flash player is a little buggy. glitches out sometimes in a scrambled sort of way. doesn't work well on flash videos above 240p. that's when it especially glitches out.

video recording works well, however it takes an extremely long time to save videos after you press the stop button. sometimes it just freezes on save or the camera force closes.

what else doesn't work? no idea. you built it so nicely that there are few bugs and no big ones i can think of. i must say. thanks for a great build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Can anyone provide me with a stock firmware dump? I think I lost mine ages ago.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Here is the system extracted from the 198_7 SBF.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
wicked, thanks :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
I think in this android flashing frenzy were in.

1 reading is fundamental

2 I judge ROMS first and foremost on (w/unlocked bootloader) "is everything working"

and cybiks cm 7.2 base build has been my nandroid for a while now

I just like the CM goodness

even though PD teams add on build included hdmi w/ landscape and sound that works for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Cybik,

Thank you millions for the reload. I was real close on getting my environment up and running. The only thing I was lacking was some of the stock files that the script didn't extract from the stock ROM. I tried to compile and it turned out that I really need those files to complete the build.

With that being said, I have used this ROM since November. The only bug that I have found it sometimes low res videos will glitch out. They will appear like digitized colors with no discernible video.

I followed the resync that you made in January and it has been rock solid.

Pure cyanogenmod is my favorite. I like having the option to add my own tweaks if I want them, and starting from a pure basline is the best way to go IMO.

I believe that the code was rejected due to where you were trying to integrate it to. I believe that the -1 was due to it not being in its own device space.

I will finish up my enviornment and put it on the back burners now that you are back.

Thanks again for the info you sent over pm.
[Motorola Photon 4G] violinbf:
Cybik, good to have you back. Have you magically gotten the photon to work on AT&T? Does your phone work because you are on Telus? I thought that the radio was locked out of North American GSM carriers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
WARNING: I totally derped my earlier build and didn't include the wifi driver. I rebuilt one in emergency and as of 22:26 EST, Sunday April 22nd, it's still uploading.

Ayeh, sorry if I just killed your build node-ing. Worst case, you learned how to make all the things? Also, the Proprietary files have been merged in by koush. :D

Thanks for the kind words!

AT&T: Nope, sorry. It's GSM-unlocked for every GSM/HSPA carrier _but_ the USA ones. Sorry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
You probably know this but cm team has a dev relations contact to help with adding devices. Great to see you back developing for the photon.:)

From moto internal docs "Starting with BP release 01.09.00R, USA GSM/UMTS is disabled as per Sprint requirement."
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
You mean the email address jeagoss himself told me to send a mail to [which I did] after asking me (in a hangout) about the status of the build? ;)

Just sayin'.

Did I just hear a bomb droppin'?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Awesome, hope it gets merged soon.:D

BTW if you get the time to look into fixing wimax I noticed that there were a bunch of testing utilities and such in the leaked engineering SBF's(especially the 2.3.3 one) that might be useful(SBF's won't flash to retail device but can be extracted and packaged into an update.zip and work ok). Weird thing is that even for someone who has an actual engineering device wimax is still broken :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Flashed the 4/22 build over the 4/21 build wiping both cache. Ended in boot loop. Didn't try full wipe yet. Did a nandroid instead.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
You might have downloaded an incomplete file.

23rd's build boots well on mine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
ah spoke too soon, gsm bug is still there , as me and robinrisk mentioned with the stock sbfs

even tho i have signal, calling me will send the caller right to voicemail, mssgs dont go through, i think its only 100% on GSM only

dammit
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Which means the RIL is **** and the only mode working is W-CDMA. Weird.

Force "W-CDMA only" in the info settings (*#*#4636#*#* in the phone).

...though it could also have to do with the baseband. Which baseband do you have?
[Motorola Photon 4G] HooliganAMA:
Droid bionic supposedly has a semi functioning cm7 rom now. Maybe stuff from that could help?
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
baseband

N_01.28.07R

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

theres 'wcdma only' 'gsm' only, GSM only (prl)

what would be best to try?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
try the "WCDMA Only", since Fido and Rogers are the same.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
i only get signal when its 'GSM only'

how bout that

wcdma is dead
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Interesting thing. I'm in GSM only area, but I had no problems to connect to it in any mode (exept CDMA only). It worked in automatic mode too.

I noticed some day when the phone was in idle condition, it didn't want to up 3G network normally, I needed to retick "Allow gsm data" checkbox for that.

Other than this, wifi worked and upped normally always. So, I can say that GSM network mainly worked normally here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
When was the last time you've seen a qHD screenshot of a potentially CDMA device with a signal icon... taken in the USofA?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Does that mean what I think it means?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
check the first posts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
Um..well since those are screenshots from my sprint phone.. XD

Sent from my CM7 cdma working photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
eyup. He'z the tester =3
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
You would do this after i committed to building my own rom. After my roms complete i planned on helping with cm7
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I don't exactly dictate my dev speed or my spare time bro :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Wow that is pretty amazing. Still gonna wait before flashing this. Hopefully this means we are getting closer to having this phone officially supported by the cyanogen team. Great work to everybody who has helped with this project. Keep it up
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Take your time

Great stuff, amazing even. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:

[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Oops forgot to reinstall gapps. Working now. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
All is working except getting an ultra low voice when using Bluetooth voice commands..

Is there a fix ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
No idea, didn't test this.

For whatever reason, the kernel is currently overclocked and running at a peak frequency, 1450mhz. I'm rebuilding it RIGHT NOW. I'll post a new build as soon as I can. Big derp.

-> For some reason, un-overclocking doesn't stick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] epark1281:
Is this why my battery was draining like crazy?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Possibly.

flashed 4-23-2012 build. battery seems OK now (was dropping 10% every 30 minutes before, by just using gchat). Shall report in later. BTW my 2 year old loves canadians, caillou specifically...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Language & keyboard setting

From (Language & keyboard setting) menu:

If language set to any other language i get force close error :

"The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."

Is that normal?

Thank u very much...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Not a debug/support thread! And it works on my end.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
sorry :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
You should be! How dare you share your findings! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Well, it _is_ a bug report. I shouldn't have been too hard on him/her.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
The OC issue is now fixed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] epark1281:
Reporting in, seems as if the battery drain is much better, down about 4-5% every hour
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
Thanks for the fix. Could you check the link? The requested URL /CM7/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-sunfire-UNOFFICIAL-apr24th2012-signed.zip was not found on this server.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Done, thanks for the link heads-up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xecuter2:
Thanks Cybik! I went cm9 and back to my nandroid of the latest blind compile you did forever ago. Battery life has been great on the new release and this kernel seems to be snappier at 1ghz, it is instant. I have a question that isn't easy to fix I imagine but, I am on an Electrify and I am forced to flash the roam fix on this rom to be able to roam at all(home only otherwise). How hard would it be to get affiliated networks to force roaming as well? Missing that one feature but otherwise 100%!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dov717:
CYBIK! Welcome back!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Sorry bro, but I have no idea right now, and fixing that is sadly not something I can do easily. I live in the land of GSMAmerica (Canada) and I can't test any CDMA fixes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
I recommend contacting the dev of the roam control app for this feature. It's a difficult feature to make happen. Just be happy you have the roaming fix, thanks to me!! (:
[Motorola Photon 4G] xecuter2:
Much appreciated, I figure it would be a carrier code type thing but maybe not.. no rom on the Electrify can force roaming still to this day :/ It was worth a shot though!
[Motorola Photon 4G] epark1281:
Cybik, I don't know what kind of black magic that you used to make this build but battery life has been nothing short of unreal. You are unbelievable.thanks for this ROM, this will be my daily from now on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
if you can find the right ril that will make forced roaming then something could probably be done. the reason the photon can force roam is because our ril file on their phone somehow causes it to force roam in the automatic setting. however theirs on our phone only allows us to use home only and nothing else. it's quite interesting. maybe find that right ril file from another moto could work? ya never know. it was pure luck for them. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

i second that! the last build before he started up again, i could get up to 4 days on one charge! with texting and calling only! that's impressive compared to any other rom. but with the data on it does drain pretty fast. usually within 12 hours to 24. :(

[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Konami code, both of you picked it up. :P

Anyway, news coming up that some people might like.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
Cool!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xecuter2:
USB Mass storage was going crazy, disconnecting randomly when the drives were shared on the previous build but so far so good on the latest sync. Everything working great!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Congrats on your news :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Glad you are back Cybik, The Photon/Electrify always needs some lovin'.

However I fell out with mine and now have a Samsung Galaxy S2.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Closing this thread. And opening another.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:

Oh derp, hadn't closed. oops.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Has anyone tried jokers kernel with this to fix Wifi?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
My kernel is for blur roms only, but you might can pull the dhd.ko from my kernel zip and try it. It might not though because i had to build it for 2.3.4 kernels
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Data works for me, but can't make a call. Dialer fcs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Can't seem to get it to flash - select the zip and it jumps back to the main recovery screen almost immediately. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
from what I can tell, my build has wifi.

I'll need a logcat of standard stuff and the radio. "adb logcat -d > standard.txt" and "adb logcat -d -b radio > radiocat.txt" should do the trick.

md5 plz? (i'll put up the one for the CDMAbuild later this morning)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Yep, wifi worked for me.

Did you try re-downloading, and re-copying it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
7ad4f6f3ed125c98aaaa56c52fb2e4d8 update-cm-7.1.0-Sunfire-KANG-nov4th.zip

Tried redownloading 3 times now, as wells as recopying while in recovery.

Tell it which zip to install and it says "finding update package"(i think, it happens fast) and jumps back to the main screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Well, I can confirm that the hash is correct. I flashed it from the internal SD card but I don't know if that makes a difference, you could also try re-flashing recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
7ad4f6f3ed125c98aaaa56c52fb2e4d8 update-cm-7.1.0-Sunfire-KANG-nov4th.zip

7ad4f6f3ed125c98aaaa56c52fb2e4d8 update-cm-7.1.0-Sunfire-KANG-nov4th.zip.1 <- i redownloaded it

Are you using the latest CWM-based recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Just actually got it to flash, it appeared that /data wasn't unmounting after I wiped?

I dunno...weird. Either way:

CDMA Data works - seems a bit on the slow site - but does work

Dialer initially force closes, but after that you can go in - dial a number, make a call. It does seem to force close again when the proximity sensor turns the screen back on. eg, pulling it away from your head.

Roaming indicator is jacked up

But I think these things were known.

YAY FOR CM7!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
CDMA Data is PURE CDMA ONLY, not WiMax/4g. I probably won't have enough f$cks to give to actually make that work in any immediate or close timeframe.

Also, initially FCs? that seems like something I could probably fix.

Seems like I'll keep the little bugger a bit longer than I thought... And THEN cave in to the SGN.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Ill get you a log cat on next reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:
yea was wondering if there was a download link for the gapps??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
I just used this one http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Don't forget to flash http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip after the normal gapps flash if you want to INYOFACE iPwned users. This is a neutral Neon/Tegra Video talk.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Do you still need a logcat?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Yes, I still need the cat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
I'm re-flashing right now, ill have it in a few minutes.

Can't wait to see the phone working.. This is amazing! Great work devs! A round of Cokes coming..
[Motorola Photon 4G] wintrxtrem:
ROM runs pretty well aside from phone, which is kind of critical for some lol.

Camera button opens camera app but [button] doesn't want to snap shots unless I switch to front camera mode.

Skype and gtalk video seem to work well.

Phone tries to boot up if I plug in AC cord while powered off.

Sound works well.

Wifi still falls asleep sometimes even when set not to.

Opening kickstand turns on Clock app, which is kind of annoying.

Some apps like plex work better then on moto ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Thus my prealpha :P

Phone works well for me but i'm a canuck and use gsm/umts only.

I've isolated one or two ways to fix the camera, too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
I will just leave this here...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
oO

I call "unholy".
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I'm in Canada. I can't test CDMA+Phone components efficiently :P

I just solved that

:D

Yeah. That WTFs me up. I'll ask the olympus team.

You're pretty thorough on your report :P

That's WTFing me up too. But I'll blame it on the actual driver throwing a tantrum

That's actually by design.

D'uh. Ninjablur is that hard on the phone, so what did you expect besides awesome performance?
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
Is there any way to put a signature at the end of texts with the default messaging app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
a quick glance doesn't reveal any "signature". Closest would be a "template" SMS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
Ya I looked at that and it isn't really what I want. O well. Still loving the rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
does it on stock, at least for usb charging
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
it actually loads CM and the low-power-mode at the same time. it's really weird.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
So I reverted back to a motorola rom yesterday because i was unable to answer phone calls in cm because it would force close. This happened after 2 fresh installs so i assumed it was the latest build.

Just now i decided to look into the Droid 3 CM7 phone.apk (since the devices aren't too far off of eachother), which i guess is different than the one in this build, or so win7's zip manager shows. [phone.apk in this build is 2,214KB and the Droid 3 version was 2,215KB] very small diff but seems to have helped me a bit.

I used 7-zip to delete the old and replace it with the new. I got one force close on intial boot of the ROM and nothing since (granted it has only been 25 mins, but i've tested with a few calls)

Also, some people were saying they could not dial extensions? Is that the same as when i call, lets say, comcast and they ask "press 1 for this, 2 for that, etcetc" ?? I managed to do that as well without FCs :) and no FCs from proximity sensor during a call either

I hope it helps, but maybe if someone wants to look at the apk, i am attaching it. If anyone wants to replace it into the rom.zip, just delete the "D3" portion of the file name.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I actually had put the extensionfsck in the announce. I also put "might have been fixed". so D3 might have nothing to do with that.

I'm also currently in the process of testing my lastestest build synchroneously with a CDMA user. will post results a bit later.

ed:

latest news: phone still crashes on my latest. I'll investigate on my side.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
I didn't see HDMI mirroring listed under "Things not working", but it's also not under "Things working." I'm curious - what's the status on this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
status: it currently sucks balls.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Lol. I just laughed really hard at that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
he wanted a status! i gave him the best and honestest status i could give! :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
Sorry - I didn't mean to put that in a demanding way or anything - it's just one of the features I use most :P

So I'm guessing from that, that it works, but not very well. Fair enough. Or maybe I'm interpreting too much, and it is quite literally sucking balls? Apparently battery life also currently sucks something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I go for maximum sarcasm and lulz in my replies normally. Didn't take it to heart, don't worry :)

Actually, it works, but if you put it sideways, it doesn't sideways the image. There might be an easy fix, but i don't give a **** about mirroring right now, I want to stabilize the ROM for nightlies integration into CM7.

actually... charge your battery to full, then wipe batt stats. you're in for a hell of a surprise.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
No need to charge to full while phone is off? I remember needing to do that on other phones. Just fill er up n power off to go to recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
using a 100% battery, right now... 1h46min, 5% used.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
I believe u batt life is wicked bro. I just remember on other phones it was necessaryto charge it full while the phone is completely off, then go straight to recovery n wipe. But I'm assuming that is not needed as u have achieved greatness while eliminating a step I don't like doing and could make me miss calls ;) thx
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Actually I didn't touch anything. Near everything in my build is either pure CM or Motorola's own sources with minimal modifications. :)

Also: new build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Thanks, can confirm, phone works now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Didn't need to do that. I integrated the fix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] htcSlide:
Will webtop/ubuntop hack work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] htcSlide:
If it hasn't been tested, I'll take a look tonight between games..
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
IIRC I actually deactivated it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
O M F G! I haven't seen 3g speeds like this in over 6 months! I woke up today without power in my house (so much for wiping battstats) and ran a speed test for ****sngiggles and I'm pulling 1.4Mbps! Either ur a magician OP or sprint stopped being crap in my area.

Now all I need is power on my block so I can watch my fantasy players whoop some ars.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
probably the latter. :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
Can I just flashed the new build without wiping?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Great work on this. Been beating the hell out it for about two hours now. Battery is great. Speed is great. Forgot how lean and mean asop is after running that blur/sprint bloat.

I get occasional fc on phone at boot but it still works. Calls and data on 3g all good. Camera is a little laggy but all works, front, back, video and stills.

Just AWESOME! Thanks for your work on this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Hey cybik great work on the rom man! One of the few goofy devs I respect. You do **** becuz its cake mode for you if youre not feeling lazy ;)... I am having a slight issue here though with int.d folder. Seems every time I add something to it like zepps supercharger or loopy smoothness script, it stalls at the boot screen and never boots....so my guess is int isnt properly supported?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Always wipe your cache and dalv cache before flashing a new rom /theme/kernel/fixes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
it's cake mode because the fixes are actually easy. And it gives me a feel of CM. Not a true feel of CM Dev'ing, mind you, but still.

int.d? ebbeh? what's that?

need I remind you my rom is a pure CM and not some 2ndInit weirdness?

if you're on a ninjablur rom, the answer is no.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
So yes, since I'm on ur nov4th cm build
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
pretty much.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
well, i'm very glad that me snooping around the droid 3 forum actually helped... finally, 5 years of my addiction has helped fixed a Force Close lol
