Who's back? We're back.​
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, build, and use our code at CarbonROM's GitHub... and at CarbonROM Gerrit.
Disclaimer:
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.
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.
4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

Remember, every penny you send to us goes right back into the rom. It's used for hardware, server costs, etc - all the things that help us make Carbon better with every release. Your support means the world to us! If you've enjoyed Carbon, please consider a donation toward this goal. Thank you, and we hope you continue to enjoy Carbon!

Camera is as "good" or bad as it is on other Roms. No specific camera adjustments were done.

---

Please support the dual version of Z3(d6633), This can be my only hope to use my phone with Nougat ?

---

I flashed the rom, it all worked normal but the camera.
I kept getting the "Can't connect to the camera" error. Then I retried to reflash the ROM but without gapps or SuperSU, but even like that it didn't work.

the DualSIM Z3 requires additional Model blobs and testing. As nobody in the team owns a Z3 DSDS, we unfortunally can't support it.

I think I know why. I'll look into it. Was my fault as on my testing builds I always ran userdebug builds, but our releases were "user" builds, so the Cam is very likely broken thanks to SELinux or something like that. I will research it right away.

---

So, we should avoid this version and wait until the camera is fixed?

I fixed it already and restarted the builds. CARBON-CR-5.1-MOO-WEEKLY-leo-20170101-1528 should be fine.

Happy new year and prosperity for your whole family. @Myself5
I have tried the rom and there is a rendering in the animation of the system that is very little but it is enlarged when many processes are executed for example when you get many notifications to the time and also when you have many open applications.
There is also a conflict when passing files to the microSD from the PC sen que qeda making the copy and never pass the file is like a problem reading and writing.
This rom works fine on my Z3 with the panel replaced as there are roms with kernels 3.10 that do not work on devices with replaced panels.
This rom has that scent when it used android N DP for the Z3.
Thanks @ Myself5 is a great job.

---

Is this rom suitable for everyday usage? Thank you for your hardwork!

Is your SDCard exFat formatted? We still need to add support for that, but its on the todo list
For the animation stuff, I can't do much. I've been told that the newest QCOM adreno blobs improve the GPU experience, I'll see if I can build them into the next release.

---

Thanks @Myself5.
Guys, what bugs did you encounter in the current versions?

---

Sorry for asking this question @Myself5.
At the moment of a new update will be received a notification-download from the rom or will be made an installation from the recovery with zip file?
This question is because I have installed the update that corrects the error of the camera and I deleted the Gapps and the good thing is that I have only left the apps that I downloaded from the PlayStore, in a few words what would be the appropriate procedure for Install a new ROM construction.

There is no Updater implemented yet (its another item on the todo list though).
When you update you _should_ be able to just flash the ROM, GApps should survive. If thats not the case, as it seems to be for you ATM, I'll look into that.
Till then, just flash the ROM and GApps afterwards.

---

maybe it's a silly question but why "moo" ?
And could we have a working / non working list ? From the devs, or from anyone else ?
Thanks anyway for this Rom !

---

Wow. I can't believe someone's still making ROMs for Z3 O_O Great! I'm gonna check it out soon. Thanks for Your hard work, @Myself5 !
