after 5 days of CM7 on my photon, my mouth is still dropped. AMAZING!

Im headed to Singapore on Sunday for a week, i ran a search on the thread for networks and it looks like i should be good to go for running on their network? just wanted to confirm.

My co-worker will have his stock photon (not stock for long tho) with us so we will be able to compare and run some tests, but i just wanted to check.

as far as FC'd mentioned, I DID get the phone FC but only on my first boot from the flash. ive rebooted other times to see if it would happen again, but it was the one hit wonder i guess.

Rom is running great, i do not see any memory leaks(i float around 575mb-615mb free) or battery drains. I unplugged friday morn and ran the whole weekend and plugged in last night. good solid 3 days of up time. (phone calls, emails, sms, mms, few web surfs, and of course good ole pandora when i was on a 600 mile road trip on sat, ran pandora for about total of 2 hours) yes, i keep my data turned off when not using.

flashed jokers V3 kernel last night and saw even a whole new beast. glad these two have teamed up!

Summary - IF you dont use 4g and have used CM before or want a cleaned up phone without blur and sprint garbage, Unlock and Flash this build at once!

Make sure to hit a thanks to the OP! Cybik, you are a great person. not enough thanks i can say for your work.

[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
cybik,

just curious what your thoughts are about the Thread Title saying Alpha. many others, along with myself are having great success with your build. didnt know if you consider it more of a Beta now with all the happy users or are you waiting for a few final tweaks?

I know sometimes i am very shy of "alpha" on a daily driver and i feel that this build is very much all of a daily driver.

Thanks again for CM7!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
He said it's going to stay alpha until cm make it official..
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
ops, i feel like an idiot bc now i remember reading that from the other week. thank you for reminding me!
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
does this work good on sprint? just curious.......
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
With the majority using it on CDMA, I'd wager it's "stable enough".
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
yes, I have sprint and live 40 miles sw of houston. this weekend i drove all the way to laredo and back on hwy 59 and did not have one hiccup. 3g, voice and data work great with no issues and battery life is superb.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
thanks gentlemen, havent really checked up on this thread but seems ill be flashing this puppy next break, one thing im kind of holding back on from flashing is missing the stock moto music player, i wanna bring it over to cm7 badly its been serving me well. so if there is a way to do it help a brother out! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
the new Music app is better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
which one? googles? or the one that is cooked in your rom? one thing i did like was the lyrics because half of the shi* i listen to is headbanger lol but i am goin to flash this beast and go at it :) thanks for all your work on getting CM7 back into my life
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Google's own.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
I just flashed the latest build of CM7. i tried to install the market app but it said that i need to add an account. Where do i go to add my google account? i went to accounts in the settings menu and it says put in my email and password and then it says its adding an exchange account. i didn't have to go through the regular set up at first, like if i was just starting up the phone after flashing a new ROM. please help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragonfire353:
Did you flash gapps as well?
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
no, i did not, where can i find that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragonfire353:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Played with this all day. Opentwrt several builds from official to a community built build, all did the same.

DDWRT has exactly the same issue, as does Gargoyle.

Openwrt does log it tho, and disconnects the dhcp due to inactivity. Been told its a common issue with openwrt and android devices with this chipset the router uses. So even tho its receiving data it shuts the stream off once the device is in screen sleep mode.

Only solution right now is three things:

1) Set screen to never go off when plugged in while using a custom firmware. Will still shut off when not plugged in tho.

2) Use the stock Netgear firmware. Works as it should, but horrible/limiting as hell.

or

3) Smash router with pickaxe and get a new one.. (which pisses me off as I just bought this one) and vow never to buy Netgear again

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
so i just downloaded your rom and it booted great, im trying to boot the 1.4 kernel and everything is running smooth 4768 Max was 5123 stock
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Working like a charm! thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] pastert33:
Edit :NM, rebooted and it started to sync. Awesome job!

Haven't read the whole thread so forgive me but I was wondering why my contacts didn't sync?

Sprint VVM apk?

Does anyone have a working version of Sprint Voicemail app that works with this version of cyanogen? I'm just about ready to reflash the stock rom to get that feature back. I really liked it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
use google voice and forget about sprints crappy vvm?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Take the vtt.apk from the rom and install it. Thats what the sprint voicemail is called. I did it yesterday
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
blasphemy!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Oh yes.

Also smart.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
I joined my number w my Google voice so even my voice mails get typed out and texted and emailed to me :)

I agree, stock sprint one is handy, but I've found Google voice just as handy.

Just an option that may keep you with cm7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
Google voice has stopped working for me today. I think it has something to do with the apn setting.

EDIT: never mind that. It decided to work again suddenly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
suddenly voice
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Hey where do you change the proxy to get wifi working better in multimedia stream.

I tried to look for it but I only could have the proxy for sprint TV.

Edit: I found where to edit it. I just had to keep going back in the forum and I found it.

THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
I missed CM7, glad to be back. Amazing work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:
Does anyone have the vtt.apk handy....also Google voice seems pretty good to....just wanted to have a copy of the .apk for back up
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
Before I flashed cm I titanium backup my apps. Then I restored vvm with data. Works great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
Finally got this to install. First attempt must have been bad download. I did everything the same as I did before except I redownloaded the rom. Fast, stable, great battery life. Thanks dev and thanks to everyone who posted fixes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
I too am having problems with WiFi, with CM7 I can no longer connect to the WiFi at my work. It's as if the wireless scanning time is set too low and it doesn't give enough time for the AP and the phone to sync up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
Installed Google Voice yesterday. I like but I continue to get transcript errors???
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Everyone has that issue with the transcribing issue.

Just wondering how this runs? Is it good enough for everyday use? Also is there anyway to fix mms error and youtube? Im considering flashing this so im just wondering
[Motorola Photon 4G] SLEEPYMAN01:
I was the same about flashing but did it anyways. Don't think I'm going back to stock this is too great. I say go for it. Only problem I have is youtube not working on 3G or wifi. MMS works perfectly fine for me

[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
has anyone had an issue with text message notifications? I have tried with stock and a couple 3rd party apps also. I get an icon in the notification area but no sound. sound works for everything else i.e. ringer, just not text messages.

My only issue, which I have lived with this far just thought I'd ask.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
No it works just fine here. All Notifications work perfectly Try a reflash/Factory Reset, and see if it fixes it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
For those interested, this ROM has been nothing short of great! The only problem I had was youtube but changing the build.prop fixed that. I've got good battery life and thus is as quick and responsive as anything I've used before. This became my daily ROM the night I installed it. Themed with ICS and this is by far the best phone experience I've ever had. Its even got slide to dismiss notifications! The only thing I wish it had, all ROM's for that matter, is the screen rotation animation. If it had that, I would say perfect 10/10. As is, 9.31415926% perfect.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
How did you theme with ics? I would love to have that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
I use the cm7 ICS theme from the market, its pretty good although some of the icons aren't the same as the official build (app drawer icon, for instance)
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
That's what I was afraid of lol thanks!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
That's what I'm using, I found a link to it somewhere is this subforum, maybe even this thread. If you search the Market for "ics cm7" it should be the first option that pops up. Good luck!

For those of you that are on US Cellular with the Electrify and don't want the "Sprint" on the pulldown/lockscreen, here's the modded framework-res.apk. Just ADB push it for now. I'll put up a CWM flashable when I get back from work.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragonfire353:
it said installation failed? could it be because I have joker's kernel installed and converted data partition to ext4?
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Sorry, should have mentioned its for ext3...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
it's latest source. which, technically, is 7.2 right now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragonfire353:
<3 u cybik, u're amazing, so was that a confirmation that u're working on ics now on g+?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Shhhhh it's cold that's all lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I said no such thing. For all you care, i could have been working while totally outside and my photon could have been in the snow.

tl;dr: i said no such thing. you are CLEARLY interpreting stuff. Clearly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Go to the advanced menu in cwm and click show log after trying to flash it.converting data has nothing to do with system

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Is anyone having force closes everytime they try to change their phones ringtone or notification(sms/mms) ringtone? I have it every time and cant change my ringtone, and its quite annoying lol. My calendar did the same thing until i went under manage applications and cleared all data then it started working fine, is there anyway i can do something like this to fix this issue? It is "process com.android.mms" and "process com.android.settings) that force closes every time. This is when going under settings, sounds, then phone ringtone or notification ring tone, as well as going into messaging, notification settings, select ringtone. And if i try to use a soundboard/file via music player or file manager or anything(that ive used on photon stock rom) it just says "set notification fail". Any way to fix this..? Thanks and other than that im loving the rom great job!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
My message was supposed to quote the earlier link to the apk to change things to US Cellular but apparently now that links working so I suppose ill settle for looking like an idiot lol

Is fm radio supported with this ROM? Almost forgot that the photon can do fm radio
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
My bad lol. There was a problem with the .zip and I can't fix it until I get off work... Unless someone here would be kind enough to throw it into a .zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragonfire353:
been wondering the same thing
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
it will come when it will come, if it ever comes.

I BUILD THE SOURCES SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO. No one stepped up to get this working efficiently but mrinehart, and then there was I. So be grateful or do it yourself.

(coulda sworn I activated that feature. Meh.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] nextlevel_44:
I Used the cm7 theme plus the adw theme to get all the right icons. Looks great
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragonfire353:
Not trying to be ungrateful just asking if there was a way, only way i know of on stock was through the stock music app, so much more epicness in this one I don't mind that missing lol, or i suppose i could make a backup of the stock music app and see if it works on this... unless it takes more than that app alone to get it to work
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
sorry for jumping the gun. sometimes someone can start a ball rolling demanding ****. I normally kill a fire before it burns. :P

Look up fm radio in market, i cant remember the name but i can confirm there is an app that might work. It works on blur
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragonfire353:
lol tis k, spirit fm radio? it works! having trouble with volume though.. have headphones on and it goes full blast which scared the crap outa me, can't change the volume for some reason...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Wasn't trying to demand anything. Just never saw it on the list of what works or what doesn't work or if it was even on the f#$k list. Lol

Not really missing the feature nor the hdmi part. really do appreciate all your work. Nice to hear that it does work tho. Just goes to show how good you are. Thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
So I've got a weird wifi issue happening, I can connect to a known and remembered access point and everything works fine however if I move to a different location it seems like the wireless is having a problem switching from one remembered access point to another with different SSID's. It attempts to connect repeatedly but just sits at "acquiring ip address..." and then cycles through the [ disconnected, scanning, acquiring ip address ] endless loop until it disables the remembered access point. If I manually disable wifi and then re-enable it, it will then connect no problem. I'm running the latest CM7 posted with jokers new 1.3 oc kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thegameksk:
Hey all. Just installed this and I have a few questions:

1) Ive seen some threads about changing SD card settings. How do I do this and why should I do it?

2) There is no battery indicator on the home screen. Is there a setting I have to tick? If not what a good one to download from the market?

Thanks

edit: One more I forgot.

Can the moto blurr galley work on this phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:

I am a Technician in a Corporate Sprint Store. I have installed this ROM on my personal device. These are my findings.

Phone passed a signal test with flying colors.

Restoring the VVM app from Titanium worked like gang busters.

MMS works for me using the Handcent App.

Data will drop from 3G to 1X at times but without further observation, I'm not sure if that is a location based issue. Those areas previously displayed 3G on the stock rom, but again, that may be a consequence of that rom.

Bluetooth pairing is working and AD2P appears stable.

I plan to test in the next few days:

WIFI

Long term use of AD2P Bluetooth

3G Data

I'm not at all knowlegable about taking logs nor do I have a linux box handy, but if there are things I can do to help, let me know. Detailed instructions are prefered.

I'll continue to test and post observations as I notice things of consequence.

Does anyone have a flashable stock kernel that works with CM7? Does CM7 come with a kernel? I'm not trying to spam any threads, just trying to figure out how to fix my weird issues

Sprint photon the stock messenger app wasnt working. Its working now but now I have a wifi issue. After sometime on my wifi disappears. I think it goes to sleep. Then when I try to trun it back on it goes through the process of finding a signal. Attempts to connect and then says disabled. This goes on for a few minutes before it finally connects. Any ideas?

i have the same problem sometimes, i think sometimes it'll eventually work, rebooting has worked so far for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
This sounds familiar from when I ran 7.1 nightlies on my Evo. Don't you just go into wireless settings and set the sleep timer to disabled, or some equivalent?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Thesian:
I'm not able to document an exact source at this time, but I'm lead to beleive this an issue withe the Kernel at this time, and that WiFi issues are being worked on and refined. I'm testing mine at this time, but I turn off my WiFi when I leave home, So I'll try to test it in situations where the device goes to sleep, and see if it drops the connection.

Lapdock 100 support?

Does anyone know if this compatible with the Motorola Lapdock 100? Got one coming for X-mas, and hoping it is...but since there is a known issue with HDMI mirroring I am concerned that it wont be and I may want to cancel my order and wait on that...really don't want to go back to stock.

[Begin Rant]

FYI for anyone thinking of buying from Motorola's Mobility website...BEWARE. The website wont necessarily tell you that your item is on any indefinite back-order and will just never arrive. You will log in and look, and see it is just "Undelivered". Finally, you'll get curious and wonder WTF is up, and call, THEN you will find out! Oh...and then they will tell you, you can NOT cancel an order and that you will have to RMA it once it gets shipped and get a refund! I went round and round and ROUND with CS out there on this, and finally after having them escalate my call over and over again, got a manager who said they would TRY to get it canceled. Low and behold, I just checked and they WERE able to cancel my order...but man...the *uckers sure as hell didn't want to do it!! So BEWARE when dealing with them! I suggest you CALL the 800 # and find out if the item you want is in stock and available first... don't be like me and ASSume it is, cuz it is on their freak'n website and offering free 2-Day shipping!! Grrrrrr.

Why is my android market my apps page being weird saying there's nothing installed? Telling me to browse apps or browse games
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gack69:
hmmm....thats odd. I just checked on my device and the market is functioning w/o any issues. Is this something new you are experiencing or is this something you've experienced from the start? I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps w/data and it works amazingly! It also has a market tools section which supposedly helps sync your installed apps with what shows up within the market "My Apps" list. You might wanna try seeing if that helps. Might also be a fluke or connection issue...where a reboot might resolve it too....dunno.
