candy ROM group messages
Aoooo maybe im of the retard but i came from the Galaxy mega to this. At firat with stock KK i had group messaging. Being able to send one mesaage to a group of friends and theyd all see and respond like normal. I cant do that now with this candy rom. Not from Hangots or Messaging app.
Any help? I dont see the option either...

Is there a way to increase font size for Sony Z Ultra GPE on CandyKat?
Hi.
First, I want to thank you for all your hard work on this ROM. I like it a lot. Now let us get ti business. I wonder if there is a way to increase overall font size for this ROM on Sony Z Ultra GPE. I want to Settings - Displays, but the Font options are gone. I went to themes, no options to cchange font size either. I flashed new fonts from the sweetener, but those fonts are still too small for my eyes.
I am looking forward to read yor reply.
Best regards

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but SlimKat has no theme changer for now
You can try using the theme control of your nova launcher instead.
I would love to see 2 new features so the SlimKat would be perfect ;D I've seen some nice features in other roms: data counter on notification bar like in LewaOS and also in "last lunched apps" app was button "kill all" also it showed how much RAM left and you can pin the apps that you don't want to kill by tap&hold on them. I would love if you could add feature of data counter especially. (don't forget that not all plans start at first day of the month so set starting day feature would be also nice)
nice...........................

Camera
Hi I own a Xperia Z2 and I'm interested in installing this custom ROM. However I am interested in the camera app with which this ROM comes with. As on the stock Sony ROM the camera app would 'overheat' after recording 4k video for 10 min. I would like to know what kind of app/software you use on this ROM to record videos and if the same 'popup' would appear after 10 min of 4k recording.
Thanks in advance
There is no 4k or Sony camera in ANY aosp/cm etc (aka non stock) rom unfortunately

You actually should be able to post in the real Nightly Thread now, I just deactivated the Q&A Thingy. To your problems:
The CPU thingy is like this. This is also how it is clocked on the stock Rom. You couls install a Custom Kernel to OC it to 2.5 (Actually 2.45 GHz) If you want so.
Regarding the Music App: Just install any App you like from the Playstore.
Regarding the Gov and Shedulers: Find it out on your own and what fits your needs best.
Regarding the Launcher: Not with the Standard launcher but you could always install a different one from the playstore.

BUG FOUND
rom installed : CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141020-0238-sirius.zip with pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip via CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1.
When I connect the charger while the device is turned off , it is booting the phone / system. You can't have the device turned off and charge your phone.
Another strange thing is that on Statusbar there is no indication on the battery icon that a charger is connected.
Still the best behavior in general use from a custom rom I had till now.

Don't really know about the charger thing. If I remember correctly this also happens on CM.
Regarding the charging animation: you can change the battery icons color when you charge the phone. Battery Circle animations are rotating when charging. Check Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar for more.

request for the future + notices in behavior
1)I wanted to use an mp3 as a ring tone and there is no way to do it without installing Rings Extended or similar ringtone picker from the market. It is sad to see that basic things are not included in a custom ROM that is supposed to be one of the most customisable ones. It is not so important but I would like to see a better ringtone picker in the future.
2)Also I don't understand why there is no app for music. Of course I can download from playstore or other sources from the internet but usually a ROM should have a default player.
I am using this ROM for 3-4 days now , it is far better than others. Actually my personal opinion is that it replace easily the official ROM.
3)I've noticed that while my screen is locked (black) , without hitting the power button , the screen lock appears for a second and after that the screen goes black again. I saw that 4-5 times this afternoon.
4) When I go to Settings -> Themes -> Wallpaper -> Carbon Wallpapers and try to apply a wallpaper , it applies it but not correctly. The image is shown on the desktop is less than half of the one shown in preview.
5) Using the app Messaging , when I write an sms with Greek characters , it gives me a 60 characters limit. I know this issue exists even in official Sony firmware. I also know that I could download GoSMS or similar app with local support , but I would like to know if there is a way to fix that with Messaging.
p.s
All of my comments are posted based on good will.
cheers !

I did that my friend "Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar" but this doesn't fix the isue. I will try to "play" with it by choosing different styles and colours but I already did that with no luck. Maybe it will work ...
thanks for the reply

1) place the MP3 in a folder called Rintones on the internal storage and select it with the default Settings. (stock Android bahaviour)
2) We decided not to include any as Apollo seemed to have random issues at the beginning of KK.
3) Check Carbon Fibers -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen Notifications and Active Display if you have Pocket mode activated.
4)The picture is to big You should be able to scroll if you have more than 1 Homescreen tho
5) Not that I know.
Regarding the PS: We always appreciate feedback and I never expected your posts not to be on based on a good will
bug ?

Pocket mode is not activated
as said about Carbon wallpapers , I don't know if it is cause the image is too big , because if I tap on the right button Set as Wallpaper fast before the image loads the big preview , it applies ok without problems but not all the times. there must be a bug there or something
and about the charging status , sometimes it works when you connect the charger, the icon on the status bar shows it is charging. sometimes not

Dark System UI
If you could create a version using a dark system UI that works with Thyrus's theme, that would be awesome!
Small bug in r10
The MCR Control app crashes/closes to home screen if orientation is changed from portrait to landscape and vice versa; 180°-rotation seems okay though. It worked fine in r9 and earlier versions. I'm on stock LRX22C.
Thank you for r10, the reboot option works flawlessly and I don't know how I could have survived without it so far. Why did you choose a shoe icon, btw?

Yeah, r10 exits on my N9 if I rotate it to landscape... A minor quirk, but other than that no problems.
The extended reboot options are a most welcome addition.
Incidentally, @GhostWr-High-ter, I think the 'shoe' icon is supposed to a be a 'boot'... as in re-boot.
Nice Modpack, Paul... Thanks.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Update for 5.1.X?
Paul has the nexus 9 right? Why has he not updated the moidpack for the latest releases on android? I really need the lock status bar to black functionality but the modpack only works for 5.0.1 at the moment.
And there's updates four the he us phones, so why not the tab?
Registered just to ask that question...

I asked him on twitter and he said he was, but that was the day after 5.1.1 was released. Haven't heard anything since.
I'm also hoping for an update for N9 5.1.x... these backwards soft buttons are driving me mad :-/

fantastic
Thanks for the ROM! Superior to current NuSenseSix LP ROM in a few important ways
* Stock Camera app video works - including slow motion and fast HD 60fps which I can't get from any other apps that I've been able to find
* Battery reported much closer to actual size in CPU-z - 2300mAh instead of 3000 or whatever, it was way off
* Icon scaling looks more reasonable on home screens
* no weird "android.settings has stopped" when clicking "..." for an account in system sync settings
None of the data solutions are working for me to get Verizon 4G up and running
I spent an additional 2 hours researching and applying attempted fixes
I love this ROM tho and will not quit until I have fixed the data issue.
how to fix ussd on rom project_dna
For some reason, Smart Dial doesn't work for me though. Also the ROM has this default Chinese search engine on the browser and a little apk search instead of the play store up in the right corner of the app drawer.
