I really want to start learning more about well basically what you guys do but not on that big of a level. I am new to all of this but I know with enough reading and trying things I can become a helpful source. I installed Eclipse the other week but have not had much time to really get in depth with it. It is all foriegn language to me at the moment.

Don't necessarily need Eclipse unless you're looking to do some SERIOUS debugging (it's a great tool for that) or making your own apps. PM me sometime and I'll give you some pointers

Best Windows based ones: 7-zip for archive, Notepad++ for text files, Editra for xmls, Apktool for .jar files, AndroidSuite for framework-res.apks

Best Linux based ones: file-roller for archive, Gedit for text files, Xml-Copy-Editor for xmls, Apktool for .jar files...I do framework-res in windows only. dsixda kitchen for boot.img work

Do linux mint. it's got a Ubuntu base, but with some tweaks to it and other optimizations. I LOVE IT. You don't have to totally change. You can actually shrink your windows partition and create a small separate one for the Linux distribution you use. I've got TONS of programs installed on my linux distro, and it's only taking up 8GB of space (granted, you want to give it some extra space for personal files, etc), but you don't need a huge area for it. 25-30GB can do ya.

k just put the reboot options and the mms fix into the turl builds about to pull inks in op while the correct ones are uploading and being inserted can flash this on top of already running turl just wipey you caches flash an go....please report back if the fixes are there...thanks....

35 min op will have turlmiui with the reboot and mms fix added as well as a gsm version with the same fixes added.......the turl build is not an update just an alternate build instead of being jokercm9 as a base it has turlcm9 as a base....just really not wanting folks to get confused....thanks

Flashed the turl miui a few hours ago. So far so good. Seems fast smooth. No problems other than the ones I had with the other build. I will charge soon and see how battery is tomorrow. Loving this mopho more every day thanks to all the devs working on this.

[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
Finding moments of extreme lag... to the point where I have to remove the battery to reboot. Then after reboot it is fine for a while. Usually happens when switching between launchers.

Camera works

Camcorder is lagged to death, just like all the CM9 roms

Not sure why 3G AND 1x AND wifi are always showing at the same time, but it seems to work regardless.

Other than that, it is quite good.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
To disable file download warning, go to the multi icon folder on main screen and pick downloads. Press menu button and select settings. You can set the limit to 10mb (highest setting), and it won't warn you until you exceed that...which isn't often for most users.

Game issues are due to the base we built on not having 2d libs....they seemed to Bork other things. I'm going to look into bt thing...may be kernel issue.

Glad u like the rom. We're working hard at it :)

Not sure why...I may have to check other areas to change that setting...may be something in the parts from Turl CM9 causing issue...not totally sure, as I've been working primarily on Joker MIUI. Sorry that's not much help :(

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

3G1X is a strange bug that is MIUI caused. It seems to be almost universal with the EVDO/CDMA phones (Sprint). If you look back a few pages, XCell posted some screenshots from the Evo build.

Most lag is going to be from lack of 2d libs. We went with what seemed like the most stable Joker CM9 for a base (0.4.1). We tried 0.4.2, but there were other bugs we felt weren't what we were looking for.

Camcorder is due to not having proper libs and set up for it, as currently there are no Photon ICS libs. Joker and a bunch of us are working on trying to find a way to get the Xoom libs to work (due to using similar stagefright structure for cameras), but it's a lot of guesswork, as the programs to edit some of the files cost over $500 bucks for a SINGLE USER basic license. It will get better with time :)

Camera still saves to SD. I'm going to have to look further into this.

Might be tonight before a fix...my only day off work today, and I have my kiddies :) I would love to see if I can port the "switch" from CM9 to our build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
Yeah i know the camera does. I was testing it with zedge and everything was saving to sd card. I was looking around miui us for something on this and ran across this rom for the atrix. It says that the default in it is emmc.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll have to check again. I am pretty sure they're in all 3 spots. Both show up to the system, apps, and the file managers, but camera only chooses sdcard, and won't go to emmc (granted there's no settings option for that).
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Are you using the cm9 structure? Also turls doesn't have the switcher at all
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
For the most part, it's your cm9 version 0.4.1 with modified MIUI framework, media, and apps from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Did some modification in the framework to get the reboot options(I think I got them from 0.4.1 framework) better battery life, and MMS working, custom service banner, etc...

I used your rom as a base, as it was good and stable in 0.4.1 (the version I came to the MIUI project here)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
its probably the framework. In my boardconfig I list both cards. That's most likely the issue. The card is there but the system isn't considering it an sdcard
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm actually in the process of decompiling both my and your frameworks :)

How did you learn so fast? I'm actually going to school for programming (haven't started programming classes yet though), and I really want to learn how to get into this so I can help. All I have done is a little home java programming with eclipse lol. Very basic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Read and learn. Its pretty simple stuff really. As long as you understand the concepts and think logically you will do fine. If you understand how programming is done you can help.

Example

Lib

A=14

B=12

If phone equals a type then c =32

Else 45

Framework/system file

A/b+c=d

E = 4.0

If d < 40 say "your mom loves the mailman"

Else say "tmi"

APK/system file

E = android version

Display system answer = d

Random crap

Etc you get the point
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
A LOT of what I do is using the right tools and having some good old fashioned resourcefulness. I've spent HOURS reading. Joker's right...reading is the key. You can find great how-to's on the net. I plan to put some together when I get a chance. There are examples of files on frandroid.com (which actually have explanations of what different parts of the files do what). Sometimes, it just comes down to taking apart what another guy's done and SEEING what he did. I started out writing the 2 wipe CWM zips to get my feet wet. Best things to remember:

1) READ

2) READ

3) READ SOME MORE

4) ASK QUESTIONS! A LOT OF US ON HERE ARE WILLING TO HELP. Joker's a great person to ask, but be patient. He may not get back to you immediately, and may not give you the "easy" answer...he's willing to help, but hand-holding doesn't seem to be his style. :)

5) Be logical...don't change values to something ridiculous or change something you're not really sure what it's going to do. Writing random **** is sure-fire way to not-so-happy-phone-dom

6) Have the right tools for the job. If you really need to know which ones, go back about 10 pages on this thread...I name a number of ones for both Linux and Windows.

7) Grab a set and dig in!

If you really need help, feel free to ask me. I'm no where near as good as Joker, but I can certainly get you started :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Ok this seems to make sense, I did a very tiny bit of if else statements. So for the most part its just logical thinking. Thanks for the reply. I'll get started on reading as soon as I get out of school. Should probably be doing my work right now.

Been running for a day so far and the only thing that I've noticed is that sometimes when swiping from notifications to toggles the animation gets glitchy (spastastic).

Also Google maps sometimes takes a long time to cache the map, sometimes never even when in navigation mode which is a bummer when you're driving.

Also the battery fix seems to do a decent job of minimizing the battery drain. I don't mean to compare but its not quite jokers cm9. Its much better than the previous build, however. Props!

Comparing MIUI to CM9 is like comparing Apples to Oranges. Both are ICS, but are aimed in different ways.

Comparing myself to Joker is like comparing a 2 bedroom single-family house to Bill Gates' mansion. He has both more skill and more experience than I.
