Has much progress been made with the Electrify? I see in the op it still says waiting for someone to test, I'm willing to help out. Just let me know what to do.

Sent from my CM7 Unlocked Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Well someone got skinnyrev2-test3 going so once I get time to finalize ill have a full electrify build
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
I've been running skinnyrev2-test3 since it was posted and I haven't had any issues. I'm running it with 1.4-newoc-240-325-300. Thanks Joker.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
this is the only rom that I can use if i only have bootstrap correct?

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.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Well you could try skinnyrev2 by unzipping, replacing the meta-inf folder with the 4g one and rezipping
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
is there to verify if the rom was successful? the only difference im seeing in my phone is zeam launcher nothing in the settings with your name on ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Try formatting system in mounts then flash
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
just format system, i wipe cache as well but not data ?

well the rom name show up in settings

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

never mind its working after formatting system and wiping cache thanks :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
This issue seems common, so ill pull my old superwipe stuff and port it to the photon. Gonna burn those pesky ghost files once and for all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
I have a Electrify and I was able to get skinnyrev2 test 3 up and running, what I did was:

Download the skinny electrify and the newest skinnyrev2.

In the skinnyrev2 zip go into system, then app delete SprintOMADM.apk

Take the build.prop in system in the skinny electrify zip and put it in the system folder in skinnyrev2 zip.

Should boot up then, it may come up with a 4G Icon, to get rid of it I went into Wireless & Networks and clicked 4G Enable/Disable and it got rid of it.

Only thing I see that doesn't currently work is MMS, but it isn't a deal breaker for me since I don't get many of those. Other than that, Rom works great and is super fast. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] MCHouston:
It works with other ROMs even previous Joker ROMs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Skinny rev1, mobile hotspot doesn't work for some reason, it starts, my laptop wants to connect but it can't connect (probably DHCP problems). any suggestion?

I remember that I had no problems with stock firmware
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Use wifi tether its a root app
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Thanks for idea, I found app that works normally (root required too), called Barnacle wifi tether
[Motorola Photon 4G] MCHouston:
While testing I noticed when you use the dialer to dial *2 you get an FC. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
(⊙_⊙)
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
Yeah *2 borks it, glad I don't use that number. Haha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MCHouston:
Weird problem I will agree. *3 and *4 works, but *2 kills it. Maybe the phone just doesnt want you to call Sprint Customer Support. Not a big problem but just something I noticed while testing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Seriously, *2 calls customer service
[Motorola Photon 4G] stricklerjosh:
That worked for me to. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] stricklerjosh:
Now that I got it on my phone my wifi is broken. Says error. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
Try reflashing a new kernel, I had luck with that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MCHouston:
Yup thats the free no minutes used way to call Customer Service.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stricklerjosh:
What kernel can I flash if not unlocked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I don't think you can
[Motorola Photon 4G] stricklerjosh:
When I go to wifi it says error and won't let me even turn it on.

Edit: unrooted using the 198_7. Wifi is fine now. Gonna stick with stock for a while. Thanks for all your help guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
Sorry about that didn't realize that you weren't unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
got it to flash on my photon doing that method as well. also getting the wifi error other than that seems like its great any idea of a ix for wifi or is this a known unresolved issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Semseddin:
It is a known and unresolved issue yet. I blame sprint software embedded into official photon roms.

@Jokersax,

Great rom, brings so many over stock. Did you find time to look at Multilanguage support for the rom ? Thank you bro.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Not yet
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Can someone do me a favor on new skinny2 and see if you still get force closing apps? For one in perticular- Paralell Kingdom? I need motos crap to work with my lapdock but it would be nice to use that other 1/4th that I can't use
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
does it force close on startup? I downloaded it and started but didn't want to create an account. I'm on skinny test3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
As a matter of fact i bit.the bullet and installed it and i have to say WOW! no issues what so ever games downloaded wifi functional i havent even installed setcpu yet again and this thing is kickin ass! Thanks joker!

Edit: ubuntop is untouched no issues:)

Sent from my Mophukin Photon runnin CM7, One.Four OC like a Boss...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Joker can you point me in the right direction on this? I'm trying to change the pentile effect on the photon. Want to minimize it as much as possible... I know its not possible to achieve iphone status with it but I know there's something we could do to reduce its effect. Ill be the pig on this one even if it costs!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
OK well search and research all display based mods on phones with pentile. Ogsgs should be a good starting point. Voodoo color is an example. Next look into what could be changed. What can't be changed, and how to reduce the shifting effect while changing pixel types. Also research pentile. That should give you a good starting point.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
Have you tried just editing your APNS?

I had to do this all the time when I was with USCC & nTelos
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
Yeah, I tried but after I changed it, it just disappears.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Replace the apn files with the electrify ones
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
Where are they located at?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
System/etc

Also ##data# change mms settings
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Is it going to be safe deleting all the odex files using root explorer in skinny4G?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
is there a fix for wifi not working ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
I switched the apn files with no luck, and when I do ##data# it asks for a password.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Wipe system manually then reflash
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
What kernel were you using?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
STOCK, rooted using bootstrap to flash skinnyrom
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Skinny4g or skinny
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
skinny4g the first rev
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Try wiping system then flash
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
I seem losing battery at 2% a min. (not an over exaggeration)

Skinny rev2 test3

1.3

only installed apps are the zeam update / root explorer / xda pro.

its insane. I'm sure its something to do with my phone and not your rom but it doesnt do it on cm7 stock or jokerstock.

other than that this thing is amazingly fast .
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jmaserang:
I flashed stockrev0 last night its by far the best mopho rom out there. I will be trying skinny rev2 today. Thanks for all of your hard work joker
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
I did that when i first installed the rom to get it running lol. Wifi just errors out!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Something else is wrong because the wifi should work what version were you on before 154-5 or 198-6/7
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
198_7 i nan back to my backup with stock rooted with 1 theme on and wifi is working , I havent tried flashing your rom again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
I am on skinny rev2 test 3. Can we flash any of you kernels with this? The 1.4 high pro has worked great for me. No issues.

One more thing, this may not be ROM related but I cannot dial from my Bluetooth anymore. Usually I can hold down the button, it ask for a command and the phone will reply back. Now I get nothing from the phone. Any ideas? I am sure its just something I am missing. Thanks on advance for the help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Any of my kernels will work, but the highpro is an older kernel. As far as bluetooth, I didn't change anything bluetooth related, but ill look into it. Eventually ill get time to finalize skinny. Been super busy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
I'm on joker stock rev 1. How do u update the prl? Just says contacting network and it stays that way ABC doesn't update
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Updated mine earlier, im on skinny which is a cut up version of jokerstock. Just keep trying.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
Skinny rev2, test 3.

I have no issues dialing from bluetooth, however google music fc's everytime I play music from the cloud over bluetooth. I have a bluetooth deck in the car. Playing music stored on the sd over bluetooth works fine, it's just what I have uploaded.

Sent via a skinny MoPho using XDA App
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Okay thanks, I will look into it as well. Its strange I think it may be a Bluetooth setting on my Bluetooth headset itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Hey joker i see in the main post you have a zip file to undo the 8 point multitouch but not a file to enable it. Im running skinny 2 test 3 and noticed that it onlu does 2 multitouch ( used a multitouch app from the market to determine this) do u know where i can find that file or do u plan on implementing it into your rom later? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Been trying for a few days. Can't update profile either. I'd hate to have to wipe and reflash just update the prl lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Ill be updating everything pretty soon, imma make one more test run before hand but soon enough ill update. Jokerstock will be included in that update. As will 2 electrify versions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Cool. ill be on the lookout for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
did you try unpairing and then repairing? happens all the time to mw with jawbone icon on every rom i've tried.
[Motorola Photon 4G] chinchillachubby:
Wifi error

Hey joker I to am having widow error on skinny4g bootstrap. I've tried several times to reflash but nothing works. I'm rooted on 198_7 stock and bootstrap installed. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong and if possible can you tell me which of your rims can be flashed via bootstrap. Thanks for any and all help. From what I've read your roms are the sh&t.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Wifi error and rims not rims and window ....lol

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Roms not rims lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
If you replace the meta-inf folder with the one from skinny4g you can flash any of my roms
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
I ****s with skinny4g.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Relocked my bootloader and running skinny 4g w/ zepps kernel tweaks and jiwes lil ram manager app..
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
This is something I want to know. Can you flash skinny4G in the regular android recovery as "update.zip"?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
No i dont have moto's signing keys.

You must use cwm or bootstrap
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
Oh, so root --> unlock --> pudding --> flash skinny4G --> nopudding4U?
[Motorola Photon 4G] demonotaku:
No

So Root --- > Bootstrap loader > skinny4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] glock20c:
Root-->install bootstrap-->flash skinny4g through bootstrap

bootloader never gets unlocked ....4g is not broke
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
Phone is rooted, I have the bootstrap loader installed where you run it and then boot into recovery using that (phone must be plugged in for it to boot into the CWM recovery)
[Motorola Photon 4G] chinchillachubby:
wifi still not workin

i have tried to flash skinny 4g again and again no wifi still error in setting menu.

i am rooted 198_7 bootstrap and stock everything else. can anyone tell me how to

get this skinny4g rom to work with wifi working
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
ill make sure when i update that the right files are used. i may not have used the right wifi drivers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] glock20c:
I have the same set up and my wifi works well
[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
Hey joker gsm user here, i just noticed this cause i just unlocked my photon i cant get passed the activation screen from sprint.. in stock all we had to do was delete

rm SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.apk

rm SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex

But now since i cant get passed that startup window im not able to do that... do you know of any other way?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
What's the update on this with the newer releases?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tetrabyt:
testing pre-alpha test3

having issues with data hanging... both cellular and wifi.. anyone else testing, having those issues ? couldn't get passed downloading apps from the market... they would hang.
[Motorola Photon 4G] chinchillachubby:
question

how or what did you do in bootstrap

format system ( in mounts section)

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dilvak

then install skinny4g

this is what i did last time i tried to flash

is this correct???
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
ive fixed most of the issues from skinnyrev1, which include gallery bug and calendar widget fc. ive still got to finalize my tweaks. thats whats taking so long.

try wiping the cache partition.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
as some of you know i've began work on ubuntop with loki as well, i have a working cwm of ubuntop/webtop+, my question is would anyone like to see an all in one super zip that includes skinny as well as webtop+/ubuntop update?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
it should work without all that but the extra steps may help, skinny4grev2 will have my super wipe files included as part of the flashing script eliminating the need for extra wipe steps. basically how it works is instead of formatting the partition it uses the erase image binary then formats. its more thorough than the normal methods. i'll also release a standalone superwipe once i get all the kinks out
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
well hells yeah
[Motorola Photon 4G] glock20c:
Yes Sir.....

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

I just wipe cache and dilvak

then install skinny4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
I'm down for some of that lovin
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
If it's not a hassle for you, then yes.

Best Battery life and fast camera with skinnyrom rev0

I was running skinnyrom rev1 for awhile and decided to try skinnyrev2 pre-test3 for a little while.

What I found is that skinnyrom rev0 has been the best performer.

For some reason the battery life wasn't that great on either of the recent roms - I was losing 5% an hour or more. Also, the camera seemed to really lag, to the point where it wasn't worth trying to take any pictures because the shutter lag was simply horrible.

With skinnyrom rev0 the battery is easily 1.5% an hour and the camera is FAST.

I've been thinking (always a recipe for trouble). Rev0 is not using the 1% battery tweak. I've notice with this phone that you'll kill the battery quickly if you run any app that tries to report the battery capacity in 1% increments.

Is it possible that the newer roms with the 1% tweak could be effecting the battery life?

Just food for thought.

Excellent ROMS Joker. Thanks for your efforts!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
That doesn't seem to be true with battery circle, I generally get 14-17 hours on a charge with this phone (with average use, 6-8 hours with heavy use), and over a day with WiFi on. (I've also noticed that battery life is longer with 4G enabled if it has a stable signal compared to 3G)

This probably isn't relevant since I'm not running any ROM just yet, and I'm a little bit hesitant to use the Skinny4G ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I have been running Skinnyrom rev0 with the battery tweak for the past month or so...I'm getting about 15-18 hours on moderate use. I do have widgetsoid reporting the battery temp and percentage (so I can tap to see hours of use and what's eating away at the battery),I don't think there's a difference in it...but I'll check it out and report.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
The test rom is using the 254 camera which is 1080p capable. As far as the battery percents, ill keep this in mind and may make an extra pack to enable battery percents,etc. I use vignette for still camera so i never noticed the lag. Give the rom a few days before judging battery life. Also undervolt a little and that will help too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
I am on skinny2-rev3 and I thought I would let you know joker the issues I see: (if it helps at all) lol

1. When I first unlock my phone the screen is really bright. If I lock it again and than unlock the screen dims correctly.

2. If I have my Gmail account sync the calendar I get force closed errors on Gmail process gapps not a big deal I use touchdown.

3. When I lock the screen I think my wifi turns on. When I come out of lock it shows on and then it will start to toggle off of turn off.

Those seem to be the only things I can see that are issues. (That I am having)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigj225:
Most definitely that would be great
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ludacon:
im only seeing a 720p p[tion for video, how do you access the 1080p option?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I dunno yet, ive tried everything short of changing the build.prop to say 2.3.5, all of the camera pieces are 254. Still nothing. 1080p works on the 254 build but porting it is strange. Im sure i overlooked something. Ive been super busy and haven't been able to work on much.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Joker - if I relock my phone, then sbf yays 198_7 stock sbf, is that all I need to so to get back to stock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
no need to relock. just sbf. you want need to wipe first though
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
So I wont need the stock kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
When you sbf, it installs the stock kernal, stock recovery, and stock ROM. I believe it leaves the data intact though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Ok. Ill wipe first, then sbf yays 198_7 and hopefully that works
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Update on progress, ive been bouncing between projects in my spare time. Currently im redoing my kernel source to add some much needed patches. I may drop 254 camera for d3 or 198 camera. Its up to you guys. Also ill be trying to fix calendar issues and any other issues i find. Im also going to be completely redoing my tweaks. A new auto super wipe method will be tested to ensure no one has to do extra steps. The test4 release will be a beta drop, once tested ill release it in all forms. Jokerstock,skinny,skinny4g(needs a different name),skinny4electrify(also needs new name), and a new ultra rom that will include loki's webtop mods, skinnyrev2, and new kernel all in one zip. My phone will hate me during testing.

This stuff obviously takes time. Time i have very little of. So don't expect it soon, just know it is being worked on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 0mfgroflmao:
That sounds awesome, could you include the HDMI hack into your Ultra ROM for those of us without a dock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Ill make it an extra, it breaks some stuff on lapdock 100 users.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Does this work for 2.3.5 electrify locked
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I can make an electrify locked version
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
I'd be willing to try it. What is "skinny4g"? screens? a little more info?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
It's a kerneless version of skinny. It for bootstrap/locked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
I never seen Skinny. I'm assuming better than Stock. Now if we could force CM7 through Bootstrap LOL.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Actually cm7 is possible through bootstrap, its not ideal however.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Has anyone tried using the 720p camera on skinny4G?

I tried to use it while riding shotgun and it got hella laggy and froze up for about 10 seconds of recording every so often. Going about 40. Can someone replicate this using Skinny4G or even skinny rev? Be safe of course :p

I recorded a 45 second video and it started at the 15 sec mark
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
I tried it on my Electrify as far as the CM7 went, but it wouldn't work, I would be interested in playing with Skinny4g unless I can't update to new SBF whenever they drop ICS...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Well a few pages back someone posted how to get test3 to work on the electrify. After doing that replace the meta-inf folder with the one from skinny4g.

Zip and flash. Back up first of course.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Well I will have to find that Joker, I'd be curious to play with it since I can't get CM7 or my bootloader unlocked =/ unless your going to do a release for the Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I just uploaded the video in question take a look

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QyM...xt=C33567bdUDOEgsToPDskJggur2-S-XmcBMvM87W8JY
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
What kind of background apps do you have running, i tried to replicate by going earthquake mode for 60 secs and it worked fine. So either your memory is low, processor is working hard on something else, or you are saving to a slow sd card. The latter is my best guess. So try switching to internal and retest.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I installed the bravia engine(I hope) I have a class 4, 32 Gig and I had facebook running annoyingly in the background processes. I just cleared out the whole phone's memory sd and internal the other day
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Joker - I'm stuck man. My phone constantly stays stuck on "contacting network" when I try to update my prl or profile. So I went back to stock by rsd'in the 198_7 sbf and now its stuck at "contacting network" when the phone reboots. Not sure what's going on but any help would be highly appreciated.

I about to advanced the international user build prop line to bypass it but I needbto figure out how to get it to "contact" the network.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Try switching to internal and test, facebook isnt that fat, if all else fail undo the bravia engine and test.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Are you sprint? If so do a full factory reset, sbf to 154 then 198-7. You played with a bad miui didnt you
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I may have to reflash completely because I included the hack into your rom before flashing it.

I've been trying to test different tweaks with bootstrap. I even themed it and all before I flashed it.

Would me just erasing the line in the bulid get rid of the hack?
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
man, to be honest, im not sure what i did. but i think it had something to do with me accidently deleting my partition a while back. not sure if you remember, but i told you my initial "motorola dual core: boot screen was gone, and my recovery deleted itself somehow lol. then i just flashed your rom and everything was fine, but i ccould never update my profile or prl...

ima sbf 154 now, i hope it works....
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
That looks like that may be the culprit.

Why don't you play with the ICS rom on the thunderbolt for a bit while you SBF everything. You can't do much of anything on it but its cool to look at
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Dont feel bad I've completely wore out my power button. Dropping it helped. I have to use the kickstand to turn the screen on. Fixing it is on the to do list
