[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
So joker rom isn't a full rom since I have to flash the sbf first then flash the rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Yes its a full rom, no custom rom will update baseband/radio, so make sure you have flashed 198-7 recently
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Lol blazing fast response there joker!!! Thanks for the great work!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I know people downloaded it, but has anyone tried the bootstrap method with success
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
Ya i already tried flashing alien theme on it. Really screws stuff up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Yea don't do that
[Motorola Photon 4G] fendergrab:
Would it be possible to get the long press volume to skip tracks, like on cm7, integrated into this rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Maybe...

Its most likely part of the music app, pull it, install it, and try it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Ok i wont be near my computer for awhile(cant wait for my lapdock 100 fund to fill,logmein ftw) so if anyone feels like tackling the battery mod, pull the services.jar from framework and add all the extra lines in. Pm me if you need guidance. Some knowledge required.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:
does anyone have the sprint zone.apk.....notice it wasnt installed on the skinny rom and needed it to download sprint tv?
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
yes, I have it
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
You can pull any apk you need from jokerstock rom. In system app.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
How can i figure out If I'm on the right base? I can't remember if i flashed it or not..lol

[Motorola Photon 4G] MinceMan:
Lost my apps but it flashed just fine! Never used bootstrap before, will i always lose my apps? Also does anyone know if a backup program that will restore your apps?
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I actually use Titanium backup, there I can manually restore application or application with saved data of it. No problems at all with moving from one firmware to another.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
Can somebody please post a link to download rsdlite

I personally use Astro File Manager to back up my apps. Works great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
Ok I take the dhd.ko from 1024.zip " which works" and put it in /system/lib/ and zip it back up in skinny4g and try to flash and stuck at "Installing update" in bootstrap recovery.

Not sure if I am doing this right or not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Replace the dhd.ko from within the zip without unzipping if you have issues
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Gallery

Joker,

Can you tell me what you changed in test 3 to fix the gallery? I flashed test 3, but my battery life went the crap. I would take it off at 7:30 and by 11:00 it was dead. Nandriod back to Skinny I have prior and battery is good, but gallery doesn't work. Tried pulling the gallery.apk out of test 3 and putting in, but no dice

Thanks,

Lee
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
you need to let it die the first time then charge it all the way. It takes a few cycles for the battery to be good again
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Tried it for a week.... Maybe I'll wipe data and factory reset first.

BTW Thanks for all you work. If you need anything tested PM me. Little new to the photon. Had an evo prior. (Miss the PC36IMG.ZIP days lol)
[Motorola Photon 4G] s1yder:
Joker's skinny rom is the perfect "stock" rom of all. But i like the battery indicator and the "waiting ring" animation in the Rocco rom. How can I port them to skinny?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You need to flash the battery percentage zip, then flash a theme that has an edited framework and system ui.apk. My back out theme had the battery percent indicator that you are looking for. Not sure regarding spinner.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
What rom would you guys suggest for overall smoothness (US Cellular user)? I'm going keep one of these as a backup in case I need to flash a blur rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I personally have been running Joker's Skinny rev0 with the battery percent mod for the past 2 months. It's smooth and doesn't have any issues. But I'm also unlocked...
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
I'm unlocked as well, on cm7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
My photon has been running Joker Skinny rev1 since it released without any problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] todah09:
Just wanted to confirm that I'm running. Skinny 4g.and my wifi works fine

..
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Installed skinny complete and reverted back to v1.

Fixed battery issue but couldn't get exchange calendar to sync.

I knew the calender had graphical issues but didn't know about the exchange issue. FYI

Btw it's smooth as hell though
[Motorola Photon 4G] mesmerbelly:
R u a uscc customer using rev0?
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
Skinny rev1 Sprint Photon

I use NoLED and it automatically turns off the screen when it's in my pocket using the proximity sensor. The problem is if NoLED has had the screen turned off for a long time the screen does not automatically turn on when I take it out of my pocket. The NoLED dev believes there is a problem with a framework on my phone. Possibly a proximity sensor interval bug?
[Motorola Photon 4G] YzRacer:
Just got home from Afghanistan and I was having problems with my data connection when I touched down (I was running the 1.4 OC Kernel on top of Alien Rom) so it was time to flash. Coming from Alien I decided to do some time with Jokerstock before I try Skinny.

It has been a couple of days now and other than a couple of Gallery FC I haven't experienced any problems. Battery life is a little less than what I was running but that's likely because I didn't have a data connection in Afghanistan. Thanks for all of your work Joker!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
Amazing rom/kernal. Grew some balls and unlocked my bootloader, and wow! Speed is the ish!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
I had the no wifi problem. I reflashed sbf and formatted sd card and all was well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Flashed skinny rev 1. Have the phone plugged in while re-installing apps and the battery is draining LOL WTF?
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Does skinny4g have 1080p recording?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
I can't get web top 1.2b to work with my lap dock. All I get is the screen turning on and off on the lap dock. I'm on jocker complete and I've flashed three times. I did a wiped each time. Am I missing a step?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
What kind of lap dock
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
Lap dock 100
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Pm lokifish
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
Will do.

Thanks for all your work on these Roms. I'm looking forward to cm9. That's why I unlocked- just waiting patiently for camera
[Motorola Photon 4G] yogabuzz:
Please help with gsm, does not work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
This is a stock based rom. GSM works
[Motorola Photon 4G] yogabuzz:
my problem with gsm:

complete shinny v1, and the first boot screen does not pass, -conecting network-, then press OK to activate Handfree and returns to the first screen, and always the same.

Please help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Delete /system/app/SprintOMADM.apk

Doesnt matter delete from zip file and flash again or delete directly after flashing using adb shell
[Motorola Photon 4G] Osirus71:
Can someone PLEASE HEL ME!!! Hello. I am a EVO 3D user. I just got done rooting my friends Photon for him. So I have super user control. Have installed wifi thether and is working great. My problem is, now i want to install the latest clockworrk 5.xxxx and hopefully this custome rom. This is the most confusing forum with threads i have ever come accross....Now im reading about unlock vs locked with sbf'ed 198-7?????? I have no idea what that is. Anyways, can someone tell me the steps to getting im assuming unlocked with the latest clockwork mod and this rom. Also, there is like 4 diffferent vversins on the OP of this rom. I am lost and about to tell my friend hes out of luck.....

thanks in advance for any help.

PS. Im not a noob. Been doing this since my Hero(old school)...but this is one confusing forum.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
Search qbking77 on YouTube or in the Photon forum and you'll find his walkthrough videos.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jortiz12885:
I have a similar question, my phone is unlocked, and rooted it with clockwork mod installed...now it says u need to be using sbf 198-7? i have the file, but should i RUN IT? am already unlocked using the 1mb sbf file from pudding...and i got more confused when i read Rocko Rom's for the locked version u need to be on sbf 198-7 but not for the UNLOCKED, and in this roms you need to be using sbf198-7, so before i run RSD lite 198-7 I just want to make sure i need to do this or not...and i read somewhere back that it will unroot the boot so i will need to gain root access again(SIMPLE) but just need to get this things cleared, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, i will really appreciate it....
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
I do get confused by this too but what I do know is that they want you to RSD lite sbf 198-7 because it updates the radios and most of the recent ROMs are based off of 198-7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jortiz12885:
I guess i will continue with RSD lite sbf 198-7...Thanks.....just wanted to be clear,on the video installation by qbking77 (GREAT TUTORIAL) he didnt mention about the sbf 198-7 since he was unlocked, but on the description of LOCKED rocko ROM is mentioned there....i got it...THANKS
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
This list was wrong. Check my post below for a better list of steps to flash a ROM
[Motorola Photon 4G] jortiz12885:
when u say Unlock been on another sbf u mean the pudding 1Mb file correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
How to flash a Joker ROM on your unlocked Photon as of 1-19-12

1. Download sbf 198_7 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202666

and flash it following this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J94VcWk-CJc

2. Unlock your bootloader (apparently you don't need to have root?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwRjFrzClBs

3. Root and install clockworkmod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJJ0h4d-80

4. Download your preferred ROM and follow this video lightly to flash your ROM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIDwE55CAGw

If this is wrong please tell me so I can edit is ASAP before I confuse other users.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Yes. Check my previous post for a list of steps to flash a ROM on your unlocked Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Actually root is not needed for any of it. The only reason to root is if you are not flashing a custom rom, and want root access, or you are using bootstrap recovery. The custom roms are rooted already.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
I put root and CWM on the same step because qbking77 goes over both in the same video.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BigMoose81:
Not sure if you are still taking requests for this rom, just flashed it today and like it alot, thanks.

A few things I could think of are:

1. The ability to increase the number of pages from 3 to 7 as opposed to a set 3.

2. The ability to group app on a page (as opposed to a new page when there is no more room for another app)

3. Titles for the pages within the apps.

Thanks again for the rom with or without these requests.

EDIT: After playing around it looks like you have already taken care of my first request.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
Hey joker......

Your Rom rocks.......

been running for a week now

Not one hiccup

thanks so much .......
[Motorola Photon 4G] sinsit3r:
hey just ran into a problem. i know it said it takes awhile to install but its been over 10 minutes now and im not seeing any progress from the motorola boot. I installed skinnyrev14g edition on my locked photon using bootstrap after a wiping data, cache, and dalvik. i tried to enter fastboot to see if i had any options thru that and but im getting an error as soon as i plug my phone into my pc. if you have any suggestions or advice its greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. oh btw sorry this is some what new to me since im coming from the evo3d.thanks again!
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Currently running Joker's CM9 Alpha ICS. What exactly would happen if I attempted to flash Skinny over CM9 (used Pudding SBF to unlock and do not have SBF 198-7)?

From what I gathered it means my radios would not work... and I don't understand why it needs to be done through bootstrap?

Also, I would appreciate opinions on which version of Skinny are your favorites...

Please excuse my n00bishness... and thanks for any insight.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Osirus71:
do i need unlocked bootloader with thins rom??

will it disable my 4g????

does this rom have 4g support???

thanks and sorry for the noob questions....Im doing this for a ffriend that has the photon 4g. so ive been kind of confused with wall this. I have the EVO 3D and it is nothing like it is for the photon in rooting and getting a custime rom.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
Unlocking disables 4G, thus all custom ROMs don't have 4G unless they say so, which in that case they can only be flashed with the Bootstrap Recovery method. Qbking77 has a video on that here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktyrF0M91eY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Skinny4G is the only ROM in this thread that is flashed with bootstrap recovery and thus still has 4G.

[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
To install any of the ROMs in the first post (except skinny4G) you need to unlock your bootloader.

You can follow these steps with videos if you want to flash any of the unlocked bootloader ROMs http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21598936

YOU MUTHERPHO's better believe I'm not going to be the only one seeding these either! Even Comcast has a bandwidth limit lol...
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
I got your PM. Locked and unlocked is the bootloader, you lose 4G unlocking and you mentioned in your message you need to keep 4G. If this is the case you can't install CWM, you need to use Bootstrap.apk to flash into a bootstrap recovery instead of CWM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] eibbojtir:
I'd be willing to seed the crap out of this, but there are no seeds right for me to download the files. Chicken and the egg, you know? Damnit, Megaupload!

[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:

First time I flashed, it took me 9 mins, 32 seconds.

Second time was 7:57 so it looks like it varies.

I would wait 15 max though, then there's just something plain wrong.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cavey8500:
ok thanks man, i started flashing, then it took a while,(not sure when i started) i waited 5 more min and pulled the battery, then restored, ill try it again once i get to school, normaly the instructors late anyways.. haha

Anyone else having problems trying to pull down the notification bar during a phone call?

[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
ok, so I've pretty much ran Jokerstockrev1 almost exclusively since it was released. I stayed away from the skinny releases because I really liked the Moto Home. I no longer care as I FINALLY switched launchers that I like. So....

Today, I decided to try out jokercomplete-v1. the only issue I see is calendar activesync & the calendar '4GHI' display issue. Is there a fix for either issue? The OP says some calendar issue was fixed in the previous beta, but it's unclear what was fixed. do I have some setting wrong or ???.

thx for the hard work Joker!
[Motorola Photon 4G] geova87:
Hye Jocker.... I really like the stock rom, but can you please fix the Motorola Contact Widget? Everytime I try to add it I get a FC.

[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
there are too many versions. Skinny complete v1 is latest and greatest, right? :) (i'm photon noob. sorry)
[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
is is the latest, but not necessarily the greatest. the calendar has issues. joker never posted the fix before he moved on to CM9 development. I found everything else worked perfect in skinny complete v1.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mujju85:
friends i hav tried all unlocked version of this rom but after booting this rom during contating network hands free activation comes when i click ok same contating networks start again plz help how to solve this issue :confused:

Joker, is Speedy Script useful in your JokerStockV1? or are the changes redundant to your own mods?

[Motorola Photon 4G] TriCkYiCe:
I'm using CM 7.2 (Was on Joker v1 locked, but missed some stuff from CM on my Evo, so unlocked and went with CM7).

1. Can I use Joker's Kernel(s) with CM7 or are they blur only?

2. Can I use Joker's battery percentage tweak with CM or are they incompatible? I prefer the battery icon with percentage inside, and I'm not sure if I can flash a tweak for that on CM7 -- if not Joker's tweak, is there one for CM7 that anyone's aware of?

I'm posting this here because it's Joker's tweaks I wanted to use -- if it should be somewhere else, Mods please have your way with my post.

Thanks for any advice!
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You can select battery percentage in cm7 settings...

There are a couple of choices from Joker's stable kernels that you can use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1323710. I'm using the Top Quark kernel (OC to 1.4) and have not had a single glitch. Joker also has a thread for test kernels that I have not tried with CM7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MisterTedster:
I've searched all over this thread but no one has this issue.

I'm getting FCs on several apps and they're not location-based like other folks have been having. This is strange because these apps ran just fine before I flashed and I was running the same rom.

I just flashed Skinny4G last night and so far I can't run:

Skinny's a really sweet rom...pair it with the 1.4oc kernel...really nice...very low on resources....I think I was only using something like 160mb ram last time I had it all set up with widgets, email and all..
[Motorola Photon 4G] epitome3:
EDIT: Never mind. Found the kernel link and figured out I have to unlock.

Do I need to unlock the bootloader to use the 1.4oc kernel? Or do I just have to be rooted?

Lol never mind too

Unlock
