[Motorola Photon 4G] DarkAndr0id:
Great ROM with good stability, I flashed ICS before but returned to gingerbread because some games were not very responsive but the JB ROMs tempted me so I flashed this one, the only thing that is dificult to live with is the jiggle in the transitions not sure if I used the right word, I hope it gets a fix soon but for now I will keep it, thanks developers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
As odd as this may sound, if you use a Live Wallpaper as your background, it will eliminate 95% of the "jiggles" as you put it LOL. But seriously tho, try it out!
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I don't even use Live Wallpapers and I get a lot of those jittery transitions. Especially in the gallery or swiping through home screens.

I'm also having the problem with the ringtone resetting itself to nothing. And when I connect the phone to the computer as a USB, I lose SwiftKey and have to reset my keyboard.

The internet data is terrible on this one. I used to get a really good signal with other roms, but with this one I'm lucky if I get 1X. 3G is slow as molasses!

The still shot camera barely works. You pretty much have to reboot your phone after taking a picture.

Battery drains itself if I don't leave the phone plugged into the wall at night. It happened the other day, and happened again last night.

I also see that there's another folder (aside from the internal SD card and external SD card) called sdcard in the root. It contains folders for the system and some of my apps. don't know what's going on there.

GoogleNow, maps, and speech to text take forever to respond. Part of the reason is the slow network connection, but it's even slow when I'm connected to WiFi at home! It's really bad.

I'm beginning to question why I keep sticking with this ROM if it's crippling so many functions on the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I was that you SHOULD use a Live Wallpaper as a background...as doing so will ELIMINATE about 95% of the jitters on the home screen transitions...

As for your other issues, I guess that may depend the options you chose during installation. For me, 3G is better than its ever been! I have the standard storage options just like everyone else does on Jelly Bean based ROMs. There is an /sdcard folder (which should be whatever the internal storage is) and then a /storage folder which has /sdcard0 and /sdcard1.

I'm not really sure where to begin to help you with your painfully slow internet connection. I guess my first question would be, what Carrier are you on?
[Motorola Photon 4G] DarkAndr0id:
Jiggles lol, thanks it really helped
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Just read we might not be getting ICS. Checked the moto update page and now it says further plans coming soon
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I read the same as it is postponed until further notice.

Which the funny thing was I went to Motorola because of their good track record on timely updates. Then this happens, which is why we thank our developers for what they do where the mfg fails us.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Alex210:
I tried out some of the other transitions in Apex launcher and after picking Card Stack I haven't had any buggy transitions. Some are really laggy, others lag every so often, but this one has been perfect for the last few days.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I wouldn't lose hope

just yet, remember, Google now owns Motorola and maybe they're just revising the original plans. Better yet, maybe instead of ICS, we're gonna go straight to Jelly Bean. You never know what's actually going to happen until it happens.

Also, another way to get rid of the "buggy" transitions is to use a Live Wallpaper. I've been using Nova Launcher (Prime) with a Live Wallpaper for a while now and haven't had any of the jittery screen transitions. Just figured I'd give you a heads up because it really works!
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I can second that
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
We can only hope bro.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
The carrier is Sprint, but that wouldn't have anything to do with it, because the Internet is laggy even when on WiFi at home. So your answer is pretty much 'sorry, but I can't help you with any of your issues' ?

Maybe I could start all over by wiping everything, re-installing and maybe you can tell me what settings you've had the best experience with during set up?

I don't have an external SD Card right now. I sold my Class 4, 32GB yesterday for $20. Just ordered a new Class 10, 64GB and I should have it in my phone within the next 2 hours.

Thanks for trying to help, bro!
[Motorola Photon 4G] moneymakes:
Sorry to burst your bubble but the photon only supports up to 32 gig cards
[Motorola Photon 4G] psgarcha92:
@moneymakes, and @misfitdeluxe

okay, so i am not sure about this, but, isnt it a game of formats? i mean, a 64GB exFat card might not be supported, and if it doesnt work, try formatting in FAT and see if it does. Because, i have tried this on a media player of mine. and it works with FAT and not exFAT. Correct me if i am wrong.

Regards
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
No, I wasn't saying that at all actually... I just wasn't sure where to start and wanted to know what Carrier because info may or may not be more relevant that way. You're also on Sprint, as am I, so it'll be easy for me to try and help you. I'm on Sprint and don't have any issues with internet speeds and such, so I know it isn't the ROM specifically.

About the memory card, I know others have mentioned that it probably wont work because it says the Photon supports up to 32GB cards. But, isn't that only because at the time of release, 64GB cards weren't officially released yet? Truthfully, you won't know for sure if it works until you try it, so I wouldn't lose hope there yet.

Hey everyone,

I just want to let you know that Th3Bill won't be on today but he'll be back tomorrow!

So, with that said, if you feel like you're being ignored, I promise you're not! Well, maybe some of you are LOL...just kidding ;)

Sincerely,

[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
I have a 64gb SD card on my photon (electrify) for months... works great :)...

never had a issue.

the main reason its marked on the specs is because 64gb sd cards where not released at the time the phone was released (as mentioned above)

all devices follow this trend, the only time I can remember a device not supporting an larger memory card then its specs stated was when SD cards went to SDHC (high capicity) and SDHC cards wouldnt work on devices that where released before 4gb (HC) cards became available (like my old nikon coolpix 4megapixal camera. it took SD memory not SDHC even though they are the same interface.

thats just my experience though.

[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Is there ever the possibility of fixing the stuttering issue on JB? Because, quite frankly, that's the only thing holding me back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Honestly, you can get rid of most of the stuttering issue by simply using a Live Wallpaper. It doesn't help much with the stuttering within Gallery, but it definitely rids the stutters on the home screen and app drawer (assuming you use something like Nova or Apex with settings that enable you to see the Live Wallpaper in the App Drawer).
[Motorola Photon 4G] nuformzdesign:
Sorry if this was already asked, but what's the right screen resolution to set with the tablet UI?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
160
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Any particular live wallpaper? In CM10 I always used Holo Spiral or Phase Beam and still got the stuttering in Nova (free).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
That's actually a good question. I personally use the one with the moving lines and grey-ish background (I'm currently on stock 2.3.4 for a moment and don't know the actual name off the top of my head). But, regardless I didn't think it matter. I do know that it doesn't completely remove the stuttering, but it definitely reduces it by like 90% for me. I'll be back on Jelly Bean by tomo and will do some experimenting with Live Wallpapers because I use Nova Launcher (Prime).
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Nexus.

I was actually fine with the stuttering in CM10 with Apex until a certain update. Switching to Nova made it better for a little while but then it got bad again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kashis32:
That's not true I have a 64 gig and it works fine in all my rooted phones. Of evo 4g, photon 4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Since we are on the same carrier with the same phone, do you think you could tell me what settings you used during set up so I can try that?

P.S. The SD Card didn't work, but it isn't because the phone didn't support it, it was because the card was dead on arrival. I should have gone with the name brand instead of giving some cheap off-brand (Team Group) a chance. Had to do an RMA and I'm waiting for them to ship me a shipping label so I could get an exchange for something else.

64GB SDXC Micro SD Card

I'll get back to you soon about the setting i use/choose in Aroma during installation because I don't honestly remember off the top of my head. What I can say is that I use the built-in (8gb) memory for default storage and I choose the normal build.prop
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Build 3.0 is UP.

Jokersax.com may be shutting down tomorrow, so I am relocating my builds to Goo.im

Link to the Base ROM and Options Chooser are in the OP

It's still a port at this point, but it is built into MY Source-Built CM10 for Photon....so yes, it has the latest fixes

FIrst impressions: Everything works (Phone, data, sms, mms, camera, wifi, bluetooth,)....and Transitional Stutters are a thing of the past :D

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
So what was causing stutters?
[Motorola Photon 4G] matriX1218:
Cool. I love you Bill... ;)

Now only thing I miss is 4G...

Hope devs will make it one day...

Sent from Motorola Photon 4G via Reliance
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
My guess is something in one of the lib patches on last release. Lots of changes in cm this time
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Cool well everything is running smoothly :D good work bill!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
is it because I exlusiuvely use launcher pro that I do not see any of these stuttering issues, ever...not once?

I use to also go between launcher pro and the stock miui launcher...but launcher pro is the shizzle....I dont use a live wallpaper and I dont have any stuttering issues....

however programs every once in a while just randomly restart.. for example if I open the browser, it comes up, I start to search and then it randomly disappears and comes back right away....like it restarted.. happens (to me) on a few programs including the dialer

maps and ussd codes

Hi just two things I notice the maps app its drainning most of my battery even if I don't use it too much I don't know if this is normal is like in 20%, also in my country the ussd code for checking the balance doesn't respond.

Hi does anybody have problem with titanium backup app. It disappeared after 3.0 update and if I download it from the market it downloads completely but refuses to install and shows the error incompatible update

jellybean popping on Cm10
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Try flashing this zip. Its the latest Titanium Backup (updated today to version 5.6.0). I redid the zip to actually work as the "create update.zip" function within the app doesn't.

TB v5.6.0 download

Note: this will install it to /data (which is the same as if downloaded from the Play Store).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Odd....I just installed it on CNA 3.6, which is pretty much same build version as 3.0 AOKP

After two days, the straight CM10 is just about perfect for me. No stutter.

Car home seems to do a half-launch though, audio is routed and Car Home is in the tray but pressing home doesn't bring up Car Home. Might be something I did.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Well any build is consider Beta at this point. But, I think "b" is just the latest build Th3Bill has up right now. It would be the one you wanna flash as it has the latest fixes.

And no, Gapps are usually never built in. You would need to flash the Options Chooser zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
Found it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just upped new build based on my CM10 9.29. This should have the latest of everything in it :D

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Flash my root fix zip (v2). You can find it here.

You can also find instruction here if you're unsure what to do.

That should restore your root access :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Trying to install with TWRP can't get ver. c to run no matter how I wipe.

Going to try ver. b to see if that works.

Is anyone else getting stuck bootlooping after installing ver. c?

Edit: I just installed and set up ver. b without a problem. Booted up just fine and is working normally.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Did anyone succeed with version c. installing and booting up properly?

If so, did you install version b. first then c. over it?

What recovery are you using? How is everything running on it?

Does the setup install Apollo no matter what? During the setup, I didn't select a music player at all. Is it safe to remove Apollo using Titanium, or do you think it'll break something if I do? Does the system need to have a default music app in order to work properly?

On another note; I am running version b. Stutters during transitions are mostly gone now. Still got a few stutters when scrolling through "my apps > all" in the Play Store, but other than that, it's been smooth as butter! Running kernel version 1.4 not the 1.3.

Purchasing apps is not possible with version b installed. The buy and accept button will not respond no matter where you press on the screen. To buy an app, I had to do it through my web browser on my desktop pc and sent it to my phone that way.

The navigation buttons (menu, home, back & search) do not work as they should. To get them to light, you will have to manually change the screen brightness and they will light up.

Tried the video camera and it was really slow responding to which direction I pointed the camera. I thought I was recording for at least a minute, but when I went to look for the video to play it, it was not anywhere in the gallery? Might have to use VideoCam Illusion for now.

Bluetooth works better, but while connected, I'm still unable to control volume through the steering wheel or head unit in the car. I could skip through tracks that way, but the volume still isn't working. At least the phone doesn't reboot if I turn off bluetooth after I leave my car! That's what used to happen when you had a fully functional Bluetooth connection in one of the older ROMs. This is no big deal. I could live with the Bluetooth just the way it is. Not complaining, just reporting back my findings.

Thank you for all the work you've put into this! It's coming along great!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
I have same issue with version "c". Stuck bootloader with AOKP horse head ))) ANd one error notification in recovery menu - "E: cant mount recovery etc..." forget what words was here, but it was.
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
Sorry that I can't be of any help, but what recovery are you running? I was using TWRP and I didn't get that error, so I am curious as to what recovery you used.

Also, do you remember what kernel you picked during the installation process? I went with 1.4 thinking that the latest is probably the most stable, but then if it is, why would they include the 1.3 version?

Maybe the install works with kernel 1.3?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
I use jokersax recovery v3. I try both of kernels and had same results. But I think 1.3 is more stable kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Both are pretty good and reliable :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] jmrubel77:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You should be able to just UN-select reboot phon at the end of installation, then when you hit recovery again, flash options
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's actually in my "Options" folder...just surf around a little in my section on Goo...it's there :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nibble13:
after flash AOKP 4.0, i feel my phone response quickly and touch smooth than ver 3.0.

you are awesome, Bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, the CM10 build has been MUCH improved and updated, so that along with other great bits from the team at AOKP really make this an awesome rom. I'm running it now, and really don't want to have to flash away from it to test any of my other builds...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
So this rom is better than PA ?, (of course people have different tastes )
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
I try this method. But when I try to flash Options.zip after ROM.zip the recovery says "E:can't open /tmp/recovery.log" flashing aborted. Then I reboot phone, go to recovery again and flash Options with no problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
Does Maps still have issues with the blank screen in AOKP 4.0 and does stock MMS work perfectly out the box with the default messaging app? How about bulk text messages that are larger than 160 characters. Those are all my reasons for recently leaving 4.0+ for a 2.3 rom. Sadly, CM7 has its own problems (which I just figured out after 8 hours spent setting the phone up.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Blank screen thing will most likely be an intermittent thing...due to libs issues. I am using maps now, and it shows my location...

MMS works send and receive out of the box (all my builds do).

I just sent myself a txt of 230 characters and it came across split up in 2 txts :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Worst case scenario, choose manually to reboot device while holding down the volume down button and go back into recovery :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
Well AOKP 2.0 and 3.0 were pretty nice and if you are telling me 4.0 is even better then I might check it out but the Maps glitch is a real pain. I know that an older version of Maps never did it (back on CM9) but I'm not sure if I can even run that version of maps on a 4.1 rom, even if I was to restore it using Titanium Backup. In the end Maps was the real deal breaker for me. I gotta have it stable because I don't like ****ing with my phone while I'm driving and no other GPS app is better than Maps.

Th3Bill, do you mind explaining to me what the difference is in the build.prop between between choosing the value of 7 or 4 on the line:

ro.telephony.default_network=

I know that 0 is GSM. As a Sprint user I had always thought that our value was supposed to be 7 but I'm not sure if thats what is best. Would changing that value to 7 have any effect on MMS/SMS? Even when running AOKP 2.0 I couldn't send messages beyond 160 characters and there was no option in the default program to split them so I'd always install GoSMS just so I could have the split. I also found it strange that even though I could send an image using MMS, I couldn't send large amounts of text as a MMS message using GoSMS so I'm wondering if I ****ed one up somehow. Other than my SMS/MMS problem and the maps glitch your rom was a pleasure to use!
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
one thing i noticed when i was done installing this rom , is that theres no toggle buttons for mobile data & 2G/3G & other than that great as i would expect from dev likes you :]
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I tried the new version 4.0, but I had to revert back to the last version because you have to do a battery pull if you reboot. This one gets stuck at the boot up screen when you reboot. I didn't wipe but some of my apps that I had installed were missing after the upgrade.

Bluetooth & minor jitters still aren't fixed on the new one, so it's not going to hurt me to go back to the old one.

Please note that the minor jitters I am experiencing may just be my phone lagging a little bit. Although I did get a score of 6549 in the AnTuTu benchmark. That's pretty good isn't it?

Also, can someone else please try out Google Sky Maps and see how that looks? That was where I noticed the jitters most. Scrolling through home screens and menus is 98% smooth, which I think is fantastic! It actually feels like I got a new phone!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:

also no missing apps here after the update.
