[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I posted in my last post. It really didn't have many changes to the source. Mostly was navring. Since AOKP was working on 4.2 and the latest additions were just small entries, they have no formal changelog. Sorry
[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
does this build have sms split? Or would i still need to use the mms.apk i posted?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I completely spaced on that one. Yes, would need to use the apk.

KingKang will be released tonight
[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
i thought kingkang was pretty much PAC? Im prob wrong(never rele looked into the rom) Sounds cool tho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've run both....KK seems a bit better integrated. Less duplicate things.
[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
Well awesome. i look forward to testing it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hightech316:
would it be possible to convert this rom's filesysyem to ext4?

If it comes down to the kernel, couldn't we compile it w a ext4 module?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Thanks Bill. Glad to see you're still working on this, and 4.2. I won't be disappointed if we never get 4.2. It's amazing that we got 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, and 4.1.2. (I think we got 4.0.3?) Speaking of which, the screenshot for About Phone on SF (for AOKP) shows the Android version as 4.1.1. ;)

WRT ext4, I read somewhere that that requires kernel work. Not sure though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I know...screenies are a bit outdated. I only have the Photon for limited time now that it's no longer my primary device. If someone wants to take some good screenies, I can upload them. SF only allows for 6 screens.

I'll get this worked out in time, I am sure. I'm not going to give up on 4.2. I'm too damn hard-headed to do that...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Didn't think you would. But if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out; you've already gone above and beyond for all of us.

Reckon I can recreate the screenshots. I use a pretty custom UI (Nova Prime + MetroStation icons set to #0fff00, Kiwi Cobalt theme) so it would be misrepresentative of the ROM itself. But I nandroid before installing anyway... no reason I can't nandroid, install with a full wipe, take a few screenshots, restore my backup, install over M1 b4, then upload the images and post the links. Then you could take 'em or leave 'em.

|edit: Step one complete. Backed up, install+wipe all, booted up, realized I hadn't installed Options or Gapps. But you're not offering those on the SF page, so I figured it would be better to show *just* the ROM. So I selected Trebuchet as the launcher. Successfully recreated all the screenshots. I'll have 'em up as soon as I can restore, install M1 Final over M1 b4, and upload 'em to Imgur through an app I have.

/edit 2: Have some screen shots. ;)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll update it in the morning :D I'm gonna go to bed. I have Liquid Smooth rom building right now...nice, light, pretty customizable
[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
Saweet! We are getting liquidsmooth? i love that rom. used it on my buds vibrant and my friends infuse. Pretty damn good rom. So not only are we getting kingkang, but now liquidsmooth. Remind me to hug you in the next life mate. I blame you for my relapse. Ive now become an even worse flashaholic. Have a good night bill, look forward to testing out more of your work
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
King Kang? Liquid Smooth? Are these (KK, LS) the best pages to learn what these ROMs are? Or do you have a better link?

(If it's not obvious to anyone... DO NOT download/flash the ROMs I linked to your Photon 4G or Electrify... they are built for different phones, and bad things will happen...)

Initial impression is that King Kang is the same as PACman (which I have yet to try). AOKP + CM10 + PA but minus ParanoidPreferences.apk. And Liquid... all I see is a tweaked default JB wallpaper. I watched the video, and all it looks like is really different is you can now have the date on the status bar... but like the man says, it gets cluttered, and that's on his Galaxy S3, which has a bigger screen than ours.

Anyway... Can't wait!
[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
Those pages are both quotes of what youd find of you found the original. Im too lazy to find it.

Yeah, i didnt know the difference between kingkang and pac, but bill says its less cluttered, or something like that, its a page up or so.

As far as liquid is concerned. it might not get the same results and performance as on my buds vibrant(galaxy) or my friends infuse. But its not the features of the rom that kick ass, but rather the overall performance and functionality. It seemed to be the most stable rom on the vibrant, and battery life was improved(for a jb rom that is)

odds are id stick with pac or kingkang, (Most features) but im definitely flashing em all at least once.

Right now ive like uber tweaked PAC. I got 12 hours without charge yesterday( using the phone mildly) and 8 while streaming music. Im using the stock jb camera, but using the 4.2 gallery and photo editor. Sounds are all 4.2, clock is 4.2, etc. Its like a hybrid thing ive got goin on. And its got the recompiled aokp mms.apk app so i can split sms.

Takes a while to set all of the setting back up, but hey, i dont mind so i can try out a new rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] koushi2012:
wwowwwww that's awesome so we r getting again one more new rom in the coming future...,

That's really very good news for us...,

Thanks a lot for your excellent work on these all roms...

i became a big fan of your work...,
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Google Geek -- I hear ya on mixing things up. (So PACman/KingKang are kind of natural progressions for the both of us, eh?) I was using, whatever ROM it was (CM9? CM10?) when we got hit with that ROM Manager bug that wiped all the ringtone choices? Yeah, dark times indeed. So I backed up my ringtones of choice (Pyxis for rings, Ceti Alpha for notifications) and I've just been using them since. I like the classic ringer. I don't like "songs" and I don't like goofy stuff. I appreciate that the options are there, I just don't dig 'em for myself. Even more retro, I pulled the "Bell Phone" ringer from GB, and I think I'll use that, or maybe that and Pyxis, have one for when my wife calls and the other for everybody else.

Just flashed PACman. That ROM is about as insane as I expected. Love how the tablet UI is enabled for settings by default, as well as browser. Android 4 browser is pretty good (gave up on third-party browsers because of it) but Android 4 browser in tablet mode is honestly the best Android browser I've used. Hands down, there is no comparison. Firefox is laggy. My wife swears by Dolphin, but I've never liked how it moves. Page loads, and it resizes to fit your screen, and that counts as a forward/back step. Makes my OCD twitch. It probably is the best browser, objectively... but subjectively I don't like it at all. Stock browser in tablet mode makes me very happy, it's all I need. Now if Jottacloud would add bookmarks to its sync options (or if I'd pay for Xmarks Premium... and LastPass Premium) I could start using it more, as opposed to apps. Pro mode. Maybe if I get a tablet... Browsers on a phone can only be so useful.
[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
Indeed. ah yes, that strange .nomedia bug. That was slightly annoying, but i had fixed that by downloading a few of my favorites, and a few new ones from assorted roms/devices and putting em in the ringtones/notifications, etc folders.

Yeah, pac is pretty insane. Thats why as soon as i had used it on another device i started to try and port it, but bill saved the day and built it from source because he's just a beast. +1

Ive probably gone through every browser app on the market, none of em beat the stock browser in my eyes, especially if your running it with a lower dpi and in landscape.

Ive debated getting a tablet for quite some time, but IMO. i think ill keep the money to go towards me getting my Betsy(76 ford f150) back, gas money, or getting a nice anniversary gift for my fiancé.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
Mybad Bill for not responding to this.

I had AOKP with Cobalt Blue theme from market

And Apex launcher with the Dock disabled so I can put whatever apps folders or widgets anywhere on the screen I want. and Notification bar is hidden, I use the home button to show and hide it and swipe down anywhere on screen gesture to expand the full notification Window. Swipe up gesture to access my apps drawer.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok. I am in the process of moving all my stuff again. I am a little irritated that Sourceforge is not allowing me to create enough "Projects" to post all my work. So, I am going to be closing my work at Sourceforge one at a time while I move everything. I have my own site now:

Th3Bill.com

I've banded together with scott.hart.bi from the Samsung Infuse, and we are forming Team ToolBag :D

It will be a bit of a slow process, as I must move ALL my roms and their information over. I will be working on the site continually to try to optimize it for the purposes of feedback, bugs, etc.

I encourage everyone to check it out and click around. Be aware that the only rom set up so far is this one, so be patient. Liquid Smooth will be up shortly (as will an XDA thread here).

PLEASE DO NOT HOTLINK MY WORK from where it is posted. I am putting it on my site for a reason. I want to see whta type of REAL traffic I get :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryan8r:
Sounds great! Good luck man! It's Devs like you that we can have the latest kickass software for our beloved forgotten devices.

Just Flashing my Friends Photon with your rom , thought I'd pop in to thank you! ?

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
So, which device you on now? I am actually on the LG Optimus G now, but I am still developing for this phone...just can't drop my first android :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bully4x4:
How are you liking that optimus g?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, I will put it this way. I LOVED my Photon. I was incredibly upset when I realized that there was no way that my 12 year old could use the S2 Epic that I got her (felt like a plastic POS) and I ended up taking that and giving her the Photon. I missed having something that felt like a real piece of hardware that wasn't a kids toy.

THIS phone is like the Photon to the 10th power. It's just absolutely awesome. Lightning fast, great reception, fastest GPS lock I've EVER seen on a phone, cool features, tons of processing power, tons of storage (yeah no sd card, but with 32 GB storage, I don't really need one), great cam...and the best part...entire body made of Gorilla Glass. This thing not only LOOKS sexy....it FEELS sexy. Be careful...your wife/girlfriend will probably be jealous of it...LOL

It's everything I had wanted in a phone, and has a nice weight in the hand that lets you know it's got good materials in its build...
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
That's the primary reason I got myself the Photon over the Epic 4G Touch. The specs were nice, just a tick above the Photon, but it felt cheap.

My wife ended up getting the E4GT and she loves it (even though she says mine feels like a better built phone). It has held up well, even without a case for much of its life. She let me put CM10 on it when the official ICS update borked her battery life and I've got to say... I get gadget envy from time to time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I used the E4GT for less than 2 months, and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. My daughter doesn't want it, and neither did my wife (both have Photons...my daughter with MIUI.us and my wife on bone stock rooted)....LOL

It's a decent phone, but the GPS sucks, the Cell signal was garbage compared to the Photon or LG, the screen looked overly inflated due to 800x400 res (I was used to the 960x540 Photon), the screen felt sticky (compared to the silkiness of the gorilla glass), and it just felt like a little kids toy.

The custom ROMs are pretty good,but all had some weird bugs that made them really annoying to me. Most infuriating was that if you txt in landscape, the keyboard ends up off the screen...LMFAO!! One night, I was trying to find my way out of Disney World using the GPS on it, and it kept telling me I was in Jacksonville (2 hours away)! I ended up having to stop, wait for the Photon to charge (I love my 12 year old, but she just LOVES to let her phone completely die) enough to boot, then used THAT to find us...LOL!

But bak to the LG...it feels like a HUGE step forward in terms of overall feel...just FEELS like an expensive, quality device...then you use it, and you realize that it's pretty much the boss of the playground as far as Sprint is concerned (unless you consider the Note2, which I just thought was too huge to keep in a pocket, and at $250, too expensive) :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
Haha, bill you kick ass mate.

Gooooo teamtoolbag! Lmfao

Teamtoolbag, assemmmballl!

Sorry, i like the way that sounds, makes me chuckle a bit, so i thought id use it to make references to old cartoons(thundercats,etc)

i have so much respect for you and what you do even still when u have your life at home. You are the man bill. Keep it up. +1 mate
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
My buddy scott and I were thinking about how funny it sounded, and figured it'd be a good name for a couple of devs who make roms that make the toolbag haters jealous...LOL

It's really been fun making the new site. I also like the new hosting service, as it seems to be pretty consistently quick overall.

I do most of the work at night when the kids and wife are sleeping or in my down time at work :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
I've got to agree. I've only experienced CM10 on the wife's and the res is a little weird. I bet the screen would be perfect with a PA Rom and the phablet interface. I follow the CM10 development over there, though never post, but it seems that most of the weird software quirks have been worked out now. The devs have been working hard to get it to official CM status.

I'd love an Optimus G, but we'll see what's new and shiny when my upgrade rolls around in July....

Sorry, I seem to have driven the dev discussion off a cliff... back to the Photon. :eek:

Oh, and if you ever need help around WDW again, let me know.... I'm an annual passholder and I live about 15 minutes away.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's no problemo whatsoever :D I enjoy discussing a myriad of things. Right now, I'm still working on 4.2, so not much to really report here...still no go, but the gerritt on CM would indicate that things might get a little clearer soon....they added in a couple things that might help us T2's :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Wow, best birthday ever. Thanks Th3Bill!

Loving the new site, and getting my flash happy on soon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Got 2 roms on there that are yet unreleased on XDA (Liquid Smooth and King Kang). I'm about to make threads tonight
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I know, i am psyched. Phone is charged an i am backing up applications and flashing. Thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryan8r:
The new Optimus devices sure are lucrative.. Thought of upgrading to the LG Nexus 4 but just cant let go of my Droid RAZR. Also bought an Atrix HD which another brill device. Call me a fanboy but you just cant beat Motorola Hardware lol.

And bought an iPhone just to keep my DOCs and Assignments intact (yes go ahead and bash me now) lol

Thinking of developing or porting stuff again but the college work is too much. Trust me they work us like mules. Pmsl

But I sure will get around to it in time. I'd be pm'ing you for help ofcourse. :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimzp:
Can't wait to try king kang and liquid smooth !!!!!

Thanks Bill so much for all your hard work for us :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Believe me....the OG makes the venerable Photon look pedestrian. It's got a radio that is just as good, a GPS that's better, and the screen...oh the screen is amazing. Not to mention, the whole phone feels just like the screen from the Photon. I LOVE IT!

I know how college goes...5 years Pharmacy school...damn it was a hell of a load, but it's worth it in the end. Avg college educated person earns a Million dollars more in their career than someone NOT college educated. So, all you kiddies out there, eat your veggies and fruits, exercise and play hard, and get your self edumacated :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's already up on my site...just no thread here yet...will be fixing that thig morning :D

I have to say that the boot animation on LS is really nice...I was highly impressed. It's also one of the smallest ROMs I've ever seen at around 95MB
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
LS working good so far.

Will Not Install

I have not been able to get the last two versions of AOKP to install. I was using TWRP and thought it might be a problem with the recovery, so I switched to CWM. That did not help. I used the version of CWM installed by ROM Manager. Is that a problem? It goes through the full installation process using AROMA, but errors out on the reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Errors out on reboot automatically, or when you tell it to reboot.

Also, should use Th3Bill recovery. That is on his webpage.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Uncheck reboot, and reboot yourself. TWRP is fine. It's all I use. Aroma can't handle rebooting our device for some reason.

Motorola Electrify / US Cellular / Jelly Bean / PACman 18
[Motorola Photon 4G] humanbean:
Thanks. I did a manual reboot and it still errored, but it is installed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's not a real error. It's something in the shut-down/reboot between Aroma and our binary that don't like each other.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
I used to plug my phone into my car and was able to access the files. It was great...download a song and play it from the car. Since the last few releases it has not been easy to have the sd card load correctly. I need to try loading files from different locations.

Question, when I don't turn my screen on for a while wifi turns off and it takes a long time to connect again. is anyone else experiencing this and is their a fix it's rather annoying lol

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------

It's weird cause I have aokp for the nexus 7 and the wifi issue doesn't happen
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
under wifi, hit menu, then advance, you should see option to "keep wifi on..."
[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
I did do that and it's still doing the same thing
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:

[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Killer stuff !! Man I'm so glad we have a super dev like for the Photon!

Would the 4.2 update trickle down to your other ROM's as well ? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
From time to time I get the screen jittering and it really doesn't bother me that much (although embarrassing when showing off something on my phone). I stumbled on this in another forum here on XDA and been running it for the last few days and so far no jittering and yes 100% noticeable improvement of lag. Has anyone else tried this yet?

Is this rom dead? There haven't been any updates in a while
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Th3bill must be busy with other things. Haven't been any updates for a while. He's still supporting this rom AFAIK.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Not trying to speak for the man, but it seems like his hands are tied trying to get 4.2 working on the sunfire. Bluetooth and WiFi aren't working in the latest build. I believe he got WiFi working, but Bluetooth is still giving him problems. Once he can build a working 4.2 CyanogenMod ROM, he can source build the other ROMs from that base. AOKP and Paranoid I know have no more JB 4.1.2 ROMs for any device. Milestone 1 Final is the final 4.1.2 ROM, and Paranoid's is 2.99. The next AOKP and Paranoid is 4.2-based, and he can't do those until everything that works in 4.1.2 works in 4.2. CNA was abandoned by its dev last I heard (shame, I liked that one, but AOKP filled the void) and I think King Kang and PACman are both out since Paranoid's dev told them they couldn't bundle paranoidpreferences.apk, effectively neutering those ROMs (even if the file is easy to add on your own).

Can you guys, anyone running AOKP M1 Final, refresh my memory? Open stock browser, is it phone layout or tablet? I'm using King Kang, and my browser is tablet mode (so is Gmail and Settings). I could take or leave Settings' tablet mode, but I like Browser and Gmail in tablet mode. I think I'd like to go back to vanilla AOKP, but I must have my tablet-mode Android 4 browser. Thanks in advance.

[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Since I don't use bluetooth and almost never record video, I'm currently using this. I installed it over a month ago and it's my favorite in terms of options and stability. There's hardly any jitter, almost all apps are compatible, and for me it almost never freezes or crashes. The back to close feature is great and I have trouble sticking with roms that don't have this. The only thing that is worse for me than CM10.1 is the battery life. I've just learned to deal with it, but there are days it will drain in a couple hours.

Th3Bill, I know you're working on many devices and this isn't your primary device anymore, but I just want to say thank you. You've kept the photon from being left behind when Motorola ditched us. Same goes for Joker, cybik, spleef, olegfusion, mof, lokifish, rocko, cougar, peetr, and everyone who contributed. :highfive:

hello all

I am trying to get full screen to display in landscape mode with the new rom but it's not working. Is anyone having the same issue? possible fixes?
[Motorola Photon 4G] rockytruelyrox:
Yes, I have Got this problem too. The same problem was there with AOKPCB R2.1 Beta however the answer button was all the way to the bottom edge hiding. I was told by Spleef to take phone.apk and contacts.apk from Jokers CM9

. Once I did that I ended up having call answer screen like this. Seems the CM9 phone.apk and contacts.apk are not that aligning with AOKP base.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I have noticed the incoming Call screen being cutoff issue too!

3) Music controls in lockscreen-FIXED
