Really camera take vídeo??
This is lollipop to?
5.1.1. is not Lollipop … lawl
I hope you’re being sarcastic here. 😉
sure 🙂
Instagram and twitter video crash? How is the Battery life?
Is this rom better than cyanogenmod 12.1?
Please OTG
I will install it!
WiFi? i cant connect
Yes,me too
Me too, ditched this ROM and restored my CM backup…. 🙁
Hahaha yeah, like me xD only for CURIOUS
I experience this problem too.
Looks like a kernel problem.
the first release of cm12 also had this problem
give novafusion a few days
Guys this is First Release, is not Cyanogenmode CM12.1.
Can somebody explain me short what ia CarbonLP ?
What is the difference?
Currently i habe novas cm 5.1 in my phone
Usually, Carbon based roms have better customization than CM based roms. Other than that, it’s all the same.
i tested carbon and it has everything cm12.1 has and more]
such as statusbar settings and customizations
quick setting customizations
pie control
option to turn nav bar on or of and change colours
basically nearly everything
and it is faster than cm12.1 but wifi dos not work and carbon reboots when screen turns of
WiFi no WORK.
Wow you guys!!! Can’t wait till I have time to try it! Great effort!
And no doubt you can’t access all hardware modules on this one too. Why even release a ROM if it’s not fully working on a hardware level? It would only make sense if skilled coders were to debug issues and report them back here for the dev team to fix. What that said, the dev team should be on top of them.
“First release (20150526) of CarbonLP 5.1.1 for S3 Mini is available!

i cant find where it say its a stable version O.o looks like they want us to test it…. “We” are the testers, thats why they post it even if isnt fully working
Please, test it and report any bugs!
appreciate when something is don’t cost u anything………………
Not unappreciative, frustrated.
Then do not install it and stay with Kitkat. These are all excellent ROMS. Or learn to cook your ROM on your own. .l.
Problem with Kitkat too.
hi..do i need to Root my GS3Mini first before installing this? thanks, noobs here..
WOW!!! amazing, i thought you discontinued any other rooms different than CM, thank you for your effort!!!
finally!
a positive msg appear!
thumb up for making world better
🙂
Even though I’m not with my S3 mini anymore I’m still surprised by such amazing developer support. Hooray for Novafusion. I’d like to have tested CarbonLP by the moment it was released 🙁
Problems with the wifi not connecting
Thanks guys, but I was not able to detect my wifi and inmediatelly started a loop, restarting continually so I restored my backup of CM 12.1 date 05/23.
Although it looked pretty neet the little I was able to see. Keep the good work
Thanks for this ROM, is very fast and somewhat better than CM but the WIFI don’t work and the phone has restarting continually. You have a follower more 😉
What’s the difference between Carbon and Cyanogenmod? What are the main differences?
Pieter good morning, as you can see from the title, this is the first release of Carbon Lollypop Rom, usually they are with customizations than CM, but it is first release, new, with lots off bugs. If you want a rom that it is almost, not perfect, almost ready use CM 12.1. If you are looking for something really ok, CM 11, if you like to play with new Roms and experiment with it, go with Carbon, but keep alway a complete backup of everything, because for the moment, it crashes a lot.
I hope this helped you to decide
i tested and it has a lot of customization optons and all of them work with no problems
the only bugs are
wifi does not work
screen turning off causes a reboot
Thanks for the reply. But i’m just wondering, what’s so much different when you compare, let’s say, Carbon KitKat and CyanogenMod KitKat? I would like to know what functions Carbon has Cyanogenmod doesn’t have.
Just the most important:
-backlight control
-customizeable hardware buttons
-general gui customization
-customizable recent apps screen
-customizable energy savings configuration
-customizable progress bars
-additional app launcher with screen border popup menu
-customizable lock screen, lock screen key assignment
-customizable lock screen notificiations and direct app launchig
-customizable navbar
-persistent system file cconfigurations
-pie menu
-customizable power menu
-customizable status bar
all features offer extensive customization and configuration
Or simply said: CM offers about no features in general, because the main use for CM is just having a modern OS on an outdated smarpthone.
In opposite, CarbonROM is full with features, gathered from popular ROMS like AOKP and PAC.
It has everything cm12.1 has and way more
If you have ever used gravity box before you will know what I mean
There are so much options that I cant say all but I will try
Statusbar – colours – change position of clock – brightness slider
Pie control
Navbar – on or off – size – position – colours
Animations – notification animation – app opening animation – switch app animation
Notifications – colours – heads up or statusbar notification
Recent – shows search bar – change clear all position – change what clear all button does
I’ve installed Carbon 4.4.4, which has pretty much all the functionalities you sum up. So far it’s great!
thanks guys !!! i also thought that Carbon was abandoned.
if you once try Carbon you cant use another one !
happy you are still working on it 🙂 ! cant wait to see more updates.
When will the return of the AROMA Installer ?
Guys, when original CM12 will work stable? We dont need Carbon, we need stable ROM)
Alway reboot. how to fix ??
Gr8 work 😛 here are my bugs:
– No Berlin in the Timezone
– WLAN isnt working
– Random reboots
-Random reboots while locking the screen
I could not follow carbon development for this release since there is no access to it’s website. Nice one NovaFusion!!!
Then do not install it and stay with Kitkat. These are all excellent ROMS. Or learn to cook your ROM on your own. .l.
You guys do a great job with these roms, I already installed it and I went back to carbon 4.4.4 because the phone reset when screen is off pressing the on/off button. Anyway, good job fellas
What release you use of carbon 4.4.4?
Yes. Thanks NovaFusion.
Can someone help me? I flashed every rom i found on this site, and my capacityve buttons doesnt work, With stock rom they work and now i have do restore backup. I like using ur rom’s but this problem is annoyng me.
Go into settings
Go into buttons
Is backlight disabled???
No. It’s not from settings.
Yesterday I installed Carbon KitKat. It says offline charging works, but yesterday I tried it out, and it doesn’t. I read in a post converting the filesystem to f2fs enables offline charging, but that didn’t work as well. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I like to turn off my phone at night to charge it.
I’ve installed Carbon 4.4.4 (latest version) ROM yesterday and I’m very pleased with it. Cyanogenmod started going slow at some point and I’ve done a factory reset, converted the file system to f2fs and I have very good performances now (with an internal storage as full as on Cyanogenmod).
My only issue so far is sharing video’s. When I want to share a video in e.g. Messenger (Facebook chat), it crashes. I also can’t send any video’s on snapchat. I can vid, but I can’t send them. Does anyone know how to fix this?
It’d be great if you could update Carbon 4.4.4. I’ve been using it since yesterday now and I can say it easily keeps up with Cyanogenmod, if not better. It has a lot of functionalities (PIE, navigation menu, …) you don’t find on stock Cyanogenmod.
For everyone with wi-fi problems.It is a kernel issue.I flashed F_Kernel and now the wi-fi’s working.
As say Jay, the ROM it’s working with F_Kernel.
Wifi works, screen turning off don’t causes a reboot.
😀
and where can find that F_Kernel ???
You can find that in the XDA forum, section about s3 mini.
I don’t know if I can paste the link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/development/kernel-fkernel-4-4-x-roms-f2fs-t2898666
Wifi is working for me, only issue I have is with profiles app and dialer app, they randomly stop working. In previous release profile app worked without issue (Maybe the issue is with higher call volume setting, I had to increase it, because calls were too quiet, and above volume 9 for calls profile app crash. Other volume bars works fine.). And when some1 is calling to me, it takes a long time before the phone starts ringing.
Sry, I wanted to post this message to the build 20150701, not here, you can delete it, I cannot.
