I just sticked with this, after cm7 and 9 and I must say, that this is very nice stock rom. Blur home looks also good here. Maybe I will like blur instead of CM :-) I am surprised, that everything works on Photon, even 1080p recording and radio switching. I only deodexed, changed bootanimation, quality of recording, uninstalled few apps and added speedyv7 for blur. Now I am satisfied, for some time. :-) I am only missing Czech language, but I can live without it.

Oh and I changed the kernel for jokers 1,4.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Hello and nice work! I am working on the ROCKO rom for the locked Electrify and was wondering if you could help me out? Can you send me a zip of the /system folder that you have deodex and zip-aline. It would help me out a great deal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes, I would like it to. Please

[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
so i flashed this rom to my photon and lost root and recovery...got root back but how do i flash recovery now? and wich recovery should i use?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
http://www.multiupload.com/BDJD20E16E - Here is deodexed zip, just flash. You can delete the build.prop and bootanimation from the zip, then remains only deodexed /system/framework and /system/app.

And another things I did to this rom - changing libsqlite.so, for that one without sync and added bravia engine

And by the way, deodexing worked with HTC Kitchen 0.184, so there goes credits.

And updater-script taken from jokers kernel zip and modified. :-)

Maps and Voicesearch missing (not deodexed), Youtube, Maps, Street deleted - install them from market.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
I just did a fresh install of this rom to my photon. The one thing I cant figure out is data, it isn't connected. what are some changes that I need to make to be able to run it with Sprint? TIA
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
No changes needed. It works fine for me.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
The easiest way is to use boot strap recovery, to install romracer cwm. Here is the link to romracer cwm http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218417 just ise any color zip version, and flash in boot strap recovery.

Thank You for all the help :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
For some reason, after I installed Quantum theme it didn't want to boot.

I'll let you know if any bugs. thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Mind if I add your link to the OP since I can't get mine to flash all the way?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok, you can add it.

Olegfusion - There must be theme for this 2.3.5 framework and systemui. Quantum is for 2.3.4
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
ah yes, damn me. thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
i laughed when i saw the US Cellular bootlogo (yime to find a new bootlogo) now i wonder how to change everything electrify to everything photon? i know there aare ways but i just want to know what other photons did.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
It's not much Electrified, only changed model name and number in build.prop and only thing, that reminds me, it's for other phone is build name, there is 853. Good thing is, that there is no bloatware, preinstalled in system, so it is uninstallable. 1% battery is missing, of course.

And now I see, after battery calibration percents are shown normaly, but after reboot, it shows me +25%. What's the specs of Electrify battery? Maybe we need to change libbattd.so?

Edit: Ok, I pushed it from cm7 and it works, so I will tell the difference later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
And that's why us Electrify users can use the photon ROMS:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
I thought so but now i lost 3g. That's why i thought so but now i don't really know a fix. I'm feeling that why am j so stupid moment coming on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Thanks peetr, my photon has never run better!
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
did you ever find a solution, no 3g is no fun.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
My too. :-)

Craby - try to switch radio in dialer - *#*#4636#*#* - I am using 3g. And after using CM, I like the possibility to change it cdma - umts - cdma - umts, even if I don't need cdma :-D
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
After flashing the 2.3.5 has anyone been able to re-lock thier phone and goback to: 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf?

I have attempted now I get: Failed to Boot 1 and my phone is bricked!

The onlyway to get past this is to unlock the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I haven't tried, but i am sure you would have to do a full wipe. And maybe try flashing 154 first. (The first sbf) or nandroid restore, or flash other rom first.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
How would i find themes for 2.3.5? Does electrify have its own section? I tried replacing phone apk with a custom, and even that wouldn't work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
ironically switching phone mode from auto to home only and problem solved. I think the us cellular parts of this messed with the data i didn't wipe. But I'm glad you have yours working too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
This is like a little gem lost in an ocean of ice cream sandwiches.... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Nicely said. That's what I think, from the day I installed this. :-) I don't understand, why Motorola didn't released it yet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Are you talking about the 2.3.5 stock ROM in this thread? If so, it has been released...But it's for the Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Runs really great on the mopho. Just can't get mms to work. Have to use go sms to make them work. Would be great if Motorola would release it for the mopho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Oh, I thought it is leaked and electrify has still 2.3.4 too.

bricky - MMS works with my carrier.

Edit: No, you're right. I can receive mms, but I can't send it. "Service not activated in network" (but it is activated :-))

Now I tried mms again and I can send it, if I don't attach any picture, it works with text and audio.

Update: Never mind, it works. Probably the first picture was broken. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
Well roaming on this from hates me, after i tried to change carrier name to sprint by craby, it now says roaming indicator off-sometimes i question my own mind.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I have changed some more things in this rom.

I am not using social apps, so i disabled MotoBlur account -

- in build.prop:

ro.mot.setuptype=4

ro.mot.deblur=true (don´t know if this line is needed)

wipe data/factory reset

after start, you can skip motoblur account

After this change, there are many unusable things in gallery, music, etc., until you make motoblur account.

So for now i deleted BlurGallery.apk (and much more things) and changed it for Gallery3D from CM7 and edited BlurCamera.apk, to start Gallery3D, if you click on thumbnail.

If anybody wants it, here it is.

Just copy BlurCamera.apk and Gallery3D.apk from CM7 in /system/app folder, change permissions and restart.

It is for deodexed.

My priority is, to minimalize this rom, but do not tuch BlurHome, because it is the smoothest launcher I have seen, even with live wallpaper.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Just make a new thread for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. Not now. :-)

One more thing. For now, I will post it here.

I tried FMRadio.apk from Defy CM7, modded, to be working without headphones by one XDA member (don´t remember).

And do you know what? It works perfectly!

Here it is.

So I deleted BlurMusic.apk and MotoFMRadio.apk.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
great research. I did that replacement too, awesome!

One thing I noticed it doesn't find all stations right in autosearch.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Maybe, because of missing the region setting? I think, I set it in the defaut app for Europe, so it works for me now, but I don´t remember. :) I´ll try to wipe later and see, if it works still nice.

By the way, Photon has very good FM signal reception (with headphones). 20 stations and ended at 100MHz. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I wonder if somebody can create services.jar for 2.3.5 rom, since 2.3.4 with percentage battery fix doesn't work.

thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
One day I could try. But I think, it is a little more difficult to find, what to change. Joker could help, as he changed it on skinny rom, at least he could tell which smali, what parameter. Framework should be easy through UOT kitchen. For now, I am using battery circle.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I think I deleted a lot of standart services, some of them were frozen by titanium backup. I get best battery I could ever see. But I deleted blur home too - installed go launcher ex.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
Has anyone been able to get the built in mms to work? I tested this rom out last night and I liked it but I need mms. I teied setting APN but as soon as I put in the sprint info the APN would disapear.

Thanks,

RJR
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
The only way I could get it to work with sprint, is to use go sms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
I'm updating the links in the OP, since the whole MegaUpload thing killed everything except for dropbox lol. Also, changed the de-odexed version to a 100% stock version that includes the kernel.

Forgot to add, if anyone notices any issues, let me know and I'll add it to the OP. MMS on Sprint is an issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
No mms on sprint. And thank you for your work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Does it work if you use GoSMS?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes, go sms with sprint mms settings put in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fordthunder:
flashed my electrify back to stock SBF and then installed this deodexed version.. now wifi is borked. any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Yea... I forgot to add dhd.ko for the stock kernel. My bad lol. Flash one of jokers kernels and it'll work. When I get time I'll fix it
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
The rom is acting so slow to commands, has anyone have the problem?

Rebooted after 10 minutes, solved. Best gsm rom i`ve ever seen for mopho, thanks!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jm5503:
So before I flash I have a rooted Photon on 2.3.4 198_7.....Do I flash the sbf file in rsd or the deodex file in clockwork? Or should both work? Also the only issue Ive really read about is mms....is this all?

Thx in advance....
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No sbf! Take the zip.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Olegfusion and I, we made 1%battery steps for this deodexed rom

Here it is - http://db.tt/uYP8lBDk

And by the way, mms.apk from CM7, works with this rom, so you can try, if it helps with mms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jm5503:
Thank you.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Thanks for posting :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jm5503:
Great rom....hope motorola officially releases this for the photon.....launcher is very smooth.....the launcher is the only thing that I can see a difference in....
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Mms is the only problem I have had, other than it lists U. S. Cellular as my provider. Don't flash electrify sbf to photon! It will give you a locked bootloader. Only use the zip versions and flash in cwm. Dont forget to make a backup, and do full wipe.

Edit: sorry, late to the party. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] jm5503:
Thanks.....

SPRINT - MMS & Carrier Change

Only try this if you know what you are doing.. I am not responsable if you hork your phone!

You will need to download WINRAR from rarsoft.com.

I assume you know how to get these files on your phone. I suggest putting them on your SD card then using adb shell to move the files to the appropriate places and set permissions. You can use ROOT EXPLORER if you know what you are doing.

You will need to get framework-res.apk of your phone. It is located in system->framework.

Once you have that file you will need to open it using WINRAR. Once you are in the file goto res->xml. You will need to replace the eri.xml with the one that is contained in the files.zip attached to this post.

Now you will need to put the file back onto your phone into system->framework

The next thing you will need to do is put the build.prop that is located in the files.zip attached to this post into your system folder. The system folder will already have a build.prop located in there so it is OK to overwrite it.

Next you will need to delete apns-conf.xml. This file is located in 2 places. In etc and then in system->etc. Make sure you delete it from both places.

This is optional but you can replace the US Cellular boot animation if you like with the one attached to this post with the Sprint animation. The attached file will replace the one that is located in the system->media folder.

At this point you will need to install the VoiceDialer.apk that is attached to this post. You will need this to open up the APN configuration page on your phone.

Once installed start the voice dialer and say "Open APNS" this will prompt you to open APNs, press OK.

You should be at the APNs configuration page. Press the menu button and select "Reset to default" This will clear out the locked existing APNs.

Press menu again and select "New APN"

Fill in the following.. REMEMBER TO SAVE..

Name = Production

APN=1

Proxy=

Port=

Username=

Password=

Server=

MMSC=http://mms.sprintpcs.com

MMS proxy=

MMS port=

MCC=310

MNC=120

Authentication type=

APN Type=mms

APN Protocol=IPv4

Press MENU and SAVE.

Exit the APNs screen and reboot.

That should be it..

You should have the carrier switched over to Sprint, MMS working and the Sprint boot animation should come up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
This is great! Thanks! Mind if I add this to the OP?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Still can't receive mms with this fix. Everything else is great though! Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
Are you getting an error message?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
No error message. Have the option to download or ignore. Press download, it tries but never does.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Don't you have droidwall installed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I don't.......
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
Still looking into this. It is very strange that mms will go out but will not download. May be a cer issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
The really strange thing is, if I install a messaging app from the market, I can send and receive mms, even without changing any settings in the app. I can send but not receive mms with stock app. I also installed messaging app from cm7, and same results as stock.:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
Try flashing another Kernel. I have tried many things last night and I get teh same results as you. I have also looked at a logcat and it says something about the remote site not liking the info about the device trying to retrieve the message. May be since it is a 2.3.5 device prior to 2.3.5 being out. Pretty much stumped..
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Have you tried adding Sprint stuff to the build.prop?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I used the build.prop that rrusek put up. Not a big deal, i like go sms. Just strange though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
Have you had any issues with Go SMS. I tried it a few months back and I kept getting phantom messages repeating that I had recieved earlier in the day. If you can confirm that the Go SMS works correctly that may be a solution.

---------- Post added at 06:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

The build.prop already has the sprint stuff in it. That is not the problem. I already tried using the build.prop from 198_7 and it still did not work. Everything is starting to point to the kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Flash jokers kernel...If MMS still doesn't work, it's not the kernel:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I have had no problems at all with go sms. I haven't tried other sms apps yet. But I didn't have to put setting in go sms for it to work so maybe others work to. As for the kernel, I'm using the one that came with the deodexed version, which is overclocked to 1.4 so I'm sure it is jokers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yepitsme19:
Ok guys, I re-uploaded both ROMs, de-odexed with fixed WIFI and the other with a fixed updater.script.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
phone works normally, but yesterday i tried to flash miui and realized that my cwm not working tried to flash cwm again from fastboot but didn`t work. Anyone can tell me what the hell is happening to my phone?

Solved with rom manager
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
You can op if you like. I see some users have been asking about how to change the carrier.

Thanks,

RJR
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Wish there were more roms based on 2.3.5 It is fast and smooth as heck! Only problem I have is mms not working, but go sms pro fixes that.:p
[Motorola Photon 4G] XtraWho:
You guys using CWM to flash? Coming from the evo line and flashing looks different on the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes cwm 5.0.2.7
[Motorola Photon 4G] chrystal0925:
I've tried flashing with cm9 then restored back to skinny and it sits at moto boot for ever??? Can't get it to flash
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Try clean dalvik cache and wipe /cache partition
[Motorola Photon 4G] XtraWho:
Thanks.

I keep getting a failed boot 2, starting RSD setup.(or RSD starup)

I get this while trying to backup current stock rom with CWM. Have not tried flashing ROM yet.

Edit: I take it this is because I need to unlock my boot loader (typical moto).

Ok so n/p I can do that. Now is there a way to get 4g wimax back once I do so?
[Motorola Photon 4G] chrystal0925:
thanks I have it just will not boot i can flash any other rom but this!
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I made a rom from this, it's very lightweight, as deblur as it can be, with the best from blur apps remaining (phone, contacts, camera). CM7 email, calendar, voice commands, calculator, fm radio app,... Multilingual framework (no need for morelocale app), no theming, some cosmetic visual issues only (for what I know). Stock kernel 1.0 (focused on battery). Bootsound. Made on gsm Photon (not sure, what it does on cdma). I would post it in separate thread with link, but I included Nemus launcher (nothing compares to this one on 2.3.x). It's free app, but still, I don't have devs permission yet. If someone wants the link to test, pm me. Not sure, if it's uploaded correctly, my upload sucks. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok, I have the permission from Nemustech, so here is the link, until I have some time to make separate thread. There will be v2 with some more localization improvements.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
320 mb does this include osh? Or why so big?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
As I wrote, it's made with ROM Factory, that dumps whole system partition even with empty space. ROM has some 170 MB unpacked in phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] latinoboi30:
I was wondering if there's anyway I can fix my bluetooth?

It had not worked since I've rooted my phone months ago, even changed roms and what not.

I've searched on here for it and couldn't find any topics on this and if I missed it then I apologize for asking .

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
My suggestion is to Odin to EC05 stock and get it working again and then root and flash a Gingerbread ROM then make sure it still works.

Thank you, ill try that once I get home today and ill let u know if that worked.
[General Questions and Answers] zonbal33:
I know their are probably a bunch of these threads already out, your probably tired of seeing them so bare with me please, I'm a noob.

I was granted an "early" upgrade. I was on the phone with the rep and I had to pick a phone at that moment, I wasn't allowed to call back, long story.

Anyways, it was between the Nexus, Rezound and Razr. My old phone was Droid X and X2, customiztion was horrible, I swore to myself I would never go back to Motorola because to this day there are only around 3 ROMs out for it, hell CM is still not complete for it. I've always like the UI on HTC phones, don't know why I think it's a great UI, looks wise. I've never had an HTC phone for a long period of time to determine how the UI runs long term. And with the Nexus, you can pretty much customize it how you see fit, from what I hear? I haven't had chance to go to the store to try any of these so I'm basing everything off what the rep told me. So it be nice to get the "real" advice from you guys.

So I ordered the Nexus, I had the rep on the phone for an hour while I was Googleing information online. It was between the Nexus and Rezound. I don't know too much about these phones but at first I was leaning toward the Rezound because of the faster CPU, removable sdcard, the better camera, etc. But the Verizon rep who was an HTC user before recommended the Nexus, he said the phone feels like a different world, that UI is very sleek, clean and friendly.

Did I get the right phone? I know I have 14 days to decide but I really for once want to get a phone and not have to return it. So what are the big noticeable differences between the Nexus and Rezound?

Also, I was wondering about this:

- The nexus has an unlocked bootloader unlike the Rezound?

- Will the Nexus eventually have Sense roms out for it, I like the Sense UI and I want to get back into flashing a bunch of different ROMs. I haven't been able to do that sine the OG Droid b/c my Droid X is a POS!

- How is the batter life, my DX couldn't make it through the night.

That's all I can think of now, I appreciate everyones help and listening to me ramble on, I just want to pick the right phone.
[General Questions and Answers] AceBlade258:
Nexus, Rezound, or Razr?

I'm in a similar boat. I have a phone coming my way, but I'm not sure which I want... I have a Thunderbolt currently, running CM7, and I love the AOSP experience. I'm leaning towards the Nexus, but at the same time, the RAZR is absolutely epic, and the Rezound has a lot of awesome goodness. I hate Sense, and Motoblur (or whatever it's called currently).

I know the Galaxy Nexus has a couple of problems, but how severe do they actually affect the useability of the device?

To the OP: If you like messing with roms, nexus it always going to be the best way to go.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Definitely the Nexus. The rezound hasn't been rooted yet. The Razr is a motorola with a locked bootloader...enough said. The Nexus' issues are all software related and will be fixed with OTA's and custom ROM's.

I'm curious to see how many fools say SGSII in this post.
[General Questions and Answers] zonbal33:
I got the Nexus today arrive a few hours ago. I'm going to play with this for a few days and make my final decision. I like ICS already, but for some reason I like the Sense UI on HTC phones. I'm going to try and hit up a Verizon store soon to check one out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AKValle26:
Alright this is really weird

It happens about 1/10 times, and whenever I try to open the music app... my ScoreCenter app opens instead. I open it from my homescreen or from the app drawer, both open ScoreCenter.

The problem persists until I swipe it away from the multitasking menu. Here's a screenshot so you know what I'm taking about: http://imgur.com/c2tCF.jpg

Weird
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Yeah that actually happened to me today. It's happened to every android phone I've ever owned. I'm not sure what causes it.

It doesn't occur often so it doesn't bother me much.
