[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] benegessrit:
I have noticed this problem too from the very first day I got the phone. Netflix quality is miserable with very low resolution... it's not the internet connection speed (WiFi 30Mbps), and the WiFi signal is not being blocked or anything (did a Speedtest).

It's not the phone either, I had it replaced 4 times when I was trying to get one with good screen (I didn't, just gave up).

This problem is also present while streaming flash videos. The strange thing is that if you download the flash video (same one with the bad quality), and play it from the phone (using the built-in videos app), the quality is fine.

It's as if the video is not being smoothed when upscaled and played. I could see that very clearly when comparing the flash playback with the downloaded file; like a shirt collar for ex.

Maybe the built-in app uses some different method of playing videos?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
+1 Netflix looks better on my g2x and my hd7 what's up with that lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
I can think of several reasons...

1.) We do not have netflix hd.

2.) Large screen with piss poor resolution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilant510:
I think those lines are the same lines that people complain about when the screen brightness isn't up all the way. But video sucks, now that you guys mention it about flash video on the web i have come to notice that also.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
I might be one of the few guys around here who remembers bookmobiles as a kid, and since one of the main reasons I bought the Nook Tablet was to use as a reader this cover really appealed to me.

I found it at our local B&N while I was returning two other covers I tried and didn't like. They had just gotten these in and hadn't put them on the shelves yet. Kind of pricey at $40 but I'm happy with it. It has the nice secure clips that the BN branded covers have.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
That looks great. I love covers that make it look like a book. It's the best way to carry around inconspicuously. Also great that it has the B&N clips... I don't like a lot of the third party covers that uses the corner straps (kills the esthetics when opened).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
Thanks! Even though it's not leather it kind of has a weathered look that I like.

I totally agree on the clips. I almost got a Moleskine cover but I don't like the elastic holders in the corners and although I think they work fairly well for my lighter Nook Simple Touch I was worried that with the much heavier Tablet they wouldn't hold it as securely. The B&N clip mount allows you to pop it in and out very quickly.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lonely khan:
hi:( my milestone touch screen not working few weeks before its like sum ghost touch then now its not working i take it 2 the work shop and the said me its touch sensor is not working and we dnt have a touch sensor my location is pakistan bahawalpur plzzz anyone can help me em looking and em sory about my english.....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] i2gh0st:
same here :))

you need to replace the digitizer but in this moment i don't know from where to buy one, i have o do some research, i know the answer is in this forum cause i read about it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tennyleaz:
Buy one on ebay, there are many sellers selling those replacement parts.

Or buy an used Droid/Milestone, replace yours.

I have one functional digitizer (a used Droid), but there are scratches on it. Anyone interested?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] markv99:
in witch country?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tennyleaz:
I'll be in USA till this Christmas.

If anyone want it, please be quick.

I'm planning to sell this digitizer + rest of the phone (motherboard not functional, sorry).

I'll test it for you but I can't right now. I'm about to go to work. I'll check it out in the morning
[Motorola Photon 4G] Frans Parnel:
Holy Christmas this is awesome...

I'm downloading now and will test everything...

This requires unlocked bootloader correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xboxfanj:
Yes it does.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:
nice.....downloading now....will let u know how everything works....

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

just flashed rom......it booted up....now getting a com.android.phone force close message.......
[Motorola Photon 4G] xboxfanj:
I can probably fix that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Frans Parnel:
Issues ao far:

- Phone FC's like no other

- No signal always in airplane mode

- Wifi errors on enabling

- camera just closes

- screenshot causes hot boot

Good news:

- audio works mic and external speaker (couldnt test ear piece)

- sdcard mounts properly

- emmc is mounted and viewable under mnt/emmc in adb (default file browser obviously cant access it)

- bluetooth works (can connect ear piece although there is no app to test it - and my pc connected to phone so basically just tested pairing)

also on a side note: after a reboot through adb the phone fcs went away for 20 mins till i tried to dial out

this runs amazingly all things aside...and i still cant believe you threw this on our plates already...

i have attached a quick logcat durring the testing i did...and i will continue to mess with it...

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

cant edit my post on my phone so here is more info...

heres the logcat i mentioned above...

also...

cant test gps no app but it is enabled and appears to work

rotation works

auto brightness doesnt work

screenshot app did save image even though it hot rebooted

sound recorder app needs to be reaized for screen, as well as boot animation

all led colors work on settings

its 430am and im going to bed, ill mess with it more tomorrow and sideload some apps to test stuff with and mess around in adb

[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
This is great news, i cant wait till i get my photon to test it out... love miui builds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Doesn't boot on the Electrify. Stays stuck on the bootloader. I figured it would work as everything for the Photon seems to work just fine on the Electrify. Since they are identical minus the 4G. Maybe if it's not too much trouble you could get this working on both devices?
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
not happening here.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

pushed SystemUI.apk and Mms.apk from your build to sky's and rebooted. same result. FC on boot for media and same FC for SMS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Probably something missing or invalid in the framework.jar...

i'm at work right now but when i got home i am going to try to get a new build put together with the camera fix and some other stuff from sky's build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
Tried restoring gosms from a backup. It also closes out. I did manage to receive a regular SMS and could respond in the stock SMS app.

just installed ChompSMS and was able to send a text.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Awesome! You rock!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xboxfanj:
For torch, try pushing cm7 torch.apk.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
CM7 Torch is a go! Working Proper!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
is it possible to manually mount the external sdcard?
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Well, if you want your external sdcard to be viewable inside miui file browser and music app you can use the following command in terminal emulator. I think you can do it in adb as well...

The code below should mount the sdcard to a folder called sdcard inside the emmc...if the folder already exists it will "hide" the folder until it is unmounted...so it won't delete anything. At least thats the way linux does it - not sure if android would do the same...should...but don't take my word on it ;)

mount -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/emmc/sdcard

Also I have a working build with camera, torch, bottom lights, data, calls, sms working - i am uploading it to my dropbox now...will post here when its done.

MMS still doesnt work, front facing camera doesn't work. And camera will fc if you goto take a video. And i had camera fc on my when i snapped a shot - but it saves the picture.

I already have a bunch of logcat's of the issues left and will continue to work on them.

If you run into any issues that are not already noted or get a FC that you are not sure about Send the logcat to mophomiui@gmail.com

I set this email up to gather logcats and may use it for other things in the future.

If you don't know how to send a logcat using the miui build in fc option here is how:

When you get a force close click the report button

scroll up to the top of the page

change the email at the top to mophomiui@gmail.com

click send

Hmm didn't get the FC issue with the camera, and FFC was working previously.

can I just wipe cache/dalvik? Apparently not, caused boot loop...... wiping all now!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sky24987:
I'm chinese,I think it should be us photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I wonder why using go sms pro works? I go to advanced settings and put in the mms settings and then I can receive mms. As long as I don't use the included text app for mms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
ok, full wipe, cache and dalvik x 3 and stuck in a boot loop.........
[Motorola Photon 4G] xboxfanj:
There's probably some framework changes that need to be made flor mms. In com/google/android/mms I think.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
Ok tried 3 separate times to flash the last build you posted, it would not boot once. i kept getting stuck in a boot-loop.

Sooo....

I flashed sky's build over-top of it without wiping and this time everything worked except there are a few stray Chinese characters in taskbar, mms and torch.

so i pushed torch again and am downloading gosms.

Also in settings>Mobile Network>CDMA Options creates FC and kills radio
[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
same here wiped everything and tried installing multiple times but no go just bootloops
[Motorola Photon 4G] sky24987:
did u replace the libmoto_ril.so from ebbinger_413'rom ,and need reboot, I think mine maybe use for china telecom cdma.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
thanks will try that now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
OK flashed test 4. Logged in to Google. Flashed test 5 no wipe. Boot loop, flashed sky version, now working very well. It sees both SD cards. No battery icon. Running very nice.

Sky, it is a good work, thanks for everything to make a gsm rom,but there are multiple problems: 1st ussd code not working, 2nd isuue is: auto report about balance after calls, messages and gprs use is not working. These two reasons made me to flash miui. And i`m very dissapointed about it, because these things worked on my samsung vibrant`s miui. I think it is main problem for gsm users and i wish sky would do something about it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slyder33:
Are you able to get in to the network settings without a fc?

Sent from my MB855
[Motorola Photon 4G] sky24987:
the 1st: can u tell me some code? I think i'll have a test.

the 2nd isuue : messages and gprs use is not working, I didn't have those problems.maybe it's apn's problem? did u open the gprs again?
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
ussd codes are our domestic carrier specific for ex: *101*12digit# or *100#

about second gprs and messsages are working i`m talking about balance.For ex: i have a 5$ in my balance after i call somebody there appears a woindow says: ``last use 1cent , your balance is 4.99``

I think this service is not in only our country because it worked on my samsung galaxy s which i bought from ebay
[Motorola Photon 4G] sky24987:
about those problems, I think it use the old framework.

when we solve the audioflinger's problem ,we would update to the lateset version of miui. maybe those problems solved.

ok thanks, i`m looking forward to see it solved

Has anyone been able to successfully flash the 12-19-2011 Test 5 build?

I think that due to using my phone for internet at home, and getting rediculously slow speeds, that the upload was corrupt. My local copy flashes fine and I downloaded the uploaded copy and MD5's don't match.

I have reuploaded the same build - keeping the "non working" link in tact.

Here is the new link - same Test 5 build.

I will be posting Test 6 sometime today or tomorrow. I already have MMS working for the most part. It receives MMS without any issues, and is able to send MMS - however sending MMS does force close after the mms has sent (even though it is received by the receipiant).

Hey guys, I have been following along and watching this topic and i just have a few questions to ask if its ok..

I have a Motorola Electrify (US Cellular's Photon) and I have been running CM7.

I noticed that this ROM uses Cybik's kernel. so i have to ask, will this break roaming? with CM7 the US Cellular customers cant roam. data or voice doesnt work at all.

Also, can someone give me a brief rundown of what currently works in this ROM and if it could be used as a daily driver.

Thanks guys!

Keep up the great work!

look a couple pages back he listed what works and what doesn't work

im using as daily just a couple FC here and there nothing big im not sure about the kernel i had to flash a joker cm7 kernel to work for me

This works for to fix Torch!
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
That will fix torch if you are running Sly's Chinese Build, however - it will not fix torch in my builds.

As far as TWRP flashing goes - I just put TWRP on my photon today and have yet to flash anything with it. So I do not know if any of the zip's will work with it or not. They should, but I haven't tried it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:

What kind of rom development? Porting? Or something original?
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
I'd like to start with a basic understanding. I want to be able to either port ROM's or at the very least help others devolop (CM7, CM9, MIUI, etc). Just want to help rather than sit here with my thumb up my ass waiting for features or ROM's to be released.

Based on my work schedule, if I could pick up on this, I could devote a good amount of time each day to working on something.

Sent from my TWRP'd CM7 Unlocked Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xboxfanj:
I start by copying lib/egl and vendor/lib/egl if that's there and lib/hw and vendor/lib/hw if that's there. And also, build.prop and the kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
Thanks! However, I wanna know what things like build.prop do, what I need to do to get drivers working if I were to try porting a different ROM. I guess I want to know what/why I'm copying those directories and not just to do it. That's a lot of learning, however, and I don't expect anyone to take on the endeavor of teaching me which is why I asked for a site or recommendation to read up on lol

Edit: for a simple(?) starter project, I was thinking of making a USCC version of a ROM. I say that because I wouldn't have to build a whole lot, but figure out how to change simple things like the Sprint logo to US Cellular and add a few apps that are specific to the carrier. But I don't know how to compile, repackage, etc.

Sent from my TWRP'd CM7 Unlocked Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xboxfanj:
Well, u don't ever have to compile or repackage. You can edit the rom without extracting, just drag and drop what you want and press delete on what you want to delete. To make a rom us cellular supported, I think you have to open framework-res.apk in your archiver (its in system/framework) and go to res/xml and eri.xml and open that with notepad++. Then wherever it says sprint, change it to us cellular. Also, there's some build.prop lines and copy rild, pppd and pppd-runner from the us cellular rom's system/bin and any libs with ril in the title in system/lib (different names depending on the manufacturer). Also, add whatever apks you want in system/app.

If you need help, gtalk me at xboxlover360@gmail.com

That goes for anyone. If anyone needs help, contact me. And ill do what I can to help.

Edit: for boot animation, copy bootanimation.zip from system/media from a uscc rom or whatever boot animation you want
