I'm not much of one either but I'm always willing to learn new things and love experimenting with this and that to see what works/doesn't work.

I realize there aren't many Dev's making actual roms for our device and beyond appreciate what you and the other Dev's do! I also realize that ICS isn't officially out for our devices and things are gonna be broken, or may not work 100%...yet! That being said tho, the work you guys have done with these ICS roms is simply amazing and in all honesty, I expected things to be in a much worse state than they actually are! What I've come to realize is that 85% (if not more) of all the issues most people have are because of "USER ERROR"! No offense to anyone, its just something I've noticed! Only issues I have experienced are the ones documented by the Dev's and typically there is a reasonable work around. Anyway, rant off haha.

My point is, I understand that nobody has all the time in the world. I find it fun and challenging to find ways to make my personal experience using a rom (that you guys develop/port/kang) even better or more customized to my liking. If I come across something I feel others would like or appreciate, that works of course, than I share!

I eventually would like to be able to contribute to this community and am working my way towards that! Got a lot more reading and trial & error to get thru but I'll get there. But until then, I'm always more than willing to help out where I can!

Btw, enjoy your vacation man, you deserve it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
The3Bill, excellent work on this ROM! I've definitely been enjoying it the past couple days...

From my usage so far, I have some feedback...

- Using the latest PRL, I cannot connect to roaming data using "force roaming" by selecting Automatic under System Select. (Yes "data roaming" is enabled :) )

- Opera Mobile crashes upon opening. I'll get you a Logcat but it won't be for a couple days as it's the Misses and my anniversary tonight.

Thanks again for the hard work on this great ROM!
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
no prob jus wondering..no rush. i remember when me and spleef first ported this thing over so i all about the pains and stuff haha. doing more than one at a time has to be alot too. so thanks for all your work man and jus btw i might be gettin back into it again soon if you need any help with anything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've implemented the updated Trebuchet.apk and bootanimation into the rom, which i will upload either tonight if my phone connection alows it or tomorrow when i get a chance to stop by the library and bogart their wifi...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not sure on forced roam...I don't really use it. I'll have to ask Joker how to best use it

Opera, I will have to look into...some of the browsers render using different processes, and are not fully compatible with our unfrotunately lib handi-capped ICS builds
[Motorola Photon 4G] psgarcha92:
@UCChemE05, try an older version (11.1) of opera and see if that works.....as even with me, using joker's CM9, Opera 12 did not work at all.

Also Guys, is 3G data working ok here? i am sick of not getting any 3G signal on the other ROM i have here (shows only 2G)......when compared to the Stock ROM, which got 3G all the time, the current one doesn't. No disrespect at all to the developers though. Keep up the good work :)

Regards
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm on it now getting full 3G signal. I'm actually on vacation, tethered to it so that I can have internet on my laptop...lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Are you international GSM? USA GSM? Or cdma?

[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
I would really appreciate it! On my old EVO, I used it quite a bit b/c of spotty coverage in places around my area. It really saves on battery and a LOT of frustration when having to deal with the data connection constantly dropping due to always switching between Sprint service and raoming.

I wouldn't worry about this too much Bill (unless you're just curious :laugh:) since it looks like others had the same issue too with Joker's base ROM.

FYI for those looking for an Opera replacement, I'm currently using the latest version Opera Mini w/o issue. I was trying to stay with an Opera browser since I have all my favorites saves on Opera Link.

No problems here now. I had some strange problem with I tried out 6 or 7 different ROMs in a day. I had to go back to stock ROM, update PRL and data profile to get my 3G working correctly again.I didn't think much of it since I had flashed ROM probably 15 times that day ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
I just switched to this last night, and all I can say is WOW! I was running Joker's ROM, and not to take anything away from him because I know that this ROM is built on top of his, but I enjoy it a lot better. I love having all of the customization options (although I wish we could edit some of the default launcher settings like grid size) and Google Now works flawlessly on this ROM. Now if only Moto would stop being a bunch of punks and release the libs and drivers, we'd all be good to go!

Side note...have you and Joker thought about collaborating on a JB ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Do the Power Saver Options work for the Photon? It gives a pretty nasty warning that it might bork /data on CDMA devices. Also, when data is turned off while screen is off, do calls ever have a problem going through? I figured i would check here first.. On a side note, like Tayzer the ICS rom i've spent a ton of time with is Jokers. After tinkering with aokp I can honestly say it's a lot more fun than CyanogenMod. However the stuttering due to lack of libs seems a bit more visible on aokp. Thank you for your work on this port Bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
All I can say to the last line is LMAO! Joker and I work together on a number of projects :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which build are you on? I have to re-upload the latest release...it has a couple things (boot animation and launcher) improved.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
I figured as much, I know how much collab goes on between devs, I was just curious on JB specifically since I know Joker is already tinkering with it...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I actually started on it last night, you'd rofl if you knew what was holding up development
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
?? :confused: Seeing as how you're moving, I'm going to guess your ISP has yet to come and hook up your internet...?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I'm on your first Milestone 6 release (the one without black apps and google music). Everything works beautifully, and the 2d libs arnt a problem for me as i usually just turn animations off anyway. Was just wantin to know if the Power Saver Settings work for us and are safe to use.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I turned it on....tested putting the phone to sleep and turning back on...never really had a problem with data not coming back. The warning was more for CDMA/LTE (which this is a CDMA Wimax device, so I don't think it's an issue to begin with for Photon) :)

Mlestone 6 is being reuploaded with updated bootanimation and Launcher (settings were missing in the one that came with what I ported). Also has an update to help with the scrolling issues. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Thank you for the quick replies. Waiting for the reup, will report back with how everything is working. By the way, stop working on this **** during your vacation :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's 95+ degrees outside and high humidity....not going outside anytime soon, and one of my kids is sick :( Hopefully just a little day stomach bug,...but it's sidelined going anywhere for now...lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Hey man, I found a working inverted/blacked out Contacts.apk that does NOT bork the dialer/phone app on our device! I'm just awaiting permission to share and for you to be able to add it into the rom options if you so choose.

I'm currently using it and it works perfectly and looks sick along side the Crimson Cobalt Theme I'm using!

**Edit** I'd post a screenshot in a few!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....Milestone 6 re-uploaded (shows as 2b).

Launcher updated to Trebuchet (gives you launcher options)

Bootanimation corrected

Other minor edits

I've been running since yesterday with no issues :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jmrubel77:
This rom is absolutely awesome! I love how snappy and customizable it is. Thanks for putting this up!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Yes this rom is awesome, just waiting on a fix for the no sound when the kickstand is open.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
If u had a flygrip that wouldn't be a problem. Lol qbking has a great video on them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ok, so I finally got the ok to share the inverted/blacked out Contacts.apk I found!!!

All credit goes to "travp624" for the work put into these :D

Now, below are 2 links. One is for a flashable zip and the other is the actual .apk file. *I haven't personally tested the flashable zip so you do so at your own risk!*

Like I mentioned a few posts back, I have personally tested this and it does NOT bork the phone/dialer on our devices! At least not on a Sprint (CDMA) Photon anyway.

Inverted/Blacked out Contacts apk...

http://db.tt/OyDZHGk8

Inverted/Blacked out Contacts flashable zip...

http://db.tt/suB03fQb

Also, Th3Bill... feel free to add this into the inverted/blacked out options of the rom if you'd like! I also asked for that permission too!

Travp624 has also inverted most all of the current gapps and if anyone would like those, lemme know! I haven't tested all for the other ones yet but thought I'd at least mention it :)

Again, like I already said, I take NO credit for the work done here. I am only sharing another developers hard work and all credit goes go Travp624 for this!

Last but not least, ENJOY!! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I've seen the video but I don't like the fly grip lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
I did some more testing this morning with the Force Roam option...

Some info...

- Latest PRL - 51090

- Data roaming option enabled

I tried the following to try to get mobile data working while Force Roam is enabled. With Force Roam enabled, I did the following:

- turned "mobile data" on and off.

- toggled "data roaming"

- restarted the phone with FR still enabled.

I tested my data connection between each test. Each time, the data connetion would not work. One odd thing I noticed is that in the status bar, the "R" appeared for roaming but 3G or 1X did not show for the data connection. I'm not sure if this is by design but when doing this with my

EVO, my phone would would always tell me the data connection type when roaming.

As soon as I switched back to "home only", my phone switched back to Sprint 3G and data worked fine.

Anyone else having this same issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Crwolv:
No. thats weird
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Yea, that's what force roaming does. You need to flash the sprint corporate prl to get 3g roaming. When you roam, all the indicator will show is R

Sent from my CM9 beast
[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
With the current PRL I should be still able to get 1x roaming data, no?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Yea, you aren't getting any data when you roam? When I do, it says R in the status bar but I still have data.

Sent from my CM9 beast
[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
Correct; that is what I was saying.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Well I don't know what more to do. I was just trying to clarify what was going on. You might want to get a logcat for th3bill when you switch from home to roam and back. That might be helpful

Sent from my CM9 beast
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Bug Id like to report. While using the Power Save Settings, at times data is not restored upon waking up the phone. You must do it manually.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
What exactly do you mean? And as always, a logcat is required for debugging.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
I'm having an issue with the phone app crashing or saying its not installed
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I'm assuming you chose the option to install the "Black Contacts" ??

Its mentioned that currently the black/inverted Contacts included with the rom options unfortunately borks the Phone/Dialer app at the moment. I posted a working Contacts.apk some posts back. Not sure if it'll cure an already borked setup as I chose NOT to install the Black Contacts and then replaced original one with the one I posted
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Just thought of something, is mobile data checked when roaming? I saw that in settings and it might be off as default

Sent from my CM9 beast
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Yea I had replaced it with the two apks you posted. I think I got it working at first I didn't change permissions or put in to system/apps now I think all is well cus it would usually work until I rebooted
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
does this rom already have the 3G tweaks? is that what the cdma tweaked was?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
CDMA tweaked is that. I like to give people option to choose that. I personally go without em...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
if you don't mind me asking why do you rather go without them? lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I tend to not like to tweak mine out to the max. I already have it 1.3 OC, and don't want to take any chances with any of the edits borking my hardware. I have 7 months before I'm eligible for an upgrade, and besides...I love my Photon :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] guilzom:
I´m with over GSM and had the APN issue....

I tried the ForceRoaming fix and until now (half day ) and the APNs hasn´t disappear yet.

I have to google it, 'cause on jokersax.com wasn't possible to find it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll put as an option on the next release :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
ahh i see, didn't know that could happen... but if you don't mind my asking.. for some reason i'm running into an issue with the phone randomly shutting off like the sleep of death but it only happens after i flashed roms AFTER i unlocked my boot loader i was running stock and MOF rom with locked boot loader and didn't have any issues. Got a new battery from motorola and still same issue. It doesn't happen as often but especially when I'm outside and its hot its over lol. I tried SBF'n back to stock and doing the process over to no avail and also brought my cpu down to 1000 and even to 800 and still :(... any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try freezing the apk FastDormancy. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
so far so good
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
How has battery life been on milestone 6? Any fixes needed or has all been well?
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
lost signal

so i was messing with the phone and hit the 2g only toggle, lost signal turned it off, still no sig then i reinstalled, did wipes, fixed permissions , more reinstalls and wipes, even went back to my stock back up, and still nothing, any and all ideas are greatly appreciated
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Where did you hit the 2G only toggle?

I had a similar experience a few months back and had to SBF to get signal back, restoring a nandroid didn't fix it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ah, feels good to be back on this rom!

I decided to SBF back to stock so I could update the PRL. Had to SBF because I lost my Nandroid backup files of stock after accidentally partitioning my SD Card a while back :/

I learned a couple new things tho throughout my SBF experience being that I was an sbf virgin lol.

Anyway, I'm kinda drifting off topic and I'll save my experiences for another thread ha..

Th3Bill, question for you... what are the chances of making a secondary build off Joker's "Special" CM9 builds? Those builds have the Browser rotation bug fixed (supposedly at the expense of performance but most users say otherwise). As you know, Joker makes 2 versions of every CM9 build. I'm wondering if we possibly could too!??! :cool:

Or, possibly another option, if you happen to know what exactly is indeed different between the two builds, could we maybe get an extra "add-on" for that specific change?

Either way, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I appreciate your hard work on this (and everything else you do)! AOKP is definitely one of my personal favorites!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, You're really going to appreciate this.

I am on AOKP JB right now.

I'm still working on getting data working right, but otherwise, it is very functional :)

I may do the special version as the ICS one once I get data on JB :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, you found the correct fix. For convenience sake, I just use Roam Control whenever this happens to straighten everything out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ah ****! That is what's good!! :D

During my little sbf adventure, I tested out JB for a few hours! It is definitely nice! But the data thing holds me back at the moment...plus I got a G-Tab 2 7.0 that now has a fully functional CM10 version available :D so I get my JB fix there lol.

Not gonna lie tho... AOKP + JB base = SCORE!!!! That would definitely be what's up man and I ain't gonna be the only one appreciating that for sure!!

[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
just in case it happens again where in rom control do you fix it? thanks for any and all info
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
th3bill can you upload the rom so us that have data on jellybean can try it out ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I can really only upload at nght, so I will up it tonight.

So far, camera works great, but shows white screen when aiming. I am working on that...but am still learning the frameworks of JB and their new setup
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
ahh. well i can tell you that in jb there wer two camera apps and one had the white screen and one actually worked if that helps you at all, but thanks! lemme know if there anythin to help with i wanna get back into this again
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If anyone wants to really help, down some 2.3.5 based roms and pull the libmoto_ril.so files and link them for me, it'd be great. My internet sucks (using Phone data), so I can't download huge files reliably here at my in-laws...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
this is from a deblur rom.

Great news! Am a fan of AOKP, currently using your AOKP 6 port merged with latest CM9 special. Haven't yet flashed any of the JB builds, this might very well be the first. Will report back for bugs if I can find any other than the obvious.

Awesome. I've been distracted from new roms and flashing for some time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah you have...what's up bud? Haven't seen you on a thread in a minute. Good to see you back :)

AOKP might be tomorrow morning. Joker's working on new CM10, and I'm unsure of whether I should upload now or wait till he updates and then upload...

In any case, I'm about to test Paranoid Android 1.9 JB soon :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Upload now lol that's the only reason I've been staying up ;) ready to test this out... Is this going to be aroma? Can we flash over aokp ms6 by just wiping system and leaving data? Just a quick couple questions... And do we need v4 recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Upload will take a little while...I'm on an 80kps connection right now...(phone tether in a VERY weak cell area).

It's traditional, as I wanted to see what I needed to do with it first and what worked

It will require the flashing of Joker's su fix from his CM9 page (no need for CDMA data fix...it's in it)

V4 will negate your ability to flash gapps, so I would NOT recommend using it. I use V3 exclusively, and it worked flawlessly at flashing it :)

Uploading will start in a couple mins...gotta hit the bathroom...but it prob won't be finished until around 1:15-1:30
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
AOKP Jelly Bean is up :) Separate Thread made
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I use the Roam Control widget and simply toggle between "Auto", "Home", and "Roam" until my signal comes back. Works every time!

[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
Right now I'm using CDMA but will soon have to switch to GSM. What is the quickest way to do it with this ROM. Do I have to wipe and flash again or is there a shortcut.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Use Root Explorer or Root Browser and go into build.prop

Find line that says something like ro.telephony.default.network=7 and change the 7 to a 0. Save and reboot, then go to phone dialer *#*#4636#*#*. Go to Phone Info and make sure it says GSM auto (prl)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Jellybean Build 4 is UP on Jokersax.com. I am putting it up for testing and feedback. If it is good enough, I will re-create another thread for it solo :)

Couple recommendations:

1) Go to Play Market and make sure to have it NOT auto add Widgets...this for some reason can cause apps to uninstall (lol)

2) Wifi connectivity is working

3) Wifi tether requires app like barnicle (native doesn't work for some reason...LOL)

4) Logcat apps DO NOT WORK. If you need to logcat something for me, you will need to use your pc and adb logcat it for me.

PLEASE DO NOT JUST POST "THIS DOESN'T WORK" OR "THAT DOESN'T WORK". I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS FOR LOGCATTING. I am working on 11 builds now, so I can't log every error individually.

Let me know what you think​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Sweet! Downloading now! I'll fresh install this and let ya know what's good!!

Thank you man!
