[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
Ive been on here for 2 months and have done NOTHING in regards to developing...just make splash screens...and I have almost as many thanks...so that means nothing really!!

Out of all of the developers and TRUE testers, this ONE SINGLE person says that are unlocked with 4G working. Its physically impossible. We have ALL used the same process and ALL have the same result. The bootloader unlocking that we currently have for the PHOTON is a 100% guarantee that it will bork your 4G unless relocking then bootstrapping. Its just the way it is! PERIOD! CONVERSATION OVER!

With a ROM that obviously didnt get off the ground, I wouldnt post this as a *LOOK WHAT I DID*!

Because Im NOT a developer, I usually dont chime in...but if in fact you are for real, what is your setup? What ROM are you running? Kernel? HOW did you root? Unlock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Acutally the rom had over 1200 downloads, pretty good for a beginner I think.

But I am used the AIO root method, I used unlock bootloader by yay but I used the file from pudding because I didnt know what to do with the rar file and rsd lite. It took me every bit of 3 hours to get that part accomplished.lol... though prior to to getting it accomplished I did use bootstrap recovery to make a nandroid. Afterwords I install cwm by romracer. I did another nandroid and installed base rom1.3 and flashed the red theme on top.

I am not asking for anyone to believe me, I simply stated what I did and asked if anyone else experienced it. Maybe I did something that jacked up some more stuff, as my market is not working correctly something about compatibility. But I didnt take it to a dev as it was no substance behind what I did. If you want proof its working what proof would satisfy you because there is no easy answer to what I did. like I said it may be jacked at the moment. I only know that it was working when I picked my daughter up from the babysitter earlier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
I will also be asking a mod to close the thread to eliviate all the back and forth. Its not getting me or you anywhere. We arent getting anything out of this except a few chuckles. My sincere apology to those who feel I lied to them, my only concern was to see if anyone else had experienced what I did. Again sorry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AustinMartin:
ignore this. misread the comment
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
It's not even like that bro, I have no ill feelings towards you, all we were wanting is something to be concrete, a video is the only real way to get that. If you have a webcam I will gladly sit on a messenger program of your choice and watch the boot sequence, and 4g connect. Anything bud. I hope you are right man, I really do. I'm not mad at you, we just want something we can see. All of us are probably refreshing this development section every 10 seconds, why do you think your thread is so popular right now? I mean cmon bro, this is something we all want. If you do need any help testing your technique out I would actually do it, I jsut don't understand what you did different.

I am sitting at my house with 17mbps down 4g right now, so let me know!

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikel719:
I for one want a video. Do you know how much that would help the devs here? I haven't got to check my 4g status as I don't have it here but I am unlocked. I wish I had your opportunity to help out, I'd make the best if it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
I honestly dont know what I did differently from you or anyone else. Just those steps I listed, after reading how to get 4g back in the dev section do you think my steps are similar to those? I honestly cant tell you what I did but I can try to replicate it and see what I did. Is it possible to have a unlocked bootloader and not be rooted? I ask because some root apps are saying i am not rooted. Which is why i think i may have borked something in the process. I dont know. and I cant test 4g because my house doesnt get it but the babysitter does. Like I said i am not trying to get anyone hopes up, this was just my experience.
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
Take your battery out. Turn the phone on. If it says unlocked in the upper left hand corner you are unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
I know I am unlocked. because I have cwm recorvery and have base1.3 and red theme but for some reason it says i am not rooted....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Yes, you have to reroot after you unlock.

I have a deep voice so it didn't pick up the best, but I made a video awhile back, and it is quite simple as to how to get root quickly. check it out if you want

[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
I did reroot with the aio method afterwards... I am gonna get back to stock and start all over sometime over the weekend. Its late here in ga so I am heading to bed. feel free to contact me via email craigbailey198602@gmail.com as I will do my all in helping to figure out what i did or didnt do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I am going to give what you said a shot. I never use the image file to flash anything, all I use is pudding to unlock and mr5 to go to stock. So I dunno.

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Yea, I tried it several times now and I get nothing, 4G not working. I'm not sure what you did. Maybe post the exact files you used, along with what versions of RSD lite you used and anything else. got me.

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah, I don't know. Mine just scans, like everyone elses. Did he ACTUALLY get his RSD to flash? Cause I know most everyone else was having issues with it failing. Could that POSSIBLY be true? I have no idea. And I don't have 4G in my area, so it doesn't matter any two ways to me. Just a thought. Trying to get the idea ball rolling for you guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
ok i have to chime in and basically put an end to all of this...as one of the original devs working on this from day one i call bull****...especially after comparing 3 separate init.rc's (over 4000 lines of code on total). regardless if you used my method...pudding...or the original oem_unlock direct from motorola(which only a few key devs have in their possession) they all lack a major component in comparison to a stock, source, init.rc. therefore no matter the method 4g is not possible with current build of unlocker. however...i will be calling upon the other members of the primary unlock team and hopefully a new build can be made with missing component. until then...BULL****!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
Craig, I suggest you contact the developer directly instead of having to defend yourself to the immature boys here who find it "bothersome" that you post some findings. (though granted, this should probably not be in the development section).

This site has gotten very aggressive and negative.

Just send your notes to the dev directly and see if he can test the theory. It sounds interesting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Question could it be because my phone is not showing its rooted? I have no clue of what I did. But the bootloader is unlocked because I flashed base 1.3 rom with the red cwm recovery. When I was flashing with the rsd lite I had to pull the battery because it sat on the Motorola screen for about 10 mins. I typically don't ask for help until I exhausted all other options. So I just researched bricked photon and as I was researching the phone is came back up. 4g must automatically try to turn on because when it booted it was on at the top of the bar. I was at the baby sitter house who has 4g though I don't near my house. Which was why I asked when I got home what could have caused it. If I can help in anyway just hit my email up. I am still learning code but know a few devs who would help me out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
root has nothing to do with it. when flashing with the bootloader it fails to put much needed files back onto the device thus wiping out what is already there...easy analogy...say you have a snifter of hennessy...now dump that out and fill it with boones blackberry brandy...just isnt the same now is it...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
and just an fyi i don't live in a 4g area but when i flash using sbf after a full wipe the 4g radio is on...doesn't mean it's connected as it has nothing to connect to...but it's still on by default.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
But it had the bars. Though the signal was weak when I went into phone info it said the mac address as well. I never use 4g as I don't have it by my house. Does that sound like it was connected??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
no...mac address is given at radio launch...not at connection...ip is given at connection...having bars displayed is normal...you need to check for an ip and network info to verify connection.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Ok, I will check for that when we had to a 4g area. I am sorry to have caused such confusion. I meant no harm. I just saw it connected and figured maybe someone else had it happen to them as well.... Again my apologies:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
had you come to me first this would have been an easy road for you...a disappointing road but easy none the less
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
+1 ;) .
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
About time. The tits have spoken! Lol Jk

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
juggs has been very busy lately...currently working on fixing the homebase rom that sean put out while i wait to finish the unlocked bootloader
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Yea I know you're busy, I meant about time this was put to rest. I know you're hard at work, and it's nice to get confirmation that that is the case!
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
Ok craig ...a mac or even an ip adress is not a complete 4g connection ...i dount want to get in to the 7 layer ....but the 4g issue looks to be in valdation you will have a mac and maybe an ip but your still not on the network
[HTC ChaCha] ABR2704:
Rom available for download now. Enjoy and report any bugs back to 'chacha general threads'.

Thank you.

[HTC ChaCha] ABR2704:
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has problems with the ROM could they please list their issues here - so i can repair them, I currently have S-ON (end of this week will have S-OFF) and I do ROM tests on my friends HTC ChaCha (which is S-OFF), unfortunately I can not keep asking him for his handset.

So who's tried it and please provide some feedback - thanks.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
If I'll manage to get some time off tomorrow I'll do a backup of mine then install this one and test it as much as possible. Is that ok?
[HTC ChaCha] ABR2704:
Yes that will be brilliant - thank you

I have CBS news app working nicely on cm7 from sd. Can't get MSNBC app to work constantly force closes. The ABC app works but videos play for only a minute or two and then shuts down. I am a news junkie and love news videos. Anybody got those apps to work or can recommend another good news app with videos?

Is it suppose to auto switch to TV out mode when you plug the RCA cable in. I get audio but nothing on the screen. I've tried switching around all the plugs. I don't have a TV out option under setting/display
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] \/icious:
Ahhh damn just found the answer which is no. Just when I thought cm7 was perfect lol
[G Tablet General] lartomar2002:
I have Brilliant Corners 1.3.1 and I have been reading about Ad-Hoc Wifi. I will be in the mountains in OCT. and Nov. and I will be using a 3G dongle with my wife's laptop and instead of buying a Mifi could I just connect to the laptop using Ad-Hoc Wifi? Is Ad-Hoc supplement already with Brilliant Corners or do I need to install the wpa_adhoc-signed.zip or wpa_supplicant.7z? If I do, how do I do it? Do I flash it like I would a regular ROM? I don't think I should be wiping anything though, should I? Do I have to use ADB to do this because I do not feel comfortable with it? Could I use Terminal Emulator?
[G Tablet General] Peepachu:
Hi, you might want to look into:

http://www.connectify.me/

The full version of connectify might do the trick for you and it's priced at $19.99 now with a promo code.

Check the website.

I was just on vacation in Delaware recently and I used the free version on my wife's wired laptop and shared the internet connection with all the other laptops/tablets in the beach house.

Worked great!

The only drawback with the free version is that it will only work with a wired computer as the host. The paid version apparently lets you share a wireless signal ala' your wife's laptop with 3G dongle.

Good luck and have a great vacation!

Kmobs just tweeted that a alpha release would likely be out this weekend for the sensation and likely the evo 3d.

Sorry for mobile link.

[HTC EVO 3D] Malikione:
Hotness
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Hoaly shot yes.
[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
I just want to see what cm calls alpha lol everything working but one thing fromwha I heard
[HTC EVO 3D] gmfeny:
Now let's see how many ppl start a thread about this same exact thing lol
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
Haha. Was thinking the same thing.

GM did you get an infraction for all that stuff that went down in the aosp forums a few days ago? I dodged a bullet there.

Rootyourdroid.net. My nephews blog.
[HTC EVO 3D] LukeLeBron:
I'm pumped for it
[HTC EVO 3D] gmfeny:
Haha nah. I was expecting one tho. I don't like to argue with people on the internet but its hard not to get mad at these d!*# heads. Lol
[HTC EVO 3D] gmfeny:
I just want MIUI. Once we.get that alpha build of cm7 that should be good enough for a good version of MIUI for the 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] FaithCry:
Probably only going to be the cdma version?
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
I've been waiting for this news.

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Same, finally, some true AOSP goodness which should be lag free.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiz0r:
Well I've been waiting for cm to be released :)
[HTC EVO 3D] austendale9:
It said maybe for the e3 :p
[HTC EVO 3D] fisher1991:
Yeah watch it only come for sensation
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
I'm sorry but this is kinda messed up I think....if they had a lot of that sht ready already, they should've released it before the other AOSP rooms came out. This alpha better have Bluetooth and everything that ain't working in the builds we have now.

But for real, this doesn't apply to me...I'm probably the only one who doesn't like cyanogenmod (insert version number here)
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
Well, 3D should be working, at least. Toastcfh tweeted a while back that he had gotten it working. 4G should be working as well, as the code can't be all that different from the Evo 4G, and they had it working on there. No idea about bluetooth though.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
There are many mods in cm which may contribute to instability vs a true aosp rom. CM FTW.

tapa tapa tapa
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Cyanogenmod tends to hold themselves to higher standards. I would imagine that it should have audio working...though the camera sometimes takes longer...though perhaps they have both.

I can cope without the camera, but, no audio? No dice. Not worth releasing.

In fact the way that people are so rabid about CM7 I'm willing to bet that even if they put it in gigantic flashing red letters at the top of the screen that screamed "NO AUDIO" every time it blinked that most people would flash it blindly and then clog up the entire fncking internet asking why sound doesn't work and how to get it to work...

These guys know what they are doing and are no idiots. If they didn't release their AOSP while others did, well, I'm sure there are damn good reasons.

....Cyanogen himself 'gets it' so much that Samsung hired him.

"Under promise and over deliver" is the best philosophy. That also means not releasing every god damn thing that compiles and boots....nightlies excluded for obvious reasons, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
Ehhh...idk. I mean I agree but at the same time, I really hate to say this, but most people are sheep and everyone praises cm and in reality it's not that great. On the evo it was no faster than a sense rom. It was actually kinda worse so I don't see how its getting all this hype. I understand miui but not cm.

But I do get what your saying and not knocking it, it does make sense. They do want the best for people so that's why they wait, but in reality, their rom won't be any different the aosp ones we have now. Same speed and everything, so I don't see why they get all the praise and they are releasing it right after these devs fixed a lot of stuff...that's why I say they better have a lot more stuff than some damn theme manager or something. Camera better be working and everything. If not, well then...this is gonna be looking like apple v android.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I think I just shat bricks.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
CM is way more customizable then the standard AOSP ROM.

Sent from my PG86100
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Maybe this is one of those things that is on a "device by device basis", but, CM7 on my E4G kicked serious ass. Way smoother, way faster, way better battery life...even overclocked to 1136 the entire time...in the last 3 months I got it up to 420(?)min/1190max perf gov and my battery life was still fantastic and holy **** did that phone haul ass...

As always YMMV, especially so far as preference is concerned...
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
I know that but a lot of it's features...when compared to Sense aren't that great.

I feel like the outlier haha
[HTC EVO 3D] scyy:
Theres difference between maybe and most likely.
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
Ok now that I'm off that iPad and not at work...I can really say what I mean..

Ok, I understand that CM adds a lot of features and I understand how they work and I agree with it. I don't like ROMs that come out that aren't complete. Most of the time those ROMs get finished but when they don't, that sucks...so it's best not to just put it out there anyways. But this is where I'm going:

We already have an AOSP ROM that is pretty much in its alpha stage. Those dudes busted their ass with very little help from them and a day after they fix sound, the dudes from CM come out and say that they are about to release their ROM? After all that teasing they did? That's bull****. That's why I said they better have a lot in that alpha build. This just doesn't seem right to me and I seriously think I'm the only one who sees this nonsense because I don't think CM is any better than any other ROM and in reality it isn't.

CM is only as great as YOU guys make it. I know for a fact that on the Evo 4G, CM was running just as "smooth" as any other Sense ROM...which ain't that smooth. People would still get CM and throw ADW launcher on it and a lot of features it had, devs for Sense were adding the good ones. The stock battery life was actually worse and the 3G wasn't as good. I honestly think positive reports on that device were just placebo...just because it was "100% stock" people assumed it was better.

Now, on this device, I believe CM will be a lot better because this new Sense sucks a hard one. So anything that isn't Sense will be better. But that's what I fear because now CM is gonna get more credit and in reality the biggest thing they did was just remove Sense (after other devs did it, but since they are CM, they get the credit). And I think that's what's messing this site up.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Have you ever used cm7?

tapa tapa tapa
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Wtf are you talking about? Have you ever used cm7? All they did was remove sense!?

tapa tapa tapa
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
You don't think I've used CM7 before? All of its speed comes from the fact that Sense is gone. I do not believe that CM7 is all that great. It's just another AOSP rom and thats IT. All of those additional features...meh. CM spans a lot of devices so most of those features don't really apply to most phones and most of those features are just dumb. The fact that they let you enable them on the fly is nice, but other than that...I don't see why they are there. I can understand why CM was great a long time ago when people couldn't just get an AOSP ROM whenever they wanted one...but we have a lot of talented devs out now. CM just doesn't hold up in my opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Removing the Sense APK and adding in another launcher is one thing. Doing heavy work and modification to the OS is another thing.

If CM was just adding in a custom launcher then don't you think other devs would've put that on instead of ADW or similar? CM7 gets tied into and optimized for the system.

There are still plenty of glaring issues in AOSP Android, and I highly doubt CM would release a build, even alpha, without everything at least somewhat working.
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
Optimized? CM still has lag in some places...it's not that smooth. It only gets smoother as the hardware gets better, but if they actually went with optimization, CM would've been great even on devices like the Hero. Yet, it wasn't. It was still laggy and all other kinds of stuff. So the fact that they are beating out the lag isn't because of their work...it's the actual hardware in the phones.

CM isn't that great! It's greatness lies in the fact that they were able to bring AOSP to devices that probably never would've seen it....CM is basically just a universal stock AOSP ROM but with global features that may or may not be useful. If you use any other AOSP ROM then CM on the same device, performance will be exactly the same. So when CM comes out for this device, compare it with Hyperlite...I guarantee it'll be the same experience.
[HTC EVO 3D] JTNiggle:
How's that go...

You can't fix stupid! /\

Don't even bother trying. \/
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
OK we'll make an experiment out of it. I'll download CM7 alpha and Hyperlite 1.0 as they are when they're both available. I'll wipe my phone and install both and run Quadrant on each. I know benchmarks are pointless but we really don't have anything but benchmarks to quantify a phone's ability.

I say CM7 will have either a component working that is not working on Hyperlite or will have at least 200 points higher than Hyperlite on the Quadrant score.
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
Benchmarks mean nothing...good example of this: Snap's Turbo kernel for the Evo.

Just have to go based on real world usage.
