GOOD NEWS!

2.6.29 is FIXED!

It's up on Jokersax.com

It took some doing, as for some reason, the apks were not signed properly. I had to actually re-sign all the apks so that I could get it to work.

I have removed Toolbox for now, as it completely eliminated the Notofication area, and I didn't want to release something like that. Both versions are on Jokersax.com now :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] metalsnakebite:
Has way too many fc's and won't install gapps. Fc's on the browser.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Um....examples? Did you wipe data? Can you get a logcat? This is the kind of post that is totally useless to someone working on a rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] metalsnakebite:
I followed the instructions in the OP used the wipe all zip then installed then went to advanced error report - log- rebooted the recovery then proceeded to install the rom with the aroma installer twice. When It finally booted I tried to connect to the play store and it said connection to the server failed. So I tried to use the internet browser to visit jokersax.com but when I click on anything it fc'd. I thought it was because it needed permission fixed so I rebooted to recovery and fixed permissions. Once booted no change. I also did the same thing for the standard install.

Sorry for making such a useless comment I half asleep.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....want a fix for browser? (No it doesn't fix rotate...that is a LIB thing...last night's issues were FRAMEWORK issues. As such, I made a fix this morning :)

FIX​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I was not fully awake when I finished last night. I forgot a couple of edits in the framework that fix selecting in browser.

Sorry bout getting upset...first thing in the morning...believe me, my friend, I've spent about 15 hours on this in the last 2 days to get it working right so that everyone can enjoy it.

That being said...PLEASE, everyone, when reporting an issue, give a logcat. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Are we using the 2.6.22 options?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.6.29 Options will be uploaded shortly.

any requests for Options for the reup I do Monday/Tuesday?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Options Chooser is UP
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
And for those of you interested, FourSquare works on this build...just checked in at my house! :)

I will admit I haven't used the app until my attempts within the last week, so I really don't know what to do with it...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I will be unavailable till tonight sometime. Need a break after the marathon of work...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Unless you reuploaded to Jokersax.com, the 2.6.29 that I tried still didn't install Gapps. I was also getting some weird error (that I've never seen before, ever) when trying to install a non-market app (and YES, I checked the option to let me install non-market) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1745819. Something about certificates? Glad to know that it's not just me that was having those issues though. I thought I had brain damage or something lol.

EDIT

Also, any Gapps that did install would close immediately upon opening, without even FC'ing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you wipe data prior to installing? If not, then there is your problem. Need to wipe data on this one. It's changing not just the MIUI version (2.6.22 to 2.6.29), but also the CM9 base (0.6.9.3 to 0.7.0).

Also, when you are reporting an error that I do NOT have going (have installed at least 20 apps today), it's helpful to send me a logcat (and before you say you can't, alogcat is in the options chooser).
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Any ETA on when Toolbox will be in 2.6.29?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
i wiped everything. my gapps didnt the same thing so i went back and reinstalled, but now gmail opens for a sec then fc's. facebook works fine for a few times then it started to fc unless you reinstall it but eventually it does the same thing. im back on cm7 right now and never got the chance to logcat them but jus letting some people know im havin the same problem, maybe they can logcat if theyre still on this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Question...where is everyone downloading from? MIUI.us downloads page or Jokersax.com? I need to figure out which mirror I need to update, as I have it working 100% on my Photon, so it must be an improper file on one of the mirrors.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Unfortunately, the toolbox completely eliminated the notification area when I attempted to install it on this build, so I am holding off on making it a part of 2.6.29 until I get updated parts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
I did a full wipe, through both CWM and through the Aroma installer (just in case one wasn't actually wiping). I grabbed both the 2.6.29 Aroma Base and Aroma Options from Jokersax.com.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm reuploading the zips now. We've been experimenting with different ways to upload to the servers, and the method I used to upload the "fixed" versions didn't take. The files that are on the server are the old ones that are a bit messed up (Time stamp 2:30am...so lack of sleep was an issue). I am uploading the ones with the fixes built in. It's what I have been running since yesterday morning without issue :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Give me about an hour....slow work wifi upload
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Sounds good! Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
jokersax, aroma and options chooser, google wont sync and allot of fc. hope that helps
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
so there is no way to get rid of the custom carrier thing and dual signal bars?

exact problem I was having after install as well, went back to .22
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Files on Jokersax.com are updated now :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
That is the issue we were experiencing before he updated the zips, are you sure you are using the newest ones?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I think I might know what the issue is. I just noticed that the retouch binaries is wrong. For now, I am going to take down the Aromabase. Use the Standard with the Options Chooser over the top.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Should we still install the GApps through the Options Chooser?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would say no...there is a set of gapps on goo.im under MIUI section. At this point, I am going to re-do my uploads and fix my links on Jokersax.com. I'm sorry guys. Been meaning to do this for a bit anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
I tried the Gapps from Jokersax.com Mirror 1 and they fail on installation with Status 6 in CWM. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Goo.im

under MIUI section

Gapps :)

They work awesome!
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Okay I got the latest version installed. Thx bill.

Issues so far:

1. Had to install Apex from the Play store. Checking it off in the Options Chooser did not work no matter how many times I rebooted and went through the Apply Zip from SD card process. Actually a bunch of stuff never installed.

2. Can no longer modify the status bar that reads, "MIUI MoPho" or center the clock like last version.

3. Wallpaper scaling has changed. Last version I could just pick an image from my SD using the gallery app and it would automagically scale to fit my screen. Now the gallery has this goofy process where it loads the image with a crop tool that will only fit over a very small portion of the image. So I am trying to use the same GF portrait image and I can only crop a part of her instead of the whole figure. The image loads fine for the lockscreen though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1) Did you report error, show log in recovery before flashing options chooser? If not, that's your issue.

2) Toolbox was really borked in this build...completely eliminated the notification area....so I figured better to have a notification area.

3) This version has some changes to Gallery that were done by MIUI. That may be what is causing it. Probably need to play around with it some more.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Need to add reboot not working to my list. When I click reboot from the drop-down status bar it shuts down the phone - no reboot and I have to long press the power button.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's really odd...worked perfectly 2 seconds ago when I just tested it...

I'm about to fix all the download links....it's going to take some time to upload the files...

I just got home where I have good internet access :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Thx for trying to fix this stuff.

WIRELESS just took a dump too. Just noticed after testing the reboot issue I just mentioned. Right after installing this new version of your ROM i successfully setup my WIFI. Now that network has been deleted and I can no longer add it. I can see all my neighbors but not mine, which I purposely do not broadcast. Always worked on the stock Photon and worked fine on your last version.

dunno wassup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, give me a lil bit...I'm in the process of re-setting up the links and uploading the corrected files.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Not trying to dump on you but I just see these things as they come up...

When I go into Settings/Battery and change Battery indicator style to "percentage" - nothing. It stays as Graphical. Top Bar works too. As with the WIFI, Percentage showed before I started fooling with the reboot issue now I can't get it to appear no matter what.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I have links fixed. Gapps working. And guess what??

WORKING TOOLBOX

I will say this...Home Rotation is a little wonky. Not sure why that is...but other options work GREAT!

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Where were these uploaded to?
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I'm using 2.6.29 without a single complaint. The only compromise I had to make was switching to an older version of Firefox Beta as the new one freezes for me. Thanks once again Th3Bill!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Jokersax.com under the section "Th3Bill" MIUI for Photon (has all both versions)

or

roms.miui.us (has Standard flash ONLY)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Thanks! Working flawlessly for me as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
just wondering if I'm just missing it or has the use volume rocker to wake green removed.thanks for all the hard work, and i will donate again soon i hope.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Then can you confirm voicemail is working? I cannot figure out how to access mine. Got 3 calls in the past 2 days that I did not answer and all I keep getting is a text message directing me to some out of state area code to call for voice SMS. When I call the number it is busy. What the heck happened to my old voicemail???

Called Sprint and they directed me to call #1 - that gave me a "The number or code you have dialed is incorrect" and then disconnects.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
You need the ics voice mail app from the themes/apps section. Push it to the /system /app folder, set permissions, install, reboot, profit

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Venomusdragon:
or you can open your dialer, go into settings, voicemail options and change the number your phone dials when you hold the #1 key to your own phone number. Its certainly not visual voicemail but you can access your messages this way, I prefer this way... I was never a big fan of visual VM anyhow

Party Spock is in the house, everybody have a logical time!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Just curious... why do you like having to listen to or skip through messages to get to a certain one versus just tapping the one you want to listen to via visual voicemail?

Once I found the Better Youmail visual voicemail app, I stopped using Sprint's. This one is far superior to me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Thanks for the info! Just wondering whether the camera (still and video) I'd working now. I'm running version .16 and the camera is really wobbly. Video camera isn't working at all. If both work better now that would be wonderful!! Otherwise I love MIUI!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Still running 2.6.22 with the 1.3 kernel....this is what I got with the clock set to 1300 MHz....is this the usual what everyone is getting?

th3bill - noticed a weird issue where some apps close after rotating from portrait to landscape and back to portrait.I don't get a FC , the apps just shutdown on their own! Known issue? Or is this new.

Last koshun- is the 1.4 kernel more stable on the 2.6.29 build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which apps? Need a lil more info....most of those rotation issues have been improved in 2.6.29 (save for browser).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Camera works well for me. Video cam isn't going to be fully functional till we get libs from Moto for ICS
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I use Google voice for voicemails. I don't even remember how to get voicemail the default way!
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Facebook closes for me on 2.6.29 when rotating.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Is this something for all carriers or just sprint?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Venomusdragon:
Because I honestly have never had a reason to save voicemails lol, if its important info I usually write it down... besides... now a days I usually am contacted via text message.... even my parents and grandparents are texting now :what:

Ok well apart from the stock browser here's the list of apps I have had shut down on me when switching rotation....

1. Facebook

2. Dolphin Browser HD

3. Whatsapp

4. Themes chooser

Don't remember others will post if I observe anything major.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kapilthio:
GSM does not work in 2.6.29 standard. FCs android.phone

tried 4636 - no help

buil.prop - no help
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Need a logcat. I don't use GSM, so I CANNOT reproduce your error.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Facebook and Dolphin are both ones related to the missing libs for ICS.

Not sure what Whatsapp is

Themes Chooser? You mean the Themes app? I just tried to get that to rotate and it doesn't seem to...not sure what app you mean
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
Please help

I flashed the 2.6.29 with Options Chooser over the previous version the other day. It worked like a charm. No issues. I decided that I wanted to try some different options yesterday, so I re-flashed and the phone got stuck at the boot animation and then froze. I restored my 2.6.22 backup and it booted up just fine. I tried to flash the new version again and it got stuck at the boot animation again. This time I did a full wipe, re-flashed 2.6.22 and all was well. Whenever I try to flash the 2.6.29 with option chooser, the phone just gets stuck at boot. I haven't done anything different, so I am not understanding why it it won't work for me anymore. Please help. I'm on the Photon.:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you do the "report error, show log" before flashing the Options Chooser? If not, it will keep your previous choices, add the new ones, and cause borks in the installation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
I did not. Let me figure out where to do this and I will report back with the results! Thank you for responding.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
In cwm, go to advanced, then report error, then show log, then reboot recovery. This will clear what is hanging around from any previous aroma installs....for some reason it leaves the choices behind.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
I did the "report Error, show Log" step (thanks for the directions)! So far, the problem still exists. I have done a full wipe of all the caches. I did a factory reset, system reset and the phone still gets stuck at the boot screen. It there an option I should NOT choose for my Photon? I haven't chosen the gapps with face unlock option, due to previous posts. I have been choosing the beats audio 5.1 option. I wonder if that is the culprit. I am not sure what else to do. The strange thing is that it worked fine the very first time I installed it. I should have left well enough alone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It could be the beats audio. Try formatting data partition.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Are you just flashing the options chooser? Or are you flashing the miui zip and then the options zip?

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
I was on the 2.6.22 version, then I flashed the 2.9.29 with options on top of that. The first time it worked. After the first time, i kept going into the boot loop. The file I am using is called "MIUI.us.Sunfire_v4_2.6.29_Options_Chooser_TMT.zip"
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You have to flash either Aromabase or Standard first, then the Options Chooser. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
+1 you have to have the base, without it the options has no rom. Expecially if you did a full wipe

just a quick note been using TWRP2 for months now with no issues, plus no mutable volume mashing, all touch.......
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
That worked thanks!

I have no idea what you mean by "Push it to the /system /app folder" but thanks anyways.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
Well, now that I feel like a total buffoon...

That worked like a charm!! Thank you for your help!!:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
I'm really curious whether this is true, as I'm going to Germany in two weeks. Can anyone in Europe confirm that GSM is working?? :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Download the app from that thread, copy and paste it to the /system/app folder, set permissions to what the others are, reboot recovery, wipe davlik and cache, fix permissions, then you should be good to go

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Wish I could help ya on that one, boss....LOL :)

Best I can say is try flashing Options Chooser and select GSM Tweaked right after flashing the base rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cesar424:
So with incoming and outgoing calls the contact photo seems to be stuck on the first contact I called after flash. Its also no longer the large contact photo but a small photo to the top left. Anyone else have this issue or is it something I did?

Is a log needed? Didn't think so since its not crashing but if so just tell me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dricos:
How about Flash Player?

Does it work on this ROM ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
Since the XDA search function is disabled, I can't look up this issue in the threads. Since I flashed the 2.6.29 (the CORRECT way!! Thanks again TH3Bill and Bullfrog527), my wi-fi and gps/geolocation have not been functioning. Is this something that has already been addressed? What to do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What kernel did you use when you did the Options Chooser? I have a feeling you may have chosen a custom kernel. Will have to unfortunately flash over. When you get to the Chooser, choose to keep current kernel
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
Thanks! That fixed the wifi issue. Now it connects with no problem. The GPS issues are still present. None of my weather apps will acquire my location. I have to enter in my specific location. I have Beautiful Weather, Miui Weather, The Genie widget and 9-s Weather. None of them will acquire my location. They all worked on 2.6.22. When I did the option chooser, I left the GPS at the default.:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try THIS

Courtesy of one of my Atrix users! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cayjominara:
Nope! Still no GPS locking.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not sure, my friend...it worked great on my phone even as recent as this morning, when I began testing my new port of AOKP

Sometimes too I have to set it manually before it will automatically pick up gps. I was having trouble with the miui weather back a few updates, when I was on MIUI :)

Well, I am loving the MIUI Rom, regardless. I will keep working and searching to see if I can figure out the fix. Keep up the good work though!:cool:

Why can't I download anything off the market without wifi?

Sweet. I've been running Lokfish's Imperial for a while but was wanting to get back to miui so I log in for the first time in a while and find this!! Downloading and charging my phone now!
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
has anyone gotten handcent sms to work with miui, if so could you be so kind as to tell me how, i just cant get it to work at all, thanks for any and all info
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
you should be able to....I think you are being concerned by the constant reminders about data usage. If that's the case, go to the Tools folder, select Downloads, then hit menu, choose settings, and set it to 10MB. That should keep you from having any more annoying notifications.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tcf84:
Im actually having the same issue as sffr. I was previously running miui back in January just fine. DLed this newer version, got stuck on Moto Dual Core screen. Tried to re-wipe everything and re flash, no luck. Tried to go back to the miui version I was using back in January and same thing. What I find odd is that I've been able to flash back and forth to rocko's rom and Imperial rom fine, and they seem to take an appropriate amount of time, but every time I've attempted to flash miui today it's taken like 5 seconds and says it's done...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What options did u pick? Or is this standard flash?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tcf84:
I didn't get any options. Went into recovery, wiped data, cache, dalvik. Went to install zip from sd, chose miui zip, and about 5 seconds later it says it's installed, but will sit at the moto screen for 20 minutes and do nothing
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which version? Does it say aroma in the name?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try letting it boot between aroma, options, and themes versions.

Not sure how you would get the now screen, as that won't show at all with this rom flashed. It should go from red motor dot to boot animation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tcf84:

I'm on the miui splash screen for a minute now but holding up hope. Flashed with twrp 2.1.1(which is nice btw). I think I'm froze, but it's still progress.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Perhaps try the Aroma one :)
