If you are having an issue booting the new release 2.5.4. Getting stuck on the unlocked screen. you have two options to pass that.

OPT1:

-- Pull the battery and restart in recovery and redo the install with the 1.4 kernel

OPT2:

-- IF you already have kernel 1.3 from Jokersax web

-- Restart into recovery and flash that on top of your install

I tried both methods and they worked for me, hopefully one of those will work.

P.S: I installed all the extra expect on CDMA and with no bravia engine.

Good luck

Try to either use the 1.4 kernel option or flash jokersax 1.3 kernel after your install
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
ive never had this issue ever on this rom ive had wifi dance on and off before but never wifi killing 3g...not sure if i understand what yuo are saying... if you are on wifi 3g is supposed to disconnect ..your using wifi now not cellular service... but if you stop wifi and 3g never comes back on then yeah thats a issue and will have to be looked into ... are you flashing using the sink? or the aroma miui? or the standard miui? what choices did you make if it is sink or aroma? which recovery did you use? how did you wipe? did you upgrade or fresh install?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Ok, so here's the deal. I thought it was extended wifi use killing 3g (as in, not coming back on once I turn wifi off - I know it's supposed to turn off while wifi is on). It seemed like every time I used wifi while at home for a while that 3g wouldn't work when I left the house. I had to reboot the phone in order to get 3g back.

So today I made sure wifi never turned on. 3g died again on me this afternoon anyway, so I know it's not the wifi after all. I checked to see if the apns disappeared or something. Nope, all there. So I try toggling airplane mode. No good - I still have to reboot to get my 3g back.

I use Jokers Recovery. I initially installed 2.4.27 via Kitchen Sink - don't recall what my options were other than full wipe. Then, when you guys updated MIUI to 2.5.4, I downloaded the update to install via aroma. I selected:

non-wipe

custom install

1.4 kernel

North America GPS

Nova launcher, Galaxy Nexus boot animation, Gapps, stock keyboard, standard battery, no Bravia, no Beats

no alternate 2d libs

no Adobe, no File Manager, no Genie, no Gallery, yes MIUI Weather, no YouTube, yes Voice Search, no Titanium

I had the problem on 2.4.27 after the full wipe. After updating to 2.5.4 with no wipe, I still have the problem. I can try clean installing 2.5.4 if you think that will help.

On a side note, I've also had a few random freezes requiring battery pulls. The screen is dark but won't wake up; however, if I have music going it keeps playing, and the LED goes off and on when plugged in and unplugged, so I know it's not shutting off. They seem to have something to do with being plugged in, unplugged, or the BT connection in my car. Never the wall charger - always the car charger. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I haven't been paying attention to the exact circumstances, it's not every time, and I can't seem to force whatever is screwing up.

Edit: I may have a bad install of 2.5.4 since those freezes didn't happen before, but it doesn't explain the 3g crap since that was on a previous fresh install that had no other problems.

Edit again because I have ADD: I posted earlier that I clean installed the update (2.5.4) and in this post I said I updated without wiping. Now I don't remember. Crap. I'm *guessing* I clean installed it, since when I went through the aroma installer just now to get all the options I selected the first time, after I hit install it wouldn't boot. Feel free to slap me; it's ok lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
nah... actually you provided quite a bit of info..... have you tried the standard version with a full wipe? the 3g stuff I'm not sure... check your build prop for a # sign in front of ro.telephony.default.network.... also are you gsm or cdma? if gsm there should he a 0 after the line I just mentioned if cdma should be a 7.... if there is a # delete it save then reboot if your supposed to have a 7 but have a 0 change save reboot do the same if its reversed.... if none of that works idk... you might want to hold out for the update
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:

[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Is the non-aroma version of 2.5.4 based on 0.6.0 or 0.6.1?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
0.6.0. Will update its cm9 base Friday with new miui version
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
fyi beats audio worked pefect for me, but no biggie, ill just flash them seperately like i have been

if i flash this over the previous 2.5.4 version since I used beats there,it would still be there or would i have to reflash beats seperately....just wondering...

..out of curiousity, is the multi-touch mod added in the rom? if not how come?

woot buuf added in sweet man, gonna have to finalize the other themes i made to make those options as well..

peace

byte
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I actually managed to trim it down so that any "common" files were just kept in the system's /media folder, thus making it only need the buuf versions to be flashed and overwrite the existing stock ones :)

Beats would be removed. I will re-place it in there, as apparently it wasn't the issue....LOL It'll go back in on this week's MIUI update :)

THe multi-touch mod is in there :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] darodiho:
Tried installing update via aroma. Unsuccessful. Booted up then seconds later rebooted itself twice and the third time stuck on unlocked screen. Used 1.3 kernel, buuf theme, America GPS, miui keyboard, cdma, forced roam, gapps, no beats, no bravia
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Standard one, you will need to go into your build.prop and changed the ro.telephony line from a 7 to a 0.

If you use the aroma version, there is an option for GSM in it :)

I'm currently on 2.5.11. I'm testing it out until I get home this evening, and then I will release it so long as everything seems to still be working well. I have added back in Razr launcher, 3 new boot animations (removed Gummy, as it was the same as Nexus apparently), and added in Big Black Blue Keyboard. :)

One thing I have noticed, any apps that have to deal with Audio in anyway do not want to play nice with MIUI at all. I am trying to get a app to read messages to me, but it wont on MIUI.

Any news from video record or playback? Are they still problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
We do not have any Moto proprietary ICS drivers, so NO ICS roms on the Photon have fully working video recording.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daryl6784:
So far the latest update is running smooth on the 1.3 kernel but on 1.4 I had a couple of reboots. Another thing is that the browser randomly force closes sometimes even though I have rotation turned off. But other l than that great rom!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
hmmm....I've been on 1.4 since last night without issue. What other options do you have installed? I'm just trying to figure out what might not be playing nice with that kernel so that I can make sure to notate that on release notes :)

Is the browser FC-ing when you turn/tilt the phone or just when using it? I have started using Firefox, and haven't noticed any issues with it.

I'm relying a lot on you guys to test out stuff, as right now, I'm in the process of building the next base for Kitchen Sink, so my time is limited for testing functions. I do have my phone on this build with 1.4 kernel without issue, though.. MIUI will no longer be a part of it (since it's got SO many differences, it was really creating havoc with our setup of that rom).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Fix is UP

SU-Fixes the recurrent requests for superuser access by the system. This will make it so that the system will remember apps that have been given superuser access. Personally tested by me to work :)

On Jokersax.com under Mods section of Th3Bill :)

I will re-up the rom tonight with the fix in it.

Cheers!
[Motorola Photon 4G] davestone:
Thanks for all your hard work on Photon Development.

Thanks to your team this phone is one of the first to be updated weekly with MIUI Release.

Th3Bill's Changelog

Launchers Now individually selectable (as well as Alt-Drawer)

Option for USB Mount to do SD or BOTH Storages (BIG THANKS to kingme for this mod)

Option for EMMC or SD as Primary Storage

Option for MIUI or CM9 Media-profile (not sure what it does...test it out and let me know...but they are VERY different from a file standpoint)

Option to install Wallpapers (default is none)

Removed Prop Tweaks (I honestly think they caused more issues than good)

ONLY down....CM9 camera now does NOT seem to be compatible with MIUI, so until I can figure out how to mod the MIUI cam, it's stuck at 5MP. Using 3rd party cam allows full 8MP res.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I was surprised by all the slickness they added into the latest build. It's liquid quick from my experience. :)

As far as Netflix or any video...that's a lib issue, and we're still waiting to get the right ICS libs so we can do this 100% right :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
I installed it also, the correct way according to the video but cant get my phone to connect to wifi, I click on turn wifi on it says turning on wifi but it never does. My laptop and ps3 are on wifi so the connection or router aren't the problem any ideas?

[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Hey The3Bill, just wanted to say awesome work man. I've had no problems. Been way to busy to stop by much so just wanted to stop by and tell u the luck I've been having. Everything works as it should, clearly my daily driver and I have no issues what so ever. Reliable, reasonable battery life, swift and smooth. Loving it. Any ideas on if or when the messaging app will have split SMS for <160 characters? Its the only thing preventing me from leaving the Google voice app (send more long txt then pictures) but I hate voices UI. Other than that keep up all the great work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah....reflash a new download. Sorry. If u go on jokersax.com there is a nice custom one
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm gonna have to check that out. I've noticed same thing. Glad u like it. Its easily my favorite. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
ur a genius lo,l thanx man
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Awesome something else I've noticed was my power widgets in the slide down don't always work and I just realized by going into settings that I can't select auto brightness/ my GPS won't turn off/ audio settings for notification and ringtones changes very slightly between full to one click from off (example: one click from off is still extremely loud) something I haven't noticed since I've been on the go till just now. Curious to see my GPS setting off. Battery life will be even better. The setting just doesn't stick. It will unhighlit signaling off but back out and go back in and it's on again. Sam goes for vibrate in normal setting
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Battery Life seems very good so far. Although it was a lite day. Tomorrow will tell better. Very fast too
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I had noticed a performance improvement in this build as well. It's been a nice surprise. They did a TON of work on this release. I was amazed at the changelog. I actually expected a rash of issues, but so far, everything seems to be smooth sailing :)

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

I'd reflash it if it's doing that. Might have just set up improperly on the initial boot...not sure... I have no issues with the toggles not working :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
YMMV, but I noticed over the weekend that the build.prop tile-rendering flag, debug.enabletr=true, while not working for me in stock 0.6.1, works just fine for me in MIUI

Actually spent most of the last week testing build.prop flags, and another one I should point out is debug.composition.type=mdp. In Antutu, I got roughly 6k-6.2k with any of the other switches (cpu, gpu, dyn are the ones I know of), but with mdp I got close to 6.7k.

I lost wifi after updating from 2.5.4 (2.5.11 also caused issues). Is there a fix for that?

Also, any way to keep the lockscreen the same?

Which version did you download?

If standard and downloaded before yesterday afternoon, redownload and install again...I forgot kernel modules on first upload.

Not sure what u mean about lock screen...
[Motorola Photon 4G] chairman_meow:
I downloaded the aroma version. I'll give the standard version a shot, though.

I don't know what happened with the lockscreen either. I'd take a screenshot but I already reverted to my nandroid backup. It changed to a different theme; probably not a big deal. Thanks for your help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Aroma version shouldn't have any wifi issues. If u do just try 1.4 kernel...that's what I use

How do I edit the lock screen?

sent from my mof*ck!n mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Need to copy it to your computer, extract it, then edit the manifest.xml.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Wow that sounds really advanced have no idea how to do that thanks for the reply though

sent from my mof*ck!n mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's not too hard, really. If you have windows, you use 7zip to extract the bootanimation file that is in /system/media/theme/default. Then open the manifest.xml and look for the lines that are labeled sms (there are 2 sets of them). You can either remove them entirely or change the "format" to be blank, which will make it so that nothing will show up for the notification. Then you re-zip it, remove the .zip from the end of the name and replace it into your phone. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Thanks, I'll try it when I get home, after I do all that do I have to flash the ROM again? How do I get it back on my phone for the changes to take affect

sent from my mof*ck!n mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
All you need to do is plug phone into computer, copy file back, then go into Root Explorer and copy it into the /media/theme/default folder and set permissions rw, r, r with owner and group of root, then reboot
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Is there a flashable 1.4 kernel around? I prefer using the standard package over the aroma version (last time I used aroma it installed the buuf theme I didn't want, and didn't install the beats and gapps I did want)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
As long as you do the pre-procedure (advanced, report error, show log, reboot recovery), you should have no issues with Aroma. I just did another install last night, as I wanted to add additional stuff. Installed exactly what I wanted. Just can't skip the pre-steps...

I don't have any of the kernel flash zips around....maybe check on Jokersax.com...just be careful, it's only compatible with the ones from 0.6.0 or 0.6.1.

Personally, I'd go with Aroma installer....
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
i downloaded 7zip went to /system/media/theme/default did not see boot animation, saw lock screen so I went in extracted manifest.xml and got this I highlighted all the sms words, don't know if i'm in the right place or what lines to delete
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm going to try to edit it for you. Keep in mind that the lockscreen might not work right, so before flashing what I upload in a little bit, be sure to nandroid...

nosmslock.zip Should just flash.

Keep in mind, I am not sure if the lock screen is intended to work without the sms, so it may not function.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
IT WORKED! incredible thanks again

[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
Can anyone tell me the steps that they used to get this to work. I tried the standard version of the most recent update and still get frequent reboots or when I reboot it just stops at the moto logo and I have to keep pulling the battery to get it to fully boot
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which version (aroma/non) did you use? If in Aroma, which options did you choose? Might be one of the options you picked if in aroma. I do know that the 1.4 kernel tends to be more stable than the 1.3

I've been on this build since I ported if Friday afternoon and have yet to have a reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
I used the non aroma version

I was on cm9 before trying miui so I used your wipe all zip then flashed the miui.zip and then flashed a second time just to make sure and then flashed the miui gapps and rebooted
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try the Aroma one. I know it's a big file, but it's got some really cool options, and I haven't had any problems with that version. I'll have to give it another look over (the non-aroma version). I have a feeling it might be the kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
OK I'll give it a shot
