@Th3Bill

Was investigating the issue myself and I noticed the following set_prem command in the update script in GSMFix provided by MIONS which is a bit different in your update script. Would this be the issue? Could be a noobish suggestion. But I've even tried manually copying libmoto_ril from gsm zip and even manually editing build.prop, it didn't help.

From GSM zip

From your ROMOPTIONS

Bluetooth Voice Dial borked

FYI gang - voice dial doesn't work over Bluetooth.

I see reference to it being broken back in August. I wasn't sure it if should be fixed by now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] iStayHigh:
OK flashed this earlier today its working fine. Full wipe,flashed ROM,ROM options,gsm fix,options chooser.

[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
The AOKP Team posted on their site that this Milestone 1 is the last update till 4.2 Th3Bill may release updates for our rom between now and then but that code needs to be released to source first and I wouldn't expect that until at least Nov 14 (when the devices are released) but prob a bit longer. We all should know better then to ask for ETAs on releases these people do it in their own free time and are at the mercy of code being released. Until then swag-on with this Milestone!

I can't update TalkBack from v3.1.1_r68 to v3.1.3. I get the "Your device isn't compatible with this version" error. Anyone else have this issue or know how to get around it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Using 'Memory Card Access' mode for transferring files from PC via USB reboots the device. Anybody else having this issue? I'm on the latest build.

It's random, like it happened thrice during my seven attempts.

4.2 features

In case anyone was interested, the 4.2 keyboard works without any tweaks, but the 4.2 camera just gives a white screen with all of the buttons. Gallery works too, but nothing major, just looks a little different.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
Even i tried... But for me even keyboard is not working... It disappears all of sudden.. No FC. And camera as pointed out its white screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
This is the one I used and have had no issues with it:

Could you post the steps to get GSM working...I've tried over and over
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
look

first flash the rom whatever cm10 miui aopk

second flassh the gsm zip i uploaded

third flash gapps

fourth flash option chooser dont choose any of gsm or cdma

choose emmc or sdcard

choose not ussc fix and reboot

u will have signal
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Please...stop posting this...it's an OLD build.prop that while it works as a temp workaround, it will render the OTA update useless, and will tell the Phone it's running CM10, not AOKP. I am about to upload another test of CM10 soon with what I think will be a proper fix. If not, I'll make a new ROMOptions that will have a proper fix in it with the correct build.prop. Ok?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I just used a build prop editor and set the default mobile network to 0 instead of 4 then rebooted
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
As you foretold, here I am reporting a Browser FC and sync issues. I'm on AOKP 10/29. It FC every time i start the app fresh. I see that you fixed the issue by using an older version of the browser, but it looks like it's back in this recent version of AOKP.

I can include a logcat next time if you'd like.

I've searched through the thread but this doesn't seem like a common issue. Was there something I missed that I was supposed to flash?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
How old is that post of mine that you referenced? I think that is from when I was still porting AOKP. Right now, I'm building it from source, so it shouldn't have those issues.

I have just opened the stock browser a dozen times, closed it, killed the app, then reopened it without any FCs....
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
It's from before you started building from source. Hopefully I can fix the issue just by reflashing the ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
The CPU speed is not persistent after a reboot despite using the set at boot option.it gets reset back to 1400MHz after a reboot!

Build 2 of Milestone 1 is UP

Should have proper settings for CDMA/GSM/USSC as well as tweaks and primary sd.

Only real changes with AOKP is some weather and mms stuff

CHEERS!

PS Should show up on your GooManager as an available OTA Update.

If you haven't flashed Aroma before, before flashing, either use Aroma-Prep or do Report Error, Show Log before flashing

If you get an error Status 0 after flashing is done and everything (when you choose reboot), disregard it...it installs fine. It's a non-issue :D​
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
A full wipe and reflash fixed the FC problem, but I still have the browser sync issue. It only synced the first time I logged into my gmail account.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Question...did you update your Gapps framework before syncing? I know there are some updates even since the latest released Gapps...
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
I may have updated/installed some other gapps from the Play Store if that's what you're asking. Do you think syncing the browser before doing that should fix the problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
Hey Th3Bill I just installed your latest build 2, but GSM does not work. Did a full wipe. Under Mobile network setting its showing CDMA. When I went to phone info it showed GSMprl. I tried both the tweak and non tweak but still the same results. Thanks for your work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
Chrome keeps crashing for me. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm on the latest version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Chrome isn;t going to work on JB ot ICS until Moto gives us the drivers we need, which isn't going to happen, so it's either Gingerbread for you, or use a different browser that doesn't use Hardware Acceleration....just the facts of life, my man
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What recovery are you using? That's the only thing I can think would be causing the issue. I actually flashed this one just for kicks and did GSM even though I don't have GSM where I am. It came up with a 0 in the ro.telephony.default_network, and the gsm libmoto_ril.so, and of course, I had no signal...

I'm using the latest CWM that I uploaded.
[Motorola Photon 4G] testok3000:
I flashed the last version aokp_sunfire-ota-eng-Milestone_1_b2_aroma.zip, and found a bug. When open led-light from status bar by pushing switch button, just a while the system crashed and phone rebooted. I tried twice and it appeared the same.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
I flashed the 11/4 newest build and have been messing around with it for about a day now. I like the new weather gadgets on the lockscreen, it's good on battery and I haven't found many bugs yet.

I am on US Cellular and I had to go to build.prop and change the ro.telephony.default_network = 4 to a 7, otherwise when I went to "open apns" and picked the USCC APN, it disappeared after I entered my username and password and hit 'Save'. Changing the 4 to a 7 made it stick, then I deleted CDMA0 and CDMA1 APNs, rebooted in rocovery, cleared Cache, cleared Dalvik Cache, fixed permissions and rebooted. MMS works sending and recieving great!!!!! This is what I had to do being a US Cellular customer only, not sure about Sprint or other networks.

Thanks again for all the work you do on these roms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
Wow, i love the battery life on this rom. Its just as well as CM7. Very nice. Great job th3bill and jokersax.
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
forgot to attach the pic.. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
Just noticed something acting buggy on my phone. On the lock screen, I went to settings and enabled the weather panel so it would show up. I didn't select location so it would use gps to determine my location. For some reason the location name is stuck on Dallas even though the weather appears to be the same weather as my current location in central Iowa.

I am on the latest 11/4 build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
Ah OK... I was wondering if that was the problem but figured I'd ask since I didn't find anything when I searched for Chrome in the thread. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
by the way where can i download? the ROMOptions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] westcal98:
I hope this helps. I honestly don't remember if this actual location is where I got the RomOptions since it's under the MIUI rom, but it may be worth a shot.

http://goo.im/devs/Th3Bill/MIUIAndroid/Photon/ROMOPTIONS
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i'll give it go...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
If I remember correctly, starting with this last build (11/4), I think the Romoptions zip is now built in to the ROM zip so you shouldn't have to worry about RomOptions now. I know it's that way with CM10 ROM anyway.

Hope it's not too late.....:eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
I downloaded the latest build but there is no option for me to choose GSM....i must be doing something wrong but i don't know what....help guys?!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
... The OP clearly has a link for rom options v3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i have downloaded Options v3 but when i flash it there is no GSM options in it....i don't know why....i redownloaded it 3 times already i'm using Th3Bill's recovery....
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
The GSM option is in the latest build, not in ROM options.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
I downloaded the latest build and flash it but there is no GSM option there too.....help guys pls...thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
Download the latest build of AOKP (Milestone b2) and you can see there is GSM tick option.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
will try it out after i put some juice on my worn out MoPho....^_^

Youll only see the GSM/CDMA settings in options chooser if you select to edit system settings at the first prompt. But yeah, latest build has it built in.

Milestone 1_b3 is uploading as I type this. Should be up in about 5 minutes.

No real huge changes...few things in multi MMS. They're not really working towards anything additional for JB. Looks like AOKP is going to be on standby until after new Android version releases.

I was coming from CM10 so I told Aroma to full wipe and install AOKP v4. Wiped fine, installed no system files.

Tried re-downloading the files. Recharge and going to reflash.

Edit

're-downloaded.. flashed with full wipe, cdma, tweak, emmc.

Wiped fine, flashed, rebooted. Into recovery without me doing anything. Reboot system, came back too recovery.

Figured why not flash again the same. This time it took.

Flashed options 3.

System running good. Kind of wished it had the new CM file manager.

The modifications that we can do on our own of the 4.2 files like the keyboard, Gmail, and clock.

Love the work Th3bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nuformzdesign:
This latest build is the first one I've ever had issues with. I've been on AOKP since July, always flashing over with the new builds.

This time, flashed ROM, flashed options chooser, rebooted to find it had no data connection. I checked the roaming mode and when set to "home only" I got nothing. Setting to "automatic" got me data, but it showed roaming. Checked the build.prop and changed the line

"ro.telephony.default_network=4" to

"ro.telephony.default_network=0"

Rebooted and this has gotten me data, but now next to the signal strength indicator it shows "1X" instead of 3G. Interestingly enough though, my data speeds are definitely 3G, not 1x. Is this just a case of a mismatched icon?

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
AOKP Milestone 1 b4 is running pretty good.

Battery and Bluetooth icons can't be changed, but the rest can. Probably an AOKP problem and not a Th3Bill problem, just throwing it out there. WiFi icon is always white like it's not connected, but it is. This is with default Holo blue color and what I changed it to, harlequin green (#3fff00), which is my official color for every foreground element I can change (background being either black or a midnight blue).

Trying JusTunBean's inverted Gapps package instead of the 10/11 Gapps from Goo.im I've had before. This should be interesting. (I know that's unsupported and won't ask for help for their modded stuff.)

Minor point: If you don't install Gapps, the leftmost dock icon in Nova says "App isn't installed". Goes to Google Now if Gapps is installed. Just a minor point, I'm not sure if anyone here wants Android minus Gapps (and if they do, they can change the shortcut).

Anyway, I'm already loving AOKP. I liked it enough before, and I can't remember why I dropped it (probably to go back to PA?) but I think AOKP will be my daily driver now. I was waiting for CNA, but it looks like AOKP will do what I want. Just gotta change the silly boot animation. I'll use the regular Stargate boot animation from CM10... would be neat if it said "A.O.K.P." instead of CyanogenMod, but it's a minor flaw.
[Motorola Photon 4G] retailguy:
I haven't flashed anything since ICS Milestone 6. I was going to flash the new JB Milestone 1 tonight, but I can't download the Aroma Prep file, which is hosted on jokersax and is down. Can I get this file anywhere else, or are better descriptions available for manually preparing to use Aroma? I searched a bit but didn't find anything other than what is in the 1st post and I was confused...

Thanks.

Not able to set CPU freq at boot

Th3Bill thanks for all the efforts in making photon a wonderful phone with JB irrespective of Moto's un-helpful nature.

guys i am not able to change the CPU Frequency and keep it that way after reboot. i chaged the CPU frequency in ROM control option and keep set on Boot option enabled, but after reboot it goes back to old setting of Mhz. Am i forgetting soemthing here ?

Did some search in XDA but no result
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Bill (and others), I'm getting really freaking phenomenal battery life on AOKP M1 b4. And I have yet to turn off sync. 14h 39m, 41% remaining. Now, screen hasn't been on for most of that, but I've been taking calls on Bluetooth (and it's been on WiFi most of the night). Much better than I got on CM10 and for less effort.

I don't much care for the AOKP toggles, as opposed to the CM toggles. I like having brightness (Dim/100%) as a toggle, though having the slider and setting it responsibly might be better for me, especially once we get to 4.2 and the toggles are in that "second pull-down". I do like being able to set vibrate/no vibrate and silent/loud separately; I just plain don't like vibrate on a phone, though I do like the vibrate recorder. That is cool as hell. (Now I like force feedback on my wired Xbox controller, for playing Skyrim... I just don't dig it on a phone.)

And Bill, I gotta ask... Is your name based on this? I was looking somebody up who was in something... I forget who... and that show came up in their filmography. So... Just wondering, man. Thanks for the great ROM.

Oh, here's an action shot of what I'm starting to call "my custom UI overlay" running on AOKP. It's basically a combination of whatever green theme I'm rocking (currently, Kiwi Cobalt -- thanks for the Cobalt recommendation, BTW), whatever clock widget I'm rocking (currently, HD Widgets... and the clock widget has since changed), a dark blue or black background, and MetroStation icons. The green is specifically "Harlequin Green", or #ff3fff00 (FF 3F FF 00). Many of the icons are folders, and the launcher is Nova Prime. I dig it. It's a uniform look, more uniform than iOS, in fact (which only has common icon shapes, not a common design) but distinctly Android with the widgets. I would use an AOKP unicorn for the app drawer if MetroStation offered it, but they only have Android and Andy (Android on a skateboard, waving) in terms of mascots.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
I'd been sitting on the 10/23 build for a while now since everything was working superb!

Since I changed service providers and moved from a CDMA to GSM provider I decided to flash the latest.

1. Flashed TheBill's recovery - Awesome. The look and feel is much better now

2. Flashed the M1 B4 Rom - Super smooth sailing

3. Flashed the Options Chooser V4 - No issues again

All working fine, except that I use the Nova launcher and the screen transitions are a little laggy now. Apart from that everything else seems good!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
that's on b3, right? I just realized that the build.prop had the line in there. b4 doesn't (the script that runs during the install adds the line in there).

Icons are same, so should be working correctly...very odd...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I have a buddy name Ron, and when we get together, we're really loud. My wife started calling us "The Ron" and "The Bill", and it just stuck...LOL. When I went to look into that, it just seemed kinda stupid, so I did Th3Bill, as it looked a bit more unique :D

Weird that the battery life took a nose dive on GSM despite the better network coverage :(

Strange thing, I connect blue tooth and the phone goes into vibrate mode. I switch back to ring. Connect blue tooth and switches back to vibrate.

Gonna charge up and try another clean flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
I think even I had the issue of my photon going to vibrate mode sometimes .. but it was only at few instances which couldn't be really produced all the times.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nuformzdesign:
Well, aside from the icon, everything seems to be working fine, except I reverted back to my previous nandroid, and the icon still stayed the same. Still shows 1x when I'm clearly getting 3g speeds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] UCChemE05:
I've had an issue with my phone coming in and out of vibrate mode but haven't been able to track down the reason yet. Guess I'll have to pay attention when connecting/disconnecting to my car's BT (though it seems this has happened during the middle of the workday too). This is the 1st ROM I've experienced this issue... I'll report back once I have some more info...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
There is a setting to change to vibrate/ring when a wired headset, or Bluetooth audio is connected. By default these are both disabled, however. Did you enable one/either?

Settings > ROM Control > Sound > "Headphones plugged in action" and "Bluetooth A2DP connected action" are the settings you want. Check those, ensure they are both set to "Disabled".

Also, Tasker, if you use it, might be doing this; or, if it truly is a bug, can be used to enforce your settings. For me, when it detects a 3.5mm plug but no mic, it sets media volume to 13/15 and starts PlayerPro. Oh, it also sets my brightness to 10%, since I do most of my driving at night. I actually bought Tasker because of a bug that has been in every ICS/JB ROM I have used: Safe headset volume is enforced regardless of the setting. Plugging in any 3.5mm plug sets media volume to either 7/15 or 8/15 -- it's right about half. That's no good for my car stereo's AUX plug. It's too low, and I got tired of setting it manually every time.

Is anyone facing issues with Bluetooth? My Bluetooth just wont start...it keeps on saying Turning Bluetooth on but nothing happens:eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] retailguy:
Nope. My bluetooth works perfectly. I'd suggest a re-install if not too painful. If not, I'm sure someone much smarter than me will be along soon with other things to try, besides clearing cache and davlik cache (you know - the obvious things).
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Bluetooth is just wonky tech. Now, I ask for trouble by nandroid rom shuffling, and it was in the stock ROM (yeah, I was slumming it in the old MotoBlur 2.3.5 ROM) and all of a sudden, up out of the blue, it just Did Not Want To Connect. It was paired but would not connect. Utterly stupid. To be relevant, a problem in 4.1.2 I've had is it will say it's paired and connected, but hey, no audio in the Bluetooth. Nothing to do there but to turn off Bluetooth, turn off the earpiece, and start again.

My next Bluetooth earpiece will have the feature that transmits its status to the helper app on the phone. There are a couple like this. They're a little bit more, but I think I would greatly benefit from it. Without that, you really don't know what's going on. The battery could be low. The bluetooth process on the phone could be hung. Or one or both devices could just be having a bad day. Bluetooth really stinks, but there's no alternative, so it's kind of what we're stuck with.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
They're actually not all that expensive. I have a Jawbone Icon Hero. It's under $40, has the helper app, and has connected to pretty much every build I've correctly made :D
