Transparent status bar

Hi guys, does anybody knows if there is a transparent status bar mod that works on this rom. I tried the one for cm7 2.3.3 and 2.3.7 but none of the worked.

Thanks is advance.

Stuck on Lense Lockscreen...?

So.. this morning I switched from the Sliding Unlock Screen to the Lense and now I'm stuck on the Lense screen. I can receive calls but I can't access the phone. I can slide down the box it just bounces backup... doesn't show me my Pattern Lock screen... any fix for this? Has anyone else experienced this?

I rebooted, wiped cache, and am still stuck on the lockscreen.

Thanks in advncae for any help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
Drag it to the top.
[Motorola Photon 4G] geova87:
Huh? Not working. I read somewhere around that I should Clear CMSettings data through ADB... How do I do this? I know how to install apks and basic stuff but don't know how to this.

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
I had to say adios to this ROM for now. :(

The Roaming thing is a total PITA, again this weekend the Roaming was dead in the water. The only way to fix is to re-flash a backup of stock and change in Stock from Home Only back to Automatic.

Even if you go into the Data Roaming options it will insta-kill the signal/ Then you have to repeat the process of reflashing stock, setting to automatic again, to get it back working...

if it was just Data Roaming and calls worked I could live with it, but alas it kills all service..

This was one of those times where I wish I knew more about coding/etc and I would attempt a fix, but alas its beyond me..

Heres hoping the ICS is inbound soon.. as Stock is really lame (even when patched up with ADW/EX.. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] geova87:
So, how do we set up Visual Voicemail on this rom? I've tried installing the APK and all but can't access... keep getting some text messages. Just read someone was having same issues...
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
I've had trouble making bluetooth work properly in my car.. I haven't tested the media aspect, but during a car my dash registers that I'm in call but no sound is heard. Any ideas? Oh I'm on an Electrify as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
I've had no trouble with roaming. I just made sure to check the box that says international roaming. Haven't occurred any extra bill and roaming works great. Data and voice
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gack69:
Never got it to work either...

What I ended up doing is just getting "YouMail" from the Market. Works great. I used it on my Palm Pre previously.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Where was that option? You're on USCC?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
On the Electrify if you do that, it kills the signal in a roaming area.. Tried it twice this weekend.. As soon as you go onto that page (dont even have to click on anything) it forces the phone into Home Only and no more roaming ... until you reset it with a stock rom again. I tested this by being in a roaming area while flashing it

This because the ROM has no means to change it back to Automatic.. the option is there, but it does nothing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xecuter2:
Totally agree with the roaming, I have had to flash back and do that when the rom first got released and have since avoided that area. Roam control also does absolutely nothing for me no matter what options I use. It is a shame because for me, I REALLY want to force roaming at times and with the stock rom or CM, I am stuck pretty much either way. As I see it I might as well keep CM and just not go into the roam data menu :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Sorry I'm on sprint
[Motorola Photon 4G] MrGreg:
I'd like to help, can you tell me a little bit more? What version of Roam Control are you using? Can you tell me the contents of the log file in the about tab?

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xecuter2:
The lastest version - 1.7.0, the log file shows RC 1.7.0 / 0103 / RC complete. I have Motorola selected and auto on the htc slection. I also have tried rebooting after with no luck ( i usually have it just close the app).

EDIT: Just looked and saw the new version upgrader, installed and checked and it does the same thing - log is showing RC 2.0.0.g1 / 1103 / RC complete

Thanks!!

Someone has noted bad battery life with CM7? using jockers 1.3 uv -100 cant get the same battery time like i was in skinny roms... or Android is this like that eating battery? (Long time Nokia fan, last smartphone N900)
[Motorola Photon 4G] lioncat55:
okay so the one thing i see that i like from this rom is being able to use At&ts network is there any way to get this with the stock rom? i have hspa+ where i live and would like to use it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
At&t networks in Canada, and other countries, not the US.

Update

Been a while since I posted and just wanted to say that I've been using this as my daily driver for quite a while (a couple months?) now. Its really worked great. I've tested all sorts of software on it, installed CM7 themes left & right, used just about every launcher app with an English localization and it works terrifically. Battery life has been stellar.... until.... I installed Google Current, their new "Flipboard" / "Pulse" type news aggregater. Even though I uninstalled it, that little sucker has caused me to suck down batteries very visibly in hours. I used to be able to run for 10 - 15 hours (depending on use) with no problem. Now I'm getting 3 - 4 max. GRRR. I know its nothing to do with ROM. Wish I had made a nandroid before installing that, but I've never had a simple app f-up the works so badly.

Any suggestions other than bend over, take it like a man, and re-install?

Also, wondering how things are coming with the CM7 official repository submission? Or are they just too busy kicking at CM9 now?

I wish Koush would update ROM Manager to support the Photon, but without a solidly built replacement bootloader, I can understand being skittish about it.

Enough random rant. Thanks again Cybik. Your work has been the sunshine of my phone life with the Photon... which will be my baby until if/when Sprint gets the Galaxy Nexus... or as Sprint is likely to call it the "Sprint Samsung Google Epic Galaxy Nexus S2 Touch 4G Shift LTE" (lol)
[Motorola Photon 4G] maguitodelrock:
10-15 hours was normal? xD now understanding everything,,,
[Motorola Photon 4G] noefects:
im going on 20 hours moderate use, and a sh*t load of downloads over wifi (cant beat 10 cent app days) 20 mins of talk time and im hanging at 41 percent running the 1.3 as well. my only complaint is the wifi, it never reconnects when i leave range i have to reboot, or turn it of for a few mins
[Motorola Photon 4G] SNAAAAKEE:
I think that one of the reason that some of the users are reporting better battery life then what some of us are able to get is that they are on gsm. IIRC gms has less of a drain on the battery then cdma.EDIT quoted the wrong person.

I really need to tackle the radio modesetting thing. Wanna know the worst part? I actually know what to send to the radio. I just don't know how and haven't had the time to actually tackle it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
is this what contributes to the roaming issue ppl are reporting ?

(just wondering what the radio modsetting is)

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Pretty much.

In the stock rom, there's four modes: Home CDMA network; Any CDMA Network; 2G/UMTS Only; Global Mode, *****es. The "Any CDMA Network" is like "Home + Roaming", and sets one mode and a sub-mode, which isn't covered by the info screen.

I haven't had time to implement it, and it's probably very simple, but I had other stuff on my plate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Just wanted to say thanks for your work and that further work is greatly appreciated. I've had some bluetooth issues (Electrify), but overall very stable. The roaming thing notwithstanding, of course. I'll gladly donate to you or the cause listed on the first page.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
donations are welcome, though protecting boobs is also appreciated. I might not be able to enjoy the pleasures of boobs right now (being single atm), but that doesn't make me not wish that other people (men and women) can enjoy healthy bosoms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Scotsman828:
Did you dump all the Blur and Motorola Cloud junk from your ROM? I hate Blur and don't want all my emails and mms going to the MoPho Cloud. I prefer to use Google. There were also data collection and ad services running on the stock ROMs. Is all that crap gone also? Just wanted to know before DLing, I already miss CM7 that is on my HTC Desire.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
Moto Blur wouldn't be in a CM7 rom, that's what AOSP roms are all about, stock google only
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
That stuff isn't even on skinny what makes you think cm7 would have any of it, lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
Thanks for the explanation. I'm not in need of these changes lol. I'm on sprint and this sucker is running really well for me. Thanks for your efforts. Very much appreciated :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Um. Dude. This ROM is pure CM7 aside from binary blobs that CM7 needs to talk to the hardware.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:
I can't find the System Update in this ROM. I wanted to install the latest PRL file but there is no Update Profile or PRL on the About screen or in Settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
FYI: I don't have that feature and don't feel like I'd be able to implement it.

tl;dr: flash the original rom to rePRL it. I'm using UMTS only, so I blame CDMA :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
That would be awesome when you find time.. Then I could use it again.. I miss it I do... Stock is so blerrrrgh!!! :D

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

*228 worked just fine on the Electrify to update the PRL???

is that not the same on Sprint?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Went to phone activation but failed...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
CM will say failed after the message is done. It should still update the PRL tho - This has been the case since CM6 on multiple devices.

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
there is only 1 phone on sprint that can update profile/prl on cyanogenmod, thats teh nexus s 4g

besides that you have ALWAYS needed to use a sense/tw/stock rom to prl update
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
You can also flash a PRL file with QPST, however you need to get that PRL file in the first place.. :/

Really did not know about that on Sprint.. that sux.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wintrxtrem:
PRL 11115 is best anyway. Flash that in stock ROM and you're good to go for 3G roaming (Sprint).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Scotsman828:
Thanks, just wanted to make sure all the Moto cloud crap was gone. Motorola keeps trying to force feed me the newest update. Luckily haven't been near WiFi when it tries to download itself.

I have an Electrify on USCC, I'll help ya dev this by reporting any found bugs.:cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Theres ways round it nagging you..

Use Titanium or something to freeze update 2.3.4 process..

Problem solved.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:
*228 is not valid on Sprint.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Scotsman828:
Gave the Nov. 20 ROM a try, no go, getting infanent boot loop. Cleared data and dalvek caches before and after flash and battery pull. Nothing helped. If I do get it to work I'll report back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
It should flash just fine on the Electrify.. I have flashed that very ROM several times on mine (as have many others.)

As Cybik stated earlier the thing thats broken on it (more so for USCC users and tested by me and several others) is Roaming..

For me due to where I live it makes it kinda unusable. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Scotsman828:
Can you tell how you got it to boot?
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Go to mounts and storage, format boot, data, cache and system, then advanced, wipe dalvik, install rom, install gapps, reboot system now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Scotsman828:
Yeehaw! Got it working. Working great. Only noticed a few glitches so far. First one I noticed is my network notifier says Sprint instead of US Cellular. Not a big deal though. The HDMI mirroring doesn't go fullscreen, it's. At the same resolution of my phone's screen. Something that I'm sure will be native on and working correctly on CM9.

Thanks for all your hard work cybik! It's awesome to have CM7 again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
This rom is awesome, I've been running it for over 2 days with nary a problem, or if there were any, they were so minimal I have not even noticed.

This really should be considered a beta at least, way too stable for it to be an Alpha.

Thanks Cybik!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Not. In. Mainline.

All I'm sayin'.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Cybik, please, could you build cm7 with commits on your git, after 20th November? If it's worth it, of course. Just asking. You know it better. :-)

Edit: After reading some of your posts, I was afraid to ask. But I encouraged myself, hoping, you're not going send me to hell. :-)

And I must say, I am donating boobies enough.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Damanis1:
I've been using this Rom for almost a month now with almost no problems only thing i'm having problems with is my internet will stop working all calls and txt keep working but the internet stops and quick reboot fixes it for a day or 2 tho so no big deal, just put jokers 1.3 kernel on it the other day and is working great with that also.

I love this rom, but I seem to be getting weaker 3G signal than I did when I was on stock, is it an issue with anyone else?

I did several speed tests on both. I have also removed the Sprint proxies on init.d as well as tried all the V6 3G Supercharger options, and with or without these I don't seem to get a substantial increase.

Not really complaining, just wondering if it's occurred to anyone else or perhaps I am missing something.

If the towers nearby suck no amount of tweaks will help much
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
Yeah, I know my towers aren't the best, but the thing is, I just switched from the EVO 4G a few days ago, and I was getting 600 kb - 900 kb download which isn't too bad, but now I find myself getting anywhere between 60 kb to 400 kb.

Same areas, same towers, same prl.

From what I read, I thought the Photon had equal to or better than radios compared to other devices.

Maybe tower issues that just started. I get much better speeds than my evo.

I'm having some trouble with Google voice integration with sprint, and every time I receive a SMS it shows up as a new text message, but it displays as the very first SMS I recieced on the new rom I have to log onto my laptop in order to actually see real text message. I can send SMS fine but the replies come up as that very first text message its incredibly irritating I appreciate all the work but Google voice is my number one use on my phone. Aside from that this rom is wonderful!! Looks like ill have to go back to skinny for the time being...
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
And thats why I only linked my sprint # with Google voice for 10 minutes. It was nothing but problems. I'd suggest you go to Google.com/voice and take integration off it sucks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
does MMS work ? I read what derps, it said MMS but the last build on the first page is Nov 18th is that also true ?

I'd rather have 2 separate numbers on 1 phone for obvious reasons lol. Plus I don't like using voice app for text messages...
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
don't know if this has been mentioned but has worked for Me on all of cm's roms. I'm coming from a htc hero... using stock Ron make a back up if voicemail with titanium back up then when on cm use titanium to restore app and data then open the voice mail app and click compose. compose the message to:

activate@vvm.sprint.com

let it record for around 12-16 seconds

you dont have to say a word JuSt let it record for 12-16 Secs then click send

it should send you a notification saying voicemail has been provisioned.

if coming from using you mail or google voice use the code *38 to disable call forwarding then do the steps I listed above this has worked everytime on every cm ROM I've ever used hope this helps
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I use my normal text messaging app for text messages..

Totally feel ya on the 2 numbers thing though..

Still integrated nicely for me :) YMMV
[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:
Does any one else have problems with random reboots....I noticed that when I use the phone to play some games or sometimes other apps the phone randomly freezes and then reboots but it doesn't reboot just once....but like 2 to 3 times before it starts to work again??

Everything else so far on the rom is great...

Now ive gotten use to it and just leave it integrated all the time. Havent had any issues with it on the CM7 build either, but yes its a pain in the butt when first understanding how sprint and google mix. some how i musta got the magic combo and im afraid to change it bc im sure sprint or google voice will mess something up, so im just leaving the fire alone lol

as far as MMS videos on this build... I just tested by sending myself a clip and yes it works great. Make sure you make the apn adjustments mentioned in the past pages if you are in US on Sprint.
