Hey guys , hope everyone is doing fine

I just got a hdmi cable , and while i was using some of my apps i noticed the sound coming out of the speaker of the phone , not the tv , and i cant find an option on settings to let audio pass on hdmi :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Settings/advanced/use HDMI for audio
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
I cant find the advanced settings , its supposed to be on devices right ? Last option but its not , weird
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
Hey guys. Is there any way to remove the SMS message indicator? I like receiving only a blinking led notification.
[Motorola Photon 4G] topherrjames:
Like getting rid of the sound/vibrate for SMS? Go into the settings in the messaging app and choose silent under ringtone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Sounds great! I'll have to backup everything and try it again with a full wipe and see what happens then. Anyone know what's different from this and the 3.0 b version? The OP doesn't say or I missed it somewhere.

I'm not seeing that either, bud. There is no advanced.

Edit: I did the update and restored all my apps and settings. Seems to be working alright now. I reboot the phone twice and I don't have to pull the battery because it isn't getting stuck anymore. Thank you for confirming it works, bytethegroove! One thing I noticed that isn't working is the custom background for the lock screen and notifications. What happens is I choose one, apply it and then it seems to be applying... the screen flickers once, then I check for the changes and nothing as been applied. Any ideas? Do the images need to be in a specific directory for this to work or?

P.S. I see that Th3Bill wrote "It's updated to the latest CM10 from the other day." So what I'm understanding is that this is version 3.0 b plus the latest CM10 over it. Don't see a difference yet, but I'll poke around and see what I can find. Thank you, Th3Bill!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
No likr removing the indicator.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I'm assuming that you wanna know if it is possible to entirely remove the SMS/MMS notification? Like so it doesn't show in the status bar period?

I think in order to do that you would probably have to decompile the framework and make the SMS/MMS notification transparent...
[Motorola Photon 4G] topherrjames:
Well you can uncheck the box next to notifications in the messaging app, but you won't get any notifications at all for SMS, including the blinking light.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Is it safe and would it be useful to try and use something like Pimp My ROM with your ROM? Your ROM is running so good that I'm wondering if all these 'tweaks' are already included with your ROM.

Don't know if using such a tool would even help it or break it? What do you think?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I think some of those tweaks are already in Bill's ROMs, but surely not all of them. I imagine it would take a lot of testing.

I for one would love the inverted Gapps. They all look great in CannonROM (CM9-based) except Google Now. I love black apps, but Google Now just looks awkward. (And it doesn't work like it should in that ROM, to boot.) I mean, at least as an option. I don't think it saves any battery life (we don't have Samsung's AMOLED screens) but it sure looks better at night.
[Motorola Photon 4G] myfocusw7:
I installed this ROM...though intially it worked fine but now it keeps on rebooting after restarting and gets stuck on the swager boot animation.

Any idea whats wrong? I did Full wipe before installing the ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Not sure what's causing it, but if you read a few posts back, that very same thing was happening to me. What I did was restore to my version 3.0 nandroid backup. I created a Titanium backup of all my apps and created a Nova Launcher backup. Then I flashed version 4.0 and during the setup, I wiped everything. After it booted up, it worked fine so I did a couple of reboot test just to be sure. Since I was able to boot successfully, I then reported back here to let everyone know that its working fine. It seems you just need to ensure that you wipe everything and you should be good to go. :good:

One other thing I forgot to mention; this time around, I used jokersax 1.3 Kernel instead of the 1.4. Not sure if that's the problem there, but I would try the 1.3 Kernel and see how that does. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
1.3 kernel is fine, clocked to 1 though. ROM is running great. Sometimes the battery indicator disappears...no biggie. Reboot fixes it. No transition jitters...Thanks for all the hard work Th3Bill! :thumbup:
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Is anyone able to set a custom background for the notifications pull-down menu on version 4.0?

When I try to do it, ROM Control crashes.

I've tried putting pictures in:

/sdcard/Pictures

or

/storage/sdcard0/Pictures

and

/storage/sdcard1/Pictures

but none of these directories will work. I even tried rebooting the phone to make sure it does a media scan, and even tried to manually do a media scan using an app called SDrescan. Seems no matter what I do, the pictures aren't found when I try to choose one with the Gallery, so instead of using the Gallery, I tried choosing a picture with Ghost Commander, but as soon as I choose the wallpaper I like, ROM control force closes. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I believe in order for it to work, you have to choose a background from within the Gallery. By the sounds, you having issues with images showing in Gallery?

If so, try clearing data on Media Storage at <Settings <Apps <All. Then reboot into recovery and wipe /cache and /dalvik cache.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Tried what you suggested and now when I open the gallery, I don't see anything at all. Before I tried what you said, I was able to see one picture in the gallery. it was a picture I took with the camera app. Now it doesn't even show that? This is really weird.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You might wanna check the root of your sdcard and internal storage for .nomedia files because your pictures/images should show in Gallery.

Also, you gotta give the Gallery a minute or two after you reboot to build up the media cache before it'll show your media files there...
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I tried all that it still doesn't work. Do you have it working on yours? I wasn't able to find any .nomedia files. I searched everything from root /.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Well you wouldn't wanna delete every .nomedia file on your device but regardless, you didn't find any.

To be honest, I'm not currently running AOKP so I can't confirm nor deny that it works. I do know for a fact that the feature did work on a previous build.

I think I'm gonna load up the latest build so I can help you debug this situation and maybe then we can pass along a fix (or at least a logcat) to Th3Bill. So, give me a little bit and I'll be back when I got it setup and running :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I appreciate your will to help, but I think that before you go through the trouble, I ought to back up everything important to my SD card, then remove the SD card, and wipe/format all of the phone's internal memory. It looks like a mess to me. I'm finding copies of the same directories in all three branches /sdcard/, /storage/sdcard0/ and /storage/sdcard1/.

So I think that I should start all over. Wipe all, then flash the ROM again, then try to put the custom background on.

I also know for a fact that it worked in an older build, because I even took screen-shots and shared with friends. If you weren't already planning to flash this ROM, don't bother just yet. Please wait until I do what I said above and report back. I don't want you to go messing with your phone for something that isn't that important to begin with, bro. It's cool. It's just a background - you know?

I understand you want to help just as much as the next guy, but let me see if this is a problem on my end before we go tinkering with your phone - okay? :)

I'll let you know if I find it is still borked after I wipe everything out. Thanks for responding, man! I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Glad I looked here first, I was legit about to flash lol.

But anyway, the /sdcard folder is typically the same as /storage/sdcard0 just so you know.

FYI, I don't mind flashing different ROMs as I do anyway! Sometimes I stick to one for a little while but usually flash a rom at least once per update so that I can help others when/if they have issues :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Ya, das cool. Just sayin' you don't need to mess with yours just for a wallpaper. I mean the ROM is kick-ass. Nothing really wrong with it. But like you said, you know that background worked in an older build so that's why I'm trying to figure out what's wrong here. No big thang. I'll do all the clean up and flashing later on tonight. Right now I'm just kicking it having some drinks so I'll get back at cha later :highfive:
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
It worked for me. No FC on ROM control.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Game FC's

Hi guys, not sure if you've tried Plague, Inc. yet. It was working on I think the 8/29 build (yeah it's taken me this long to update and flash the latest AOKP ROM..LOL) but it seems to FC upon opening. I've attached the logcat here if it helps! Thanks again to the devs! :highfive:
[Motorola Photon 4G] myfocusw7:
How do I enable USB Mass storage mode? It automatically sets to Charge only mode when the USB is connected to the phone, with no option to choose Mass Storage:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Strange...USB storage works. Both internal and external SD card show up. Did you choose either SD Card or EMMC as primary during flash? I tried to take a screen shot while USB was connected, but it didn't work. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] myfocusw7:
Chose SD Card
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Hmmm...not sure...both internal and external showed up on my computer.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimzp:
I tried this and it didn't work.....flash was aborted.....but it probably was something I did ;)

Anyone else try ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tw1ztidmopho:
Thanks Bill I've set my unicorn free and turned on my swagger, loving AOKP. I've only ever used cm and few others like Icarus in the past and this takes the cake.

What is the difference between the two kernels? I wasn't sure what to choose on a couple things.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Hey, thanks for offering to help. I tried formatting everything and re-flashing the ROM like I said and it is working now. I could apply a custom background on my notifications screen now. There were probably files conflicting all over the place. Everything seems to be fine now.

Thanks again for all your help!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
No problem! I'm glad you got everything working and are now good to go! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sezbad:
I've unlocked and installed this ROM and all the apps. Now i need to move this phone to a different Sprint phone number.

None of the ##DATA# or ##MSL# etc.. work.. to reprogram and update the phone numbers.

Can someone guide me on how to reprogram the phone to a different sprint number, with the custom Rom installed.

TIA..
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
I believe you will have to reflash to stock rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] myfocusw7:
I dont know what was the problem..but I reflashed the ROM with 1.3 kernel and now both Internal and External storage show up:good:

But I'm now facing a new problem.On enabling 3G/2G Data, I'm getting this random popups with nothing but just an OK button:confused: and it gets really annoying at certain times:rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I was having all sorts of little weird things going on with this ROM too, but after I backed up everything I needed, I formatted the SD Card and the EMMC. Then I flashed the ROM again and everything works the way it should. You might have some files on your EMMC or SD Card that are conflicting with each other.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
New Build is UP

It's built from source. It's not really build 4. It's based on last night's most current edits from AOKP source

Wifi tethering works...I'm actually posting this from my phone's internet connection.

Camera has some jitters after taking picture, but other than that, has been really smooth so far.

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Thanks Th3Bill! What about the Video Camera? Is it still the same?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Vid cam will be same until we can get drivers. Unfortunate fact of Moto sucking at supporting us....LOL

On a good note, I'm downloading what I am hoping is a leaked flash image of ICS for Atrix that EPinter got a leak of. That might have what we need to fix...

HOLD OFF ON THIS FOR NOW>...has a couple bugs I need to fix...mainly reboot options just cause a hot-reboot.

I'll re-upload once I get it fixed. Sorry about that.

[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
I have lost my toggles. I check auto hide toggles to see what I did. I unchecked it, they came back but disappeared. I've tried everything even flashing the from again, with out wiping, and they will not return.

try wiping systemui data in the apps section of settings :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] andreiciu:
Hello TH3Bill and congratulations on your commitment to keeping this great rom. I live in Italy and use GSM networks, I have a problem with some applications (GO launcher EX ,Viber Quickpic.. Dolphin browser Gmail and more. The play store says "your device is not compatible with this version" only happens with this rom and also AOKPB would like to know why, and what can I do to solve this problem thanks. sorry for my english (google translator:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you're using titanium to restore them, then that could be the problem. Some of the latest versions are not yet AOKP, MIUI compatible even though they are AOSP and CM9 compatible.

Gmail is working 100% on my phone. I just downloaded Dolphin from the market and it's working just fine.

If you use titanium, download the app from the market, then restore DATA ONLY afterward :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] andreiciu:
Perhaps you did not understand, the market does not make me install I can only do this with Aptoide, or restore from titanium

the market tells me that the version of the application is not supported, can be a regional thing? also because other ROMs do not have this probblema. anyone who uses the GSM has had this problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
This is my favorite ics rom so far but my only problem -In kitchen sink the tablet mod causes the phone app and I think messaging to crash when any call or text is placed or received any fixes for this? Works fine until I turn that dpi down to 144

[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
Forced stopped, data and cache were greyed out. Also tried flashing again with system wipe....still no toggles.

Sent from my Electrify
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Maybe try installing using the tweaked GSM. I know that one seems to help with some of the issues that come in certain areas :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Haven't gotten to that point. I still have a few bugs I'm working out both with my build PC as well as my ROM. Once those are hashed out, I'll be back on adding features like that :)

But in answer to what you were mentioning..yes it was Phone.apk. I believe I actually have the modified apk that didn't fc, so I can apply that fix to the current one....but that's for a little while away.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Look for other settings things (unicornporn, etc). It's in the data...not system. These apps save the custom info (settings, etc) to /data. I know you don't want to wipe that entire partition, so just try wiping the things that are NOT your apps you need the settings, etc from.

I would be more help if I'd had more time to play with the build. I have done 5 ports in a days time, and had to quick test each one before release. This one, I'm still learning what is what, so it will take me a little time to get fully up to speed with what is what. Once I do, I'll be better off to help you :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] swuln:
Does anyone else have a problem with their phone randomly rebooting and hanging at the moto splash screen .. Its happened on aokp and miui ... Seems to happen when the phone goes into stand by
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Haven't had a random reboot yet on this. Did you do any themes? That might be the issue. I haven't really worked too much with this build yet, but I know that on the previous build done by spleef, themes sometimes caused random reboots
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
Tried all I could find....no change. Everything else works fine except the pop up issue that's already been raised. No biggie. I'll leave it lije it is and wait for the next build. Good work!! Thanks!!

Sent from my Electrify
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
do you know where the settings are kept in /data/ for themes? for example, say i try a theme that makes me bootloop, is there a file i could delete via aroma file manager or droid explorer that would set it back to the default theme, or is my only solution to factory reset / restore backup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] swuln:
No didnt do any themes ... It happend on both but now that im thinking about it it happend more on miui.. Im going to start over .. must have been something I did wrong..

That's so July 8. LOL!

I'm working on it now
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Woah! After all of our (semi)patient waiting, could this finally be what we have been waiting for?!?! :highfive:

Also, I asked about this a while back but never got an answer. Yes I have ran searches so excuse me if this has already been answered... But the phone will more often than not reboot when I select USB Mass Storage mode on my PC and will not mount. This has been the case with every cm10 version I have tried since the beginning. I assume it has to do with the sdcard and emmc not being mounted in the same manner as previous Android versions. Has there been any progress with this issue? Everyone else is experiencing this as well? I suppose rebooting to recovery and mounting USB storage isnt that irritating but if anyone has come across anything that helps with this then id love to know. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I thought someone had answered you already. USB Mass Storage mode works perfectly. The problem you're experiencing has to be on your end. Are you running the latest version of this ROM or are you talking about the old one from months ago? I do remember that USB Mass storage wasn't working at one point, but there have been a few releases with working USB Mass Storage mount.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Carlosmadiam:
On mine I have to disable Android debugging on development tools

Sent from My Electrify Telcel Mexico
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
This may work for those who cannot get USB Mass Storage activated. Go to Settings -> Storage. Press Options and then select 'USB Computer Connection'.

Make sure 'Mass Storage' is ticked there.

EDIT: Not sure if this option exists in AOKP. It's there in CM10 though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I meant to say every version of JB, not just cm. I went back and checked my post and posts following mine but didn't see where I was answered. Must have been more than three pages after my post as that is as far as I checked. And yes for whatever reason it happens with the most recent sourcebuild cm10 and I will check the sourcebuild of aokp when bill reups. If something is awry ill try what Carlos and Android said. Thanks for the replies.

Frankenphone

Does the ics leak mean that we'll still have a ported version of 4.1? Th3Bill rocks at custom ROMs but i wouldn't mind if he had an official AOKP release to KANG from!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sezbad:
Which stock rom should i use to reflash? is it easy to come back to this rom?

do i have to unlock and go through all the steps again?

i'm not very good with this stuff and got to this point very slowly and now it sucks to have to go back to stock just to have the number reprogrammed!

really no other options??

thx.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm not porting anymore. I'm building these from source on the releases that are done from here on out. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Are you on Sprint with the photon? I have a stock Rom Nandroid.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I must say, I have never seen anyone excel at development so fast in just a little over 6 months. Its a mighty impressive feat. Congrats on achieving your source building and thank you for how much you do for us. I look forward to see what great things might come from this leak.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimzp:
I agree....thank you so much !!!!! :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I found the updated option chooser but I can't seem to locate the 10-09-12 build of the ROM. I've looked through the thread from the point you mention that it was posted and can't see anything about where to find it other then goo.im and it only shows 2.0 - 4.0. I just love your updates and can't wait to flash it! Thanks again for all the hard work your ROMs keep my love of the Photon going and going and going... you get the idea!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll be re-uploading the rom around 9 tonight. It's VERY smooth so far :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Damn you're quick!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Side question : Are you planning on sticking with the Photon for awhile or are you going to be moving to a new device? Also if you do change devices you should make a mention of which one so your loyal followers can keep up with your work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm sticking with it for a while. My 12 year old wants me to keep the phone and give it to her. Since both my wife and I are due for upgrades in Jan, I'll probably upgrade my wife's Photon to what she wants, give my daughter the Photon, and see where I stand then. I don't see anything out there yet that makes me want to jump from my loved Gorilla-Glassed beauty :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok...it's funally up!

Working reboot options.

So far, I would consider this to be the smoothest JB ROM I've done.

I took out the HWA Settings stuff, as I really didn't feel they did all that much when I used it.

Minor Cam stutter after taking a photo.

CHEERS!

Works perfect with Options Chooser V3​
[Motorola Photon 4G] sezbad:
Yes.. i'm still on Sprint. Can you please point me to a link where i can download and flash a stock rom, and hopefully it also preserves my unlocked boot and root. do you know? thx. because.. i would like to just change the programmed number and then quickly come back to this rom.

it really sucks to lose all my apps and settings and have to resintall. but if that's what i have to do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
-make a nandroid backup of your current rom

-wipe and flash a stock based rom. I use MOF 2.3.5ish

-boot the stock rom, make all the changes you need to

-make a nandroid backup of your stock rom for future use

-restore your nandroid back of your current rom

-profit

Edit: Just remembered that MOF's roms require you to flash a stock kernel, if you don't start from stock. You may want to find another option. Perhaps the hybrid stock/CM7 rom? I've never used it personally, so I'm not sure it can use the programming codes.

My phone tastes like jelly beans!
