But its morning…
Maybe M&M wanted to test the ALARM in the morning before release. 😉
Very interesting! Downloading and then testing!
Seems responsive at one time, busy with “System” and “System UI” at other times.
Antutu scores differs very much, from just above 8000 to 1x above 10000.
One time I stared at the CPU-screen for 5 min., from 400 to 1000, without having open apps, doing 20 to 40%.
No 1 GHz bug yet! Almost 8 hr and 50% battery left.
Screen 56%, android OS 11%. Some browsing, facebook, line usage…
All in all I think not bad.
I’ve got this on a stock rom and it helps with battery life:

Carbon fully updated to CM11 M9? Aha.
Yes Nova builds Carbon on top of CM11.
downloading and testing in a moment.
Thanks M&M.
notification is gone, how?? can you fix it?
ace 2 please
I would really like to see your amazing work with new kernel in SlimKat. Please *_* thanks nova fusion!

So guys i really don’t know how to download this!
I tried to download on chrome -> stuck at waiting for 2 hours
internet explorer -> stuck at waiting for 2 hours
How do i get a download link?!
Any reccomendations?
Please help me i hate the stupid android 4.1.2 i have!!!
Thanks in advance
Yordi
Oh well it worked on my ipod…
I’m sorry
and the camera work?
someone please tell me
you could port it lo lg l5 e610 great work. i hope your answer
Nice!!!
But… From the last update i’m having hard reboots every now and then, a lot happening just after update. How can i diagnose why is this happening?
I have a GT-I8190L from Telcel.
BTW I cannot update to last TWRP release(black screen on recovery mode). Already tried both ways(Recovery or odin).
… Is I8190L kernel different from I8190?
Only difference between i8190 and i8190L is that the L version supports 850MHz instead of 900MHz band and got other languages preinstalled. The different radio band is most probably caused by another modem software (baseband) but I couldn’t see anyone who tried this, yet. Anyway there should be no problematic difference between kernels.
Thanks! Any Idea how to find about hard reboots happening?
I found no systematic way for solving problems like this, yet. But i noticed that when updating novafusions ROMs, you will have more and more problems like 1GHz Bug, random reboots, hot battery and so on, the more often you update your system. So I started factory resetting my mobile about every ten versions of Carbon and reinstalling all apps and configs manually (no Image-Recovery, because it will bring the old problems with!).
By this i could everytime get rid of every annyoing bug.
This is more of a developer question, does Android have anything equivalent to Windows’ crash dump generated after a random reboot?
That’s correct and it’s exactly what I do to be bug-free. It’s always best to do a clean install if you like a particular update.
Very good suggestion! +1
Gonna try a half factory reset(backup using f2fs method)… Having over 200 apps is kinda difficult to reconfigure them manually.
Solved by backing up as f2fs tutorial, do a full wipe(system, dalvik, cache, data, internal sd), install new release and restore data from backup.
😀 No crashes yet!!! (1 week testing)
I got some generic linux knowledeg about logging, thats like:
(Type in a Terminal window!)
dmesg = the debug messages log
and in directory /var/logs you should find some logfiles
you can watch these using a tex editor or ‘cat’ command.
Maybe this might help..
You could try updating the baseband (not kernel), see if that helps with the reboots:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526831
Be careful to choose the baseband for I8190L, not I8190.
And remember to reboot twice after updating baseband.
Battery life is amazing!
the camera work?
someone already proved the camera?
No, the cameras still can’t make videos, only take pictures. Very strange.
It’s running smooth, thanks Nova Team.. it’s flawless..
I found a issue with my sound.. i can hear my keyboards and incoming chats… but i cant play my own music,.. neither hear my voice notes etc.. .. anyway to fix this? advices?..
‘Sounds’ to me that 1) your player has an issue or 2) volume in that player is muted…?
I have a bug in the notification area when you change into the notification area and the quick settings area the icons in the higher part on the right corner move and nearly disappear the sames. Someone have a solution o the same bug?
Could you please include tun.ko module? Some VPN solutions, like OpenVPN, requires it to work. Thank you for your hard work.
Ace 2! Ace 2! Ace 2!
No this is the Carbon! Carbon! Carbon! release.
Add BOOTUP in Privacy, please!
All Carbon releases with the new kernel seems to be having problems with the Wifi. Frequently the connection to my wireless seems to be there, but no data traffic is possible. Besides that turning wifi on and off is a bit of a drag. The phone slows down during these actions and sounds playing stutters.
I hope you can fix that somewhere in the next releases.
Thanks 🙂
Never had this bug, maybe a fresh install is an option for you.
Or your router is the issue, giving data again for a while after the connection gets refreshed by your phone.
Me too, never had that issue. And, honestly, I don’t remember when I did my last clean update. Always dirty flash + wipe cache/dalvik.
Ace 2!!!! Please
I can’t import my SIM card’s contacts!
I tried it using the gapps default contacs app.
Any help?
does the stock camera works this time around?
Yes.
thanks, then i’ll install this one
bad equalizer. give dsp manager back.
And what about music aplication? I hate to use google music app, pls fix that 🙁
Which governor is best for longer battery life. My battery drops really fast when I use mobile network or WiFi. Anyone with a better option.?
awasome rom and good battery life do clean install no bug using 2 days thanks to nova team
what governor do you use and how fast does your battery drop
“how fast does your battery drop” –> at about 9,8 m/s2 😉
Didn’t understand. How long does your battery last and what governor do you use. I have battery problems though I did a clean install.
It was just a physics joke. I use pegasusq and noop, my battery lasts about half a day but I don’t think it counts b/c I use Waze (gps+screen on) a lot and that drains the battery very fast.
lol, his answer was the falling speed if you drop your battery
I usually have a comsumption of about 5%/hour (no wifi, 3g enabled, apollo open all the time) with abyssplug/ondemand and sio
second day with the ROM, no bugs (until now) some laggy process but i think is normal. Now waiting and evaluating the battery life. After 20 min. calling, 1 hour in stand by and 3 hours with wifi turning on, the battery is 85%.
Offtopic: Anyone know an app that can use Nova TWRP to backup Carbon system+everything ‘live’ without having to reboot into recovery mode? It would save time and battery. Thanks!
You can’t just fully acces mounted partitions. Thats why TWRP/CWM actually CAN do such things while the OS has not booted.
Okay, clear enough! Thanks!
I just updated from 20140728.
Before that I’ve updated from 20140701 with no trouble at all and without wiping. This time I got some issues with all Google apps and I needed to reinstall all of them. Cam doesn’t work also.
The DSP Manager is missing, Please fix this ASAP,

I have a bug in the notification area when you change into the notification area and the quick settings area the icons in the higher part on the right corner move and nearly disappear the sames. Someone have a solution o the same bug?
