compared to earlier? You mean on ICS?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Just installed and my remove able sdcard is now my main storage.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Yes, back in the 'options chooser' ICS days, if we chose the 1.4 Kernel there would be loads of issues and 1.3 was much more stable.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That was because the Options Chooser kernel wasn't really made for that build...this one is :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Something I've noticed is that the phone will go black if I get to close to the proximity sensor at times. And when running a sensor testing app if just shows far all the time. It does however work fine during calls.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Th3Bill, I usually used Quadrant to run checks to see what is improvement or fall in numbers post flashing a new ROM.

Now since Quadrant is not available, I use another equally good benchmarking tool called Antutu. Between MiUi 2.8.24, 2.8.31 & 2.8.31 Aroma .. I have noticed a steady drop in the overall numbers. I know these are just numbers and there isn't much of a change in the 'real world' feel of these ROMS. Still do you feel any specific reason that could be the cause of this?

I can provide the historical score data if you'd like.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Part of it is that with some of the new code being developed, our lack of proprietary libs is made more apparent on the testing apps...

I go based on real world
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Wooooot just happened :D:D

All I did was wipe battery stats before flash :what:

Edit: Why camera is only 5mp now?

Hey is this from the ROM or a 3rd party app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Did you mean the screenshot or something else?

The screenshot is from the ROM itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I meant the battery history screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
The reason I am using cm7 instead of JB would be that broken battery life. I kinda need a phone that will live for more than 10 mminutes of actual use
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
That's a standard android feature, mine looks a wee bit different because of the theme I'm using. Else its still the same thing which available under Settings > Battery > Battery Usage

JB MiUi usually lasts about 10 hours with moderate use of the phone, CNA ROM lasted a little longer. But for others on the forum it lasts a lot more. So you can definitely give the CM10 based roms a shot :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Ok I admit, I don't know what these lines do, and it's pretty likely only one of them is actually helping... BUT

by adding these lines to build.prop

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

persist.sys.shutdown.mode=hibernate

ro.config.hw_power_saving=1

I'm getting a lot closer to 2 days off a full charge rather than 10 hours, and I have yet to notice any negative side effects. Antutu scores still around ~6000.

[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Where do I add this? I'm using Rom Toolbox, build.prop editor - first time doing this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Also, I am getting random hotboots - first time I was unplugging the USB cable, second time I was playing with settings in live wallpaper. Should I send a log cat or do a full wipe?

I am on 2.8.31, came from 8.24. Loaded ROM via instructions @ jokersax - show log, reboot recovery, etc

Thnx
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Anyone here using whatsapp?

Whenever I try to selected an modify the notifications settings within the app I am directed to the theme chooser instead. Any idea why?

This version is working great for me, don't seem to be experiencing any issues. Maybe you guys should try a full wipe? I do a full wipe between each update and never really have problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
I'm not sure if it matters where it goes but just to be safe put it at the very end.

When I hang up a call on my Bluetooth the music starts playing does anyone know how to stop that
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What music? Were you listening to music before that? If so, maybe close the app when you're not using...?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
This has happened to me on every rom, including stock...photon bluetooth is terrible

its the stock music app that starts randomly playing, even happens to me after using subsonic music streamer, I just deal with it

Do we need to wipe cache or anything after putting this in?

Does anyone know how to remove custom carrier label and/or get a single signal bar? Really hate the clutter on my status bar. Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
I didn't even know I had music on my phone the first time it happened. I'm going to to use Titanium Backup to freeze the stock app and see if that works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
I'm still on Jokersax CM10 ... no problem with changing settings on WhatsApp! I'll check when going back to MIUI.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Urgent help needed!

I'm stuck during flashing! Came from 2.8.20 Aroma. Did Error - Log - Recovery.

Note: I'm in the US, running English by default.

During flash I selected English, accepted the license, then got an error message stating that English was going to be installed (don't quite remember the exact text), now I'm stuck at the Changelog screen ... it's not reacting to Back or Next buttons!

Any advice how to get out of this problem in the middle of flashing a ROM??

Thanks!

BTW: please advice on which of the three wipe options to use
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's not an issue....the installer is designed to be multi-language, but since I have no translations for the options, I had it show that so that people understood the rest of the flashing procedure wouldn't be in a different language.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Ok, but now the installer is stuck at the Changelog, Back and Next buttons not working. Can I still pull the battery without bricking the phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah....that will be fine...I've done it a few times...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
For some reason sometimes when I go back and forth in the different settings pages it'll freeze and i just pull the battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Thanks! Work just fine!

I'm still having trouble with the SDcards. While on 2.8.20 (ICS-MIUI) all looks good, internal is called EMMC, external SDc is called SDCard. As soon as I install 2.8.31 it's all messed up, the two locations being called SDCard0 and SDCard1. I have tried selection both as primary, with the same messy results.

Shiuld I use the bottom of the three wipe options during flashing?

Any help would be appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The storages are now listed as SDCard0 and SDCard1. That's standard JB format.

EMMC and SDCard are a thing of the past at least at the moment
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I did it. I have 2 versions now. One is based in Aroma installer and has options...the other is a standard CWM flash ZIP.

I have also fixed themes applying....wasn't working in previous version.

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Is this a re upload? More options?
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Th3Bill: Would it be difficult to have options to switch between CDMA & GSM on the fly like in the stock ROM? Is it possible to consider this to be integrated sometime in the future?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Seeing as it uses a different ril library file, it wouldn't really be possibly without having the source for this rom (which we don't), not to mention I'm not sure how that would be done to add a menu setting for that switch...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
Call Recording,Face lock

Hi Th3Bill , You are making my day , I found on your ROM allot of possibility which I don’t find some ware ells for example:

1- Call recording in this Rom, it record very well but we cannot play it, can you tell as how can we play it or any appl can play it or fix it.

2- The Arabic and Persian text read and write is perfect.

3- The face lock in screen lock choices is a good appl, but it does not work, can you pls look at it.

Some issues I have: gets very hot, restarts by itself, screen gets Parkinson.

Other than that, this Rom a very good one. Thank to you
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Anyone have Google Now working? How to set up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Mine worked by default.. I set my menu button long press to open it. There's an app icon that just says Google should open it or the new search bar will too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Thanks. I can't find a Google app, when I go to search, all I get is the normal old Google Search app, no Google Now.

Not sure if related, but when I arrived at home I realized that WIFI does not turn on when selected. It seems it wants to but it does not turn on. When I upgraded today I used the smallest Wipe option during setup to 2.8.31. Should I wipe system instead to get Wifi going? Or install with wiping Dalvik again?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.9.7 is built and testing on my phone....so far, so good. This version will have a few extra options that the last ones didn't. Hopefully, it will be an improvement. I will warn that the file is rather large at 270MB, but it's got some nice stuff in it, so it really is worth it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.9.7 AROMA is UP on Jokersax.com

Standard Flash will come tonight sometime :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Standard Flash Version of 2.9.7 is up on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Phone's running a bit warmer than usual after I flashed this update. I chose the 1.4 Kernel and the Tweaked CDMA prop.

Could either of the above two options be the cause?

PS: Just ran an Antutu Benchmark, numbers have never been this awesome until now. SUPER DUPER AWESOME work Th3Bill!

Edit: Q4 is just a month away, I hope Motorola sticks to their words :D https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c. Th3Bill, once the official release of ICS comes out, can we expect the graphics bit to become stable ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
It mostly depends if sprint will stick to their word... plus Q4 only begins in a month and ends in 2 more months after that, meaning they can release it anywhere in that timeframe :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] 232603:
support chinese?

CMDA?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Still working on translations. Anyone know a way to add these folders and get it to recompile without errors? I've been trying for almost a week now with no success...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
So I installed the 2.5.25 Aroma Installer with Gapps etc but when I booted the wrong two things were strangely different. GMail's widget won't actually load, also my WiFi DNS is not working correctly.

The reason I believe it is the WiFi's DNS that is malfunctioning is because I can connect to my router and get to my router's configuration page (192.168.1.1) but I can not access any other site on the internet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which kernel did you use? I haven't been having any wifi issues with the standard kernel since I installed this build Friday morning...

I've noticed the same with GMail widget...I'll have to look into it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
I installed the aroma version and cdma tweaked and my speed are a lot faster but just out of curiosity does it make sense that I get faster speeds when I overclock to 1400 ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Do you go faster in your car when you push the gas and make the engine RPM increase? LOL

Yes, it does make sense to me. System is running faster, so it theoretically processes info faster :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well guys, it looks like I'm not going to be able to get this to be multi-language. I've tried everything I can think of (including a number of tools). I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to get it done, and in the end, I'm unfortunately the only option is to individually translate every app to each language individually. I apologize that I won't be able to do that. I just don't have enough time in the day to translate all 40 apks and 2 frameworks to a dozen languages every week for this build. That alone would be nearly a full-time job :(

I hate admitting defeat, but unfortunately, I've robbed this ROM of a LOT of time I could have been using to make it better to attempt this, and ultimately, it's gone nowhere. If anyone DOES know how to add in language folders and would like to help me with this, I am sure that there are a number of people who would be eternally grateful to you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
How does one go about making these edits? I'm trying to use my Photon on T-Mobile US and the Aroma gsm options still show only CDMA networks and apns. I'm on 2.5.25 Aroma Install.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm not really sure how you're going to manage that...

Could try *#*#4636#*#*, select Phone options and change the CDMA auto prl to GSM only
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
Thanks to halfevildruid, I followed instructions HERE for installing a radio to allow domestic gsm use.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah...just remember it also says that if you do want to go back to CDMA, you have to sbf.

Goot to know if you're taking this off to another provider, though
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
What am I doing wrong - even though i tap gsm in the installer, it still only shows cdma networks and ussc.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
need to go into *#*#4636#*#*, to Phone info, then choose GSM auto or GSm only

HAve been using MIUI for a while and this version since yesterday,, Until day all te same as stable, but have the same bugs as the prevous version.

I´m using GSM version.

Chrome doesn´t work, it close constantly, but shows the error message when promt if wantts to wait or close it.

The stock browser, sometimes closes without give any advice, no FC, no error, nothing , just close it. Same happens to me with Opera.

Dolphin browser and Firefox works just fine !

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If they do, then hell yes. Joker and I (as well as EPinter on the Atrix thread) are eagerly awaiting Moto being nice to us. Once we get it, it may take a little bit to figure out how they all fit, but we should have a MUCH more stable rom once we DO. :)

And yes, you are very right on this....it's an IF and a date range. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would, but I am going to be toying around with CNA today, so I doubt I'll have much time on MIUI battery.

Still we have browser rotation issue ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Phone is dead. I did everything in order.

Installed the latest Joker CM.

Rebooted.

Installed ROM and chose full wipe. Installed a few apps and rebooted.

Phone shows a new MI screen then goes to "Unlocked" Motorola screen while phone heats up.

I pulled the battery to let the phone cool off but now what?

Okay finally gave in and tried restarting the device and it works. BUT. Whenever I reboot (mode does not matter) the phone locks up on the Unlocked screen and overheats. I have to pull the battery, wait a few minutes to cool off, replace battery and restart the device. Needless to say pretty annoying. The other thing is lag and jitter. I installed Apex Launcher from the Store but I had the same issue with the Nova Launcher where the screen transitions would lag and scrolling in the app drawer was jittery.

Add: WiFi looses it memory.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
I am having issues with bluetooth. Anyone else? I'm running 2.9.7 AROMA and it won't turn on. Neglected to point it out, but I had the same problem with the previous port too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Me too. Bluetooth screen comically shows "Turning Bluetooth on" which forces me to reboot which means the phone overheats which means I have to pull the battery, blah blah blah.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
I don't want to know from someone who specializes in battery saving.

Let's go in terms of a teenager who is always on xda or testing. Trying out apparently and on youtube
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Most likely a hardware failure on your devices, guys. I just tested bluetooth on my Phone, which is running this rom. Turned it on, connected to my BT headset, turned it off, then back on (it reconnected), then back off...worked great

I'll need you to try to pull logcats. i can't fix things that I can't get my phone to reproduce.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I got from 8am to 6pm today without using any sort of battery saving measures, and using my phone for half the day as a music player...along with almost 90 mins of talk time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Hmm. 10 hours. So basically has the jb battery life gotten any better lately? When the first Jb. Rome came out. I couldn't charge my phone as fast as it would die
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Lmmfao Parkinson? Really ? That's hilarious I've never thought of describing it like that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
How do I pull logcats?

And is no one else experiencing jittery screen transitions and scrolling?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I'm pretty sure everyone is experiencing the jittering, at least I assumed so.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Alright.... howz this then .. :D

Is it just me or is the stuttering between screens just increasing with time ? :(

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's across the board. I included Xperia launcher in the Aroma version of this build....it has almost no jitter, and Xperia uses a bit less resources than MIUIHome
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
@Th3Bill : which of your JB builds has the least amount of stutter? I moved from CNA to MiUi a few days back because the jittery screens were getting to me. Now MiUi has also become as jittery as CNA was about 2 weeks back :(

Or is there something paranormal happening with my phone here the more time I spend on one ROM it starts becoming more jittery... LOL :D

Tapatalk2'd from JellyMoPhoBean
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's the lib issue....need to use the HWA settings on the apps that stutter.

I would say that any build will be similar...use the Xperia Launcher if you really want less stutter...
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
th3Bill you do great work and I appreciate you taking personal time to put these things together, all with the understanding we are all basically practicing at our own risk. With that mentioned...

Waaaay buggy. Bluetooth randomly failed - not a hardware issue as it was working fine before I installed this ROM and for the past hour Bluetooth seems very stable again. About 2 hours ago I did spend about 45 minutes watching this phone reboot 7 or 8 times. Each time it got stuck at the Unlocked screen. Frustrated with pulling the battery only to watch it tease me with the home screen only to bounce back to the Unlock screen I rebooted into recovery. Fortunately I had an old build on the SD card, I think 2.73 and wiped everything and installed that version without incident.

Okay so I'm done with the newer stuff as 2.97 was way too frustrating with random bluetooth failures and reboots, jittery screen transitions and dropping WIFI connections and credentials - I've never had a phone so unstable. So Is there a build after 2.73, which I am using now, and 2.97 that is confirmed stable?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I don't maintain the builds once they have passed, so there are no links to go to. I ran this build for a full day using everything from music to bluetooth, wifi, camera, mms, sms, browser. I had no such issues. Are you restoring things from Titanium? Keep in mind that just because something is JB compatible doesn't mean it is MIUI compatible 100%. I ask if you are, as I don't have 99% of the issues others seem to report and the only difference I do is not use Titanium. I flash EVERY (yes....EVERY) optional add-on the rom has and run it for at least 6-8 hours...many times more.

Can I ask a question....you post "bugs" and want me to fix them...where are the LOGS? I have put up a very specific and step by step how to of how to pull a logcat from a phone.

I am not going to sit around trying to recreate every bug someone reports. I don't have time in the day to do that...as it would take 24/7 to do this. It's not that I don't care...its that I can't fix what I can't recreate, and frankly I have a job and a family that require my time as well. This is a development forum...not complaint dept. I'm not asking anyone to create a fix, but come on...help me out at least some. I'm not trying to be a ****, but honestly guys...I'm helping with 6 JB builds on this phone (as Joker's taking care of his personal life at the moment), 5 on the Atrix, and 3 on the Infuse...and now someone on the SGS Skyrocket wants me to help with a port of CNA....I'm not a magician... :D
