Whats the main differences between CM, Carbon and Omni Rom ?
Google:)
Haha, what an excellent joke! I’m laughing so loud right now, you’re killing me!
Tweaks)
-Cyanogenmod just was there for giving an upgrade to devices that didn’t get any or not fast enough android upgrades to their phones (like especially Samsung!).
-Carbon is there for giving a lot of additionaly features to supported phone
-OmniROM is supposed to become what Cyanogenmod once was, because cyanogenmod now turned commercial, and a bigpart of the community doesn’t like this.
Great!!! Thanxs NovaFusion
Downloading now..thanx for the great job..
Thank You!
Best ROM eva!
Amazing release,very stable,smooth and very fast!!!Browser work fast!No battery drain! Thanks NovaFusion!
No battery drain he said. Hahaha at least test it for a day or two. Pathetic.
Pathetic? You are pathetic! In 7 hours my battery down only 3%!!! Maybe you need a new battery!!!
Thanks for your comment, I liked it.. alot! 🙂
performance settings?
Abyssplug and Sio, and new battery, buy 2 weeks ago.
imma try that to abyss+sio. got new battery to 1month old^^ thanks.
Idiot. You posted few minutes after the update was added to the site and already talked about how battery drain is good. How could you posibly know that before any testing? How can you say that when there was only few minutes between the release and your post. You must be in relationship with superman. Get real!
Ohh and yes now you can say that there is improvements in battery since there were few days that passed after the release.
You are a fucking idiot!!! And have more respect to other people!
I can confirm that battery life is awesome, in 4hours i didn’t loose a single persentage. Please can you tell me if it’s safe to use ART or not, i don’t know if to stick to Dalvik or to upgrade to ART
I’m using ART, is very fast and stable.
Thank You M&M
Thanks a lot!
I’m waiting aokp
Signal fix please :'(
just everytime i flashed a CM update carbon update comes out.! YEAH Great job M&M!
you’re the “beast!” rwaaaar! THANKS DOWNLOADING!
que es milestone?:)
Se refiere a que se le puso especial atención al desarrollo del ROM. Saludos!
se podria decir que es una “version” dos pasos antes de una version final, si no me equivoco en el desarrollo de sistemas iria una Milestone, Release Candidate (RC) y la versión final,
Para este caso en específico indicaria que ya no debería de tener tantos problemas como las versiones previas, porque ya se han pulido la mayor parte (sino es que todos) de los errores que tenía, y se genera una versión para que sea testeada por los usuarios y puedan dar mas feedback
MIlestone es eso justamente, un “mojón” en el camino
Un indicador de “punto de referecia”
En software se usa para identificar un punto de quiebre
No necesariamente tiene que ver con que sea final o RC, pero normalmente una MileStone es una versión final.
Hi!
IS WiFi direct supposed to be working on your releases?
I never could find any device when trying wifi direct.
Also my S3 Mini can’t connect faster than 54 mbit.
What could this be?
perfect release..no bug with me..n playing need for speed most wanted without lag..excellent job..tq….
Had the double layered statusbar with Themes, after upgrading.
Did a superclean install (format Dalvik, Cache, System & Data) this morning and it is normal again! 🙂
Now upgrading to ART…
Good job M&M!
I have the same problem and have find an solution…
Swich back to default theme now you should have a normal status bar. Reboot.
Then deinstall your theme and install it again. Now you can switch back to your preferred theme. 😉
Have Fun!
