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!
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) Join our Discord server! There, you can connect with other Carbon users and our developers, and you can get quicker responses to your bug reports. The invite link is right below.
Notice:
In order to install GApps, you must flash the ROM then reboot into TWRP before flashing our custom GApps package (as this switches slots). Custom GApps package can be found at https://mirror.myself5.de/taimen/GApps. We're working with the team behind MindTheGapps to fix the upstream for taimen.
Also, we know the default wallpaper on is black. We know it's caused by the RRO overlays on vendor and unfortunately we can't change the default (yet?), you can change it manually without complications though.
We know it’s complicated, but it sure is worth it!
Install Instructions:
Flash the newest factory images on both slots
Move your ROM + [GApps] + TWRP.zip to your internal storage
Boot the TWRP.img > Check what Slot you're on (Reboot Menu) ->Wipe Data & Cache -> Flash the ROM as well as the TWRP.zip
Either Reboot to system or, in case you want GApps, reboot to recovery via TWRP (Reboot -> Recovery)
Check and confirm that you are on the opposite slot from Step 3. If not, switch to it and reboot the recovery again (Reboot Menu) -> Flash GApps (and whatever else you want to flash -> Reboot to System -> Enjoy CarbonROM

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!

I'm using it right now with no problems. Use these gapps as stated in the op https://mirror.myself5.de/taimen/GApps/ and just follow the instructions, and you should be good.

When trying to flash the image I am encountering 'updater process ended with error 1' I could not find a solution for this. Any ideas?

How do we flash the latest factory image on both slots? I am not familiar with this process

Easiest way is to backup your internal storage and select flash all

magisk 16.4,razorlove gapps 0328,dolby,subt. all working fine!
If you get boot loop using razorlove gapps just force reboot and your good to go!
I also wanted point out something this rom does that no other rom does.When using dolby there is no popping at all and when you clear recents there is no clicking at all.
You can double tap anywhere on screen,not even DU rom does that!Great start guys,awesome rom!Very glad your back!

Do not flash custom kernel, you wont even be able to get back into recovery and you'll have flash factory image

---

Some apps are force closing when doing some things. Gallery closes when editing an image. Snapchat closes when trying to open a story or a photo someone sent you. I reported in the jira, but if anyone has a fix, i'm all ears. (I can provide a logcat)

Confirmed. Will try to " fastboot boot twrp.IMG " and then flash latest TWRP zip in this temp recovery to put recovery back (while connected to Windows PC and in boot loader mode)

My recovery was intact sounds like a kernel issue more than a rom issue contact the kernel dev they can look into it
