Does anyone have all of the emojis working? Because I have some of them working but not all work I just get diamonds with question marks for the ones that I can't see
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I updated the Center Clock mod for anyone that's interested and on the latest AOKP Nightly (8/29).

Very simple, you just flash the file in recovery and enjoy! If you don't like what you see (which I would say is doubtful but you never know) than you can flash the other file in recovery and revert the changes! ;)

Check out my thread here if you're interested :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
Th3Bill... has my favorite ROM been abandon? Say it ain't so.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You got no worries! AOKP just hasn't updated in a while! ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No AOKP update in quite some time...I'm working on getting source build to finish correctly for Crespo...if I can, then I will try to build for Moto :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok...so I did my own source build of Crespo last night. It's ported and running great. I am just trying to get HWA running on it, then I will release it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Hate to bother you with this but I do want to be sure that I do this right...

I assume that because I'm on Sprint, I'm not going to need to flash the file called AOKP_Build_1_GSM_Afterflash.zip

Is that correct or is that file for everybody?

Also not sure about:

AOKP JELLY FOR PHOTON NIGHTLY * AROMA *

Current Nightly: 8.29-Aroma (updated 9/2)

Fixed Bluetooth

Fixed SuperSU for root access

Built into Aroma Installer

Do I need to flash that too or is that an older ROM?

Appreciate if you could give me a hand with that. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Made a backup and am going to try flashing just the first file on the list to see what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] polo735:
Do not flash gsm unless using gsm telco with sim card. Do not use this with Sprint or us cellular.

The 8.29 nightly is most up to date version of this rom. Nightlies are more bleeding edge but generally less stable. This nightly has been stable for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll be linking my own kanged build tonight. It's a source built Crespo AOKP with most recent Git changes (as of last night) ported to Photon. I've been running it all day. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Kang 9.12 is UP.

I have NO IDEA the changelog. It's not an official release. I synced the repo, built from source, then ported to Photon.

I've been running all day. I have HWA added to system settings. There does seem to be a few new entries into Rom Control.

Cheers! :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Stepping it up a notch! ;)

Good work man, I knew you'd figure it out!! Downloading now, gotta check this out for sure :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's pretty nice. I'm making screenshots now to update the OPs
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
Thanks for updating this Th3Bill :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Got the newest "Kang'd" version loaded up! Installed without any issues and everything is working excellent!

Great work man! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Now, I just need to figure out how to use Github so that I can merge the right source folders. I already know what I need to build this source for Photon, which would most likely fix 99% of non-lib issues that are remaining...just gotta figure out Github....yay! More reading...lol. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lol...gotta love reading! But, more reading = just a matter of time ;)

I decided to take a step back, start from the bottom and work my way up. I'm currently learning how to develop/design/compile apps :)

In my quest for more knowledge & knowhow I came across a post by Cyanogen (from a couple years ago) that had some really good insight. So, I'm gonna try it like explained and see where it goes! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Gotta remember that due to Moto being a strange beast without properly released source libs for ICS, builds are tougher.

I'm doing some reading now :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
And its for that reason, I really appreciate and respect the work you do (and joker of course) because like you said, its not easy being that we lack the libs needed for ICS/JB. You guys work wonders for the Photon and bring all of us an amazing user experience! :D

Plus, for technically still being on GB, the Photon has more available ROM choices than some devices that official have ICS/JB!! :cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's because I decided that anything I could find that was port-able, that I did port it. Once source is figured out, I'll have regular builds being put out, which is nice. I may invest some money and either build or rent a build-bot so that I can do the work anywhere I am :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
That would be legit! New builds would be compiled in no time with little work on your end then! As much work as you put out for us, it would make sense for you to go that route.

You're gonna get promoted soon, I see it coming! Can you say, "Recognized Developer" ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Have to apply for it. Once I have source builds going, I will apply, as I already add in menu items, etc to my builds :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
To be honest, I didn't realize it was something that you "apply" for. Either way, I personally think you deserve that title man. You do some excellent work for us users and definitely make owning a Photon that much better of an experience! And, I don't think I'm the only one who would agree with that either! :)

Keep up the great work :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Build 2 will be coming to a Photon near you sometime today or tonight...I've Build 2 and will be porting it today :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Care to answer a question for me bill? If youre building from source, how is it considered a port now? In that sense, is jokers cm10 also considered a 'port'? And if built from source, does that mean youre no longer using his cm10 as a base?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....Very good question.

Source built for Photon is when I built it specifically with Photon-related parts from source. I'm still trying to learn how to set up my Github. I know what parts I NEED to do this, but I haven't figured out how to get them into my repo just yet. It's a bit confusing to me. I'm still reading on this. Joker builds CM10 from source...there are no other phone parts (save for some cherry picked items from other builds that help ours).

Porting for Photon is using a base (like CM10) and grafting the rom you're porting INTO that build, editing the framework to get it to work right. This is what I am currently doing.

What I built from source was a Crespo build (Nexus S-the phone that I get my rom ports from). I then ported it to our phones. Now, why would I do that, you ask? Well, one thing you must understand about the Nexus S (and the other Nexus phones). They have processors that are NEON compatible (neon is a type of compiler architecture). Our phone is NOT neon compatible. I built the crespo using the NON-NEON compiler, so it actually would be more compatible with our NON-NEON libs :) I then PORTED it to our phone.

Believe me...I'm learning some of this stuff pretty quick, so I would imagine that by early to mid Oct, my builds will be source, not port....least that is my goal. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's uploading as I type this. Now, I need to give an explanation of new process :D

It will be a 2 part flash (yes...I know groan). There are advantages to all involved..believe me

New Setup will be 1) Aroma-Rom-just a base...options for PHONE that are ROM-SPECIFIC only and 2) Option Overflash-Optional launchers, etc

Advantages for me

1) Less bandwidth used. Rather than being stuck uploading 250MB every time I need to upload new rom or fix, I can upload something around 150MB.

2) Faster Upload time. I can get fixed versions up faster

3) Only need to update Optional stuff when there are major updates to it.

Advantages for you, the user:

1) Rom uploads will take less time, so you'll have it faster. This also means it will download faster

2) Since the Base will only have ROM-specific stuff, when you update, unless I otherwise specify, you will only need to wipe cache and flash new phone base. You updated apps will all stay the same :)

3) If you go to another rom, you can use the Overflash on that rom, too. It will be a universal over-flash, so one download of the Options will suffice for all roms I do (will even work on Joker's CM10).

4) You will only have to download the Option flash if you like something I add to it.

I will be creating a separate thread for this flash in a little bit to reduce confusion, as if I post it in every rom, I run the chance of people not understanding it will work for ALL JB roms :D

I'll let you know once I have the ROM uploaded...

Also....quick TIP...from the man Joker himself....to get rid of 99% of stutters on launcher (won't fix gallery), use a LIVE wallpaper. It actually works...I can attest to it. LOL :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Sweet baby jesus it 'does' work!! I wonder what the reasoning behind this could be. Mind blown..

Eagerly anticipating the new update. Again, thank you for your work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Does live wallpaper kill battery quicker?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Quicker, yes. How much quicker is debatable.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Right. It depends on a few factors. Does it respond to touches or gestures? How much activity is going on onscreen? At what framerate is it running? Are their configurable levels of smoothness? Is it coded efficiently? The best and only LWP i ever use is ICS Spectrum. There is a free version, but the Pro is definitely worth the dollar as its easy on the battery and you can configure every aspect of it to suit any theme you might have running.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Thanks for the updates, Th3Bill! So are you telling us that this new update fixes the stutters?

What about Bluetooth controls? Before I upgraded to 9.12 my Bluetooth used to work fine, but when I would disconnect from my car, my phone would reboot if I would toggle Bluetooth OFF.

Upgrade to 9.12 fixed that reboot problem, but now I can't control the volume when connected to my car. If I try to turn the volume up or down using my steering wheel controls or the knob on the stereo, nothing happens. I can only turn the music down by using the volume up and down on the phone itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
It should be at http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/aokp-for-photon/ right? Just making sure because you said it was uploading almost 5 hours ago and I still don't see it there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I had to stop the release. Stock browser is borked due to AOKP using natives that our CM10 doesn't support. I'm trying to find a workaround as I type this. I just don't want to release something and have 20 posts of "Browser FC". It looks like AOKP's HTML5 frameworks are almost TOTALLY different from our Cm10 right now...I had a hell of a time just getting Google to let me set up my account (took 5 framework.jar attempts)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....found the workaround. We won't have the latest and greatest browser (honestly, I don't know what they changed between em, but the OLD one works, so I will put THAT in the zip and upload it. It should be up within about 30 mins :)

EDIT: I have to make one edit, but it's worth the wait...HWA app not loading in the settings. I figure that's worth waiting a little bit for...

EDIT EDIT: Ok! HWA is IN the Settings now. I'm uploading it now :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.0 is UP on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
What theme is that on post 1? I like the battery gauge and icon set. Lock screen and USB plugged in looks cool.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Mixer Theme. it's a CM10 theme in the Play Market
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
What does options chooser do? Install after aroma completes?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Its a second Aroma installer used to install different launchers, gapps, buildprops, etc. Flash after flashing the first aroma.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Exactly! Just remember....report error, show log BETWEEN flashing each
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Been off the map for a couple days, but I'm back :)

Great work with the new process! I like the 2 Aroma configurations! Definitely a good choice I think. It will hopefully make things a little easier on everyone.

Anyway, downloading Build 2 now and will report soon enough :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Looking good. So far every thing is working good
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I re-uploaded the rom and options chooser. I had the storages borked (backwards...LOL). I have fixed it. Sorry guys. I hadn't realized that on Joker's last CM10, he had made EMMC the primary sd card on the phone...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
You mean I have to start over.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Or u can edit the vold.fstab file in system/etc with root browser

Extended Battery Option/Help

I love this ROM, thanks for all of the hard work! Just wondering, could an option be added for users with an extended battery? I looked at the page here: http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/809-2/ and noticed that the mods were out of date, so I attempted modifying power_profile.xml inside of framework-res.apk with no luck. The battery indicator still seems to stick at 1%. Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing?

Thanks,

Eric

(my power_profile.xml is attached to this post)

EDIT: I'm using the KANG 9.12 build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Are you recompiling the framework-res.apk after editing it? You need to do that, or else the phone won't read the file correctly....
[Motorola Photon 4G] firestormapps:
Yes I am. I decompiled the apk, changed the "battery.capacity" value, recompiled it, then dragged "power_profile.xml" and "resources.arsc" back to the original framework file. The phone boots correctly and works fine after pushing the modified framework back onto the phone. I even pulled it back off of the phone a second time to verify that everything "sticked." That's what's confusing me lol

Thanks,

Eric
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you wipe cache? Try that, then plug phone into the wall overnight :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] firestormapps:
I wiped cache/dalik cache earlier today but did not charge it any. I will try that now! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I was confused on what to choose on that step. Went with EMMC (whatever that means). I thought that was asking me where I want my phone to install it's apps. I figured EMMC must be the internal memory so that's what I chose. Did I do it wrong?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This is NOT for where your phone stores apps. It is only to change what your phone views as the SD_Card. Whichever choice you make will pick that storage as your SD_Card for the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
yeah...you wanna charge it overnight....so that it fully charges and the battery stats wipe on their own. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Gotta admit, I'm pretty impressed with Build 2!

Tablet UI actually works quite well surprisingly! Only draw back to it, is I've yet to figure out how to get the status bar (which would now be at the bottom) to always show. I'm using Nova Launcher (Prime) and have a gesture setup to reveal the status bar (notification panel) but it doesn't stay.

To better understand what I mean, here are a couple screen shots...

This is my home screen with Tablet UI enabled:

These are my home screen with the notification panel showing (via swipe gesture)

Now, out of curiosity, has anyone else currently on Build 2 played around with the Tablet UI/Screen Density options in ROM Control? If so, does your status bar show? And what other settings have users tried out?

My current settings are as follows:

Tablet UI box is checked

Screen Density = 160
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I may have to try that out now that you say so.

Edit - Wow, not sure how you got so lucky. I did as you had yours set but maybe it was put together wrong. I did mine to 160 dpi, restarted, did the market thing. Then went and did tablet UI forced. Restarted again. But my screen was off bases. Thought maybe I should try it the other direction. Tablet UI then the 160dpi. with restarts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I didn't realize this was in there. I'll have to check out the settings for it...

I'm just finishing up CNA Nightly 9.18...very nice. I am also going to re-upload all the roms with a nice add-in....I'll explain more later...time for dinner
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
would it be possible to add in an extended battery option maybe?
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Hmmm, Nova Prime. I pulled it down to my system and checked it out with the gesture to pull up notifications. SIngle swipe down pulled them up and left it there until I clicked/ touched into another location.

I kind of like the gestures to pull things up or down or activate things. I may have to get used to it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I hadn't either until yesterday. Got bored today and started playing with the Settings :)

Just a quick note for anyone who is going to use the Tablet UI option, you MUST change the Screen Density ALSO!

Looking forward to this "add-in" feature you mentioned! And of course CNA ;)

Another thing, I figured out the Status bar! The trick is to enable the Navigation Bar :D

Also, you don't have to actually change the Nav Bar Buttons options. You ONLY need to at least tick the box to enable it and you will have your Status Bar back with the standard Tablet setup :D. Of course, you can customize them to you liking, its just not needed because my Nav Bar Buttons in ROM Control are "empty" LOL

See...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
I also noticed this feature and I love it. Its like having aokp/paranoid all together lol but for the notification you have to enable the Nav bar.very nice feature
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
LOL...I figured it out, read the post above yours ;) But thanks anyway!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Lol aw sorry about that bro
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Reuploaded the ROM and Options zips

Report Error/Show Log is a thing of the past. I've got em set up to properly clear choices after flashing

First time ONLY, flash Aroma-Prep then reboot recovery

Flash ROM, Flash Options, then reboot into Phone :)

CHEERS! ​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Do we have to flash the aroma prep only one time ever or the first time before flashing initial ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yes....the Aroma-Prep is in liu of doing report error show log. Just flash that zip, reboot recovery, and you're good to go :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Downloaded the newest files! Will load them up after I get up :)

I'm curious tho, you mentioned something about an "add-in" in a previous post (may have been CNA thread)...now were you talking about the Aroma-Prep or should I/we expect something else?? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, the add-in really was that since it deletes your choices at the end of install, you no longer have to report error/show log (unless you have a failed installation in your recovery).
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Thanks for clarifying that.

Pardon all the questions and confusion. I'll try to explain my situation as best as I possibly can so you can understand where I'm coming from.

At the time when I installed the ROM, I had chosen EMMC. This was done before you ^^fixed it^^. What I want is for my phone to use the removable SD Card as the storage for web browser downloads, pictures that are taken with the camera, etc just like our older Android phones used to do from the beginning. Since I chose EMMC and you are saying that it was backward, does that mean that I actually made the correct choice for the behavior I want?

I just want the SD Card to be used to store pictures I snap, music I download, documents and other downloads from the web, and to use the phone's non-removable internal memory for applications.

My question is; did I indeed make the correct choice to achieve what I'm after?

I also asked about Bluetooth controls earlier in this thread. Is there anything that I could do to fix the Bluetooth?

Anyone else having battery life drain for no reason while your phone's screen is OFF? My battery drained last night while I was sleeping. Didn't wake up to an alarm this morning because of that! :laugh:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
To answer your main question...yes, you chose the correct option. Currently, choosing EMMC as an option in Aroma will set your External (removable) Memory Card as the default option for storage for Downloads, Pictures, etc...

As far as Bluetooth and extensive battery drain... what exactly about Bluetooth "controls" are you trying to fix? And with the extensive battery drain while the screen is off, did you check in Settings > Battery to see what was killing it? Maybe you left an app or two open (or possibly running in the background) thru the night? Not sure what else could be draining your battery so fast because I'm not personally having any more battery drain than usual...
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
It seems you missed the part where I said that I set it to EMMC before Th3Bill's fix. Th3Bill wrote

which still confused me because he said "the primary sd card". My Photon only has one SD Card that I know of. Is the phone's internal memory referred to as the SD Card too? IDK. What exactly are they talking about when they say Primary SD Card?

What about Bluetooth controls? Before I upgraded to 9.12 my Bluetooth used to work fine, but when I would disconnect from my car, my phone would reboot if I would toggle Bluetooth OFF.

Upgrade to 9.12 fixed that reboot problem, but now I can't control the volume when connected to my car. If I try to turn the volume up or down using my steering wheel controls or the knob on the stereo, nothing happens. I can only turn the music down by using the volume up and down on the phone itself.

I didn't think to check the battery stats this morning, but I checked on them right now, and I am at 78% 2h 14m 33s on battery. Screen 46%, voice calls 16%, Google+ 7%, android OS 5%, maps 4%, cell standby 4%, android system 4%, mixzing 3% and media 2%. It is possible that I left AnTuTu Benchmark open before I went to sleep, but I doubt it would have drained the last 26% of battery I had just from sitting idle. Who knows? I should also point out that I always try to keep my screen brightness as low as possible. I never set it past 25% brightness. Anything past that it is too bright anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
No, I had caught that, but you asked if choosing EMMC was the correct choice for your situation...in which, I answers yes. Than I gave you a brief explanation as to why.

I believe all that is meant by "Primary SD Card" is what you choose for a Storage option in Aroma (EMMC or SDCARD). Which ever is chosen will be consider "Primary" storage. Also, when you go to < Settings < Storage, whatever you chose for an option in Aroma (EMMC or SDCARD) will be shown as the "SD Card" there.

Our devices only technically have ONE removable memory card, but our built-in Internal Storage is also consider an SD Card. If you had chosen "SDCARD" in Aroma (which is what I do) than your Internal Built-in Device Storage would show as the Primary Storage (SD Card) in < Settings < Storage.

Hopefully that makes sense to you and helps you better understand what's good with the storage options, etc...

As far as your other issues go, not sure what to tell you about the Bluetooth Controls issue and the Battery Drain sounds somewhat odd too. Not to say it hasn't happened, weird things can happen lol...I'm just not sure why your battery would die thru the night so quickly!?!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Anyone figure out a solution to the ringtone resetting to default ringtone randomly? When I check the ringtone it says "unknown ringtone"
