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

I swear it's like whenever I see DM post I get hyped thinking about all the stuff that's coming. It really gets me excited and I appreciate the work the devs are doing.

YES!! You're amazing, people do care I for one just thought you disappeared off the map. What do you mean by a high performance kernel? Overclocking?

it goes far deeper than that... replaces qcoms hotplug binary with msm_mpdecision (IN-KERNEL, better battery life + performance)
Extensive sysfs interface for mpdecision with all the tuneables you want (/sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/)

rebuilding Carbon today, Random reoots GONE!, Black Screen GONE!, Lights Work, built from source.. even notification led working, vibration is broken right now (as in no vive) i think i have it figured out too, but there are more important things that have been fixed...

I'm a noob but I opened an account just to tell you thanks Dm47021!
My best friend and I have been using this ROM ever since you brought it out working around/ignoring the "bugs". I've just been sitting, patiently waiting for your return with good news about the progress of this ROM... Looking forward to the next build.

Then .. I'll start on cm12 again.. Makes no sense to go to 5.0 if I don't have 4.4 working correct

Hey... Bro... I have been kind_of out... Thanks God with a lot of work...
All I want is for you to please post a link for donations... I'll be one of the first to take care U. If u dont want to post just send me a PM with how to take care U... Please... Thanks...
 
Well.. I got to the bottom of the black screen and reboots.. The vibration driver used in boardconfig.. Build without everything works great
... Build with tspdrv.. And behold. The vibration works better because I added Imm_timed output driver to kernel. Buy black screen and reboots would return.. So for now vibration is completely off limits.

Can you set vib.driver value lower for press 300 the long press to 200 ...thats what i did with SQ.lite app changed the values n I got rid of the random reboots and vibration issues . And can u turn off crt in source?

well iam going to try to mod the alternate tspdrv used in the ROM for timed output like I did with the kernel and see if it works
 
Just Fashed the new build a few hours ago. Battery life seems to have improved now that I don't have to raise the minimum CPU speed. I don't really mind not having vibration.
 
@Dm47021 Thanks a million for building this ROM. I might have never discovered the insane awesomeness of Carbon Rom otherwise. I've tried almost every aosp 4.4 ROM in existence on my nexus7 and IMO carbon puts them all to shame especially cm11.



Also, can someone tell me how to tweak the volume levels? I've seen talk of editing a sitar file? I can't seem to find any posts that show the path/to/the/sitar_file. Some help with this would be awesome.

Sure.. Its tricky to edit /etc/snd_soc_msm/ in that folder .. As far as tweaking individual items.. I am not extremly familiar yet

Thanks man. I guess I'll have to go digging through this thread since I'd just be taking a shot in the dark without knowing what changes to make. I'm pretty sure someone was able to increase the in call volume slightly by editing it. Thanks for your help. Just finding it is half the battle.
Edit: I just noticed that it isn't even part of the ROM. No wonder I could never find it I was looking inside the system folder.

Page 19, post 459 shows which lines to edit with Notepad++
I am assuming the line numbers will be the same but since this is a new rom/build it may be off. Just pay attention to the headings that you modify.
Also, please let me know if speaker-phone and bluetooth work with the newest build.

Thanks,

Speakerphone yes, Bluetooth no.
Actually the sitar file isn't part of the ROM since its in /etc. It isn't part of the ROM or kernel
 
@ Masterchief87

I am not knowledgeable enough to debate that, but I know it is a file that is flashed with the rom. And flashing the previous Carbon rom (as well as any other CM11 rom) resulted in low call volume. Tinkering with the sitar file can fix some of the sound issues. When I use the KK Port, Dana, or Xperion there aren't any of the sound issues.
Too bad about the Bluetooth.
EDIT: Look in the zip at ...\system\etc\snd_soc_msm

I stand corrected. I found it in /etc outside of the system folder but I guess /etc is symlinked to /system/etc so there are two different paths to the same file.
Edit: Also, from what I've read, almost all aosp ROMs have the issue of low in call volume so its more an issue with aosp in general than this specific build.
