About the GPe version:
Only for C6806_GPe from Google, do not flash on a normal Z-Ultra
This is untested by me as I don't have access to a GPe Z-Ultra. Use at your own risk
The GPe version has been flashed and booted. Thanks to @CCJ22 for testing this out.
The GPe version of Carbon is built with CM11 device tree so will have any CM11 Togari and Togari_GPe bugs tat come from the device tree

[ROM][4.4.2][Unofficial] Carbon KitKat - Togari GPe [2014-03-11]
@CCJ22, I think I have found the problem with the GPe build. I had missed a line in the config of the build so had pulled in some togari stuff instead of GPe. Should be sorted now. Building a new version now, will upload in the morning

Awesome sounds good. But I'm just now getting around to test. The MMS and calls not working was CM11.

---

OP, I'm here to report this has (so far) ran flawless on my GPE. I've had it on for about 15 minutes and loving it. Much more so then CM11.
Calls and MMS both work fine on GPE. Video I made coming up shortly. (Although not very well made video)
Question, is carbon rom based off CM11?
Also, can us GPE guys get our own thread by chance in the GPE section of forum? That way we can keep comments seperate? I don't mean to fuss, and not a big deal if it's too much trouble.

**UPDATE** trimming a video with built in gallery trimmer force closes. Not that I ever really use it but FYI

I can split this thread into two... (edit: done:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680026)
Good to know that it is running smooth
Carbon is based on ASOP (and other bit and bobs) and I have pulled the device tree in from CM11, as has Liquid and slim will aswell (if I get it to build fully)

Found another problem, music youtube, etc... Make no sound.
I find it interesting that your rom makes the calls and MMS but CM11 doesn't. Ah well. Great ROM

---

Here is a video showing proof of the rom working.
Disregard the beginning of the video where I mention working with the rom developer. I should have stated, the OP assisted me in getting this rom working on my device and only wanted to return the favor by making a review.
I DID NOT, do any work on the rom itself. All credit to the OP on this great rom.

All credit goes to the team behind the ROM and those that did the bring-up on the CM device tree, all I did was import the device tree into the carbon source and compile it
I'm uploading a build from today to the Downloads tab above, will update the OP when up - about 30 min
Nice little carbon review

By the way bluetooth works good, you can scratch that off your list of things that aren't tested

Do we by chance have a changelog? I see we're on build 3 now (updated last night as you stated)
TIA

Blue, when I flash this updated rom (thank you for compiling these for us GPE owners btw) do I have to clear delvik, user mem, and cache?
I'm worried I'll lose all my apps data and all my settings of how I set up the carbon fibers.
I guess, what I'm asking is for those of us that are newbs that already have this rom, but an older version of it, and want the newer version... How do we flash newer version without losing all the app data and all the settings?
I know with CM11 when I would get a nightly I just download and let it do it's thing. But since carbon, is much preferred and I'm forced to manually download and install (not built into it like CM11) what's the method I should use?

Good question, the sort that I don't mind spending time to answer (and thinking about the answer)
When updating a ROM you should be able to forget about the format Data and just wipe the cache and dalvick cache. This will keep all the installed apps and their config etc.
If you are brave you can switch ROMs like that as well but is likely to make things unstable. Not too bad going from one AOSP based ROM to another but to something like CM/PAC/etc it is more likely that things will play up and you will get FC and the like.

Charles thank you for your help.
I presume I clear cache and dalvik after flashing new update? Or before? Or both before and after then reboot?

---

Just once should be fine, either before or after the flash, but before the reboot

Perfect thank you
