Apologies if you thought that was a complaint. It wasn't meant that way.

I've tried everything I know to save battery on the milestone version. I don't know what else to try. Usually, I can find something to read that helps, or mess with the settings and get some improvement, but that hasn't helped this time. In fact, most of the changes I've tried to make have made things worse, not better.

I haven't followed the development of JB at all, and was just asking where it was in the process. If it came out differently than that, I do apologize.

That being said, thrash away if it makes you feel better. It won't bother me at all. As others have said, I am grateful that I can benefit from your hobby. I do appreciate your effort and I do realize how much time this takes.

PS - I wondered what that pain was in the side of my head last night as I went to bed. I guess it was you high fiving me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Lmfao! Bro...you just gave me a huge laugh with your PS.

No problem. If you're looking for best batt life jb ROM...go with cna. I was on it for 12 hours and had 51% left. Granted that was with light use...but its better than the rest by a bit.

Right now...keeping screen timeout to 30 seconds will help a LOT with batt life. Due to us just getting set up w jb, the screen still kills battery quick. It shouldn't take long for it to be improved. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Build 7 is UP :)

Has a few extra Rom Control options

Cheers! :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
more than cna?
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Any more stability added?

Sent from my MB855
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
Stability? I think these builds are more stable than the ICS builds. I've had 0 issues with all the JB roms
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
CNA still has more lockscreen options and has screenshot. AOKP has some other nice options, too. Personally, if you're looking for battery life, go with CNA.

All of the JB roms are stable save for a few bugs:

1) Camera preview a little stuttery (getting better with each build...but due to libs)

2) USB storage only mounts internal memory on PC (JB issue)

3) Flash isn't supported yet (JB issue)

4) Wifi tether not working yet (Barnacle is included in ALL my builds, and DOES work 100%)

5) Data at times seems to be less stable

6) Less options implemented at this time due to newness of the source.

Advantages over ICS:

1) Browser rotation works

2) Data speed seems faster

3) Seems a bit smoother overall
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Screenshot works pressing power+vol down :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
On AOKP? Excellent! Now I can put on some Screenies of it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
Any luck with MMS receive on build 7? or is that on Joker's end?
[Motorola Photon 4G] rockytruelyrox:
I am not trying to set a fire or debate. I am just glad to see even after having push email to phone and things like whatapp. We are working on fully enabling mms :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
volume rockey wake?

I cant find it anywhere... is it not on this build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
some options not integrated into AOKP yet...
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
I will be contributing Tacos Al Carbon funds in soon enough.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That place kicks a$$. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
I too would love to know the answer to this question.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scotchligo:
CNA battery must be fantastic. I plugged my phone in today after 15 hours and it was at 38%. I didn't use many apps, but I made 5-6 phone calls as well as some texting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Fixed USB to PC Mount. BOTH storages (EMMC AND SD CARD) now mount to PC via USB

Fix is up on Jokersax.com

Cheers!
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I have messed up my Virtual Ubuntu Box by trying to update Ubuntu and I don't want to make all the setup again. ;)

You guys are doing it much better than I. And I don't think, there could be better kernel than the one from faux. You are using it, aren't you?

I am still waiting (hoping) for Moto ICS. Until then I am staying with my rom, it's the best. :P (joking) :)

And will be reviving dead Photons. :)

But I tried CM10 and it looks very nice.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've been there with a borked installation...managed to somehow half-install Opensuse one day...wouldn't boot, but encrypted my home drive...screwed up all the permissions on all my files. Managed to get em back, but had a hell of a time.

I'm using whichever one Joker ships with his CM10 builds right now, as being on vacation, I don't have the internet speed to try anything source-related just yet....doing tether via Phone (100kps...YAY!)

I haven't tried your rom (kinda bailed on GB roms once I got into ICS/JB work :) )

If you do make a kernel for it, let me know...I'll give it a run :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
It seems like a nice rom, but I'm gonna chill with miui 2.8.3 until mms is working and the data is completely stable.

Also is the rom using that new camera I keep hearing about? Completely shutter less and really smooth?

If not ill just figure out how to get the new evo white camera app

Cuddles here~
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The camera works well on the latest build. On CNA there is a mild stutter, but I was on this build 2 days ago and enjoyed the camera. It's still not 100% with the hardware button and flash timing, but that's a small issue.

People with camera preview lag can do the following to improve it's performance:

1) open camera

2) press home button

3) long press home button and swipe away camera

4) repeat steps 1-3 4 or 5 times

Don't ask me why it helps, but it does smoothen it out...LOL

MMS works on Electrify....haven't had a report on GSM yet. I'm thinking it's something with the IP address for MMS access to Sprint, as it hangs trying to link to it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Just had to re-do the USB Dual storage edit...I had borked it so that USB storages didn't properly remount to the phone after. I have corrected it. :)

New fix up on Jokersax.com (same link)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Build 8 is up on Jokersax.com

Mostly Rom Control Options

Smooth so far

I think someone said Torch wasn't working....it's an option for the notification area...works 100%

FIXED​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
MMS also SENDS AND RECEIVES!!!1​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Wasn't able to turn it off before cuz you had left out the apk lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The apk isn't needed. It's built into the rom....it turned off just fine on my phone last night when I was using it...I'm currently on this build...

Someone was saying before that it wasn't working at all...
[Motorola Photon 4G] tetrabyt:
Cdma. Also getting an settings fc when I try going to mobile networks.

Tried the stock cdma and the tweaked cdma. No service. Just like in joker's 0.7. Without the phone fc on start.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try going into Phone, do *#*#4636#*#* and select Phone Info. Make sure that it says CDMA auto. Then reboot.

Question...what wipe did you do when you came to this build...and what build did you come from? I would recommend a full wipe on this one regardless of whether you were on AOKP before, as it's a different base (including android version), as well as 2 releases of AOKP later.

If that doesn't work, try flashing twice with the second being a NO WIPE flash :)

BTW Mobile networks in settings works just fine for me, and I am on this exact version and file :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tetrabyt:
Didn't do any wipe until I was inside the aroma install. And only did a system wipe. I came from spleef's aokpcb. Gonna try a full wipe. Brb.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's why settings and other things are FC-ing. Need to do full wipe, unfortunately. He was using a mish-mash of libs, etc to get it to work. I use framework edits to get it to work.

If you only wipe System, that leaves all the system app data behind from AOKPCB, which will cause things to work really screwey in AOKP, as while they are similar, they're not exact same.

Back up stuff with Titanium, do full wipe, my friend :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tetrabyt:
You were right ... had to re-activate. But the full wipe worked.. thank you. I really appreciate your help and work.

PS. I hate titanium.. I'll just install all 6000 apps off the market.. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
The stupid download keeps failing. I've tried about 5 times now on my pc. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Why am I not seeing a Photon link on the AOKP site?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
thanks bill, for picking up my slack, you're really a great friend, unfortunately it looks like im going to have to retire in a manner of speaking, life has taken over, and I really can't say when its going to slow down.....

trying to save up to finish remodeling the house I am buying....plus the usual crap life throws at you....sorry to briefly hijack but just wanted to pop in and give a thanks to you bill and kind of give you guys a little bit of whats going on.....glad you picked aokp up was a great build should try paranoid its my second fav....any how thanks for everything guys and ill be popping in from time to time, peace out......
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I haven't contacted them about my build yet. I want to get a little feedback. They have Spleef as the guy, but since my boy's stepped out for a minute, I'm doing the build :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Where are people getting the download that are posting about flashing and issues?
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Alright, thus far, I have noticed 3 bugs. 1 is bigger/more important than the others.

Bug 1: Pop ups. What do I mean by a pop up? See the screen shot:

This pop up is when I was trying to set a ring tone for text messages, through zedge. The problems are: A: when I scroll down, so as to see more tones, I don't see it scrolling, but it scrolls. I know this because when I press a ring tone, it is really playing one that is further down the list, thus, scrolling worked.

B: 50% of the time I open said pop up, I can't 'check' anything on the list. By 'check' I mean select, so as to set a ring tone, or setting.

I also experienced this with toggles, in settings, and other pop ups, even sharing pop ups:

The second bug is not as major. It is more of an annoyance than a problem. When I try to update some apps, such as Rom Manager, terminal emulater, and Nova launcher, they are signed incorrectly, and I must un-install, reboot, and re-install.

Bug 3: in YouTube, while a video is playing, if I switch the orientation from portrait to landscape, the UI gets a little messed up. Screen shot below:

As you can see, the play button, the seek bar, and the HD button are gone, and the title is darkened.

The only reason I'm reporting this bug here, and not to YouTube, is because I didn't experience this on build 39.

Hope it all helps improve the ROM, and if I didn't make something clear, let me know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Please people...I am not looking to have to download 100 apps to test and logcat and debug each one. If you read the OP, I clearly ask for logcats so that I don't have to spend all day cluttering up my phone with apps I don't use (like zedge, youtube, etc) so that I can figure out the issue. A well done logcat can give me that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I said any pop up. One that is built in that doesn't work well: Rom control>toggles>enabled toggles.

Screenshot below:

And I'll pull some log cats
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll look at it....just realized the issue...sorry bout that. I have been trying to do this and MIUI at same time. I think I have a good log of it. I downloaded zedge at first and was like "This looks totally nothing like what his screen shows". Then I realized that I haven't ever used AOKP before, so I'm not familiar with all of it...still a learning process for me on this one. I like it, but it's definitely a different animal
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I am working on the scrolling issue. It's weird...there is no error of any type in the log. I'm trying to figure out what is causing it. If you open the pop-up and scroll softly and don't hit the edge, it will continue to scroll back and forth, but if I go really fast, it freezes...I'm going to have to look at this a little more
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
Is theme Chooser working in this build? It wasn't on the last one spleef did.

[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
Can someone please post a third party mirror of the current build (if thats ok with you bill... )

I've been trying to download this for the past 2 hours and it keeps getting interrupted..
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Did you pull the ROM? I get 404 Not Found
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The link is between post 14 and 20 if I remember correctly. Joker's working on the site, so I posted a link there
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Th3Bill, you are the man! I'm glad you, if anyone, were the one to pick up where spleef left off! Spleef has done some awesome work and contributed a lot of roms to the community! I've used your MIUI.us official port and that rom is amazing! Personally I like to bounce between roms and I'm happy to see you were the one to pick this up!

I'll be downloading shortly and will report any findings!

Any chance you'll be picking up AOKPCB and Paranoid too? Unrelated, I know. Just curious...

PS... I see joker updated his website! That explains the Maintenance update haha. Looks good :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Oh OK . Idk when I was on the first version of 6 or 7 I turned on torch through the toggle and it wouldn't turn off. Fixed it when I put the apk back in. Lol maybe it was a one time thing cuz I don't use torch much
[Motorola Photon 4G] CapnCrunchey:
I flashed the newest ROM and I still can't receive MMS
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
Great job on getting the mms working! Is the customizable lock screen shortcuts not available? They work in jokers base.

I'd still take working mms anyday.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
Noticed while playing Google music if you power down the device I get a restart. I did a work around by setting screen auto shutdown to 30 min
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Awwww man, I want a working browser. LOL :D Great job anyway Th3Bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Just jumped from CNA to AOKP Build 8...

I confirm working MMS on a fresh install!!! Yay :D lol

Also, I gotta be honest... I'm impressed with the amount of options there is now compared to Build 4. Build 4 was the last version of AOKP I used ha. Been on CNA since its release!

I'm thinking I'm gonna stay on each rom for a couple/few days that way I can give a fair report on each rom.

One thing I noticed tho, is now I think I know what was different on CNA and why I couldn't get MMS working, even with the fix! I'll go back there eventually but with a fresh start again soon!

For now, I'm sticking here on AOKP!!

Great job man as always! I dunno how you do it but keep doing what you do! It is much appreciated!

Also, another thing I noticed since Build 4 is the Browser Options. There is now a Home button and Incognito Tab, along with New Tab and Bookmarks! Reason I looked is cuz someone mentioned they wanted a working Browser? I'm assuming that was sarcasm?!
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
No, I wanted browser rotation now that the MMS works. LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] CapnCrunchey:
Browser rotation works. It has since they started the JB roms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You're joking right?!

Browser rotation has been working on ALL Jelly Bean builds since the beginning!
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Oh my goodness........ I didn't know this!!! LOL, I was reading about all the Motorola Lib issues in the release. But that was ICS >_< my bad. Wonder if I can get this on GSM when I get my sim. Sorry LOL

EDIT: Found out that this can be used on a GSM network. My bad guys, thanks again. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I think the fix needs to be flashed and have data wiped...that makes it so that the phone reloads all the data (like a fresh install) properly. The fix was actually really easy. I basically did an edit in the framework-res to allow the phone to see the 4 CDMA dialup networks that we use for stuff like MMS. :) I actually figured it out when I started pulling apart the only phone that seemed to have CDMA and working MMS in it (Galaxy Nexus). I was searching for what might help fix anything, and when I saw the lines, I said "It can't be that simple"...but as it turns out...it IS. LOL

I have to fix my OPs now, as I am back home with my good internet access and have the ability to upload without using a Phont tether...LOL

First, I promised my friends on the Infuse that I would bring them a port of CNA, so I have to do that, then I will be updating OPs :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
Just flashed build 8 and so far it looks good. Great job bill!

I did notice that there was no option to add shortcuts to the lock screen. I'm assuming that will integrated in the future.....or is it supposed to be there?

Also the weather icon on the lock screen just shows n/a.

[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Just FYI...I noticed when I turned animation duration off the scrolling stutter went away :D

EDIT: running aokp build 8
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
New to AOKP. I saw the kernel in the screenshot says 3.x; it's the same Froyo kernel as in the other JB ROMs. Not complaining; I was told that's not a problem.

What is the Swagger toggle? Same thing as "Awesomeness Detection" in Rockband 2? (That is, a placebo -- a random option with no code attached to it, for the amusement and speculation of the user?)

Screenshots don't work as reported (earlier on this page, as power+volume down) in Build 8. At least not on Electrify. But there's a lot of Photon-only stuff, like voice dialer, saying "Open APNs", the *#*# code, that doesn't work on Electrify.

As for MMS, I rarely get them, but I received notification of one when I had Joker's CM10, and it's not showing up under AOKP either, at least not with Contapps or the stock messaging app.

Tried to connect Bluetooth, same earpiece I used in CM10/other ROMs, and it said it failed due to a PIN/passcode mismatch. Never seen that error before. Unpairing it and repairing it got it working.

I will try CNA as well, but I'm gonna give AOKP a few days to settle in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Is it safe to say this ROM is working 100% except for the normal ICS/JB camera issues which requires use of Videocam Illusion?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Car dock audio is still wonky. As far as I know all the JB builds have this issue.

I've flashed every build by every developer, replaced files, reset permissions, run logcats. I'm wondering if it's a kernel issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
SDCard

Thanks for AOKP. But it seem maybe sdcards changes their places :) Because after installing this AOKP (Build 8) over Jokersax CM10 beta 0.1.2 without full wipe (only wiped dalvik and cache) some apps can't start. And it seems some settings in ROM Control is disappeared. What is the reason ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
I'm on the electrify. Screenshots work for me with power+volume down. "Open apns" through voice dialer works and the *#*#4636#*#* works.

Sent from my Electrify
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
That's what's good! I'm glad it was something easy and I had faith you'd figure it out! You always do!

No rush on anything man, you've been on vacation and just got back home! We ain't going anywhere, besides, you've been cranking out rom after rom, update after update! Hook up the peeps on the Infuse! I'd imagine they'll be appreciative!!

Yes, this rom is working nearly 100%, even with working MMS! The Camera works great and yes, you will want to use a Video solution for now...

Screenshots do NOT work for me via Power+VolDown. At least not with a fresh install. I'm willing to bet you flashed over CM10 with maybe only wiping cache/dalvik?
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
In AOKP your internal storage is considered the default location for apps. CM10 defaults to using your SD Card (although there is an option to change it)

To get your install working you will need to edit /etc/vold.fstab to swap sdcard0 and sdcard1
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Weirdest thing...

Somehow, I WAS just able to take a screenshot of the lock screen using the Power+VolDown method...but it wasn't that easy! I'm gonna try and figure out EXACTLY how I did it because I've yet to be able to repeat it on the home screen or anywhere else...yet?!!

**UPDATE**

Got it working 100% of the time! I think you gotta make sure you press and hold Power+VolDown at the exact same moment (or you end up with the Volume slider in the shot!)

Here is the proof :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
Thanks a lot, man. I know that I need swap sdcards but didn't know how do it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] guilzom:
OTA updates

Are you planning to implement OTA updates on any of your ROMS ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Have you figured it out? If not, follow these steps below...

- First, always make sure you have a Nandroid backup when messing with system files! If you mess something up, its NOT my fault! Just saying!!

- Second, you made a backup, right?! Or at least have a recent one in case something stupid happens?

• Ok, download the zip file at this link http://db.tt/OV0913J1. DO NOT try to flash it, nothing will happen if you do!

• Using Root Explorer (or Root Browser, or equivalent), extract the zip file and copy it...

• Go to /etc folder in root, scroll to the bottom and you should see the same file you just copied (vold.fstab)

• Rename the file vold.fstab to vold.fstab.bak just in case or if you ever want to revert the changes

• Now, paste the file you copied earlier.

• This next step is VERY IMPORTANT! Change the Permissions on the file you just pasted to read rw-r--r--. They should match the file that you renamed.

• Exit Root Browser and reboot into Recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot!

That's it! Your internal and external memory should now be swapped! :D

For real tho, changing this is as easy as editing two lines in that file but some may find this just as easy and fool proof for the most part. Lemme know if you have any questions :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
That is correct. The Swagger toggle doesn't do anything.

@ Th3Bill: Do you think you could get rid of the Swagger button and replacing it with a DnD Mode button on your next release or maybe throw us a .zip we could flash to replace it? If you're not familiar with the DnD toggle, it is a

do not distrub

toggle, which disables notifications. I found that very useful when playing music from the radio at work. It would allow me to play my music without notification interruptions. :good:

Yes. The still-shot camera seems to be working flawlessly for me, but I believe you will need Videocam Illusion to record video.

Screenshots work for me. Be sure to press Power+VolDown at the exact same time, and be sure not to press the volume button first or it won't work!

Anyone know how to stop the AOKP Statistics notification pop-up? "AOKP Statistics Eneble or Disable AOKP Statistics"

Also keep getting a gapps update notification. I have joker jelly gapps v3 -07/28/2012 installed yet I keep getting a notice to update it to the older gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

I think there's a bug with the brightness levels. I set it all the way down, and sometimes when I go to make a phone call, it automatically brightens up to about the middle of the slider. There's also no brightness slider option in the toggles, and there's no way (AFAIK) to have it show up under the notifications pull-down drawer either.
