Root [MetroPCS] [ROM][4.4.4]CARBON ROM Kitkat 4.4.4 for LG Optimus F6 [LOTS OF FIXES]

I'm pretty sure this guy has abandoned this rom... quite sad really. Devs for this phone seem to be notorious in starting projects and never finishing them.

I did not abandon anyone or anything.. i kinda got screwed.. crazy ex threw away ALL my phones.. so i had 0.. i have annother F6 on the way... please be patient... i did a ton of work on the rom and kernel.. fixed the black screens, most random reboots and such are gone.. i guess what iam saying is, never forget where you came from.. that goes for all things in life, not just projects

Wow, that's crazy! But I'm glad you're still with us.

Wow, sorry to hear that. I am glad that you are still working on this, I have fresh hopes for this phone now. I have been watching this rom for a few weeks but have been waiting for additional stability improvements before giving it a shot, so now I know they are coming [emoji1]

I had a few issues at first but I gotta say that Carbon ROM and Intelliplug kernel ran like a dream for me on the F6. So if anybody is having any issues wipe and start fresh. There is also a Cam fix link you flash after kernel and it works perfect, just sayin. But ya honestly if flashed properly Carbon ROM runs great really. I myself flashed ROM, gapps, and then SU zip in that order and then reboot back into recovery from recovery and then flash kernel and if need be Cam fix in that order and you should be golden. If you run any of Warranty Voiders SD hacks flash rom, gapps, and SU zip then reboot to system and set up then reboot to recovery after you set up all you're apps because the internal data is going to copied to SD card. You really need a class 10 SD card for the hacks, and you SD card must be partitioned, which you can do from TWRP on the F6 anyways.

that kernel was a labor of pure love. you have to love your phone and community to modify that much code and tweak to that degree of perfection

Carbon ROM ran real nice and is complimented very well by intellaplug kernel in my Opinion. Yet to each his own. Xperion ROM and Freedom kernel run really nice on the F6. you ever run across GT's XperionROM and custom Freedom Kernel?
Yes, I tried this Xperion ROM. Very nice but I do not like to see that is the same jelly bean version 4.1.2 brings my phone, I was looking for a kk 4.4.4 like this and I do not really go back to 4.1.2

Thank to Dm47021 forma this ROM :)
