Root [Virgin Mobile] [ROM][PORT] Carbon KK 4.4.2 (2/5/2014 version for d2vmu)

This ROM is really smooth and quick! Its amazing! But the first of the two sensors/lights next to the front facing camera glows a faint red that kind of bothers me. Anyone know how to stop it?

if i know correctly thats your proximity sensor. unless you turn off some of the options for hand gesture movements or for the screen to turn off when you put the phone to your face in the middle of a call, i dont think you cant turn it off.

its on almost all phones. but i could be wrong as im currently on the stock rom.

On an AOSP ROM, that should be for the Active Display feature.

I would like to think I am a some what seasoned individual when it comes to flashing ROMs however I am trying to flash this ROM and getting the following error:

Formating system... (which is spelled wrong?)
Mounting system...
Creating Symlink...
Set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Carbon KK ROM/CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140120-d2vmu.zip

From what I have been able to find thus far is that TWRP versions 2.4.x.x+ are known to cause this issue with some ROMs. I am running TWRP v2.6.3.0. Current system specs are attached. I have to be missing some small detail.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thank you!
