The only oddity I've been experiencing is that my WiFi doesn't seem to auto connect until I open the Wireless & networks in Settings, once opened it almost instantly connects to the available WiFi. Is anyone else experiencing this, it's not just one WiFi spot either, it has happened at my work and home...
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
Happened to me all the time too
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
I will work on that wifi in the next build. Flashing jokers 1.3 kernel should make it work, but you need to run the sd-ext script afterwards. It's all in the ramdisk for wifi, dhcpcd, wlan settings
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Has anyone gotten Ubuntu installed with this rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
I have tried Rockos Rom. Facing wifi issues. I lose connectivity for a second. The wifi bars show 0 signal, turns gray and then back to blue in a single second.

Tried jokers kernel blue 1.3, SAME PROBLEM!! Why is this happening with me! I need a CFW .

Havent tried your ROM yet. Its got cybik's kernel not Jokers. please guide me. I cant see anyone able to help me.

I have the Photon rooted and unlocked. This happens only when I go to a custom ROM or kernel. Never happens on stock. I tried flashing jokers kernel on my stock unlocked photon. No luck.

HATE THIS! Cant live without a god damn ROM! :(

I am downloading this ROM to try :)

btw i even tried replacing dhd.ko which is basically for locked users. No luck..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
Here's an update, I ended up lowering the wifi scan interval from 90 to 60 in the build.prop and now my WiFi is auto connecting at both my apartment and various WiFi networks at my work.

I'm going to have to search and try and find out what the sd-ext script is, also which of Joker's kernels "works". I only ask because he has so many different ones floating out there from so many of his test branches. Could a zip be made of just the kernel that is currently being used also be uploaded, in case I want to go back to Kang CM 7.2 "stock" as of the 2-20 build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
Bro just installed your rom

Its pretty cool. Few problems.

1- no android market.can't find a way to get it work or install from anywhere

2- wifi got stuck once. Was under the wifi zone then too... went to airpalne and reconnected. Started working now.

3- the app drawer animation sucks. Not smooth at all! Is itadw launcher? Never tried ads before.

Else, its awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] the12nv:
1. for the market issue - did you flash gaaps?? (if not look on first page - several are listed.

2. This is a issue that is also mentioned on the first page

3. In regards to the slow animations, you can try a reboot, or download spare parts and select fast for windows and transition animation (please correct me if I'm wrong XDA'ers)

Hope this helps!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
1 - Got market. Thanks a milliion.

2 - Ok thats fine. I guess dev's fixing it :)

3 - ADW! Is it how it always runs??? Damn Launcher pro is a million times smoother.. But we just lost the support for it :( And other good launchers?

Any improvement on the battery life with the latest build?

ALSO why is the time not showing on the status bar? :-S And doesn't Cyanogen Mod show the battery % inside the battery indicator? Anyway to get these 2 working?
[Motorola Photon 4G] the12nv:
I personally am a big fan of Go Launcher - it runs REALLY well on my CM7.2. The battery life for me is decent, I see people that get HOURS of battery, but not me. I have to charge throughout the day, no biggie for me since I have a desk job and just plug into computer. As for the time ana battery percentage -

settings > cyanogenmod settings > interface > status bar tweaks > click on show clock and and choose battery status > percentage.

Hope this is helpful - If it is - please feel free to click the Thanks button > !!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
Go launcher is nowhere as smooth as launcher pro... IMO

And thanks :) Also we need to change the clock color :D

Edit: I AM just loving this ROM! 1 question. I am not able to change the color of the drop down status bar / notification bar! Tried setting the color / choosing transparent etc. No luck. Also is there a way to clear individual notifications just like the stock blur notification bar??
[Motorola Photon 4G] the12nv:
can you tell I'm slow at work!!!

to change the color of the clock, look just below where you clicked to make it active - there is a color circle - press on a color and then the circle inside the circle changes to that color - press the inner circle and exit out. As for the pull down notification, not sure if that works, however as far as changing the top status bar color, same as changing the clock color - except under status bar background color - once changed you have to reboot and the change will take effect!! I love the customization of CyanogenMod!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] pbedard:
The apps I bought in the market don't show download they show a price how can I fix that? ? Any help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
Have you actually clicked into one of the apps in question, I have had it happen that in market lists it has the price, but once you actually open the app it says install.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pbedard:
Yes I've checked it still shows the price
[Motorola Photon 4G] pbedard:
Have the problem with Tom manager titanium back up and root tools all of then
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
well I would make sure you are using the latest GApps. On the front page make sure you downloaded the one "with latest market, thanks to Temesek".

Also you could try clearing the cache and data from the Market app itself (Manage Applications...) and see if it was just a bad sync.
[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
I realized that before you posted but I am facing some other problems after some usage. while typing like this, how do I hide the status bar / notification bar???

Also I took some screen shots for you to check my problem

I set the status / notification bar to the bottom of our screens as you can see in the image. I want the Widgets to show on the top in the *pullup* menu. how do I do that?

And what basically I want is to toggle the status bar from any screen on the OS Gingerbread by double tapping any of the soft buttons. And I mean ANywHeRe wwhereever iiiiammmmm even when immaa here typinovahere. how do I doo that???? can't even see thedamn time for now.I don't evenwant the statisbar all the time. help me with this n I'll give u something special.

its xfrakenn 2 53 aM
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Only place I know is in adw settings..general behavior..doubletap actions..hide status bar

Or make longpress toggle it in cm settings..input..any of those buttons
[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
OK. 1 Thing found out. You can hide individual notifications by sliding me to the left or right from the notification pull up bar.

Need to clear other things now...I dont use ADW as it sucks big time. Its not smooth at all.

Edit : ROM is pretty good. good battery life for me.. :)

Need to set the position of the quick shortcuts in the notification bar. How do I do that?

EDIT 2 : Did anyone get the "Power button ends call" to work??? My screen just turns off and nothing else happens.. call doesn't end :( Dev please fix this....
[Motorola Photon 4G] enzyme:
2 issues:

1) voicemail - I installed the provided zip for visual vm. Each time I get a vm, it would say my inbox is full and I can not view until messages are viewed/deleted. My inbox is actually empty. Notification will always say I have 6 vm. Clicking it from notif. will dial *86 which leads to an invalid message. Not big deal, my workaround is clearing notification, and calling my # to manage vm.

2) SMS - Whenever I initiate a conversation via SMS, I will get a reply, then followed by countless duplicates of that same reply. It could be that I am getting those duplicates each time they send me something, can't confirm. But I will sometimes receive replies intended a day or two earlier. This is a big issue for me.

Both of these have been occurring since fresh flashing, and have occurred during other flashes of the same version as well. I am on the latest version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mulhiny:
I have the same issue with the visual voicemail app saying it's full. You can can change the number it dial from *86..It's in your phone settings.

Getting videos to play.

Hi all, I just noticed 1 thing... the videos wont open in the browser.. They all open in the Movie Player.

I used to open my videos in the browser itself *eg Dolphin Browser HD* when i was on the stock rom. How do i get the same behavior? Earlier, it ran into some error where it always said, Sorry failed to play the video. I had to restart the phone. Anyone can you help me out?
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
If they're flash videos then they'll play in the browser. If they're HTML5 videos then you can stream them with a video player.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Juvenile24:
hi guys, i was just wondering if this Kang 7.2 Rom is compaitable with my Motorola Atrix 4G? If not, cant someone post me a link to the most recent updated version?

Im planning on flashing my phone cause since Motorolas recent update for my phone has been laggy and unstable. I decided to try out one of the custom ROMs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] enzyme:
would my SMS problem might have anything to do with this error I get each time I reboot?

Sorry! The process come.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Are you restoring system data via Titanium backup. Like sms/mms messages? Backup the messages with smsbackup or similar from the market.

Try clearing data for the mms app and reboot. Also when using the VVM fix, you are using a 2.3.4 MMS from AOSP that fixes 9016 texts when using VVM. You can try reflashing the rom to get back the 2.3.7 MMS that's comes with the ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
As is, probably not and idk if it will boot. You will need to swap some atrix/cm7 files to get it running. You might ask the atrix forums about what needs to be swapped out. It just has more theming options over the Atrix CM7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Hey cougarcougar just wondering if you plan on doing another build sometime. Thanks for all you do
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
It be a few days. I'm testing a kernel based on faux's 2.6.32.57 sources
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Here's the cm7 kernel based on faux123 Atrix kernel 2.6.32.57 sources. No overclocking yet. http://www.mediafire.com/?20qzaqj4p198d9n

Now i'll get back to getting the wifi connection sorted out in the ramdisk. Then a new build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
I'll have to try it out when you integrate overclocking. Thanks for your work :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] DarkAndr0id:
Hi I just wanted to report that the volume is very low when using poweramp, I disabled Direct Volume Control and it got fixed but the volume is not as good as before, thanks for this great rom by the way :thumbup:
[Motorola Photon 4G] YzRacer:
I am having a problem with the camera/gallery and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Sometimes when I shoot some pictures and then try to share them the wrong photo gets attached to the email or mms. I will have to remove the attachment and try again, and now I find myself always having to check the filename or preview to make sure I am not sending inappropriate pics to the wrong person.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
So what does this new kernel do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] DarkAndr0id:
Actually it feels like the sound lost it's punch or bass, sorry I'm kind of an audiophile, is this because of the kernel?:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Have you tried messing with the DSP?

CyanogenMod 7.2 Overclocked to 1.4 Photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
New 3-3-2012 build.

Edit fixing a few things

A fresh sync with cyanogen. I will list more changes when i wake up. Added notification background chooser from jerryscript. Jokersax 1.3 kernel and sunfireparts for hdmi audio.

This includes some wifi wpa supplicant changes, so check to see how it connects automatically. Flashing a kernel will overwrite those settings.

One bug is audioeffects.apk did not get copied over. Grab it from the 2/10 build till i fix it. Also grab the phone.apk, was trying to fix the double touch tones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DarkAndr0id:
I did it and it really improved the sound, thanks.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

I forgot to format the filesyste coming from stock rooted, does it really affects, everything looks fine to me, just want to be sure I'm doing it right :D.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Did you release this build or is it being worked on right now? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Yeah i pulled it and uploading now with fixes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Great thanks, Does that include where we needed to add the phone.apk and audioeffectsettings.apk inside this build?

[Motorola Photon 4G] b4ifuru18:
Testing. Will let you know what occurs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
I have tested the new build. Is it me or does it seem more responsive? If it's just me I like it! But as far as the wifi connecting, so far so good, It does take a minute or two longer connecting vs flashing the other 1.3 kernal where its pretty fast connecting. But I love it! Thanks

Also has anyone got the SD-EXT to work right after flashing without having to apply the script? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
If you change this line in the build.prop it will connect faster.

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=90

Here's another boot.img with some more wifi dhcp and wpa supplicant tweaking and the build.prop edited to 30 .
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Thanks for the fast update!! Much appreciated! That was the first thing I checked. I noticed it was set at 90. I than set it to 60sec and it connected right at 60. but I thought when you lowered these number here it reduces the battery life since its trying to connect so much if there's not a wifi present? But I will give this a try thanks a bunch
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
The behavior before, if you went out of range of wifi, it wouldn't reconnect or connect to a new wifi signal. I'm testing a few settings to see which work or not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
Are the gapps included in the OP still up to date? I guess it wouldn't matter too much anyway since you could update them manually.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
I am def. reconnecting to my wifi when I go out of range. I ran to the store after I had the new build flashed and everything setup and wifi connected. When I came back It took the three min. to reconnect but it did.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffrimerman:
I'm at 1x

It's a great smooth rom. I just want to make sure I have it set right. I'm getting 1x internet 90% of the time or 99% really. Before I flashed I had the stock rom only showing 3g. The 3g comes on but goes to 1x as soon as I see activity with the arrows. I have the 2-26 version. Maybe it's my area, but I'm in Pasadena downtown so it should be ok. Any idea, or setting change I need to do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Try this for a notification backdrop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Ok I flashed back to the latest build and flashed the wifi fix. I have no problems reconnecting back to the network or anything. It just takes the 30 secs to reconnect from what's in the build.prop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Jokersax said Motorola's stock rom didn't have 1x and always showed 3G no matter what signal we got 1x or 3G. Maybe Sprint fooling us. You can tell by signal strength if you change it to read db instead of bars.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
I just recently had an issue with my 3g. I had to go back to stock on my electrify so I dunno if this is why since Im on an electrify. But I know for a fast that 1x showed. That's the only thing I could get until they did something on there end and than I had 3g back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] piercenkc:
this might be a dumb question - but i am in paris until june. i am running on the gsm bands for talk/3g. if i root/flash this rom, will there be any issues connecting to the providers out here?
[Motorola Photon 4G] njankit:
no absolutely not. Just follow all the steps properly! Also please note that rooting and flashing are different things. You dont have to worry about rooting as CM roms are pre-rooted
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Cougar: On the latest build, I tried flashing Joker's Kernal again so wifi would act as it should, but I still have the elongated wait with the wifi. Any reason?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Which are you trying to flash? Are you flashing his kernel zip?
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Yes I am trying to flash his newest 1.3 zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Yeah his zip uses Cybik's old ramdisk to make his boot.img. So it will overwrite any changes i made to the ramdisk. That version had problems with wifi disconnecting. Joker's latest 1.3 is what's in the rom and my last boot.img addon. Unless he has something newer. So just flash the boot.img addon I made.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Ok, Im not sure, It seemed last build and flashing jokers kernal wifi instantly turned on or almost when you restart the phone, now it has to wait the 30 secs to connect. But on his build.prop is was set to 90. Am I missing something?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Oh, that could be the iprenewal, but I'm not sure if it takes that long. But that is the fix that keeps the wifi connection from dropping out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
Not to sound like I'm rushing you or anything, but are you going to try to get it get the wifi to work better?

Also, any way to fix the random heptic feedback cutting in and out?
[Motorola Photon 4G] coolqf:
Anyone else experience this with this ROM?

You make a call and it quickly shows "call ended," but it's merely showing the LAST call that you ended. After a few seconds, 2-3, the phone makes the call, and you can then go into the dial pad (as if loading the app to make a call). With the BLUR roms this never happens, but the battery on this ROM is wonderful! =D
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
Wow..... MMS is working perfectly on this build.

Simply awesome ..
[Motorola Photon 4G] hodiedodie:
This ROM is my new daily. On all Benchmarks it out performs the Rocko ROM!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Mini update might be coming soon...

When you change the color to the clock, it will change the date, battery, and signal text.. after a reboot.

Fixes to camera focus muting.

Goo-inside-me app support maybe... still figuring it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I installed this build last night. Wanna say that cm9 eats less battery for same usage.

Not sure why.

idle time of cm7 is -26mA per 5 minutes here, cm9 - 14mA per 5 minutes in idle mode at night.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
That's odd. I don't know why, but with Cybik cm7 and a few tweaks, i got massive battery. 2 days multiple times.That was at 1.4 oc too. I'm sticking with cm9 now, getting 16-20 hours, depending on usage. I'm still using beta .0.2.0 2d though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
Using 3-3-12 version with custom auto brightness levels and screen time out at 1 minute.

Steps to recreate bug:

Leave the screen on for a while.

Screen dims, screen brightness increases to original level for 2 seconds (bug), screen turns off.

Has anyone experienced this behavior on their Photon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
I have tried for a while setting the automatic brightness. I have been more successful but never completely. Do you might sharing you settings? Or how to set it up correctly? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
I know what you mean. It is a bit confusing; I followed a guide and then tweaked the brightness levels to my liking. I'll try to find that guide and post up my settings in a bit.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
This guy does a pretty good job of explaining each setting: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/626-cm7-autobacklight-settings-customize-your-phone-backlight-settings/

And here are my settings:
[Motorola Photon 4G] BHermes21:
By looking at yours I set mine way off. But never found any help with setting our phone up. I was under the impression under the lower column I had 1 through 10 set. Since the sensor was only reading those numbers. But anyway I will set it up like this. And under the rest of the setting what do you have set if you mind. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
For the rest of the settings I have them the same as the OP in the rootzwiki thread I linked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:

It says it was provisioned and shows the welcome to voicemail, but still won't download the voicemail. It says it is full, but it also says to unlock the locked voicemails so they auto delete, but there didn't seem to be any option when I call to go through the settings.
