tethering only worked for me using CWM Tether and a user agent. i tested it with chrome (user agent set to ubuntu-linux) and no other browser.

Thanks for making this but how long does it normally take to boot up during first time? It's been about 12 or so minutes for my phone.

EDIT: Solved the issue by reinstalling stock, rooting again, going to recovery and then installing the kernel which you posted then installing the rom and finally wiping all the cache.

 

[Dearvion]

I looked through this forum three or four times before I flashed this rom because I afraid of another rom that starts out awesome and then BAM it's no longer working, but the more I've read and learned I've realized that this is a work in progress and these guys that put this stuff together are geniuses... In short I'm running this rom in question on an lg Optimus f6 ms500 from metro pcs with the 0606 version of gapps.. Stay away from double tapping the home button while the screen is in sleep mode, avoids the black screen of death... Happy hunting

Okay so I know you turned it up but I'm getting low call volumes and the person I'm talking to says he's getting allot of
echo

Well it was good for me because I don't talk much on the phone as it is but I hear that the echo fix is in the works as I text. I use an app called tikL that I've actually incorporated into my job and they love it... But to answer your questions I still have echos as well... BTW the tikL app is a walkie talkie app lol

 

[ksjd0414]

Yeah tikl takes me back to Nextel days a great app

 

[ksjd0414]

Love this ROM with this mod

 

[RelZeshi]

Love this ROM with this mod

That mod can only be done through ADB, right?

 

[ksjd0414]

No I used twrp

 

[RelZeshi]

Any chance you can post a step by step. I never ventured into this mod before, and I want to get it done right. >.<

*Edit* In a new thread preferably. In the interest to keep things simple.

I wiped cache and data and factory reset. then installed the rom.
without new kernel and with new kernel, I can't turn on the Torch and also go into About CarbonROM. It tells me: unfortunately, about carbon has stopped.
Also back camera doesn't work.
What should I do ?

 

[ksjd0414]

Any plans of overclocking dm47021

I think I probably found a bug.
"Ok Google" does not work every single time you say it, sometimes I have to say it repeatedly for around 4 times for it to recognize what I am saying and yes, I know nothing is wrong with my phone's mic as it worked very well before I used this rom and I also tried opening it both on my tablet and phone to see if I was saying it wrong and the tablet does work every time.

Still a pretty great rom, so far my favorite one for this phone, smoothest and really lightweight compared to others. I also have a suggest, Would it be possible to make downloading from the google play store go directly to the sd card without having to use the mod which switches the internal and external storage?

No u have to use the mod that's the only way

There was a rom I used a while back (can't remember the name) which allowed this to be done. Also with alcatel phones it can be done without doing anything to the phone.

Proposal/Theory for External SD storage solution on F6 - Android Forums Post 319

I must be missing a step, been trying for a couple hours. Can't get it to work.

 

[ksjd0414]

Gimme a sec I'll post a lil walkthrough

BEFORE YOU DO THIS HACK IF ITS A FRESH ROM INSTALL BOOT INTO THE ROM AND LET IT SET UP ON THE internal MEMORY THEN DOWNLOAD SUPER USER AND UPDATE YOUR BINARY THEN DO THIS HACK .

You need a class 10 SD card for best results

1. Make 2 partitions on SD I used twrp to do it. Go to format SD card and make sure you choose ext 4 and choose the size of your partition this will be where you data is stored, it will then take the remainder of your ad card and make it fat32 which will be your new external SD size.

2. In twrp go to settings and check the option that says format RM RF ( something like that ) . once you've checked it back to main menu go to mount and mount your SD ext partition.

3. Once mounted go back to main menu and wipe SD ext .

4. Go back to main and uncheck the format RM rf option and then go back to the main menu.

5. You then want to flash the datacopy.zip then the data install.zip ( whatever they ate called ) in post 319 for KK.

6. After it installs reboot to system and u should be good.
