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

[ajcity]

Somehow the call echo came back, I'm not quite sure what to do to get rid of it again as none of the settings in my build prop have changed

 

[The-Truth]

Wow that's very odd I get great call and hearing service. Again as far as what doesn't work for me is my camera and its only after flashing kernel hmmmmmm.

 

[The-Truth]

Na idk my Bluetooth works fine, it never doesn't work with Carbon ROM for me atleast

 

[JayzTwoDimes]

Looks like this phone is dead, I'm just gonna get a oneplusone. Definitely worth the $300 for an unlocked bootloader and huge community.

 

[ajcity]

sorry to see you go jay, that guide you put together really helped me out when i was starting out

 

[ajcity]

Has vibration been fixed?

No this ROM hasn't seen any development in the last two months or so.

 

[The-Truth]

Thanks for the info iits been awhile that I used this ROM.

 

[The-Truth]

O no prob at all man

Ok so I hope theres somebody out here who can fill me in as to why the copy data to SD and install zips create the hack perfectly then after a while it just reverts back to 1.27 Internal G's of ingernal data again? I have ran this hack 20 times and it initially works every single time, I get what I partition for & my internal memory reads 11,37 G's for instance, I have changed it around here and there because I have to redo the ordeal over and over so often trying to get it to stick. The data on sd copy and the install zip work great but wont stick very long, I havent had to use the uninstall zip, after my internal data reverts back to stock if you will I just boot into TWRP and reflash those two zips as its all I have needed to get the internal data to run through the partition I create. I know there is the init.d script zip aswell but I havent needed it to get the alloted data to take to the partition. I do however have to re partition my sd card everytime I run the hack even though its still partitioned, for some reason just flashing the zip hacks wont complete its process unless I repartition again, same integrors, different integrors, doesnt matter but if I dont go through partitiong proceedure again before flashing the data copy and install zips then it just doesnt take. I noticed that the copy zip flashes real fast if I dont repartition indicating its not mounting/taking if you will I have learned. the partition I had made, wich if done properly the copy data to sd zip takes a second to do its thing.
Anyway does anybody know what could be going on or why the hack goes perfect at first then after an hour or two just reverts itself back as if I never flashed the hack to begin with? Do I need to run the init.d script to this hack of Warranty Voiders aswell? And if so isnt it odd that the hack works perfect without the init.d script zip as long as it does before reverting itself back to 1.27 INTERNAL G's? Thanks for any input anybody may have so I can get this hack to remain.

This question would be better to ask on warranty voider's sd hack thread.

 

[The-Truth]

Right, its just that its also a F6 carbon rom thread is it not? So ppl who run carbon on F6 like myself could get help from somebody on this post & thread who is up on my issue as far as knowing my dilema and o idk maybe have some advice or some pointers for me. But ok I will look for Warranty Voider. Just figured this is a rather relavent question concidering the nature of this thread. After all its on topic and where I began to learn about carbon rom n sd hack to begin with u knw. Ok tho thanks Chief.

To start from beginning, assuming you have root:

*Do a nandroid backup and transfer to computer, just in case you mess up. Also backup anything you want to keep to your computer because you'll be wiping all data on phone and SD.

Using Windows, a SD reader, and Minitool Partition Wizard Free, make 2 partitions on SD, make sure they're both PRIMARY partitions and not logical):

FAT32 PRIMARY
ext4 PRIMARY

(you can also use the partition-NN zip to create your ext4 partition in the recovery, read the instructions at the link)

Download & transfer to your SD all zip files.

Then do full wipe of your phone, follow the steps:

1) using TWRP advanced wipe, do a full wipe: data/cache/dalvik/system
2) reboot directly from recovery to recovery, during reboot TWRP will ask permission to install missing superuser (gone due to system wipe), let TWRP install superuser
3) install the carbon rom zip & gapps zip
5) reboot to system, do the setup, install SuperSU from Play store, install all apps you want to have (for no SD situations), update all apps
6) reboot to recovery
7) install kernel zip, then wipe cache & dalvik
8) reboot to system, let it finish loading
9) reboot to recovery
10) install SD hack init.d zip
11) reboot to system

Problems I encountered with this build and how I solved them:

Phone has an echo in-call: change mic to analog, disable background noise filtering

Low in-call volume: set volume step to 60

Sometimes after a hard crash, doesn't load data that was stored on SD card only: SD ext4 corrupted, to fix reboot into recovery and run fsck on demand zip, then reboot into system.

When listening to audio on bluetooth, after turned screen off, sometimes phone would stutter then hard crash: force min CPU speed to 596Mhz.

Default camcorder crashes phone after a couple seconds of recording: don't use camcorder.

How did you set the volume step to 60? The only way I could figure out how to change the 'volume step' was to install an xposed module called 'volume steps+' but it limits me to 50. Also I can't find the option to disable background noise filtering in the calling app.

No youre right man. that would be the thread to look inro for this hack, Didnt realize Warranty Voider had another thread goin on about it. You happen to have a link here in A.F. to that particular thread please?
