Hell yeah! I liked it better than "Sprint". LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Check yo PMs, didnt post it cause i didnt wanna start a riot...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
I actually like this alot, considering its very easy to change before you flash (thanks th3bill, for the easy instructions).

why i like it more than sprint, for us noob users im more afraid to change lengths in the eri.xml file (dont want to screw up formatting and mess stuff up)

its easier to go make your own if its less than the original size..

ie when it said sprint i changed mine to byteme as i didnt want to exceed the size.....but now it has kick ass mopho... i can make mine longer like bytethegroove without worry...

dont hate the noob

peace

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
FYI....

TORCH works.

:)

Torch.apk

Use root explorer to push to /system/app

set permissions rw r r

reboot

Cheers!

The new instructions in fixes thread will make it so that you can have it edited before you flash and make sure that you're not borking anything in your framework-res by using an improper .apk file. It took me literally 3 days guys to come up with this. I've been on test 10 since Monday morning, but wasn't going to release until I had a bootable zip without a fix needing to be flashed after.

Thanks everyone for their patience while I go through my growing pains. I'm still learning a LOT of this. This group testing here is just fantastic. Thanks for being a great group of users :)

OK flashed 10 and same thing. Titanium backup will not read anything. My internal SD is not mounted or something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daryl6784:
Did you go to preferences then to back up location and choose where your last backup was?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Titanium just worked on mine. I'm really confused how this isn't working for you. Are you doing a full, clean install, or just doing a wipe of cache and dalvik?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
When I go to backup folder location I get the current backup location/mnt/sdcard/titanium backup can not be accessed. I tried to post a screenshot but I get a no storage warning and no external storage available. That happens when I try to go to my gallery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
Full wipe. Your complete wipe zip.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
Flashed twice just like stated. Somehow my memory is mounted incorrectly or something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ya got me stumped there. Do your other apps see the emmc and sd?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
Yes
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
I got it, just had to mess around with some settings.!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
But I still can not access the gallery
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
Is there a setting on here to use internal storage like in cm
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
I "dirty" flashed over 9b, everything seems to be super smooth.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That might be the issue...you probably were using the "use internal" on cm? MIUI doesn't have anything like that so far that I have seen. You may be able to get it to work if you swap the 2 lines in the vold.fstab.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

I love that banner! I thought about messing around and doing "N0 $ervice", but thought it would alarm people. Anyone who flashed my emmc fix knows I'm a bit of a wise-ass...LOL

Thanks for your solid build
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
Yes I used the internal storage in cm9. Well that sucks if I can't view my gallery. Would going into recovery and messing with the mounts and storage work? I'm pretty new to all this. If not I will go back to my previous from, but really like this one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
Or go buy a SD card
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You can get a 16gb sdcard on amazon for under $12 HERE at Amazon. :) That's what I have. Internal memory is nice, but I like keeping it on something that if my phone borks completely, I can remove it, place it into another phone and party on :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
What would be good is for someone to work on Firerat's MTD partition stuff he did on the Desire...

Remove the internal emmc partition, make it phone storage... also do the same for the Webtop Partition.. Imagine ALL the app space you'd have... :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
A couple of weeks ago, i say that amazon had a 32gb class 10 for like 44. it was on the front page of the app in the "golden box deals" i think

I'm rocking a 32gb I love it over 1600 songs about 20 ROM zipz/mods at least 13 movies thousands of pics and any roughly 200+ apps still 10-11 gigs to go....LOL

I'm still pretty new to much of this, so that's a bit beyond where I want to try...repartitioning the internal storage could cause MAJOR problems if I did it wrong, and I REALLY don't want to take that gamble until I get a bit more dev time under my belt.

So there is no way to toggle memory from external to internal? All pics from the camera are automatically sent to the external SD card?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
There's no toggle. Try this.

Go to /system/etc and rename your vold.fstab to vold.fstab.bak

Copy THIS file to /system/etc and make permissions rw, r r

Reboot

This should swap your emmc and sdcard
[Motorola Photon 4G] sdw79:
OK, thanks. I will try it when I get home
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kernodle:
Looking good, I flashed from CM9 to MIUI test 10 with no hassles.

How do I get this "Kick Ass MoPho" out of the notification pulldown? Not really appropriate on this work phone.

I think I have come up with a fix for the apps that can't install due to the com.google.android.maps shared library not being available.

http://db.tt/Ht6aHA6x

I'm not sure what steps are all actually necessary but here is what I did

Wipe Dalvik/Cache

Flash googlemaps.zip

Reboot

Clear data for market

That let me install apps like Runkeeper and Tasker from the market. The files in the zip are from jokers gapps-v10. I stripped everything except what looked like it may be necessary for that shared library.

I think the reason it doesn't work out of the box is the permissions files are missing but that is pure guess on my part as I have no real knowledge about how the core of Android works.

This is the first time I've done something like this so I promise nothing.

Congrats and thanks on getting official.. do u know why the themes don't theme the dialer or notification bar? That's pretty much the only thing that's bothering me about this rom lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
i think its an issue of compatibility for now the themes are only partially working for the moment they work but like you pointed out some themes dont theme everything like they should.... hopefully as we update these things will get worked out,.... i know what ya mean i like black and blues the white not. kills me everytime i open it i want to scream....lol we will get it worked out probably even quicker now that we have official stuff to play with instead of digging through every compatible miui rom to find the one thing that works on it for ours

thanks for looking into the app issue will look further into what you uncovered thanks for your testing and digging and the congrats but really the grats goes to everyone here in the photon community the folks here just cant be beat

Right now, we're preparing for tomorrow's release from MIUI 2.3.23. We're going to work hard to get that ported, fixed, and released.

Working to set up the page on MIUI.US.

This is my first project, I believe spleef's second. We're both excited to get official support. First ICS rom for Photon that is an officially supported build. :)

Best thing is to continue to use it...test it, report back bugs to us so we can work on them. I would really love to know if GSM is working on this build. I do not have GSM..I'm CDMA. If someone can give feedback, it'd be much appreciated.

That, and look around the forums and see if any of there are any cool mods we can add to this build. spleef has a thread HERE just for that...post them in there.

Thanks for all of your help in getting us the bugs needing to be fixed.

I could try diggin up some old threads on it when he first started implementing it on the Desire (they were on Cyanogen Forums for the Desire under Ennon's guide originally). But it probably is a completely different beast on the Photon/Electrify.

[Motorola Photon 4G] photon_man:
2 questions, now that its on miui, is it simpler to flash or the same, and could someone work on a list of themes that are working and themes that aren't because i left this rom after downloading a theme and i got stuck at lockscreen so to start off the list, black ice isn't working on the photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
thank you feel free to list any that don't work have you tried the latest build? easy to flash Just, flash twice

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I was going to say, there isn't a conceivable reason why a rom that uses a backbone kernel, etc from cm9 wouldn't be able to get 4g if its available. There is a setting in the framework-res.apk, folder values, bools.xml that actually has a small line for wimaxenabled, which is set to "false" from the MIUI drop. Might be as simple as changing that to "true"...LOL Lease I know damn well I'll be putting it as "true" if we get cm9 with 4g just to see if it works. Hell, I'll leave main part of porting to spleef and spend my time debugging that if I have to once cm9 gets it...LOL

[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
actually is quite a bit.... you get tons of customizationss you dont get with cm9 right now, settings are different you get 3 pulldown bars .. toggles, notifications, and app drawer, built in themes, really is alot different we even have apex, trebuchet built in so for those that used before wont miss them coming here... is at least worth a flash who knows you might like it
[Motorola Photon 4G] partycove:
I think i will give it a try . Right now I'm on jokers cm9 0.4.2.1 and I have apex.
[Motorola Photon 4G] the12nv:
Some of the things that I really enjoy about the MIUI ROM's is the lack of a app drawer. I know that others would disagree, but I really do like the MIUI home launcher. I really like the variety of themes and how well put together they are. Not to mention the ability to grab bits and pieces from different themes to create your very own look or stule. The quick toggles screen is awesome and the ability to create quick reference toggles is awesome. I could go on and on....and on about why I like MIUI. I have been a HUGE fan since the EVO days and now that it is working very well with the Photon, I am a happy MoPho!!
