[Motorola Photon 4G] [BY]onicS:
I never succeeded using hangout and wifi tethering with this ROM before this new version.

Hangout not started because we need to update something like google application, and I can't update it from google play.

Wifi tethering has not respond at all.

Is this new version can solve my problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
same issues for me also :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] francis_fds:
First install another keyboard, make it default and then use an app like NoBloat to uninstall the AOSP keyboard
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
I was seeing this too. Very frustrating. I ended up installing Go Keyboard and it works fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
ahh i see thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
I use some of these.

Google voice typing is not working for me, any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
First, this IS ICS....just MIUI ICS.

What app isn't showing up on desktop after install?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm doing a complete re-setup of Aroma for this build, so bear with me...it may take a little bit of time to get the build out. I am in the process of coding it, and will test it....I hope to release it late this afternoon or this evening. In worst case scenario, it'll be tomorrow :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
Awesome news because I am back . Tried the others out there and they had too many issues. Think this is the best from for me and I will have to learn to work with the white screen issues.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You'll love new edition...themes in it that theme all or nearly all the rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Does this mean the Theme, Wallpaper and Ringtone downloader will stop throwing "Download Failed" with this release?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No....the "Theme" app at this point is not functional. MIUI is now only compatible with V4 themes, which don't seem to be on that app yet at this point. I had posted a link to a themes page a while back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.6.1 will drop tonight. :) I'm on it now. I'll post when I get home. Change log pretty good too. Its another nice smooth build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
What about the ability to download ringtones and wallpapers via those apps?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Wallpaper working for me. Ringtone didn't show any options...lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
having small request. How can I disable auto rotate function for the 180 angle? I want to stay only with 0,90,270.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
for some reason whenever i flash this or cm9 my phone ends up randomly shutting down until i do a battery pull
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
it was same here, I used 1.3 kernel. Try flashing kernel v7 from my thread, it works fine here

Browser rotation bug is awesome!
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
My thoughts on latest update so for. FREAKIN AWESOME. This one is a keeper.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
New Build is UP!

Links in OP and 2nd post

Changelog

Optimized Aroma Installation Choices

Music App Choices

Camera App Choices

Theme Choices

Other App Options-I can't remember...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll have to look into that. I don;t think there's a menu option for it...I think it's somewhere in the framework

I'm pretty sure that the menu only has enable and disable
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Does the aroma version have options the standard flash doesn't? are the differences between the 2 posted somewhere

Anyone else have problem with no lighting on hardware button backlights? [edit] seems to not work while screen is dimmed at night, but ok while in bright light during the day.

Also having issue with Home button not always working for long-press to view open tasks.

Disable home screen rotation doesn't seem to be working (not disabling the rotation).

Other that that is works great and I love the build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
all those issues are facing by me also...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Oh yeah and much faster battery loss.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
By reducing CPU mhz speed... you can get somewhat better battery life....

Use cpu master to reduce the speed..
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Cant change mhz speed, I lost root too! Damn! Cant figure out how to re-root, nothing is working to root after upgrading from CM10 to MIUI.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
Please check permissions app on security center folder.. there can get root access
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
I have. That's enabled and still not allowing root. I think I should get a pop-up or something asking me to approve application root access but I tried a few different ones and still nothing.

Am I missing something?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
Phone restarting again and again if we enable tethering or Bluetooth on this Latest ROM
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Has anyone been able to install Google Play Services on this rom? Every time I try i get an error about it being incompatible with a current app using the same device id, even tried pushing it to root to no avail.

On a positive note, google voice and rom toolbox work and no longer force close on start!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
Please reply solution
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
USB mass storage is also not working while connecting phone to system
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:

Please request you an update of those

Lost hope in miui... changed to paranoid Android... it was very smooth..
[Motorola Photon 4G] DX///M:
first of all, thanks OP for the great work,

got tempted again to jump onto MB855... would use it as daily on PagePlus, and hopefully with US GSM unlocked and ready for use..

sub-ed for my future ref, just curious that whether this ROM would have any further development?

or, what's the most stable and batt saving rom (GB/ICS/JB doesn't matter much) - I know I could search, so don't bother to comment if you don't feel like to.

just thinking aloud.

cheers
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Unless Th3Bill decides to update it, or someone else starts a new port, don't hold your breath. He has moved on to the Optimus G.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm going to be working on the device again. I am hoping to bring an update to this soon. Kinda fell out of the Android world for a while.

I did a few updates to this that I didn't release, as they were somewhat buggy and since I didn't have the time to properly debug, I didn't upload them. I will be working on this soon. It may take some time, as I am going to try to get 4.3 working for the Photon (No Promises, so don't get upset if I don't....I'm still working with broken driver kernel). I'm also going to try to upgrade the kernel to 3.0 (want to base off the work being done on the Atrix.

Hope all is well for everyone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pgriffinsc:
Hey Bill! 4.3 offers some nice features, like open gl es, but after reading, 4.4 looks to be friendlier to older or lower spec devices. I upgraded to the S4, but have my photon as my back up, so looking forward to the updates. Thanks Bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Then I'll probably try playing with 4.4 rather than 4.3. I'm going to get a couple builds of 4.2 done first (get some of the final stuff done before I get into something totally new. I know that there have been some pretty good changes, so I would like to get as many bugs worked out before I go beyond 4.2). Might take a little bit, but I'm making my return nonetheless :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] drpepper84:
Bill, first off THANKS a LOT for all your great work !!

whatever you choose to work on, stabiity and speed would be preferred over more features etc...this phone is getting old and grandma MoPho just needs a good set of hip replacement vs a boob job :)

anything update will be highly appreciated and i feel like you have a much better assessment of what needs to fixed and revised ! :) Good day and gobble gobble !
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Anyone have a working link to the latest MIUI build for this old device? I am resurrecting it as a wifi music player. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ganeshshas:
Still are you using this phone.. Bad luck
[Motorola Photon 4G] heyChristo:
I would love if somebody could post a rom link for this phone also. I pulled mine out of a drawer and would like to play with it. Many thanks in advance to the good Samaritan that would resurrect this post.

Found it,

Haven't tried it yet. Unfortunately I don't have 32gb< sd card. :(

[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Newest aroma rocks! Great job man. 2.6.1 running great! I am using Olegs v7 kernel. Fast and smooth. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
There are a TON of options. Standard Flash is just a regular CWM flash. Aroma one has tons of options for add-ons, tweaks, apps, etc. Too many to list. I plan to do a listing and explanation in post 3 very soon...maybe I'll work on it a little today.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Cool....wifi and bt work with it? If so, I'll add it as an option when I reup Mon or Tues
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Sure I wouldn't ask without reason:)

What do you think about browser bug when rotating screen?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes wifi and Bluetooth working great.

Th3bill Miui with a Olegfusion V7 under the hood!
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Have you tried the kernel that comes with MIUI? If so, how does it compare to Olegfusion? I'm interested in trying another kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Still a bug that seems to affect most if not all ICS Photon builds :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Good deal! I'll add this in for my re-up, which will include the Toolbox as well :)

reup may be in a little bit....Toolbox is about to be tested on my phone :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
POST 3

I updated Post 3. It has an explanations of the options that are included in the latest build, as well as the pages that you should encounter them :) Hope this helps!

CHEERS!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
The Ringtone and Wallpaper downloader seems to be fixed with this release, thank you :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
ReUP is going to Jokersax.com NOW (give about 20 minutes for Upload)

Added in MIUI ToolBox

This allows rotation of MIUIHome, custom banner, center clock, single signal bars, etc.

3rd Kernel will be added tomorrow and reupped

CHEERS!
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Bill, try this one in build.prop:

windowsmgr.support_rotation_180=false

holy ****, 2.6.1 is more than 400MB
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
I need help I downloaded the aroma version tried installing it but i keep getting a boot loop im flashing over 2.5.25 to 2.6.1 not wiping like it says in the instructions but its not working can you please tell me the proper way to flash using the aroma version
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Sweet thanks I just noticed the toolbox and am very curious.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah...she's a big one.

I'll check out putting that in for my re-up on Monday :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
No need to worry guys I got it lol, I was missing the steps provided in jokredact.com, eagerly waiting the reup with miui tool box

sent from my mof*ck!n mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
ok, for disabling modes of rotating screen, you can easily use those parametres in build.prop:

windowsmgr.support_rotation_90=false

windowsmgr.support_rotation_180=false

windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=false

I personally disabled 180 and it works fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Has this been uploaded with Aroma Installer? I don't see anything changed on Joker's website could just be that it's not updated. Is the current the new one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Its on there...just gotta look
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
Yes its still the 2.6.1 as upped yesterday. just replaced same version with toolbox.

I understand your confusion though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
WARNING: All of the APKs in this post are entirely experimental and are not recommended as daily drivers. I will be updating the APKs as best I can but I am not the original author; it will be some time before we find fully working AOSP APKs to replace system apps. Your mileage may vary, use at your own discretion.

OP: What's up everyone? Lately, most of the HTC apps have been getting on my nerves; notably, the Messaging app with its 600k MMS limit and with a few other problems that just grind my gears, like font resizing.

Messaging:

I have found the SMS/MMS APK that works perfect with the One X. It's able to send and receive MMS, and has no noticeable apparent crashes (forwarding crash fixed).

http://goo.gl/qbSJ5

(5/26/2012) I have edited the MMS.apk file to stop it from compressing large images to oblivion. All images will now send at full quality.

It is recommended you make MMS.apk a system app by moving it to /system/app. (5/27/2012) There are reports of the MMS.apk not properly sticking as a system application. I RUU'd back to 1.85, and flashed a rooted 1.85 partition. From here, I deleted the original Message+CRC_1.apk, installed this APK normally, then converted it to a system application. I have had few crashes, I will look into them.

Keyboard:

I also have an ICS keyboard (LatinIME.apk) file that works as a great ICS keyboard. without all of the Play Store non-sense. If you guys need or have dictionaries, let me know and I'll update this post.

http://goo.gl/Z8Htd

Gallery:

http://goo.gl/2ZsI9

(5/27/2012) It has been reported that the Gallery settings do not work. I will look for a better Gallery.apk that functions better with the One X.

Calendar: (5/27/2012)

Here is the AOSP Calendar. It seems to be working fine for me except it shows my Google account twice. Please reply to this thread if you can recreate this bug.

http://goo.gl/LtZAh

I uninstalled the Sense Gallery and the Sense Messaging apps and have noticed no significant flaws. As stated in the beginning of this post, your mileage may vary. If you encounter bugs or problems, reply to this thread. Thank you all for testing these APKs, feel free to PM me with ideas or information on these apps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] waleed90:
How would I go about uninstalling the stock messaging app? When I try to install the MMS Apk it says "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed."

EDIT: Nevermind, used Titanium Backup and put the apk in /system/app
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Backup with TiBu and move mms.apk to system/app then set permissions.

Had a few fcs and a weird one where mms would show up as unknown number which to my knowledge is impossible lol

Kinda cool actually... After a reboot all is well
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
Working rn on the MMS sending problem where the MMS sends in low quality... Should have a modified APK up soon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john9:
I’m with you .
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
You're gonna need to be... This is harder than I thought. Smali is no joke.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
I fixed the low quality MMS issue where your pictures would become grainy when sending. Should I upload the MMS.APK? Only downside: some phones may not support really high quality images.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Upload anyways, I wanna see rogers limit :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
<int name="maxMessageSize">5242880</int>

<int name="maxImageHeight">2048</int>

If you send an MMS over 5 MB, good luck to you. The file is attached to this post!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Which one is better to use? Will every picture I send look grainy if I use the one in the first post?

Yes. I'm personally using the modified one and it's working fantastic.

How do u install the mms.apk ? I coped and pasted to system/app but no luck can some one help ?

I'll update the original post now.

Sent from my HTC One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] albmob:
OK :) thanks

Update : I'm not getting it to install

I used T.B to back up the stock message app then I used root explore to go to system / app then deleted the message app then triad to install the mms.apk but no luck
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
Your screenshot from TiBu shows its installed..............

Sent from my HTC One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Well this is a weird one, message sends fine when sent from the existing thread. If sent from the gallery or any other app it creates a new message without switching to mms mode... Now if you stay in this new message and attach the picture again you get this ..

Its like it sends the picture, gets lost and then a blank SMS comes from an unknown number. Btw when you send pictures from existing thread it compressed 1.4mb to 68kb... Somehow tibu deleted my original HTC SMS app so I'll stick with this for now :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] albmob:
That's the one i backed up before i deleted the stock messaging app
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
The correct APK is uploaded now. Sorry! You should have no problem installing the APK from anywhere now. It is recommended you move the APK to /system/app, but you can do this simply with Titanium Backup.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] broseph23:
I still can't get it to work!!! I downloaded the apk, moved the stock messages apk into the downloads folder to back it up, then moved the modded file into the system/app folder. All of this in es file explorer with the system mounted option checked. I tried both clicking the apk to install it and just restarting my phone. Install fails and app isn't in launcher after reboot. What am I doing wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Scott:
Great job man!

I am out of Thanks for the day but will hit you up later!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xtremediablo1:
having the same problem. fixed permissions too. i restarted and as soon as sense loaded it said "unfortunately, messaging has force closed" or something like that. any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Stock messaging app sent this picture at 91kb whereas this sent the same picture at 512kb.

Thanks :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
What do the permissions have to be set at? Also I was a dumbass and forgot to back up my MMS app before removing it. Can someone upload theirs for me?

*EDIT* Nevermind. I fixed it and got the new MMS working. Had permissions set wrong. Dinked around with it and got it working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] albmob:
Hi would u like to share how u got it to work ? And can u upload the original one because I deleted and don't seem to find it anywhere thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dwd3885:
I can't seem to get this stock ICS Gallery to sync with Picasa. Is it doable on this version?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
Now I'm not getting any lockscreen notifications for the new app.

*EDIT* Rebooting. Didn't fix it. Notification showing in bar but not on Messaging app in the lockscreen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
Can't get this mms.apk to work, I remove stock apk replace with this one in system/app change permissions to rw-r-r no luck. Doesn't show up in app drawer at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
Try rwe-rw-rw.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
Na that didn't work either. Hmm
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
In root explorer move into /system/app and then set permissions. THEN click on the app itself after moving and press install. Click OK and profit

Weird it should show up just from moving it and a reboot but this worked for me
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Btw OP I'm still getting the odd fc do you want logs?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
Yes, please send me logs. I will look into them but I can't guarantee I will be able to fix the force closes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Haha I was just gonna grab a log of this one bug I had isolated but I can't recreate it for the life of me. Lol Murphy's law
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
Wierd I downloaded the mms from op instead of the moded one later in the thread, moved it to system/app set permissions to rw-r-r exited out of es file explorer and it showed up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Now try and download the modded one and just install over.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
It's actually interesting. I had absolutely no bugs until today, when I tried sending a regular SMS to two numbers. The app crashed but the SMS still sent. I'm still trying to recreate the same problem, lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
I'm looking into the Settings tab and other features not working in the Gallery app. Will see if I can find a solution.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
By lockscreen, do you mean the Sense lockscreen? This is an AOSP app, it will completely break all Sense functionality. I actually deleted the HTC lockscreen... I hate Sense with a passion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
There's nothing to download in the link to the mms.apk

I have the files you posted the other day and when I use them my facebook contact pictures don't show up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
Fixed. Updating all links now.

Mine seem to be working just fine. Make sure Facebook for HTC Sense is not uninstalled, clear its cache and reauthorize it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neworleans-7:
I'm having a problem where I choose the picture I want to send, I send it, and it doesn't show up in my messages list nor does the recipient receive it. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
That's odd. I'm having no such problems. Did you uninstall the stock Messages app and make the new Messages app a system APK?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neworleans-7:
I renamed the stock Messages app and added the .bak extension after .apk so I don't know if that may be the issue. But I did make the ICS Messages app a system apk.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xtremediablo1:
are you on 1.82 or 1.85? because im on 1.82 and it isnt working...i think a prerequisite might be 1.85

Sorry guys I'm returning my One X today... Won't be updating this anymore. Red, you can close this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xtremediablo1:
ha thats so funny. mine is on ebay too. so much potential. so sad.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
Great, great hardware. But Sense is just a deal-breaker for me. I hate Sense, I can't use a phone with it. I'm not waiting four-five months for a developer to release AOSP. It is also plagued by manufacturing defects (light bleeding, faulty radio, inconsistent battery). I will miss the screen, the speediness, and the battery life (when it's good), but not much else.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] broseph23:
Why close the thread when other people.can use it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xtremediablo1:
yea i hadn't noticed the light bleed until someone brought it up in another thread. and i agree. AOSP will take too long to come out and it looks like this phone is due for a recall in any event. well, thats HTC for ya. fall in love with the hardware only to get ass raped by the software.
