I wasn't on v3, I was on TWRP, so I started with Bear's instructions, then switched to yours. Steps:

1. Rebooted to recovery.

2. Flashed Joker's v3 recovery.

3. Rebooted to recovery.

4. Flashed Aroma prep.

Problem: v3 won't reboot to recovery, only to System. Holding Vol. Down doesn't let me jump into the boot options (pretty sure I could do this before)

5. Rebooted to system; from system, rebooted to recovery. Waiting for "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app x of y".

6. Flashing ROM... Okay, touch works in Aroma! So far so good! Going with Full Wipe. CDMA tweak, using SD Card as Storage, Joker's 1.3 kernel, and the USCC fix (not USSC, haha -- though I don't know what the second C is, it's just US Cellular).

7. Reboot to Recovery.

8. Flashing Options (1D, but says 1B). Gapps, Nova/Xpeira, Solid file manager, all Gapps but Talkback and Mags. Again touch works. Reboot to system.

9. Reboot to recovery, flash Bluetooth fix. Ha ha. Very funny... Remind me never to piss off a ROM developer again...

//edit: Evernote seems to work. I'm gonna take Bill's and Jleeblanch's advice and just not restore from Titanium. I love the app, but Bill's comments about the framework changes convinced me it's just a bad idea. It'll take time, but at the same time, I'll restore apps as I need them. Cut down on a lot of the fluff that way. I had a lot of stuff I wasn't using.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would say that SOME apps, you could restore, but not ALL....it really is hit or miss. I would say make a nandroid of your initial install (and maybe some downloaded apps you definitely want), then try restoring some of them...if it doesn't work, you have your nandroid to fall back on. :) I have had some adventures with the app, and had found out the hard way that it doesn't really look for compatibility. I remember when I first started doing MIUI ICS (before I really knew a lot about all this), we would have people telling us (Spleef and I) that this and that was broken, and we couldn't figure out why we couldn't reproduce the error. Turned out, they were restoring apps that weren't compatible with the latest Android...OR with MIUI itself. The real fun would come when someone restored something from CM7 or Blur, as nearly ALL apps were compatible with that. :eek:

Hey...like I said before.. feedback is good...but...give me a logcat and a little bit of time, and I can many times fix it. I honestly want to have everyone enjoy my work, but as I have said...with 16 ROMs on 3 devices, I'm a bit spread thin at times. :silly:

Believe me...you don't even want to see the kind of things that Berniesteven had to go through to help me get the Atrix MIUI builds working right back in the day. He and I spent a few ours with me sending him attempts at the ROM only to have it fail to boot before I finally got it right.

Sounds like all is well with it now? If not, get me a logcat, and I'll work on a fix. Other users and I will BOTH thank you for that. :laugh:

One PS....you don't need to do the Aroma prep again...it's just a one time thing...what it does is clear the /tmp (which seems to unfortunately be a /permanent on the Photon) so that anything in there that might cause issues with Aroma is no longer there. That's why recovery didn't want to come up...phone has to boot and allow /tmp to have a few things in there for recovery to come back up.

I'm having trouble finding voice to text. That button on keyboard.

I assume its part of the option chooser, no luck finding it. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I feel I owe you guys an apology. I pretty much stand by what I originally said, but it wasn't taken how I intended, and I gotta take at least some of the blame for that. Especially with what I said to Jleeblanch (now deleted). That was ultimately meant in jest, but it wasn't very clear, so, sorry about that. And Bill, I have nothing but respect for what you do here. Don't let anything anyone says take away from that.

I'm running CM7 now... I've been tired of jumping from ROM to ROM for a while now. None of that affected me when I somehow mis-flashed PA 2.13, but I was thinking about chilling on CM7 for a while. But before I dumped PA 2.13, I did get Bluetooth working, and Evernote working as well. I never installed Swype, so I'm not sure about that. As for logcat, I just pulled one for CM7 because apparently it will drop data after disconnecting from WiFi (or something). If Tapatalk could attach files, it would be easier (I could have sworn it could at one point) as I have to use an actual PC to attach the logcat (as far as I know). I guess I could put it on Dropbox and get a link, or something like that. I will probably be back to the Android 4.x scene sooner or later, but I'm gonna rock GB for a bit.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No problems....I don't hold grudges, bro. I'm someone who works hard to do this right...case in point, I've been working now for the better part of 20 hours (I **** you not...I slept 2 hours last night) to fix MIUI right before releasing it because things changed SOO much, the phone was almost totally borked. I've worked more than 50 hours on Android this week, and average over 40. I'll be the first to admit that at times, I may miss something, but given a chance I'll fix it :D

I just noticed something really interesting in MIUI's latest release...they have framework set up for Tablets. I am going to try to figure out how to initiate tablet-mode on it...should be REALLY interesting :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Well damn, thank you again for your work on our phones.

You don't make it easy for me to dislike MIUI (because I don't like orange (I wanted lemon lime) - can the primary color be changed, by the way?)... I may have to give it a shot when inevitably return to JB.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
MIUI+Paranoid ppi switching! BRILLIANT!!! (Apple is already getting the lawyers together)

dark,

For future reference (and this is for everybody really). When restoring apps in titanium on a new ROM, always restore the app only and not the app+data. This has kind of been the "safe mode" rule as far back as I can remember that saves you from a lot of headaches later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
This is the first jellybean rom I've given a proper try and I've got say I'm absolutely loving it.. Thank you so much for your work Joker and Bill...

It runs pretty smoothly for the most part, some stutters in between.. sadly I can only imagine right now what it would be like with proper drivers and kernel support... grr motorola!

I do miss webtop but am still getting stuff done with dolphin,drive and quickoffice set to tablet ui..

There are a couple of issues i wanted to raise..

1. When i installed the gapps from your optional package, I didn't get now. It installed old search. I then reflashed and installed the gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip and I got properly working NOW.

2. I can't make voice or video calls in gtalk. Is that normal or the gtalk in your optional package can do that but the talk in the package I installed has a problem.

3. When in chrome, tapping on tab changer icon just causes it to close. Is that normal for everyone else?

Thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
OK, sorry I haven't given feedback sooner, life has been a little crazy for me lately (sick kiddos and girl now) but anyway, here goes...

So, like I had said, I did download and flashed PA 2.13 a few nights ago, everything went as smooth as always for me. My steps were, flash Aroma-Prep, reboot recovery, flashed ROM zip, rebooted recovery, flashed options 1D.

After I was up and running, I did notice (as some have mentioned) that the Quick search app was still installed along with Google Now. When tapping the Search bar, the old school quick search came up instead of Google Now. Being that G-Now was installed, all I did was deleted the quick search apk from the /system folder which fixed that issue. Not really an issue tho. Normally when installing Gapp zips, it deletes the existing quick search because Google Search (G-Now) takes its place.

Other than that, this ROM is as good as any other ROM I've used recently, and I use them all (except for MIUI).

I guess all that's left to say is, Th3Bill, great job as always man! No issues here. Been using it for a few days now and haven't ran into any issues what so ever :)

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

I believe the issue with Google Now is possibly because the Quick Search apk isn't being deleted when flashing the Options zip. I'm willing to bet that Google Now was still installed, it just wasn't coming up as the primary search. But regardless, you got it working.

As for G-Talk, I can't say either way. I don't video chat anyone to know if it works or not. But Chrome on the other hand, I would say that's probably normal. Nobody has really had any good luck there because it requires native libs that us Photon owners don't have yet. All in due time :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
K, thanks for your reply. If anyone knows whether any particular version of gtalk works fine with this ROM in regard to voice and video chat... please let me know.

Edit: tried jokers gapps v3 as well..still same issue with talk... voice and video don't work.. must be a driver thing I guess..

Just noticed another issue..street view keeps force closing if you try and rotate the view around. Again, this happening to everyone it just me..?
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
Just noticed the updated installer at jokersax. Installed was smooth and the dock audio is working great. Thanks!

Edit: Scratch that. Dock audio is only working when I connect the aux cable to the headphone jack, while docked, then I unplug it and move to the dock cable. Would a logcat be useful?

Problems with SD card on this ROM

My 2 favorite ROMs for Photon thus far have been CodeNameAndroid and this ROM. I was having some problems with the 9.20 build of CNA, so I thought I'd give this ROM another try.

I encountered 2 significant issues with this ROM:

- About 5 of my apps (AppManagerPro, Blacklist, CallerID, FolderOrganizer, InoMail) do not load properly with this ROM. (I had this same problem with CNA ver 9.20) The problem is that after I load (or even reload the app), if I go into the "Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded" menu or look in the App drawer, I see a generic Android icon in place of the app's icon and name of the app is wrong.

- After loading this ROM, I found that I could not access the external mSD card. (I normally use the external mSD for app data and music storage.) I could access the internal storage, but the phone would not mount the external mSD (either during boot or by going into the "Settings -> Storage" menu. I also found that if I tried to change the USB access for the storage (like to "media"), the Settings app crashed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Sounds like you may be using Internal Storage as the default instead of your External Storage (removable memory card). What did you choose for a storage option during the Aroma install?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
I selected "external" storage for apps/media during install. It just didn't seem to work on that ROM. It does work on the CNA ROM though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You're options were either "sdcard" or "emmc". If I remember correctly, I think they may be backwards which means you would need to select "emmc" for your External memory to be default storage.

If you go to < Settings < Storage what does it show for SDCARD? Look at the amount of total storage. You should be able to tell whether internal or external storage is being used as the SDCARD...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
OK... I installed just the Paranoid ROM package (not the "chooser" package) on top of CNA (ver .20) and did just a "wipe devik and cache", and the mSD card is now working. :) Last time I tried to install the Paranoid ROM, I installed it over the same CNA ROM and did a "wipe system and cache", and then installed the "chooser" package, but the mSD card didn't work. Not sure why? Both times I selected the external (SD) storage for apps and media during the install.

Still have the same bug with about 5 of my installed apps though (see my message a few posts back), and I wasn't having problems with those apps on CNA ver 9.12.

BTW... What does the "Bluesleep" ROM fix do?

Not fully guaranteed that I can't figure something out. I am looking for full source from the other devices that have official ICS and a Tegra2 processor. I may be able to get something done out of there if I am working from a source build :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1876421

Though in a LG forum they were saying the Source above wont help them.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836191

Part of the above link to simplify:

arcee:	the problem is that nvidia chose a very uncommon approach to their android design

arcee:	in particular, the userspace libraries and HALs have a ton of hardware-specific logic

arcee:	**** that on other platforms is confined to kernel space (like "how to enable the audio amplifier" or whatever), is put in libraries when it comes to tegra

arcee:	so for the most part, you can _not_ use a device's libraries on another, unless they share the same hardware components

arcee:	and since nvidia publishes zero code, we can't just write our own

tonyp:	iirc even things like auto brightness are controlled with nvidia libs?

arcee:	yes. sensors, in this case

Quote:

tonyp:	and how specific is this implementation - would we need another device which uses the star platform (which aren't many) or could the Samsung Galaxy R for example help as well

tonyp:	you wrote at Twitter that the ZTE Grant (or Mimosa) X won't really help

arcee:	at all

arcee:	the star, the galaxy R, and the grand X are completely different devices

arcee:	different components, different resolutions, different radios

arcee:	different audio amps, different panel manufacturers, different almost everything

arcee:	the designs have nothing in common other than being T2

I know you spoke of Source and the Tree.. and am sure both you and Jokersax has seen this and worked with it. But would :

We may be in luck.. per Nvidia's page that the Samsung Captivate Glide (A Tegra 2 device) in which on Samsung page will get an official ICS update.

Captivate Glide (SGH-i927 )ICS Update is Available! (AT&T)

We may be able to work those drivers hopefully if we can get a source for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Samsung Galaxy R or I9109 is a tegra 2 chipset that was updated to ICS officially.

Here is a link to the samsung source update page.

As for the "device tree files for a Tegra 2", I am not sure.. but pulling anything that can help you.

Alright well enough for now, before work gets upset with me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cyberdog433:
I know it's not a phone and a tablet, but what about using the driver files/source from the Xoom? - Same Tegra2 chipset, also made by Moto, so presumably they would have similar drivers for the core chipset. (Just a bigger screen and no voice capability). - Just a thought, unless was discussed previously and I missed it. The EOS guys have done wonders with the Xoom and leaks for official roms have been released.

So a bug I've been having occasionally, and a reboot fixes it, is some sound will not work at all. For example I will get a ring for my phone, answer, and I can't hear anything but I am heard. The same occurs for outgoing calls. Another similar issue I've noticed is with Google Now where even though all my volumes are at max, I get no sound from it all.

Other than that though it's been a great ROM so far. Any of the other issues I've experienced I'm just assuming are due to not having drivers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
I was just experiencing that the during the past few days. No sound at all during a call, incoming or outgoing. As an experiment, I connected my BT headset and was able to make a call just fine. After a reboot, the phone earpiece worked as expected. Then later, I was on another call and the audio would keep cutting out... normally I would just attribute that to a bad connection, but I was talking to a landline and I was at my house where I normally have a strong signal.

I've been patiently waiting for Th3Bill to update PA with a source built version, but I may load up one of the others, probably AOKP, while I wait.

Flashed the ROM and latest Gapps last night. So far so good!

Big fan of the native WiFi tether working in infrastructure mode, so I can use it with my nook color! Having a notification toggle for that is perfect.

Now, a couple of questions. First, is there a way to enable MTP mode? If you tick the box under storage settings, Settings will crash. This has happened on every JB ROM I've tried it on, so its not a new thing.

Second, is there a way to boost the dock audio output? With a few of the podcasts I listen to, I have to max out my stereo volume just to hear them. Granted, other sounds like notifications are deafening when they come through. Again, this is isn't new on this ROM, just a general inquiry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm going to look into those 2. I really don't have a dock, so it's tough for me to test. Can you do me a favor? I know there are a few audio mods out there. Can you test them out and let me know if any of them help? I would, but I only have the photon with me a short amount of the day (it's my daughter's phone now). ;D
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
Neither of these are critical by any means. So, take your time.

The dock audio thing is just a personal taste thing. Honestly, for most apps the max audio level is fine. I've only really noticed that I can't get some of my podcasts to a suitable volume, which is probably more an issue with the recordings themselves.

By audio mods, do you mean things like Beats Audio or Volume+? All of the DSP managers or volume modifiers I've found don't allow you to adjust the dock audio. They'll have settings for the speaker, headphones and bluetooth.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Skaarg:
So far great ROM you get my thanks for this! Pretty much every bug I was experiencing before hasn't shown it's ugly face so far. There is one thing though that I'm not sure if it is a bug, forgotten feature, or something else. I have my phone in Tablet UI mode and when I click the notification bar and then the settings button none of the quick settings are present. There is just a button for going to the full settings screen. This worked without problems in the last release. Is anybody else experiencing this or should I maybe try doing a clean wipe? I installed this over my old ROM without a clean slate.
