Thanks for the replies. Its not a HUGE issue really. I've kinda decided to shelf it. Tried a couple different market zips and apks. When I do a search of an app I installed it says installed if that makes sense.

---QUESTION TO OP---

Is there a way to make the screen flip to widescreen on my TV? I'm trying to play my nes emulator thru hdmi and when I turn the screen to the side it stays portrait but rotates 90*

Is this an example of the "no questions about webtop mirroring or I'll murder you lol category"

No trying to use lapdock or anything just HDMI
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
I can now confirm that running totally "stock" CM7 (11/20 Build) I am still having the same problem I was previously having that I quoted above. So this is not necessarily a kernel specific issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I will say that there's been reports of a "fix" on Atrices based on something they found... in Photons.

I will also say that since I don't use the feature, I haven't really paid attention to it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I have similar problem with wifi. Not a big deal, as turning off and on solves that. But it's a bug. My Defy CM7 works well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I was having a issue where I would get the same text over and over.....its been happening for 13 hrs till I woke up and rebooted my phone....anyone else come across this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] iamanonymous:
Thank you for the reply. Does anyone know where this is referenced?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:
Me too. It is annoying.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
yes delete the extra APNS that your carrier doesnt need...

if you are on sprint, set up a Sprint APN only and delete the rest..

If you are USCC, Delete the 2 CDMA APNS and put your username and password in the USCC APN

Was covered many pages back.. For sprint users HERE in fact

I know it says MMS, but having multiple APNS also affect SMS too...
[Motorola Photon 4G] wintrxtrem:
Yeah, it seems like wifi turns off almost immediately after the screen at times. I use wifi a ton, so it's super annoying.

Other than that this ROM is fantastic, though I thought it was odd that gapps was already installed upon first boot of CM after a full wipe in cwm. This happened twice so either cwm isn't wiping everything or gapps is being installed with ROM. Thoughts, Cybic?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Exactly what I did followed your guide and worked it but this happened I got a text as soon as it died then hours later after reboot it kept doing it. This is the 1st day it has did it and hasn't since my reboot

You find your min by going to setting > About phone > Status > MIN

So if your MIN is 1234567890

any one know what im doing wrong i wiped data,cache,dalvick roms starts to install then says installation aborted something about build prop sd ext error???
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
cybik i gotta few fixes for you to try, might help with some bugs

in the init.rc

export SD_EXT_DIRECTORY /sd-ext

should be

export SD_EXT_DIRECTORY /mnt/sd-ext

add

mkdir /mnt/sd-ext 0000 system system

to create mount points

remove

mkdir /sd-ext 0771 system system

see above for why

i havnt tried these yet as im currently testing webtop for cm7, hope they help
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Nope. I don't like sd-ext as a concept. I much prefer having the sd mounted as an sdcard, and the internal memory as emmc. Makes _way_ more sense.

Wait, Webtop CM7? interesting.

A Couple Minor Bugs

a) Rom thinks there is a slideout keyboard. When first starting up, it says to slide out keyboard, and under keyboard options, there is a built in keyboard.

b) Language is set by default to a weird "Hd (United States)" option. Easily fixable.

c) More important: it's really easy to crash the camera by doing things fast. Toggling video/photo while recording or as soon as recording is done is an easy way for me to do it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
a) known

b) upstream

c) i'll pull an apple and shout "you're doing it wrong"
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Also a word of warning for anyone on USCellular using this ROM...

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you go into Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > System Select.

If you do, you WILL LOSE ROAMING. And you have no way in the ROM to set it back. This is due to it being set to Home Only. The only way to set it back is to put a stock ROM back on, and change it back to Automatic. (once you load the Stock ROM you will see that it is forced into Home Only)

Then you can reload Cybiks ROM on and you will be able to Roam again.. If you go into system Select it WILL BREAK it...

So dont....

by all means do the *#*#info#*#* and set EVDO only then go into

Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Preferences

and select EVDO/CDMA to fix the force close... but dont ever EVER go into System Select...

Did some testing on it today, and that was the end result..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Love this rom!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Try wiping.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Once you have gone into System select a wipe will not fix it..

When you put a stock ROM on (which the Electrify Deodex ROMS already wipe system, data, cache etc) it is still on Home Only.. because Cybiks ROM doesnt allow you to change from Home Only, if you go into that section it will set the phone into Home Only, with no way of getting it out of it.. I was sat in a roaming area today and played with this extensively. The only way you get the phone back out of Home Only is to put a stock ROM on and set it back to automatic once it is on.

Then wiping and putting the CM7 ROM back on it will be fine until you go back into the System Select settings.. then it goes back to Home Only and you have no way in the ROM to take it out of that..

This is very similar to a Showcase issue with CM7 but not quite as serious..

Wiping does squat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Then the settings are not on data. Try searching pds for where it stores that data. It has to store it somewhere
[Motorola Photon 4G] xecuter2:
Same issue for me as pertains to roaming, I went into that menu because there are times when forcing roaming is pretty nice (roam control did not work for me on this phone :/) and I was driving and using NAV so you can guess how well that panned out.. Flashed stock backup, saw it was home only and changed it back then restored CM and now I can roam. I REALLY hope we can get the roam setting working so that it actually functions as expected and roaming can be forced. That along with HDMI mirroring landscape are my only 2 gripes so far with using this daily.

[Motorola Photon 4G] wintrxtrem:
Roam Control works fine for me. I'm on Sprint but had to force VZW roaming on a recent trip through the MI U.P. Also, using PRL 11115 gets you 3G roaming whereas stock PRL usually limits you to 1x.

I have my photon set to CDMA auto (PRL) in the *#*#info#*#* settings. I don't think roam control would work under any of the other cdma choices.

battery screenshots

Here I post some screenshots for comparation of battery drain between stock moto firmware and CM7 from 17 october.

Battery usage says it's 82% display usage - moto firmware said around 50-60%.

[Motorola Photon 4G] htcSlide:
Just for kicks.. Has anyone tried the whole backup/lock bootloader/root/apply backup thru bootstrap thing with Cyanogen? I know it'd b a PITA.. But it may give us a way to have it as a daily.. If it allows for 4g on Alien.. maybe we can have radio on CM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
An interesting idea, but no. The Bootlock restores WiMAX/4G only, and from what I understand, your WiMAX needs the CDMA radio operational. Or I'm completely off-track. Which is definitely possible.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
cybik,

is there an IRC or a gtalk. I have the day off, and I would like to work on this if you have time. I went into the build.prop, and noticed that it defaults to GSM , and not cdma, and there is nothing to identify which network the phone should be on. I remember that from the EVO issues. In the CM build.prop it defaults to cdma = 4, etc. I doubt this will be any fix, but it could help to identify networks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
In theory, I'm at work right now. But I'll be on IRC in the CM rooms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
In the photon IRC...I have a logcat of the phone booting with CDMA enabled.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I'll be there in a bit.
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
what did you change in the buildprop I'll be off work in a bit and would like to give this a whirl.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:

[Motorola Photon 4G] robinrisk:
CDMA

Hey, im a newbie and all, but i checked and SprintOMADM and SprintZone are not installed as system apps on the ROM. Without those apps, CDMA will not provision and the phone will not work on CDMA.

I believe the phone should at least connect to CDMA, even if it is not able to make calls or use the internet, but those two apps should be on the system for it to work on CDMA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
It will still provision. The phones does not need either of those processes. The cdma radio ia not int correctly. It does not show mdn, msid or anything.. if the cdma radio was active, those values would be there
[Motorola Photon 4G] robinrisk:
Are you sure? Unless you know your MSN and MSID, and the NAI and the NAI password, the OMA-DM should fill those settings for you.

I know thats not the problem with CDMA working, but even if you get the CDMA working, if you delete OMADM while the phone is not provisioned, it should not provision itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
No, but this is assuming that your phone was activated through the stock software. ..or a kind sprint tech could push everything from the om-dm tool we have..
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
The phone does not need either of those two processes as I always delete then from my ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] robinrisk:
Well, today at work i tried to push the provisioning to OMADM, and it wasnt working. I went on break, pushed it again and it worked.

Im just thinking, since i´ve had customers that could not provision the phone, and when i look on About Phone , i see that they have custom ROMS.

As i said, im talking from experience and not actual knowledge, but i believe that if the OMA DM is frozen or deleted it will not provision with a different phone number or if the prov. information is deleted, since the OMA DM tool should not work without the process.

You would only see the problem if you swap phones or if your phone does not have any prov information.

But i´ll stop now, this are just theories, the ROM developer can try after the CDMA is workiing and see whats going on.

[Edit] If you want to confirm, try and dial ##72786# and enter your MSL code, this will delete all provisioning information without deleting your data, if the SprintOMADM process is deleted or frozen, it will not provision.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Sorry bros, my wifi seems out of whack this evening.

I've been investigating all of this on my part with logcat and stuff. I've restored the stock firmware, and right now I'm in the process of examining how exactly it switches from one mode to the other.

Also, SprintZone is ****.

And from what I can gather, OMA-DM is a huge pile of crap designed to lock down and "advanced carrier-brand" your phone after first bootup: there's OMA-DM crap in the Xperia X10, and that's a GSM-only phone. It also actually uses WAP and SMS.

Nice ideas, but after preliminary investigation, I have to relegate them to plan D.

ed: i don't want to sound condescending, robinrisk. I just have a HUGE bone to pick with carrier customization.

any news on CM7 webtop? is this the thread you would post in if you got it working?

[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Its a very large project with many people working on it. Ive joined the atrix team in attempting to get it working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Its changing the mode on the CDMA Radio, and stores that in the MSM. This is why its still on Home Only when you flash a stock Rom back on (not an SBF as that resets everything including the MSM - Which is why programming goes too.). The setting in CM7 is setting the Home only flag, and because the other setting do nothing, this is why it cant be set back.

You could use QPST I suppose to mess around with the CDMA Radio Parameters, but that is pretty low level, and if you mess up any edits you'd have to SBF again anyway.. Plus I am not even sure if QPST even works on these phones anymore.. its been a long time..

[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
A code freeze is when you stop adding code to something for a while and instead focus on refining the code that is already there. So they probably aren't gonna work on adding support for the photon till they are out of the code freeze. And I think by mainline he's just talking bout the cyanogenmod team. Also, it could be what jokersax said. They are focusing more on building cm9 than they are for adding cm7 support.

Replying from this page of this thread:

I have downloaded, installed and can not get this to work. Anyone have luck with this? I dial my phone VM and my mailbox is empty. Install this app...run it once to make sure it runs...it does. Exit the app and call myself and leave a test message. I get an SMS text alert about a VM left, but when I run the Voicemail app, it tells me my mailbox is full?!? So...don't know if I am missing some steps in setting the app up for use or maybe it just isn't compatible with this ROM?

That being said...if we can't get the old Sprint VVM app to work, is there another app that anyone would recommend?

[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Is this the voicemail app that came loaded on the photon? If so, I have it working on this ROM, but I didn't download it from here and install it.
