Been using 2.6.22 + 1.3 Kernel for 2 days now. Issues I noticed :-

1. Instagram, CameraZoomFX, FastBurstLite - These are camera apps and they don't function properly. There is a pretty large lag between the image shown on the screen and direction in which the lens is pointing. Instagram actually failed to load camera!

2. Foursquare Apps - I have tried using the official Foursquare app and few other apps which use Foursquare services like Banjo, Checkin King, Checkin Ninja and a few more. All refused to get onto Foursquare services. I could login to foursquare but thats it, nothing more happened.

3. Post the flash to MiUi I can't get the phone to go into Diag Mode via the BP Tools method. Also the ##3282# does *not* work so I cannot go into EPST and put it into Diag mode.

4. MX Player - I use this app to play my videos, and its no longer using H/W acceleration, instead its using S/W acceleration. Thus a bit of slow performance while playing back videos!

5. Is there any way to arrange the app icons? I have uninstalled a few apps and now there are gaps in some of the pages. I know I can manually drag each one, but is there any other way?

6. Google Talk refuses to sign in!

7. Well this is not an issue exactly, but long pressing the 'Home' key brings up some list of apps. Is this like a task manager of sorts?
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Until there's a fix just go into developer options and turn fc dialogue off and instead knowing it crashed it just goes away
[Motorola Photon 4G] wannafly:
The Google Contact Sync seems broken in version 2.6.22?

The contact group could be synced successfully, but no matter what I tried, there is always 0 contact in the contact app.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
One of the MIUI.us devs had done some optimisations for the Updater in 2.6.15, then MIUI China changed the apk, and it borked his changes. It's an annoyance, but really does not affect anything in the system.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Was this installation an upgrade from another version? Did you come from another rom? I need some form of info as to what you are doing, where you are coming from, as it will help me help you. Maybe try going into the system settings, into the Apps section and try clearing data for Contacts, then rebooting.

Come on, guys...do you really think that I would release something on a phone I OWN without first testing that the actual heart of the device (Phone, MMS, Contacts) work? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Tried Camerazoom Fx. Had a slight lag....but not a large one. Camera lag is a function of not having right libs. Let me ask you...did you have more than one camera app open at once? That can cause issues..

I'll look into this one...right now, I'm a building with some extreme shielding, so I can't get a GPS lock. I don't use this app, but will try to check it out.

I don't know how to enable it for you.

Have you checked the Developers options in the System settings? In there, there is an option to force hardware acceleration in apps.

No. You must move the icons

Not sure why not for you. It's working 100% here. I have spent the last 2 days talking with Jokersax11 and Lokifish on it.

Yes...that is what it is. This may help with the camera lag...go here and make sure that none of the other camera apps are open when you are trying to connect with another camera app. If you experience lag that is really bad, go into here and swipe away the app, reopen it, go back and swipe it again...for some reason, that really seems to help.

Ok guys...it's great to post a list of issues, but understand one thing...I am ONE GUY working on this...along with 2 other MIUI builds. I have a career, 3 children, and a wife. I have a life outside of Android.

Yes, I own this device, but be realistic. I'm not going to turn my phone into an app testing dummy and flash every app under the sun to see if it works. I need you guys to help me out with this. Please...before just posting something doesn't work, try to get a logcat of it. If you don't know how to do it, do a search around XDA...there are no less than a dozen threads explaining how to. (PLEASE...when doing logcat, make sure that you're not running 20 other apps at the same time as the one you're having issues with...it just makes it impossible to figure out which process is borking). Getting me a logcat will give me a better idea of what is going on with your phone and how it may be caused/fixed. This isn't hand-holding. I'm trying to build this thing and make it better, but you gotta try to figure out some fixes on your own...not just rely on me 1000% for every "fix".
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Th3Bill, IMHO I think its unfair of any of us to expect answers/solutions/workarounds right away.

Speaking entirely for myself here, I post issues not with expectation that *you* will have an answer for *all* questions *immediately*. Its also so that there are other users using this ROM can help post in if they feel they can provide inputs! Also I have been posting issues just in some one else has an issue with ROM can look up and answer. Apologies if queries being posted are coming across in any other way, and if that is the case I shall restrain from posting any further issues!

1. I tried as you said, killed any of the running apps which use the camera and there is still a lag. I can put up a video for you if you want.

2. I provided logcat with "Foursquare" bit only filtered over a PM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I am still coming up to full speed with the newer lib setup, so there are some growing pains...some apps that worked before may not. Rest assured, I am working on it.

I'm not saying to not post. It's good to post, and I appreciate it. I am just asking that we have extra info that helps me (in the form of logcats :) sorry I had missed the one you sent me). I can't reproduce every error, as if I try to do that, I have no time for debugging. I have to be able to balance.

I also am still learning a LOT of this. If you look at my join date, I was total Noobage on that day, so I've learned a lot, but still don't know all of these things. The BP thing, I am totally clueless...sorry to sound dumb. Not sure if you can look around and see if you find anything and let me know?

Question...are you using stock kernel or the 1.4 one? I know it has been known to cause problems....may be your foursquare issue if it's borking GPS. I wasn't getting any app errors with it...but I couldn't get a GPS fix at work (TONS of electronics around me)

I am in the process of trying to put together a couple of options for kernel. It may sound counter-intuitive, but I think that I recall someone posting in the Cm9 thread back a while ago that if you underclock the ROM, it helped camera...not sure why that would. May be worth a try.

I apologize if I came across rude...coffee hadn't kicked in yet, and I've been under a bit of stress lately...had some strange interactions on here (won't get into it....lol) which just is frustrating me very much. It was not right of me to get upset with you.

On the foursquare PM thing...I get a ridiculous number of PMs on some days, and get a bit behind on it. I'm looking at it right now.

:)

EDIT: Can you send me a raw logcat with just foursquare running? I'm having a tough time figuring out what process is causing it to error and crash in the log you sent me...I need a log from when you first start the app :)

EDIT #2: Not sure what just caused it, but I just noticed that while I was on my work wifi(doesn't happen at home) Talk wouldn't log in...soon as I went back to network, it worked perfectly
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Camera is laggy on all ICS ROMs. It's the 2d lib issues causing it. Overclocking is the only option to make it lag "less"
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hate the "Updater has stopped working" fc?

HERE YOU GO!
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
That's a Google thing. Press menu then settings then only show contacts with phone numbers. And also make sure to go to your accounts and sync and make sure its set to sync sometimes it isn't that's also a Google thing. Lastly miui takes time to connect all the way to the network sometimes, which I learned yesterday, so it may not have finished yet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Sometimes need to go in and manually check for it to sync contacts...just thought of that one. Not sure why it doesn't auto 100% of time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
Hi all. Thanks for the the time and effort on this excellent ROM. That said, i have a lot of questions. I'm running MIUI 2.6.1 Aroma right now and it's smooth as silk except for the fact that bluetooth will not turn on unless connected to 'puter or wall charge. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a fix?

Next thing, I am itching to install 2.6.22. The installation process got a bit confusing since 2.6.9 so I need some clarification. Do I still need to install standard before aroma? Do I still need to do the send log process?

Are these steps correct?:

1. flash 2.6.22 Aroma

2. flash options chooser

3. flash themes chooser

4. flash SU fix

5. flash update fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You are 100% correct my friend. I will be re-doing the Themes Chooser tonight....not sure if you wanted to wait on it....
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
I'm baaaaaack!

Okay gallery is FC'ing

I click on a picture from anywhere, email, SD...

"Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped." and I get the two buttons - Report or Ok.

Should I use a 3rd party gallery app?

Jeesh. Tried sending from my phone and then the browser FC'd. Did I post enough info?

Maybe it's my phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm going to check it out. Browser issue I am aware of and am working on it...I had a fix, but it borked other things, so I need to find a happy medium :)

Edit: Can you get me what happened right before this logcat? I need the lines right before this part. It tells me where the error is. All of these lines are resultant errors because of the fault above it. I am thinking it might be something in the install you have. Didn't happen to use OLD Options chooser over 2.6.22 did you? I know Gallery changed, so that could cause it....not accusing...just asking :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
I've had no problems with Bluetooth on any of the MIUI builds, just so you know. It works fantastic for me.

Mr bill so how do I get this battery mod to work correctly because I've been sitting on 1% for 3 hours
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Bill no problemo man! :) Things do get crazy at times!

Apologies if I ever came across as demanding an answer rightaway :)

Still googling around for solutions. If ##DATA# code could work in the dialer then maybe I could make the phone go into Diag mode. Does this code work in your dialer?

I selected the 1.3 Kernel. The foursquare app just refuses to load. Tried clearing data, uninstalling it nothing worked.

Thanks, that worked. I had set it to 1Ghz since I need the battery to last, but pushing it to 1.3Ghz fixed the camera issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
OK....MAJOR FIX UPCOMING!

Will drop in about 15 minutes. MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS...IF YOU DON'T, DO NOT CRY TO ME...LOL

1) Install a 3rd party launcher from the market and set it to default

2) Download the fix to your phone

3) Flash the fix

4) Reboot

5) Go into System Settings to Apps

6) Go to MIUIHome and Force Stop, then Clear Data

7) You may then go back to using MIUIHome and remove the 3rd party launcher if you like

The fix is to repair: Camera lags, Foursquare (and sim apps), as well as the browser/Gmail txt selection bug

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Please dumb down the extended battery how to for me lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
FIX

Remember....follow the post above!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Seems to work for some batteries, but not for others. Not sure exactly why. Best bet is to flash the phone, clear battery stats, charge it overnight, then unplug and use it

I'm looking for a rom thingy called My You Eye and can't find links. could somebody post them. :confused:

Just wanted to say that my pop enjoys this rom very much and won't even let my mom touch the phone. It's kinda funny to here to old folks fight over a phone!

(hey Th3Bill so when do I get that $20 you promised)

[Motorola Photon 4G] wannafly:
I did a clean install.

the contact sync works well in cm7 and cm9 builds in the forum.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

I am sure that I did not choose "only show contacts with phone numbers".

The weird thing is that I can not see my "old" contacts in gmail contacts, but when I add new contact in gmail or phone, the sync is OK in both directions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try clearing data on Contacts, then re-synding them
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
about to upgrade to .22 should i wipe anything going from .15?

Does anyone else find that the battery life is really bad on the phone? my phone lasts about 6 hours with medium use. Even during the night when i am asleep and if left uncharged the battery goes down quiet fast =/
[Motorola Photon 4G] dianoga7:
I see that pretty regularly after flashing. Usually it fixes itself after a full charge.

From my sink to yours!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
Ya I hope so . Just finished flashing .22 and after a full charge.. about 40 min later I am down to 80% =\ .

Also what browser do you guys use ? I use dolphin cause I can set it to portrait permanent mode so it won't exit when I go into landscape . The problem that I have is that sometimes it crashes anyways lol so just interested what others use . I tried the default browser and chrome but none of them have a mode where I can set the browser to be in portrait only .

Thank you for the help guys !
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
I changed the OC Kernel speed down to 1000 rather than 1300. The battery is lasting much longer now.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That is truly odd...I'm on talk pretty much all day, so I'm a bit confused by that one. Is this on network connection or wifi?
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
I have tried on network and wifi...both have the same results. I use another app now for gtalk services. That works perfectly OK. Could it be that possibly the gtalk app on my phone is corrupted?

I vaguely remember this "voicemail integration" like 3 or 4 updates ago.

Any progress on this? I thought it was pretty cool to integrate voicemail into the dialer but haven't seen it since.

same thing here after the firefox update yesterday, mine freezes right away also.
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Firefox has never worked well for me, but the beta was my go to browser until recently. It force closes and won't load any pages. I wonder if I could find an old version and not update it.

Possible. Try deleting the apk and download from market

I'm not sure exactly what is being asked for here. I personally do not use any VM app, as they all seemed borky at one point or another. I set up Google voice to email me the audio file of the vm
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
I have the latest MIUI on my Photon. It's working great. There are a few quirks here and there, but it is a great ROM. Question? Has anyone using this ROM with a Photon had any success with the beatsaudio mods? Every version I have tried doesn't work. I either get stuck in the boot loop or get the music fc. Looking for success stories!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cesar424:
In the Google Voice app there is an option for phone integration, which displays voice-mails and allows you to listen from within the dialer call log. When enabling this and going to a VM in the call log, it just closes out.

This is from the log that I posted previously, I think this part is related to the crash but I dont know much of this stuff so probally wrong lol.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.6.29 is built and running on my phone. Just a couple tweaks and I'll release.

Btw...its built on 0.7.0 cm9 by joker

Does that mean better functionality or anything of the sort? Any difference were gonna be able to see?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.6.29 is UP!

Will be up on my personal Goo account in about 20 minutes

Cheers!

FYI....this it the STANDARD flash one. Aroma one will be out later today sometime. I'm about to head out with my kids and enjoy them, so I cannot give a timeframe

​
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Thanks! I'll flash it and report back when I get a chance.

Edit: I didn't have any luck with fresh installing this. Every time I did, I would get no service and Messaging would FC. I flashed it over my backup of 2.6.22 and it works much better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Don't wipe data. I am on it right now on a fresh install of it. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hold on downloading guys....I have to update some stuff....Toolbox has been updated... :)

I'll let you know when we are up and ready
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
ROMS are taken DOWN for now. I borked something in the build. I need to start from square one again. Sorry guys
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Pardon my density, but how do you do a fresh install if you don't wipe data? I just used the wipe all zip.

The toolbox wasn't working but I assumed you knew that. I tried using your past guide to edit eri.xml and remove "MIUI MoPho" but then it just said No Service up top, even though I did actually have service. It was my first attempt decompiling and recompiling APK's so it was a good learning experience.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
No need to decompile/recompile. Download this file https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4884480/eri.xml eri.xml and put it in your /data directory of the phone. To edit the eri use root explorer or something. Change the us cellular text in it to your liking. Then reboot or put it airplane mode then out of it and your good to go with a personalized eri text.
