Cm9 and MIUI File managers are not ROOT file managers, so they won't do the trick there/

Not sure about your wifi issue....I have said it before...the only kernel I can say 100% works with wifi is Standard one. I am on wifi right now with the stock one, so I know it works

As far as the Aroma installer of Options Chooser...do you think I don't test these things? I have tested it...in fact, I personally flash each rom 3-4 times to test whether they work. I actually have the SRS mod on my phone right now...LOL What you want to do is tap near the little dot that lights up when you select an item. I have noticed that on occasion, the installer will go to next screen, but mine has never frozen. What you can do is before flashing, hit the search button and select "Configuration". You then will be asked to tap a series of dots (yes, you will most likely have to tap them a few times to get them to work fully right). Once you're done, you can apply that touch config to the rom installer and go from there.

What version of CWM are you using? If you're using anything other than Joker V3, then that may be your issue. I have stated in the OP and multiple other times that I recommend using only Joker's CWM for this, as that is what I used to get the touch configuration settings for this rom.

You also didn't identify which type of wipe you used for your flash...if you're coming from ANY other ROM, you need to do a full wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jpborjav:
I know you test otherwise you wont upload them, i thought maybe you miss that. I did full wipe, always do full wipe and i have jokersv3.

I have a request, i hope it is not that difficult or maybe you already have it. I want separate mods that will work on standard version, like SRS/gmst/etc.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The only difference between Aromabase and standard is that at this moment right now, Standard is not up to the latest CM9 base (6.9.3), and that instead of having all the apps added into the ROM itself, they are options. You can flash the Options Chooser over the top of Standard without any issue....
[Motorola Photon 4G] jpborjav:
Okay thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
In regards to the Wifi. It happens to me when moving from Cm9 to Miui. You select <ON> and it just turns back off. Wipe, reboot. Done. If that doesn't work, flash the base over again w/out wiping. Done

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Oh, @ Th3Bill: I did notice while updating I used the option to wipe all but app data and after boot up all the apps where there, but they would all FC. I had to uninstall and re install to get em working. ( I just full wiped and Titanim recovered )
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did all of them not work or just some? Also, if you can tell me which apps. I know that some worked quite well, while others fced....seemed that paid ones were biggest culprits... It's something that I am still trying to work on to make this work better. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
I am having the same problem. I switched to gosms so i can send text msg over 160 characters but notifications are not working. The only way i can get notifications is by turning miui messaging app notifications. I tried handcent also and same problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You can do one of the following (freeze the stock MMS app in Titanium), rename it MMS.apk.bak using Root Explorer or delete it altogether. For some reason the stock MMS apk on this build borks third party app MMS notifications
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
Worked perfectly :-) ! Also I read somewhere that if you turn off system mms app priority it should solve the problem . Going to try when I get home just to see .
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
If I had to guess I would say all. However Ones I can say for sure were:

Dolphin BrowserHD

Wells Fargo

Facebook

Any.do

Chrome to Phone

Titanium backup (came up with a wierd message asking if it was a legit version)

Angry Birds ;P

GTAIII

Spotify

Google Voice

That's the best I can remember, but I also use a lot of apps. I didn't check every app, as I used my phone I would try to open one and discover/fix and move on till I eventually reset the phone.

Also what happened to the split sms option in messaging? I'm forced to use Google voice for another number now so I'm back to the stock app and I realized the split character option is gone. Do you recall what build had it last so I can pull it? I also have cm9 .apk for split, but I like my Themes and I've forgot what build I pulled it from to find the corresponding MIUI .apk;P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I AM NOW COMPLYING WITH GPL REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE LINKED THE GITHUBS THAT THE BUILDERS OF THE KERNELS THAT I USE BASE THEIR KERNELS FROM. I HAVE REMOVED OLEGFUSION KERNEL SINCE IT DOES NOT HAVE GITHUB THAT I CAN LINK IN MY OP PER XDA REQUEST

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....for every build that I have made before this one on my phone right now, I had a mish-mash of libs from different releases of MIUI and CM9 to keep things from borking. I have to give some serious credit to Magiman7 and Trialsrider1...2 really great guys for what I will upload at some time later today. It's fully functional version of MIUI built with ONLY the latest libs from MIUI and CM9. Thanks to the 2 guys above for giving me the quick how-to so that I could actually DO it. I have a feeling that you guys are really going to like this build I up in a few hours :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
How exactly do I use it? I see SRS Panel installed in Titanium Backup but no actual app for it.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

What are some examples of what works better now than before?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
For SRS, it's not something that you will be able to use for regular system sounds. The ap labeled "Music" is pretty much the only one that works with it, and it will be in the area where the equalizer is. You enable it, then you can adjust it.

On the system, it just is smoother running than before.... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
I have a few issues

Ok guys, here goes. First love the ROM (duh) :D But I've had some issues I can't work out, if anyone has some suggestions.

1. First, LBE hates certain numbers I text. I was on a different ROM prior to MIUI. When I heard of LBE I thought it was cool, and installed. However, it blocked every text message from girlfriend and a few others, but not everyone. I could send her texts, and she would get them, but I would not receive hers. I finally figured out it was LBE causing the issue somehow, so I removed it, rebooted and BAM, all my texts came through. SO, that was probably a user error there.

However - now I'm on Miui, and it seems LBE(permissions manager) is integrated into the ROM. Which is fine. But on the first load, it did the same thing....I removed LBE (titanium) which was a bad idea, had to reflash the ROM. Reflashed, then set APP monitoring to OFF, rebooted, and it works fine...So not really an issue, just an occurrence I wanted to mention for overall consideration.

2. I use Juice Defender, when it shuts off all data (wifi, 3g, etc) Miui doesn't seem to understand to shut off the signal bars. LOL. Not a big deal! Just noticed, I know that my data is off, but Miui doesn't reflect it.

3. I use an app called Tablet Talk, and it hasn't worked since I've installed Miui. It's an app you install on both your tablet and phone, and it syncs texts between the two, allowing you to send messages through your phone from your tablet. I've checked/done everything I possibly can with Permission Manage/LBE, but I can't get it to work properly. I've re-installed the apps as well. When i type a message from my tablet, and hit send, it works; when I receive a message back, it doesn't send from the phone to the tablet. I can contact the developer if you guys think I need to, but I think it's something to do with Miui.

I understand if no help is available for 3, if no one else uses it.

Thanks for any assistance!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1) Not sure why you would need LBE. MIUI has these features integrated into the ROM itself. The Firewall app (which is in Tools) and Permissions Manager are baked into the rom. The reason you had to reflash is that when you removed LBE, it removed the lbesec.so lib, which is dependency for the rom (as MIUI won't boot unless the parts are all there for firewall and permissions manager).

2) I have noticed that the notification area has some borky things if you install the rom Toolbox version (not sure which version you installed, so it's tough to say. If it was the standard flash on MIUI.us, then it had Toolbox baked in).

3) I'm thinking more than likely it is something between MIUI and that app. I am in the process of better integrating the libs from CM9 into MIUI so that we can get some of the newer processes that these libs allow, so it MAY (can't guarantee) fix this for you. If not, it is quite possible that this is one of the apps that has not yet set itself up for MIUI.

This ROM is great, but it's much more different from CM9 than some of the other derivatives, as most of them used pretty much themed versions of CM9 apps...MIUI mods all the apps so they are very different (hence stock CM9 contacts, MMS, Phone apks don't work at all on MIUI). Stock CM9 stuff usually has a 50/50 chance of being functional in MIUI...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I think I speak for everyone when I say we like every build you put up and I for one am grateful you spend time bringing MIUI to our Photons.

Thank you and keep up the amazing work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm in the process of squashing a bug with GMail right now...once that's done, this thing looks GTG :)

Hey...Photon is my Phone, too! Love this thing...best Phone I've ever had
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Hell yea,

Sent from my CM9 beast
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Awesome, great info there, thanks! Again, there's nothing imperative to the overall functionality for me.

Also, real quick, is there an official fix for the voicemail notification issue? (you have 2 voicemails, never goes away) - I've read through/down some of the fixes, but they never work. That was a few weeks ago though, so I may have missed any updated threads for a solid fix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which voicemail are you using? Sprint? That one is pretty well borked with most of the CM9 based roms...I've seen the same issue...went with Google Voice...have no issues with it on that one :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
well....I'm not a fan of Google managing my phone calls...but I may look into it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Actually, you can turn off the function of that from the Google website. I actually set up the Google voice account, turn off the "auto call screen" option, and actually delete the app from my phone. I then use Gmail (as the vm comes to your Gmail acct) and just download the voicemail :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Hey I'm having issues with the TWC TV app on they market its a mobile client for my cable installation including live streams of anything I bought for my TV.

Everything works just fine, except the live TV section says it doesn't support" rooted devices" I'm guessing that its looking for su being a command or something because I already tried blocking it in Permission Manager but that didn't get it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Unfortunately, those root-proof apps are really tough. I think Google Movies or one of those is like that too. I can understand why...they don't want you modding the app to do something to their system or to copy material you shouldn;t be able to....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
New version should be up in about 30 minutes. So far, it is running extremely nice on my phone. Looking forward to letting you all get a crack at it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Link is UP at Jokersax.com :)

CHEERS!

Just an FYI....this build is NOT yet compatible with the Options-Chooser. That will be uploaded shortly :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
There's an app in the store that temporarily removes root. It'll solve your problem. Can't remember what it's called though. D'oh!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
I believe its ota root keeper. It removes root to update then replaces root. Could be used for this purpose I guess. Great idea.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
That's the one I believe! Thanks :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
no problem. Glad to be the one helping for a change. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Just finished installing after rotting on stock rom for months :D

Issues:-

- I dont have an external SD card, and I cannot see my internal memory in File Explorer. I am tried the internal storage primary mod from jokersax's website. But it doesn't work and I am unable to mount usb storage or mount /sdcard to put any newer files. Need to fix this, any ideas ? I cannot download anything from my mail coz it says no sd card present! :( ..... HELP!!!!

- The GSM fix from jokersax's website also dint work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
If you used the latest build it could be due to the fact an external SD card is set to default, if you flash this http://mirror.jokersax.com/th3bill/Photon/Internal_Primary_Photon.zip it should fix the problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Already tried that. Din't work :(

When I go into recovery I can see the contents of my SD card. But not when I boot up into Android.

The weird par is put in a external SD card, it recognises it in Android, but I cannot flash anything from recovery which is present on the ext SD card!

Any have any ideas how to fix this?? :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Can you mount your internal storage through recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
which ones the newest? MIUI v4 2.6.8_6.9.3 or the one with all cm9 libs?

edit: nvm i feel stupid
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Well now I'm not sure, is 2.6.8_6.9.3 the latest build, or will there be a 2.6.15 later today?
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
The latest build is the one with the latest CM9 Libs.

At this time, the NEW (which has all the CM9 libs in it) is newest. I have 2.6.15 on my phone already. I'm going to test for about an hour, then if all is good, I'll have it uploaded by 3pm.

No more cm9 camera for 8MP. I edited the MIUI one so that it will do 8MP

Chinese removed from Lockscreen :)

Have not yet started on the Options Chooser yet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the options chooser? Was that the separate MIUI options for status bar changes and things? I noticed that was missing when I flashed the newest version. I nandroided back because I'm going away for the weekend, but can't wait to update again because the camera in the new version seems great. No lag, no FC after a couple minutes of playing with it. Last version's camera is sketchy for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Toolbox is what allows for the status bar changes. I will give you a lil warning that it can be a bit twitchy. I actually don't use it myself, but put it in the Options Chooser (along with a lot of other choices) so that you have an easy way to add custom stuff to your phone :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
It is flashed over aroma installer for tons of more options. makes it easier to update just the smaller chooser than the whole rom:) its not needed but its really coolz:)

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

you DONT need options chooser to change status bar! just the theme chooser and you can download themes(most dont change status bar) without flashing theme chooser!
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimms:
That photon emmc/internal primary zip never worked for me too.

Download the aroma base version or another rom, put it on your internal memory via recovery (mounts>usb mount), then flash.

The option of make internal primary in Aroma base rom does work fine though.

Did you choose flash from external SD in recovery while flashing from microSD?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
Amen... AROMA NEVER FAILS ME!! ECER
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Aromabase 2.6.15 is up on Jokersax.com

Standard is uploading to MIUI.us right now.

Cheers! :)​

Edit: BOY AM I DUMB>>>>MESS UP BUILD NUMBER :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
Coolz th3bill:):) 2.6.15 installed without a hitch(as aroma always does),didnt wipe and love the ****TY AZZ comment lmaolmao!! working great,gonna benchmark. will 1.4 kernel ever be compatible bro? also talk started and status bar said congratz ya updated and i clicked on it and it forced closed lmao!! im second download for rom,woohoo

Reply

oops even with all libs browser still fails when ya go from portrait to landscape.oh well minor hiccup
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Updater always FC the first time you click it. If you open it up a second time, it works. Main reason is that app loads before you have active data connection, so when you click it, it has no loaded connection to MIUI, and you get a FC :)

Browser will still have FC until we have proper MOTO libs. This edition just has the latest CM9 ones, which will make some things run a bit snappier :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
theme chooser is a separate download. You can find it at

http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/miui-photon/
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Choose where you want the themes downloaded to, Internal or external SD once flashed go to the themes app. Hit menu>import from SD card>and then you can apply them however you want. My favorite is called black and blue but its not in the theme chooser as an option currently. You can find it here.

Does MIUI v4 2.6.8 6.9.3 Photon Options Chooser work with 2.6.15 (the latest release)? I tried downloading just the aroma base for the latest, and I have no service (thinking bc I am on GSM), and I couldn't choose GSM in options because there are no options.

Thanks.

2.6.15 Options Chooser is UP

Jokersax.com

I have put better explanations of where you can choose as many as you want, and where only one choice is permitted.

Also added in a "Default" Option if you only want a few commonly used options

[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
It works fine for me. Did complete wipe. AKA yo ass is shiny:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
On this build you MUST at least do a system wipe and reinstall gapps. The libs are set up different than previous builds. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
So if i am flashing the .15 aromabase i don't need to wipe anything ? then i can flash the option chooser over it again without loosing my preview settings and such?

Edit : ah I am retarded .. just read the post above .. so do system wipe and then flash .15 right ? Then flash option chooser with the gapps ( don't need to flash other options that are installed before ) ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Toolbox is still messed up. If I choose to install it, when I reboot I get "system UI has stopped," and if I'm on miui home, that force closes too. I tried all different combinations, and its definitely toolbox as I can choose that and install nothing else from the options zip and still get the fc.

Everything else seems great so far.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Using mount usb in recovery also failed to work. I installed aroma from ext sd card using rom manager in miui...I just could not get a read on my internal storage anywhere!! :(

That's correct. Do system wipe before aromabase, then flash Options after

I'll have to look at it...I will admit I haven't really spent much time with the Toolbox on my phone...
