I was confused, thought Options package was the 2.6.8 rom with the options also included like past versions of yours. As it may sound self explanatory, I think it takes some trial and error before it becomes clear as it is not explained real well. But that is fine I got it now. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did u do report error show log first? Won't install unless u do
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did u do the error/log thing before flash?

Love new version! Running very nice so far. And the first rom to give me 3g speeds with straight talk gsm. Great work Bill!:D

i can't save the contact with Chinese character.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
themes work great here...

try this, download your favorite .mtz (miui theme) and place it in sdcard/miui/themes, open theme manager and select your theme... its how Ive been applying my v4 buuf theme for months now...works everytime for me

pace

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This is an issue with MIUI.us. They do not have the Chinese language properly translated for that app.

When you say music fc, what in the app are you trying to do when it fc? Please give a little more info fellas...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've found that some are trying to apply themes while on other launchers. I know that doesn't work...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I'm just gonna put this out there. I'm not singling anyone out.

We're having WAY too many comments or PMs to me of "Music broke" or "Contacts don't work" or "I don't have service" with NO additional info.

I work on 14 (yes FOURTEEN) different builds (either as lead or contributor) across 3 devices....many of which come with options for installation.

That being said, I am going to start a new policy, as I'm having to spend WAY too much time asking the same questions in response ("what phone? what build? what options?"):

If you do NOT identify your DEVICE, ROM, and OPTIONS (if any...if none, identify that too), I will NOT respond at all. It's not that I don't want to help. It's that I spend too much time dragging info out of people, and that decreases time I have for fixing things or adding new mods, etc to my builds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Did you upload the fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which lockscreen? Are you talking the stock one? That one shouldn't have Chinese in it. The themes, I have not had a chance to try to get rid of all the Chinese out of those, and that might take some time (many of the themes are from Chinese MIUI site).

HERE is the stock locksreen in a flashable zip without Chinese

Commented on some other miui rom post here ...it said some stuff does not work...well yours does ...then someone said ..hey try to use miui from cm9...i said i think that's what you did,over the unofficial jokersax's cm9.lol and i said correct me if im wrong. suggestion....INVERTED APPS choice in aroma PLEASE!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jpborjav:
android.phone is force closing

I did flash 2.6.8 aromabase photon then option chooser, no luck. then i flash gsmfix and try the dial thing with the reboot, no luck.

options:

-full wipe

-no mms

-olegv7 kernel

-beats audio

-bravia

-flash

-gapps

-south america gps

-no extra launchers

-gsmt

-forced irl

-emmc primary SD

-alt 2d libs

I dont have logs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....good list :)

When you went into dialer, what did it say was the network you're trying to connect to?

Also, check your build.prop. Make sure that your ro.telephone.default_network=0
[Motorola Photon 4G] jpborjav:
Sorry i had to do some phone calls so i went back to my backup. Radio was off, and it was on GSM auto. I didnt check the build.prop.

If you give me a fix i can try it again like in 1 hour.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
What's up guys, has anyone encountered your phone acting like u clicked on several things and locking up homescreen shaking?

[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes I had that. I think that the phone unlocks in my pocket, and then all hell breaks loose. Started out great then... I don't know what.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What options you choose guys? If you used the Toolbox, that might be it....I'm not so sure that's stable just yet...cool, but I dunno...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The only fix that we have at this time is the gsm that's in Options Chooser..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I finally got Special Wipe to work. It backs up your apps you downloaded from the market as well as their data....allows the system to do a full, complete wipe (/system, /data, /cache) and then restores the apps with their data still in tact. THIS IS ONLY for downloaded apps (not system apps, as those change with different release, and might cause serious borks)

I'll be re-upping the files tonight...everything should be up to date and ready for download in about an hour :)

CHEERS!
[Motorola Photon 4G] andrewrh3:
is it possible to upload your 'make EMMC primary' flashable zip for cm9 based roms to goo.im as the jokersax site appears to have killed some download pages? thanks a lot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Hi, Bill. It makes the real sense! I'm gonna check out how this damn script works! thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's a bit clunky in Aroma. In a plain CWM updater, it's very clean and simple. The way Aroma loads partitions and flashes the rom, I had to do it a bit over the top just to get it to load
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Please do not download for at least 1-2 hours. Server uploads went down last night mid-upload. I'm having to fix everything on that. Download links on Jokersax.com went down as well. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Links on Jokersax.com are Fixed for MIUI.us files only. My mods section is still down. Use ONLY MIRROR 1 or MIRROR 2 at this time, as Torrents must be redone and the Goo Mirror is down.

Aromabase 2.6.8 has Chinese removed from Lockscreen and has the Special Wipe in it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Were the lockscreen and special wipe the only updates to the 2.6.8 file?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
At this time, yes

2.6.8 Options has corrected Audio Mods section
[Motorola Photon 4G] Venomusdragon:
special wipe...

So I just installed 2.6.8 over a previous install of 2.6.8 with jokers 1.3 kernel after downloading the newest upload containing the fix for the lock screen and the new special wipe feature. At first I thought maybe my download was bad because when I started the installer it froze and kicked me back to cwm when I selected special wipe, so I went back into advanced and reported error and show log again and tried once more and it worked. Except when I rebooted after flashing options chooser again everything was gone like a fresh install, no downloaded apps or data was retained :eek:... I'm not worried about it because I didn't really have much on my phone and it's pretty easy to set up but maybe I'm not the only one and there's something that got missed somewhere? Hope this helps someone somewhere lol can confirm that the Chinese lock screen is fixed though :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
well it happened on 2.5 and also on 2.6.1 it does it a little less now on aroma base 2.6.8 with tool box but it still happens, now it actually unlocks in my pocket very weird it wasn't doing that before

sent from my mof*ck!n mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimms:
Happened to me. Difference is,

I chose default kernel, no beats , no bravia, default gps

It was showing Radio off/ GSM auto.

after a couple of tries, i too went back to my nand backup.

Th3bill, appreciate your work.

Options are good, but it will make it hard to pin point the cause of error.

Can you limit the number of options to 2 or 3 in each segment(most demanded options)? Just a thought.

Thanks a lot.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I can't send texts longer than 160 characters, this is a known problem for some people on all our ics based roms. To remedy this I normally just replace the messaging apk with one from 4.0.3 which still has the option to split texts. But miuis messaging app is different so I can't use the standard ics messaging apk. Bill, if you wouldn't mind, could you upload a miui messaging apk from one built on 4.0.3 so that I can send split texts without using a third party app? Id really appreciate it and great work on this rom.

I'll have to go back and down one of the old versions....I do my work on my laptop, so I don't have all the files on here. I'll do that tonight...at work right now, so downloading is pretty limited. I can down and up small files, but nothing really big...(except to Joker's server, but I don't have a 4.0.3 on here :( )
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hmm...you deactivated stock notifications?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Dat dude am wrong! Straight up! All you guys rock!:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Thanks for the vote of confidence. :)

I guess it irritated him that I've opened 2 new MIUI threads recently (one in Photon and one in Atrix forums). This was done at the request of MIUI.us.

Two reasons were given:

1) To keep OPs up to date (Atrix was a month behind and Photon was 2 weeks)

2) To keep OP in the standardized to the format that they wanted.

I obliged, as I wanted to keep the builds having Official status.

We don't think so, you are contributing much to our community. We appreciate your work very much. Go your own way and let others say.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
So, you're indicating that I should make like 10 different zips? I'm not trying to be an ass, but I don't have time to maintain that many files. I'm really not sure why GSM is working for some and not for others. Can someone who has WORKING GSM maybe suggest what options might work better? That would be a little better than making 10 times as much work for me....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....Aromabase is cool, but it's not fully functional. I'm going to be putting Gapps, camera, and MIUI music player, and File Explorer back into it. Then the Options Chooser would have options to REMOVE these apps if you didn't want them, as well as the option for additional things. This will be done tonight, and uploaded sometime later on. Gonna head out to play with my kids now. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
heck ya ya all rock!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
CHECK IT OuT!
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Are you importing the Themes to your SD after you flash the chooser? You can select all of them. when the phone boots up go into "themes" > Local > hit <Menu> select import from SD then find them in the folder named <Theme and select one and import it. You can only select one at a time. Then using the theme app install it. To use multiple Themes you can go into <MIX> and select different parts of a them for different sections. (Lockscreen, status bar, etc)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
Thank you so much(noob moment) couldnt understand why they were not in themes!!lmao

Posting in case others are wondering cuz i cant find where POST 3 is lol

is the oleg kernel overclocked? and if not is it overclock-able using antutu or setcpu? thanx
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimms:
You got me wrong.

You are already working a lot on this, so i should not, would not ask for more.

I was suggesting if it's any better to lower the number options. (now we have 5 launchers, 4 props etc.) One folder on ftp hosting extra apps if anyone wants to install.

Or by skipping downloadable apps in the install?

With less number of options, it will be easy for you to know which app is causing problems as many people are not giving the info about the options they are choosing while installing.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Can you put that in very large font? LOL :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Thank you for the new update, one thing I noticed. In the base file we have the option to select MIUI Camera, Gallery, Google Apps and then we also have that option in the Options file, if we select it in the base file, do we need to select it again in the Options or leave it un-checked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You can leave it unckecked. The Options overflash does not contain any wipe or format scripts in it(save for the direct "Delete" options).
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Alrighty, thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
You go to fast with your updates ****er ;P

-Grabbing V4_2.6.8 Base now.

Also the torrent for the base is actually the torrent for the Option_chooser fyi.

I know it was mentioned before that Themes doesn't change the color of the fonts where needed and I notice it's still an issue so with some of the best Themes you can't read anything in most apps. Anything we can try to fix this.

I'm in love with Miui again. Awesome work! It's almost too fast. I start playing with my phone and I feel like it's moving so quickly that it's just going to blow up. haha Love it!

[edit] Have some extra time coming up. I want to start helping out again. I need a hobby. ;P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I try to keep this as up to date as possible. I'll fix torrent links this evening. LoL

I know some of the themes do make things fuzzy...not sure why. I'm going to be redoing themes zips tonight. I figured out a better way. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Looking forward to testing it. Just a guess, I've tried doing a few things and I'm pretty sure it just has to do with the color of the fonts not changing to the specified Theme. In some apps some of the font is white so you can't see it, but in others it's black. Take comment threads for instance in apps like "meetme". Some of the comments are fine but for every 5 there's one that is white font and you can't see it. In buffs them the background is actually changed acording to his Theme and in the other themes it doesn't change. I think this could have something with the font issue. The background is supposed to change to dark but doesn't hence you can't read the txt. Most all the "lighter" themes work fine for this reason.

Do you have a sim card on your phone with a PIN? I know that causes some issues for people. You'll have to do some looking around to find the fix...I'm not totally sure the process, but you need to disable the PIN on your sim card before flashing the rom...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
Hi all,

just rooted/unlocked/cwm/flashed this rom. So i am still learning a lot of things about flashing/back ups and ets. I decided to flash the standard flash (the one right off the miui website). First off, the rom works amazing so far. The browsing landscape bug is a bit annoying, but i just disabled that feature in browser so problem solved. I noticed that the camera is only 5mb as opposed of the regular 8 mb. So, I had a couple of questions:

1) is there a way to install the older miui, which has the 8mb or just get a camera app from the market that will allow me to do this?

2) This is a silly quistion... i t ried to do aroma based installing, but can not seem to be able to find the rom to download?

thanks for the help and thank you so much for an awesome rom!

jkap
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Browser FC is something we won't have a fix for until we have proper ICS MOTO libs. I've had reports that Firefox for Android has less of that issue. :)

Go HERE and download the file. Before you flash it (or anything Aroma based), you must first go to Advanced in CWM, then choose Report Error, then Show Log, then Reboot Recovery. You can then flash it. The Aromabase one has an 8MP camera in it. The Options Chooser is a really nice overflash that will give you some other pretty near options as well.

Thanks:) I'm glad you like the ROM. I love it...only ROM I run (save for when I do testing for Kitchen Sink when we build it)
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I've fallen back in love with this version! When you look pull down the notifications, is the battery icon white on white? Am I missing a simple setting to change that? Things like the play/next button for the Google Music notification also appear as white text on the white background.

I dont have a pin >.< what else can i do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
thank you for the help! the camera works perfect now and I added a few other features to it!

I did a /system wipe (wasn't sure if i was supposed to or not =/ ) the problem i have now is that all the miui settings are gone. So, the "roaming fees" at the top left corner is back and now i have no way to erase it cause there are no settings. Was i not supposed to do the /system wipe?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try renaming FastDormancy.apk to FastDormancy.apk.bak

I have a feeling that this is what is borking the system
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
tried restarting with no luck.. should i just reflash everything and do a full wipe and just start over?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hmm...that's really strange. Try relfashing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
ah sorry to bother again..

so i did a clean install .. wiped everything.. flashed the standard file .. restarted .. flashed the second file to get camera and stuff. Everything seemed to be fine. Started reinstalling all the apps and such. Got around to the miui.us Toolbox but none of the options seem to be working. I change teh status bar setting and it just looks the same no matter what i do =/

thoughts ideas?

edit: so i reflashed the standard file again and the toolbox works perfectly fine. I think the problem lies when i flash the aromatase file. going to try one more time and see what happens

edit2: so flashed the MIUI.us.Sunfire_v4_2.6.8_693_Aromabase_TeamMotoTegra over the standard file (no wipe) ... all the miui tools are present but do not seem to work (changing the status bar does nothing) .

edit3: flashed that same file again but with full wipe now ... all the miui tools are missing =/ off to bed now cause it is way too late
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I don't think you understand how these files work. You do not have to flash the Standard CWM file before Aromabase. Actually, you are not supposed to do that. Aromabase is a BASE....it is a full, separate Phone build. To properly use it and have the Toolbox, you would do this:

1) Download both Aromabase and Options Chooser

2) Flash Aromabase

3) Flash Options Chooser (choosing Toolbox during options in it)

4) You're done.

The toolbox is not in Aromabase, as it's a stripped down build with very few options or extras. I included the Toolbox in the Standard CWM as it's not designed for being flashed over (you CAN, but it's not necessary). The reason you had a non-working Toolbox after your first flash was that you didn't wipe, so the Toolbox from the Standard still existed, yet the Framework from Aromabase(which des not have support for Toolbox) was flashed at that time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jpborjav:
i cant not rename it, at least cm9 file explorer. I cant download because WIFI is not turning on. Same spec as my last list of options.

Also i encounter a problem with the 2.6.8 0.6.9.3 option chooser.

When you get to choose the audio mod if you 1st select SRS, it will go to the boot animations page without hitting next and if you try to go back, the phone freeze no response. I had to pull the battery, i tried 3 times before posting. You should check it.
