I would assume it would roam just fine when the Sprint signal drops out and a Verizon one is available. I was asking about the option to force the phone to roam while still having a Sprint signal. When needing to use my phone in spotty service, I hate having data interupted due to the phone switching constantly between Sprint and Verizon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
This is normal, there is one minute scanning interval in build.prop, so sometimes there's a possibility, that you have to wait almost whole minute for reconnecting. If you enter wifi settings, it's scanning and connecting immediately.

v15

Is v15 a flashover or does it need a clean install?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
First off, I'd like to thank you for your excellent work on this rom peetr..

I just upgraded from v14 to v 15 (fresh install + titanium recovery of all user apps) and i noticed that the dock feature is missing. Now deploying the kick stand doesnt give me the prompt for alternative home screens and doesnt keep the screen awake either.

Is everyone else facing this or is it just me?

Edit : i'm using the Overclocked 198_7(6?) kernel - from Jokersax if that makes a difference..
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
V15 should be flash over.

My kickstand prompts me for docking options, but I didn't try after wiping, so I will try tomorrow.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
Thanks, would really appreciate that...

Edit: ok, this is really weird, I flashed back v14 just to make sure and now the kickstand isnt working in it either.. Is it possible to somehow break the sensor of the active kickstand..?? I havent dropped it or anything recently though..
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
This will be a hardware problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
You may want to make a nandroid backup then flash back to stock to test your hardware.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
peetr v15 + holo+launcher = one happy MoPho user :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Thanks, I feel it the same way even with Nemus Launcher. How is everything working on CDMA? How about data meter? Tasks usage counts overall data, over wifi too. But that cannot be repaired I think.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
I'm on sprint and data is working fine, the new meter calculates cell network data,and as your aware Wifi data it stops.

However I'm unlimited, so don't watch much.I think I've been using between 8-10 GB of data a month on sprint(I tether often too)

There's been no need to play with apn settings. mms send/receives just fine.

Traveling hasn't been a problem, I keep it on affiliated networks,so it takes a sec, but still roams fine here in the US.

I did notice the radio being given super user access(whats that about?)

also see VZW location services for gps

that's new! atrix users on Verizon should be happy
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Thanks for info, that's nice.

That superuser access is granted for Toggle2g app, it's sharing the same id as Phone app and wants superuser access for toggling between radio modes. If you don't use it, you can uninstall it with Titanium backup for example.

Actually, Photon and Electrify roms are full of VZW stuff, that is deactivated. I also found something for ATT. :-)

One thing that I am still not sure about, if that ModemCutback.apk is really needed. I didn't found anything missing on GSM and you are not missing anything on Sprint CDMA...?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
Yea as far as my use on sprints network,everything is fine .

The modem cutback apk(educate me on its purpuse) and i might be able too give you some feedback? i dont use any sprint bloat :) so i might not be the one to ask.

I have been unzipping and looking at content of xda Rom zips though!

(trying to educate myself )

But as far as cellular network,wifi router, vpn settings,and roaming abroad- everything is fine on your ROM:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
ModemCutback.apk -

Even I am not sure what it is supposed to do exactly. :-) I think, it should be adjusting power usage of radio modem and wifi, but I didn't noticed any difference, with or without that. Just another useless persistent service in the background, that's what I think. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
lol....

well I'm excited here are some screenies of your latest ....
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Nice. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Is it possible to rearrange the order of the scrollable powerwidget like in CM7?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes it is, but only by decompiling and rewriting the order in Powerwidget.smali.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Ok, is that something you could walk me through?

Since Oleg's CM7 kernel works with the KANG CM7 ROM, it should work with this one too, right?

If so, does it work better/worse than Oleg's blur kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I think it's the same kernel, but ramdisk is different. Because of that, there must be two versions.

What order would you like? :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
If possible, I would love to see this order:

wifi

bluetooth

gps

flashlight

sound/vibrate

mobile 2g/3g data

orientation

brightness

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. I will do it for you. Except that sound/vibrate, there was problem with that one, so it's out of game. There is no 2g/3g toggle, it was not possible, because of Phone.apk intents, but you probably mean sync button.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
new SBF

Hi Peetr, great work , thanks for every think , I’m on this rom almost a month, and I love it, but now I have a 4G in my city and I found a new http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752427 test2 and it works but not good, can you look at it and see if you can use some of it to your rom update or probably G4 working in unlock rom, thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I am glad, you like it.

I am afraid, that I will not do the whole rom again, from scratch. It could be done for locked with 4g working. But it's many months of work and because of no 4g here the result would be the same for me. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
First post updated - v16

And reordered notification buttons for sjamie
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Dude, you are awesome. Thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
you are the man , thanks:highfive:
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
Check out 'WidgetSoid'.

A very simple yet powerful app for custom toggles and switches.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, I'm very familiar with WidgetSoid. The problem is I don't like having to tap a toggle and then tap it again in the "popup". I want to tap it once and be done with it like I can with this ROM and others.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
Not sure what you mean by 'popup'.

I use WidgetSoid for Silent, Vibrate, Batt Temperature, CPU Freq, RAM, Wifi, BT, GPS, Mobile Data, Wifi Tethering, Sync.

Of course the CPU, RAM etc are not Toggles but simply provide information. The others simply switch states of operation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
full wipe?

or wipe dalvic and cache/flash over?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
If you activate a toggle from a widgetsoid widget placed on a home screen, you will not get the annoying popup and everything works properly. However, the popup will appear if you activate widgetsoid from the notification bar.

Towards the bottom of this page, you will see these words:

Q: Why does my notification widget open a popup and not work directly ?

A: It's an Android limitation and not an Widgetsoid limitation, Android don't allow toggle on notification so the only way is the popup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
yea I think sjamie means, even when you configure widgetsoid to the notification dropdown,

-once you press toggle it takes you to the home screen to press again in popup widget fashion.

that's like three presses to toggle.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No need to wipe anything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
Ah, I see what you mean now.

I don't like to use the notification bar for toggles, so never encountered this particular problem. But I see how it can be annoying if it requires three key presses.

I use Go Launcher to set my grid size to 7x5; that way I have more on-screen space to put toggle widgets right on hand.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, exactly! Notification toggles should only require a single tap to activate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
hey sjamie ..

how did that reorganized notification zip from peetr turn out?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Simply PERFECT! Thanks again, Peetr!

Peetr, do you think you could activate the charging LED with this ROM like in CM7? That would be very helpful. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I would like the charging led too. But I cannot find it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wizky911:
Just to be 100% sure...I can flash v16 on a sprint mopho with a locked bootloader and have a fully stable ROM correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Not in this zip state. It's written there. It is not optimised for bootstrap.
[Motorola Photon 4G] harismahesh:
Can someone create a black color transparent bar. The blue color doesnt seems to look gud.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Look in the themes section. There is one there

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
I'm using light flow(the free version) to activate the charging led. It even allows you to set the threshold you want for when the charged led comes on. I have mine set for charging below 95% be magenta and above to be blue. You can set it at specific intervals to flash or to be constantly on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
When I used Lightflow last year, I believe it was the cause of some of my random reboots. I may give it another try now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I would like to have it without an app. Maybe I will try to search more. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
I haven't had any reboots with it. This is one of a few roms it actually works properly on for me.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

The good thing about the app is you can choose which colors you want for each thing. Unlike CM for example where you have amber for charging below 90% and green for above 90 and no options to change it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Did you know, that Nemus Launcher is really easy themeable. I just realised it. :-)

Just go to launcher options - themes - hit menu - theme help and on this page is an example theme and how to use it.

Easy. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
No there is no error, it just sits there sending in an infinite loop...

It doesnt even communicate out via the 3G.. SMS in and out are fine however..

Will try the Converstations.apk and get back to you a bit later... (Lunch time, time for NOMS)

EDIT:: Could you post the APK, as the one I have isnt DeOdexed
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:

arabic and ...

Mr.peetr_

Hello,

I have tried ROM v5 and I found that the Arabic support is not good as should be(like in cm7)..

The font is not good I prefer to use CM7 font it’s the perfect font.

There is no Arabic support for stock keyboard .

The cdma programming menu number does not working (e.g. ##3282#).

And with Theme Chooser the rom will be perfect:rolleyes:.

Please see attachments for cm7 rom.

Thanks a lot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
some problems :

first thank u very much for this rom , best rom for the photon !

1. home laucher dosnt suppurt rtl !

2. after flashing toggle zip home button dont work !

3.stock keyboard dont suppurt arabic/hebrew lang !

didnt find more problems .\ thank u for this rom !
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I am glad, you like it.

I am afraid, there will always be some problem with Arabic, because I cannot try it. Once I select arabic and get out of language menu, I am lost and the phone becomes unusable for me. :-)

About keyboard, I know it doesn't support arabic. I could change it for the cm7 one, because I am using SwiftkeyX. If noone has the problem with cm7 keyboard, I will include it.

I can try cm7 fonts again, but I think, it was disconnected with them. These are from rtl patch thread.

Launcher can be easily translated in it's menu. Do it, send to the developer, and they will include your translation.

About the home button not working after toggles flashing, anyone else having this problem?

What should the programming menu do? :-)

Theme chooser wolud be a very hard job. :-)

Edit: I tried a few fonts and all of them are disconnected, except those included now.

Edit2: Hm, weird, but if you delete system/fonts/DroidSansArabic.ttf it looks better (more readable).
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryan8r:
Good job! Works swift with long lasting backup expected rom a stock rom. Maybe provide an ICS theme , would be great! :)

Sent not from your device!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
[/COLOR]
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Thanks, I like to read this. :-)

I am not going to theme the rom. But anyone who wants can make some theme.

jam97:

About the programming menu. Works on stock 2.3.4 or stock 2.3.5 too?

Trying that arabic patch now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Flashed v5 i really like this alot! Very fast and smooth. I am on sprint. Using go sms. Sweet rom!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Thank you for your very appreciate efforts.

My stock Rom was 2.3.4(sprint), but i think that any stock rom should includes these service numbers(##......#).

another thing: how to import contacts from internal memory, I only find importing from external SD.

Thanks A Lot...
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
Could you guys tell me, ussd code is motorola issue or android issue? If it is an android issue i will buy an iphone. Because ussd code is very important for prepaid gsm services
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ussd code is problem of specific phones, mostly global phones. Including blackberry.

I changed the keyboard for cm7 one, modified to be bigger. Included better rtl patch for arabic from jam97, made some changes to notifications, to be more compact and included toggles. Repaired sd ex/importing, modified ex/import dir to root of sdcard (internal). Will upload v6 today.

About programming menu, if I understand it right, it works, but appears only after first install and it's not possible to start it anytime later? With the ##3828# code for example.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
I do a lot of web searching and i found that may be that motorola radio problem

because ussd works wonderfully on htc evo design 4g - world phone + android.

and some one said that:

"Motorola notoriously block NV items and controls radio behviour by NV rather than OS. Thats why in all moto global handsets, USSD codes do not work. Even when we load AOSP ROMs. "
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
First post updated with another version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tk161900:
LOVE THIS!!

Im very happy that i decided to do this. It sucks losing 4G but its definatly worth it. Does anyone have any suggestions on a kernal to overclock with?? Also I used to be able to access my data options by using the Dialer and dialing ##3282# but not it doesnt work. Is this because of 3G tweaks?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Seeing there won't be a dedicated thread for 2.3.5 mms issues I'll leave this with you guys.

Issue:

Sprint MMS Send and/or receive failure

Attempted fixes;

Swap APN-conf from working 198_7 ROM

Swap APN-conf with custom conf that contains only Sprint APN's

Manually programming APN

Edit build.prop device id DB to match working 198_7 ROM

Swap sms/mms related apk's from working 198_7 ROM

Kernel swaps

Observations and Results;

logcat does not even show an attempt to send

Even after manually programming APN, no APN profiles are listed

All above attempted fixes in various combinations still fail to resolve issue

The next step at this point is to dig deeper into the 2.3.5 base and swap out sms/mms related service and frameork files from 198_7. If this fails then ripping apart APK's and going over the code line by line.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I can make Joker's 1.3 kernel with this ramdisk.

And I will try to take apart the Dialer.apk, and Conversations.apk but it's hard for me to debug CDMA, when I don't have it. First thing, I would try, is swapping them from 2.3.4.

And ussd codes could probably be repaired too, by hexediting libmoto_ril.so. But what and where? Who knows? :-)

And the programming menu seems like mystery too. :-) But it's probably the Dialer.apk problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chien35:
Confirm CDMA not working, I'm not a Sprint or US Cellular user...
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
for unlocked users only, this is a blur kernel 1.3ghz with many fixes. rom flies here. compatible with this rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I need more info. Step by step initial startup activation of CDMA network.

Here are some codes, that I found, just for info.:

LOG_CHECKIN_SVC = "#35468#"

MMI_IMEI_DISPLAY = "*#06#"

NWSCP_DISPLAY = "#073887*"

USSD_HW_VERSION_DISPLAY = "*#8888#"

USSD_SW_VERSION_DISPLAY = "*#9999#"

**04*xxx...# - don´t know

**05*xxx...# - don´t know

After entering #073887* and 000000 code, you should be able to get to the programming menu.

Someone please check it. 2.3.5 dialer is different and allows only these codes.

So, about the ##3828# code.

It's starting the hiddenmenu.apk (not programming menu) which is specific sprint app, and it's not going to run on 2.3.5 Electrify rom.

Programming menu app should be working, but I cannot get into it with 000000 code.
[Motorola Photon 4G] apidroid:
hi peetr

i asked you if i can use motoblur stock keyboard or not in another thread.

can u post the apk file?

[Motorola Photon 4G] maxon_yalta:
Hi, peetr_!

Is there any way to make standard BlurMusic Player work with this rom?

I tried, placed it into system\app folder, gave it permissions and it just gives me a FC. (

Play Music is nice, but it doen't have lockscreen controls, and you should unlock your phone to change tracks :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No checkbox, but flashable addon, ok.

Edit: In the first post.

I am sorry, but Blur Music needs Blur services and account, so it's not possible.

Play Music has very nice lock screen controls, but how to make it working?! There is no option for that. Probably works on ics only.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
If you want lockscreen controls, try winamp. It's what I use on gb roms

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Agreed! There must be a way to make the charging led work without an app like it does in native CM7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:

Maybe, but I suppose there will be some new Motorola phone as Christmas present. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Great find, thanks a lot I think I'm going to really like this one

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ramonsterator:
Thanks! That addon just swaps sdcard & sdcard-ext in vold.fstab ?

And also - I would really like to:

1) Have configurable Power Widget, like in CM7

2) Have configurable Notification Widget

3) After CM7, and now even CM9, I really miss option "Vibrate when answered in outcoming call" and "Vibrate on 45second of each minute in outcoming call"

What can you say?

It would be very good! !
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes, it swaps in vold.fstab.

I am sorry, but as I wrote, this rom will never be perfect. I am not going to learn and make configuration app.

There are some more things that I would like too. But just searching, where and how to change it, takes hours and hours. Changing takes hours. If it's not working, debugging and repairing takes hours.

If you come with something easier, I will be helpful. :-)

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
These options provides launcher. In Nemus it's in app drawer tap on menu and edit. If you don't like it this way, you can install another launcher.

Peetr, which kernel would you suggest using with this ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
include jellybean :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] sk8rguy05:
have you tried just downloading the apk and installing it that way? thats what i did i have the motoblur connected music player running on this rom and it installed with no problem. here is a link to the apk: https://rapidshare.com/files/353230020/Motoblur_connected_music_player.apk just download and install on your phone.

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

jellybean would be nice. but if you could make it to where this rom could be locked and have 4g working that would be amazing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I do not suggest any of them. You should try, which one fits most to you (speed, battery, stability, etc.). But I am using that 1.3 overclocked from Joker a few weeks and I am satisfied.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Are you running it at the full 1.3?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes, it cannot be underclocked, lower frequencies don't hold and it returns to 1.3 everytime.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Ok, thanks! How do you like it compared to Oleg's kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
i think standart clock speed is fast enough. 1.3ghz gives more heat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] apidroid:
as asked in up

do you think about porting another version of android?

ics or jellybean?

i think you can handle it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dschoms:
V 16

What am I missing? I'm not seeing v16 on page 1.

Nevermind. That's what I get for thinking sequentially. LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
it won't be any better than cm9 (which has a lot of problems because of missing drivers). if you want ics just flash cm9. :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] apidroid:
i flashed it many times but browser issue is big for me.

there is a special version for browser but it is not smooth as the main one.

i mean that if peetr can make a new hybrid rom with ics or jellybean this time.

stock/ics for example.

it would be better i think :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
#073887* and 000000 code

Help!

My rom is V15.

weird i cant get programming menu by entering 000000 code!

what's the correct code?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Kernel from Oleg (it's combined Atrix and Photon kernel from motodev team for cm7, cybik uses it too) doesn't allow touch screen controls for webtop, so I didn't try it enough long to compare.

I think I will be using stock first, then I will try cm9 and if cm9 will be good enough, I will stay with that. If not and I will still have Photon, then I will make my own again. But that is too many "ifs". :-)

You must find your SPC code (subsidy lock) with RadioComm program. There is how-to thread, in general section.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
Hi Peetr_ , I will be very happy if you can somehow be able to use call recording in this Rom, I tried a lot of apps for call recording, all say that it works but it is not, it records but you cannot play it , help pls. Thanks.
