Hey Th3Bill

GSM doesnt seem to work with this version of Paranoid Android (i was so excited about testing this build)

also what Gapps are supposed to be installed on this version??

Regards

EDIT: I even tried changing ro.telephony.default_network=

value to 0, but to no avail (tried both on AOKP 7 build and Paranoid Android 1.9.5). The problem was that after editing the build.prop, the values on both the ROMs reverted back to their default values.Even tried pulling and pushing build.prop via adb, but it started giving an error saying Fily System is Read Only. And yes i had set R?W mode in Root Explorer before editing build.prop

i also do not know how to logcat this particular issue and any other whatsoever. Any help will be appreciated.

EDIT 2:

I pulled build.prop from the phone, edited it in Wordpad, and moved it to the phone, and from the EMMC moved the build.prop to /system/

Restarted the phone and it doesnt get past the Motorola Logo. Please help guys.

On MIUI 2.8.10 GSM works fine.

Please help Th3Bill

Regards

Was unable to install apps after flashing the fix, kept saying I had no space left dispite have 2.2gb free

restored the services.jar from the rom and it fixed it.

Great work on the rom btw, I'm am really loving it :highfive:

Only major bug I have is that I can't seem to download any of my paid apps off the market, I always get errors or package file is invalid, any fix for that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Was this a full-wipe install? If not, need to wipe data.

To try to fix the error with market, go to apps in settings, choose the market app and clear data on it. Or, remove your google account from your phone then re-set it up. Sucks, but sometimes with these roms, that seems to be the case....

Test MMS Fix for PA 1.9.5 for Photon​
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
Im loving this rom ! 1.9.5 :D

but im on gsm so I cant get it to work :( , when you get to edit the ro.line and change the 7 to 0 , save and then reboot , i'm supposed to get my gsm signal and everything ? , cause when i reboot , all i get is the R on top of the signal , i can receive calls but when I wanna get my mobile data to work , all i get is cdma settings , no gsm :(

what can i do to get this to work ?

Greeat job man ! cheers
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Th3Bill

I feel like I'm your rom tester haha .

Okay can you point me out to the correct kernel for this? I always seem to be using olegs v7 ICS because of the multi touch issues on jokers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Another suggestion for getting apps to download from the Play Store is to clear data on Google Services Framework in Settings/Apps/All section then reboot. Afterwards and you shouldn't get anymore errors trying to download apps from the Play Store!

Hope that helps!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Anybody get mms send/receive on stock app working on 1.9.5 yet. If so how?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
this didn't work for you?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Nope.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
what apns do you have set? are you on CDMA Sprint?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Thanks for your replies. Instead of playing twenty questiins. I will ask the question again do you or anybody else have mms working and if so how?

I am quite familiar with the different apns and settings!

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
I'll put all problems out right now

The camera doesn't exist which KINDA sucks.

The lack of the battery bar feature like in other ROMs is kinda sad.

Also something I would like.

I like the tablet mode status bar BUT.

It would look better if it were on the top and didnt have the menu. I enjoy how it opens from the corner. But seeing as Mopho already has its own menu buttons that you can't disable, its pretty pointless.

Just my 2 cents
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
If you haven't done so yet, do the build.prop edits specified here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29684479&postcount=290

Try replacing the MMS.apk with the one from AOKP Build 8. If that doesn't work, install GoSMS. It seems to handle MMS just fine. I have working MMS this way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
*hands you a +1 flame shield* It's served me well in the past…

I didn't get it working on this ROM. I have it in AOKP Build 8. Got it by manually adding US Cellular's APN and I think that was it. That ROM was said to have MMS though. Good luck to ya.

[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
My camera (front facing and rear) work just fine. Stock video camera is still laggy as it has been since ICS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I use Videocam Illusion Pro and Camera Illusion Pro, so I really don't have nothing to complain about. The quality of the 2 are amazing! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
What I mean is the camera app doesn't exist
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
Mine does...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Yeah I had to rip the gallery apks out of the other jb builds and then cut and paste them in system/app- set permissions then reboot and camera then showed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
Mine showed from initial flash...my steps:

1. Flash CM10 twice

2. Flash Paranoid twice

3. Flash JellyApps twice

4. Fix permissions

5. Boot

I did a full wipe before all of these steps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Yeah I'm just gonna give that a go.

Only gonna suck because I have to reconfigure paranoid -.-
[Motorola Photon 4G] ITSAHERO:
MMS still not working

OK, I have paranoid installed and working great but a few things. I still can't get MMS to work. That is also after flash I g the MMS fix. Also my pic gallery will disappear. Other than that, th3bill you have done a great job. Thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
Anyway to get this to work on gsm ? , just like MIUI or aokp :crying:
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
can anyone tell me whether landscape hdmi is working in this rom?

I searched and saw one person said it wasnt working earlier, it was locked in portrait. Is it working now?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Been looking/working on stock mms fix for 1.9.5 but so far no go. Would love to use the JB version of this rom but no mms is a bummer. Don't like go products!

Anyone else find a fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I will have it fixed on the next build. I know the edit now, but I need to have a base update so that I can update to the latest build 1.99, as it requires the use of a method that the current libs aren't set up for :(

AOKP and CNA have working MMS, and if I am correct with the edit, Xenon that I am uploading now will have working MMS as well :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
No GSM for Paranoid ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Only method is the pre-flash change of 4 to 0 in the build.prop. I'll try to make up a flashable zip a lil later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
that means editing the build.prop before i flash , change the 4 to 0 , then flashing ?

i know it sounds easy but i know is a process of tearing down the zip file and sl
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Don't tear it down. If you're on linux, you can actually just open the zip file within File Roller, navigate to the build.prop, edit it, save it, and it will update the rom zip for you. I will make some flashable zips today to try to make GSM work on this. I will need someone to logcat if they do not work. It's a bit of a process, but if you check out my "How To's" thread, the OP has a Logcat how-to that works great on JB. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
I will be happy to try the flashable zips for the gsm to work :D

im gonna check the how-to for the logcat in case it does not work :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Update: Google Now works for me... I had the "missing media/SD card" bug on CNA (although, reading through threads, seems like a wider JB problem), so I wiped all and went to CM10... no data there, so I wiped all again and came back to Paranoid. Mobile data works right away, and after logging into Google, so does Google Now.

Paranoid is my favorite ROM, though I'm not too fond of its boot animation. That's okay, I'll swap it out with the one from CM10. Personal preference but I think the Paranoid "Jelly Bean" animation could be bigger. Like the Paranoid 1.1 animation, it seems like it's made for a smaller screen.

Oh, I accidentally flashed the Joker's Jelly Apps instead of the Hybrid Apps... but I think I accidentally did it right. I think the Hybrid apps are only for CM9? Settings and Gmail still work in hybrid mode.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Any update on the update? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Has this project been abandoned?
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
You have to remember Th3Bill works on like 6 different versions of roms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
I know bill is busy lol and dont mean to sound rude but thanks for stating the obvious ;) lol jk sorry again not meaning to sound rude

Not meaning by Th3Bill, I mean by the actual dev's themselves...i haven't been able to connect to there site in weeks and I can't find any links or news or anything really on 1.9.9...
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
What can you say. We are all flash junkies. We can't get enough flashing done to our phones in a day.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
I think I remember Bill saying he was waiting for Joker to update the base and he was going to update to the newest version of PA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This will be updated tonight. I have all of the builds updated...just have to test and upload them. All based on Joker's 0.2.0 CM10, all with MMS, all with softkey light fix, and should all have dual mount storages. :)

And I actually do the following

Photon-AOKP, CNA, Paranoid, Xenon, MIUI, and help Joker with fixes for CM10

Atrix-AOKP, CNA, Paranoid, Xenon (to be released tonight), MIUI, and help Joker with CM10

Infuse-AOKP, CNA, MIUI

LMAO!
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Do you sleep? lol Or do you dev in your sleep?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1.9.9.1 is UP on Jokersax.com

[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Thanks for the update... so far so good:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
I tested the latest CM10 by joker and it had hdmi mirroring landscape view on the atrix lapdock functioning. Did this carry over to paranoid by any chance??

Anyone who has this flashed and has a lapdock care to check..?

thanks

[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
Thank you! Going to try it now..
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
Just tried the latest rom on the lapdock.. It looks amazing.. Full tablet UI on the lapdock, all smooth without pixelation... There was one weird thing I noticed.. when plugged in, if you did something that caused screen rotation (like run an app that doesnt support landscape orientation and then go back to landscape), all the text and images suddenly became pixelated.. Restarting hdmi mirroring (by closing and opening lapdock screen) would reset this and the image is smooth again.

I also wanted to ask, it it possible to write a script, that when the OS detects hdmi plugged in and recieved signal for hdmi mirroring, it sets the dpi to tablet mode and reboots?

And when removed, it sets it to normal and reboots?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm testing Build 2.00 right now. I've got some installable options in the Aroma build and I want to see how they work real fast before I upload the rom and release it.

According to the Paranoid Android homepage, there are a LOT of changes with this release. Should be up within the hour :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Awaiting patiently :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
I have been following that thread should be amazing.

Thanks so much for keeping this rom up to date.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Also bundle Titanium in this one, too? Paranoid is my favorite ROM. Definitely trying 2.0.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Second Post updated with Screenshots :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.00 is UP on Jokersax.com :)

CHEERS!

Remember to choose at least ONE launcher during the install​
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Another home run! New settings are back to being simple and easy to set tablet mode across system and apps.

Thanks again. Oh and the screen stutter has not shown up so far.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dre89:
Excited. Downloading now.

[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Testing so far just as smooth as CNA :) much better options for the tablet interface, a lot like the ICS version. Haven't ran into any problems and I've been using is all day with 72% battery on 5 hours heavy use.

I will re flash CNA when I get home and list the options that you were wanting me to specify in the CNA thread that I would like to see implemented if possible over to PA
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Stuttering is a little better in my opinion but still randomly occurs. It's not bad enough to turn me away. Great work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dre89:
Checking the Force GPU Rendering under developer options pretty much get rid of it completely

So far so good here, no problems. What I'm waiting on is getting a phone call, at times on 1.99, I'd get a call and have no audio, have to do a reboot and it'd fix it.

Only bug, not a big one, opening and closing the kickstand messes with audio. Closing it with a headset in shifts it to the phone speaker, and opening it disables the rear speaker. Not a big issue though

But this is by far my favorite ROM, awesome work as always Th3Bill
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I have that option checked and for the most part, I don't see much stuttering. I still get it in the gallery when swiping through pictures or zooming in/out. I get it in the app drawer periodically too. It's much improved in my opinion.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Gallery is going to be wonky for now...seems that the HWA settings don't affect it very much.
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I was also happy to see the "hold back to close app" I option back under the developer options. I'm loving this rom!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Which Gapps should we be using? Jelly, right? OP indicates a file named gapps-ics-20120511-fixed.zip. ICS? Or is that information just outdated?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Gapps are packaged in the aroma versions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Oh, right. Brain fart. Carry on.

By the way, my Otterbox Defender hates me because I flash ROMs with Aroma. Pain in the ass to get off. This matters because I have yet to flash a ROM using Aroma without at least one battery pull. Sometimes Aroma locks up. Flashing a ROM using Aroma means I flashed it on my third or fourth try, which means I'm an idiot for doing it right before I have to leave for work. Is it possible Aroma doesn't suck and I'm doing something wrong?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Maybe your phone. Never had issue with aroma best thing since sliced bread.:)

Remember before flashing to

Report error

Show log

Reboot recovery

Install zip.

Aroma themes are cool too!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I'm not running CWM v3, so I don't have those options. If I did and failed to do so, Aroma would just pretend to install but not actually do so (per this topic (or another?), not experience). My issue is a little different. Aroma will lock up and refuse to accept any input, and I must pull the battery.

Aroma is very cool, but it needs 2-3 things to really be neat. One, power button needs to reset it, or pull up a menu that offers to reset or some other things. Two, hitting Next needs to actually work 100% of the time and not scroll back up to the top, sometimes clearing choices. And three, scrolling and tapping needs to be fixed. Scrolling is jittery and Aroma can't decide if it wants single or double taps on check boxes and buttons. It's cool but it is very much a work in progress.

Oh, Titanium is majorly screwed up in this ROM. I don't think it's Bill's fault, though it may need to be installed as a user app (i.e. in \data\app) rather than a system app. Titanium in PA 2 refuses to accept its license. Again I don't think this is Bill's fault. It acknowledges that it can see the license, but says the MD5 doesn't match up. Works fine in CNA though. Titanium is virtually worthless to me if it's locked into the free version. I will contact Titanium's dev about this, and report back with whatever. Good thing I remembered to Nandroid this time (I didn't when going from 3.4.1 to Nightly 9/3) because I Nandroid'd back to CNA 9/3. I suppose I can get PA working right if I don't select Titanium, but take a file manager, and install it manually. I will have to try that later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I actually had a similar issue with Titanium Backup. But, if you read the Help info, it'll mention that if it doesn't except your License.txt file, to just uninstall/remove Titanium and reinstall it.

The reason that happens is because you initially input the License.txt with Titanium being a "user" app (in /data/app) versus being a "system" app (in /system/app).

Personally, if I was you, I would just choose to make an update.zip of Titanium and extract it and manually install it after flashing a new ROM for the first time. Then you won't have issues like that! The Dev will most likely just tell you to uninstall/reinstall.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Man never had any those issues and like I said no issues at all.

Also I only install kernal, gapps and ROM of course. Don't like installing all the other options in the zip. Preference is to install apps after and add them slowly so I don't end up with issues that others always seem to report on here.

Always do complete wipe when I know the main system files have major updates to them also.

Just my preference! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just realized that I have it as a system app....if you look, I have root browser and other user apps going into data. This was a boo-boo on my part, and I'll fix it next time I release. I had fixed it I believe on MIUI...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Th3bill can you take a look at Paranoid Settings/Apps because there are some FC's with some apps depending on the workspace settings. When set at full tablet mode choosing any app in the the apps section causes the PA settings to FC.

Do you know if you used PA Preferences apk 2.0 or 2.1 because the devs said they had some issues with 2.0?

Thanks again!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Found a couple bugs in 2.00, in the settings alone.

No center clock with day of the week. More of an omission really, but I'm calling it a bug. It made CNA awesome.

Seriously though... trying to display the mobile data as text FC's the system and you lose the status bar. Only way to get it back seems to be to put it back on the icon.

Lock screen background can be changed to a custom image in settings, but it doesn't take. Setting still shows custom image selected, but it still uses the same wallpaper as the system (LWP, Holo Spiral).

Otherwise, seems a little smoother than CNA 9/3, so there is that. (Never did try CNA 9/6. Meant to. Never got around to it. Sorry.)

Thanks.

Back on Paranoid 2.00, and I did just that, but the zip wouldn't flash. I had a slightly older copy of Titanium sitting around, so I just installed that manually. Got everything working.

Yeah but that takes too long. I've done the full-reinstall route. Just did it a couple weeks ago... when I should have been sleeping... before a 14 hour drive. Never said I was smart... but under normal circumstances that's a stupid move, IMO. It's got merits but it's a colossal waste of time. Restoring system settings from ROM to ROM can be problematic, but the apps and their data? You're punishing yourself unduly, man.

I wipe everything too. Gotta get that shiny.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Calling a feature not in the rom a bug...lol

Tell me where to change that icon to text in this ROM and I will test!

Change lock screen wallpaper works for me.

Reinstalling apps when you have a system upgrade only takes a few extra minutes and guess it works because I am the one not having issues. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You have to understand that some mods like center clock might not operate correctly with the tablet mode initialized.

On the 2 other issues that you noted, how about a logcat? I'm not going to spend all day reflashing my phone to every rom so that I can debug them for each and every issue that you report...that would make this a job. If you pull a logcat, I can certainly try to fix it. I am in the process of testing my initial build of CNA 3.5.0 at the moment.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Meant to be a joke, of course.

Can't reproduce it. A reboot seems to have fixed it. And it's in Settings, System, Status Bar (Notification Bar?).

Reboot didn't fix that, though.

A fair point. However, it's not the time to reinstall the apps. Though, with a paid Titanium license, you can simply restore all your apps sans data in a fraction of the time. Same thing, without all the downloading and permissions accepting. The time I'm concerned with is the time to set them all up. Logging into services, changing to the black/night theme, setting everything just right. I'm both OCD and lazy, so I need it just right, but I'd rather work smarter than harder.

Yeah, kinda figured. Hence the joking.

I installed aLogcat and it shows nothing. Told it to clear the logs and tried to reproduce the problems. This is when I realized the signal text issue fixed itself. Tried to change the lock screen wallpaper again, saw that I had failed, so I told aLogcat to output the log... it outputted a text file with a single period. So... I guess that app is crap, or it doesn't like the ROM, or the stars aren't perfectly aligned or some such crap. But since the actual FC-causing bug seems to have sorted itself, I'm not gonna worry about the stuck wallpaper.

I don't know how you do it, man. But thanks for your work on these ROMs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Logcat apps don't work on JellyBean based ROMs unless moved to /system/app folder (and even then its no guarantee).

Another option, if doing a logcat on a computer isn't possible, is to use Terminal Emulator. You can use the same adb commands and save the output to a text file for Dev's to look at.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Don't seem to have that option.

Hard to have a conversation when up against OCD and Laziness! :silly:
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
You're in tablet mode. I'm guessing that's the reason.

Mine lists: Show clock, AM/PM style, Battery status style, Signal status style, Brightness control, and Show notification count.

Weird that yours is different. But your notification bar is different, too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
My boy Jlee with another good point!

If you need to know how to adb logcat from pc, go to my how tos thread and check out the OP...there are 2 how tos in there...one is for adb logcat
[Motorola Photon 4G] bamfart:
hello everyone, i have a question. i just rooted and unlocked the bootloader i was wondering if i can just install 2.0 with cwm 5.0.2.7-photon3? or do i need a different recovery or install a different rom and then this one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
that one is fine I was using that one before but jokers v3 is recommended
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
He is right. I second the recommendation that Joker's V3 recovery be used. I've never had it fail...and be sure...report error, show log, reboot recovery BEFORE FLASHING :)
