Thanks for report.

But it's weird, I tested it with twrp and bootstrap recovery.

Did you do some steps that I should know about, when installing?

I still do not see the beginning of the issue.

This is libaudio.so from latest ota update - http://d-h.st/YVw

I need a little help

i'm using V.16 and this ROM is very stable, but I have one problem

The WiFi keeps turning off sometimes when the phone kept without using after less than one hour, even I tried to disable any WiFi sleep???

can anybody help?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
How about battery saver mode?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Using jokerv3 recovery, wiped data/system/cache/dalvik, flashed rom, flashed kernel, rebooted, no boot.

Wiped everything again, flashed v16, flash stock photon13 kernel, beats, volume wake, sprint vvm. Booted fine.

I should also note that the vvm you provided a link to does not work for me. Nor does the popular method of backing up voicemail and its data with titanium from a rom, then restoring on yours. Still can't get sprint vvm working unfortunately.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I wanted to try Joker's recovery, but there is only v4, which I read has some problems.

edit:

Added modules for Electrify 2.3.5_USC_19 locked users. Link in the first post.

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
First post updated with v18 for unlocked.

I suggest using TWRP for now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Is it true that TWRP has problems restoring CWM backups?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
It uses different file extensions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yairku:
Just downloaded and flashed v16 before you posted v18, and I am very surprised by this ROM. It's just perfect!!!

I've been using jokersax's cm9 till now, but it's vacation time, and I need a not-laggy-1080p and WS pictures.

The speed of the download from devhost is very slow for me, don't know why. It's about 50kbps, and it's driving me crazy.

Thanks for this ROM! It's awesome!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
I'm on twrp2.2 and I had to delete and re nandroid my cwm backups,they wouldn't flash.

But twrp I've found no problems so far.flashed cm9,7blur,and deblur.

thanks peetr for all your hard work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Is it possible to use CMW or Joker's V3 recovery to flash v18 or is use of TWRP required?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Just tried, jokers recovery works well.

Problem is not the recovery.

Problem is, if you are coming from CM roms, they are ext4 formated.

I am not formating with rom installation anymore, so if you are coming from CM, you must format system manually.

You will notice, if it's installed properly or not. If it looks like it was installed in 10 seconds or less, then it's not installed - format system and install again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Perfect, thanks!

Btw, what does "with modules" mean? What is a module?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
/system/lib/*.ko - they must be compiled with the kernel, or they won't work.

Don't understand why, but it's like that, making things more complicated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Other than the touch interface, are there any advantages to using TWRP over Joker's recovery for everyday use?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
There are some features making life easier - switching between sd cards, switching them for mounting in pc, file explorer with ability to delete, copy,move some file, wiping and reboot button right after installation, batch installations and more.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
That sounds great. Can Joker's recovery and TWRP co-exist on the same device?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No, but no problem to have 2 install zips and install from one recovery the other one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I've found Better Youmail to be MUCH better than Sprint's VVM and it has always worked flawlessly for me regardless of the ROM I'm using.

[Motorola Photon 4G] iStayHigh:
Do i need to wipe anything before flashing this rom. Im running stock rom.

Sent from my GSM Mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes, you must wipe data (factory reset),
[Motorola Photon 4G] soomat:
May be this is a noob question :

Can i use this rom for ISW11M (AU KDDI) ..??
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I think you can, but I will have to make modules patch for your kernel. If you do the system dump of your stock rom, I will do it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Fast2learn:
Thank you peetr_

i find out that i'm in some battery safe mode.

by the way it's very good ROM, long battery life (around 3 days with normal use)

but how can I have Swype keyboard?

Now i'm in V16 GSM, and it's so good. what can i find if upgraded to V18, and how can I update without loosing my installed apps and data

thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Hmm, I never used Swype, but it can be most probably installed, if you find it somewhere.

Titanium Backup is the best to keep your data.

Make backup, but try to update without wiping, if something will be broken, wipe data and restore with Titanium Backup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Fast2learn:
Done

No, unfortunately the Swype is not installed, i searched for it.

The Titanium Backup is very good, thanks for this advise.

I flashed V18 over V16 without wiping, till now it's perfect, everything is smooth and nothing has broken.

Thank you for your efforts
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I mean it can be installed from some other source. I know that it's not installed now :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] iStayHigh:
So just wipe data and flash latest version is that all

Sent from my GSM Mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
Another thing you can do is sign up for Swype Beta on their website. You'll be able to download the latest version with an extra feature, rather than the outdated on that came with our Photons.

Best of all, once you sign up, you just gotta sign in and re-download if you lose it from flashing other ROMs.

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
It would have to be made from scratch based on Sprint rom.

I am glad, you like it.

Toggles are not configurable, someone would have to make some configuration app. I will add flashable patch for build.prop, with USC MccMnc sometime later.

Is it possible I can use Jokersax's kernel for this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Perfect !

Thank you for your very appreciate effort and time

Arabic works very fine all things almost perfect till know.

Except :

1-

when i add new number to contacts it give me force close (even in English interface):

( the application contacts storage(process com.motorola.contacts)has stopped unexpectedly.please try again.

2- I got also force close massage when trying to open video recording app

not in English interface but in Arabic interface(weird!!)--(its not big deal but for confirmation)

I think that is because Arabic patch.

3- ##3282# not working .

4- long press on status buttons(WiFi,Bluetooth..etc) dose not open setting menu.

Thank u very much...
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
##3828# will never be working, it's specific sprint app, that is launching.

About the forcecloses, I am afraid, you will have to wipe data. Try in manage apps wipe for contacts and camera first.

Long press - it's still not cm7 notification widget. :-)

Here I can add contact with the arabic language turned on. But my phone is after wipe.

But camcorder is really forceclosing with Arabic, even after wipe. I will delete the camera localization later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tk161900:
OK so I installed this on my Sprint Unlocked Photon and it was for the Electrify. I could only connect to US Cellular and it said I was roaming. So it doesn't work for photon? Or did I mess up somewhere?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Put it on home only. Mobile settings. Works great on photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tk161900:
You mean only use the stock launcher??
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
No I mean go into settings/ wireless networks/ mobile networks/ system select and choose home only. Automatic makes you roam.

HDMI mirroring

Any news about HDMI mirroring? I use my photon with hdmi almost every day, and im looking for a ROM deblur but no problems with hdmi. Give me good news please...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
hello,

ok i do wipe and no wrong with contacts(no force close ) :)

and other things are ok except camcorder as u said.

but How to clear contacts storage?"clear data" option is inactive?

and i note that the battery draining is fast .

My carrier is none sprint CDMA and it works fine.

and #073887* works same as ##3282# so no programming menu problem.

Thanks...
[Motorola Photon 4G] tk161900:
wow that worked great. but when i go to my dialer and put in *#*#4636#*#* is says that my current network is US Cellular. Im guessing this is just a fluke since i still have a Sprint PCS ip address
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Jam97 - the camera forceclosing with Arabic looks like a problem with libraries from the patch. So you have to choose working camcorder, or working arabic in Gmail and Browser

So programming menu works, good.

I'll take a look at HDMI mirroring in landscape.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes, that can be fixed also. In the other 2.3.5 thread it tells how. You have to replace the eri.xml file in framework with one that you can download there. It's just cosmetic, makes it say sprint instead of u s cellular
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Camcorder in not important I use English interface

and could u try to fix these please:

How to clear contacts storage?"clear data" option is inactive?

Battery draining is fast --i think it because extra unnecessary brightness in low light places(auto brightness dose not work well)!!!.

Thanks...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jpborjav:
Thank you very much.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
You have to wipe contacts provider, not contacts itself.

What do you mean by fast draining? I can make 5hours of display every day, with autobrightness. But autobrightness doesn't decrease automatically. Only increase is automatic. If you change light conditions to low, you have to turn of the screen. However, I didn't change autobrightness, it's stock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
O.k. Thanks..

i don't know but i think that the battery live in v5 was better. or may be the new battery indicator issue.

any way How to get contacts provider ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I see what you mean. Contacts Storage cannot be wiped in manage apps. But you can manually delete /data/data/com.motorola.blur.providers.contacts or with Titanium Backup. And restart.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Thanks..
[Motorola Photon 4G] tk161900:
The 3G tweaks from this ROM triple my speeds. It's awesome. But I don't always use this one. Is there a guide to tweak the settings like how they are in this ROM for the stock ROM? Or is it the radio that's different?? Regardless, can anyone give some advice besides removing the sprint proxies and changing the mobile network settings?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Battery issue !

My rom was V6 and i noted that there are something wrong with battery live:(

Battery indicator was 68%.

i restored my old backup rom cm7 and after about 5 minutes rom restored.

and the battery indicator was 80%:eek: instead of 68% !!!

So i think that battery indicator has issue and the previous one is accurate even best.

Or just my device!

Thank you..

It's possible to use any kernel I posted for download. But you can try any kernel you like. The worst thing that could happen is, that it won't boot.

[Motorola Photon 4G] apidroid:
same issue here
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I know this was a problem early on but was fixed in a later version. It looks like the problem is back again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes, it's still the same problem, sometimes it won't reboot, sometimes it reboots. It's not wake_lock problem, but camera problem. Camera is programed to turn off after minute or two, but the torch won't let it shut down. So it starts to fill the memory with errors, until it reboots.

Just tried now - 5 minutes and no reboot. :)

It's hard to debug it correctly, because it won't happen, when you are connected to usb and the screen must be turned off.

After flashing the kddi radio then flashing this ROM it won't let me go any further without making an activation call.. I'm sending this phone to my ex for my daughter. They use straight talk. If I use my friends att sim card to activate this phone will it effect their plan (they have a feature phone and smart phones have an extra charge) and after activating using an att sim can I then use the straight talk sim or will she have to factory reset then reactivate using her sim?

I'm asking because I don't have access to her sim. I'm setting this up for her here with her account then mailing her the phone so all she has to do is throw in her sim and start using the phone. They live over 3000 miles from me and they don't know anything about formating or flashing or anything tech related lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:

It was for testing, it's uncommented in v18. You must be using v17.

Only problem I'm having is when I try to run a Wifi SIP dialer app, the phone will go straight into reboot whenever I try to make a call. On v17. I'm locked 2.3.5 OTA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I don't know SIP calling much.

Did you try some other app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] HemRoyd:
I went into the test menu using the stock dialer (*#*#4636#*#*) and had it reboot on me as well. Are "Call Settings" and "Mobile Networks" in the settings menu supposed to be inactive? Also, activating/deactivating airplane mode is flaky. Now I'm experiencing general random reboots. Must have missed something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Hmm, as I think about it, there is probably wrong libmoto_ril.so for your radio. Try flashing 254_12 libmoto_ril.so - http://d-h.st/BmX

That was it. Thanks so much - great work on this!
[Motorola Photon 4G] warparrot:
Firstly, thanks peetr for this awesome rom, been using it as my daily driver since ~v10, it's been rock solid (worked like a charm with a French SFR sim in June in the French countryside, didn't have to configure anything!).

Had an issue trying to boot after flashing when coming back from Th3Bill's CNA port 3.3.2 (impressive JB rom!)

Got it to successfully boot after flashing v15 and then flashing v18.

Here's what I did:

running TWRP 2.2.2.0:

Wiped data/cache/system

flashed v18 (twice for good measure)

reboot, froze at pre-animation motorola screen (with "Unlocked" in top left corner)

left it for 10 minutes, still frozen

battery pull, reboot, same frozen screen

repeated wipe/flash above, same effect.

wiped again, flashed back (fresh install) CNA to see if that would work, went through just fine.

wiped again, flashed v15, boot successful

wiped again, flashed v18, boot successful

Anyone else have issues coming from a cm9/cm10 rom with v18?
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Thanks for the tip. I tried twice to come from cm10 recently and couldn't get it to boot flashing only v18. After flashing 15 and then 18 it worked. I can't believe I didn't think of trying that!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
yea I play with jb roms on weekends,

but keep v15 with volume wake on Nandroid.

sjamie...

I also found a workaround for pictures opening up on sd card...

I downloaded camera ics and gallery ics.

use root uninstaller delete the native camera/gallery and wallla!

cam/videos all work from app or hardware button,pic/videos go to sd and open up with options to share right on screen.

just saying....
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Looks like I will have to use format /system in the installation zip for unlocked again.

CM10 is ext4 formatted and it brings some problems.

It's a good option with the Camera and Gallery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I am sure JB will pull me back but peetr this rom is excellent! The battery life, speed and stability is great. If I do go back to JB I will definitely keep a backup of this for when I need it. Thank you for your work!

Square Card Reader

I just signed up with Square to process credit card payments. The website says it "does not support modified versions of Android". So, I am curious, has anyone used the Square card reader and app with this ROM? Does it work properly?

This sounds GREAT! Does the "BlurCamera with gallery choice" still need to be flashed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
yes I did flash that but actially I've found that just ics gallery is best

cause ics camera is not as good as the 2.3.5 camera
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I installed the ICS Gallery and then used Titanium Backup to uninstall the default gallery. Now when I click an image thumbnail in the camera app, I get "media gallery not installed". Rebooting did not help. My ultimate goal is to have all thumbnails open with QuickPic by default. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
So my test friend has notified me that she's getting several repeat text. Also the messenger app force closes all the time and some random apps as well. She's using T-Mobile.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
yea the only way for that is to store to internal memory (which I don't like,I like everything going to sd-ext)

Now the ics camera and ics gallery will do that(but like I said the 2.3.5 camera is better does HD)

So my final workaround is 2.3.5 camera...ics gallery...and peetr gallary choice fix...then pic will open to the folder on ics gallery( close enough) lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
So, in order for a pic to open to the folder on ICS Gallery, it still needs to be stored to internal memory? I could live with the ICS Gallery opening pics if I can store them to sd-ext.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I have that repeated message issue as well. Sometimes.

I guess I should update the MMS app. Did this issue happen in CM7 too? In some older versions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I've experienced the repeating text issue on other ROMs too but not as often as I experience it on this ROM. This issue and the gallery issue are the only two issues I have so I am not complaining! :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
I get the double sms too...periodically

oh an ics gallery stores to sd-ext
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Why is it not working for me? I've installed the ics gallery and I've uninstalled the default gallery. What else do I need to do?

Should I download ics camera and just not use it? Like you, I'd like to keep the 2.3.5 camera as my default.
