Did you have any luck with using the Electrify stuff to try and get Youtube working?

Do you want a dump on the Stock Electrify ROM or anything like that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
You sure cause with my girl photon she's stock never rooted it does exactly the same... And my epic does also..
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
...didn't know that! Does sprint suck that much? People managed to side-fix that bug by forcing a special config into some other SMS program.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Sprint SMS is inconsistent at times throughout the country for some.

There is a apn fix for stock messaging app in the thread a few pages back thanks to cythrawl

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19183797
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
there is a workaround (on the stock ROM) whereby you do ##DATA# (or something of the sort), enter your MSL, then go through the menus till you find 'multimedia'.. then change the proxy address to 0.0.0.0 and both port numbers to 0.. then reboot.. removes the requirement for streams to go through sprint's proxy.

Not sure if something similar would work or could be implemented, but something to look into I suppose.

EDIT: link to the only thread I could find (in the Epic 4G forum.. I also have one of those LOL) for reference .. found here

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
That is the stupidest, simplest, most... EFFICIENT fix I ever saw.

I'm dumb.

Thank you for this heads up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Do the data codes work with aosp? But I think you know that....

I have tried and the only one that works is *#*#4636#*#* and that takes you to a few settings that can be changed.

Guess you have to go back to stock and then the question is will the settings stick?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
actually, no. I put the 0.0.0.0 stuff in the build.prop

Guess what? IT WORKED.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Do share....
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
can't. fix would be ugly as hell.

I'll try and move my ass and do something in the Settings for this some time in the close future.
[Motorola Photon 4G] omariscal1019:
hey can i flash cm7 on an unlocked photon??? thanks!!! (have it unlocked for metro pcs... no internet yet... dats why i wanted to knoe if i can use it for cdma internet)
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
AMAZING WORK!

I grew the balls to unlock and now have CM goodness back! missed it from my EVO days and this MOPHO hauls! i thought stock was smooth and fast, but now... holy crap!

got my fingers crossed that Team CM gives it the OK for them to support bc this thing just turned amazing!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Works for sprint.. Buy it soups if you know your apn settings
[Motorola Photon 4G] omariscal1019:
i dont knoe it dats the problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Wow Swype really made me sounds like a dummy smh ... New Swype beta update sucks
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
Android Market crashes like crazy with the newest build. Just about anything will make it crash. "My Apps", search, download... crash!

Anyone else experience this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
I have.. I just reflashed.. I got the problem when I installed the latest market 3.3.12
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
Reflash to cybik's previous build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
Also, the keyboard is messed up. It used to be that I could get number 7 by holding down the "u" key. I only get 1,2,4,5 at q,w,r,t now. All other digits are not accessible.

Can anyone verify?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Trying to download the latest build now. All it does is stop at 70% lol....unsuccesful
[Motorola Photon 4G] the12nv:
I am still at stock rooted..i can try this today. I wanted to flash yesterday but it took hours to get my sdk adb to work and find a working rsdlite....thanks bear...ill let you know if it sticks
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
That's a known and verified CM7 bug. Try going in the settings and changing your language to, like, English UK, then back to English US, and go to the market. Solved issues for me in the past.

Also, an announcement: I got myself a Transformer Prime. Which means I'll be giddy in about three weeks and going all OMGOMGOMGOMG everywhere. You probably WILL hear of it on my Google+ or on this thread's +page.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
i flashed last night, and able to press and hold q,w,e,r,t,y,u,i,o,p and get the numbers 1-0 with no issue. i didnt even know about this trick! thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
I think there is a setting for it...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dgalioto:
How long does it take to get approval from the cm team?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Same here .. I wanna know too
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
Language also fixed the keyboard issue. My phone was on a language setting HD (English) which is strange. I changed it to English (United States) and now everything seems to be fixed.

Thanks.

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/a-note-on-unofficial-ports-and-how-to-get-it-right

they consider stuff whan its 100% working and doesnt break anything else upstream :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
@cybik framework is different from last version correct ??
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Probably, why are you asking?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Was going to add ics animations.. For my use.. Just makes the phone seem smoother
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
I got my fingers crossed too! Im on my 3rd day of running CM7 on my photon and LOVE it! I hope team CM is impressed BC my brother in law is getting a photon in a week so soon in my family we will have 5 photons. And u better believe they all will have CM7 after they all see and play w my photon. My sis asked "holy crap, how is ur photon so much faster then mine!?" ;)

I'm in no hurry, this build has caused me no issues and no fc yet. I hope it gets support from CM BC I'm anxious to see CM9.

But to all that are curious if they should flash this build, I would say YES! I used CM7 on my evo and its about 10x better on the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
glad I was able to help but damn, can I getta +1 on my thanks meter from anyone that benefits from this tidbit ?? LMFAO.. or honorable mention in the OP for the tip ?? (of course, cybik implemented it as a workaround, thank you for that)

:)

EDIT: thanks for hitting thanks. P.S. when I had the Epic, I was in a Sprint repair center trying to get some issues resolved w/ my wife's phone. I was talking to the techs and they mentioned that the OG Evo had streaming issues. I suggested bypassing the proxies and they tried it on their own Evos. fixed the issues.

Funny stuff.. (sorry for the off topic snippet)

:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
I intergrated my number with google voice so I get all my SMS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Well U work a sprint and it is a network overload that they are having because so many people are coming to sprint because that unlimited data.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I might or might not have made something cold work on something that emits light.

Just sayin'.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Hope it doesn't melt before I get to try it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Now your just teasing ;p

Cant wait
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
It's just preliminary work, so hold yer horses. FYI: Turl should get many of the props.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Big ups to turl.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
I don't understand?? Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Anything working on it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nextlevel_44:
I know there has been talk in regards to the use of the internal storage vs the sdcard and how its set up. Was wondering if that had anything to do with why the gallery app can get pictures from both but the android music app will only read my sdcard and not internal memory.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
hmmm a riddle eh?

well a photon is a a form of light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

and something cold? well i would say froyo.. but who cares about that? ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Makes me hungry for sammiches! Vanilla please.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Well played. Bastard. :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
Oh lol...now I feel dumb haha
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
i posted an overclock kernel for cm7, however you should run cm7 with cybiks kernel first. consider my kernel alpha only. you may get great results but you may also get new bugs and should not be posting those new bugs in this thread. if you have an issue you should verify its not kernel based by testing the bug with cybiks kernel as well before posting the issue. now enjoy cm7 at 1.4oc
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Thanks for great work. I'm running your kernel now, works great. Also we can find some ideas on undervolting since kernel supports it. Awesome work. Youtube works on proxy ban to null
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Ignore..........
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Use setcpu or mryt to undervolt.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
ignore what?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
I posted something in the wrong thread sorry. Ignore that post.

Nice work man keep it up!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
How you do that
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Yeah sure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
Where in the build.prop did u put that? I was looking through and I couldn't find where to put it

Edit: nevermind..found it and changed the settings and now YouTube etc..work over wifi
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
Which settings exactly?
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
i used root explorer to look for the build.prop and about halfway down youll see these with other stuff written there but just change them to 0's and save then reboot

sprint.mm.http.proxy= 0.0.0.0

sprint.mm.http.port= 0

sprint.mm.rtsp.proxy= 0.0.0.0

sprint.mm.rtsp.port= 0
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
I am just gonna leave this here.

--27s
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Thats a pretty high score but I think we all know that doesn't mean **** with Android. I think we figured that out with iPhone and wp7 devices not scoring that high but out performed android in many real world tests. Scores are for the turds...
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
awesome, worked for me too. can this be incorporated into the actual build so that next time we just flash the rom and it works?

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

After Photon CM build is accepted, will ROM Manager add Photon and allow us to use backup/restore roms directly from ROM Manager?

Has anyone gotten ROM Manager working as it is now? Technically I have CWM so should I be able to use it even if CMW was installed outside of the app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
I'm going to try this
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
You could use rom toolbox to edit it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Take a break and get back at it later. Youll think of something. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I just got wifi working. That driver was a pure, unadulterated /female dog/ to tame and make compile. Repackaging and testing the new package, then uploading.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Uploaded the Wifi-enabled build. Have at it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
Soooooo this isn't ready for use in USA since CDMA isn't working yet?

Sent from my rooted/unlocked mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Probably not. But some people can test the GSM aspect of it. I suspect the GSM SIMlock is a software lock on Android's side, not on the Radio's side.

But yah. Right now, CDMA, no go :(

It's a bastard to test for me, too. I can't because I don't have access to any CDMA whatsoever. Though I did make some progress isolating what the bug might be.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
Damn good work getting the wifi module working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Cybik, so how'd you go about getting WiFi working? Did you just recompile your own kernel and compile the dhd.ko module to go with it? I'm going to try that out tomorrow/Tuesday when I have free time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
:O you would be my hero if you could help me get the module built, i keep running into errors ill boot into linux tomorrow and see if you hit the same roadblocks
[Motorola Photon 4G] devilsshadow:
Damn dude you're like some sort of forum batman. Coming here out of nowhere and just slamming awesome dev justice in our collective faces. Thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
cybik, I had surprised by your PM about wifi thing, and yes, I'm backing up the photon now for test your latest build. Ready to test around.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
installed latest build. GSM network works stable and good. 3G network works.

youtube doesn't work, WTF.

There support of multilanguage, I think it should be mentioned in the first post too, as well as, I never had CM before and I was surprised there my native language.

Found one more problem: when I add the gmail account for sync, it doesn't work, error! anybody can fix?

Wifi works great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Yeah :( I'm concentrating on getting "everything" to run right now, nevermind properly. Bugs will be fixed a bit later.

That's weird, I'm sync'd to two accounts myself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Yep. Right now, the kernel and modules I'm using are my own recompilations of Motorola's own sources per what they published on the net (hint: sourceforge). DHD gave me difficulties, but the instructions that Motorola gives are not the best either.

BAM! You're welcome. awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Broadcom's makefile is to blame. The build engineer who wrote it should be shot.

Sorry I couldn't answer you before. I was sleeping.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
I can test the cdma if anyone needs it. Cdma is all I need now to make this my daily! You guys are freaking awesome! Keep up the phenomenal work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Doesn't need testing. It's known not to work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
What about battery..... it really dies on eyes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] edgemaster191:
Not sure if this is helpful or not but i just confirmed that GSM is not working in the states.

i can see under "Access Point Names" ATT wap.cingular

but under "Network Operators" i can't see any available networks.

I have an AT&T Prepaid SIM installed. (not sure if that makes a difference?)

I also checked #*#*4636*#*# in the dialer and made sure it was set to "GSM Only"

Is there anything else i should try before i flash back to stock?

For what it's worth, it is fast as hell and WiFi seems to be working just fine. :-)

Edit: epic fail! apparently the SIM card that i have is locked for 6 months to the stupid goPhone it came out of.... which means i still have 4 months to wait unless anyone knows a way to unlock it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
I think the battery meter is offset by about 30% in our current CM builds. I noticed when I was running CM I had 20% battery but when I restored back to stock I had about ~50%... is there some line that we can edit to offset the battery level?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Probably some misreporting / miscalculation. Might look into it in the future. For now I'm concentrating on full functionality.

Thanks for the check dude, very appreciated :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I installed battery monitor widget pro, there around 55mA usage in the standby mode and 300-700mA in normal mode when display is turned on. Probably, youtube thing and battery is refered on same thing, maybe need to check something like gpu frequency or other power management tools, can't say something more accurate and correct.

I just wonder, mrinehart93, do you have same thing in your build of CM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Works... I notice through the proxy it takes longer to load and play.. But after taking it away loads right up . Thanks too whoever found this
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Can't you also do this with ##DATA#>Multimedia and change the proxies to 0?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Heh. Have you tried that while on this cm7 rom? -sigh-
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
See here, worked for me but has limitations use at your own risk

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16423326&postcount=96
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
is alpha cm7 ROM even worth flashing this early in the game?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dgalioto:
Yes
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
early in the game? it's been a month and a half, if i'm not mistaken.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
I Think people thinks alpha still is unstable and unusable ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
4G is still wack correct? i forgot why does 4g mess up is it because flashing a custom recovery or unlocking the bootloadeR?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I won't bother making 4G work as WiMax sucks anyway and I can't be arsed to debug it from this far.
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
I wish I couldgive you some f*cks since I have to use Wimax since my 3g speeds suck ass.

Sent from my MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Wouldn't you have to reverse engineer wimax like team win (toastch etc) back on the evo 4G? I'm sure that's no easy task as it took those guys many months to get it going.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
:( I live in a good 4G area
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
They was my thought too. That was a pretty spectacular day when they figured that out. And didn't they have the benefit of the nexus s 4g to help them along?

Sent from my MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Wow, this is running amazing! This is what I did. Full wipe, install latest build, reboot, install gapps, both versions, reboot, do apn fix and 0.0.0.0 fix in build prop, change sd card setting in cyanogen settings, under applications. flash jokers cm7 kernel. This thing is running perfect! And I don't get the dialer force close on startup since flashing the new kernel. Battery is great, speed is amazing, and everything works, except 4g which I don't have in my area anyway. And hdmi mirroring. Great job on this to all involved! And to do it so quickly to.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I was afraid of installing this rom, because of the alpha state. But I had it on Defy, so I wanted CM7 again.

I installed it and I must say... wow!

It's absolutely ready for daily use and it's better, than any motoblur rom again.

Using Mixer theme like on Defy and it's faster and very nice too.

Thanks...

Sorry for my English.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
This honestly is not even a Alpha anymore everything works more or less he just has to get the ok from the CM team to call it such
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Won't be out of alpha until Mainline decides it. This is pure outside development I will never call it a Beta if it's not integrated into the CM project itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:
well this ROM is more stable than any blur ROM I've installed. Only the mms issue needs a permanent fix and this puppy is beta for sure if not stable. its been my daily driver for a week now and not 1 random reboot!

great job!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
So do I lol. I just can't Bork my 4G as much as I love cm7. 3G is piss poor..
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Something weird happens with wifi to me. It happens, when I enter advanced wifi settings and sometimes, when the screen is off. It disconnects and never reconnects, until a I turn wifi off and on. Here is the log.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
I tried this ROM out on my Electrify a couple days ago and all was well except; it wouldn't let me add a Gmail account thus borking the whole thing. Anyone else have an issue like this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Just curious, does the touch screen wake up work? I thought i saw that on one of the official videos fire another phone...anyway, nice work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
That and the $3000 dollar bounty that people had up. It was definitely more than a $2500 pot for sure. I think it may have been higher than 3k. Money talks man. These devs have lives outside of xda. Took them about 6 months but it was accomplished!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Um... Did you try installing the gapps pack?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
I had the same issue, thing is it was also doing it on every ROM even stock. I was running openwrt on my router and i tftp' the stock firmware back on the router last night as a final resort, and the issue is resolved in my case. Seems like something odd going on with the openwrt i was using.. Works perfectly on any ROM now..

Just for ****s n grins i put openwrt back on, streamed audio with it plugged in and a few mins after the screen was off, it would kill the data. If you have screen always on while charge it stays up..

put Stock Netgear firmware back (ugh) problem gone again (weird as its openwrt based) ... Go figure..
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
ddwrt here too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Cant use DD-WRT as it blows on the Router I have.. OpenWRT was pretty good, but damn that issue was pissing me off. I dont understand how it would affect it..

If I use OpenWRT it wont stream for more than 2 mins after the screen is off. Netgear Firmware, it was streaming all night.

Truly Bizarre. I should just mess with different builds, as there are many..
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
I dont know what i did wrong. Full wipe then installed rom. I rebooted then installed gapps. Rebooted. Gapps kept fc. I flashed my back up from cwm. Going to try it again when i get home from work. When i did have it installed...WOW fast. Great work dev. I think my issue was prolly caused due to a bad install. I used the gapps from cm website.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
don't forget to totalwipe
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
I have the same issue with dd-wrt on the same router, if you figure out a build that works please share.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
Have any of you had any success with Tomato on your router? I'm not 100% sure what problems you're having, but I've never had issue with my router and phone.

So I finally got this ROM working and I must say WOW. Great work! Everything is quick, and its just how I like my CM! Thank you!

The only issue I'm having is whenever I first turn my phone on, it says the process phone has force closed. I'm able to make calls so its kind of confusing. Other than that, perfect so far.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
Sry thats what i meant by full wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
guys i hate to be a jerk about it, but can we keep router chat to a minimum? i keep seeing this thread bumped and get exciting thinking cybik got a black friday deal on f*cks and fixed everything ever wrong with the phone ;)

and i know, by posting this im doing it to someone else :P

P.S.

Netgear WNR834B v2 with

Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/24/10) mini-special

its been running amazing for almost a year :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Actually trying to kill the battery from 100%

It died right after I emailed myself the picture

Thats brightness up playing fruit ninja thd slacker texting and playing from the stock player
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
meh, as long as people discuss performance and issues with the stuff I don't exactly give a damn. If they start segues into everything, THEN I'd get pissed. Also bumpage contributes to awareness of the ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
What is both version you installed... and does you wifi work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Hey where are we getting the update gapps that allows gtalk video chat working?
