I will miss your work and your direct funny posts. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Hey does this mean you can confirm that you'll be taking this project over for sure? How do you feel about getting the photon merged officially into the cm branch? And if you are taking this over you should start your own thread! Ill be donating to you soon for you hard work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Well i just posted and haven't been contacted yet. Plus its christmas time so you know...

I'll be glad to take over and hopefully cybik will help out in his own way. Sucks thats he's leaving as he is an awesome dev.

I work alot so i cant really make promises as to how fast ill get it booted, i deleted my ics source like 3 days ago to make room for something lol, so im redownloading. Even though i had it i never tried to port because i knew cybik was working on it. So ill be starting fresh. Shouldnt be too hard though. Once i get it to boot/setup kinda, i plan to github my source and pull everyone in on the project.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
to get gingerbread to work is pretty straightforward: clone cm7, apply my patches in r.cyanogenmod.com, kablamo. My device tree is on github anyway. Might update it with the "relative-easy instructions on module building".

clone the standard CM9 tree, I'll package my sunfire tree and send it to you whenever. Also, since it is indeed christmas, "whenever" is in the next four days, since, well, xmas, booze and ****.

I _guess_ I sync up to latest code and launch a build. Keep in mind I have no way in the nine ****ing HELLS of knowing whether it'll work or not.

/ballin'

I didn't get bored from the Photon as quickly as I got bored of my Nexus S. It's a testament to its relative awesomeness.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Do i need aosp 4.0.3r1 source from google or does the cm9 tree have everything?

Im space/bandwidth limited so smallest required is preferred
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
CM9 will do. I ran it :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Can you post the repo command
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics

lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gack69:
Gonna miss you too Cybik, but for sure...your work was VERY appreciated! Best of luck in your new endeavor and have a safe and merry Christmas brother! New Years too, of course! :-D

[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Thanks so much for your hard work and your appreciation of the best gift/toy God ever gave to man....Boobies.

Thanks again brother and have fun with the prime.

Joker I'm willing to be a tester. Pretty newb at code but can follow directions easily.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
oh ffs....

man i was enjoying being lazy

if you could send me the device files for cm9 that would be awesome as well. ill go ahead and get setup on cm7 :/

perhaps with me having source etc ill be able to help joker out
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
don't we all?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
how bout a organization based github setup like what the atrix guys are doing? my upload is horrible but i should be able to overnight it everything not included in cm source.

i just tar.7z cm7 source to move from my lappy to my main and wow i never realized how slow my lappy is. im soo glad i didnt try to build on it.

reason to abandon 4.4.0

[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Damn straight. I'm just that much more politically correct on G+.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
loki might be able to get you a photon on the cheap/free.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
chatted with him about it. Sadly it doesn't come with a temporal distortion generator to give me more time to do things...
[Motorola Photon 4G] iconeo:
But this is the photon .... you sure it doesn't have one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Omg i hit 5kb/s, only like 20 gigs to go. February i might have the source downloaded
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Reminds me of when I used to download linux on dialup.:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
seriously?? >.>

i started cm7 source download about an hour ago and im downloading cm7/android/external right now ;P

ill prolly setup the device tree and make sure everything flows smoothly and then try setting up ccache while i download cm9 sauce
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Cybik could you send me a link to the Photon sources you've been using ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Your still alive? Lol Great to hear from you. Hope school went well. Now it's a party!:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
oh i see how it is, you ignore my calls texts and emails but you come back for him?? ;P
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Thank god i already had most of cm7. I think i peaked at 17kbs. Now it's at 3kbs. So im thinking like march.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
yea im done >.>
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:

[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Hey,

I have a separate photon at the house. It comes from the warranty department since I work at sprint. I haven't send that one back. So if the community want to take care of the charge of the devices. I will be happy to send the device to cybik.

The devices is going to cost me $500. Let me know what the community wants to do?!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
Though I'm sad to see Cybik go, I'm happy that Joker, Shabby, and Mrrinehart are eager to jump on the ball right away.

I'm anticipating awesome results already.

And who knows, maybe some of the work Cybik does on other devices could end up making it's way back to the MoPho in one way or another :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
I'm going to work on ICS :) And then when WebOS becomes open-sourced, well... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
hit a snag while compiling,

anyone care to help? :)

also finding that cm team moved crap around for 9.. now its moto instead... so rather than renaming that one folder id rather try to do it where it will be upstream capable. getting a lot of errors of not being able to find the modules folder but no errors to tell me what is looking for it

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
that error is from cm7, cm9 im still finding errors from "cant find ../../motorola/.. etc etc" :/

https://github.com/Shabbypenguin/sunfire/commit/0049e11251322e4dfdfcc96f5860eceb09f7d533

here is a commit on my new cm9 branch on how to get past that error, talking to some folks on how to bypass the overlay error noe

oh sweet jesus we are gunna need to fix the overlay a helluva lot to get cm9 to even compile :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
use the photondevteam organization thingy i made. then we can help each other
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
If anything, buying one on ebay for 2-300 would be the route to go.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
thats fine and id love to, git isnt not my strong point. so i have no idea how to fork my current sunfire dir (which is in turn forked from cybik) to the dev-team one...

edit: nevermind the dev team wasnt even letting me know that there was any repos on it.. forking from the team and then redo all my edits so i can do a pull request
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
as i said, I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus. I don't have the flammable income, nor the actual available time, to devel for a device I will not use daily.

and even if the device is free, the mojo won't be there. I appreciate all the efforts but you can't force someone to do something if the drive is not there anymore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Cybik, though i didn't flash cm7, thank you for your efforts with the phone. good luck with the nexus.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
you didn't apply the camera patch. http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9893
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ah thanks

yea i pulled directly from your github so any changes there i missed :/

edit: getting them now :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Send that bad boy back! The charge back isn't worth it. I have the opportunity to get my hands on one with a cracked, but working digitizer and also have an upgrade available. I may be starting a development funding thread after I contact/hear from the other devs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
my github contains only the device overlay. The r.cyanogenmod.com patches aren't in it.

Here's them.

[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
The oma-dm has nothing to do with custom roms. Hell, on the Evo all of the custom roms I have had can be reprovisoned OTA, and they do not have any carrier **** on them. I don't know how long you have been around phones, but worst case scenario, you get dialer codes working from the nexus s and manually reprogram, but in all honesty, all you would really need to do is nandroid to a stock rooted rom and reprovision if needed. You are assuming that CM is installed on the phone out of the box. The device is not reading the radio file correctly from what I can tell, and that is why the values are not correct in phone information.
[Motorola Photon 4G] edgemaster191:
So here's something fun.

i was messing around in Cyanogen on my photon playing with GSM settings now that i have an unlocked SIM card. The phone recognized my AT&T phone number and would connect to AT&T quickly then disconnect.

anyway, i had to leave the store for a few so i restored my nand backup of my stock rom and the phone still thinks my phone number is my AT&T number and it won't connect to sprint.

anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I used this firmware full day, I need to go back to stock temporary. Many things should be fixed, and I'm not very experienced in CM7 at all. So, I'm while out of work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
here's a worthy Idea: the fact that GSM even works might be a flippin' fluke. :P I'll investigate a bit further, but the RIL is giving me nightmares.
[Motorola Photon 4G] edgemaster191:
so are we gonna scrap CM 7 and start working on CM8 with Ice Cream Sandwich? :-D
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
ICS is still going to need a CDMA radio working... XD
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Do you know when the source is dropping?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
They didn't say, but sdk is out - not that it helps. My guess is that android git will come back online at the same time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
how about no?

Also, CM8 never existed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
cm team said they are skipping cm8 because of google
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
representing canadaaa! ;)

im happy with my GSM, well done

this is near complete

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

what do u mean,, as in Cm8 shouldve been honeycomb

so there going to cm9?
[Motorola Photon 4G] rohit3192:
good to hear that it is working for atleast gsm.

BTW:ss2006 you started with razr.

are you sure your next phone is not going to be razr :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elendil_23:
Cannot boot

Hi

After I install CM7 the phone keeps rebooting on the Moto logo, over and over again, am I doing something wrong here? I've done it twice and both times was doing the same

Any advice will be appreciated, thanks'
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Elendil: boot to recovery, clear data. If that doesn't work, restore your motorola backup.

These builds can in no way be considered stable, and I probably won't support them, as I don't have the time. They're WIP and that's that. Sorry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elendil_23:
Hi

Thank you for your advise, I did try factory reset then flash it on top of that, but no go, I did try your version and the other CM7 version out there, I had same issue with both, what a shame! I do want to have CM7 since that's the best ROM out there for the Photon. I will try new versions as they come, regards.:cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
cybik

Per your instructions (albeit late)

eh dude, I'm Lokifish Marz and I just followed you on +
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
any updates on Bluetooth, Youtube, and Battery drain?
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
btw it works 100% on gsm, with fido

im real happy thansk man

u shud integrate shabbys kernel, so under performance we can hit 1.1 ghz in max, and use different governors!

i think mrineheart had it in his
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Adds a level of complications until he gets everything stable.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Nope. Any mod that introduces ANY difference from standard kernel and functionality, and diverges from ANY tenant of CM, will not be implemented by me. I'm keeping it as stockCMmoto as I can.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
jokersax PM me the link. Between all of us we'll be able to get some good stuff going :)

mv the wimax crap out of the tree. ****er is coded against HTC crap.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
need to look and see how the ns4g did it, as its samsung and has 4g perhaps doe something along the lines of what they do and max a new setup? :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
you would still need their device so u can clone it to your photon. You would need more than the ROM to make it happen. From their terms of use, they monitor your Cell Usage Index over a 7 day period. If they feel you use too much cellular service, they send you a reminder and a time frame within which to bring your usage into compliance...

here's their page on what they consider fair use

seems like a good idea... hit me up via PM if you're going to consider this.. I might be interested as well (with my photon as well LOL)

sorry for falling off topic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Thesian:
For Loki, Mrinehart, Shabby, and other Devs...

I can get you Photon parts... just no Mainboards or ESN's. Offer is open to you guys as main Devs here. Let me know if you end up needing a screen, or front housing and screen assembly, or something.

A back battery cover might be nice after some good development is done... my battery cover squeaks from all the battery pulls lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] foxsdaddy67:
call motorola and tell them your back panel creaks, they will send you a new one. i did lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Why oh why cant they just man up and copy samsungs 3 finger salute.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Yeah the Photon is the first device I've had battery cover problems with... I had to pull the battery on my sisters Photon the other day and I had to TEAR the cover off because it was so tight. There's no way a cover will be able to stand that much force without getting deformed/warped.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Vylle:
how do you guys get this phone into GSM ONLY mode? so far i see that it allows CDMA/EvDo but i dont see GSM at all
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Open the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#* A menu will come up. Choose Phone Info. Select Preferred Network Type, then change it to GSM only. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Vylle:
thanks a billion - got it in GSM only mode now and its going great
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
So does mine. I've been using this TPU so it won't squeak lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Thesian:
Shoot me a PM, and we'll work out where I can send it to.
[Motorola Photon 4G] edgemaster191:
man i broke a tab on the battery door on my Photon the day i got it. The girl in the sprint store took it, opened it up, put the battery in and activated it before handing it to me (SOP i'm assuming) so i took it, opened it up to put my SD card in it from my Evo and one of the stupid tabs broke.

She went in the back and got me another one, but damn... shouldn't take THAT much effort to get it apart.

Now it comes off just fine but the bottom of it creaks..oh well.

back on topic: Anyone have any info on ICS progress? (i know i know don't ask for ETA's...i'm not..i've been here long enough to know better)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Cyanogen source broke on me and i cant download till they fix it unless i missed some memo
[Motorola Photon 4G] violinbf:
MMS

What is the story with MMS on this Kang? Is there a way to get this working? This is the one feature I need to make this a daily. Does this have something to do with carrier setup, APN?

If I missed some work around, let me know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Yeah, just update the Sprint info in the apns-conf.xml file for the correct sprint MMS. Was that the only network that had MMS problems?

https://github.com/thekraven/androi...39257795e80#prebuilt/common/etc/apns-conf.xml
[Motorola Photon 4G] violinbf:
Oh thanks, i will take a look at that .xml.

I found a temporary workaround using Go SMS Pro. for whatever reason, this app seems to work when the native CM7 messaging app doesn't.

Could it also have something to do with the format or size of the MMS? Go SMS Pro alows you to set limits on file size and resolution. I set the MMS limit to 500k at native resolution that seems to work well. If the native messaging app is trying to send a 4meg uncompressed photo.. could that time out because the file size is to large? Just a thought.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Alex210:
Have everything set up and running great, so far the only problems I've had is the mentioned youtube over wifi (no big deal) and reboots when trying to change the ring/notification sound. I'm prompted to use Android System or Handscent, choosing Android System causes a quick reboot. I was able to set the sounds with handscent.

[Motorola Photon 4G] wintrxtrem:
My photon was stolen while I was at a bar last week so over the past five days I've gone through hell and back to get a vzw thunderbolt I had laying around working on sprint.

Glad to see photon development continue, though, despite cybik's departure. Reception really sucks on this tbolt compared to the photon, and if CM9 + 4G makes its way to the light I'll likely pony up for another. Thanks to everyone who helped make the photon the best phone I've ever owned.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
AFAIK, mostly eveything you do in GoSMS (aside from SMS) goes through GoSMS servers before being delivered to the other phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RedBeardedDevil:
So I have been hearing that this ROM is "complete". Is this true? I am running Alien ROM right now and I'm okay with it but it's buggy as all get out. Is there an updated thread with the latest of what's working and what's not?
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
For me, it's definitely stable enough for daily use. The first post is accurate, except mms works for me after editing apns.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
Its complete. There is a workaround for youtube involving editing buildprop. I'm not aware of any other issues. The Dev was waiting on approval from cyanogenmod for his branch before removing alpha. He moved to a different device but joker and others are working on cm9.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
The epic 4g finally got approved just yesterday i think .. Hopefully we can too soon ..
[Motorola Photon 4G] RedBeardedDevil:
I just installed it. Right away it had an error but it hasn't popped up again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
This is a known bug but nothing important...
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
The only real issues I get with this ROM is when booting, about 70% of the time I get a phone force close upon boot. His force close and everything works fine after that.

Sent from my CWM OC'd CM7 Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
You can fix that by forcing CDMA only PRL by going into *#*#INFO#*#*

then setting the same thing in the Networks section on the phone after you have done that..

However doing that on the Electrify you will lose roaming and the phone will be stuck on Home Only. The only way to change it back is to reflash a Stock ROM back on and set it off Home Only (the Data mode stays even after flashing a ROM) ..

This is the only reason I am not using this ROM atm as there are areas where I drive thru weekly that are served by Verzion towers. as a result I have no service. And it being winter, driving in sometimes icy conditions with my 8yr old son taking him to school, thats a no go for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RedBeardedDevil:
I am having an issue in games where the screen will darken then turn off while playing. And force closes in some games; i.e. Angry birds, NFS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
Thanks for the info! However, as the force close only happens on boot then everything works, I'm not going to mess with what isn't broken (completely) plus since I've installed jokers 1.3 kernal, the fc has stopped to about 50% of the time. I can live with that till ICS is stable enough for a daily.

Hey, these things are goin cheap in the Marketplace. Actually there is one with the HD Dock for $250 right now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] violinbf:
I just saw that the Epic 4g was added to the Cyanogenmod mainline. Is there any word on what is holding back the photon? Does this have to do with the fixes for MMS and Youtube?

That's what i wanna know
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Cm9
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
I played with CM9 I can't wait. For now this rom is still my daily driver! Long live CM7 and cybik :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
I'm on Sprint, got this up and working, flashed gapps, then the one with fixed gtalk. YouTube doesn't want to work. It tries to load the video, but won't ever play, and eventually force closes. I thought this bug was only supposed to happen to people not on Sprint?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Are you on wifi when trying to use YouTube
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
You need to swap out the build.prop as suggested in the op. You need root explorer, mount system as R/W and edit your build prop. I suggest you copy your original build.prop to sdcard first. Open it up and you'll see the original sprint proxy. You'll need to change them (proxy/ports) to these values and reboot. When you open root explorer the build prop will be in "system". I hope this makes sense im typing while driving lol.

The end result should look like the pic I attached.
