[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
happy happy release day...lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hellz yeah boy!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
AWWWW YEAH

DUAL SIGNAL NOTIFICATION UGLYNESS GONE!

if you use this theme

Buuf Updated: http://bytethegroove.com/PublicDL/MIUI V4 Themes/Buuf V3.6 MIUI V4 by ByteTheGrooveV15.mtz

Dual signals now reduced to one buufied icon :)

other various theme fixes

I am working on making this theme fully functional, I will still update the other themes I have ported as time permits, but Buuf theme is my main concern...

The reason behind this is, its easier to port all the other themes once I have a base model with all the working elements, once I have that I have template for porting other themes, and will go much much faster.

I will still release the buuf themed rom until the theme manager is more functional.

also I will be working on cleaning up my website and create a page for my themes, Download links should still be valid, but will just look prettier, and add in google ads (so people can click away)

in the meantime if you feel like. go to http://bytethegroove.com/e107/ (my old gaming clans website and click on the ads near the bottom right) buy me a beer :)

enjoy!

peace

I was having some screen of death issues earlier today while using Pandora. I'm using the latest update. Just a heads up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hey Everyone! Keep an eye out tomorrow. Drop will be released in the morning. Doing final testing of it now just to see what bugs I might need to iron out first :)

CHEERS!

Oh...and the Wifi connections issues are GONE! Finally fixed on this version. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Can't wait!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
cheers！
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
DROP!

Link is up HERE

GPS-Fixed

Wifi disconnect-Fixed

Xperia Launcher added

Beats and Bravia

CHEERS
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
That's awesome! Xperia launcher is my favorite. Can't wait to try this. You guys are the best! Can't believe we have all this development when so few own this phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's because we're MaGiC!

Actually, we just really have a great team. We split up the jobs pretty well, so it makes it easier to get things done. I've taken over the building of MIUI for both Atrix and Photon, as well as help set up the overall framework for Kitchen Sink, as well as help Joker with the scripting on the Sink. Spleef has been building AOKP, CNA, and Gummy(can you say like a MACHINE?!). All together, we make a great team. :)

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

Also, on this one, the launchers are individually selectable, so no more needing to do "All" if you only want 2 of them. You can choose each individually :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Tried to flash the latest update but I'm getting stuck at the Motorola logo. Using custom install, apex launcher, beats audio, bravia tweak and everything else on default.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try without beats. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] thabest85:
Love this rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Still a no go without the beats. I'm going to try another configuration and check back.

Edit: Ok I see what the problem is. I read in the CM9 thread that the 1.3 kernel was borked. So I tried the 1.4 kernel with the beats and bravia tweaks plus Xperia launcher and apex and it booted right up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I had thought that Joker said that kernel was fixed....I guess it needs to be rebuilt. Thanks for the info. I'll get in touch with him. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tetrabyt:
Anyone else having trouble downloading this directly to their photons, from the site ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Try Firefox.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
He's exactly right! I'd thank, but I'm already past my 8 limit... :( I'll hit ya with one tomorrow
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Got him for ya:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
here it is: http://bytethegroove.com/PublicDL/AromaThemeOption.zip

Files needed to add Buuf as default theme.

If there is a way to replace the media folder under system as a install option,

then we can let users choose a defualt theme at install. The above includes the complete media folder to make Buuf the default theme, this includes fonts, lockscreen, wallpapers, and the buuf theme as (default.mtz)

now that most of the theming functionality is back, I will only be working on creating/porting themes. creating a themed rom was very time intensive and at this point really wont offer much more than theme manger.

So get ready for more, better, and faster theming.

also look for a byte theme thread under photon themes, i will be able to better manager my themes there, and take on more requests....I'll still post here, but will keep it much simpler.

peace

awesome bud thats great... will be popping in there often
[Motorola Photon 4G] Timur0409:
Why not start, stop at the unlocked? MIUI.us.sunfire v4 2.5.4 arom
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which options did you choose? This isn't a one way rom...so I need to know what you chose to help you fix it....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Timur0409:
recovery-CWMRecovery5.0.2.7

was installed firmware beta-0.6.0-cm-9.0.0-P0

install v4_2.5.4 aroma choose default setting-> Fuul Wipe-> Install, reboot stops at the screen unlocked
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Pull the battery and flash a second time using the same choices as the first flash. You have to flash twice, it's just how it is. After second flash it will reboot during first boot. Don't Panic!! It's supposed to reboot once.

My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
hmmm....try doing custom and using the 1400 kernel...I think that 1300 is borked. Don't worry about battery...it's insanely good on this rom.

I have a 3500 mAh Hypercell

14.5 hours on battery power with Wifi on and I am still at 84%!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Timur0409:
failed to run, is on the unlocked
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try doing a custom install....I'm not sure why it's doing that on your phone...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Timur0409:
Started on 1400 kernel...! Thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I have to replace the 1300 kernel. Joker fixed it, but I forgot to update it for this build. I will be releasing an update build Monday or Tuesday...it will be on there. For now, please juse use the 1400 kernel everyone :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
After 3 hours, 2 brain aneurisms, and 1 battery I was able to get this to boot using the 1.4 kernel. After a reboot it got stuck at the splash screen again I'm guessing the 1.4 kernel really dislikes my phone

I didnt wipe before using the aroma installer as stated in the OP

I flashed it once then it got stuck at the splash screen. i pulled the battery and flashed again using the same options as before as someone else stated to do. It finally got to the boot logo and then it rebooted itself and got stuck at the splash screen again. I pulled battery and this time it finally booted to the home screen. But upon reboot the process started all over again

And I used the 1.4 kernel not the 1.3
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....guys, I need you to tell me the OPTIONS you picked...not just the kernel. I'm trying to figure out if some extras don't work well with MIUI.

I need the following:

What kernel, libs, prop, keyboard, bravia yes/no, beats yes/no, apps chosen, boot animation, launcher, etc.

I do know that for some reason, if you want to use Xperia, you need to install another launcher with it. It doesn't like trying to work if only MIUI Home is installed. I will have Spleef update the OP on this one.

With roms like this, it's not one setup like a traditional rom, so for fixes, I need a bit more info :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
North American GPS

1.4 kernel

Orgblk keyboard

Flash gapps

Cdma/tweaks

Forced roaming

No alternate lib

Miui weather

No beats

No bravia

No launcher

No flash

No Google gallery

No YouTube

No voice search
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try without the cdma with tweaks...full wipe? Everything else should work...I haven't tested the Org/blk keyboard lately, but last time I had it on the phone, it worked great... If coming from a rom different than MIUI, will need to do full wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
I'll try that and let you know.

Also I did do the full wipe. Forgot to mention that

Also I should mention I've used the cdma /tweaks in a previous build with no problems which is why I chose the same option this time around.

I know that kernels react differently on each phone. Is it possible to maybe add an option for a kernel that isn't overclocked
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
added the xperia bit to op bud
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Also I rebooted my phone today and it got stuck at the Motorola logo a couple times then it finally booted up. I used set cpu to under clock it to 1.2 since 1.4 seems to mess with a lot of peoples phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Good deal :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
I'll try that as well
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
I am looking for a good build. I was hoping that the latest will work with minimal problems. Does it have the extended battery fix as well?

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Running this ROM with Olegs Kernel V4 custom install makes it really laggy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would only run the 1400 Joker kernel..it's built to go with the CM9 that this is based on. The V4 oleg kernel is based on like 0.4 something Cm9....

And yes...it has the ability to run Big Battery Mod...I developed it for this build first :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimms:
Finally.. I give up.. unable to get Aroma version to boot.

Used Wipe all photon, then custom flash with GSM in build prop. MIUI weather, default ril, 1.4 kernel. Else is all default.. flashed second time on it with same options without wipe.. no go. I'll wait... back to deblur till next revision.

Thank you for your work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What additional options were chosen? Beats or Bravia selected?

At what point did it hang? The installer? The Red Moto Logo? The bootanimation?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
you don't wipe before flashing you choose the wipe option in the aroma if your wiping before flashing that is why its not working
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
For some reason, the app AudioManager does work on the latest build.

Posted with SwiftKeyX on my CM9 Motorola Photon!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Audiomanager...is that a market app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Yes it is. I use it hourly. It wont allow me to change the sound settings through it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget&hl=en
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
can you get me a logcat of when you're trying to use it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
I've completely forgot of how to do that. XD

Posted with SwiftKeyX on my CM9 Motorola Photon!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
download alogcat from market click it recreate the issue click it again hit pause then save then zip it and email it to us
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
I think I did it right. XD

What email do I send it to?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimms:
First I chose bravia n beats.. but second time without them.. It hanged on M logo at times, then halfway to boot.

I later downloaded the Non-aroma version. Flashed wipe-all-photon then rom twice.. still hangs on M logo.

Am I not supposed to use wipe zip for non aroma too?

Thanks Team..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just re-read the changelog. I almost think this is something that was changed with 2.5.4 by MIUI. They have been putting a LOT of effort into the lockscreen, notification area, etc. I downloaded the app just to test it out. I see where it doesn't change...like it's locked, but if you use the side volume buttons, you can see the level change in the app....STRANGE is all I can say....sorry :(

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Which kernel did you use? I know that the 1300 seems to be borked. I have used the following

custom

1400 kernel

CDMA plain (not sure if tweaks are fully compatible)

Bravia

Launcher-Xperia and Apex

MIUI keyboard (I'm thinking the orange/black one might not be compatible....anyone using it successfully?)

Big Battery Mod

MIUI animation

standard libs

standard ril

gapps

flash

youtube
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nova launcher works great on it :)

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Goes along with sync changing...if you have Exchange accounts for e-mail put them on polling rather than push. Push will have Exchange running 100% of time...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
I have to report something, The camera isn't working well on test5. when open it, it's laggy. and when you exit camera, you won't be able to open it again otherwise you wipe the camera data and reboot. something must be broken. Anyway, I appreciate your work very much!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I have had no problems so far with this. Granted, I've only been on the rom for all of 30 minutes (on fresh install of test 3, reboot, go back into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, then flash by test 5). I've taken multiple photos and started/exited multiple times, as camera is a MUST for me on any rom (I take tons of pics with my kids). Lagginess was on first time I opened it. It's a little bouncy (but then again, CM9's cam is same way).
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
yeah the camera is a known issue with cm9 it works but isnt 100% i have no problems opening closing repeatedly taking pics or anything with it. like its been stated it is a little buggy but still works and since the base of this is cm9 the bugginess goes hand in hand except for a few mods thrown in by mixing the miui.. i didnt only change in the prop cm9-miui i added over several of the adjustments and tweaks that wasnt in our cm9 get curious open both up and take a look you will be surprised.....lol any how its about that time works is early and even earlier now that day light saving time in effect so will be caling it a night peace love and bbq have a great night folks and enjoy i know i am this puppy been my daily since i started it
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Thanks! The amount of school work I've had has been crazy, especially now that I'm in a Programming for Telecommunications class :P Once summer come I should be free though :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
Thanks, after reboot it becomes better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
I rarely use camera. Today i happen to use it, so I found this. So if you press menu after using camera instead of press back button. you won't have any problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
thanks for the work. i guess something not right about call log. I made several calls but they`re not in call log
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not sure why anyone would complain about battery life on this rom....I'm at 45% after 11 hours with more than 2 hours worth of calls, playing around with settings, etc....BT and Wifi on the whole time. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] guilzom:
Which version are u using and did you apply oleg/peter kernel ?

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

Is an issue with the stock phone app (I think that only afects GSM users). Use an alternative as go contact, dialer one or similars.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I used the "Wipe-All-Photon.zip" then flashed V3, rebooted (didn't set up accounts), immediately rebooted into recovery and used "Wipe-Cache-Dalvik-Photon.zip" and flashed V5 over the top and rebooted. Runs smooth as glass. Both zips are on the CM9 fixes threads...make very easy to wipe....just flash like any other zip

2 observations:

1) Notification sounds are a little quirky...

2) I also have noticed the lack of call logs... (EDIT: Stupid me for not reading...LOL...I'll check out aftermarket app)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
.............
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
nice and quiet in here means things going good [ i hope ]

been trying to find some more miui apps to include in next few builds but cant find any that have working links or arent in chinese...... if anyone runs across some please shoot me a link or two or five.... really wanting to find the apks that allow weather/ temp on lockscreen/ think its genie widget and weather apk by miui found links to the weather but no dl links that work. also wanting to find another contacts/phone apk to fix the missing call log and see if it will fix the horizontal answering prob.

thanks

thinking of porting alpha1 with alpha2 apps into cm9 .3.3 just to see if it fixes some of our problems in test 4 and 5

scratch that not thinking am going to
[Motorola Photon 4G] the12nv:
Victim to your own success... I have not had any issues....I was playing angry birds earlier and periodically it was glitchy....also when in the browser I see when switching to horizontal it FC...nothing major.... love the ROM
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
making a backup right now just finished porting alpha1 into cm9.3.3 just for ****s n giggles maybe it fixes some of the things wrong maybe it wont once im doing backin up will try it out report back and post link

k so i flashed and tons of fc also tried to integrate sound from mount olympus and ended up having no boot animation so am going back to the lab to try again
[Motorola Photon 4G] ski21:
Is there a way to get the lock screen on an unlocked stock rom. I love the lock screen. I like the rom, just waiting for the few things to get fixed. I notice my sms don't automatically download. Everytime I get a sms it asks if I want to download message.
[Motorola Photon 4G] j91hernandez:
Lost data

I flashed clean over to test5 got a couple FCs wiped data fixed perms FCs gone except for android.phone or something

any suggestions?

I'm gonna try to flash test4 boot up then flash test5 to see if it fixes it
[Motorola Photon 4G] guilzom:
In the market, look for the app Milocker Link

You can apply the MIUI themes, just be sure are qHD version (on XDA exist a dedicated thread for it) copying to the MIUI folder... I have benn using for a while and works great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Gotta flash v5 over v3. It's working perfect on mine after that :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
thats weird but i think someone else had a problem with sms as well wondering if anyone else or all is having this issue are you using gsm?cdma?what test are you on?how did you flash the test you are on?which recovery?get me as much info about it ill look into i dont have that issue i can confire the best way to flash 5 is from 3 going to put that in the op i tried 6 terrible just terrible fc's and then 6.1 i got rid of the fc's but no boot animation (trying to work sound in, but instead is making it to have no boot animation) so going to try one more time then going to stop before it gets to me.

format system,data,cache, wipe davick cache

flash test 3 let it boot completely

reboot to recovery again

wipe cache and dalvick cache

flash test 5

reboot let it boot completely

reboot to recovery yet again ( yeah i realize this is alot to just flash a rom but hey it woks)

wipe dalvick cache and fix permissions

reboot and everything should be working except for the known issues
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
So I'm not crazy. XD

Posted with SwiftKeyX on my CM9 Motorola Photon!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No...definitely not crazy....I kept trying, and all it did was scroll to the next screen...LOL

Not sure what is wrong, as there isn't a logcat error being thrown...it's like the app is in read-only mode or something...
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Yeah. You don't drag the sliders like you think you would. You tap where you want the volume. Sounds odd. Also when it first launches you can change the Media volume level.

Also something odd just happened. Listening to music through Bluetooth. Went to unlock my phone, pressed the first digit on my lockscreen, froze up, rebooted to the boot animation, then went to the Logo and froze. Did a battery pull and it booted fine, but my wall paper went back to the nexus one from a downloaded one.

Edit: Another question, This happened on CM9 0.5.1 and since this is the base as well, when I try to move an app to my sdcard it says not enough storage space. I have a 64GB memory card, though when I look the phone states that my External SD card is the internal one... Any help on that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not sure about that random reboot. I haven't had anything like this yet. Anyone else?

This is based on 0.6.0...has been for last 2 builds...

I'm not sure how that would be happening...this is set up the same way as CM9 is for internal/external memory.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
All the apps I use say that my 64GB card is the internal memory.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Anyone else having this happen?

I'm a bit confused by it, as only the Atrix MIUI has an internal storage option to show like that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Latest version running really nice! Great work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
Tried the default cdma without tweaks and default ril, even tried underclocking like someone else mentioned and still a no go for me. I'll try again when the next update is released. Thanks for all of your hard work guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Finishing 2.5.4 build based on 0.6.1;....should be out tonight
[Motorola Photon 4G] armyranger251:
Sweet thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
I know I've seen it mentioned, but I don't remember when or what thread, and I searched and skimmed back the last couple pages and didn't see it - why does 3g die if I use wifi for an extended period of time? I have to reboot to get it back.

Is there a fix? And if not, is there something I can do to help narrow down the problem if it's not already figured out? If you want a logcat, just let me know from when to when cuz I'm not sure how long wifi has to be on to kill the 3g, so the log could get pretty long
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Have you tried doing airplane mode? Toggle it on, wait a few seconds, then toggle it back off. Haven't had that issue on my phone.

Build of 2.5.4 based on 0.6.1 is complete, but alas, I can't get it to upload...LOL. I'll up it in the morning :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
I'll give that a try. And for what it's worth, I had this same issue on the previous build (2.4.whatever), and I clean installed the latest hoping to fix it. Weird.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darodiho:
Just installed and flashed the latest update and gets stuck at the m logo
