Good job on the reply and great job on the roms you "give us".

Thanks

Edit: This build has been "Flawless" including video (using VC Illusion app). All themes working, no FC's. Tablet mode is fantastic.

Thanks again....

[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Why don't you go back to your galaxy s then? Duh. I'll take any one of these roms on my photon than any rom running on my sgs any day. Keep your "opinions" to yourself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
i tried to install again same problem with the phone force closes then hides in the task bar cant hang up. i cant tell if im in tablet mode or not lol i choose phone optimized mode is there a different place to change from tablet

edit yeah text is small must be tab mode why not make it install in phone mode ? anyways wheres the toggle or whatever for it thanks

also no 3g super weak signal im roaming and im in phone mode not tab and phone is the same f/c but runs in the background
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try optimizing the Contacts and Phone apks as 200dpi. There is an option in the settings to set certain apps independant of each other. Another way would be to go into the settings to the Apps setting and clear data on Phone, Contacts, and Contacts Provider then reboot :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
the 200 dpi fixed the phone thank you is there a tweak for the signal being weak never had trouble with spleefs with signal just curious what may have changed ? thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Is it possible to have the Phone mode status bar but the tablet mode on everything else? Tablet status bar just requires more clicks (touches) to toggle settings.

Thanks Th3Bill for your and Joker's work on these ROMs. I know we can never say it enough. I have nothing but respect for devs who work on custom ROMs. They do more for us than Motorola, Samsung, et al. And much more respect for devs who work on phones they don't own/use. You guys are the real heroes of the Android community.

If people want "Just Works" they should stick with stock on most devices. When you unlock and play with custom ROMs, you have to accept that things will be wonky. It's a package deal. You can ask and hope somebody else has had and then solved your problem and can help you, and you help others with problems you've solved, but sometimes Stuff Just Doesn't Work. It's all part of the deal. Personally I think it's worth it. I don't like Gingerbread and I don't want anything to do with it. Nothing in CM9 or PA is a deal breaker. For video, I have a digital camera with a 16GB SD card in it. I might have 4GB left on my phone after music? Even on stock I didn't think video recording on the Photon/Electrify was all that great to start with.

tl;dr: Kudos to the devs, haters can go back to stock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This entire rom can have apps set up individully for dpi :) There is a custom etting in the same menu as tab options where u can pick individual settings :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Unless I missed what you're referencing I have my APN's set the way the CM9 thread says to and it still doesn't work. MMS hasn't worked since I used CNA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you haven't done so, you need to do a full wipe

I test each and every build I do for the following:

1) Phone

2) SMS

3) MMS

4) Data

5) Camera

6) Music
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Thanks. Yeah, I knew that but all the options confuse me. Plus you have to (are advised to) reboot after each change except the apps and the status bar. I like the tablet status bar on the bottom, I just don't like how it acts. What I'd really like is the status bar on the bottom but in phone mode, with the clock in the middle. That's probably asking quite a bit; however, IIRC, PA 1.1 had the clock in the middle. And I seem to remember, but I don't recall where, a mod that let you put the status bar on the bottom. Oh well. It's cool how I have it. How's that? I don't really know, I did a bunch of experimentation, then hit the com.android.phone FCs (that was fun), did a bunch more stuff, and I think I got it sorted now. Paranoid's a mess -- and that's awesome. I just wish the dialer/phone app were a little more versatile (or locked out the door in phone mode; tablets don't have dialers).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah....tab dialer is pretty wonky looking...LMAO
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Ok!! There's my issue. For all these builds I've installed differently. When I came from GB I restored stock 198_6, factory reset, flash, flash again, then flash Gapps. From ghere going from build to build all I did was wipe cache and davlik cache, then flash and had no issues.

Should I start from 198_6 again so I know I have a working base or just wipe cache, davlik, and system then flash? I have a good CNA nandroid to restore to before I reflash as well.

I knew it had to be something I did as every build I have tried is just awesome. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
It looks like there's a 1.6 base now. I don't expect you to update any time soon, specially if you're on vacation but whenever you have the chance later on, it'd be awesome if you could update and also implement the gsm fix as well as add the additional libs you mentioned adding on Miui.

Just a small suggestion. I am in no way demanding or *****ing about it. *Bows* :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The 1.5 that I used is actually a 1.5b, which is the same build number for those 2 1.6 versons that are out :( I downloaded both to see if I could get something more up to date...
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Is there a way to adjust the dpi for just the lock screen? I really love the new jellybean lock screen but i can't get it to center while In tablet mode
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That I'm not sure...I know in the settings, you can set all sorts of things independantly. Might try in there. If not, gotta go into the lock screen zip and mess around with the manifest.xml
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
Sorry, I don't mean to be a pain but the fix didn't work for me =/. I tried a full wipe first since it's not aroma-based, then flashing it at same time, flashing it after boot, doing the build.prop edit, etc, and nothing worked.

Just in case, i tried using Joker's 0.3.1 base, then wiping cache and dalvik, and flashing paranoid and gsm fix, still no go.

I don't get why AOKP worked perfect for me the first try and Paranoid does not. I am using domestic GSM T-Mobile. I would stick with AOKP, but i love the tablet look of Paranoid more.

Edit: Flashed AOKP again just to test, and network connected fine from the get go, no need to edit anything. I also used the tweaked gsm options when flashing, would it be possible to make a zip to flash that alongside with Paranoid?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Ok it worked independently. Can't believe I forgot that lol.

Another issue I'm having is horrible battery life. I don't use wifi anymore and my phone will dropped from a full battery to the 14% mark in just a few hours with minor usage. Very unusual for any rom I've flashed. What advice can anyone share for this? Aokp build 40 had amazing battery life but I flashed this with a full wipe. I really love this rom but loved the battery life of aokp
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1.6 should be uploaded at some point tonight. It's running on my phone. I will say this. I am using CDMA. I cannot guarantee that GSM will be functional in the first release. I will need someone to test it and get me a logcat. If you are NOT good at doing logcats, please do NOT flash this if you're on GSM and post comments that it doesn't work. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The reason battery life sucks is that I forgot to put in the bluesleep fix. It will be a part of 1.6
[Motorola Photon 4G] jmrubel77:
Could this be the case for the last release of the aokp ROM too? My battery life has been terrible, but not bad enough to use a different ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Could you also include a link to the version of paranoid this is being ported from? Or to the original paranoid android.

In with the first post
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll be doing that once I've got more time. I'm on vacation right now. I'm getting the stink eye from the wife for even bothering updating my builds...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1.6 has been ported and is linked on Jokersax.com
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
So far, everything is running buttery smooth. Love this ROM..thanks for the update. If anything goes wrong, I'll be sure to post. Had a few force closes, but rebooted and everything seems okay now. :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Wow check out the github for paranoid!! They are doing a lot of jellybean merging. I bet soon paranoid may be one of the first nonaosp roms to be ported from jellybean.

Check it out here: https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Would we still be able to us cm9 as a base somehow even though they are merging the code with jellybean? Unless they fully utilize "peanuts butter"'s framework..

I know this may sound like a stupid question to some but I have seen ics roms ported using a gingerbread as a base and kernel. Just look at cm9 itself. Gingerbread is its base.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Quick question: When rebooting the phone, I get a FC regarding Paranoid Android OTA has stopped..what is that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
It says in the source of the port that the OTA was taken out with this update and a single FC may happen. It talks about downloading it ourself but idk what ota app/apk their talking about

Edit: sorry read that wrong. Apparently the source uses some kind of ota method for updating. Th3bill may have left some of its remnants behind.. lol idk
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Ahh I see..it's all good..it doesn't really bother me that much..just curious. How's it working out for you anyway? I friggin love this ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Freeze it with Ti
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
The update changed the dpi of everything but I kinda like the change. The keyboard is a lot smoother. That was my biggest issue with 1.5. Oh and I didn't get that ota fc... so idk.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
I do have one problem... I adjusted the lock screen time out on aokp and it somehow carried over to paranoid. Its annoying because I set it to like a minute and sometimes when I'm messing with lock screen settings I have to wait a full minute after I lock my phone to get to the lock screen.. is there any way of adjusting this without reflashing aokp or wiping my phone

Edit: ok... so I finally got that OTA error.. I've gotten it 3 times so far
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
So far everything seems great, I am loving this rom. I do get that android ota fc randomly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Thanks to bear... Using titanium to freeze it helped with the fc's
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Just wish I had a way of buying the app. Its only available for the paid version of the app
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Yea dpi is jacked up. I noticed they took out the "optimized settings" so you will have set individual dpi for every app it seems. Some themes are also borked. Reading through their thread aren't too many happy.

Sure do appreciate th3bill working on this though. Really like the tablet mode and fluidity of 1, 5, . .
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Take the apk out of the zip and reflash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Battery life is also sooo much better. Btw I flashed already. Don't feel like reflashing so could I just go to system/apps and delete the apk? Would that cause any stability issues?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Instead of deleting it just add .bak to it and reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Hey guys,

If you have Netflix, can you play any video? I get sound but no picture. The screen goes black. Th3Bill, would a logcat help with this, Youtube seems to work...so not sure here.

Thanks again for your hard work...lovin' this! :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Driver issue...been like that forever.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yeah, I guess I think Spleef's worked, but I could be wrong...I was gonna do a battery drain running a movie..it's all good. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This is due to the bluesleep fix :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Depends on what type of acceleration is being used. I have noticed that Netflix seems borked on most ICS builds so far :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Is there a bluesleep fix for 1, 5.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
Not complaining here, just noting that GSM service doesn't work in 1.6 as well. I attached a logcat to see if it'll be of some help. Are any other GSM users able to get it working?

I also flashed the gsmfix posted for 1.5 just to test it out, and I got stuck in the boot up screen. Again, not trying to complain, trying to be helpful if i can. It's just odd that both Joker's CM9 and AOKP work just fine with GSM, yet Paranoid does not despite using the same base.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
1.6 borked my phone had to restore :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
I been on this from 24 he's now and it has been pretty much flawless. I did have a camera fc though. Great rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Been running since the day 1.5 and 1.6 were released and its still running strong. I did go to cm10 for a bit but has way too many radio issues not just including the data issue. I've flashed back to this from cm10 3 times without a problem. 4th I had no choice but to spf back to stock and work my way back up because cm10 destroyed my service. Now I'm back on here from a fresh stock photon and it flashed and boot perfect like expected. So there's no reason this rom could be the cause of any issues any of you have or may have in the future (of current builds). Just keep this in mind. This is rom of a hard working dev and it shows. Thanks th3bill for such a smooth port
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Are you domestic GSM? If so, it does not work with ICS...you need to flash a separate radio first.

This also is set up for CDMA primary. if you are NON-domestic (US) GSM, use Root Explorer (or equivalent), go to the /system folder. Open build.prop and change the line:

ro.telephony.default_network=7

to

ro.telephony.default_network=0
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
op updated :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Is 1,6 now CM10 based?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No. Still cm9. When I ported this, cm10 still hadn't been released. I also want to wait a lil bit to jump into that to allow some of the bugs to be fully squashed
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Gonna try this out today, it's all d/l'd and ready to flash.

On a side note. Now that CM10 (Jeilybean based?) is out, I have heard that there is no Flash support. Anyone heard when it will have it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] neonjam:
Really great port, bill. I know its a bit late but thanks for picking this one up to continue development.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
1.6 seems alright here so far. Hasn't been great on battery, but I hear it takes a couple days to 'take' before it starts rocking. Flashed 1.6, Google apps, and the Bluesleep (?) fix. So that's done, it just hasn't shown improvement yet. I'm sure it will.

What, exactly, is Speech Recorder? Seems to be a trainer for some kind of voice command setup. It's asked me to recite strange foreign names and numbers. What exactly does it train?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Well back in the day when voice commands first started coming out for windows you had to read to it for it to better understand you. So if you used slang a lot or have a lisp then it would be difficult to use features like Google now or regular voice search. Usually the old windows program had you read weird words that you didn't use in everyday speech but it usually had several syllables and variations of sounds.

Could be wrong about this being the same thing... lol but sounds like it
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
OK, been running 1.6 for a day now. Very Nice. I have noticed a couple things.

I keep getting "Paranoid OTA" has stopped messages. I went into the settings and set it to never, so we'll see if that makes it go away. Didn't have that on 1.5. Doing anything in the advanced sub menu in system settings (says something about Nexus S) results in FC's.

I've also had a FC with settings, but am unable to reproduce it.

When I installed I couldn't find google quick search and I had a play store 492 error. I cleared the market cache and data, booted into recovery, fixed perms, and that seems to be gone. I pulled the quick search.API from another build and I have it back now, too.

On a side note the keyboard seems better in this build than 1.5. I used to have frequent typos, but that's much better now, too.

Also, I'm having issues setting my DPI up. It won't switch from tablet mode to phone mode on some things. Hey, what can I say, I can't read small print very well. My arms are too short, lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm going to have to look at the Nexus Settings thing. I ported this from the Nexus S (I plan to try to do source once my vacation is over, but that's not until second week in August...for now, I'm porting stuff 100%.

I always recommend re-installing gapps with each installation. If you did the fix perm, be sure to flash bluesleep fix, which will help with battery life. Fix Perm actually borks the fix for bluesleep.

OTA update was disabled on this build...mainly due to issues with it if I remember reading correctly.

On this one, they made it no longer really simple to set tablet...it's now all individualized. Nice thing about it is that you can individually set up each app's dpi (yes, it sucks and is time consuming, but will give you a really custom system).

Keyboard was something that if I remember right was another major point of change on this build...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
You have to reinstall Gapps after flashing 1.6 over 1.5; it seems to remove them. I was on weak 3G so I flashed, then restored the newer Gmail and ROM Manager over the ones from gapps-hybrid.zip. Seems to have worked okay.

Fixing permissions kills the bluesleep fix? Now I can't remember which step I followed first. Guess it wouldn't hurt to re-flash bluesleep just in case, eh?

Also: Manage USB icon is a black GTalk icon on a white background. Intentional? Doesn't seem to be. Not a problem, just weird.

Oh and been meaning to ask this for a while: What do I do with ROM Manager? I already have a recovery and it seems to work. I flash my apps manually. Is there any benefit to doing anything with this? Since root/unlock methods vary so much from device to device, and my Electrify is a "knock-off" (of the Photon 4G) I'm afraid it'll screw something up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Fixing permissions actually incorrectly sets permissions for the 3 files that cause bluesleep issues. No problem flashing the fix...all it does is set the permissions correctly for those 3 files :)

I'm not fully sure about that icon....I didn't notice it (I'm on MIUI right now..having some GPS fun....LOVE it when they "Optimize" something and completely bork it on my builds...LMAO).

Rom Manager...never really used it. I would imagine it's for OTA updates, but I prefer the "download the zip and flash it" That way you can check the MD5 and make sure you got a good download. I say if your method ain't broke, don't fix is ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
th3bill is there a battery fix for over sized batts in the works for paranoid ? thanks

tried cm9 it sticks at boot screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll be doing that tonight
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
I've notice a new item.

When I plug in the USB to the PC, the behavior is different than 1.5. I now get the gtalk icon on the task bar.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
Anyone else not getting Facebook notifications? Btw I am loving this rom .:)

[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Hats off to Th3Bill!! On day two of PA1.6, it took 14+ hours for the battery to hit 15% with higher than average usage. I would say I've been fairly moderate today, definitely been on it more than usual today.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
Wow that is nice. Do you have your CPU @ 1.3 or did you lower it? I too love this from but my battery isn't doing that good although I been on it constantly tinkering for 2 days.

Sent from my MB855 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try flashing bluesleep fix :) If you did any "fix permissions" in CWM after flashing 1.6, you will need to do that to properly fix bluesleep (CWM fix permissions borks fix)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Set @1.3. My first day I had to charge it twice, lol. Make nandroid, restore stock nandroid, factory reset, flash, flash again, etc. etc. By the time I finished all that I had to charge, then I ran it down tweaking. Usually takes a couple days to really break in a new ROM, but I likey already. :cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
did you have time to get the extended battery flash together ? thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
I have a question for anyone who can answer.

Are there any Pandora users here and does it work for you? It does not work for me, no audio, skips to the next track without any action from me
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:

OK, now you've done it........I'm jealous.

Guess I'll have to experiment and try to see why Pandora won't work for me anymore........ :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
It works
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
You could always try the one in the transparent widget thread. My regular Pandora wouldn't play on a cm9 build way back. But the transparent widget on would. Which makes no sense at all. I'll find the link for you .

Glad it worked for you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
i can't access stock browser's navigation/tabs bar. it's always disappearing. anybody know how to prevent this?

Ok. I found the problem. Quick controls preventing it. Disabling it solve the problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Do you think this ROM will become your daily driver?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I just reinstalled Pandora. Haven't used it in a few months. I've been mildly interested in using it again, but never had a motive to reinstall. I've just done so, and it works fine, I guess. I don't remember it taking this long (about 45 seconds?) to buffer up, but it's playing now.

I never did like how Pandora moves, and I'm considering nuking my radio stations and starting over. So, for those who use it... Do I thumbs-up songs I like and thumbs-down songs I don't like... or do I thumbs-up songs that fit the station I'm trying to make, and thumbs-down songs that don't, even if I like them? I'm trying to make stations with a certain feel, and I keep getting good music that is outside that theme. There's a new radio app that does what I'm looking for that I may check out (I forget the name) but for now this is okay, I guess.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
You know it has stabilized after 48 hours.

the camera is stable,video illusions is working.

The tablet mode layouts are freaking awesome.

The email client has my corporate email looking like outlook.

Also my phone signal,wifi,and Bluetooth are all working fine.

I use enhanced mms apk. so send/receive mms is working fine also.

Modifications are just unlimited, you can really delve into this Rom.

Oh and cm9 themes are out,with my personal favorite (epic blues}

I am pleasantly surprised,I think its got a shot!

screenie.....couldn't resist
