I'm not in the US and get a wifi error. The apk from Motorola hasn't helped me. Can anyone help? I want to give this phone to a friend but I can't give it with non-working wifi.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I really dont use 3 way calling but ill give it a shot to see what happens.

Thanks for the input.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Please do because this feature is vital to my business. Thanks for your help!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
Would it be possible to incorporate the HDMI mirror resolution mods from the 2.3.5 stock/cm7 hybrid rom? It works great and have not been able to find anything like it.Thanks for your work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Ill look into it.

Updated the error when mounting the internal storage has been corrected as I was able to port the 2.3.4. toggles over to the 2.3.5. system. It will be included in the next update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
Thanks. If I new how to resign a rom I could probably do it....any pointers on that?

Do you have to be on 198_6 or 198_7 before flashing this ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I started with a sbf from 198_7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] carrilloevo:
Hey its there a way to install this one on a 2.3.5 photon, is there a way to root it, thanks guys
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
Great.

For those who are just beggining and need a simple start to install CWN... here are the instructions.

Once finished, backup in CWM

Then install the ROM mentioned in OP through CWN and choose install form SD card after you place rom mentioned in OP in the root of your SD card.

Disclaimer: Not claiming to be an expert here. I haven't really did any modding to the photon before now. I always did all my custom rom installs on the ASUS transformer. never felt a need for a custom rom on photon nor did I want to loose 4G, this rom seems like the way to go. Thanks mof9336

Anyways, just posted the above for those that have no clue where to start (like me a few seconds ago)

Edit: maybe there is a better way, I dont know, but this worked for me since there was no photon nobb instructions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
If you mean the full ota 2.3.5. update. The answer is no. If you flash it none of your services will work, calling, wifi, data etc.

From what I've read you can get root access with the photon torpedo method.

If there is enough call for it I could make a version to work on the full 2.3.5. Ota update but I'll need some guinea pigs for testing as i dont have the full 2.3.5. with the new bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
No thats accurate. Nice looking out didn't even think people wouldn't know how to install the bootstrap recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
version 1.2 is up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
Alright thanks. Gonna try it
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Let me know how you make out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
Awesome! I been using the v1.1 for a week with no issues. Today I finally defeated all my fears and unlocked my photon for the very first time and I tried a couple of the ICS rooms (they're sweet) but stability and camera (video) are essential for me so I'm charging my battery right now so I can flash the SBF and I will have to flash the v.1.2 thanks a lot for your work! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Ok so I've encountered a problem when trying out this rom. Upon first boot when it runs setup, if you 'skip' out of logging into your google account setup with forceclose repeatedly forcing a restart. Upon restarting it will bootloop. I've repeated this a couple times with the same results.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
did this happen to you with the new update? or with v.1.1?

I'd like to know before I flash lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Oh it happened on 1.1 i just didnt notice anything in the changelog that i thought would have remedied this issue. Im going to be trying with the new version in just a moment. But dont let that deter you from trying anyway. Besides, the only reason i always skip logging in during setup is because it will automatically start downloading all the apps that were previously on the phone before the wipe. When logging in under accounts page in settings, this doesnt happen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
Oh well maybe you had a bad flash cause I never had the problem, and just as you do I always skip the initial setup.

Good luck! I'm waiting for my battery to be fully charged so I can SBF back to stock and start all over.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Still doing it for me on newest update. Would removing setup.apk from the zip prevent me from logging into my google account and such or would it just prevent the initial setup?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
What rom are you coming from. If stock which version? Are you using the bootstrap recovery?

I also always skip signing into my google account and have not had a problem with this or any other version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Jokers CWMv3, coming from cm7. Wiped system/data/cache/dalv before flashing this. Might also be noteworthy that it doesn't happen with any other 2.3.5 based roms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
I was so ready to try this new update and I messed up big time!

I forgot to do a factory reset before flashing the SBF and I'm now stuck on a bootloop and I don't know what to do! I tried re-flashing and stills the same

I know this isn't related to this ROM but anyone knows how can I fix this?

:(
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Unlock.

Install custom recovery via moto-fastboot

boot into cwm

wipe system/data/cache

Boot into rsd

Sbf
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Might be a conflict with the cm7 kernel and the rom. I'll test it out. Im running the 2.3.4. stock kernel.

Is it the hybrid cm7 if not please provide the link to the thread. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
I did that but just did the factory reset.

I will go back to recovery again and wipe the system too!

Thanks a lot Sir!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:
V1.2 is working well for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
V 1.1 is working nicely for me just wondering if there was going to be an update version of 1.2 like there was for 1.1, because i really don't want to have to reinstall all my data again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I'll see if can can put on together tonight. There are alot of changes from 1.1 to 1.2 so maybe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
V1.2 flashed and working great. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Glad to hear everything is working well.

Hey is this rom able to use 1% battery indicators?

Sent from my 4g intact rommed MoPho!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Let me know how you make out.

From where. Please provide a link. But I would say preliminarly no. Battery steps edit the framework which has already been edited. Plus if the framework is from a 2.3.4. system it will cause a bootloop.

I have plans to put it in a future version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
I use rom toolbox and change the battery indicator.

Sent from my 4g intact rommed MoPho!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Did that include the 1% battery steps or just changed the battery icon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
They have the icons that work for different steps but you have to install the icons for the steps that are set up on your phone or they won't work.

Quick question, is it easy to remove those notification toggles. I've been using wodgetsoid since I got the phone and prefer it over any other toggles I've seen. Unless of course these toggles don't require a popup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Im not sure what you mean by the toggles requiring a popup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
I believe hebis referring to the notification toggles. If so then no they do not require a pop up but it would be nice to edit these like in cm7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I am actually working on this. Learning android is fun.
[Motorola Photon 4G] schale01:
I was thinking this might be possible using kitchen ( http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ )
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Glad it worked out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Is anyone who has a tethering plan through their carrier using this rom. It has come to my attention that there may be an issue with this process?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I'm a Wigetsoid diehard too but I hate the required popup. Fortunately, the toggles in this ROM work perfectly without a popup. I wish I could select/create toggles for the features I really want.
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Sweet! I am up and running. Thank you for your help this morning mof9336. This was much easier than I thought it was gonna be and the rom is awesome! Just like having a new toy to play with again for a bit :) Running smooth as silk too. Oh, the only thing I noticed is I no longer have the custom recovery icon in my app drawer but it must be somewhere right? Course I don't think I need it now or I guess I could just go through the install instructions again for it if I ever do
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I am working toward this among other things. But I have 2 jobs and 3 kids so I just tinker with this in my spare time.

Glad it worked out for you. The bootstrap recovery was wiped with the system during the install. Your going to need to reinstall it if you need it again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
I thought that might have been it, thanks for clarification. Now, go play with your kids :)

this rom vs. other locked roms

I've used skinny4g and it had so many errors and bugs i went back to stock...I have for about the past month been running rocko3.0 bootstrap and am so far very happy with it despite a few bugs...

My question then is "Is this rom more stable than the other locked roms? How does battery life compare? I would flash to test but I am out of town and using my phone for work.

Please just a few feedbacks from anyone that has used both this rom and rocko or really any other "locked" rom would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

MOF, have you looked into the 2.3.6 update for other phones as this fixes voice search issues as per the Android Changelogs...just wondering

I'm going to go ahead and flash this through bootstrap...only question I really have is what bloatware has been removed?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
It might have been just me but the updater-script kept getting stuck on:

delete_recursive("/sdcard/Android");

I manually removed the folder via my PC and the installation completed successfully. Hope it helps any others who may come across this issue. Not exactly sure why it was having trouble removing this folder but it's working now =)

Wifi Tether Issue

Mof, first of all, I love this setup. It is a great starting point for me to build the photon I love. I like the toggles and the snappiness. Only issue I have is with wifi tethering. I don't have a wifi tethering plan, but have been tethering under the radar on stock rooted photon using the following method:

Here's what you do if you want to set it up in INFRASTRUCTURE MODE, otherwise it is defaulted as AD_Hoc:

Open up WirelessTether

Hit the *Menu* button and press Settings.

Under [Device Profile], select Google NexusOne (This is the most common profile for this mode, I've tried different ones. Most of them work)

Under [Setup Method], select Netd (master)

(If you wish to do so, select encryption and channel options.)

Scroll down and check [MSS Clamping]

I got everything set up on the 2.3.5.ish and was very happy until I tried to tether. It tries to start up, and the errors out. It tells me i need to contact my provider to get tethering. It never did this before. Has anyone else tried this method? has it worked for you? It's kind of a deal breaker for me... but I really don't want to go back to stock.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybrnook:
Found an issue I need verified.

Tried adding my Yahoo email account after doing a hard reset on 196, then rooting, installing Boot strap, then updating to this zip.

Updated successfully. But, now when I try and add my yahoo account, it keeps failing even though UN and PW are correct. (Exchange accounts add fine) So I then went into the dock and select "Messaging" - Menu - Edit Universal Inbox and then it FC's. I think there may be an issue with adding email accounts in this update.

I also noticed that "Unified Messaging" is missing - I see a backup from titanium from 2.3.4. But I do not see this process in 2.3.5, perhaps you removed this on accident?

Please Advise
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Have you tried THIS as an alternative. This is what I use.

I will try and check this issue tonight. I set this rom up for my use basically so some bugs are coming out. I use a different email client other than the stock one so I didnt see this.

Still in the works. I've been busy working on the found bugs and working on ver 1.3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] texanman:
after using this for a while my 4g problem fixed itself. However I did find another minor bug if you do not know already. When I am done with my hdmi cord and unplug it the hdmi symbol still shows up in the notification bar. It will remain there until I reboot my photon. Not a huge deal since I only use my photon for netflix at home.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:

[Motorola Photon 4G] alexpkeaton:
FYI, I sbf'd back to stock and Wireless Tether 3.1 beta2 (which is the app I was trying to use before) works great. Flashed 2.3.5.ish and it gives me the 'contact your provider' error. So there is definitely something different with the tethering on 2.3.5.ish.

On the plus side, I found that Foxfi does work with this ROM... so I don't have to go back to stock! Thanks again for a great ROM Mof.

If anyone else has this error, google foxfi and go to their website to get the .apk... sprint blocks it from the play store.

[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
Just went to 1.2 and it is super fast keep up the great work man.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Been for nearly a week and can't really complain. Battery is fair could use a little work but lasts me 10-12 hours with moderate use. Performance is really why I have stayed. I came from unlocked flashing a new rom everyday it seemed like, but went back to stock to restore 4g as 3G was just to slow and the bugs were rather annoying as I use my phone for work. Thank you for creating what I can use as a great base to build off of.

Only real request is if you can look into making the drop down toggles customizable and look into removing more blur so we can have more of an aosp rom.

Thanks again for your amazing work!

My apologies if this has already been asked mof, but is there any reason the social networking app is absent??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
I also have the hdmi icon problem. I am not at home to test this, but try turning off nebtop before you unplug the hdmi cable. When I used it last night I noticed that after doing this I did not have the lingering webtop icon.

Correction.... tested and does not work. Sorry
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
One thing i did notice using nebtop is that sometimes my phone touchpad becomes unresponsive during webtop while using this rom. Has anyone found a solution to this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Sorry for no replies folks. Ive been off from work which actually means Im more busy then when Im working. I address questions tonight. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I have been using the 3.1 beta 9 without incident for some time.

Thank You glad it worked out.

I am working on the toggles but I am new to coding for android so work is slow at best. I was thinking of releasing a deblurred version anyway.

The social networking app was removed just as a space saver and to save some additional ram. I cant see any issue with putting it back if you have a backup of it.

Sorry I cannot comment on the webtop and or the hdmi output as I dont use either of them.

Restore nandroid backup?

If I reRoot reinstall Boot Strap Recovery, can I restore my stock 2.3.4 rooted backup with no problems?

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Do you mean SBFing back to stock from this rom and then restoring your 2.3.4. Backup?
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
With OUT having to SBFing back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Im sorry im a little thrown off by the reroot. If you mean after you flash the rom can you use bootstrap to restore your data then yes. If you want to restore your data and system to 2.3.4. wipe them both before the restore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Great Thanks, thought your Rom was not rooted from the get go.

Will the new radio get replaced by the old one?

[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
Mof I have a question, it may be a dumb one but it's better to ask than bing in doubt lol.

I wonder if the room is builded from the leaked ota or are you now using the official one. I went to the Photon update website and looked at the log and it says they improved music playback.

that's one thing that always annoyed me, cause I listen to music while I work out and there was always this little noise when you use the earphones and you have the volume set to medium or lower..

Or is the leaked ota the same as the official?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
The leaked update was the soak test Im not sure if sprint made any updates between the soak and the official. Is the official update available?

As far as music playback not really sure I use pandora or google music. I dont like clogging up my phone with music.

The rom is based off the SOAK test.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
I use pandora and Google music too, I think it was referring as in playing music in general. not just the stock music player.

And Yes Sprint has released the oficial 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_12

I just wanted to know, and I got the answer! Thanks a lot

I'm using your rom and runs great.

I was just wondering if the soak was the same or they improved added something else.

thanks! :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] bosox04:
commenting on your De-Blur survey, I have been using Loki's DeBlur script for the past few weeks with your ROM and have had no issues. I ran Loki's DeBlur script on v1.2 then ran the v1.3 update, which applies your build.prop and systemui.apk.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
The first 2 posts are a change log of sorts.

Guess I could make something a little more organized. The only real change with the new update is the new notification toggles that I wrote. I really wanted a 4g toggle in there.

Loki does real nice work I was using his debloat script before I made my rom. Now with the addition of the 4g toggle that blur home is pretty much pointless. The only reason I kept it around was for the toggles.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bosox04:
Yup, up until going to 1.3 this morning, i been running deblur script then adding back toggleswidget.apk to your 1.2 rom. How does your build.prop compare to Loki's Deblur build.prop....do they generally have same tweaks?
