[Motorola Photon 4G] Another Drunk NPC:
Can I use Sprint Hotspot for free on this ROM?

I'm not suggesting theft, just for security purposes ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Silent Call Bug

Since flashing this ROM, I've experienced the silent call bug 5 times. I haven't experienced this bug since receiving the Sprint OTA update last year that fixed it.

Anyone else experience the silent call bug while using this ROM? Any solution(s) available? Otherwise, I love this ROM!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dsparil:
Going to try this during the weekend. I love CM9, but the browser rotate bug is driving me nuts. :)

Sent from my CM9 GSM Unlocked Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BigSketchySeaBeast:
Agreed..
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
some of my apps(instagram, pixler-o-matic) are refusing write data to sd cards(internal or external). i need to do fresh install but i'm too lazy. :) am i the only one with this problem? is there an easy fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Just tried pixlr. It writes failed, but the picture is saved.

No, it writes file saved, not failed. I read too fast. :-)

Btw. I am looking at the 14 toggles mod and it looks like this is nothing I can make. It's implemented in touchwiz framework, which already has toggles in stock rom. But I could try to change some toggles. I would like to change sound toggle for flashlight and autorotation for 2g/3g switching. So, let's see, if I can make it. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Changing the sound toggle for the flashlight would be great. What is the value of switching between 2g and 3g?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Using 2g saves battery, but 3g is faster, so quick toggle for this, is good.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I never considered that... awesome! I trust you will find a way to implement this. :D

Delivery report question: If using GoSMS and a text message is not delivered, will I be notified?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I am not sure about GoSMS. I am not using it. But I think, it should notify you with icon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Ok, thanks! I didn't know if the lack of support for delivery reports in this ROM would affect undelivered sms notifications.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No, carrier sends you the message, that SMS cannot be delivered, after some time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xopher.hunter:
Thank you peetr, I come from the samsung epic so it makes sense that its touchwiz based, however the only things I really want up there that isnt is a brightness toggle and a flashlight. I dont really see a need for the sound toggle since we have dedicated HW buttons and a lockscreen slider for that. If you can fit 6 up there nicely it would be sweet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
fyi.....

I use elixr app whitch has a brightness toggle widget, that you can even configure the varius % increments
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
I flashed this rom earlier today and so far I really like it. Had been running cna for the last couple of weeks but missed having video record.

The only things I miss from that rom are being able to wake screen up using the volume buttons and to be able to put screen asleep without having to use the power button. Is that something that could be added or is that just for ics based roms?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
There will always be something, that someone is missing. :-)

I cannot make menu for choosing options, like in cm7. I've seen the volume wakeup mod and probably could implement it, but I don't want this option. There is probably some app and widget for both things, you are missing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Ok thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I use an app called "no lock" from the market. Not sure if this provides similar functionality.

Overall, this ROM is so good, it should be the new Android stock!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
it is a really good rom. I just like the features I mentioned because it really saves the power button.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
peetr, is there any thing I can do to get Blur Messaging working so I can use it mainly for group texting? I like the way it does it much better than GoSMS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Hmm. You can try it. Push Conversations.apk in system.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I am a super noob in this department. Can you walk me through this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dito33:
This is a grate feature and should be option in every rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Just something for testing purposes. :-)

But if anyone wants to try?

http://www.d-h.st/cZE

It's ported notification toggles from defy rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] swuln:
This rom is running great the only issue I have is my lock screen says emergency calls only... I'm on sprint and its activated and working fine ..
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Something like that there is no SIM card?
[Motorola Photon 4G] swuln:
Yes.. It says no sim card inserted ,emergency calls only.. I'm confused .. I understand the photons a CDMA - GSM phone I'm just confused why its saying it.. I didn't know if there was something I had to change.. Like I said my phones working fine... Love the rom..
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
ok... nice peetr

toggles all work perfectly.

im running vs 12 with ITIM italian sim card here in Italy.

im sprint in US but use a Vodafone sim in Europe and zeam sim in middle east

your ROM f*#%ing rocks

thanks for all your hard work....
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Did you remove the link?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
Toggles works perfectly
[Motorola Photon 4G] seve1476:
I've read through the thread and haven't seen it mentioned, (if I overlooked it, I'm sorry) but my stock camera app is very buggy. Keep getting FC's. I moved back to this rom mainly because video/camera is just too buggy with ICS Rooms. Any idea how I fix it? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
You must change one line in build.prop - ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone = 0 change it to 1

Which language are you using?
[Motorola Photon 4G] seve1476:
English

Just wiped cache and dalvik, fixed permissions in cwm and started working again. Hhhmmm??
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Hmm, this is weird. Can you post the log here?

Hmm, dalvik-cache probably.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seve1476:
I can sure try if I knew how. Also, I've also got the "no SIM card" at lock screen as well but my build.prop line has the 1 instead of 0. USCC Electrify user here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
If Camera works now, you don't have to post the log. After changing 0 to 1, you must restart.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seve1476:
I never changed it. It was already set to =1.

**Disregard** I'm an idiot and didn't read correctly. Thanks for your help and love the ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
So you are not on the version v12... And it tells you, you don't have sim card inserted? You are the first electrify user here, that I know about. Now you installed from nandroid backup? Or?

lol :-)

Ok.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Btw, this screenshot is not enough. Did you noticed, it's 9 scrollable buttons? :-)

But it's not working perfectly, there are no indicators, brightness mode switch is acting weird, etc. But scrollable concept is good.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
One small update. Flashlight seems to be not working with new toggles

And is there any options to change the available toggles?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Sounds cool! I hope you can work out the kinks. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Someone please make a 3-way call and let me know if it is successful. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
It's not flashlight, it's brightness. ;-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
Sorry... My mistake :-)

But any option to change toggles?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Nope.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
how do i go back to my old toggles bar ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Reflash v12.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimms:
Sometimes my music files are not being played saying " this track cannot be played" etc. Also i lose my custom ringtone setting. Once i reboot, it's back to normal.

An not using any SD card. All files are on internal memory.

Am on v12. Did anyone experience this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dschoms:
Camera question

Peetr, thank you for a wonderful ROM. I have not found anything that doesn't work. I can only think of one thing that I would tweak and that would be to have the ability to change the default camera function when opening with the shutter button. I have found Camera Zoom FX to be a superior app to the Motorola app. Any thoughts about making the default camera app changable? Is it even possible?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Alpha version of new notification toggles.

Wifi and screen on time force closes statusbar.

Flashlight button doesn't like torch app.

11 buttons

http://www.d-h.st/1Gp
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Are you saying the wifi and screen toggles force closes the status bar just once and never again?

Think the Flashlight toggle may work better with a free app like Brightest Flashlight or one of the other ones available on the Market?

I prefer Camera Zoom Fx too... great app! It would be nice if it could be launched with the shutter button. Great suggestion!
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Doesn't camera zoom have a check box you can tick that sets it as the default camera and makes it launch with the camera button? I haven't used it in a while, and never with this ROM, but I remember doing this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, you're right. Problem solved! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Oh and I forgot, every button handles long click for some settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Does bluetooth work on this rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
yes, of course.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
cool. The reason I ask is because I switched to cm7 and I can't get bluetooth to work on it so I might switch back to this rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, this ROM is a BEAST!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
how are the new toggles? Is there a toggle to turn screen off?
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
strange, did you install my build which I removed or latest cybik's?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
I had yours but switched to cybiks latest. I didn't test my bluetooth though on yours just cybiks latest.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
ok, I didn't try latest cybik's anyway.

by the way, let's no spam here, in Petr's thread ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I don't know what I would do if I couldn't use BT! I'm glad it works very well in this ROM. Thanks, peetr_!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
ugh I wasn't spamming unless asking a question is spamming.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
He just meant it is best to keep the conversation in this thread about peetr's ROM and not about his nor Cybik's.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
First i would like to say that this rom is very clean and very smooth and has awesome battery life. The only problem i am facing is the home button does not work. I tried searching the thread but i can't seem to find anything. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
is the home button a big deal?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
Nevermind, apparently i was using the wrong version of gapps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I'm glad you figured it out because my home button works perfectly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
Flashed joker's gapps the first time but the market wouldnt work so i flashed normal gapps and everything works fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
My phone shows PRL version 51079. I believe the current version is 51089. When I tap system updates, I only get a blank white screen which is probably by design. Is there any way to get the latest PRL update?

Also, is there any way to get Voice Commands and Voice Dialer to work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Voice Commands app is not there and never will be, but Voice Dialing works perfectly.

Don't know about PRL.

Here is the stable version of cm7 like notification power widget with 10 scrollable buttons, each directing into various settings on long click.

http://www.d-h.st/Z1J

It's ported from SGS lidroid mod, with many modifications.

It's ready for daily use.

Only one thing, if you activate flashlight with this widget, do not deactivate with Torch app, but with this widget again and backwards.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Not sure what's wrong but I keep getting this error message when I try to use the Voice Dialer. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Peetr_, would it be possible to add the feature from cm7 where the screen can be woken up with the volume buttons?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Thank u man

Unfortunately still Arabic characters issue .

The font has changed to cm7 font but the words still disconnected.:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Did you tried restart after changing? I see it is disconnected now, but I remember, it wasn't, once I tried before.

Ok. Arabic patched framework.jar. Wipe dalvik-cache after changing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Peetr_ noticed that previous zips reboot_recovery and rus pack had cause of boot loop if you're installing it after full wipe.

Here are patched zip files. Those patches include arabic fix both. Can be used only for 2.3.5 rom.

rus_appsv2 with bootloop fix:

http://d-h.st/xOE

reboot&recovery buttons with bootloop fix only:

Havin probs downloadin pic messages... they come to my pgone but i cant download them... i use gosms and stock messaging app... other than that so far so good... any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
v5 uploaded

Mms can be apn issue?

What is the default settings for sprint?

Did you try to override the default settings in gosms?

I could try to solve this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
finally a 2.3.5 rom! thank you :)

could you please tell me what is the path for bootsound. i want to delete it. it's annoys me :D

edit: i found it. system/media/android_audio.mp3

also could you include "notification toggles" to your rom? there is a mod at themes & apps section but it's not compatible with 2.3.5 roms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I could try, later. But only buttons, that I would use (led light and 2g/3g) are not there, so I don't need it. But I will try to include.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
MMS will not send on the Motorola Electrify.

I used APNS shortcut to try and edit the APNs and there are none listed.

I Added a new USCC APN with all the correct settings, clicked save and it does not show up..

Any ideas on how to edit the APNs on this ROM?

With USCellular you need to have the username to be <MIN>@uscc.net and <MIN> for password
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I gave up on moving Imperium to 2.3.5 for this very reason. This seems to be an issue with the 2.3.5 base in general as rocko 2.3.5 has the same issues. It looks like some of this has already been tried with rocko 2.3.5. I'd like to suggest a dedicated 2.3.5 APN/MMS thread so we (2.3.5 base devs and users) don't end up chasing our tails.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok, one by one :-)

Here are the notification toggles... http://d-h.st/P4A

It is ported from 198_7 SystemUI.apk

Thanks goes to Rangerbry for porting to Photon.

APNs can be edited in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml.

But something is included in framework-res.apk assets databases too. Don't know, if it makes some changes for some carriers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Thing is if you based this off the Electrify, then it shouldn't break with the carrier it came from. I can receive MMS just fine, sending them tho, it just sits there and does noting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
thanks for your effort! toggles are working really well.

i didn't come across any bugs with this rom and it's as stable as stock rom. i guess i won't flash anything till ice cream sandwich. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I changed apns for that one from cm7, to have them all. Only edited them for usb tethering. I will compare with the original tomorrow.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
I copied the original APNS.xml from the 2.3.5 ROM, and its a no go.. same thing..
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. Did you try v4? If not, try it, there are some changes in v5 build.prop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
i edited notification toggles and a few notifications screen elements.

you can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24760982#post24760982
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Gonna try it with V4 now (I was on V5)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. I will try to help. But don't know yet, how this mms thing works on sprint and uscc.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Ok this is what I have tried.

Installed V4, Copied the original APNS-Conf.xml from a USCellular 2.3.5 ROM over the one installed on V4.

Tried sending an MMS, and was a no go... Just sits there sending.

So I also took the original Build.prop from the 2.3.5 ROM and overwrote it with yours.. Rebooted, Still no go..

Really strange indeed.... Can you think of any other files that I can pull from the 2.3.5 to replace on yours that would pertain to MMS?

Im wondering if its something in the De-Odex thats breaking it... The ROM I am pulling stuff from is still odexed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Is there some name of the error, if you tap or hold finger on the message?

Not sure, if it will work standalone, but try to push back the deodexed conversations.apk and delete mms.apk

I tried and Conversations.apk works standalone and you don't have to delete mms.apk

Try sending mms with it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I don't know, make backup, wipe data, and try again.

Wakeup with volume keys is something I don't want on this rom. Maybe wakeup with camera button, if it's possible.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
These new toggles work well and should probably be included in v13 of this ROM. :)

Which toggle is between the orientation toggle and the 2g/3g toggle? It looks like reboot in other widgets.

Also, what does the lock toggle do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
wakeup with camera button would be cool. I don't use my camera button when I take pictures anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
1. It's automatic synchronization on/off.

2. Enables/Disables lockscreen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Perfect, thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Confirmed - works flawlessly if pic storage location is set to internal storage but it blows up if it is set to external sdcard storage. Is there any way to get this to work with the external storage?

Although I have disabled the lock screen, the lock screen is re-enabled upon every reboot. Is there a way for the last state of this toggle to be "remembered"?

As usual, great job with everything, peetr. Thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
1. I tried, but didn't found a way to make it work properly. Maybe I will return to this one day.

2. It is system default, so it's normal, that the lockscreen turns on after reboot. Powerwidget has no storage and code, to remember and automatically apply its last state.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Understood. Thanks for all you've done and continue to do! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Updated first post - v13
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
good update, thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Yes that's it ,I hate sprint kernel!

Many many thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
One thing from changelog is missing. ;-)

Repaired and uploaded, thanks Oleg for superspeed upload. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
sorry i dnt understand what u mean.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

just suggestion about the launcher, I've tried the EZ Launcher and i find it very cool and contain many beautiful widgets.

so in my opinion it would be the nemus launcher replacer for this rom.

please try it.

Thank u
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I missed one thing, so you must redownload. Sorry.

I will look at it, but Nemuslauncher i very lightweight and supporting many languages.

I tried Xperia launcher before an hour, it's good, but you cannot change widget size.

Just tried EZ launcher and I am sorry, but no way. :-) Looks a little like GO launcher, only English language and a little laggy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
No likey ADW?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
LoL ... why not?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I used it too much on Defy cm7 already, it's not bad, but I remember, it had a little laggy app drawer too.

Personally I didn't found smoother launcher, than Nemus, except Xperia S launcher today, but I need resizable widgets.

The launcher, I would like most to try, is Blur Home 3D, but it needs library, which is available only for Omap chipset.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Should I wipe anything coming from v12?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I am not definitely sure, because of gapps changed, but don't see any reason, why should you wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
i found adw app drawer to lag and 7screen preview lags with widgets too.

try zeam launcher

its light weight, resizable widgets, no app drawer lag,

also has double tap any screen to open any app ie. phone dialer
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
I didn't wide and it updated just fine. Seems to run faster as well. Thanks Peetr
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
yeah... an update!!!

wipe dalvic and cache and flash over 12

right.

thanks peetr
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
i swear the new kernal has browser and gplay opening faster.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
V13 is sweet! Great job peetr!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
Haptic feedback

Great job,

Really fast, smooth and stable rom,

just a little thing about the Haptic feedback.

How to decrease the vibrating duration for the screen buttons ?

Thanks,
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes, it can be done in decompiled framework-res /res/values/integers
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Is this recommended?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
If you don't have any problem, then no.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
That's what I did and all is well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
I have a spare Photon that I want to activate on Sprint. Would I be able to do that with this rom or would I have to flash back to stock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
Would have to be on stock. This rom has all the Sprint crap removed and the msl wont get you into the manual programming.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
+1
[Motorola Photon 4G] jortiz12885:
i have a few questions about this rom, I just reverted back to stock, coming from cm9/muiu great ROMS but VIDEo player wouldnt work, espn app would just have sound and some videos that i could play on stock rom wouldnt play on cm9 and mostly am back to stock also to use 4G. Are all these things possible? ESPN APP(i need it for euro cup) and 4G ? also will I be able to UNLOCK bootloader and go back o CM9 later on? thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
This is for unlocked bootloader and Electrify has no 4g.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jam97:
I just want to share may findings while using the rom v13:

while changing from (airplane off mode to airplane on) the phone suddenly gets reboot!

and the 2nd happened while i'm using the flash light just for 1 min then the phone suddenly gets reboot also!

Dose any one experience this or just me?

(I did fresh install)

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] niphoet:
I did a fresh install of v13 on my wife's photon yesterday and the only issue I've seen is that when wifi is on the battery drains like crazy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No problem with airplane mode here, but you are right, about the flashlight, if it's turned on longer, with display turned off, not charging, (probably, while releasing wakelock), the phone reboots.

About wifi - what does it mean, drains like crazy? How long? How much %? Display on or off? Browsing? Streaming? After "battery calibration"?
[Motorola Photon 4G] 27s:
Would it be to much trouble to integrate the sprint ## codes? They can be dead useful.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SLEEPYMAN01:
No problems so far on v13. Only thing bothering me is the carrier name that says "Home Network" I'm on USCC. Any way to change it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xopher.hunter:
I believe they are still there just it is *#*#blahh#*#* instead of ## blah##
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Exactly that code... lol

#073887*
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Same results here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dschoms:
wifi error

Flashed v13 and could not download from Google Play (Amazon worked) and am now getting "wifi error". Tried fixes to no avail, I guess that I'm left with a clean install unless somebody has a suggestion. Help appreciated.
