7-8hrs is top on stock with data always on, and believe me I've done that wiping and calibration stuff, and well as I said, that for me, maybe different from others :)

that's one of the main reason,why I decided using custom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
I had unbelievable battery life on stock with the battery manager set to maximum (not to be confused with Data Saver). I could hit 2 days or more like I could on the old modded HTC Diamond.

The switch was worth it though and now I get 24-36 hours with autosync and wifi on using jokersax kernel at 1000 Mhz.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
Wifi isn't connecting for me either. I flashed from cm9 alpha 21 because I need camera for awhile. Wifi is the only issue so far with this sweet rom.is there a setting that can be tweaked to get wifi to connect?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
For now, i only have the wifi tweak working with the stock kernel. If you flash another kernel, it loses it. Next build will have jokers kernel.

If you are having bad battery life, let's see the wakelocks in spareparts/battery history/partial wake usage.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NukeFish:
I'll give it another go when the next build comes out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
I only have bad battery life when the screen is on. I get like 14 hours when its idl all day.

Wifi tweak?

[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
hey guys, I installed this CM7.2 and latest cybik origin work on cm7. His latest build works much better, talking about battery. In this 7.2 something wrong with video rendering, it drains battery so heavy!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
+1 on your handle and running this ROM

What theme is that? Also you only used your phone a little bit.

Anyone having issues with send pics. Mine just says sending and no one recieves it. But text go with no issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
I improved battery life by NOT using the power control Widget. If you have that widget on the screen, it will put the display at full brightness after a wake up, even if you set it not to or to "auto".

After removing the widget, the brightness stays how you have set it and helps with battery immensely.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Yes, but I want to use my phone throughout the day, constantly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
For those, having WiFi problems, try to switch /system/bin/dhcpcd for dhcpcd from cm9. For now, looks like it solved the not reconnect issue for me.

I am still missing backlight transition in cm7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
Where do I acquire such a dhcpcd?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
Download a jokersax kernel and underclock to 800 MHz. You'll never notice, but your battery will.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
DSPManager is FC every time a call is initiated. If I rename it in /system/app so I can disable it will there be any negative consequences?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
I loaded up the 1-30-2012 release to test things out. all works perfectly except when using my car-dock.. the dock app does not auto launch, and the audio was not redirected thru the dock as it should.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
In alphacm9.zip, system, bin folder.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
I downloaded one of the 1.4 cm7 kernels. My phone is working beautifully now. The wifi is back and acting correctly too!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
Interesting. Keep us posted on your wifi experience.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
It didn't work. Now wifi won't work at all. Thanks anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
And how does what I suggest prevent you from using your phone???

What I am saying is that the power Widget makes your phone use FULL BRIGHTNESS (Which is a heavy drain on your battery) on your display once it wakes back up, no matter what you set it to previously.. Remove the widget.. set your screen brightness manually, done...

Mine lasts all day.. Unplugged at 9am, goes right thru to 12/1am most days...
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
Its called minimal bread on the market
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
obviously, when the phone goes full bright, it gives off an aura of Chuck Norris granting the user the power to actually use the phone.

Where can I download the kernel? The thread with the files has dead links, and I can't find the link through jokersax.com. Where should I go to find the file?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:

Anyone having this issue? Am I the only one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Here's the stock 2 point touch files.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
Currently touches are not registered on the edges of the screen. If we flash that file will it fix it?

Also, any advice on my DSPManager FC issues?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
That file will just bring you back to stock behavior.

Yeah there's an overlay that I'll try in the next build.

I'm trying to get a fc on dspmanager. No luck yet.

Try clearing the dsp app data in settings or titanium b/up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Did you chmod and chown the replaced dhcpcd file correctly? ;-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xecuter2:
I am having the video record bug where the orientation is always landscape. The odd thing is the icons at the bottom change with orientation until you press record, at which point it is stuck 100% in landscape. It even shows up through hdmi as landscape, really weird! Anyone know of a fix for this by chance?
[Motorola Photon 4G] coolqf:
I also have this issue from time to time with the stock kernel. If I reboot daily I do not gee this problem. I think it has to do with the encryption that my router uses, which is wpa2, and not the kernel.

Anyone ran into strange camera coloring issues with this ROM? I took a video and ever since I did that my videos and camera have a strange green coloring to them. I've tried obvious things like setting my AW Balance and even restarting but it keeps happening. Front facing camera seems fine. Attached is a picture I took last night of a small woodworking project that is made of pine, so should be very light colored and you can see the strange coloration. It happens in all lighting... indoor and outdoors.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Try setting the white balance to fluorescent.

Usually plug in your charger.. Always work for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigelroy123:

[Motorola Photon 4G] jeggen:
As I said, tried every WB possible and still was totally out of whack. Ended up having to go into Settings -> Applications -> Camera and Reset Data. Just thought I'd post it on here since I never ran into the issue on stock and thought it might be a CM issue that others had seen. As an example, attached are two images - exact same WB settings, one before data reset and one after.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Small suggestion.

Try the blue sleep fix on my website with cm7. Might double your battery life

I was wondering how to use the security pattern lock screen in settings instead of the ring. If I enable the pattern lock than I have the ring lock and the pattern lock come up. How can i get rid of the ring lock screen and only have the pattern lock screen? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
First setup your Lockscreen gestures for "unlock phone"

Now you can unlock your phone by either the rings or gesture

To turn off the slider/rings... goto settings/cm settings/lockscreen/unlock options... then check "disable unlock slider". There's "skip on security" also, but it works still leaving that unchecked.

[Motorola Photon 4G] WHYDavid:
Extract the 3 files in the zip and move them to the xbin folder (it's under the system folder in root). Then change the permissions on all 3 files (Read and Write for Owner, Group and Others ; Execute for Owner and Group only). On my 1st reboot, the sdcard unmounted. When I rebooted again, everything was fine.

I downloaded the files from your site.

Some suggest downloading GO sms Pro from market, that worked for some of us..(if your okay with not using stock app for texting/mms)
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
Make sure that you mount your system as r/rw . It sounds like you are applying the changes, then trying a reboot, and they are gone because your system was read only. Hence the same MD5.
[Motorola Photon 4G] msnglink:
i have no proub not using stock. thanks for the info will try it out
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
I renames the originals first using rom toolbox. Then moved the files that I downloaded to where they go. They are the same. Just did a md5 on the files again on my workstation and the md5's match.

I am using cybik's cm7 23JAN edition with jokers 1.3 cm7 kernel from a while back.

I was interesting in testing this because more battery life is always a + for me. IMO it is great as is, but more = better. Seeing that the same files were already there prevents the placebo effect. This may have no meaning for me anyways since I don't have Bluetooth enabled.

I also think that my wires might be crossed since the bluesleep "development" for the atrix is in the CM9 thread and this is a CM7 thread.
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Has anyone actually seen an increase in battery life with Joker's blue sleep fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WHYDavid:
Only been using it for about 12 hours. Haven't seen much difference yet. However, I didn’t have any major problems with battery life before making the changes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
Battery

Just felt like sharing. Kept bluetooth on majority of the time. This what i would call very lite use, didnt have many phone calls but mainly just texts and alarm clock ha ha. no games (expect did play some solitaire yesterday for a while), some pandora while in the truck, i tired to stretch life out as much as i could to know what it could do. but still its great to know there is solid idle time with the build.

*note - using jokers 1.4OC kernel w all speeds set to -75. 1-30 build for CM7

Nice rom. Nice work. Waiting for the next release with the over clocking kernel. I'm getting the best battery life on this rom. People complaining should follow the instructions and perform a clean install. And if problems persist please stop complaining. Developer is already working hard on this rom and submitting known bugs again and again won't help him. Be patient and be thankfull. This guy is not getting paid for his work. He is doing this because its his hobby and he likes to share his work. We all should be thanking him rather than complaining. Totally loving the experience. Thanks to the developer.

wifi disconnects on me, but could be my router. Airplane mode fixes it. I'll watch logs

That last one might fix itself if you flash joker's kernel again. Just check to see if sd-ext gets mounted properly as it's the full boot.img.

[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
Think I found a bug, although a very, very rare one at that. Was backing up some apps before jumping to CM9 for a bit and as I was sliding a notification away, I received a text (and new notification) and this was the result:

My entire notification drop down froze. I couldn't select anything, couldn't dismiss anything, but when plugged into USB a notification for that would appear. Nothing short of a reboot could fix this.

Not a big deal and probably something ill never experience again but figured I'd throw it out there anyway.

Try a couple things. Did you wipe cache between flashes? See if a reboot fixes it. Next try forgetting the network, then reboot. See if it will connect. If not try clearing wifi access points data

Last step would be to flash jokers 1.3 kernel if nothing else worked
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
It's weird, before it was turning on then instantly turning back off, I reboot into CWM and wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache, and booted back in, was already connecting to Wifi, entered AP information and it connect, but market does not connect and browser doesn't either, but for some reason I can get messages from IMO IM beta, and now. . If if turn off Wifi, it turns back on by itself immediately, even after forgetting network.

I'll go ahead and flash the other kernel see if it fixes it, thanks.
