Updated Gapps Photon

It's also reupped on both Jokersax and MIUI.us.

Thanks for the heads up, Loki!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
No problem. My folks need new phones and are on a time crunch so instead of fixing the my JoyOS port I'm sending them GSM Photons running your port.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nice! Thanks for the vote of confidence :)

Hope alls going well with you, my friend

CADPage. Im a firefighter/emt and i receive an SMS message from the computer system at the dispatch center every time we have a 911 call. It takes the SMS and automatically generates a pop up with the dispatch the info and a Google map with the location tagged.

Sent from my Electrify
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hmm...it doesn't open? or opens with no functionality?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
It will open but it does not function as designed. Once the app is set up with the needed information it monitors incoming SMS messages. When one is received from dispatch it "intercepts" it....I guess. Then a pop up appears from the app. They don't make it to the messaging app. I can open this app and have a log of all received dispatch messages since I last deleted them. Now the app will open manually but it is not "intercepting" the messages anymore. They are going straight to the stock SMS app.

I had this issue when I had my desire and used gosms. It wouldn't let it work either. I had to use handcent or the stock app.

It works on cm9 and aokp. Was working g on miui but not since a couple of updates ago.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Don't suppose you have a logcat of the issue when it happens? Why does that sound so messed up to me? Yeah...logcat an Android problem when you get an emergency call...just sounds so wrong...
[Motorola Photon 4G] nandroide:
bill, yes, i have been looking through miui for a bit now... seems MIUI is actually missing the locations it needs to actually look for and apply the Status bar, dialer, actual "Home" Framework, etc... themes. i'm sure if we had the source we could easily modify those bugs... i myself just want a damn APP drawer, and the ability to remove certain applications from the homescreen. But i love it so far.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
extract the apk altappdrawer from one of the older builds and install it, then you will have an appdrawer in miui home

The dark night theme is saweeeeet! White on white problem with text in a few places, but well worth the trade off.:)

Edit : also some black on black. In gmail app can't see the icons at the bottom delete and such.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I have noticed this as well...I'm going to see if I can mod this one some, as it's the most complete theme that we have. Well, Buuf is just about as complete as well, but I like the icons of Dark Knight. If I can get it adjusted, I'll up it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
Well for whatever reason its working now. I deleted it and reinstalled, which I tried twice before, and now it works. Here's hoping it keeps working.

[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
This theme is pretty complete. There are a few issues with play store and Gmail but installing inverted apps fixes them.

Bummers all these good custom photon roms on XDA are one another single site which has been down for a good time now on a long weekend.

I think torrent form would be the way to go for backup/availability, as I understand personally how new sites not well established tend to have consistency issues with up-time now and then no matter how hard they try to please.

Please dont jump me..... like i see happen often here at xda for a simple comment and suggestion. I dont mean to show any disrespect, I appreciate all work done here and understand it takes countless hours of ones own free time to share generously with the community :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Well bugger, I still don't understand it all and I hate bothering others but here goes. So I went to qbkings video on how to unlock and was watching it and he talks about using a pudding.rar file. I could have sworn I read somewhere not to use pudding for my phone under any circumstances, that it will brick it. I have 2.3.4... 198_7...and I am on Sprint. So, yes? no?

Thanks again

Sincerely, your newbie pest Deb :)

Maybe till I understand this stuff better for this phone I should just root and use titanium backup to freeze a bunch of apps. It's just that I have ICS on my Epic 4G and it is really sweet
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
I followed this link to a T and worked well, and the pudding as you mentioned is mentioned in the link also: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20331623&postcount=6

What was said in that link was Do not flash the 235pudding.rar file in the pudding thread. This is for electricify users ONLY
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Oh! wait , okay I think I got it. I think I was reading that a different way and you just made it clear. When he says this is for Electrify users only he MEANS only the electrify users should not flash the pudding file. I was reading it as, this is only for electrify users, thinking he meant that ONLY electrify users should be using this file. LOL Does that make sense how I was reading it the wrong way? Wow I sure read that wrong, thank you for clearing it up for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
I think you should read it again! !WARNING TO MOPHO USERS! Do not flash the 235pudding.rar file in the pudding thread. This is for electricify users ONLY

I personally had no use for that file nor ran across it. I think you should go back and start from the first step or at least re-check, so you dont get yourself into trouble. I am by no means a pro, only recently unlocked myself and understand some of the things no so clear and confusing(still fresh in my mind) when unlocking. Good Luck, you can do it if you pay attention to each step.

Hey everyone !

I am still running the .22 version . I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing really bad 3g and network in general ? I flashed the tweeked network version I think and was wondering if the regular one is better. I am very consistantly showing no bars or one bar in places that I should def get 3g at least . Don't know what else I can provide really though.

My other question is I am going to be updating to the newest version of aromatase and option chooser tom . Do I need to wipe anything ( or everything )

Thanks for the help!

John
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
You shouldn't have to wipe if you're coming from a previous miui. And I know that all the ics aosp roms show true signal strength. I'm stick locked right now and my phone never shows less than full bars when my network signal widget shows less.

Got the phone this afternoon. Wife is very happy. Going to have to set it up tonight :)

Better yet a S III lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Changelog? Just curious what was updated/removed/fixed in the latest version.

thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
anybody experience the google maps just disappearing? This happens in navigation too after some time. Exiting the app completely and entering again fixes the problem. Couldn't really find anythign in the thread for this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Venomusdragon:
I just wanted to let you know how much I regret giving up my mopho... miui was an amazing build... I've had nothing but issues flashing it on my SGS II and it doesn't seem to have such an amazing support group as this mopho build either... guess I'll haz to stick with aokp until something amazing happens in the miui world of the S II... in short... still support ya bill! Keep kicking ass!

SGS II, check... aokp port, check... mini phonegasm, check

Party Spock is in the house, everybody have a logical time!
[Motorola Photon 4G] SquaDrive:
i'm sorry.. is it just me that didn't have DSP manager after installing MIUI?

or everyone else have the same??
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
So did mine! :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
DSP manager not fully functional on MIUI. I'll up it in a flash zip in a few mins..
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
1. Still looking for a changelog - thanks.

2. After this update I started getting these annoying text messages about every hour:

//ANDROID:MWI Notif turnOn mdn: (MY PHONE NUMBER) CFGs3202.0=09er91gx91b72AOTEJPLe//CM

The above text is basically the same each time except for the last ten or so characters.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1) Changelog is HERE

2) Not sure what that is. Have you deleted any apps?

Anyone else having issue #2?
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Don't think I deleted any apps other than some I did not like from the Play Store. These text notifications seem to come in pairs for some phone calls that I do not answer. Maybe it has something to do with voice mail??? I'm not using Google Visual - I just call my phone number to get messages.

Thanks for the log!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Do you have any voicemail set up for your phone? I set up google voice, then just have it go to me gmail acct. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28334298&postcount=746

I was desperate to get it working with the last build and had no idea how to follow bullfrog527's instructions, so I opted to assign the #1 key to my phone number. Kinda clunky I guess compared to Google Voice but at least I can retrieve my messages.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SquaDrive:
i see..

so that's why u didn't put it in the ROM..xD

where do u upload it?? in jokersax?

please tell if u finished upload..:D

i don't know, i like DSP much more than MIUI sound effect

anyway thanks as always bills..

This is just the file. Push to /system/app, set permissions and reboot
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
I can't believe what a difference two months can make with this thing. I tried MIUI at the end of May and was just too unstable to be a daily driver, and now since this has working MMS I'd say this actually makes for a better every day ROM than the stock CM9 (which is also fantastic). Keep up the amazing work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
It seems like you have Sprint Visual Voicemail set up and this text is informing you that you have a message. This message is usually translated by the Sprint Visual Voicemail app but since it is missing, you are reading it in raw form.

MIUI.us 2.7.6 Photon > Does GSM works ?

Hello Bill,

Thanks a lot for the files.

Before I flash with the Aroma version, I thought better to let out my

silly question:o

"Does GSM works with this build ?"

Actually the question comes because I flashed many previous ICS4.0 alpha builds and MIUI versions, but couldn't get GSM to work in any of them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hey Everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I will be starting my vacation today. I will still try to maintain the builds as best as I can, but over the next few days while we drive, I may be a bit out of commission. I will try to fix any issues when I return :)

Aroma flash sequence

Hey, are we to reboot into recovery between flashing ROM, Chooser and Themes or not?

Also, coming from Standard 2.6.22 MIUIv4 I understand I can just take the Aroma version and flash over without wipe. Is that right?

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's an error in the calendar app....strange...maybe try reflash
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would back up with backup app and full wipe...both MIUI and Base CM9 changed between those builds
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
Chrome installs and loads just fine on my Photon. But using it is a different story. It is very buggy and crashes alot. I uninstalled it. I'm not sure Chrome was made for the Photon. I have tried various other browsers as a result. I have had success with UC Browser the most. It is the only one that doesn't crash when i switch from portrait to landscape. Give it a try.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
What's the difference between the Aromabase Photon installer and the Options Chooser Photon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
they were broken out into separate zip files so they can be handled better during the flashing. flash base then options then themes. be sure to scroll down in each page. I missed a couple install options my first time through.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
And between them and standard?

Posted with my CM9 MoPho!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
standard doesn't give you the customization of options... from what I understand.

That's what I thought.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Chrome uses gpu acceleration, so as long as there's no stable ICS gpu driver for our phones, Chrome wont isn't going to work right. Too bad it's not like the desktop version where you can disable HW accel with a command line switch.

Also, Firefox 14 and up work great, I keep it around for any site I try to visit that crashes Chrome or the built in browser.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.7.13 is ready now!

Aromabase is up on Jokersax.com

Standard Flash is at roms.miui.us

Optimized GL rendering in this, so transitions may be smoother than 2.7.6

Aromabase has some new options that were previously only in the Options Chooser :)

Cheers​
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
The one thing that still irks me about MIUI is not being able to set custom backlight levels like all the other CM9 roms, so my brightness seems to fluctuate wildly. Is there any way to tweak these settings? Or even if I found out what file CM9 stores these settings in, could I just set them in CM9 and copy that file over to MIUI?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Any ETA on the options chooser? Or should we use the last one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Most likely tomorrow sometime

Can I flash the Aroma the same as the Standard - just copy to SD, reboot to recovery and then choose Install from SD and no data wipe?

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
You've got to follow the instructions in post 1 thru 3. And don't forget to in CAN in Advanced do the three small steps Th3Bill mentioned. Then flash, it will finish in a reboot. The go back into CWM and flash Options and Themes.

This is with stock/1.3/1.4 kernel?

Is the 1.4 kernel stable now? As in compared to earlier?

Jumping to 2.7.13 now :)

EDIT: Comparing my results to yours, the biggest jump I see is in the I/O scores. The 2D scores have actually gone down in yours, so aren't the graphics a little slower now ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1.4 is still one that I can't guarantee works 100%

1.3 runs great...got over 4000 quadrant with it

Wifi

Hi. My wifi won't stay connected when the phone sleeps even if I choose "always" in the advanced settings. Actually I tried changing the options in the advanced menu and it seems to get stuck on "always" and won't change. Even with that, when the phone sleeps it disconnects my wifi. I have seen this in other ROMs as well but never came across a good fix. Did a fresh install after a total wipe. Thanks!

I cannot, for the life of me, make GSM work on my phone.

I flashed the GSM fix and still nothing :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Are you domestic US? If so, GSM most likely not going to work without the radio reflash (which WILL BREAK CDMA) that's somewhere in the dev thread.

If foreign, try flashing and using the Tweaked version. It seems to be a little more reliable with gaining GSM service
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:

TWRP 2.2 (I know, not using Joker's recover is always risky), Aroma installer (options: system wipe, EMMC primary, all extra apps except music)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just found a an even better (and free alternative) to root explorer. Root Browser (I will be including it in future builds :) ).

To get rid of some of the network location issues, do this...instead of deleting the apk, go to /system/lib and delete the following 2 files:

libnetworklocation.so (no longer necessary)

liblocSDK_2.2.so (leave 2.5 there...that's the new one).

I forgot to take these out, and they are obsolete, but still try to pull up, thus causing issues with other things.

If you're going with Root Browser, you may as well throw this in there too.
