I tried it on my Photon 4g unlocked to GSM..

I get Com.android.phone crash at start up all time..

i tried using the 4636 thing and set to GSM only, still i get the same crash..

Then when i select Network selection to Automatic, i get Bar and none of my call gets connected..

Now am back to Stock Rom..

PS

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I looked at Atrix release notes last night...they're having same issues with settings not being fully functional. I think that when they changed the entire look of the settings, they borked some things in the process...line APN menu not working at this time. Fix will probably come with a future release. But I REALLY like the new settings menus.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
so was using pretty good last night/this am. everything seems to be working fine, i was getting phantom "back" presses closing out apps, but since i flashed the latest .23 everything is good to go. i did notice the apn issue, don't know if that has to do with CM9's lockout or if it is MIUI. also, looking at themes, the status bar doesn't change, it was changing before. im using neon bt and hc668. i tried the black ice and couldn't get the lock screen to unlock.

overall great job guys, keep it up!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
yeah themes are having issues only really theming the icons and come boxes from what i can tell check in button in settings menu see if you have hold back to kill checked... just about done uping to mirrors and to miui but we still have no device listing on romdownloads page and the mods there arent responding to my pm's so idk whats going on over there maybe a slow moving day???
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
there currently is no built in switch. Need to swap the info for emmc and sdcard mount points in vold.fstab I can make a flash able zip later on.

No offense, but please don't be demanding. There are only 2 of us doing thus build. We will try to answer your questions but we both have the wife and kids thing, so at times we are with them. Also, we do this for fun. We work hard to help everyone, so please be patient :)

We are working hard to get all the kinks out...though there aren't very many left that are NOT MIUI based (theming issues-caused by new system settings and MMS-listed problem on MIUI.US site). Right now, I'm working to get rid of the multiple antenna outputs in the banner.

Thank you! We certainly work hard to ensure that everyone can enjoy MIUI :)

The update zips are already set aside so they will be worked into the next release :)

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I am still relatively new at this, but have done TONS of reading on a LOT of things, so with any luck, I can point you in the right direction. Only thing I have NOT tried so far is full custom kernel writing (have done boot.img editing), and compiling a rom from source. :)

For Angry Birds :

It only happens after you pause the game for more then 10-15 sec. And when you go back the the game, the bird hops and skips cross the screen. To fix this before and during the game :

Before Game :

From Home Screen hold HOME Key in for 3 seconds so task manager opens.

Press Broom / Paint Brush (Clears All)

Open Angry Birds and play

During game

, if you pause for more then 10-15 sec and Birds Skip :

Pause Game

Click HOME

From Home Screen, Press & Hold HOME for task manager

Press Angry Birds in List (should be only thing open, if not, close other apps by pressing them for 3 sec and select Remove)

Enjoy Flying Birds instead of Skippers

Thanks for the MMS fix!

Angry Birds froze for me almost every time I tried pinch to zoom. If that happens, just keep pinch zooming in and out and it will respond again. A bit annoying but I got through the whole game that way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hey Everyone

Make sure to go to some of Swiperat's posts and thank him as well for this fix. I was working in the right file, but honestly didn't know what the hell was wrong with the files in there. He saved us from having to wait until MIUI fixed it for us (which may have been a while seeing as they have more issues to work on with the new settings menu borking theming). Thanks everyone for being patient while we improve this build.

So, as far as I see now, our issues are down to:

1) 2d running slow in some games (most likely due to Joker having removed some 2d libs from the release we are basing on...unfortunately, it's the most stable of the 0.4 series IMO)

2) fc in XDA app in PM...I'm working on that now

3) Dual antenna indicator on the status bar. I'm working on that now...may have a fix today, but don't hold breath...there's a LOT of code to go through, and I'm having to compare last build with this build and weed out what is "new optimization" vs "inappropriate functionality"

4) Theming doesn't work for Status....I'm still going to look into it, but I have a feeling it's something we will be waiting on MIUI to fix, as they revamped the settings, and I think that's what did it.

5) Video cam buggy (but I must say that with Videocam Illusion it's at least got some functionality)...and if you look around, I don't see any Photon ICS roms with fully working videocam...

I'd say we're doing pretty damn well.

Let me know if I missed anything :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
I noticed battery consumption is very high lately, the android os consumption is as high as 60%, is it normal? Or should I wipe battery stats?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hmm...going to have to look into that one. I've got same here, but right now, my battery is at 10% left after about 16 hours, and I was around maybe 90% when I flashed...

EDIT: BTW You'll see stuff about calibrating battery...that's bunk. Most of the issues that people will see with a new rom and battery life (and why "calibrating" seems SOO GREAT) originates from 2 reasons:

1) People flash the rom with less than 100% battery. When you reboot into your new rom, it views the battery as "full"(even though it is NOT full), and will proceed to use battery same as it always does, leaving some looking at their battery meter dropping like a stone and wondering WTF?!?! There is no calibrating..thats like saying I can calibrate how fast a brick falls when I drop it off the top of my house. You CAN affect how your battery charges and its "life cycle" by fully draining it from time to time and charging it back to FULL (best way to do this is to buy a $10 anker external charger, pull your battery and charge it to full. then put it back in)...this is how you get maximum life from your rechargeable batteries :)

2) The rom is improperly set in the power_profiles.xml inside their framework-res.apk. Since ports are generally based on other phones (ours is based on Nexus), it will have a profile for the battery that comes with THAT phone (say 1500mah or 1800mah), NOT the 1650mah that our phone came with. I have properly set this, so the phone is LOOKING for a 1650 battery. If you use an extended battery, the reason your phone may show strange settings like being at 1% for hours is that it's looking for a MUCH smaller battery. If you would like me to make an "extended battery" version for framework-res.apk, I will do so, but only if we get a few people who respond yes to this.

Hope this helps :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
No, i am not using an extended battery and i think most of the people don't. At first i thought there is something wrong with the battery...Your explanation helps a lot, thanks for your patience man! You and Spleef are doing great things!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bondarun:
Few Crash today..

I used the Cam shutter key to take pic and the Cam app crashed.

Viewed some Pics in the Gallery and the device hangs up. Have to pull out the battery to make it work again..

Had some issue while making calls. The Screen was like zig zag thingi some wat crashed like images etc etc..

Battery life is terrible.. lost 10% in 10min without using anything.. :(

Am moving back to stock now :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1) Not sure about cam...works perfect on mine...you using the fix one? The one in rom is wrong apk

2) Gallery working great on mine...try fix permissions? May need to do that, as Cam and Gallery are kinda interconnected, so may have caused issues...

3) Haven't has screen thing happen in a LOONG time (last time I was on I think test 8). Not sure, but I will keep an eye out

4) Battery-What processes do you have running?

Do you have Bluetooth turned on (that will kill battery FAST unfortunately if left on...best to turn off when not in use).

Did you leave GPS on? If you do, and you have google location services on, your phone will look for where you are all the time (thus eating battery "finding" you).

Do you have an e-mail service running...? If so, do not set it to "push". Push setting will have your phone CONSTANTLY looking for new e-mail...imagine sitting on your laptop on battery power and hitting F5 every couple seconds to refresh a page...yeah...it'll kill your battery. Instead, set it to "poll" every 15 minutes, this way, you will only have e-mail process generating usage every 15 minutes.

What do you have your display settings set to? I set mine to turn off after 30 seconds. Having the screen on for a minute (which is stock setting), especially if you're using a light theme or have it on the "settings" screen will waste battery unnecessarily.

I'm sorry to see you leave our rom...but it IS an Alpha/Beta(not sure which it is...it's pretty damn good, but I know there are some kinks), so it's not going to be quite as polished as factory. You must also consider Moto has a TEAM of highly experienced devs writing everything for the stock rom, getting paid good money to do it...here you have a MUCH smaller team working on it, and doing it for fun, not profit. We're doing the best we can and appreciate your giving us a shot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
We all appreciate your work very much.

I think this rom is stable enough for a daily drive and it will become perfect when Moto release their never-coming 4.0, some libs are needed there.

EXACTLY! Those libs and other source things are going to be KEY in getting this resolved...but it hasn't been released yet. If you look at the CM9 thread, Joker's having some real fun over there trying to play "guess the libs". We picked 0.4.1 to build off, as it seems that those libs are causing some not-so fun side effects for some people, and we preferred to be more stable than bleeding edge, so we went without the libs :) Sorry for the unfortunate gaming issues, but at least we have a much more functional camera than some are reporting on his latest builds...

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You can have e-mail sync. I use Moxier for my Exchange work e-mail (believe me, my phone is 50% work, 50% toy). I set it to poll for e-mail. It works great...just if you leave something like exchange or any other e-mail on push, the process runs all the time, and battery life can suffer badly...especially when you're talking an OCed rom like this.

Maybe try clocking it back (under developer options) to 1000mhz (stock BLUR config), and set your e-mail to poll...you might be surprised how much your battery will save. I personally run 1.3 and get great battery life using just "poll"

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I can't say yes to that. It may, it may not. You may retain most of them, but they DID make some changes to the system-settings, so it may bork some things. I'd Titanium backup your data before you flash to it. Also, be sure to grab the fixes for MMS and Camera, as the Cam from 2.3.23 is wrong apk, and the MMS fix will make it so that stock app can send and receive :)
