Hello guys!

I'm using CM7 w my Elecrify, and I totally love it!!

BUT! The only this is annoying for me!! This is an ACTIVE kickstand!! Sometimes when I want to grab phone safely, I pull kickstand to slide it between my fingers, and STUPID weather app opens!!

When I delete it's apk - pulling kickstand does weird stuff!!

So, how can I disable active kickstand mode??
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Alternative suggestion: Get a Flygrip. It will allow you to hold your phone how you want. (I don't work for them or anything. Or even use one. But I used to hold my phone by the kickstand, and it seems this would do you one better.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ramonsterator:
Thanks, but I don't want to use any additional gadgets.

And more - even when I just use kickstand to put phone on table - it makes me mad when I press HOME button and STUPID dock weather app opens!!

:mad:
[Motorola Photon 4G] TechGuy77:
Is it safe for me to restore a TWRP backup of this CM7 ROM if I have "[ROM][GB] Hybrid (Stock/CM7), Multilingual, Deblur" ROM installed on my device currently? That is of couse after I make a current backup. I only tested CM7 for a day before trying the Hybrid ROM, did lots of personalizing on CM7 and just want to go back to give CM7 a longer go around. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
You should be okay. Restoring a backup wipes all your existing data and system while restoring your old stuff.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Curious what you think of this kernel project. If they are successful would it be possible to make cm10 with that as a base for the photon kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ramonsterator:
Here is solution to people who wants to turn OFF freakin' active kickstand!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
already tried building the Xoom kernel with a Photon/Atrix known-to-be-official config file. There's parts missing. That's a no-go.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wolficus:
evening i had an issue with the wireless refresh not connecting back up. i found a simple little tweak to fix it. thought i would share since i think a few others had the same issue. as best i can figure the wireless looks connected but no data can pass through. why this happens.. not sure.

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

i pulled that from a battery saving tweaks forum. does seem to help on the battery life.. also fixed the refresh issue.

in other news... due to us cellular selling the network in my area.. i will be moving to sprint and a new phone. so i am willing to flash more risky tests if devs need a tester.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sashank:
Has development of this ROM stopped? The last nightly was 2 months back, so I'm curious if cybik is planning to continue or not. Any word regarding that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
I would assume that nothing has changed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Gingerbread itself is long finished. This ROM still needs some work, but it might be a flaw in Gingerbread itself. Like how WiFi will randomly disconnect and have to be disabled and enabled again before it will reconnect. Might have to make a Tasker profile to automate all that, but part of it would be above me, like detecting that my router is in range but not being used somehow. I dunno.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Looks like they abandoned trying with the Xoom kernel, they seem to be trying with the Galaxy R kernel now, think there's much of a chance?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
there's other things that are taking priority in my schedule.

nope. motorola bits will still be missing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
How dare you have a life? LOL :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Are there any CM7 ROMs with persistent WiFi or is that impossible pre-ICS? That's pretty much the one thing this ROM needs that I can see. It's pretty much done otherwise. I mean once everything works right... what more is there?

Motorola Electrify / US Cellular / Jelly Bean / PACman 18
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
If I don't have a life I'm gonna go crazy.

...well, crazier than right now.

And you don't want that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LMAO! I know how you feel. :)

So, you gonna come join the migration to the LG Optimus G from the MoPho?
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Is that as close to a nexus as we can get?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Its better :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Aren't the optimus g and nexus 4 VERY similar
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Lol optimus G. I'm in GSMLand a.k.a. Canada. Already have my Nexus 4.

HELL naw.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nice! I thought about changing from Sprint, but have to many devices on contract.

I can't say that I mind not being able to get the N4. The OG is pretty nice. I have no complaints thusfar. Looks like LG really took a HUGE step forward in the last couple months with these devices...can't really go wrong with either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Isn't the n4 just an optimus g nexus?

Holy crap why is it that development has stopped for the Motorola Photon but the Motorola Droid razr maxx already has 4.4.2?

I NEED A STABLE AND SWEET ROM FOR DIS!:(
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Then maybe you should develop one. Build a ROM, but before that build your kernel and new drivers for everything on the phone for the upgraded android.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wolficus:
development stopped after motorola dumped support for it. then locked the boot loader hard. no kernels were released for the next versions of android.

i will give credit to the hard working devs for trying though. they gave it a good shot.

if you feel up for it.. you can try. but you will have to develop your own drivers/ kernal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dark_boy99:
link of puding is dead

plz give new link

i need to unlock boot loader
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Could someone please upload the last build of this ROM since CM's website is now dead? I'd greatly appreciate it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] tattedupboy:
Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to install this on a friend's Photon, and I'm following the instructions down to the letter (booting into clockworkmod recovery, flashing the wipe all zip file, flashing the rom zip twice, flashing gapps, and fixing permissions before rebooting). Yet it just sits at the screen with the Motorola dual core logo and goes no further than that. Am I missing something?

*Edit Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
wipeall zip?

Also, not a support thread. Sorry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I have the exact codes for the photon variants (from my previous analysis) but thanks for the heads-up. Appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
btw something you may get a kick out of. if you go to my site and run a certain contra code surprises happen
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
are you using the correct recovery? i recommend jokers recovery or the photon3 recovery. it's possible your recovery is the problem. i had the same thing happen when i used an old recovery. i use photon3 now.

if you have one of the latest recoveries boot into it and manually wipe data factory reset, format system then flash your OS and gapps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
Looking forward to this possibly. When im in Newfoundland, i roam cdma but Singapore im on gsm. Would be trick to switch w ease. Best of luck and glad u r back on the sunfire.

Subscribed, wating for 4g wimax :) oh how I love cm7. that, coupled with sony bravia engine, data2ext set to 2gb. I'm a happy camper. maybe don't need that much space no though since the photon has more memory than my last phone. A big thank you to cybik for your endeavor
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
this is amazing!
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
now why would possible need data2ext on this phone??? there's so much space on it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kingbo777:
This turned into my daily driver today. Waiting for the missing pieces to complete cm9.

Contacts didn't come up at first but cleared dalvik and fixed permissions and when i rebooted there they were.

So far, so good. No issues at at all. thanks.

I'm wondering why scrolling is so choppy yet everything else runs like a dream. Maybe an off setting?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
What's choppy? You mean like the menus and stuff?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moisaal:
Interesting. I haven't noticed any lag in the scrolling, in fact compared to the KANG CM 7.2 this rom is a dream, **** is smooth like buttah. Could have to do with your launcher settings. what are you using?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sin-cal:
Your absolutely right :) I said that not knowing there is almost 3gb already allocated for programs. such a great phone. I have to say, I'm liking it better than the evo 3d i had
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I agree that this cm7 seems to run much better than the kang version. At first i thought it could have been the launcher aswell. I was using VTL, then went to launcherpro and had the same result. Then back to ADW. Scrolling within most apps seems peachy, but say, within cm7 music or settings, there is a noticeable lack of fluidity. Perhaps its because I'm using the default kernel with no overclock. There is no reason jokers 1.3 kernel wouldn't mesh well with this right? If not ill install and see if anything changes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
I normally run Go Launcher, but the latest update hasn't been running great for me, so I switched to the qHD Launcher from dev-host. I've always liked a complete stock look, and that does the trick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sin-cal:
Running ADW 1.3.3.56 launcher. No lagging or oddities.

[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
Anyone here know the difference between joker's and oleg's cm7 kernels?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Found out what's causing the choppyness for me. Its the theme manager. When I'm on the default cyanbread theme everything is smooth. Its when I'm on themes that have heavy transparency like Crystal that the lag is noticeable.
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
I used oleg's kernel on Kang's CM7 and my battery life increased 3 fold. I usually got about an hour for every 10% but now I get 3 hours. His ROM runs grey and I am using Set CPU with profiles. I am also using go launcher.

I plan on trying this ROM because all I hear are great things. I just didn't have the proper time to flash it. (Been on call for work)

Buildprop edit

Cybik,

Could you comment out the sprint tv settings within the buildprop? I believe that it is not possible to get the sprint tv app to work on CM7 (i tired for the last hour with no luck). Those settings kill youtube and have to be edited every time the ROM is flashed.

These are the ones I am talking about:

#BEGIN Motorola, 30Jan2011, w19837, IKSUNFIRE-215, Feature ID: 35761.

#[sprint tv transport protocol support]

sprint.mm.http.proxy = pd.vog.sprintpcs.com

sprint.mm.http.port = 8085

sprint.mm.rtsp.proxy = rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com

sprint.mm.rtsp.port = 554

sprint.mm.network.type = unknow

sprint.mm.nai = unknown

#END IKSUNFIRE-215

--------Change to----------

#BEGIN Motorola, 30Jan2011, w19837, IKSUNFIRE-215, Feature ID: 35761.

#[sprint tv transport protocol support]

sprint.mm.http.proxy = 0.0.0.0

sprint.mm.http.port = 0

sprint.mm.rtsp.proxy = 0.0.0.0

sprint.mm.rtsp.port = 0

sprint.mm.network.type = unknow

sprint.mm.nai = unknown

#END IKSUNFIRE-215
[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
Ok then. I know what I'm flashing now. Thanks dude.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I let those things in because I thought that Sprint possibly has some kind of grandfathered unlimited multimedia traffic plan for Audio/Video data that needs said data to be proxied through Sprint's mm servers. If you can prove that my theory is pure speculation (a.k.a. bollocks, or bull**** in american english), I'll gladly neuter those configs in the build.prop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Pretty sure all sprint plans are essentially the same when it comes to data access for smartphones at least. Sprint only allows smartphones to be activated with smartphone data plans and they check it all with the ESN to make sure you are on the right plan.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
+1 to that. I've been changing my proxies to all zeroes since I first read about it when I had my EVO. Plus, it also gives a slight boost in 3G speeds(at least it did for me on the EVO). I noticed an immediate difference in download speed after the changes were made.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Mod is uploaded to my device tree. Can't really test today, I don't haz easy / unlimited access to the net and quite honestly I'm a bit down. Still, done as per you guys' experience.

[Motorola Photon 4G] epark1281:
If you're speaking to the issue with YouTube, then cybik has repeatedly instructed us to replace all sprint related proxies and Ports to zero. (in the build prop)
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Read above.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Sprint TV was free when i first got my plan last August. Since then the TV app has went through 3 different revisions and most of the videos are "premium" aka must pay. I tired this on bone stock ROM to confirm and yes you now have to pay extra for most of the videos.

They also changed the android permissions and some security checks with the app. On cm7 it doesn't pass the checks at all.

Long story short the app now suck balls and no need for those settings.

Thanks for the commit!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Need I remind everyone... Not a support thread, and the commit is now included in the Mainline device tree.

Yeh. The device tree is in Mainline now.

Cool, guess that means we will be under supported devices on the CM website and forum as well eventually?
[Motorola Photon 4G] niphoet:
I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall someone mentioning an alternate kernel for this rom. I haven't run it yet, but I thought someone mentioned it. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
I asked about oleg's CM7 kernel several posts back, and it runs amazing for me. I can go a full day with normal use (several calls, texts, web browsing, etc.).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Well I guess this sort of answered my question :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] niphoet:
I can't find that one, only his CM9 kernel. You happen to have a link?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
Here you go.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pjree:
Congrats! I saw the announcement about the upcoming merge in today's Cyanogenmod blog.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Please keep alternate kernel discussions outta here and report on stuff only if you're running purely the packages Jenkins or I generate. I respect oleg's kernel work, but since it's not _in_ the package I generate, I'm not really supporting that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
APNs are incorrect for sending and receiving mms. The setup in the op of the cna thread work.

Also, any reason why the vvm flashable from kangcm7 wouldn't work on this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
I'll wager an answer for the VVM: Because i'm not kangcm7. KCM probably has some added magics to make the VVM work.

APNs are probably configurable on my end but I can't do sh!t these days, with having no internet at home and all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
APN's are set by the user.

This rom seems to clean up the audio signal compared to the stock. No more white noise at low volume levels.

Oh how I've missed you CM7...
[Motorola Photon 4G] NukeFish:
This rom seems very good so far. I had to make the buildprop change for the carrier network, I set it from 0 to 7 and haven't had problems since. Just got through my first full day with it and everything seems stable. Battery life is about the same as the stock rom which is good. I had a stupid problem with one of my contacts though. A friend's number was stored as +1(111)-111-1111. The call wouldn't go through at all, as soon as I removed the +1 it worked. No idea why he was stored like that but just warning any others who may run into this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Error Number 419:
My carrier is showing up as sprint but I have us cellular. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] NukeFish:
Wireless seems a little flaky. I set to to always stay connected but it drops out in places where I've never had a problem before. It took about 30 minutes for it to do it this particular time. Not a huge issue but odd.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
The included carrier ID xml file is a Sprint one. CDMA roms decide of the Home carrier's name using local resources and not network resources, which is a pain in the butt. I'm thinking of doing a firstboot app that lets you select your carrier: "Sprint, USC, Unbranded".

Also, GUYS, you're eating bandwidth like motherf*ckers. A "slow" month for "releases" is 20gb and you ate 40+ gb of bandwidth this month only AND WE'RE HALFWAY. Lucky for me, I have an unlimited bandwidth package. But damn.

Also unlimited isn't actually unlimited. They will drop you like a rock once you hit their magical limit.

Meh. Never hit anything remotely like 20gb before, so it's kind of new. And since I'm on shared hosting (that I paid 260$ 10 years ago ish), they could get pissy.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonathanlc2005:
im a noob with all this cybik, so please be nice...

but what makes this different than KANG CM7?

also...

could i install beats software on this mod?

thanks

also... i installed this, and it tells me to force close android phone when it first boots. is this normal?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Pure cm7, no KANG parts. Yeah you probably can, but i dont know where a proper version would be. And yeah thats normal, it sometimes has a problem defaulting to CDMA. Cant remember the exact build.prop line, but scroll back a few pages, its somewhere in here. Change the value from 0 to 7. Its recommended to do this in the actual zip before flashing the rom. But changing it and restarting will probably work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sivarticus85:
ro.telephony.default_network=0

Change this line to 7. It fixes the force close.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonathanlc2005:
i did that... i still get force close
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Maybe 3 or 4?
[Motorola Photon 4G] NukeFish:
It gets me through the day and works relatively well but I'm still having radio problems.

The wireless is really finicky and doesn't want to stay connected to the AP even when I set it to never turn off, usually power cycling or disabling and re-enabling wireless fixes this.

The phone radio occasionally drops down to 1x and wont come back. I've had to power it off and remove the battery to fix this. Also, sometimes when I hit the power button to wake my phone up it just doesn't do anything. A battery pull also fixes that.

Is there something I can do when this stuff happens to give you more technical feedback?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonathanlc2005:
nevermind... i just reinstalled CM7

it fixed the force close issue.

the only issue is HDMI mirroring doesnt work
