Thank you, downloading now ù.ù

Do not believe it xD
was not fix the camera xD
Google translate 😉
Camera crashing here too. I don’t see any other issues so far. (for me)
google camera works perfectly well 🙂 or any other camera app
But it has no bugs ..
It has the same bug last ..
The camera stock crashes ..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w92jq68765tfo2p/Camera2.apk 😉
Download carbon 20140614 from http://get.novafusion.pl/archive/ open file and browse: system/app/camera2.apk replace same app on same dir with this on your device.
DONE!
finally…. HOVER!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!
how do you use it??
In the Notification bar there’s a new icon, turn it on by tapping it.
1) does it have russian language? 2) what avout camera bug?
1. yes 2. stock camera is not working. use google camera instead
Google Camera is also much better than the stock one.
No. In gcamera a half of a screen is only for one button
new system installer shows what it’s doing if you flash the ROM. Thanks Novafusion
sucessfully instaled, but /system is not f2fs… still ext4
Twitch/youtube streams still do not work
+1
Thanks Nova!!!
Fully f2fs, had to switch to ART after boot but no problem.
Camera works too.
No noticable performance increase with f2fs… but no issues so far! 🙂
System still runing with 1 GHz, no way to solove the bug.
By changing the governor and i/o scheduler in the settings/performance maybe can help you. I use pegasusq and sio (great standby time, if use frequently approximately between 5-6 hours). After changing it, try to reboot. Hope this works for you. Just try until the core status clocked between 200-1000Mhz. 🙂
where is the link? I can`t find it please help me!
Le tengo que flashear las GApps 4.4.4?
Descargando, falta probar. Gracias!
Do I have to flash GApps 4.4.4 too?
Downloading, not tested yet. Thanks!
Si vas a hacer un flash sucio sobre la release anterior, no hace falta Gapps 4.4.4. Yo hice así y no tuve ningun problema.
Si haces una instalacion limpia no se.
For dirty update it’s not needed to flash new gapps. Not sure if you are doing a clean install.
Gracias man, tenía la duda de algún posible conflicto con las apps y demás pero tengo la ROM corriendo bien. No me falla la cámara como otros dicen, ni 1GHZ bug. Todo perfecto, ¿Tú que tal?
A mi la camara stock no me anda, pero de todas maneras uso la Google Camera, asi que no me afecta.
Con respecto al bug de 1Ghz, vi que todo el mundo se queja, pero no se donde fijarme si me está afectando o no. Tengo aproximadamente 1 día de bateria que es lo mismo que tuve siempre.
En qué pais estás? Probaste de cambiar el baseband?
For me the Carbon ROM is the perfect fit for the S3 Mini. Great Job!, however, in this release I noticed an increased battery drain, camera does not work (I installed the google camera which goes ok) and I also noticed CPU working all the time at 1 Ghz. In either case, thank you very much for the great job you are doing.
And S Advance! Please guys!
Entity scores 8400, IO storage speed and multitask are much lower 🙁
Antutu, not entity. Autocorrect…
Mobile data turns on automatically!
Did you do a clean install.?
It’s usually advisable to do a clean install when upgrading rom.
This is just to avoid errors or malfunctioning.
Yes, I did. It happened in previous releases, too.
this rom support nfc?
Thanks guys!!!
Memory speed(Sandisk) test now scores 9.5max(before f2fs it was 8.5max)
Camera is not working(camera tile works)
In Profiles, if i set to unsecure unlock it does usual unlock(using pattern)
If i move facebook to external memory every restart it asks for password again
Where is the link? I cant find it please help me
I installed The Carbon ROM. Yesterday I wrote about some problems regarding the camera not working, fast battery drain and CPU all the time at 1000 MHZ, today, one day after installation, the camera is now working, the battery lasts one day and a half but CPU is almost all the time at 1000 MHz. I do not understand how did the phone fixed by itself, but is doing better. Anyway, for me Carbon ROM is the best ROM for this phone. Congratulations!

Too bad. I got plenty random reboots and very often a black screen for about 30seconds using this release.
no carga con el celular apagado
se me descargó totalmente el telefono y cuando lo enchufé no quería arrancar, quedaba pausado en un pequeño circulo que ni giraba, luego de un rato lo desconecte le saqué la batería y prendió con poca carga del resto perfecta la rom ningún otro bug
Me podrías ayudar con un problema de corrupción de los archivos de la carpeta IMEI de mi dispositivo porfa??
1. My home hardware button does not bring me home nor show the recent, even the home in the navigation bar nor the one on slimpie. (I can use the hardware home button to open my device)
2. No vibration
3. The tile setting does not work
4. Does the device tunables in carbon fiber is empty (is it suppose to be?)
5. Device seldomly locks
6. How can I replace the camera with a working one?
7. Switching from notification to quick settings needs improvement
Thanks for your hard work and hope these helps
My vibration was lost since 20140607 cyanogen
1,2,3,7) Working fine for me. Did you do a clean install?
4) It has always been empty, I think that’s how it is supposed to be for the time being.
5) What happens to me is that screen doesn’t turn on when I wake up the device, the soft buttons do light up but not the screen. I have to leave it some seconds alone and then it works again. Annoying but fortunately it doesn’t happen very often.
6) Install Google Camera from Google Play store.
Thanks man, what is the clean install you’re saying? Much appreciated
There is no sound in alarm clocks.
Can someone tell me how much the battery lasts with moderate to heavy use?
The MD5sum doesn’t match the one published on the download page:

While the download page states:

Does any body facing a problem with the call sound level in both loud speaker and handset speaker?
Yes, i have that same problem. The volume is too low both with inner call and loudspeaker
If you are having issues with network connectivity (cell, not wifi) I STRONGLY recommend updating your baseband. See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526831
I replaced my stock AMG3 (you can see your baseband version in Settings -> About phone) with the latest ANF3 and the difference is HUGE. I get a lot more signal and stability.
See that you download the appropiate version for your phone 8190, 8190L or 8190N.
Always remember to: 1) flash baseband zip 2) reboot 3) reboot again
No need to flash kernel, just baseband.
Wi-Fi Direct doesn’t work!
Can anyone help me with the IMEI corruption of my phone, please???????
I need help!!
… and I don’t have IMEI’s backup.
Try to do a Factory Reset, after reflash Carbon. That solved my Problem with an older Version. I was totally scared of that, tried to restore EFS but nothing was working. Just a simple Factory Reset. Hope that can help you out.
I tried this many times before and didn’t work.
The IMEI folder of my phone is completly corrupted. I said it before…
Can anyone share me the IMEI folde, editing before the informatiin of the files to generic info for that I write this filed with my phone’s information.
I have problem with my wifi connection, my mifi midem is near to my S3 mini, but the signal is still low
Hi,
after installation it changes my pin, so i can’t get in. Does anyone know what’s the default pin?
Thanks in advance.
