Aromabase and Standard versions are UP on goo.im under Th3Bill section

These contain the Toolbox inside them. That being said, you will need to wipe data before install or else you will have perpetual fcs.

Options Chooser will be up shortly...also on Goo.im​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
To ALL THE DADS WHO USE THIS ROM:

Happy Father's Day!
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
I just flashed .15 aroma base no options chooser and when I plug it in to charge if I turn the screen off while charging it locks up then reboots, is their a fix for this? I've flashed it twice with the same results

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What kind of charger are you using? I ask because if you're using a charger for another phone, it may not work. Best method of charging is via a wall-adapter that has a powered usb output that you can plug the data transfer cable into. If your charger is putting out too much power, it can cause issues. Not all the micro-usb chargers are the same :(

I have my phone plugged in right next to me, and I just unlocked and relocked it 20 times with no such issue, so I am not able to make a "fix" unless I can somehow reproduce the "issue"

EDIT: Did you wipe all during flashing? Need to wipe data on this build. Not doing so can leave things behind that could cause some issues.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
It's the sprint charger that came with the phone it's been fine until this update not really a big deal kinda annoying though no biggie maybe that'll change with the next update thanks for the response keep up the good work

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you wipe data during install? Toolbox mods (included) requires that or else you can get some unexpected potential consequences...
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Is the options chooser on goo.im the latest one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yea
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Its your theme. Try a different lockscreen. That happened to me on 2.6.1
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Awesome to know that! Thank you for pitching in on that one... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
No problem, hope it helps. The lock screen being used has to be v4 compatible.
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Hopefully it's okay for me to ask this I'm not asking for any troubleshooting or support. I just need a quick clarification. Thanks so much

On the first page where the instructions are for the standard version, has anything changed from these below

STANDARD FLASH

Copy Zip to SD Card

For Clean Install-Use Wipe-All-Photon.zip found HERE

Flash Rom

Reboot

Enjoy

I know that when flashing Aroma there has been a slight change so I wanted to make sure nothing has changed for the standard. This is the last rom I am going to try here :) None of the other roms so far will allow me to make phone calls. NONE lol So, if this one doesn't work then my phone is just plain retarded. Thanks for info.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Those instructions should be good, wonder why you are having problems?

[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Thanks bullfrog, don't know and I have read so many threads and tried so many things, I'm done with that. So we will see how this one does.

Storage

Hey guys, is there a way to use both the external SD and built in storage?

I have an 8GB external card, and also the Photon 8GB internal, but with the MIUI build I can only access the external with File Explorer. I saw there is a 'Internal Storage Primary Mod' download from jokersax, but will still leave me with only one SD? Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Those instructions are still good :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It will only allow apps to see the one you set as primary. I am in the process of looking into modding the kernel to allow the system to load both storages under sdcard so that they will both show up. Just need to make the time. Working on 3 official MIUI.us builds now (Photon, Atrix, Infuse) as well as some other projects :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Thanks Bill

For Clean Install-Use Wipe-All-Photon.zip should this be installed with a apk installer in the phone itself. I get a installation aborted when trying to install from recovery

NVM I just did the format system, data and cache manually, it's booting up ............fingers crossed..............

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! I have data ....whoooo

I'm so happy ty ty ty to all for your help
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Ok cool! No worries, just wanted to make sure. So I went with Google Voice, but I still can't get rid of these 2 mysterious voicemail notifications...

i attached a picture.

Think I should flash back to stock ROM, check voicemail and reload Miui?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LOL! That sucks!

I would do a blur rom like skinny or shadow....flash back, check the vm, reinstall MIUI, then I install Google Voice only to the point where I have it set up to link to my gmail acct...then I delete the app. I use Gmail as my voicemail notification. The voicemail shows up in my notifications as an e-mail, then I can download the voicemail :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I am going to re-do the Wipe-All zips. I tried updating them, and they got borked along the way.

Glad you have data :) I love this rom, and the nice thing is that if you want it to look more like CM9 or other ICS roms, download Options Chooser and flash that. it gives you options for a ton of stuff (including 6 other launchers) :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
whooo thanks I love it too so far. I think I will flash options chooser just to see what goodies are in there. Just flash it right, nothing special? Wow, it's so fast and pretty. You have done a wonderful job
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Just flash it...it's really nice...touch screen with menus for options

Thank you. I've been working on this rom for 4 months now, so I've got a really good process for putting my builds together. Makes for good, consistent results :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] SquaDrive:
There is no DSP??
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Deb, glad you got it running. You'll like MIUI, th3bill has done a real nice job. I'd prolly stay with MIUI if I wasn't such a flashaholic!

sent from my CM7 MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's in there. Need to go into system, then Sound. Under Music Effects, you'lll find DSP as an option along with MusicFX.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SquaDrive:
There is no music effect..x-x

I choose srs in option chooser.. do that have any effect??

I choose google music apps and cm9 media profile..
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Thankee!! Me too, I am so loving this rom. Say anyone ever find a fix for the voicemail icon ( I mean a perm one that is) I clear phone data and it goes away for a bit as we all know. Anyway, cant wait to see what comes next from our awesome dev here!
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
i changed the lockscreen and its good now thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
Thanks for your work on MIUI, I'm really loving it!

I am having a bit of trouble though. After flashing apps from Option Chooser I've decided that I didn't want to keep some of the apps. I don't know how to remove them.

Also, is there a way to change the output resolution of the phone via HDMI?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
To delete the apps, you just use a root-access file manager like Root Explorer, navigate to /system/app and delete the apk for the app, then reboot :)

Not sure on the HDMI....not something i really use :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
Thanks, I should have thought of that!

It's fine, thank you for responding!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Awesome! Glad I could help!
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Ok a few questions :-

1. The "MIUI.us.Sunfire_v4_2.6.15_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_TMT.zip" is the standard flash or Aroma options chooser rom now?

2. Last time I tried flashed the 2.6.8 ROM's both standard flash and Aroma options chooser, I was unable to see my internal memory once the OS was loading. And I don't use an external SD card since I have never felt the need for one. Is the internal storage card working in 2.6.15 now?

3. In the dialer in 2.6.8 I was unable to access some of ##DATA#, *#*#INFO#*#* codes. Is that fixed? If not, how do I make it work?

Option #2 is the most important for me. Someone on the thread had posted that if I choose Aroma options chooser ROM I will get the last page for choosing emmc or ext storage, that never came in 2.6.8 :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1) that is standard. The aroma has aroma in the name

2) seeing as most people use an external SD card, and miui has it so apps only see one storage, I put SD as primary. If you flash options Chooser there ALWAYS has been an option for "use internal storage as primary". Select that one and you'll see your emmc in apps.

3) that code just worked fine for me just 20 seconds ago when I tried it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
1. Might sound like a noob question, but where is the Aroma Chooser ROM located here -->

? Or can you share the link where the 2.6.15 Chooser ROM is located

2. Will try 2.6.15 to see if I can see the option to choose Internal Memory.

3. There was another ## code that I wanted to run, will post up if I can find it.

Extra Questions:-

1. Is there any way in the standard install to change from ext SD card to internal storage?

2. Can't either stardard/Aroma chooser ROM's read from both EMMC/Ext SD Card?

3. Does this ROM support USB Host/OTG?

Sorry, I know too many questions!!:o
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I couldn't put the link to that in the OP...it's not an official portion of MIUI.us (Options Chooser). We have been having server issues at Jokersax.com, which is where it had been hosted. For now, it is on my PERSONAL Goo.im account. Go to Goo.im, devs, Th3Bill, then Photon.

Extra questions:

1) No....since most people use an SD Card, I build it that way.

2) No offense, but you really need to read the thread before posting questions like this. In port 503, I CLEARLY stated that I am working on modding the kernel to allow it to boot that way.

3) I am not sure, as I don't use anything like that. Perhaps test it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] debinnv:
Also and this is just fyi. I am on the standard 2.6.8 and all I did was flash the options file after that ( this is JUST for options, it is not a rom) and the option to pick your internal sd card is there. so, if you are on 2.6.8 now you can just flash the options zip file in your recovery. Make sure when you are going through the several pages of the options that you do scroll down to the bottom of the page. I almost missed a few things not doing that at first. Hope that helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tuxytuxy:
So, I'm in India and trying to use !dea's sim card. I changed the ro.telephony.default_network=7 to 0 and went to phone info in *#*#4636#*#* and changed it to GSM only, but I still get force closed android.com.telephone. In Phone INFO, it says GSM Radio Off even when the selected network is GSM (auto PRL) or GSM Only. Any help is appreciated. I am on MIUI 2.6.8 using the Aroma installer
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
just flashed the newest build ... works amazingly :)

I did notice in both of the builds that the front camera has lost a lot of its quality ? anybody else notice that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Stuck in boot animation screen for 30+ minutes after flashing with the 2.6.15 Options chooser ROM.

Is this usual behavior? Or does the first load of the OS take this much time usually.

EDIT: I tried flashing it again, and still the same! Are some of the add-ons like the Beats audio/Bravia mods the possible cause of this? Because I am selecting most of the options like extra wallpapers, launchers. I am selected the 1.3 Kernel!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try selecting less options....let me know which ones cause the issue I don't have the ability to test all of the options with every release. I'd be flashing all week...
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Here's what I did now after 3 reflash failed attempts!

1. Ran a format for /cache, /data & /system manually because for some reason the wipe all photon.zip does not run for me, and throws some emmc error.

2. Then I flashed the standard install 2.6.15 ROM... TWICE (Since that's how it got working when I tried installing 2.6.8, and the video in the first post also says that it needs to be installed twice)

3. Loaded up the OS to check if everything is working, and then booted back into recovery.

4. Now flashed the Options 2.6.15 ROM with most of the options I had selected earlier.

Phew!!! It worked... What a relief! :)

Awesome work Th3Bill :) This is my first custom rom, been on the stock rom for 6 months now!

Still trying to understand most of the options (for eg: cant figure out how to get titanium backup to run a 'Restore' operation).

Fantastic work sir!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Are we going to be seeing the 2.6.16 update or are we going to skip that one due to the fact it didn't seem to change very much.

This is an official MIUI.us build. I do not build MIUIandroid. Two totally separate forks of MIUI translation.

Oh ok, never knew that. Very sorry.

It's ok...at one time, it was all one team...some stuff happened (I am not in the know on that), and they split. They prefer to keep work separate. It's no biggie... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
If that's true why does MIUI.us say latest release is 2.6.16 on their homepage?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What I was pointing out was that the LINK he sent was to MIUIANDROID, not MIUI.us and that I wouldn't be releasing items based on their work. I am not used to mid-week releases. Thank you for your attitude :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
No attitude I figured your the ones that's gonna know so I asked although re-reading it, it does sound rude.

i got a hyperion extended batter and i chose the extended option in aroma but i dont think its working. my phone died and when i plugged it in it said it had 25% left. and im really not getting that much extra time out of the battery like i expected.

Joxersax.com no longer has the V3 CWM on the site. Does anyone have the file that can be uploaded? I'd really like to try the ROM and it's not flashing with my current CWM.

I'll put up what i have, I believe this is it... http://www.mythrin.com/Misc/recovery.zip

Dont know if its been mentioned but Google voice integration with the dialer doesnt seem to work with this rom. It looks like it tries to play the voicemail but then just goes back to the dialer. Any fix for this?

Also is there a new fix for the phantom VM notification? the last one causes phone FC for me

Those very minor annoyances aside this rom is pretty kick ass!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Phantom VM thing is a MOTO/ICS thing...most of the fixes only worked for a short period of time if at all.

Need a log of the Google Voice thing. Start alogcat, then try to read the voicemail and then save the log and get it to me :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Is there any specific situation in that I should setup before opening the dialer? Such as having a voicemail that is unread on Google Voice that was from a missed call in the call log?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cesar424:
Did it twice. Hope i did it right, here are the logs....

[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
1. Is there anyway to disable the phone from vibrating when receiving message in the middle of a call? It is slightly annoying, something on the lines of a short soft non intrusive beep like in the stock ROM?

2. I still don't have any apps installed, except Foursquare, Advanced Task Killer, Battery widget, etc. Phone went crazy hot some 10 hours ago, the battery widget showed some 42 degrees temperature! Any idea at all why this could have happened. I had switched off data and was using my home wi-fi and also there weren't any download running. I was just charging the phone!

3. I installed Titanium backup from the options chooser, but then I am unable to run a restore. So I tried installing back the version of Titanium backup I have and it gives me " An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed"... And there is no way to remove Titanium backup. Any ideas ?

4. When the screen is locked, and we receive a message is there any way to not see the message before unlocking the screen?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1) I think there is in the sound menus

2) If you are using an incompatible charger, the phone may heat up while charging. Recommend using wall plug to powered USB with the data cable

3) Did you delete the apk from options chooser first? If not, then you need to do that. If you did, unfortunately, may need to reinstall.

4) I believe that is in the messaging app settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
1. The sound menu has the options 'Vibrate in Normal'. That keeps the vibration mode on for all notifications. I was talking about specifically switching off the vibration when a message is received in the middle of a call.

2. Surprisingly, never happened before. Have been using the same charger before flashing to this ROM. Do you recommend anything else?

3. Sigh! Reinstall is the way for me then! :(

4. Thanks found it! :)

New issue found

- Whenever I try to boot the phone into BP Tools mode, none of the applications i.e. QPST/NV Reader-Writer is able to detect the phone!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1) May be something that there isn't an option for :(

2) I've only noticed this once, and it was when I was using an improper(higher) mAh charger and had GPS turned on. I have a great 3 outlet, 2 powered usb wall plug that I got on Amazon for like $10, and it charges phone quick with no overheat.

3) Sorry about that :(

4) Glad you found it :)

On the new issue, I'm not sure what those are. If you can give me a little more info, I may be able to help....

I am trying to put the phone into Diag mode i.e. switch on USB debugging mode, then power down the phone and power up keeping the Vol Down key pressed... Here I am choosing BP Tools so I can do the NAM programming for my phone using QPST. Its just not detecting the phone when I do this!

Could someone tell me if I wanted to install 2.6.15 ( I have 2.6.8 right now) Would I just flash right on top of the 2.6.8 ? Do I need to wipe anything at all? TIA guys.

I figured since I was finally able ( with help ) to get 2.6.8 going well, I would be brave and try 2.6.15 :)

Need to wipe data, so you will have to back it up. The Backup app under tools can do that, and is integrated into MIUI :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You can flash either the standard or aromabase (they are very similar overall) and if you like, you can flash the options chooser over it...just contains additional apps and mods :)

Yes sir very much on MiUi 2.6.15! I tried using an app that needs root access and it failed, so I installed Root Checker from the market and it says I dont have root access.

This is really weird. I tried the rooting methods after that but none are working now.

Rocky gaaru, I am on MiUi. Had root access before I flashed, its need for unlocking. Had used Shabby's AIO root earlier to root!

Thanks, will give gopro SMS a shot. Since its really funny now, other people on the other side of the line can also hear the phone vibrate :D
