***** Changelog *****

12-13-2014: Audio has been fixed

GPS has also been fixed
12-21-2014: Bootanimation lag has been fixed and double tap to lock screen works. Softkeys stopped working

2-13-2015: Added apollo music player to carbon (I like it). Also set on screen softkeys as default. Overall smoothness of phone (video driver) seems pretty good.

Google does not allow. Just find gapps.

Not even slightly. Built from AOSP. (meaning the Carbon rom was built using AOSP. Source code from stock rom from LG)

Added GApps to OP

How is the rom working out for those who are trying it? Someone should make a youtube vid showing this rom off

I'll do that soon I guess.

jma9454 · Dec 11, 2014

This ROM works great, the only downsides that I can find are that Torch doesn't work, and the lag on the first 30 seconds after bootup is ridiculously painful.

Here's another thing, it has relabeled the phone as lg lX0:

Here's a picture of more than one notification on the lockscreen.

jma9454 · Dec 12, 2014

Hey Mike, are you AA over at unleashed? Seems you're trying hard to get that audio up and running. Thanks!

jma9454 · Dec 12, 2014

Here is the one thing I would like to see with this ROM: built in tethering through settings instead of finding an app to try to get hotspot to work

MikeHoncho · Dec 13, 2014

***** Update *****

12-13-2014: Audio has been fixed, new link added to the OP

Orionhilles · Dec 13, 2014

Installed on d320 everything works (RIL,Wi-Fi,BT,camera/both/,even GPS!!!) thinking about leaving as daily driver, 'cause I like it very much

@jplsteel if you could test GPS on your end I would appreciate it.
