I use Gingerth3ory (link in my siggy) and everything works, including vvm as long as you apply the bootable zip fix for that. Before, vvm was the only thing not working.
Camera, videocamera, wifi, 3g, 4g all work. I switched to youmail for vvm because I wanted netflix over stock vvm so that meant a GB ROM.
I highly recommend Droid Theory's latest Senseless Rom. This is the smoothest and quickest ROM of his yet and that is saying something. There is a large mod community if you're interested in that. Most importantly, DT is very responsive and provides great support. He will be coming out with an update very soon to fix the market issue.

Synergy is the way to go.
Thanks folks.
OK we have votes for Gingeritis 3d, Gingerth3ory and Droid Theory's latest Senseless Rom. Has anyone ran more than one of these? Any important compare/contrast between them? I care much more about stability and battery life over eye candy. Those are my top 2 concerns. If those things are improved over the stock VZW/HTC ROM I should be happy. The biggest problems with this stock ROM for me are maintaining a data connection when switching from 3G to 4G and back. Also the speed of the GPS lock is very slow. How are these things in these recommended ROMs?
(yareally: You posted 2 identical links but mentioned 4 threads. Yes the questions in some of these were related to mine but certainly were not identical request.)
I'm going to venture a guess you haven't actually looked at the threads or the dev's pages. Most have a thread for bug reports. GB ROMs are about as solid as any OTA these days. If you're new to flashing DO NOT, DO NOT use Synergy. It's a frankenstein project with no official stable release and a constant onslaught of nightlies with no end in sight. STAY AWAY FROM NIGHTLIES. Try BAMF. Try Gingeritus. Try Eaton. Try GING3R3DTH3ORY. Try something that's known to work and isn't revised several times a week. From the sounds of it, Eaton might be what you want. It looks and works very much like stock.

last one was a miscopy, there was another one at least on the front page, but I was half asleep at the time. I said 3 to 4 btw, not 4. There have been lots though of rom reccomendation postings though and felt you would get a better idea by reading what other people had asked already.
i'm using Synergy with the "06275r" radio and the dreamKernal. i also have SetCPU on set to "performance". it runs really smooth and the battery life is better then stock.
i've tried pretty much every ROM out there and have had this running for several days now. i like it and will keep it for a tad bit longer(why just a tad? i can't help it.. i like to keep trying new ROM's)

I have to disagree. Just because Synergy is updated every night does not mean you must flash reflash every day. The nightlies have very minor revisions (adding HTC Car Panel, changing the host file for better ad blocking, changing the Market icon color, changing the email splash screen, etc). If you don't need the newest revisions, then don't flash the latest nightly until something comes along that you really want/need. Synergy nightlies aren't released because it is an unstable rom. Quite the contrary. I have tried roms from 4 other devs and Synergy is the fastest & smoothest of them all. The only time I've had lockups or reboots is when I overclocked too much, which would have happened on any rom.
Don't be dissuaded from trying Synergy because there are nightly updates. If anything, that should tell you the devs are committed to making it better.

I don't agree with that and I'll tell you why. Let's say I tell Joe Bob to go try synergy. He does, and downloads who knows what on whatever night. Then he has a problem... Now what? Try to decipher Ziggy's advice? Try another nightly version? As far as I'm concerned nightlies are for developers. I think that because that been the whole point of nightlies from the beginning. I'm pretty sure CM was the first, but even they did that in support of a release candidate aiming towards an official release. I wouldn't tell someone "Go try a CM nightly!" even if they were looking mostly solid. I've read almost all of the thread for synergy. It's hardly a work without error. I don't believe that project is dedicated to producing reliable ROMs. They show no sign of such in any form, be it a release candidate or a final release. It appears to be a few developers tinkering and experimenting, in many cases against the law, and I cannot in good faith suggest someone fresh on the scene jump into one of the most convoluted ROMs for the Thunderbolt.
I've been using nightlies for INC and they've all been stable for the past several months. They just keep adding features. At first it sort of bugged me that I never had the most updated version but then I just lived with staying with my version for several months until I got bored enough to flash the latest.
If nightlies isn't your thing then that's fine but I don't see a reason to tell other users to stay away from them. Generally they *will* have more bugs because the dev's don't thoroughly check the ROM's before they release - they expect the people who flash to find the bugs and then they fix it in the next releases, but after a while all those bugs are gone- then they move to adding a new feature and that may have a bug, and the cycle continues.
But in most cases these bugs are very minor and overall the ROM is superior in performance / battery / features than other ROM's.

Please read what I wrote. I would not tell a NEW user to try a nightly. That would be stupid. The last thing some virgin flasher needs is to flash some nightly that got some new test kernel cooked into and its quirky as hell, or some jazz like that. We ALL wanted our first flash to work and not freeze or crash. I'm telling a NEW user to stay away from nightlies, not the experienced guy. I don't care how stable one night's version might be, or if almost all of them are. They are test beds and you don't know what you're getting night to night. And NO nightly I've ever used has been quirk-free.

Well.. I've had plenty quirk-free. But the Incredible nightlies are more polished than the thunderbolts.
I think you shouldn't tell them not to flash a nightly, just warn them of possible issues and explain to them what they are (and they would see this anyway because every nightly thread I've been to explains this)

if someone is starting a thread like this, reading threads probably ain't in their game plan. I don't give advice to strangers I wouldn't give to a friend. You run something like a version of BAMF and you're running something a dev has hung his hat on. Not so with a nightly because there will be another tomorrow night! Telling a noob to try a nightly, regardless of stability, is like telling your kid to learn to drive behind the wheel of a Kenworth. If something goes wrong, its going to become a bigger deal than it would be if the guy had flashed 2 or 3 ROMs. This seems real obvious to me. Are you forgetting your first experience rooting and flashing ROMs? I'm not gonna warn someone of the dangers of doing something I consider stupid. I will say "If you want to do something stupid, go flash a nightly for your first ROM. If your LUCKY it will all work right. If it doesn't, go fly a kite because you're own your own, bro."
Thanks for the further comments. Let's not try to get too side tracked on one ROM with many nightlies. I definitely prefer to steer clear of a ROM with nightlies. I'd like to let others do all that valuable beta testing and simply benefit from their work. Selfish - sure but uncommon - no.
Just to clarify some personal details that may help with recommendations. I've read many of the posts here from the devs themselves on their ROMs. However, slogging through hundreds of pages on a small handful of ROMs is not my idea of fun... I'm quite computer/phone literate but have not done programming in years. I also work in the software industry. After years of crappy and unstable WinMo devices and plenty of random freezes, resets and data loss, I've found a pretty nice new home with Android. I'm not afraid to experiment, trouble shoot, etc. However, I want a phone to USE much more than to constantly tinker, repair, troubleshoot, etc. I'd like a really mature, stable bulletproof ROM along with the ability to have GB and keep Sense. It is incredibly difficult for me to read the oftentimes massive features lists on the first page of any given ROM thread and distinguish it from other competing offerings. Despite being pretty computer literate, most of those pages are nearly entirely "greek" to me.
Perhaps there is no single best ROM or recommendation but I am going to continue to read all the replies here and hopefully get my choice narrowed down. Of course I realize no ROM choice is permanent. I'll just say again I like to USE my device rather than constantly "tinker".
Cheers.
InfuseTh3ory ... Try it.

FAQs:
Q: Do I need to Wipe all data?
A: In general it is not a bad idea if you are moving from another ROM. If you are upgrading from a past version of this rom, you should be safe with just wiping Cache and Dalvik
Q: How often do you plan you release updates?
A: See... the thing is... I have a day job and work a lot. I only release "stable" versions that I typically run for 24 hours on my personal device before I release it to the public (dont really like to release unstable versions)
What exactly is different from Joelz original?
I agree with you about 3D..I doubt aosp will ever have it

what's this again?
Hello,
i will be posting a changelog soon, have to go to a meeting. Aside from a few libraries and modules, there are no differences. My goal is simply to get 4G (WiMax) working. It also appears to be a little faster then the other ROM although I dont have any benchmarks.

Cool, thanks for posting. Good luck in your quest to get 4g working, I'm sure that's going to be a tough thing to accomplish.

I am not exactly sure of that statement, I do feel that after some time to reverse engineer how the 3D interface of the EVO3D works, it is possible to build an ASOP with 3D Support.
Of course I doubt it will be implimented by the Google ASOP or even the CyanogenMod Teams but rather the development community. The reason for this is that only a small number of mobile phones have 3D Displays. But hey, The XDA Developer Community has some of the best delvelopers on the planet...

I agree..but the 3D has a limited number of devs working on it and I don't know if anyone is working on aosp 3d except maybe Toast. ..
I don't know tho so I can't say for sure..I just kinda doubt it

wait, please for the sake of clarity, could you explain the difference between this and joelz kang? it sounds like the same ROM, but you *plan* to get 4G reverse engineered from sense for aosp. Which is great, but what then makes this new or different? For instance, in joelz kang, it was kmobs sensation build ported over, updated from toast's build to android 2.3.7, with a newer boot.img, and other things I can't recall atm. Please detail your changes? If there is not a difference, then frankly, you should not have posted this, because you have actually not developed something, you *intend* to. I do not mean to be rude, but for example I build themes, but I don't start *new threads* to say "soon I will make <new theme name> based on <old theme base>" .... maybe the best thing would have been to get in contact with joelz and *help* him and others get more functionality for the cm build? Peace.
Nah, it is something I am not planning to drop

Hello,
The main difference is that I have merged many of the binaries/modules for WiMax into the ROM. When I get some time today, I will be publishing a list of all of the changes

im pretty sure joelz cm7 has nothing to do with toasts, toast never released the source for it. joelz's is built from the CM7 KANG for the sensation and its using toasts kernel from the valpha3. JS..

You are correct with this statement. The WiMax problem still existed in Toasts v3 Alpha. I am currently studying the EVO 4G build of CM7 to see if I am missing something small. While it is not portable, parts of the build.prop are useful
I really think using the sensation as the base may not have been the best idea as the sensation does not have a WiMax radio. Of course with the WiMax, Radios and 3D aside, the phones are surprisingly similar
On a side note, I am also playing with an ICS Build, but its taking a long time to complie. Its far from stable but it boots (I was board last week)

that being said, nothing is impossible with some smarts and knowledge of what you are working with. chad's kernels are a perfect example. that guy is brilliant and managed to port the beats sound drivers from the sensation.

CyanogenMod is not for everyone. It is as close to pure as you can get without going fully ASOP. I personally love it because of OpenVPN support

Looking good
I'm very pleased to see it up and running. Good Work bill.
Btw, what gapps do we flash?
I did the one from goo.im for cm10.1 and voice search wont work
For those curious, here is my basic overview thus far;
I've been running it for just over an hour roughly and its fairly bug free (minus the wifi and bt)
Camera works great, minus the preview, which i still never figured out why it wouldn't work, you will just see a white screen, guesstimate where you are pointing. =P
Minor transition stutters, nothing major, just slightly more noticeable then on the 4.1.2 rom (give it time im sure it will improve)
I love the 4.2 feel, and all of the 4.2 features are working smoothly.
Overall, this a damn good place to start, You can tell when you flash this rom, bill put a lot of time and work into this, considering this is the first release, and it is so bug free.
Personally, i will be returning to PAC, as it is my daily driver, but im looking forward to what cm10.1 is bound to bring to our phone.
Thanks again Bill

Voice Search is a bug I still need to work on. I was really working hard on the storage issue...in the end, it was an edit that came from the Capitivate Glide that fixed it...LOL
Of course, either by some edit that CM added in or one of my edits, I broke wifi (it was working in earlier builds. I'm trying to revert some of the edits to try to get it working again).
This is probably the 100th build of CM10.1 that I have done, so yes, there has been a LOT of time put into it. BT will be a bit of a pest to fix, but I am sure I can get it done. I already know the edit for the Camera preview, but I can't get it to build when I institute the edit...which is really odd. I'm still working on it.

Alright, yeah, i wasn't sure if it was just the gapps, or if it was a problem you knew about. Im glad you got the storage thing worked out, haha, i was getting desperate, found that rom i linked to (cm10 thread) that used 4.1.2 partitioning for 4.2
See, thats a problem i have when i was trying to work on the apks for the rom i put on hold. Its working just fine in the first one, but when i fix another part thats completely unrelated, it breaks the first. LOL. I feel like Wile E. Coyote trying to catch the roadrunner at times.
Holy Mother of ****. lmfao. In bow before you and your dedication. I feel if i was in your shoes i probably would have thrown my machine out of frustration.
As far as the camera preview goes, are you just recompiling the app with the edit, or are you building it from source and then adding the edit every time?

The partition scheme is actually a step back to the old /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard from ICS days . I found that it worked well on a few devices, but was having issues with emmc not showing up, as improper permissions were being indicated. I finally searched EVERY Tegra 2 device that had a 4.2 build to see what I could get working. The Captivate Glide had one that I hadn't tried, so what the hell, I figured. When it booted and I saw everything working, I almost cried
Yeah...I know what you mean about the fix one break another. Only issue is that since I was only checking storage, I don't know which edit broke wifi...lol. Could even be something that CM added in when they initiated wifi tether support...lol
Believe me...there were times when I looked at the Photon and considered it's aerodynamic properties and whether it could fly and how far...lol
I've tried both. Each way, I get the strange lot of errors...lol
Is wifi supposed to be working? I'm can turn it on and off but it never finds any networks nearby.

I forgot to put that wasn't fully working in the OP.
I'm gonna guess and say any issue with 4.2 gapps is due to this (via RootzWiki):
Does not include non-NEON libraries, as there have not been any non-NEON devices (Tegra and Tegra 2 devices such as the Motorola XOOM) which have received 4.2, and the 4.1 libraries are not compatible with 4.2.

I wish I could hack the webcams of all the folks who said we don't have competent developers for the E970 when they figure out what ignorant f*cknuggets they are. Like my nerdy ass is going to buy a phone that isn't going to get ridiculously awesome AOSP within a reasonable amount of time, ha ha ha ha!
Man, I wonder how all those dudes who ditched their OGs feel. BTW this runs GREAT. The screens in OP are mine.
Much thanks to all of the developers of the E970 for sharing their talent and work! I try not to post much - still a noob with nothing to add toward development so don't want to take up space - but with all of the recent work added, simply wanted to say thank you.
I still have never flashed a ROM (ever); it's not that the ICS development was not interesting, I simply wanted to spend additional time educating myself first. With AOSP, AOKP, and now CM, time for me to step-up my reading!! I'm rooted, unlocked, have my nandroid, and almost ready to go - though do need the GPS working as I can't live without it.
BTW, great, in-context use of the word f*cknuggets, Deathmonkey!

The best way to educate yourself about these things is to flash and play with them. Seriously, make sure you have a good backup, and then flash to your heart's content. Flashing a ROM and then flashing back to your good recovery each take a few minutes a piece. It's easy.
Sweetttt!! :victory: , will themes from playstore work with this rom?
Downloading now and excited to flash. Had problems with Codefire SR15, the power button caused a system crash. Hopefully that won't happen on this!

Thanks, Digil! Though I have not done it, I agree nonetheless. I knew I'd want to take advantage of all this phone (and developers) have to offer, so rooted and unlocked when I got it in December (thanks to Carret's instructions!) without issue. I have TWRP installed and did my first nandroid (though will do another to make sure I did it right, as mine was a bit large @ 3GB). Confident I can flash a rom, though not certain I did the nandroid right and want to make sure. I'm in sales and travel out of town quite a bit, so really need GPS working, so have simply been enjoying seeing the work, reading the comments, and trying to get better versed (after the wife and kids go to bed). Unlike many, I still do 1000-1500 minutes of calls a month, so needed to see the volume working as well.
I seem to be a pretty old fart by xda standards - 44, though still a heavy metal punk at heart (hair metal guitarist and singer back in the 80's). Though I love technology, I'm not as up to speed as most on these forums, so am taking it slower than I probably need.
yes finally we can get some good cm action going

lennyquai, I definitely feel you about wanting to take it slow, and do your research first. In fact, I think XDA (and hell, probably the world in general) would be much better off if everyone took that approach. We seem to have some awesome devs here, so I know when you eventually do decide to start flashing some ROMs you won't be disappointed. Good luck! See you around.
Btw, thanks to Shelnutt for putting this up, and all your work. Can't wait to try it out after work tonight!

I seem to be a pretty old fart by xda standards - 44, though still a heavy metal punk at heart (hair metal guitarist and singer back in the 80's). Though I love technology, I'm not as up to speed as most on these forums, so am taking it slower than I probably need.

I got you by almost decade... But the kids in here are pretty tolerant of old farts.
I'll caution you that once you start flashing roms you'll get addicted and flash everything that comes out. Titanium Back Up Pro is more than worth the cost. You can not only back up then restore apps (incl data), but once your downloaded apps are restored, you can restore the data for the launcher, which automatically setups up your home screens (be sure to do a full back up of apps, before you start flashing).

Has anyone had problems with data not working randomly? Chrome would just sit there.....
Edit: I noticed when my data wasn't working it was showing H, Now even though it's toggling thru all types of data it's working. Not sure if it was because disconnecting from wifi or what but all seems ok now.

Has anyone been able to find the "Enable USB Debugging" setting (I get a message to change it, whenever I use TiBu)? Usually its under the System section in the Developer settings. I don't find Developer settings and I think that I've been through every setting and haven't found it.

Tap build number in settings -> about phone 6 times and it'll be enabled. It's a standard 4.2 feature that cm has kept.

Starting with 4.1 I believe, Google made it so you have to go to "About Device" under settings, then tap the "Build number" location seven times. A toast notification will show up when you start tapping telling you how many more taps you have to go. Developer settings will then show up in the "Settings" menu. Why they hid it like an easter egg is beyond me.
Edit: Dang Shelnutt2 beat me to it.

Thank you. That's a very interesting set up.
YOU HAVE NOW BEEN CARBONIZED
Built from the Carbon source, these unofficial builds will be updated weekly. Maybe more if time permits or there are any huge changes to be incorporated. Built specifically for our devices, no ports here anymore. This should allow it to run a bit better than a rom that was technically built for another device.
And now, on with the show!

CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub. and on our Gerrit CarbonDev Gerrit.
We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.
Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.

***NOW BUILT WITH ArchiDroid OPTIMIZATION STARTING 11/07***
Many thanks to @JustArchi for his commit regarding optimizations in Android builds. What are these optimizations? Check out THIS THREAD for more details on what this entails. In most basic terms, this optimizes code within the build a lot more than the traditional flags set by the code I build from. You may not see a doubled AnTuTu score, or doubled battery life. But this provides a lot more stability and smoothness than simply using the Sabermod toolchain that is also included in these builds. So props to him for this commit. Go give the man some thanks!
Special Thanks
Let me do this first and foremost before moving on with the downloads and installation instructions. This would not be possible without the help and guidance of a few other talented builders here in our community, and without the help of those who tested this before it was posted.
Thanks to @rogersb11 and @cyril279 for helping me out along the way. Their guidance and support have been most beneficial, and without that help, this thread wouldn't be here. So if you thank me, be sure to thank them too!
Thanks to the entire Carbon Team for the hard work they put into building such an amazing AOSP rom.
Thanks to my testers, @cyril279, @edwin270, @rogersb11 and @dsteele for being brave enough to be the first people outside of myself to take this new build for a spin.
To anyone else who has helped me along the way in my Android experience and journey from noob to only partially, just a bit of a noob. Your guidance and support has been appreciated more than you could know.
Download and Installation Instructions
As always, neither I, nor the people thanked in this thread, nor your neighbor are responsible for anything that may happen to your device including, but certainly not limited to: Soft Brick, Hard Brick, Exploding Batteries, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, raining porcupines, or male patterned baldness.
**IMPORTANT: If you are coming from ICS or JB, you MUST upgrade your recovery BEFORE flashing this rom. See below for compatible recoveries**
CWM - 6.0.4.4+
TWRP - 2.6.3.0+
For SGH-S959G
CWM - 6.0.4.5 from here
TWRP - 2.6.3.0 from here
1) Download the latest build from here (Current Build: 12/08 ). Older builds can be found here.
2) Download the Gapps pack of your choice. (I personally use Slim Minimal 4.4.4 which you can find here). But feel free to use whichever Gapps package you prefer.
3) FULL WIPE if coming from any other rom. If updating, wipe cache/dalvic before flashing, unless stated to do a full wipe.
4) Flash the ROM package
5) Flash Gapps package of your choice
6) (Optional) Reboot recovery, wipe dalvic/cache. (Recommended if you are coming from a custom kernel build.
7) Reboot device and enjoy the goodness.
SPECIAL NOTES
This will flash with the stock CM kernel with CWM Recovery, which many people find a little laggy. There are custom kernels in the forums that you can flash after the rom if you want more control, performance, stability, etc.
This is built straight from the source code found on the CarbonDev Github. The only things that have been changed are the removal of CarbonDelta and ROM Stats. Since these are unofficial builds, not supported by the Carbon team, these two apps really serve us no purpose. All updates will need to be flashed through recovery.
All bugs or questions should be reported to THIS THREAD ONLY. Do not send questions to the Carbon Team as this is not an officially supported device anymore. So don't bother them. Bother me instead.
For general CarbonRom questions, check out the FAQ.
That's all I have for now. If you enjoy this rom, please hit that thanks button and inflate my ego a little bit.
Happy flashing!
ROM: CarbonRom (Unofficial Builds)
Android Version: 4.4.4
Kernel: Stock CM Kernel Source

OK, I don't have a BT device, but almost everything seems very smooth and functional. USB connections/transfers seem fine, and mobile data almost seems fine. I can download web content in the browser, but never could get the playstore to download any apps. It pulled up and went through the steps to say it was downloading, but the app never actually got pulled down.
Pretty good stuff to this point though...
Also, it didn't set up my google account when I was setting it up, that's usually an included step. I didn't realize it til I opened the Play Store and then it went through the Google setup.
Edit: rebooted and a playstore download started up... it just seems a little finicky about beginning to pull. I don't have full signal at home, but was getting 3 of 4 bars most of the time.
That sounds more like just a bum install of Gapps. Especially if it didn't ask for Google Account right off the bat. I've had that happen before. Usually not a rom or Gapps package issue, but just something hanging in the flashing process.
Glad to hear everything else went fine. I'll do another fresh install on mine in the morning and see if the same issue crops up.

For network I am always on 2g unless i do want to use the phone data( which i mostly never use, always on wifi). Sure 3g signal is not so strong from within your room.
When done with rom flash, I made it boot first. Then went ahead to set it up without google account, when back to recovery and flashed gapps.
Finally, after changing to "art" runtime I launched playstore then did setup my google account.
So far, so good............just about to pull my battery stat, to be sure it last as it should be. All my apps are running great so far.
NOTE: be sure to wipe/factory reset 3 times. Since previous gapps could be left untouched. I again make sure i wipe data, cache, dalvik cache again respectively, so to be certain.
Let me know how the battery stats look. I haven't really tested that, but mine is running with the RB11-Shift kernel so it would be different than if I had the stock kernel with it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Well, baking overnight and possibly stronger signal downtown seems to have cured whatever mobile data issue I was having. I've done a couple of d/l's here at work, and it jumped on them fairly quickly, and the transfer rate seemed in line with what I normally get.
Did they include Heads-up?

Had I decent amount of random screen lighting up lol. I have a logger running now so we'll see what happens. Other than that I've been pushing this thing

Yeah!, heads up is included though there is no "personal" settings for it anywhere. To enable pull down the notification drawer look at the top right. The first icon before the tiles icon.
Working perfect even for non-intrusive calls here.

I've noticed that with Carbon on my S3 too. Let me know if the logger turns up anything helpful and I'll do some research and see what I can do for it. I'll be running another build off on Friday.

Hmmmm............how come i have never seen anything of such.
Guess must be the lockscreen notification stuff, i reconfigured mine to turn on only when i have a notification, by default it is on and guess that has a sure trigger..............just my thought.
Have no screen issue. Even turn off screen animation is disabled

Pocket mode is a lot of what's behind it I think. Using the proximity sensor and turning the screen on. I disable it right off the bat.

Perhaps I should change up the OP and second post and leave a list of features and such? For granted, the link in the current OP will take you to the Carbon website where it's all listed.
It didn't hit me until I messaged you about the pocket mode. It took me a while after first porting it to realize what was going on. By habit now I always automatically disable it right off the bat when I flash it.
I'm going to be running off a build tonight that, if everything goes as it should, means the ROM will be built with Sabermod toolchain. Thanks to @rogersb11 once again for helping me get the necessary changes done to be sure it's going to build right. I'll test it on my own device tomorrow and if all is good I'll post it up sometime tomorrow afternoon.
