Flashed skinny4g but is only showing 2 fingers on multitouch test. Anything I'm missing?

On _7 locked rooted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Flash multitouchmod
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
I was able to use voice command to make a call but I am unable to now. Could it be because I moved from jokerrev1 to skinny? Looking forward t skinny rev2. :-) Great work!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
I did. Thought it was included.
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Is this supposed to be deodexed? Showing .odex under system/framework?

Had the same issue when flashing yays zip.

Is this due to flashing via bootstrap? I relocked for 4gees. Do I need to unlock again?

I flashed skinny4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Yep im working on fixing that. I found a special tweak that makes odexing pointless. Hehe
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Ok thought I was going crazy for a moment.

Maybe another recommendation would be to remove preinstalled swype.

I appreciate all your work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
Hello all, I'm new to the Electrify but not to Android or rooting, etc. Yet I think I made a boo boo. I recently downloaded this ROM but to my later dismay, I downloaded the Photon version and I have an Electrify. Once I realized this, I restored my backup and am back up and running but only have 1X service, no 3g. :( I'm hoping someone knows for if there is a fix for this? Did I inadvertently flash a Spring radio or something? Thank for any help!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
Im assuming your with uscc. Dial *228. It will re provision your phone and should fix it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I know you are a happy camper! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
What makes you say that, the fact that I was roaming around work trying to get my phone working? Haha it was a stressful bit because the last thing I wanted to do was go back to US Cellular to get a different phone because of some bineheaded mistake I made. Either way, as soon as I get home, I'm going to try the ELECTRIFY version lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] dave0812:
is the electrify version working?
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
I was going to ask the same thing, I can't even get it to install. Just keeps saying installation aborted. :-(
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I ll fix it soon hopefully
[Motorola Photon 4G] dave0812:
No rush. I appreciate the effort. Not alot of developers on this side
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Ive been super busy so i may release some small patches to hold people over till i get the chance to dd 198-7 system.img as it stands many of the issues can be fixed by redeodexing 198-7. I just gotta find time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
If u read a few pages back there is a fix for the installation aborted, but it will bootloop. Cant connect to get a logcat. Hard for him to test without an electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] casper97ta:
I flashed the locked skinny version and im getting FC when I click on any contact name
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
That happened to me when I was running the stock rom before. Wasn't rooted or anything and I still don't know why it was doing that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] casper97ta:
I actually figured it out today, It was FC because of some things I had frozen with TB. no problems since. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Joker,

I don't think the locked rom flashes correctly. doesn't look like it wipes system or data. reunlocked bootloader and worked great. Flashed skinny 4g actually then flashed new kernel to fix wifi.

Big difference between flashes. While locked I didn't even see new boot animation or new transitions.

If you want me to test let me know.

Lovin the ROM btw
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Try manually formatting data and system in bootstrap. Then flash. If it works ill update op
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Ok, I've finally made the leap and unlocked my bootloader. Now, which rom should I install... jokerstock or skinny?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I'd go with Skinny Rev1
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Cool. For what reason(s)?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Cause its awesome?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Less crap more win
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
LOL... and I need to convert to ext4 to get the speed boost, right? If so, how do I do that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] wisconsinated:
Excited for the electrify rom fix! Cant wait to install your rom, joker
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
You don't have to, but you just flash it through clockwork.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Soon, im in kernel mode atm, ill fix it once i finish updating my kernels. Btw anyone can attempt to fix it go for it. I can even guide i just have little time at home but im always mobile. Really i need someone with an electrify that can build and test, it would make keeping everything up to date alot easier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Use one of my test kernels and convert inside the advanced menu in cwm 5
[Motorola Photon 4G] wisconsinated:
No prob bro, your only one man, i wish i knew something about it i would help you out

Edit, btw if anybody needs a tester for the electrify who would like to help build, ill sign up to test it
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Would I notice a "tremendous" increase in speed if I did convert to ext4 or is the speed difference more subtle?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:

[Motorola Photon 4G] iamanonymous:
Any idea how to get the crt screen off animation back after using spare parts?

Also while we're on the subject of spare parts is there a way to make it actually save the font size selection after reboot? It keeps resetting. Or is there a better program for font size?

Is there anyway I can flash the screen off animation?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Turn the window animations and transition animations back to normal to get the crt screen off animation. I'm assuming you put them on fast with spare parts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Joker - im having a problem updating my prl and profile with stock joker rom. It just says "contacting network" and never does anything. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
just for some clarification, the kernels are included in the rom now right? sorry if this is a stupid question, I'll admit I'm somewhat of a noob to flashing. So any help is greatly appreciated :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bridic:
Yes, 1.3 oc kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
Is 1.45 stabl E yet?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Try the testing thread
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Just flashed skinnyrev1 ... WOO HOO!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Now do you understand what i was saying? Gratz!!! lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, there is zero lag between screens which is very nice and I love that all of the bloat has been removed.

The auto-brightness setting seems much dimmer than on stock. Is that intentional or is that just my eyes playing tricks on me?

Is there anyway to have the camera launch a different gallery by default since the stock one is broken on this ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
Yes, it is dimmer than normal. There's a flashable fix in the OP to set the brightness back to stock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Thanks, going to do that right now. What is the multitouch mod about?
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
The multitouch mod allows the screen to detect up to 8 fingers compared to 2 (stock) but the edges of the screen do not respond to touches thus inhibiting keyboard use.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I use Quickpic for pictures, you can't have the camera launch it though. You can set it for the default when viewing pictures. I was using this before I put a rom on my phone cause the stock gallery is a cluster **** and this app organizes your pictures nicely. And yes I had to use the auto brightness undo also. I don't have any issues with the 8 point multi touch.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
How would using 8 fingers at the same time be useful?

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Yes, I've been using Quickpic for pictures AND videos and it seems pretty good. What are you using to play videos?

So far, I haven't had any problems with the 8 point multi-touch either, I think. I haven't noticed any non-responsive areas on my screen. If I do, I now know what to do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I just use the stock video player.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
More swords in Fruit Ninja.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Understandable. Any use outside of games?

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

When I connect my phone to my computer, I should still be able to see both the internal AND external sdcards, right? Currently, I am only able to see the external one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Yeah both internal and external should show up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
That's weird... not for me! I just rebooted my phone with no luck. I'll reboot my computer too and let's see what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Would anyone care if i made the phone scream really loud as its booting up in skinny2
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I would like a boot up sound, but it depends on what you make it scream lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
Please make the boot sound optional. I have needed to reboot my phone at the library or at night and I'd hate for my phone to be screaming during that time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Yes it will be optional
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Something super funny to me but awkward/embrassing to people rebooting there phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Same here!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Skinny 2 will not be based on 198-7, it will be newer if i dont brick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
Do you have any plans for an ics ROM? Or are we just going to hold out for a possible cm9 release. Great work joker!!

Sidenote: the Spongebob episode where Patrick and Spongebob are on the boat with the flying Dutchmen and Patrick keeps saying leydle leydle leydle would be a cool sound : p
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Send me a copy
[Motorola Photon 4G] xfr3386:
How long does skinny-rev1 typically take to boot after flashing it? It sat for quite while and made me nervous, then i finally saw a blue square android animation and felt relieved. Then it rebooted and now it's been about 20 minutes on the dual core screen no reboots. Should I continue to be patient or is something hosed?

I did upgrade to 197 and I am unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
jokerstock2-alpha uploading, 4gees ftw
[Motorola Photon 4G] pastert33:
Edit: answered in another thread! GREAT work!!

You got 2g/3g working??
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yayya, can I get an f5? Booya!:):D
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
joker.. cmon man.. why you doing this to all these poor people.. multipload? pfft gimme a sec to pm ya ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
im uploading from the phone, my house internet sucks around this time of day. if anyone calls i have to restart so its 3g upload. its like waiting for death. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] chibucks:
LOL. too funny. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xfr3386:
Regarding my post on it freezing: I never did get it working and just reflashed 198_7.

Given that you are about to release some goodness I will have to wait.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
why is everyone waiting, its posted
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Down loading now. Thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
This thread is about to be in a uproar in 3-2-1....go!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Made op less confusing
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Booted up, cant test 4g until I leave for work in about a hour. Setting it up now, I'll let you know how it goes joker.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Unless I'm not getting a good signal 4g is not really working for me. Under the 4g menu I see "Sprint" come up and disappear repeatedly(normally won't appear at all before) with a signal strength of -9999 dBm.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
I'm flashing skinny4g thru bootstrap and my rom isn't changing whatsoever(I am rooted and Locked)... isn't it suppose to wipe data as well? I look in About Phone and find no trace of proof i'm on skinny. I'm lost here... any insight? is there anything that would prove i'm on skinny (even tho i'm pretty sure i'm not)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I dont have 4g in my area so all i tested was the modem turning on. Which is the magic key we needed
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
If you go into the settings>About Phone and scroll down to build number it should say skinnyrev or something, but I don't recommend flashing any roms via bootstrap
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
You could enable it before and it would say it was on it but you would just never see a network. This can see the network but can't actually connect.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Mine scanned pulled info. Saw a blink of a clearwire network.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
And before it wouldnt initialize
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
Love your work joker!!! Hope to see you work on ICS soon!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Mine scans and finds the network but can't connect, it could when locked. On previous unlocked stock rom it would not find the network but could scan. So in that sense it is better, but it looks like it is failing to authenticate or something still.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
thanks, yeah i'm def not on skinny... sad...

So this means i have to go thru the tedious retain 4g process of root, unlock, install real cwm, flash rom, backup in real cwm, flash stock sbf which unroots and relocks, root again, install bootstrap and nanrestore thru bootstrap... does that look right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
I would just forget about the 4g, but that's just me...

I believe there is a write up on retaining 4g once u installed a custom ROM
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I may have a fix for that, i need more people to. Confirm first
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
for me, when unlocked, 4G would turn on but never fully connect on any previous rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
Give Joker some time.....

I'm sure it will be up and running flawlessly soon
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
i can't stream sports n such on this horrid 3g sprint provides, its hard to say goodbye to 4G for me :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
4G doesn't really matter to me, maybe if it worked when inside buildings and such I would care.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Actually what I said was not completely correct, it is no different than before, it can scan and see the network but can't connect.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pastert33:
Mine seems to be what was described above. Sees sprint network but never connects.
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
Those are alot of steps!

Are you still locked??

If you did not lock your bootloader your wifi should work without all those steps...

Just return to stock rom

Its the bootloader that breaks the 4 geeeee's
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
It could be a programming issue. Try going into the ##data# and see if everything is right. It may also be because we are using test keys. Easy fix
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
If it was a programming issue wouldn't 3G also be broken?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
No there programmed separately. Thats how i had 4g but no 3g. Until i can get to a 4g area im going to be relying on you guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
yes i'm still locked... i had no issues with wifi.. my issue was skinny4g not showing up after i flash thru bootstrap... ugh, too lazy to unlock flash blah blah blah restore relock blah blah...

one day someone will take a shot at recracking the bootloader to save 4G.. i hope.

thanks for your help poopies
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
kk, re-flashing, FYI in order to actually test 4g i have to go outside my dorm :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Maybe you should read some. If the bootloader breaks 4g then how do i have 4g while unlock
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Look around.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
What should i be looking for exactly? are there any specific setting that may need to be manually programed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I dont know yet. This is the first time we had 4g on an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
So did 4G actually work for you because i don't see any differences in its behavior in comparison to unlocked stock? Also it won't accept my MSL in the ##data# edit menues and i'm pretty sure i'm using the right one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
you said you don't have 4g where you live... even while unlocked it will show the 4g icon in the notif bar, will scan but will not fully connect.

I'm not hatin', i really appreciate your hard work joker. I may just unlock to enjoy what people are saying about your rom and forget about 4g as much i can
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
This may be a dumb question but to those flashing this is your BL UNLOCKED????

I can't flash this right now to test but I have ****ty 3G at work and great 4G.
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
A couple of forums have said its the bootloader that borks the 4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Ok i have 4g a few miles away. But the issue before is the 4g modem driver would fail. The new rom fixes that. I have spent alot of time researching and testing how wimax works. I narrowed it down to what was going wrong. Now that part is fixed but this rom is 254 without the new radio. All the software is written for the new radio. I think the activation issue is software related. Im hoping that replacing some files from 198 will fix most issues and some edits for the rest. If you wish to diy be my guest. Just dont replace the wrong stuff or youll bootloop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Oh I know that but some may have not and tried to....You know the have you turned it off and on again phrase....

Yes and this is what the fix is supposed to do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I know its not activating through the network. Thats a separate issue from wimax
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Yes

No, it's not. Well at least not by itself that is, if you flash the bootloader to a photon that has not gone through the fastboot-oem-unlock procedure wimax will work perfectly(this indicates the bootloader at least by itself is functional). However as soon as you do the fastboot-oem-unlock procedure it will no longer work(this also permanently burns a fuse so that whenever the pudding bootloader is present it will be unlocked and 4g will be broken)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Okay lets clear some air. The bootloader does not bork wimax. Its a driver/software issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Just wondering, have you tried building off of the 1FF-sunfire-eng-2.3.3-4.5.1A-1_SUN-93-BP0117UP-test-keys-Sprint-US.sbf file?

How is that different from what was happening before? It could activate the radio enough to see the wimax network before, but would appear to fail when connecting/authenticating. When activating with sprint I have never had to do anything specifically for wimax.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Okay i found the problem, the wimax is working but not activated. If you go to ##data# then wimax youll see the username is wrong. Also the msl is wrong. This is because the phone isnt activating thru sprint. Get it to activate and bam.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
I think you are right, the login info is wrong in your rom, but I can't change it since my MSL won't work to edit it in your ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
So boot loader unlock does not have functional driver for 4g, but this ROM does?
[Motorola Photon 4G] chibucks:
Reprovision?
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
I did a profile update to "activate" the phone but it gave me a "fatal_error". So a phone call to Sprint to activate it should work :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
If you have your MSL and the ESN is on your account i don't see what sprint could do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Its not taking it
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
3g is broken, right now its on 1x till i/someone fixes the activation issue. its partly activated
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
3G works for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
for those willing to try to fix this. start pulling radio/activation related apks from 198-6/7 or any joker rom. some apks will bootloop so dont just pull everything. the reason this rom is different is because its designed for unlocked bootloaders. the wimax drivers and all, but activation is obviously different.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
to those donating, i denied you. please specify why you are donating. if it is for 4g unlock i will not be accepting any donations for 4g unlock until people actually have working data with wimax. i fixed one step but still have several more to go. if you are donating for the leak/work/whatever those would be greatly appreciated. just please specify why you are.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Wtf....no 4g but my 3g is 2-3mb down 1mb up!! Thats a miracle!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] iamanonymous:
I live where 4g is plentiful. I was unable to get 4g to stay connected. It kept cycling on/off/searching. Prl and data profile would not update. Phone activated ota but I had no cell signal after trying network updates. Got 3g speeds while all this was happening. I'd say you're really onto something. I like all the tools being included. Please let us know what you find.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Same exact problems here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I got a little further but ran into a weird issue, wimax connects and passes all info to sprint, but fails because the key comes back wrong. Wimax uses a security key that prevents other devices from connected. This is our next hurdle. The bootloader is a different number, but i have remote access to an engineering phone with proper unlocked bootloader is in that sbf but is unflashable. Im currently looking into maybe spoofing the bootloader id or possibly using a different key. We're getting closer. At least we have 2.3.5 early with every diagnostic tool we ever wanted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Is this the same RSA key problem we thought was happening before? From what I know about the engineering phone wasn't it having the exact same wimax problem we were having? Which diagnostics tools did you find useful for the wimax debugging btw?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Looks like this version has some issues, yay has stated he will try to get a user sbf. Apparently the build isnt ready so ive been asked by yay, per motorola, to pull the project till he gets the user sbf. I will attempt to get a user sbf as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
So is yay supposed to have a build where wimax actually works with no modifications?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
skinny4g11/9/11 rev1 locked bootloaders only wipes data

this is everything that skinnyrev1 is but without the custom 1.3 oc kernel. its untested at the moment.

flash this in bootstrap.

CAN WE USE THIS WITH 198_6 or have to be 198_7? just got my photon rooted with cwm bootstrap wanting to try it but not sure exactly how sorry if this is a repeated question. thanks for an answer.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Either works
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
so I flashed in recovery but I can't tell anything is different only thing I can tell thats changed is now I have zeam launcher
[Motorola Photon 4G] tetrabyt:
1.3 preuv kernel works nicely with this. So far.

Jokerstock 2-alpha

Only issue so far, is internal and external storage isn't mounted...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bridic:
I am using the 1.4 oc kernel and i am not having any big issues...if any at all. Make sure you wipe everything before flashing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dougm0:
Has anyone asked some of the devs from the Evo development side of the house as to what they did when they unlocked the Evo bootloader to keep Wimax? Maybe something similar could be done for the Photon?

(Not a dev so please dont flame me as I am a n00b to development)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Feel free to ask and report back or refer one of them to joker or yay.

Also... "yoga flame!!!"

You have been flamed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
It would not appear to be related. Unlocking the EVO bootloader itself does not break 4G.
