Love the rom so far. However i only get a display of my phone screen on my lapdock?

Also the browser fc's often
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I am really starting to like the launcher. Great rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Unfortunately bootstrap and webtop don't get along so a bootstrap version would not have webtop+. The goal of this ROM is a tuned/lightweight ROM/WebTop setup that pushes the true limitations of the MoPho.

Did you wipe Dalvik as well? (I plan on having minor updates flashable over the base ROM so users don't have to reflash full releases)

Until we have unlocked 4G I may remove or change the 4G icon so it doesn't show up.

What til you hook up to a TV/lapdock and mirror in landscape mode.

Other issues not in this post

I will be going back through the ROM and fixing what can be fixed and releasing an update today as well as a couple other goodies.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
When I use the lapdock, it says unsupported device. I can choose mirroring, but lapdock buttons and mouse don't work. If I use Nebtop, I can choose webtop, but I have to use the touch screen on the phone. Am I doing something wrong?:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Sounds like you are using the Atrix lapdock. That's the same dock I use. It will always give "unsupported device", just ignore it. Here's how I use my Airix lapdock;

With lapdock screen closed, insert phone into dock

Open lapdock screen (It should boot you into webtop)

The unsupported device error tends to throw a lot of people off.

*Nebtop is for webtop without a dock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
I'm having same problem and using the lapdock 100.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
Im not getting unsupported device but it just doesnt boot webtop for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Holy sh@t. Don't ever get old. The reason it wouldn't work, is I forgot to take the case off of my phone.:o Wow!

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Make sure your phone is awake when you put it on, then open the lapdock. Oh ya, and don't forget to take the case off of your phone. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] tcf84:
Pretty excited to try this out. I'm in the process of backing up my current rom and I'm about to flash it asap. I'll be back later with thoughts and feedback!
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
Case is off ,phones awake

Ive tried 1000 different ways. Nothing seems to get it working.

I reflashed again too just incase.

Im at a loss here
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Did jokercomplete, webtop+ or UbunTop ever work for you?
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Why is the file for 1.0 huge and 1.0.1 small? Is 1.0.1 the full rom or just a patch or something?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
1.0.1? I have no idea what you're talking about!!! (I'm uploading an v1.0.1 updater for existing users as well as an updated full release for new users. I'll let everybody when it's a go)
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
I see 1.0.1 right here...

http://www.martian-imperium.com/Downloads.html
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
I ran ubuntop for a while. Then i switched to cm9/cm7. This is my first stockish rom since.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Try flashing webtop+ and let me know if that works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
Already gave it a try. Formatted osh and flashed webtop +. Nothings changed ..
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
then its the connection to the dock. Make sure its seated good
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
OKay this is weird!

so i flashed back to cm7.2 from Imperium to compare and save apps to sdcard. but anyway the weird thing is when I tried flashing back to Imperium I get stuck at the 'contacting network' thing?? lol never happened before

btw i do all the wipes necessary for flashing new roms

any help is appreciated

thanks guys!

Nvm I fixed it! ha GREAT ROM! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Imperium Initiative v1.0.1 update is live. Flash from recovery and wipe both cache and Dalvik then reboot.

Full version is still uploading but should go live in about an hour.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
I get hdmi mirroring on it just no webtop.

Nebtop doesnt bring it up either
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
Can you flash the V1.0.1 update over the V1.0 build or do you have to flash the Full Rom then update? :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Flash it over v1.0 wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
Raindrop mod

'Round where I live, I would prefer to have raindrop detection enabled. My screen was a bunch of melted snowflakes earlier today and I was very happy about Motorola's decision.

Is there any way to disable the mod on your otherwise appealing ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
Alrighty! Thank you and well done with the camera fix
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Just to test it I sprinkled my screen with water with the app drawer open and nothing happened. If you find that having the raindrop detection disabled causes issues let me know and I'll post a raindrop detection re-enabler.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
Benchmark on USCC Electrify at 6350

Very pleased and impressed.

Thanks Lokifish Marz
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
If you're running antutu your results will be invalid. During testing I've found that there's almost no variance in scores at 1ghz and 1.3ghz. If interested I'll post through benchmarks for everybody but that takes some time to run.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
I am running antutu :/ Now that you mentioned it I went back and looked at it and you're right! hmm. Any other good benchmark apps out there?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
There's a number of apps that need to be run to give you a good indication of performance. It's also not a run is once and done affair either. Killing unwanted apps in task manager is a common mistake as well. A short test requires at least five runs after a fresh reboot. Standard runs are 10 and long runs are 20. Some of the hardcore benching sites/groups tend to reject anything under 10 runs.

I'll run some standard run benches tonight and post results and testing methods. This should give a good base line that's easily verifiable by users. Please remember that benches are great for testing fixes and deving but are not a true representation of performance.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
Numbers would be a good idea and your reminder is noted. Thanks for everything man! Everything is responding very well with Uscc's electrify
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
try licking the screen then smear it into the soft keyboard. Then rofl. Mine lasted 45 seconds before force closing the keyboard.

I licked my finger first btw not the screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] arpit007jain:
Hey how did you fixed it? I'm stuck on that too.. it keeps repeating..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I'm still playing with the server layout but expect to see an update tomorrow. I have some goodies for everybody in coming update. I'll also post a Raindrop Detection re-enabler for those that want it and the benchmark results.
[Motorola Photon 4G] prezmater:
Wow...beautiful.

No one should judge this ROM without first flashing it. I was iffy when I looked at the pictures, I thought the red be a little much, but I am super glad that I decided to give it a try. It's smooth and sexy, and the red is no where near as gaudy as it appeared to me in the screen caps. I love it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Question. Are your current settings better than speedy7 tweaks?
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Very nice Loki. Thanks for your efforts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
Before installing the Rom I opened up the file (via winrar)>system>app then scroll all the way down until you see 'SprintOMADM.apk' (DELTE THAT) Then I installed and it worked!

Another Electrify user said he just deleted all the Sprint apk files in the app folder then installed it.

I just know the way I did it works for a fact.

Hope that helps!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gack69:
Finished uploading...

Looks like the full version of 1.0.2 has finished uploading on Lokifish's website for those interested...I just downloaded it.

BTW....are there any MD5's for these? Just my paranoid side...always worried I'll flash a corrupt zip.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
Curious to know what's in the new UPDATE!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Can anyone tell me if the calendar issue has been fixed in the newest update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] prezmater:
That's what I am waiting on as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ping33tx:
Been running it for eight hours straight and been doing alot of multitasking like crazy and not ONE single Force Close.Great rom awesome work Devs.

[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
If I am coming from a different rom do I just falsh then wipe/wipe?

I'v never heard of flashing then wiping afterward before anyone know the reason for that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
If you flash the full rom, it will wipe everything for you. If you are running this rom, and flash an update, you have to wipe the cache yourself. Doesn't matter if you do it before or after.
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Are gapps built in? What is the "v1.0.2 Update.zip" compared to the rom itself (Imperium_Initiative_v.1.0.2.zip)?

Do I need to flash them both?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
ROFL indeed. Only a true developer would lick their phone :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes gapps is included. If you flash the full rom 1.0.2 there is no need to flash update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sowd3:
just noticed after doing USCC APN settings still cant send or receive any MMS
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
The new update has even more tweaks and edits to improve data speeds and stock clock performance. It also adds elegos' ROM Updater to provide better update support. I know ROM Manager is the preferred method however it may be a while before Imperium Initiative is supported. With ROM Updater, once I got my server layout setup it took less than 30mins have the updater go live.

*About that bloody calendar. It's still not fixed, the "4ghi" issue is not in the app so I need to hunt it down and kill it.

I've had a couple requests for an Imperium support banner/logo. I'll get something together and link it in the first post.

Did you get it working?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mujju85:
i m not able send any file via bluetooth even i cant see option to send via bluthooth Mr develooper plz check it
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Are Sprint proxies zero'd out on this rom or do I need to to enter my MSL to do it manually?

CyanogenMod 7.2 Overclocked to 1.4 Photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Redownload the update and reflash. It should be there.

All proxies are zero'd out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigj225:
I must say I am very impressed with this ROM. Speed is crazy and I finally can run webtop with out ram warnings all the time
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gack69:
Loving it so far...

Been using this for a few days now...really like the update...seems smoother. I do have one request though. Is it possible to restore the desktop clock feature. I guess that's what its called...what I mean is, the clock that is normally shown when I open the kickstand. I use this at night as my alarm clock...and this feature appears to be missing at this point. Atleast not working on mine...maybe it is a setting that I need to turn on? Dunno...just would love to have it back

TIA and loving life on Mars!
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Can I flash v.1.0.2 coming from a different rom or do I need to start with 1.0?

Getting:

E:Can't open /sdcard/Imperium_Initiative_v.1.0.2.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigj225:
I flashed mine just fine.... wiped everything and flashed zip. Maybe you received a bad download
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Which one do you want Stock desk clock or Google's desk clock (I prefer google's)?

If coming from another ROM you need the full version. Try downloading it from the mirror and see if you get the same issue. (I keep forgetting about MD5's, sorry)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Gack69:
Not sure what the differences are...I am used to the one that was in Cybiks ROM that has recently been KANG'd. So long as it has the DIMMER feature (too bright otherwise, would keep me awake) I would love either I suppose.

Tx sir! You are a ROCK STAR!
[Motorola Photon 4G] medic233:
Loki, first thank you for this work.

After I forever locked my photon going down the wrong pudding hole I was very gun shy about unlocking.

This ROM changed my mind.

Second, to add my two cents about the clock, I would prefer the Google one that also has the weather. I tried to decompile the one on my wife's NS4G, and botched it severely(I don't know what the eff I'm doing!)

Again, thank you!

Experiencing a problem with youtube. It freezes the phone and reboots after about 5min of video watching
[Motorola Photon 4G] carrilloevo:
How's battery life on this rom so far?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
i flashed this and was using it for about a day, over all pretty good. didnt think i would like the red, but it grows in you. I kept getting my contacts force closing along with the dialer so i switched back to ics.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigj225:
I am having some issues with my lapdock, the image on the screen is not filling the entire screen as if it is set for a different resolution.
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
What is the overclock on this?

Are there any other kenels we can flash for it?

Battery life feedback anyone?

Flashing it tonight when I get home.
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
First big problem I notice is this:

Keyboard will not go to landscape mode when phone is tilted on it's side. Is there a setting I am missing or what?

So far I like everything else.

I don't understand what the 5th icon is all the way to the right on the drop down status bar widgets?

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Yeah, I re-downloaded and flashed just fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
The Google Clock will be in the next update

I downloaded the Youtube app and ran a couple 1hr vids with no issues. Try uninstalling, rebooting and reinstall it.

Try a reboot. You could also try setting the screen size via the settings in the upper right. (BTW even bone stock Photons get this from time to time)

The max OC is 1.3GHz but 99% of the time you will never need it. (I have mine underclocked to 800MHz most of the time)

Joker has some test kernels but I don't recommend unless you want to help joker out with testing.

I haven't done any detailed testing yet it as it takes forever to do.

The KB issue is most likely related to that 5th icon. The 5th icon is "Enable screen rotation" If it's red then the screen should rotate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mujju85:
I reflashed full version of 1.0.2 but still cant find send via bluetooth its giv me error No applications can performe this action
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Downloaded last night and I have to say this is a pretty sick rom.

Anyway you can incorporate the dbm reading to appear in status bar rather than signal bars like CM7 does?

Keep up the good work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] medic233:
Loki, silly question.

This has rom has been placed in the rom updater repository, correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigj225:
Thamks will give it a try
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
i downloaded 1.0.2 it looked like it dl'd fine

but i did a full wipe and went to flash it ...and no good

re downloading now

ps...mirror link is broken aswell

back to CM9 if i can't get this second DL working...sprint user here

EDIT....redownloaded and did another full wipe and restart on CWM....loaded up first try

gonna test it out and let you know...also installed ur launcher settings...already looks alot nicer..
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I moved my server and in the process some of the files got corrupted. I will set up a new link/page/FTP account for Loki
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
Anyone else have wifi turn off randomly? I noticed it happens much less than on rocko, but it still happens :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I tested Speedy "as-is" and showed a noticeable drop performance. In short, Yes.

"Cleaning house" tonight and testing some changes to the update server. I'm also looking at even further Blur removal but at this point "nice extras" will start disappearing. An example is that the blur music player provides built-in shoutcast, podcast and FMRadio support. I personally like having those features all in one place but would like to hear from you guys.

EDIT:

Here's the benchmarks as promised. After five standard runs (sets of 10 runs each) on a fresh install I'm getting a deviation of about 200 points. For those interested in battery performance it score 677 on antutu tester for what it's worth. Screenshots of my personal SetCPU config attached below.
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Loki, is it true that when you undervolt the Photon (Tegra 2) that the incriments can not exceed 100 per level (the "current" mV not the undervolt amount) or it will default to stock settings?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
I am another one who wasn't big on the idea of the red coloring, but I admit I am loving this ROM so far, excellent job. My only real gripe would be that the battery icon seems to be a tad too large.

Spped is fantastic, better then expectedLook forward to seeing how this performs over several days. I am pretty sure I will be sticking with this for a while.
[Motorola Photon 4G] medic233:
I like being able to tune into my favorite radio stations on the phone. Just my .02.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
Ok so far so good

Only gripe is i think u stripped back to much..lol

The feature im super sad bout losing is the "share" button when veiwing photos

U used to be able to click on the photo hit share to ...facebook..email..text..etc

Can we get that back
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:

Set CPU is not showing is not showing the governer selections.... The selection box Is greyed out .... Any suggestions
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Same for me going to try a different kernel see if that changes anything ill edit post if it does

Nope still greyed out and now it reads kernel max in the 500's used jokers 1.3 blur test kernel ive used it on rocko without any issue before (meaning less than 24 hours ago) am a photon 198_7 unlocked rooted rom racer recovery flashed the full rom .2 loving it so far though nice work loki

Uninstalled setcpu and reinstalled. It reads max frequency right now but governor is still greyed out
[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
I may have found my new daily driver.

I saw this release from day one on the forums, but didn't have time to load it up till today. I am very happy to see that SPB Shell loads up just fine (it crashes on all other joker based roms, except jokercompletev1).

I will continue testing my daily tasks, but i expect all will be fine as it passed my first round of tests.

Great work!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] WHYDavid:
My understanding, from reading posts throughout these forums, is that the CPUs are self-governed and cannot/should not be governed externally...
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Loki, Could you share some of your SetCPU wisdom with us? I have 3 questions:

1.

I was under the under the assumption that when undervolting the Photon (Tegra 2) that the incriments can not exceed a 100mV step per level (the "current" or "saved" (on the left) mV not the actual negative undervolt amount itself (on the right) or it will default to stock settings??? Joker also verified this is true, but in your screen shot you have jumps that are more than 100mV from one level to the next so I am confused...

2.

Also, lots of us have the Scaling governor grayed out but yours is set to "Powersave"? Can you explain how to make the field active so the drop down will allow different selections? Were you using a different kernel on those screenshots?

3.

Could you explain what the little icons mean next to SetCPU 2.2.4 autodetect?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
1 you can put it at -500 it still limits it to 100. This is how I designed the UV code. I also put in sod protection.

2 use CPU master
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Noticed that. Tried to push it -275@216 to find the voltage floor on my dev photon and it never held. I tried an unlocked UV setup and -275 was unstable anyways so it doesn't matter.

With the governor setting, I cheated. Used cpu tuner free or rom toolbox to set the governor once and rebooted. The governor setting then shows up in setcpu. CPU Master matches the dark theme of the UI I just don't want to purchase yet another CPU controller app.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
CPU master free
[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
I finished further testing, almost everything works perfect.. With the exception of the calendar not working with corporate exchange service. I hope to see this fixed in a future release.
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
When I reboot my phone, I lose all the settings I enter into CPU Master other than the profiles... any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:

[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Already did...
[Motorola Photon 4G] carrilloevo:
Do I need to be on 198_7 or can I flash this on 198_6? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
Exceptional battery life today, best I have had on a phone is several years I would say (except for on my new T-Mobile GSII today which outdid it only because it is a 2nd line and was used very little while I was playing with the Photon all day)
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Does video capture 1080 or 720 on this rom? Just asking before making a decision between this or jokercomplete which I know has 1080p.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I didn't try yet, but since it's based on skinny2test3, it should have 1080

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

no 1080p in that firmware, checked
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
In the process of moving back to this. Went back to CM9 last night and I was stupid and forgot to make a nandroid backup of the beautiful setup I had with Imperium. Since CM9 has been a bouncy ride since last night I figured its a good time to go back to this and set it up again, will make sure to make a nandroid afterwards.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RhinoDoc:
I had rooted my phone months ago, but never unlocked it so I wasn't playing with ROMs at all. I finally decided I didn't use 4g enough not to proceed, so I did and the first ROM I tried was CM9. Wow! It was light years beyond anything I had used on prior phones (Hero, Evo). However, it still had some glitches and so I decided to try something a little more stable and went with Imperium a couple days ago. I love it! Battery life is unbelievable - I didn't have a bad issue before, it typically lasted all day and I charge it overnight, I have a spare battery if I am running low, but I got home last night with about 70% (as opposed to the more typical 30% or so). I am liking the VT.Launcher, too. I will probably try CM9 again, especially since a lot of the bugs have been worked out and they are on beta release now, but it will have to really knock my socks off to make me change my daily driver.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
ROM Updater is not flashing the update correctly. You can still DL via the updater then flash manually

1.0.3 update is live. Fairly extreme deblur at this point making the ROM+Kernel 118MB/130APK's including system APK's. Memory usage is down to 139MB (see attached image). All that remains of blur is;

Camera

Contacts

Dialer

Gallery

Music

Further blur romoval is possible (camera, gallery, music)

Fixed;

Calendar fixed (replaced with AOSP calendar)

Replaced blur clock with AOSP clock

Verified BT transfers working with zip and image files

Backup your apps before flashing this update just to be safe.

A 9.x.x series may show up in the next day or two. These are test builds and are not to be daily user releases!
