CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. The team is composed of former members of Team Liquid who have forked the code in an attempt to bring greater speed, better coding, and full authorship to code. We are in no way affiliated with Liquid0624. The rom was forked at Liquid beta 3.2.1 and has since undergone major code changes and modifications. Please note that on some devices the kernel is not yet linaro compiled.

Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.

While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.

This is my new fav rom. Was on it since 1.1 and as of today im running 1.3 with the latest lean kernel. Its rocks!

Only issue tho.. Camera is weird now. When i snap a pic my gallery force closes. Pics never show up. Anyone know a fix? I may try recovery to fix permissions see if it helps any. And yes i did a proper clean flash. Same way ive done it hundreds of times

EDIT: also when i opened up my touchwiz backup it decided to pretend that i was using my s3 for the first time...as in all my icons from homescreen and widgets were gone

no i was on miui rom, then decided to flash carbonrom. I wiped cache dalvik factory reset and system wipe. then i flashed the rom. When i saw noen of my internal memory was left and i had even checked the 0 folder, i went to my touchwiz backup, where my internal memory was back but almost of my downloaded apps crashed...just curious do you find the 0 folder thoruhg root browser or is it just out in the sdcard folder(cuz thats the one i found)

Oh I got u... I use root explorer...go to the folder that's named mount not storage... I'm not on the rom yet so I can't remember exactly what folder my internal was in but look through the folders I'm pretty sure u will find it

i just tried...the only 0 folder i found was in sdcard(internal) and it has nothing in it because its the one from carbon rom...the thing is tht everything is back now that i went back but every app just force closes...should i go to stock rooted nuttmegg posted and then try to restore from my romtoolbox backup of my apps and data?
