I knew it would do WiFi AP backup, but I did not know it would do the Google account. I have a license to Titanium Backup, so, awesome.

However, when I first flash a ROM, Titanium isn't even installed, and Android wouldn't let me use it even if it were (e.g. part of the ROM). I have to go through these steps before I can get into my app drawer etc. Unless there's a step I'm missing. I mean, from Situation A (I have my phone set up how I want, Titanium Backup is installed, I backup three times a week and after every install/update) to Situation C (I've just installed a custom ROM, and Android is asking for my Google account, over 3G. What's Step B?

Also...

Joker, is this something you can use?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
I hope Joker can use this service in the future to push OTA updates of his latest builds.

So far the ROM is working great. It feels almost as stable as CM9. I love the fact that I can disable hardware acceleration on a per app basis, however I am a bit disappointed that the Sprint Visual Voicemail is not listed under the hardware acceleration control list.

The battery life seems pretty bad, as if the phone is not properly calibrated. The battery discharges rapidly, usually in 5-6 hours of medium-light usage. It then remains at 1% for some time afterward. I also had some heat issues but changed the max overclock to 1ghz which seems to help. I've noticed that my ringtones sometimes disappear even though I've rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions. This rom can definitely hold up as a daily driver but I am worried about the disappearing ringtones, I am not sure if I can trust the alarm to wake me up in the morning.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
just played with the OTA updater. works pretty good. i think this would be a great addition. whether it comes from joker or someone else doing it! :P

only thing it won't do on the photon3 recovery is flash the file. sounds like it can easily be fixed though.

i have a question for gsm users.

do you see signals in statusbar?

and can you send sms?
[Motorola Photon 4G] karamathdr:
Yes I do have signal strength in status bar and I can send sms

jellybean popping on Cm10
[Motorola Photon 4G] misfitdeluxe:
I have signal in the status bar too and can send SMS, but at the moment I have switched to the built-in SMS app and it won't send messages that are longer than 160 characters. It also fails to send MMS messages. Works fine with GoSMS. I need to re-install GoSMS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
sms messages are a 160 characters max. the stock app used to have a splitting option for messages longer than that. it doesn't anymore though.

you need to add your APN's to get MMS to work in the stock app. directions on how to do it are a page or so back depending on your settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Only backs up data, cache, and system. Which is good enough for a backup. CWM backs up, boot and recovery img.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
The split SMS option was taken out when CyanogenMod started using builds based off of 4.0.4. All you have to do is grab the mms.apk from a build based off of 4.0.3 and it will have the option. A simple google search will suffice. And it works perfectly fine on JB. I would upload mine right now but i am at work so i cannot. I will try to remember when i get home.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Seems the system ring and notification tones disappear shortly after boot up. Ends up only showing silent and cyan ring/notification tone in the list. They randomly come back after exiting a few times. Once they disappear from the list they no longer work. It's all random.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
I actually just downloaded an apk with split emoji and others but its transparent
[Motorola Photon 4G] mxmarcus:
Same here. I taught in was doing something wrong.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
For those of you having the problem in which texts wont split themselves after 160 characters, this is the mms.apk from 4.0.3 that still has the option to split sms. Works fine for me on JB.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Just tell it you will sign in later and then go to your settings allow install from unknown source and install the APK of titanium backup(make a backup of the apk with TI or anyway you can end up with a .apk backup of titanium backup) then open the file manager install TI and restore all your stuff.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e1cadet13:
Finally made the jump to Jelly Bean. I absolutely love it. Even the battery life seems so much better than ICS. One thing I have noticed though: WIFI doesn't want to turn on. Not really a huge issue since I get good 3G coverage where I am. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.

Thanks Joker! Keep up the great work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
There is an option in Titanium Backup to make an "update.zip" of TiBackup so you can easily flash it. Unfortunately, for me at least, I've never had any luck with it flashing...but, you can find the zip file and extract it and there is an apk for TiBackup in there. Not sure if this is a Pro ONLY feature or not as I use the Pro version, but worth checking into.

I can easily send you the latest apk file of TB if you want as it'll only be the pro version if you've bought the key or donated via PayPal. Lemme know...

same here!

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

I had this problem on one of the CM9 builds for the longest time. It was only with one person in my contacts, though. I originally had their # in my phone without the area code, because the area code is the same as mine and normally you wouldn't need it. and it worked fine before flashing CM9. But with CM I guess you need the area codes. I edited the contact to put the area code in, and I'd be able to get 1 text out, then when they replied, and I attempted to reply back, I'd get that stupid error. Every damn time. I browsed a bunch of forums to go into the app manager and clear the history and app data of the dialer and message storage? I think? Either way, never worked for me. I haven't texted that person in a while so I'm not even sure if the problem is solved or not. But I know how you feel. I KNOW how damn frustrating it is. Luckily it wasn't someone I text on a regular basis. That **** drove me CRAZY! lol. I would google it. I'm sure you can find a few forums with some advice. Hope you have better luck than I did fixing it. Good luck! =]
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Auto working like a boss here
[Motorola Photon 4G] Galaxy_S_:
Thank you for the advice, guys. But nothing is working. Searchbar on my homescreen is just the regular old search bar. Nothing special. And I have reflashed gapps. Still nothing.

I found this article:

http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-setup-configure-and-use-google-now-98749/

it gives a few ways in that article to set it up, but none of them work for me. I don't even HAVE a google icon on my lockscreen at all. I'm not sure if CM10 JB is different from stock or not, but either way, I don't see anything about google now in my phone at all. Not through search bar, not in apps, settings, nothing. Anyone else having this problem or have any other ideas? =/
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Is that with a clean flash?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
If everything flashed correctly you should be able to go to lockscreen shortcuts and restore defaults. If you don't get the Google icon on your lock screen then jb didn't flash correctly and your still running ics

Check your about phone too
[Motorola Photon 4G] Galaxy_S_:
From CM9. But I finally got it working. Just had to flash gapps a 3rd time. lol. Someone mentioned reflash and that hadn't worked the 2nd time but I guess 3rd times the charm. haha

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

No I know I have JB for sure. Looked at the system info right after flashing just to make sure. I always do. And played around with the easter eggs and stuff so I know I have it. lol. But I did finally get it fixed. Just had to reflash gapps a 3rd time and I have "Now" now. =]

yes, im running GSM Version. its smooth than previouse ics.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
Is this JB related or should I be in the market for a new battery, or worse, phone? I was using my phone when it shutdown dead. Upon restart it went to the battery charge icon at 5% indicating a dead battery. Forced a boot and left the phone on the charger for under an hour, and now it is back at 100%.

This is the third or fourth time it has done this randomly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
:eek:

Talk about a power user.

Damn

I would recommend putting a full charge on there, wiping cache / dalvik and fixing permissions.

I've heard batt calibration isn't necessary in jb but I'm not 100% on that. Google around a bit. Maybe downloading a battery calibration app from the play store will help.

Good luck. :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
Charged her up, wiped cache, Dalvik, battery stats, and fix permissions. Worth trying, but I think Im looking at something hardware here.

[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Hey elibaba, you will have this issue if you are using Jokers CWM Recovery v4. Jelly Gapps will flash but really won't flash, I recommend you use Jokers CWM v3 until he fixes v4.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I had to re-do the edit for USB storages....borked first one. Realized when I tried to screenshot. I had the USB storages improperly unmounting, so they wern't available to the phone after....

[Motorola Photon 4G] elibaba:
Sorry for being so thick :silly:, but could you please remind how do I downgrade from CWM 5.0.2.8 to Joker's V3 recovery ?

Just flashing the zip via recovery does not seem to work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Just upgraded from cm9 (without wipe) and everything seems to be working great. Getting CDMA (sprint) data, wifi, mms, root, Google Now, etc. A few random app FC's here and there but nothing major. Great job Joker! It's running real smoothly. Got Apex installed with no issues as well.

All I did was make a nandroid backup, then flashed the latest CDMA CM10, then flashed jellygapps twice, then rebooted. Good to go.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Download the .zip from jokersax.com and then open it up... Look for the file, "recovery.img". Extract that img file and place it in your SDK folder, preferably your tools folder.

Boot your phone into "fastboot" mode by completely powering off your device. When it is powered off, hold the VOL down button first then hold the power button until you see; Unlocked Fastboot.

Plug in your phone and when it is plugged in, press the volume up button. It will start fastboot.

Open a command prompt, navigate to your tools folder.... In my case: C:\Android-SDK\tools.

Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img This will flash v3.

When complete, type in fastboot reboot... But hold down the VOL down button again before you press enter. Then navigate to Recovery, flash gapps, profit...

Good luck.

You can receive MMS?
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
In go-sms, I can receive mms. I have to physically hit the download button in the message (it doesn't automatically download the image) but hitting download successfully grabs the image.

Edit: I haven't tested whether or not I can download mms in the stock messaging app. Next time I get an mms I'll try it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
You probably can't. Gosms is the only way to receive but when u said MMS is working I thought you meant through stock that's why I asked lol

[Motorola Photon 4G] thabest85:
Anybody having issues with data it seems to work but takes forever to load anything or is this a sprint issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I've seen the APN address for Sprint. What is it for US Cellular? Anybody know?

Unfortunately, Contapps is not a viable replacement for the stock messaging app. I can confirm that it can't receive an MMS in JB (this ROM). I do not like GO apps. Are there viable alternatives? I looked at Handcent SMS and I don't think I want that either. If I contact the Contapps dev, what feature do I need to ask them to add? Manual APN configuration? Or is there a better, or more precise way to ask for what I want? Their Contacts app is pretty good, and I like the integrated text messaging. (The better solution might be to install Contapps on my wife's phone, and sign us up for their IM service, which works like iMessage -- go over 160 characters and it converts it to an IM, rather than an MMS. She's the only one who sends long texts as MMS; all other MMS I get are "send to all your friends" spam I could care less if I never see again.)

Might just be Sprint. US Cellular's 3G network performs about as expected. Good at one job, crap at home, and below average at my other job. What's amazing is that I get the best coverage at the job that is in the middle of nowhere, but that's US Cellular, nothing to do with this ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thabest85:
Thank you I figured out its sprinty data is working how it use to now no idea what happened maybe they were working on the towers or something thank you anyways for the quick response bro
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Likely story. Could have been a power outage or something, too.

Anyway, one thing I've noticed about this ROM is that it seems to chew through battery at the same rate when the screen is off (i.e. it won't sleep?). Th3Bill has a "Bluesleep fix" that he recommends Paranoid Android users flash after fixing permissions. Could this fix help CM10 users as well?

I'm at 14% right now, after 10h 30m on battery -- that's not terrible. This includes 37m 28s of calls and 51m of the screen being on. My phone has been idle for 9h 39m.

Apparently, according to Cell Standby, I've been without signal for 31% of the time.

Looking at Flipster, my Facebook client.... I know this is more of a general Android, and not specific to this ROM... but under "Use details" it says "Keep awake: 9h 7m 57s". Does that means it's been using resources for that long? I've only used it a few times, but it does have (push?) notifications.

//edit: Phone just turned itself off at 1%. After I made this post 2 hours ago, I rebooted to recovery, then cleared cache, davlik, and the battery stats. So I got about 12.5 hours on a beta (alpha?) of Jelly Bean. I consider that good. I've gotten 16-18 hours on ICS, but not every charge, average is 12-15. So JB can hit the lower end of that range. Not bad.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Galaxy_S_:
GO SMS and Handcent are the two best alternative sms replacement apps. They are the best you're going to get. I have used both. I used Handcent from the time Android was released (It's been one of the top rated Android apps since the beginning of Android), until about a year ago. And I've been using GoSMS for almost a year. They are both very similar as far as customization options, only difference is the extras GoSMS offers. So if you don't like either, you're basically SOL. lol

Wondering about the homescreen icons and widgets being small - it seems like they've been scaled down.

Am I missing where you can adjust icon and widget height somewhere in the rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
That's a launcher and/or rom theme thing and the option isn't there but you can download a Theme package for the launcher and/or cm9/10. I'm using Galaxy s3 and the icons are huge.

One thing I noticed that may or may not have been mentioned already is that ICS browser+ FCs for me and chrome won't load pages and eventually FCs.

Stock browser and firebox seem to work fine.

It's probably just a driver issue but I thought I would mention it. All four browsers worked for me on CM9.

Everything else is going really well!
[Motorola Photon 4G] rosenbs:
I read not to use Juice Defender from ICS and on, because ICS and JB have their own battery management and it causes issues with 3rd party apps, can anyone confirm this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] rajat12345:
Okay, then try draining the battery and then charge it full I've heard it helps
[Motorola Photon 4G] rosenbs:
Tried that too, I believe it might have to do with the KDDI modem, is there anyone here using the KDDI modem, if yes what kind of battery life are you getting?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....here is procedure.

1) Open voice dialer...say "open apns". See if anything is there. If yes, go to step 7 If no, go to step 2

2) Open Root Explorer or Root Browser.

3) Go to build.prop and find these lines

#ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120

#ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint

#ro.cdma.homesystem=64,65,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83

#ro.cdma.otaspnumschema=SELC,1,80,99

#persist.radio.cdma.min=0

4) remove the #'s off those lines only

5) Save and reboot

6) Open voice dialer and say "open apns". You should have APNs now (3 of em CDMA 0, CDMA 1, and USSC)

7) Tap on CDMA 1

8) Edit the line of apn type to say "mms,default,supl" (obviously without the quotations). Edit the lines of IPV4 to be IPV4/6

9) press menu and choose Save.

10) Make sure that the dot next to CDMA 1 is highlighted

11) reboot phone into recovery

12) Flash MMS fix

13) Wipe Cache

14) reboot back to phone

15) Go into settings, then to apps and wipe data on MMS.

That should do it...it works on CNA and AOKP at the moment...haven't had anyone test Paranoid yet...
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Open apns just gives me a noise, I'm guessing that it can't recognize what I'm saying? I have tried it multiple times with no luck.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
When you open Voice Dialer, and it says "Listening..." and then say "APNs" its going to beep at you.... but it should have an option there 'Open APNs'. Click that and then you'll be in the APN settings and can continue with Th3Bill's instructions...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
May need to wipe data from recovery....the fix works on new installs, so I am certain that might be all that is needed...
