Options chooser v3 has individual gapps, can be found on the OP
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Just wondering what the battery life is like?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moneymakes:
I get 8-10 hrs clocked at 800 with powersave setting. Stays at 1% for up to a little over an hour which is very nice. Ive only had really good battery life on cm7. I could get a whole day or more.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
With my e-mail apps set to poll every 30 minutes (meaning it will only check e-mail every 30 mins as compared to push, where it syncs immediately when there is an e-mail), screen turnoff at 30 seconds (I don't need it on longer than that...when I use the phone, I do what needs to be done, then put it back in my pocket, ya know? :D ), a dark theme (I prefer the Cobalt line of themes), and an Anker 1600 battery (yes, these Anker batteries are well better than stock IMO), I was getting 14-16 hours on this rom with medium usage. By modersate usage, I mean 40-60 SMS, 10-20MMS, 1-1.5 hrs talk time (usually using bluetooth), 30-40 mins of gaming, taking 10-20 pictures...and checking XDA a few times a day and responding. I don't tend to use the web on these phones, as I almost always have my laptop with me unless I'm on the road, in which case I'm driving, and I don't surf and drive :eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
AOKP users, any solution to the above problem?

I end up sending more ":- )" than otherwise intended :D:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] flame7:
Could you link me to one of those 1600 ankers please bull? I Can't seem to find any but the 1800 one, also what voltage is it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
I decided to give this rom a try today and get the same error message I was getting installing the MIUI ROMoptions zip. It aborted the install.

Not sure how to link a post but what happened is explained in the MIUI thread post #1423. The post references the MIUI rom but I wiped the phone first, then installed the AKOP ota 10.23 rom, then the AKOP-RomOptions file and it acted the same as below with the MIUI install.

Sorry...looks like amazon doesn't have it anymore. This is THE BEST battery I've had for the device. Have had ZERO overheats and nice, consistent power. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I need you to go into the recovery and get me a recovery log. It will tell you exactly what permission is failing. If you can send that to me, I'll get it fixed and re-uploaded.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Not sure if it was a fresh wipe, the new version, or a fresh wipe+the new version, but this ROM is kicking butt! It's super smooth, 3G is fast, and everything works! Love it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
I just have to say, this ROM is the shizzle! Jumped from Paranoid (which I enjoyed) which I got pretty good battery life, but AOKP trumps it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ramonsterator:
Hello friends!

Got Electrify with 2.3.5 shipped!

I've successfully done command

fastboot flash rdl.bin RDL3_unlocked.smg

but afterwards when I've flashed derpunlock.sbf - phone says Failed to boot 1

What is this???

Help me please!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I'm glad to hear you now have a Photon/Electrify but unfortunately this isn't the thread to discuss unlocking it. If you look in the sticky threads, specifically this one than read from that post down, you should be able to get yourself able to flash this rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] andrewrh3:
Hi Bill,

Is there a GSM option for this ROM yet? I didn't see it in the options choose v3.

Cheers,

Andrew

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Warning....not sure if it's just me, but I did this and my phone wouldn't move past boot screen, so I had to reinstall ROM from recovery. For others, take caution
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
Download rom option file for aokp from goo.im it should have gsm iption

New build is UP

20121028

Also, new CWM is UP (Th3Bill V1...it's CWM 6.0.1.5)

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
On it, will be grabbing it immediately. Thanks

Edit

Running smooth, the usual things to work around. Absolutely awesome stuff, Th3bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Been running this build for a few days now! Definitely loving it :D

Haven't had any serious issues that I couldn't work out for myself. Minus the scrolling in pop ups (which is a known bug and just takes some patience to deal with lol) but beyond that, everything is working great! Themes are working as expected and I even noticed there is one included this time around!!

For not knowing a whole lot about AOKP (yet), you've done an excellent job picking up where spleef left off man!

Much appreciated and I look forward to future builds! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Lol. Awesome! Maybe (hopefully) the new build from AOKP will fully work :-D
[Motorola Photon 4G] andreiciu:
where can I download more themes that work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You have 2 options...use the "Search" feature and SEARCH the forums! Also, try looking in the appropriate section of the Forums!

Not trying to be rude, but this is a ROM thread, NOT a themes thread. Themes more or less can be trial and error. Some work, some partially do, and some just don't. I have used some themes on this particular ROM (build) and you know how I found out whether they worked or not? By SEARCHING!! Just saying :cool:

**Edit**

Here is my MoPho all themed out :D

Typed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab-2 7.0 running CM9-ICS_4.0.4 using T-talk 2.0

Ok...we've established it. I've been working on building milestone 6 from source. I didn't realize just how much setup was required before I could build. With any luck, I will be able to try to get a build done tonight. If I can't get it to build right, I will port again. I think I know why things are a little wonky, and will work on it. Just need everyone to be patient :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
New CWM works perfectly, ROM Options is OK too. Just only LCD density can't change in settings of new build. Edited build.prop for changing it. Thanks for updates, Bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Awesome! I tried the CWM....has some new options. I have not tried them all, so it's not a 100% tested entity, but for flashing of roms and backing up/restoring, I found it to be really nice
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
please somebody tell me is this "awake" patternt normal?
[Motorola Photon 4G] flame7:
Do you know anywhere else I could find them? looks like theres no more on ebay either...

I've been looking for a better battery than the stock one for some time and i'd really like to try those out :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chavy09:
I'm sorry you took it as a demand. I'm sorry I wanted to know what changes there was. I'm sorry I was the only one that was wondering that as well. I'm sorry I have 10 posts. From now on I won't every ponder what I'm flashing on my phone. I'll just be a sheep like everyone else :angel:.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Really your going to go that route.... wow. I understand you are hoping for something new, to bring that delight back to your phone.

Until we get source from Motorola, it is just resync's. Or what the original developer of the ROM that Th3bill has gotten working on our phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chavy09:
I'm not trying to be ungrateful. I would just like to know what the difference was. I do think we both could have handled the situation better. I am genuinely sorry he took it as being ungrateful but i also think i have a point as well. either way it doesn't matter anymore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] frogman74:
If you want to know what's new look it up.

We have very few Devs anymore stop pissing them off.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The issue is that I don't have an exact build number that I'm working off. I am usually in between builds that they are working on, and grab the source when I have a chance to actually work it. If you look at AOKP.co, they have the change-logs for most of the builds. If you compare that to my build date, you can get a rough idea of what has changed in the build (current build is mostly between Build 5 and Milestone 1). I try to put the build where I fix things next to "works" or put in little notes when I add something.

Honestly, between Joker and I (and some stuff I've pulled from EPinter's work), we have fixed most of the items that I can without moto source (obviously needed for HWA). It's not that I am not wanting to share, but if you look, I didn't get the 2nd or 3rd post of this thread so that I could keep my thread as up to date. I have asked Mods to move the posts down a couple so that I could put screenshots and changelog in there, but so far have been told it's not possible :( I don't want to make my OP gigantic, so I don't add the extra stuff in there. I prefer to split the things up as I can. I am building Milestone 1 (which according to AOKP will be the final JB build) as I type this, so it will be a test of the new GooManager setup to see if it works. :fingers-crossed:

I'm not pissed. I was simply stating that I have a LOT of things that I do with my time, and with 3 daughters and a career, this is a hobby that I do when I have the opportunity. I wish that I could have a setup where someone else could keep up the changelogs, as honestly that is the hardest thing to remember when working on these ROMs. :rolleyes:

I don't want people thinking that they can't ask questions. I welcome questions, but when things are put as a statement as if I'm not doing something right or I take them as demanding, I do take offense sometimes. :eek:

So, lets all just drop it, and move on. Now that we know where to look for AOKP based changelogs, things should be all good. Sound good guys? :cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Milestone 1 is UP

For those of you who have the last build on your device, it should show up on the GooManager app

I just tested it, and it worked 100% :D

CHEERS!

Also, I made the RomOptions universal. It's based on shell scripts to edit....so now, no longer need different downloads for each version...one size fits all :D​
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Awesome! Will install it once TiBu backups are done :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
GSM user here. Just gave AOKP another shot after seeing the new ROMOPTIONS. Unfortunately, even after applying GSM Fix it was still on CDMA mode. I also tried GSM Tweaks, but same result. Back to MIUI.us :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
I'm GSM user too and everything perfect for me about GSM functions. Do not flash GSM Fix. You have to flash ROM, ROM-Options(tick GSM Tweaks or simple GSM) and Options Chooser 3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Thanks! I'll try again with the exact order mentioned by you.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

It didn't work. I followed the exact order mentioned by you. It's still on CDMA mode, checked *#*#4636#*#* and it's already set on GSM.

Can you please share your build.prop and libmoto_ril.so (/system/lib) ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
I did that, but it dose not work, I get the activation screen, I'm in Belgium and it dose not activate, so I still haven't get the GSM connection. if you kindly tell us the steps you teak to make GSM work. thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e1cadet13:
CDMA Troubles

My swipe down screen says "No Internet Connection"

Settings> About Phone>

Network: US Cellular.

Status: says "Mobile Network State" - Disconnected.

Trying to get this to work CDMA on Sprint.

I can call and send text messages, but I cannot access the internet. Sorry if I seem out of the loop, I have tried searching multiple terms to see if I could find CDMA solutions, but the only ones I could find were GSM.

Does anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
Sprint should work out of the box. Did you flash any of the "fixes" in ROMoptions? All of those, save CDMA tweaks, will bork Sprint service.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e1cadet13:
I flashed the CDMA one. I will go back through and deselect them. Also what does the USSC stand for? I assume it doesn't apply to Sprint?

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

Okay so I did a full wipe twice, then installed only milestone one. I am still not getting any sort of internet connection. I think I may have goofed up on the installation process. That is what I get for trying to install something while sleep deprived.

I tried to revert to an old backup, but my phone is telling me there is an "MD5 mismatch!"

Oh dear, what have I done?
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
If I'm not mistaken, USSC is a fix for US Cellular for the Electrify. Not needed for Photon on Sprint.

If you're getting an MD5 mismatch on an nandroid backup, I wonder if perhaps your microsd is corrupting data?? What recovery are you using?

I'm not running Milestone 1 (in fact, I'm not even on AOKP), so I can't verify that Sprint service is working on it. It should work out of the box, so I'll wait for the Pros to chime in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e1cadet13:
I'm using the latest recovery provided by thebill. Also, I got the phone to stop reading US Cellular.

This is what I decided to try last:

Full wipe.

Factory Reset.

Milestone 1.

ROMOptions.

Option Chooser.

Still no internet connection.

This is what I see in About Phone...

Signal Strength: -86 dBm 4 asu

Mobile network type: CDMA - 1xRTT:7

Service State: In Service

Roaming: Not roaming

Mobile network state: Disconnected

Thank you very much for your help though. You're helping to clarify a lot of the confusion.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
+1 same exact scenario here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
OKey guys. Let tell me which steps do you use when flashing ROM. And which build are you flash? About activation - I had same problem with CM10 build. But in AOKP last builds I don't have activation issues.

And about US Cellular - There is an option in Options Chooser 3. DO you tick US Cellular fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] schale01:
Yep Same here, I didn't notice immediately because I was on WiFi. I Restored back to Stock using this CWM Backup (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32624239&postcount=803 ) 3G was restored. Tried reflashing just Milestone1, No Data connection. I then flashed the 20121028 build and Data works just fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I restored a previous build of AOKP and got my 3g back. I flashed only Milestone with nothing else. Rebooted, no data. I tried using different Build.Prop from the earlier version that was working in case it was somewhere in there. Nope. Not sure what is wrong. I do believe something is strange.

I am on AOKP 10/28/2012 version with a Milestone 1 over top of it and no data when rebooted.

i tried with ROM Options the new, the old style. With Options chooser 3.

Wiped clean with Milestone 1. New Rom Options, Options chooser 3

Rom Options - CDMA Tweaked

EMMC

No USSC

No go.

That is why I tried Milestone 1 over my working with nothing else flashed. No 3g, data.

Hope this helps. If I have to get you something else, let me know how and what, more then willing.

I am on Sprint, CDMA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
I can now verify the data problems with Milestone 1.

I did a full wipe and only flashed the MS1 ROM from Jokers V3 recovery. Nothing else.

No mobile data on Sprint.

Something appears to be borked on MS1, but I'm sure it'll be a simple fix. Either wait for Th3Bill to fix it, or flash something else.

I'll now returning to my regularly scheduled programming... Paranoid Android 2.16.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I have a theory. You say you're on The3Bill's recovery and I'm assuming this old backup was made from a different recovery.

Try reinstalling the old recovery, then restore the backup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e1cadet13:
Thank you very much for all the help. It definitely helps knowing that this problem is not just affecting my MOPHO.

Flashed back to 10/28. Phone is contacting Google right now. I see a little 1X, hope that will turn into a 3G when I step out of the office.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
after doing the ROMOptions, need to do the *#*#4636#*#* and make sure it's set to GSM auto prl
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Sorry about that boys and girls. I actually just realized that since I had dirty flashed over 10.28 I wasn't seeing the issue. I have the wrong libmotoril.so in the ROM. I'll be uploading it shortly. It should po up on the devices as being an OTA update :D Give me about 20 minutes

EDIT:

It's up ladies and gents :D

Thanks for your patience, and enjoy the ride
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Just downloaded the updated ROM and flashed it after flashing full wipe zip, alongwith ROMOPTIONS (GSM Fix Tweaks + Primary SD Card + Non USSC) and then the Options chooser. But unfortunately it's still the same, it still on CDMA mode asking for Activation. I checked *#*#4636#*#* and it's set on GSM auto prl.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
oh snap...I know what I did....you need a different ril. duh...lol

I just uploaded fixed ROMOptions. It's got the proper ril in it. Went to a new setup for the CDMA/GSM/tweaks....growing pains when we change things...eh? :D

Let me know how it goes
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Didn't work after flashing the repaired ROMOPTIONS too :(

Could this be happening because of TWRP recovery (v2.3.1.0) that I'm using?

I'll post screenshots in a while which may help just in case I'm doing anything wrong, which I'm sure I'm not :)

Haven't had a chance to try this yet but it may work for this rom. I'll report later! Newest JB Camera from 4.2 <-- doesn't work just a white screen...
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
Just saw that on Engadget and thought about asking TheBill if he happened to be (or planned on) working on it...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I am very smart. I actually had the GSM tweaked script correct and the standard GSM one wrong...LOL It was still leaving phone with defauly.telephony of 4 instead of 0, which is correct for GSM.

Updated one that should work correctly is up. SOrry about this guys....lol

Th3Bill, any chances of us getting 4.2 in the near future? :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] lilila:
That really helped me out with all the new JB/CM10/Miui Builds. Finally my GSM works after flashing the GSM fix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Yes, this worked!!! Thanks!!! I'm sure Th3Bill will have a look at this ZIP in order to fix the issue with ROMOPTIONS :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
I'm getting a sync error with the Browser app under Settings/Accounts/Google. I've tried rechecking the sync setting, clearing app cache and data, and reinstalling gapps and wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The issue is that I'm not looking to have to edit 4 build.props for every release I do for the Photon. I'm trying to make this universal. When someone said that they flashed the latest one...did you do it dirty of wipe all?

I am working to make scripts so that I don't have to re-edit all the build.props and remake the romoptions every time I do a release.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
I didn't try a dirty flash as I was coming from MIUI, so I flashed FullWipe.zip and then flashed AOKP, ROMOPTIONS (latest) and OPTIONSCHOOSER and it didn't work.

It's only after I flashed GSM.zip posted by MIONS and I got the GSM signal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
weird thing...edited post, and it duplicated it...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Can you do me a favor? I just upped a new ROMOptions attempt. Can you do a full wipe flash of it and see if it works? I don't have Photon with me for the next couple of days (daughter with the grandparents for a couple, and Photon is her phone...LOL)

I appreciate it.

The problem with flashing his edit is that it will knock out the update for the GooManager, as it's showing a build date of 10.11. I'm trying to get this corrected so that I don't have to have everyone download a new ROMOptions with every build as well...if that makes sense :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Sure! Give me a few minutes and I'll update this post after trying the new ROMOPTIONS with a full wipe flash.

For the build date thingy, I restored build.prop from your ROM zip after changing ro.telephony to 0, and it now shows correct build info and GSM stayed too :)

----------------

Just tried with latest ROMOPTIONS and it didn't work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
It also didnt work with me
