[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cberbes:
Bare with me, I am used to rooted devices running CM. G1, MTS3G, G2, and now the MTS4G. So maybe some of these things are just sense issues or just normal...I don't know, but I don't like them.

Why doesn't the desktop picture move when sliding screens? I loved that feature because I leave my "center" screen free of icons, and I always know when I am at center because the pic is centered. With this, the pic is always centered and I never know which way to slide. Minor, but still a PIA.

In Contacts the only thing I have checked is Google Contacts, yet when I start to type a name to send a text, each conta7ct shows up 4 times. Again, minor but I don't like it.

Actually that's it. I guess I have to deal with some issues until we get Soff root, I'm just spoiled with CM7.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cberbes:
Also not liking the new style text messages, looks too "Iphone" if you ask me. I like the old standard thread design.

Dear lord someone needs to come out with a way to get s-off so I can run CM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KenBot_314:
There's an app for that!

LauncherPro is a great launcher/home screen replacement that you can use without rooting the phone. It will give you more customization options for a better home screen experience without needing to root.

Handcent SMS is an excellent replacement for SMS/MMS messaging. I like it a lot better than the Sense version!

I've been trying to get xfdesktop and xfce4-panel to work for the longest...

I've done everything correct. I added sfalv -i "xfdesktop"

and I put a # in front of sfalv -i "awn-autostart" and sfalv -i "webtop-wallpaper" and after I save and restart the phone and connect my phone to the laptop dock the bottom icons disappeared and xfdesktop didn't load..

Please help I really want this to work

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmstrollo:
Looking for any insight to using the SGS2 on TMo and getting anything better than EDGE speeds.

As I understand it (via wikipedia) TMo has these bands:

[TMobile USA] owns licenses to operate a 1900 MHz GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) PCS (Personal Communications Service) digital cellular network and a 1700 MHz/2100 MHz UMTS AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) digital cellular network that cover areas of the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It provides coverage in areas in which it does not own radio frequency spectrum licenses via roaming agreements with other operators of compatible networks.​

And then from Samsung's website:

Network

HSPA+ 21Mbps/ HSUPA 5.76Mbps

EDGE/ GPRS Class 12

Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900

Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100​

So, what gives? Seems like the 2100 UMTS service should match up between the two. Is this an issue because TMo is somehow blocking the use of the unbranded phone on their system? If so, and on a much more advanced level, I'd think there'd be a way to make TMo think I'm using the PoS smartphone they gave me to use on their system... or am I smokin' that crackberry?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illicit Hero:
Needs both 1700 and 2100 if I remember correctly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
One is up and the other is down so you need both 1700 and 2100 to use T-Mobile's data network. No version of the SGS2 any where in the world supports T-Mobile's AWS bands. T-Mobile's getting a dual-core version of the Infuse in September that supports their bands.

HERCULES..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmstrollo:
What's the chance of one of those "Hercules"...SGS2 by another name apparently...having an antenna board that will drop into another SGS2?

I see a lot of brilliant software hacks and tweaks around here. Don't see a lot in the hardware realm, tho (like a new antenna board, for instance.) Is this not the place for that or is that at a completely unrealistic level of development?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizx:
You'll need an antenna engineer with a test chamber to tune the antenna. A lot of factors play into more than just fitting into it. You might have to play with different patterns depending on how much different the overall phone mechanics and materials are from Hercules to the SGS2.

Why is my device running/booting slowly?

Your first boot will take an unimaginably long time. After that, your device will continue to run slowly until the application cache is built up. Don't worry, the speed will increase as you use the ROM!

The new Android Market doesn't work for me. Can I get the old one?

Yes! Check the attachments on this thread. Download and install "androidmarket.zip."

Why is my battery life bad?

Your battery life is often killed when flashing ROMs in CWM. For the best battery life, you must drain your device’s battery until it turns off. Plug the device into the AC adapter and let it charge till the image says 100% charged. Then turn it on and use the volume buttons to boot into CWM. Click Wipe Battery Stats under the advanced menu. Then you should charge to 100% and install the ROM. Battery life should be comparable to (if not better than) every other ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
And away we go.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
silly question but flashing method instructions...will they be included with this rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Yes! Since I don't have a Photon quite yet, I won't be able to test this out. But, I posted instructions. Hopefully they work. Let me know.

p-ROM is up and ready for download. Please BETA test at your own risk! Completely untested stuff here!
[Motorola Photon 4G] samcripp:
very ncie work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
Anyone flash this yet?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Looking for a first victim! :P Worst case scenario = sbf flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
Im not rooted or id be down :) im pretty familiar with sbf'in to save my phones life lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
Downloading....
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Make sure to give a nice and detailed report back. I won't have time to fix things for a while (four to five days), but I will definitely come back and mess with this p-ROM when I can.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
Stuck at the boot screen for 6 minutes and counting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Should be a long time, but 6 minutes sounds like a possible soft brick. Tell me if you don't get in within 4 more. Then I'll pull the download. Damn I need a test phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Did you install MR3 (flash the SBF) before installation?

Edit: If it never boots, try a battery pull and then try booting. If that doesn't work, then flash the SBF and tell me so I can pull the download.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
Yes

10char
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
If it never boots, try a battery pull and then try booting. If that doesn't work, then flash the SBF and tell me so I can pull the download.

Would there be any issue if I were to use CWM recovery to restore my back up that I just made before flashing the ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] aaron130:
I havent rooted yet or Id try it. Im just sooo lost. Ive had android for a while but never Motorola. Why is Motorola so different? It just seems so different then flashing on HTC.I havent even rooted yet cuz I thought I read that that root method wouldnt let us flash Roms it was just to be able to basically run rooted apps?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Not sure if nandroid works on this CWM bootstrap. It wouldn't hurt to try!

Your phone has a locked bootloader. Things are very similar across all Android phones, but you still need to follow the directions on the install page. SBF's are Motorola-only, that's why you've probably never heard of em. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Okay. 2nd build up. Hopefully it works fine now!
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
I notice that the 2nd build is smaller in size, is that correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Correct! I eliminated a couple of things.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
The installation was very fast this time(about 20seconds). Boot screen is moving so its a good sign.:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
And??? :P does she work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
Still no luck this time, stuck in the boot loop:(. Tried pulling the battery and still the same result.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Damn. At the airport so I can't work on it for a while. Sorry! Thanks for the testing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
Im done for the night, need to be at work in 3hrs. Thanks for the effort. I look forward to testing more after work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
I can confirm the boot loop on build 2.

Really looking forward to the stable ver!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
why no love for me or xda for that matter for providing the leak?
[Motorola Photon 4G] aaron130:
So if we get an unlocked bootloader it will be just like flashing the Evo? Or will we need to SBF every time? I think I'll dive into rooting the monster this weekend. I've got the dock just a matter of doing it now,lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Sorry Yay! It didn't cross my mind. You're right... you should be credited. My bad.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
You likely won't be receiving an unlocked bootloader. The good news is that you still have 2nd-init thanks to Edgan and eval-. That will prove handy for ROM creators.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
If anyone is willing to test out Build 3 and/or Build 3B, I would be very grateful! Build #3 has all the optimized applications. I'm wondering if it was the applications that caused the bootloops. If so, Build #3B should fix the problem.

If both result in bootloops, we know to look elsewhere! :rolleyes: The adventure continues. Thank you to my testers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
Downloading now
[Motorola Photon 4G] aaron130:
What exactly is that 2nd init? Im so confused coming from HTC devices this is all so different. If I root should I install that 2nd init next? Or what about yays leak? Im gonna root this weekend so I just wanna know what go do. If I just do the root will I be able to try this rom or flash rims or do I need yays leak and/or that 2nd init? Sorry for all the questions I thought I was a veteran but this Motorola stuff seems wayyy different, lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
laser 3 bootloops, although it did make it all the way to the motoblur login once lol

just sbf'd now gonna reroot and flash laser 3b

update:

DO NOT FLASH BUILD 3! It may hard brick. I'm running sbf again but it was still bootlooping after the first attempt.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Interesting that it would make it to the MotoBlur Login. Maybe 3B will work and then I can work from there. Thanks for the test, man!
[Motorola Photon 4G] urcboss07:
stuck at bootloader screen, removing battery now and see what's going on? I did flash 3B, it stuck the same thing, did not boot into motoblur screem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Did you try 3B?
[Motorola Photon 4G] urcboss07:
keep doing boot looping, what is the best way to get phone working again, I did backup my rooted rom, how do I go back to recovery mode if I cannot go into motoblur screen?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
No offense ken but i think you should pull the links and have someone that knows what their doing test your builds. This is gonna turn into the how do i fix my phone thread pretty quick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] urcboss07:
I am doing sbf right now and hoping it goes back to unrooted rom and have the phone working again. Luckily, we have sbf file provided by donniegood and Yay Juggs. Thank a lot guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
ken, something funky is going on with these builds. I had to fastboot -w after sbf to get my phone to boot...

I may try again doing the fastboot -w first. I'll keep you posted buddy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] b-reezy:
Ill PM you. I can help test this for you. And possibly help fix these issues.
[Motorola Photon 4G] urcboss07:
Ok, I finally got the phone working agian by flashing the new leaked sbf file. Nice try out anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Horace:
Agreed. Things like this are the reason the devices are locked. People are going to try to return their bricked phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
None taken. I've left the links up with a warning. Not sure what's going wrong here. I will be getting a phone to test with fairly soon. Sorry guys!

I won't be able to work on this until the 9th. I'm out of town. :( If anyone else can figure out the problem... I'm sure it's small. We should try data wipe and then just move on to trying it without small pieces. Good luck guys!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
At least no phones will be bricked by this P-ROM. Simply flash the SBF to restore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
And kenny has struck gold first
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
It hasnt booted yet...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
Awe well im sending him one so don't worry
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I'm going to try my hands at making a rom for the phone. Only problem is I'm not rooted so if I have one before a non-webtop method flash at your own risk
[Motorola Photon 4G] b-reezy:
I'm in the middle of making one myself also.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
I noticed the build.prop is completely different than stock (not even the same layout). Maybe that's causing boot loop?

Gonna install 2nd init so I can just restore nandroid instead of running sbf, then I might give this another try and pull some logs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
Yea, the build.prop is probably the issue. Someone should drop a stock one in and see if it boots. I looked through the rom and i see no other reason this shouldnt boot.

**Its not the build.prop either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
Ken, any progress with this? Let me know if you need someone to test.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fixxxer2008:
Lol you left the ns4g already?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
Nope. Still have it. Your a little lost though arent you?
[Motorola Photon 4G] fixxxer2008:

[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Alright, folks. Thanks to Sprint and Korey for the demo unit. I got a working version out. Go ahead and give her a try!

Build #4 = Version #1 of the Laser ROM.

Good luck. Have fun.

Apps are deodexed, framework isnt?
[Motorola Photon 4G] joetemp75:
data is borked on this rom also, no 3g
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
That's a good point. I thought I'd keep things small and only replace the key framework apk's. Totally forgot about that. I'm on it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Hmm... don't know why that would be. You might need to WIPE data in CWM bootstrap. Good luck.

My data works fine. :cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
Whoo-hoo! Now we got the ball rolling
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
v1.1 coming soon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
You need to SBF flash to the latest build before flashing this P-ROM. Do not flash over another ROM/P-ROM. That is the cause of your problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] joetemp75:
I did 3x data cache and dalvik. I dont know whats going on but I need to figure it out

I apologize in advance becuse I know this is the wrong section/thread to be posting in, but I was reading through this thread and seems like alot of helpful folks in here, plus the "general" section is a big cluster f$%^ lol! so here goes :)

My upgrade is due, and I really like this phone over the Evo3d based on the kickstand, screen, processor (I have a gtablet with the same processor and it rules!) 8mp camera, hdmi out, and the feel of the phone in my hand.

But I am worried about the locked bootloader. I see that this phone is rootable now and roms are staring to come out. So my question is really this...

With a locked bootloader can devolopers make full on custom roms? Or are they limited to just minor tweaks of the stock motorola UI? Also will custom kernels with OC ability be a possiblity with a locked bootloader?

Thanks is advance! and sorry again to hijack this thread
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I'd say do not worry about the locked bootloader it will be worked on later...
[Motorola Photon 4G] luigic81:
Thanks for your reply, may I ask what you mean by worked on later? Motorola is notorious for never unlocking these correct? I guess id just assume worst case scenario that it will never be unlocked, but wondering how much development can happen even with the locked bootloader?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I don't follow Motorola's track record(I was hardcore samsung) but I think the atrix is the only one unlocked and remember pre-root roms can be made.

Later on meaning we'll either wait for it to be unlocked or we'll get some wiz to unlock it somehow
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
no credit for the Gtalk?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
A locked bootloader wont stop developement it only slows the process.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
I take it this isnt a full rom due to having to flash over the latest build?...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
I think he got it from the atrix, but I'll ask him and get this fixed asap.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Well I flashed over the previous base. Works just fine and my apps didnt get erased or data......script error? I did notice the heap changed and the build number is labled photon laser 1.1 lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
That's the way it works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
So in order to flash this, since I'm on MR3, I have to flash CM5, lose root, re-apply root, then flash Laser ?

Coming from other phones, I would have thought once we get root, we can go straight to other rooted ROMs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Only stated because op said it erased everything. The script mentioned it was erasing etc etc...I dont remember it stating it was backing up apps etc.. and restoring thou..o well rom is working as intended. Thanks.
