Root PAC ROM/PA/Carbon interest?

I know it's a bit off topic but has anyone used Broken OS? It's like Slim, ran real choice on my OG Note. I know they have source for Nexus series. My dev station is shot at the moment so I can't attempt to build but if anyone does build it, it would be appreciated

I did a factory restore form TWRP, then flashed the Carbon ROM and GAPPS (only installed the TWRP app). Every two hours, the phone turns off and the notification light flashes red and green. Then I have to hold the power button to boot up again. When it boots back up, it works for 2 more hours then the same happens. Is there anyway to solve this? I have the MetroPCS variant. Thanks in advance. It's been happening since yesterday.
 
Do another factory reset and delete the android folder on your internal storage. You shouldn't be having those problems. I only had that happen once in the last 3 days and I think it was because of one of the Xposed modules I'm using. Also, if you are using Xposed then reflash the ROM & gapps too and do a clean install and don't install Xposed.

I have this happen too on Carbon, but only when auto rotation is enabled while watching YouTube streaming audio over Bluetooth.
When I disable auto rotation it stops doing it.
Your mileage may vary.
 
The only issue I've been having is with notifications. Sometimes they look normal and sometimes they look like the screenshot below. Also, heads up notifications sometimes have white text on a black background and sometimes have black text on a white background. It all seems pretty random.

How can I reproduce. I'll try to on candy5 or AOSPA

Honestly, I have no idea how to reproduce it. I just got done formatting data and then flashing PAC ROM. Maybe I'll try a clean install next time. When I say clean install I mean formatting system cache and data before flashing. I think the last time I installed carbon I just did a plain factory reset which leaves /sdcard/android untouched. Its possible that I still had some incompatible data laying around.
 
The only issue I had is now taken care of automatically by dropbox...
The sound issue is non existent ...I just leave it alone.. It sounds good unfiltered......
I believe I might be happy with it.....
IF I manage not to Jack it up or run for my recovery blanket..

maybe someone could see if they can have the lock screen change wallpaper

Go into themes and select android system default for wallpapers and lock wallpapers. Then whatever wallpaper you choose after that will be applied to the lock screen and home screens. If you want to use a different lock wallpaper than what shows on the home screen then you have to use a wallpaper that is built into a theme as your lock screen wallpaper.

Yes I was hoping we could change the wallpaper in the lock screen its self, so there would be different wallpaper
 
a friend of mine got this message a couple of times, she is running Carbon and has a Metro PCS phone. I thought I would let the Dev. know

Thanks, that fixed it.
 
I need a little help, I am on the carbon ROM, I am trying to get link2sd working right but it gives a operation not supported on transport endpoint, that is while have the 2nd partition as a ext2, it worked fine when 2nd partition was fat32 but wanted to be able to move data as well. I used aparted to make the 2nd partition and had to return to metropcs stock ROM to get it to format in ext2. Is there a work around or a fix to get the mount script going proper. I did flash the switcher zip to get system rw

The 2nd partition needs to be ext4
 
I am running Carbon and every now and than a call will come in but the phone won't turn on. It will ring and the screen stays black.
 
I understand... I think I got link2sd to work once....
And then some how boogered it up......
One of the biggest reasons I love this phone is because of the internal available space....
