Support
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ
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. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.

sorry to ask little bit off topic. Is there way we can install the kernel without PC? My windows 8.1 64bit wont let me connect my phone in my fastboot mode which is a widely known problem now. There is no solution yet. Any alternative way to flash the kernel?

The great start
Excited to see 4.4.2 on my Xpro.
Would like to see all things working than sticking to native ROM, e.g. WiFi hotspot, FM, HDMI, etc.
Testing, will report.....

Phone restarts frequently when using gallary app. Even when tried to change wallpaper.
Annoying music shuttering.
Phone hangs after playing game for some time.(e.g. Empire Defense 2)
