Hey everyone,

I just want to let you know that Th3Bill won't be on today but he'll be back tomorrow!

So, with that said, if you feel like you're being ignored, I promise you're not! Well, maybe some of you are LOL...just kidding ;)

Sincerely,

Jleeblanch
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Pressing the home key is taking me to the screen with the search bar and not the clock screen like the previous builds... Lol

Anyone else having this?

whenever i flash this ROM my capacitive key lights become dim or just stay off....how do i fix this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
Sorry for my noob question.But now I'm on the Jokersax CM10. I want install this MIUI. What I must to do? In first attempt (flashed ROM zip, with "wipe cache and dalvik cache" only, then flashed gapps) I've a lot of problems, like a "phone.android.process" error, "SustemUI' errors etc. What is wrong? Do I need to do full wipe ? ( not good English, I know :o )

Everything is ok. I've done full wipe and install MIUI. Next question to developer, when can we use updated version of MIUI without jitters and etc? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] =JKT=:
The graphical issues are difficult to fix without proper kernel source for ICS or JB for your device. There is a chance that the developers can find a solution, but until Motorola releases (or leaks) an official ICS update it may not happen.

Try xperia launcher. It seems to jitter less. =)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I think Azick was referring to the newest version of CM10 being said by Th3Bill to be "transition jitter free" and hoping that will carry over to the next MIUI update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
Absolutely right. I mean update MIUI CM10 base to last version without jitters and etc.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I'm not sure seems like Th3Bill is busy or this build is taking a long time to compile as the last update did
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You do realize that this isn't the only build that Th3Bill manages, right? I'm sorry you feel like "this build is taking a long time" but dude is a busy man! He now also does CM10 from source as Joker is currently busy with life stuff. He also ports most every major rom that's out there to not only the Atrix, but the Photon and Infuse as well!

Have some patience man, for real! Updates will come when he gets to them! Just saying ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I didn't say "he was taking a long time" nor did I ever say he should be faster or complain how long it's taking, I even gave him the benefit of the doubt that maybe his real life was busy. And by "this build is taking a long time to compile as the last update did" I meant literally.

So no I don't need patience, because I already have a lot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Easy man, I was just saying. More people on here don't have patience than do, so I apologize if I took what you said in a negative manner. Posting (just the same as texting/IMing) can be very impersonal as you can't always tell what another's true feelings are in any given sentence.

I'm not personally an MIUI user, but you are right, this particular update has taken him a while to put together because Th3Bill cares about his work. He doesn't like to upload crap for everyone to use which in return, everyone would hate on and then not use anyway.

With that said, from what I understand, he has fixed the issues he's encountered and I would assume you all will be seeing an update soon ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Where do you find things like that out? (The fact that he's fixed the issues)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
JLee and I talk regularly on Gtalk. :)

As do Jokersax11 and I
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.9.29 is UP on my Goo.im section. Links are in the OP

Based on latest CM10 that I build 9.29

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
First and foremost, Thanks a ton for the time it takes for you to build these ROMS that so many of us enjoy. I love this Rom on my Motorola Electrify.

I have a quick question on the notification bar. For some reason, my regular email, my Gmail and my voicemail do not pop up in the notification bar unless it is right after turning on/rebooting the phone. I have gone through the email settings and check for new emails every 5 minutes and have the notification ringer selected and everything but for some reason it isn't checking. When I hit the email widgets, then it looks for new emails and they load. Is there a setting I am missing or any suggestions?

I have "Easy Battery Saver" running on my phone to save battery life. I have it on Intelligent mode and have checked all over for settings that would make this program stop the phone from checking for emails but no luck so far. I did uninstall the app and let it sit for 20 minutes and it never tried to look for emails. I opened both emails and had to hit refresh to get the emails to come. Any help would be appreciated

EDIT***EDIT****TO ADD FIX TO PROBLEM ABOVE: I figured out my problem. Whenever I would go to settings on my email or Gmail it always said Sync was off but I couldn't find anywhere to turn it back on until I pressed on the screen until I could add widgets. I went to "Power Settings" and put that up on my home screen. Then I hit the 4th button from the left that is the sync button. Almost instantly emails hit my status bar. I have tried looking to do that through my settings for two days now with no luck but can do it with the widget on the homescreen. Sorry to boggle up the thread.....mod's delete if you wish.

Thanks again for the great product.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
So anyone else experiencing an issue with the toggle page of the notification drawer where even when brightness is set to auto it still shows the toggle bar for manually setting it.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] enzyme:
Does anybody know what icon pack or themed icons are those in the OP screen shots? Are those stock MIUI?

I am not CNA, while I've used MIUI and love it, I want to stay with CNA a little bit longer because this is my first CNA and I want to get more familiar with it.

Any way to get those icons? On and off, I use Apex, Nova, and Go Launcher.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Does anyone know where to find volume rocker wake on miui 2.9? I had it on the previous version but can't find it on this one. Anyone else have this problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I wasn't able to find the option in the latest version but I did already have the option set on the previous version so the volume rocker does wake my Electrify but I can't see the option anymore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Its in the themes app....it's a V4 theme....I forget the name, because it's downloaded on my phone, so when I am on MIUI, it just shows up....LOL :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This rom is probably the most changing rom build to build at the moment. I'll look into it, though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I just restarted my phone and I now have no signal what so ever, under Mobile Network the default selected is GSM/WCDMA auto. I'm on Sprint which would lead me to believe that is incorrect. If I select another Mobile Network it will not save, it just reverts back to GSM/WCDMA. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Does anyone have a copy of Th3Bill's MIUI 2.9.7 or eariler uploaded somewhere? I'm trying to go back because I need to set the option for the volume rocker to wake my device and that option has been removed in the latest 2 versions so I need a copy from before that to flash, set the option, and then flash the newest version.

When I went to 2.9.29 from 2.9.21 (or whichever was previous) the option was gone, but the setting held through.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
Just ask th3bill. He's a great guy
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll look into re-implementing it. Have you looked in the toolbox? I am pretty sure it was an option in there....
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Just checked no option in the toolbox.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
TO ALL MY USERS

I do work for you for free...and I have never made a request of anyone on here. I am going to make a HUGE request now.

I would like you all to do some work for me

Take 30 minutes, go to supportmymoto.com

Click on the links and Complain in whatever fashion you can.

Better Business Bureau and

Federal Trade Commission are preferred

Also, take to your social sites and let Moto know how you feel

WE WANT SOURCE. We have some GREAT devs on here who would be willing to build the SBF FOR Motorola if given source drivers to work with.

Lets not quietly accept our great device being abandoned!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Is anyone else able to receive mms I'm using go sms I can send them but not receive them I un installed the stock sms because I kept getting 2 notifications, please help
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What carrier? Sprint CDMA and GSM should work through the stock app.

can use on MB853 ELECTRIFY ??? pls reply
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
So am I and my son.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Yes... All these ROMs work on both flavors of the Motorola Sunfire platform. Photon on Sprint and Electrify on US Cellular. It's the same phone, except the Photon additionally has a WiMax chip for 4G, but Photon users give that up by unlocking. So it's all the same.

There is an ERI fix for US Cellular. I don't think any ROMs actually need it, but it will make the ROM display "US Cellular" rather than "Sprint" where the carrier is named. But many of these ROMs allow you to change the text. Find the ERI fix not here in the Dev forum but the General forum.

Actually, MIUI is one of the few ROMs I have not tried. However, I'm sure it will work on the Electrify. I have never heard of a ROM that worked on the Photon but not the Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
The fix is also for roaming!! If you roam it is needed otherwise you can be left with no service! Yes, all ROMs work on either device.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
I'm sure this is one of those things that was answered months ago ad nauseum so I apologize in advance, but is the font changer just not working? Or am I doing something wrong?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ramakrishna:
prerequisite for installing this rom

sorry for this noob question, but can anybody explain me the prerequisie for installing this rom, unlocking bootloader is needed or not? thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Unlocking your bootloader is definitely required for this ROM, any ICS/JB ROM, and pretty much any ROM offered in a topic that doesn't contain the word "Locked" in the title. Locked ROMs aren't real ROMs per se, I've heard them called pseudo-ROMs or P-ROMs (same thing).
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Does anyone know if Moto's decision not to update our devices would be breach of contract with out cell phone provider? I know there are some pretty loopholes in our contracts. Just curious, I'm not very excited about having an outdated phone until March of 2014.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Please don't take this as any complaint I'm purely curious. Any news about this ROM, jokersax.com, or miui.us?

Again, no worries just wondering.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
What kind of info are you looking for exactly?

Jokersax.com is unfortunately down, indefinitely. Th3Bill now uses Goo.im to host his files.

As far as this rom and miui.us goes, I believe Th3Bill updates on a weekly basis...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Ik he does but its now Tuesday and 2.9.29 came out the week before last. Like I said I'm not complaining but its just curious why miui.us hasn't updated either haha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] chetansaraf:
helpppp

... will somebody plz tell me what is "Options Chooser" and is it necessary to flash it after the rom ? I have a rooted 2.3.4 photon, now if i have to flash a custom rom, i have to 1st unlock bootloader and then flash the rom and then gapps ???? or is there something more i have to do ???
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Options Chooser is an Aroma based zip file that's flash able in recovery...and yes you would flash it after you flashed a Jelly Bean based rom. The Options Chooser zip is kind of a replacement zip for Gapps. But, where it differs from Gapps is that it also has options for a different kernel, Launchers, Music Players, and File Managers.

In order to be able to flash custom ROMs, you would need to unlock the bootloader because you need to have a custom recovery in order to flash custom ROMs.

If you look in the stickied threads in this section, you will find the steps needed to unlock and answers to questions you may have about the process
[Motorola Photon 4G] chetansaraf:
... i cant find file "derpunlock.sbf" and when i am starting the phone in Fastboot mode its sayin "Starting Fastboot protocol support" n on computer when i run the coomand "moto-fastboot oem unlock" it says "INFOOEM unlock is not implemented". what is goin on here ????? :confused::confused::confused: ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
I have the derpunlock sbf on my site in either unlocking link. MotoSunfire.com

And directions. Should work for you? It's the electrify unlock. Which is the same I guess :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
In order to be able to do the "moto-fastboot oem unlock" command, you have flash the derpunlock.sbf first via RSD protocol. Then do the fastboot commands...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
Also a very common problem is people don't install things(SDK & other) in the proper place so when you're following someone's directions it doesn't work right . don't forget you can always open a command prompt in any folder by hitting shift b4 right clicking. Saved me when I was unlocking MoPho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] chetansaraf:
... plz deear, i need tour help cuz i am stuck. after all the unclocking and rooting i flashed Aroma-Prep then CNA 3.6.6.2 and finally Options Chooser. Everything went smooth till i rebooted. after reboot it goes into the boot animation and then reboots automatically. then i again wiped data and tried to flash CNA and then it showed "set_perm : some changes failed. E: Error in zip file. (Status 7). plz help :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Are you using the correct recovery? Jokers? Twrp? Photon3? Get the right one. Wipe all. Flash a classic install without options Chooser. Flash gapps. Reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Should probably mention that jokers v3 (cwm version 5.5.0.4) is currently the best recovery for custom ROMs. Others have had success with TWRP2 but when in a sticky situation, use jokers :)

**EDIT**

You can find jokers v3 recovery here. just flash in recovery.

Also, you can find traditional (non-aroma) Gapps here. Its jokers jelly gapps v3. Also good to use when in a sticky situation :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
I've only used his recovery once. I use the photon3. All the recoveries are on my site! MotoSunfire.com I have mirrors set up for nearly everything or soon to be! You sir are my mirror for a couple files (: I thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
No problem, glad to hear the links get put to use! And are in a centralized location. Thank you for making us users a site for everything Photon/Electrify related!

As far as jokers recovery goes, even Th3Bill would recommend it over any other. The biggest difference between romracers and jokers is that joker has modified his to better work with CM9+ builds. Romracers recovery is definitely stable too and let's you backup things like /pds & /osh. But its more for stock and CM7 builds.

Granted, what I used to do, was I'd use jokers recovery for flashing the rom and gapps, then flash romracers recovery and do backups or whatever else as his recoveries are themed. But, in due time, jokers recovery will be too! But keep that between you and me ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] chetansaraf:
... dear, i flashed jokers recovery many times but every time i reboot into recovery it shows only the android recovery icon with exclamation sign but strangely enough no problems with CWM recovery or even TWRP recovery. when in CWM recovery i somehow flashed miui successfully but the phone is still rebooting during the booting process. miui boot animation comes and phoen hangs n reboots. same happened with CNA, rebooted when showing "X" animation. plz need help ...:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
the only way i ever got the triangle was when using an app to reboot into the recovery, like rom manager, which you shouldn't use. have you tried booting into it from the bootloader at start up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Haha looks like I beat Th3Bill to posting about this. But I noticed on his goo.im MIUIus > Photon section that there is a new file named "MIUI.us.Sunfire_2.10.12_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip" and seeing as how 2.10.12 is finally showing on MIUI.us as the new update I'm downloading and flashing it :) hopefully there isn't anything wrong that kept Th3Bill from posting about it. But if there is I take the blame onto myself :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
I have the Motorola Electrify US Cellular version of the photon. I absolutely love these ROM's and check every day for a new update that I can flash to the phone. Just got done flashing the 2.10.12. I think the first one I downloaded was the 2.9.7 version so I am still a little new.

Everything works great on the ROM for me with the exception of one minor Text bug that I have been trying to fix by reading the forums but I either find partial fixes where I don't know what they did to get to the point they started in the post or it is not the same issue as I have.

1. I installed the 2.9.7 on up to the current JB rom and with the texting app I can receive picture messages(MMS) but I can't send them. I go through all the settings with no luck. Plus I figured out yesterday when I tried to upload a picture to Facebook that I was unable to do that either so not sure if they are related. I have found threads where guys are having problems receiving MMS but I can receive it and my problem is the opposite.........frustrating.

2. On the 2.9.7 rom, the screen will automatically rotate but on the versions since will not. So after the first one that didn't auto rotate, someone showed me how I could extract the SMS.apk file from the earlier version and copy/paste it over to the same spot on the new update, change permissions and it will rotate again. That has worked for me so far but again with the 2.10.12 version it won't auto rotate...........

These problems are really minor compared to all the improvements to the phone than the gingerbread so if there is nothing I can do I'll deal with it, but I would really like to send picture messages and have auto rotate on the messages screen. Sent PM's to guys to ask for help, but they can send MMS's fine and they are on Sprint instead of USCellular. I chose the USCC fix on the aroma Rom installers. Can anyone help me?

And thanks a lot for all the work on these!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Did you add APNs to make mms work? And try goSMS to see if that works?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hadn't noticed the rotate thing in MMS apk. They have have edited it. Have you checked out the Toolbox to see if there is an option in there?

On the MMS send issue, that really is odd. Can you pull me a logcat on it? It might be something in there that would help. I have a how to that is in this development section. The OP is 2 part...the second is how to propery logcat. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
New Build 2.10.12 is UP for BOTH

MIUI.us (which has Toolbox)

and

MIUIAndroid (which is more vanilla MIUI experience)

I also re-uploaded the Options Chooser :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
I started to follow some of the directions in earlier posts talking about the APN's, and when I did, it appeared that part of that procedure was probably fixed in later builds of the jellybean ROM because the directions I read were from before Aug 30th. I have a printscreen of the USCC APN's that I can put in my phone, but not sure how to get it done. I can find the build.prop using Root browser but can't find where I am supposed to edit the APN's. I can go on the phone to menu/mobile networks/access point names and can type in all the apn info but when I hit save and try to get out it tells me settings have changed and do I want to save, which I do and then same thing happens and all I can do is cancel out to which nothing was saved.

I see where I am supposed to do something to the apn-conf.xml and build.prop as well on the same page above down a little further. I have gone into the build.prop and took the # in front of the list that was in the thread and I can't find the ro.telephony.default = 4 so I can change the 4 to a 7 and I have gone through that list about 10 times. I also read about opening voice dialer and getting to the APN setting but I have no clue as to what is meant by the voice dialer. Chances are I'll feel stupid when I find out what it is, but if I want if fixed I'd better risk it huh???? LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Why'd you decide to go with both?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Just for $hits and giggles. Figured I'd give options
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I see. Doesn't that increase your workload? Or is that just this release?

Also, are you no longer using Aroma?

Edit: thought some of you might get a kick outta knowing I just realized that the miui version has the release date in it every time haha...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LOL! It's kinda in a strange way, too... (last num of year)(month)(date)

I will be working with Aroma again...just with the source building, I want to make sure that my process of building the ROMS is filly sound. Aroma adds in a few variables. I want to make sure that the base I'm working with is good and functonal first, ya know?

Yeah it does, but since they use mostly the same edits, it's really not too bad, honestly. This week was WAY easier than the last bunch of biulds...some of those took me a solid day of work to get working right...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I think I'm gonna try MIUI.us. Can I dirty flash it over CM10 10-10 or should I wipe all first?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Yea haha like last week I was trying to figure out what the number increases mean and why it's MIUI v4 but its version number 2.x.x

I gotcha it's just significantly more difficult to flash non-touch because my power button is 100% broken so I've been using ROM Manager to initiate the files in CWM quite irritating..
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Flashing is kinda tricky for GSM users as this is by default set on CDMA with no options to select GSM. Here's what I did.

- Opened the ZIP in WinRAR and extracted build.prop.

- Changed telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice to 3 (it was 1 by default).

- Copied libmoto_ril.so from GSM_Fix to /system/lib using WinRAR (Changed are automatically saved in the ZIP)

- Flashed ZIP using installation steps.

Is it possible to create a ZIP which does only the above change in build.prop instead of changing the whole file? The GSM Fix present in your file hosting server is for CNA and flashing this changes details 'About Phone' to CNA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
Does anyone know where I can find the volume rocker wake option in the new build, thanx guys
