Struckn,

Im not sure if you do this already but -

To get "Virgin Mobile" to show as the network replace the eri.xml file in framework-res.apk.

Open (dont extract) the framework-res.apk
navigate to \framework-res.apk\res\xml
replace the eri.xml with the one I attached.

I also attached a readable version. The eri.xml is the compiled one - this is the one to replace with.

Download eri.xml HERE

Just did this for the 1/31 nightly, and it worked like a charm! Will include in any future nightlies that I post for other VM users.

For those looking to see if any given nightly is worth flashing, Carbon provides a Changelog link on their homepage, with an option to view the changes in plain English, which is nice. The second nightly has the Listview Animation added back in, this was a cool feature from 4.3.x which allows various effects when scrolling through a list. Xui Mod, as part of the Xposed Framework, offers this as well, with a few more features to go along with the scrolling effects, but it is nice to see this included natively in a ROM.

I installed the Official Carbon 01/31/2014 and everything works great with one minor issue: every time I open Titanium Pro it gives a message to allow Debugging by going to settings/Applications and check Debugging. Only problem is I don't have the Applications in the Settings Menu.

Is it placed somewhere else that I am unable to locate or is Allow Debugging automatically checked in Carbon and Titanium just needs to update for this new ROM?

Thanks!

It is under Developer Options in the Settings menu.

You need to tap Build Number seven times under About Phone.

A couple of quick things. First, I assume Halo is not yet ready for 4.4? I've been playing with the rom for the last two hours or so but have yet to find it.

Also, is there a way to change wifi/data icons to look similar to CM? I found the individual settings for clock/battery but the only other option I've found is to override the SystemUI icon color which isn't quite what I want, screenshots attached for example. Pretty sexy rom regardless, I look forward to its development.

As far as the options I'm unsure cause I've yet to try this ROM, just wanted to say I'm glad to see someone else who digs the FF33B5E5 (also known most of the time as ICS Blue) color, cause I love it lol pops so much on dark backgrounds

There are several xposed modules that can do that. I like Gravity box.

Photonik · Feb 3, 2014

Thanks, however reading gravitybox's xda page is detouring me from wanting to run it on a custom rom. They give some pretty implicit warnings.

Never had any problems running it on cm. I haven't needed it yet on carbon, so idk.

Another way to do this is to set it in Carbon Fibers so eri.xml doesn't need to be manually patched with each nightly.

Settings->Carbon Fibers->Statusbar->Notification Drawer->Carrier label options->Custom carrier label

I always use the custom carrier label, but the patch from @MopedRyder changes the carrier in the Settings/About Phone as well. And some people get worried when they see Sprint instead of their actual carrier.

Also, looks like lots of worthwhile changes in the 2/4 build!

Impressive list of changes. Looking forward to trying it.

BTW....My condolences on the Broncos early demise.

Thanks buddy! That had to be the single worst game I have ever seen; the Broncos losses in the 1980's were bad, but those were teams that never would have even been there without the immortal John Elway; this team was held to higher expectations after the record-setting season, so that is what makes it the worst for me. Oh well, life goes on. Will be interesting to see how many overnight Seahawk fans emerge when really nobody outside of the Pacific Northwest likes them. Plus, screw Carroll, he should have been banned by the NFL for leaving the NCAA one step ahead of sanctions for all of his shenanigans at USC. Manning and the boys will be back stronger than ever next year.

Clicking the link in the OP will take you to the section of the Carbon website for their blog posts; on that screen, towards the top, click "Downloads" and then choose the nightly folder for d2spr.

Also, the latest nightly will be at the bottom of the list. That confused me at first.

Good point, since that folder has JellyBean releases as well.
