Oh....I'll up that later.

I'm putting together something VERY interesting...I'm sure you have no idea what my previous 2 posts mean. I'm doing Aroma a TOTALLY different way from here on out.

It will come as 3 parts:

1) Aromabase-Stripped down MIUI with very basic functions

2) Options Chooser-Apps, Mods, Tweaks, Kernels

3) Themes Chooser-Tons of Themes

I can then just put updates out as small zips of just what changed since the last major release...will make fixes a LOT smaller to download and won't require 500MB every other day...LOL

With all of Joker's recent work on the site it may not be necessary, but I have my server setup to check for new torrents every 4 hours and download any it finds. So if you're downloading the torrents it should be a bit quicker.

I manually installed a corporate prl and whenever I roam my phone gets very hot is it connected to the prl or to this rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which kernel are you using and what functions do you have turned on? I know that GPS can heat up the phone like a mofo...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
no extra functions and the 1300 kernel and it happens when I turn on roaming so I don't think it has to do with GPS etc
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
May have to do with custom ril....I'm not completely sure :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Oh I know what you mean! I just like classic flashing with stock features (: but anyway thanks for all the hard work! Things are working great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
could you include go launcher ex in it? just a thought, its my favorite launcher out of the ones ive ever tried.
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
My phone gets very hot randomly also. Doesn't seem to do it for very long, but man its hot when its hot. No GPS on. Not sure If a am roaming then or not. I did notice it gets hoter at times with this rom then it did with stock but nothing to alarming for me if its only now and then.
[Motorola Photon 4G] neonjam:
New photon user and long time miui lover with the nexus s... anyway is there a way to get miui to see internal storage and the sd card at the same time like stock?

Thank you otherwise for this great port.

GSM Issues

Hi Bill,

I have issues with the GSM network, I read the whole tread and I did all the possible solutions and still getting com.android.phone error, I change the build.prop file, change it on #*#*4636#*#* menu to GSM and reboot the phone and also try the GSM fix locate on Jokersax page. What could I do? Is the only thing that isn't working

Thanks:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The New Aroma setup will be UP tonight in about an hour. Now split into 3 files...:)

GSM Issues Solved

Hi Bill,

I could solved the issue, reinstall the rom and use the gms fix from Jokersax for CM9.

Thanks

bug: power button won't work in the camera app as a shutter button.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I've noticed that auto brightness doesn't work as well as it does in CM9. I usually leave this on cause I'm in and out all day and it never seems to darken like it should when indoors. My battery hasn't lasted as long a it did and I'm thinking it had to do with this. I've had to keep data off almost all day in order to last

New Version Up!​

Aromabase 2.6.1

[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Question, do a have to flash the options chooser to keep my options? Our can I just flash the update?

sent from my kick ass MIUIv4 MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You can flash the update. Only issue is that if you selected a custom kernel, it will be replaced with the "base" kernel (I needed to install one so that if someone was installing for the first time, it would boot). Other than that, it should not affect other choices. I am going to put in an option to select replace kernel or no into the reup. May not be up until tomorrow. I have to get the Atrix version of this up and running now :)

Just make sure to pick "NO WIPE". If you pick any other option, it will delete your previous options.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Do we need to reboot the device before flashing the Aroma Options Chooser? or do we just go in and install zip directly after the base installation?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm sure you CAN flash right after. I would allow it to boot once just to let the system set up properly :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I let it reboot after the base flash and everything seems to be working flawlessly. Thank you for such great work.

I have a question however, in the Nexus S 4G version of MIUI I used, you could pick how many screens you wanted, it seems with our version you are stuck with the default of 5. Is there any way to change this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I found it :)

Press menu, then Edit Widgets. Scroll to the edge left or right and you will have a screen that looks like a blank page with a + in the center of it. press the + and you will have another page :)

Cheers!
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
When I press Menu I get: Add, Wallpaper, Theme & Settings, if I click Add I get Widgets as the first option but then a screen to select a widget, never an "Edit Widgets" option?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
From main screen. press menu button, you should see the following options:

Edit Widgets <--choose this one

Wallpaper

Search

Preview

Launcher Settings

Settings

then scroll left and you should come to the + screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I don't get any of those options, I'm not entirely sure how I'm getting a different set of options than you?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Are you using a different launcher? LOL!

I've always had these options on MIUI home
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
That was the exact problem, sorry for the confusion was just a bit baffled by it all. I was using Xperia launcher.

For future reference: You can long press on your screen and the same menu comes up, only when using MIUI Home though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah...I was going to say....have to be using a diff launcher. On this, the rules of that given launcher will override what the system can normally do
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Where is part 3? Wanting to try some different themes! Right now I'm running a combination of the concept ics for system and dark blue for everything else.

Gonna head home from work in about 20 minutes....spend some time with my kiddies before they go to bed, get some food in me (need energy to do Android), then come back sometime around 9pm EST. I'm hoping to have Themes Chooser kicked out tonight by 10:30-11pm. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Ummm, for some reason I no longer have root. I initially had it cause titanium worked at first. Now all of a sudden its gone? Going to charge now and flash the newest tonight

And my mms quit working, weird

sent from my kick ass MIUIv4 MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What version/options, etc are you using? titanium has the potential to bork these builds, as there is HEAVY work being done on many of the system apps and base of the system itself, so restoring items can cause unforeseen problems...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Where does aroma put the log?

sent from my kick ass MIUIv4 MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you save the log, I believe it puts it in the root of either the sdcard or emmc. Not totally sure. I had stopped bothering back 2 Aroma releases ago, as it wasn't working. I know it works now, but hadn't really looked :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Are you saying that you don't have superuser access, or that you're using a "root finder" and it's not finding root?

I am using this build right now, and have root access, just used Root Check Basic, and it verified my root access. What you may need to do is this: Go to TOOLS, then PERMISSIONS, then click on ROOT Permission (this is set to Off by default). This will enable Superuser access in the phone :)

When you say reup, do you mean Aromabase? Or the last of my humongous Aroma files?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Yea the new aromabase, where is this tools you speak of? I don't see it in settings, and no apps are called miui tools

Just so I understand before I screw something up bad, I already flashed the "standard" version of the ROM and it seems great. Can I now flash the Aroma over top of that in order to choose options? There are a few I am interested in. Nice work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Still do the aroma base...that updates the cm9 base
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Which "standard" zip do you mean? The 2.6.1 from earlier or the one from yesterday? If you mean the one from yesterday, then yes just flash the options zip on top.

Nothing I do seems to fix the issue, hangs on Sending forever and then tells me it could not be sent.

Guess I just won't be sending pictures messages for a bit, oh well.

Any chance it may be due to my PRL or Profile? Is there a way to update those while running MIUI?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Unfortunately, no. To do PRL, find the smallest size Blur based rom and use that. Nandroid your system as it is, then flash the blur rom, update prl, then restore nandroid.

When did you download the Aromabase? I reuploaded it this morning with MMS.apk in it, because I think that was part of the issue that Spleef identified with the MMS.apk. Options-chooser is being re-uploaded right now, so don't download it for like another 20 mins...

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

That's happened to me twice. It has to do with the 2d issues. If you be very careful not to mess with your phone while your driving and not turn the screen you save your chances of it happening. I drove from Boulder past Denver 1.5 Hrs and didn't touch it and it didn't do it, on the way back I was careless and it happened. Also avoid rerouting.

Works for me! Haha didn't flash this tonight. Drank a few beers and last time I worked on a phone while drinking I unplugged. It half way through sbf'ing. Took 5 hours to un-hard brick. When u turned it on it just went all fuzzy like an old TV and no drivers could recognize the device. No protocol support, no recovery, nada. Haha but

With the theme that was caked into my last build I ran (I forgot the name) The theme was selectable in the themes Chooser apk. What about having multiple caked in the same way to be able to choose them at liesure? Or is that the plan? Blame the Fat tire's if I sound dumb....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which kernel you using? I just tethered my computer using the standard one. I can't guarantee the others will be fully functioning for this, as they're for previous builds of CM9...

Forgot to mention....this does not apply the theme to the phone. It copies the theme files to a "theme" folder inside the given storage you chose when you downloaded the file. You then go into the Theme app, press menu and then Import from SD Card. Import the themes you want, then apply them as desired :)

Honestly, hadn't looked at ramdisk yet....
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
yes, however I had some testing regarding the battery and it is still good. I didn't change the ramdisk since v4, as I remember, you did some changes, that might help. But I used for some days MUIU with v7 untouched as is kernel and it was good :)

I don't like to post untested stuff
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I certainly know you and Peetr do good quality work, my friend.

To be honest, I'm not sure what all the extra kernel modules do....I've wanted to get into doing a custom source kernel, but just haven't had the time. Gotta resync the Photon Dev github and give it a shot sometime soon :D

I am over looking something here? I choose multiple themes and the second time I only choose buff from the installer! When I do get this working can I choose multiple themes at once in the installer?

Edit: I choose SD Primary and installed from recovery. Now what?

Thanks for the help. I know I am a PITA :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] jpborjav:
Sorry here i go, at least what i remember.

I have emmc has primary, no ext sd card(lost it have to buy a new one), nova launcher, 2.6.8 aromabase, 2.6.8 options, 2.6.1 themes (used both sd and emmc but i cant find the folder that where the themes should be copy), gsm modified build, SRS mod, beats mod, bravia mod, alt 2d libs.

You need anything else?
