Nice to see a lurking dev finally appear. Keep up the good work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
damn it, i actually liked the long version of your post :P

Trying to. That world-type radio won't behave!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
say what? I didn't back up any of that schtuff ever. I actually have some issues with my baseband as it is: when i call, it starts the call, "hangs up", but continues to establish the call. On another phone it doesn't do that (but the provider is EDGE+UMTS3G)

I also notice that google apps from august don't contain google talk with videochat,but you can easily replace the old one with new from others roms

The only problem I've run into is my Motorola S305's do not play audio when connected with Bluetooth. They pair fine, but they just don't work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
you need to flash the newtalk pack of the same date after flashing the google apps.

I can use my bluetooth headset just fine. Maybe somethings wrong with your headset?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nextlevel_44:
Awesome job on this rom I didn't realize how much I missed cm. So far only things I've noticed are not so stellar bat life, one random soft reboot, and the brightness toggle in the pull down notification doesn't cycle through it only turns up brightness then stops working.

And I am on sprint

Bugs/Findings

Hello guys

I want to report my results with this nice rom:

1) Whenever I was trying to install this rom in the past the phone was on loop rebooting and rebooting on the Moto logo, I figured out what was my problem, I was installing with the system recovery app, so, to fix it, I had to install recovery mode from ADB and then it worked!, maybe this can help somebody with the same issue. :)

2) Bugs, these are the list of apps that doesn't work for me:

- Firefox

- Opera mini

- Google+

- Facebook

- Gmail

- Waze

- Google talk

- Shift (game)

- Apparatus (game)

- Antutu benchmark

- Many apps couldn't be restored with titanium backup (not sure if rom's issue)

3) Performance/Battery lyfe

It's flying !!! That's bottom line. I ran some quadrants test before and after, before about 2400 now average 3500!!!. Linpack single thread now 45 multi-thread 55 now, before I didn't have any test... sorry. Battery life, great! Today I checked it had 1 day 8 hours and some minutes and stil had 41% left, I will post some pick of my bechmarks and battery life later on. Boot time, about 2 minutes with old stock rom, with new rom, about 30 seconds.

So far so good with this ROM, it's way better that stock, no doubt about that; thank you for making this great effort and keep it up with the nice work, regards.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
- Android Firefox sucks! :P

- Opera? meh

- Google+ I use daily.

- Google Talk is part of the Google Apps pack you need to install

- Unknown

- Unknown

- Unknown

- I blame titanium!
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
For browsing yes, but for downloading files from file sharing sites (apk specifically) it does what stock and dolphin most of the time cannot. :)

Also, flashplayer doesn't seem to display video properly. Sound comes thru fine but the video gets screwed w/lines all over it. YouTube from web browser, check it out.

8. all work if you'll give some magic to settings in titanium about sdcards and finding backups
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbearmi:
Just an update here.

Been using this since last weekend and I have to say it is very awesome. It has been the most fast, stable OS I've had on the Photon bar none. All of the apps that were listed as not working work fine for me, including Firefox. I don't have a need for the webtop since I have a perfectly fine ultrabook. The speed is remarkable and the battery life is also incredible. Seriously, I'm getting about 18 hours on a battery. I can use it all day and just drop it on the charger at night. This is how it should be.

What do you need to get this as an official Cyanogen build? Thank you so much Cybik. You rock! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Battery life is my only complaint of this rom, can't tell what's causing the drain. Its not horrible, just not great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
By the way, I have flashed roms many times on the photon, and have never reset battery .

[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Battery life must be a mile may very type thing. Def not getting that kind of hours. But I'm confident it will get better down the road
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
You must of talked on the phone all day to get that percentage. lol. How many minutes of talk does it show.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
agree about battery. 24% down for 6 hours of night.hm...

Where you get the animations from
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Almost 3 hrs. Using bluetooth. Some days I don't have 1 phone call all day, and then some days are like this at work. That's the biggest difference on battery life I have noticed over stock. It doesn't drain as fast making phone calls using cm7.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342117

I followed this and pushed the framework-res with root explorer.. If you want i can give you the apk so you don't have too do all the work..

Only thing is rotation animation doesn't work..

When you use root explorer make sure you have your custom framework-res.apk renamed and permissions set before you rename the other one..or you'll just be frozen

[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
Well I've been running this on sprint and so far its been perfect.only thing is I had to move alot of stuff around cuz of the SD card and internal storage being all messed up.. and one bug I found is that when u connect ur phone to the charger while its off it'll be really glitchy when it turns back like a bunch of colors flashing all weird and eventually it turns off..pretty annoying. I'd also like to report that I got Sprint visual voicemail to work
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
KNEW IT COULD WORK. HA.

Thanks bro :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Apk would be fine :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
for some reason it breaks mms .. let me find the problem and ill post it in a bit

baseband fix for working with USSD codes. If you'll check the Atrix thread, they are flashing custom baseband for working USSD codes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Since the nov 8th update that fixed the sdcard (and added the sprint eri) this rom will no longer roam on the electrify. It roamed and connected fine with the Nov 6th version (but no sdcard) also you cant seem to change it from home only on wireless system select so that may be the issue.. (in fact i think that is the issue)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
DATA... cause for some reason u lose your apn settings and u can't access them through voice dial just forceclose.. so after putting in the framework-res.apk reboot then cwm wipe data reboot u should be good applying the apn settings again!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ok2much11:
Second this. It goes nuts!
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
That's a good way to put it lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
A better way to put it would be:

It acts like an epileptic monkey on acid at a rave consisting of entirely strobe lights..

I can confirm this also.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Guess every phone is different.

I don't have that issue. Can connect via USB, charger and dock and no acid flash backs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Phone has to be off when u plug it in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
I see....looks like the glitch from the amonRa recovery kernel on the evo, sorta but worse lol.

I never turn my phone off so never noticed before.

Wifi Issues on newest build

Hi everyone,

First, congrats cybik on the first and best CM7 port for Photon. It seems to be a very promising effort towards a full CM7 support for the device.

I am experiencing WiFi issues. I leave WiFi on as I am overseas and 3G is hard to come by. My WiFi regularly disconnects with this rom (every time the screen locks), and to get it working again, I need to completely turn off Wifi and turn it back on. It will not reconnect to the Wifi network unless I do this (or reboot the phone).

Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

I am running Skype in the background, and I am on a GSM network without data.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] turl1:
Nice description of the issue haha

https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team/a...olympus/blob/gingerbread/init.olympus.rc#L365

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

If you want it to stick on, check wifi settings -> menu button -> advanced -> sleep policy

@cybik if the wifi chip is the same, I suppose you could give some use to this too https://github.com/turl/atrix-wifi-module/commit/d582c6c66a0ecb16710b3b7baab8bdd566569c64
[Motorola Photon 4G] wintrxtrem:
I have the same wifi issue and mine is always set to never sleep. Had same problem with stock ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I can confirm, the issue is everywhere but I found the solution. I installed juicedefender and chose there disable to manage wifi. And now wifi is not leaving the phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I'll be trying both, thanks turl!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
I know this is asking a lot, but is there any chance of bringing a version out of the rom without the sprint ERI in it, so us uscellular electrify owners can roam again? Im sure the f★cks are low, but i figured i’d ask, unless you are fixing the system select for cdma being stuck on home only, in which case ill shut the hell up.. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I have an idea or two about this, but

- I don't know if it would work or not

- One idea would be to try and put it on "CDMA ONLY" mode using the *#*#info#*#* panel

- Another hinges on having a network mode selector directly inside the Settings, since I theoratically have the combination for CDMA+roaming per what MotoStock uses

- I am at a all-time low on my stock of f!cks and it's pissing me off.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Using the info code and setting it to CDMA ONLY loses 3g. Dunno if the roaming issue is fixed (I can try that later) but side effect is that I only get 1x access.

When I took my son home this morning, I have to travel thru a roaming area, so to check it wasn't me, I reloaded the Nov 6th build, and that had service everywhere. When I dropped him off at school I reloaded the Nov 8th build, and no service in roaming areas.. Bloody odd if u ask me!! :D

At any rate I'm still using it as its a million times better than motoblur..

::EDIT if I set to EVDO only I get 3G... weird...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
I'm having a new shipment of f#cks sent to you. Wasn't sure if you liked big f%cks or small f^cks, but figured any f*ck would do in the mean time.

The f@cks I ordered weren't Amazon Prime eligible though, so I had to go with the "When ever" shipping method....hopefully you'll get them soon.

In the mean time....ahhh screw it im outta F!cks too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
I found a way to get service in roaming areas. I turned international roaming data on and wham roaming started to work.

[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
Idk if this has been brought up before, but when I enabled wifi, it borked my 3g connection and now I can't get it back. I've wiped regular and dalvik caches and still nothing. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Maybe a reflash. I had this problem on my first flash. I then did a full wipe, data and all. Then flashed latest version, booted, flashed gapps, booted, flashed google + gapps, booted, did the apn fix, and now it works fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
If you have re-flashed and wiped already then you may want to try and nandroid back to the stock ROM, it could have switched itself into GSM mode and you may need to switch it back to CDMA. I think that is currently the only way to switch back to CDMA
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
An aosp rom to hold us over until the cm team gets a stable cm9
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
You were right about the GSM thing. Restored a backup from before cm7 and was able to change back to automatic. Thanks.

On a side note, probably gonna stick with homebase until joker has a cm7 kernel for us. With a joker kernel, my phone will be able to do what I want it to do before I do it lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] edgemaster191:
Couldn't you try *#*#4636#*#* and change it from GSM to CDMA in there?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Didn't work when I tried it when mine got stuck in GSM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
ok was just wondering if he was still trying to get this ROM stable and merged into CM7 or just gonna drop it and wait for cm9
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
To all ze naysayers, I'll say this:

Well... Unusable. But it ran.

Am i supposed to get GSM out of the box ? Cause whatever settings i tried in the network mode : automatic home only and the other one, it doesn't give me gsm signal
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
gsm out of the box, try GSM Auto (PRL). Should be working.

Can someone clarify what is meant by HDMI mirroring sucks balls?

Does it not work at all? Is it just too slow or small to be worth it?

I watch videos all the time with it so I would appreciate knowing what to expect before I flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
If you need it don't flash this...if you do flash this and can't get it to work, download TeamWins HDMwIn from the market and use it to mirror - its clunky but works 93% of the time - with the exception of audio, I only got audio to work once. But I have my Surround has Analog in, so I used that for audio at the time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
have you tried it? is it working for cdma or are we waiting for mrinehart93?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
HDMI or....?
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
What do u mean HDMI? I don't know if this is what u mean but I'm in new York I have a cdma handset
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
The port on the side if the phone under the micro USB/charge port is an HDMI port that lets you mirror the phones display on a TV.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Yes I have that
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Well, it doesn't work well. ..
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
I think he meant is this rom working for CDMA which I believe the answer is yes, I am just too busy to deal with my phone right now so I am still locked.

Blame Sprint for that, their nVidia utility libraries (for hardware decoding) force the use of a ****ing sprint proxy. I don't like it. >:-[

dude. I would have replied the SAME.

it was mentionned a couple of pages back: I have reverted the SDCARD mounting "order" to the "good" one instead of the "bad" one. SDCARD was "internal" memory, now it is the external, and internal is emmc.

As wintrxtrem politely said, "read the thread". He was polite and you douchedissed his answer as "****ing classy *****".

I'm sure you already thought about this but did you try grabbing the utilities from the electrify?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
might be a good idea. Can ANYONE send me the /system/build.prop of an electrify? (or put it in a pastebin)

though, the issue with taking that specific lib from the electrify means that i have to re-"pull" (of sorts) all the libs, 'cause it's going to have some magic to not permit me to drop the thing in directly.
