Is there any risk of replacing new system files with older ones when restoring Titanium Backups?
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Why would you want to do that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
There is if a chance, make sure you select only apps and their data when restoring.

JusTunBean Inverted JB Gapps+ Aroma 10/10 v3.0.1b - Quick-Flash 10/10 v3.0b

CodeNamed JellyBean MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Is there a way I can have some from both sets (regular and inverted)? I love most of them in black, but I personally think Google Now looks like crap in black. It uses the same grey font, which is hard to read on black, and it clashes with the background image. If they used white, or a very light grey, for the text, and a background that looked good with black (like some astronomy shots), it would be perfect, but since they just inverted the background, eh not so much. Black Gmail and black Market (not black market... I mean inverted... haha) are awesome, but I'm loving the new play store that keeps your place and lets you boot apps from My Apps, including every crap app you tried and vowed never to touch with a barge pole ever again. Looking at you, GO (anything).
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
To replace Google now I would just take the apk from the jb gapps and push it to the system/app folder. Or take it out of the inverted gapps zip and replace it with the "standard" one :beer:

that the same problem with me

if i just wipe all and flash the new cm10 4.1.2 the gsm not working and after flashing the gsm fix it also note working

but if u flash both the ROM and then the fix at one time without rebooting to ROM it will work but if u go to setting u will find the android version back to 4.1.1 which is not true and u can test it by one finger notification property it is actually 4.1.2

i find a solution u can flash a earlier version of cm10 and the the gsm fix at the same time then reboot

and then flash the newest version

the gsm should work and the android version in setting is 4.1.2 that worked for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
Just flashed Th3Bill's 10/10 rom and I am very impressed. Great job man. Had been running jokers 2nd to last one until now and so far so great. Haven't noticed any jitters/glitches in the UI at all, seems much smoother over all. My only big problem was I forgot I had 2 step verification on for my Google account so I had to hurry up and add a second phone line to get my code.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Agreed. I was hesitant to believe it, but the UI jitters are gone. Very well done. CM10 10/10 represents the best of Android 4.x at this point, I believe, at least as a base. I'm not sure which ROM ports are based on 4.1.2/10-10 yet. But I'm not sure I want it flavored. I have my own "coat of paint", if you will, I put on any ROM I use (including GB based). It's just a loadout of widgets I like, and icons all by MetroStation. Completely unified look.

Hey Bill, there's one ROM that lets you color the clock, battery, and signals, any hex color you want. Combine this with Nova's color theming option, and in my case, MetroStation, and we don't really need themes, we can just change all the colors. I mean, if I choose make a bunch of green icons, I can make my HD Widgets stuff green, but the status bar icons are all cyan. So I use cyan colors. And I don't mind, cyan looks good on black, but choices are awesome. Just an idea. Maybe not for CM10 but for one of the others.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
ROM toolbox pro allows you to customize status bar icons. Available in play store. Roms wise aokp and cna both have options for changing the color of status bar icons.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Holy crap, ROM Toolbox Pro looks awesome. I think I need to add that app to my toolkit. I'm installing the free version now. It doesn't say what the limitations are. Guess I'll find out. Thanks! Looks good, most of the features are disabled. Oh well, can't say I blame them, though a couple options might be nice. I'll be buying it anyway.

Only problem with ROM managers for me is, they go to look up ROMs for the Electrify and that doesn't work. It only sees the CM7 nightlies and an old (I'm guessing) version of MIUI, but I don't know where it's pulling them from. Heh. Oh well. That part I can do the old fashioned way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, AOKP is SOURCE built 4.1.2. I am working to have all my builds from source. Makes for a MUCH smoother User Experience. CNA is source built, but is still 4.1.1, as the dev on that project hasn't yet updated his Git....once he does, that will be source built 4.1.2. MIUI is ported 4.1.2. I have that built and uploaded in MIUIAndroid flavor. MIUI.us (one with Toolbox) will be uploaded later today or tomorrow morning (it's running on my phone, but work wifi no like my Goo.im, and I have plans tonight).

I have sources for Xenon and Paranoid Android (both 4.1.2) on my PC...just haven't built them yet. Hoping to do that over the next day or two.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CaliMark1:
Hey! Th3Bill, thanks for all your hard work, can you give us any update on the status of adding libs from that leaked Atrix 4G files? (I think I read it was pulled?) Reason I ask is because I think those libs will make it possible to get Chrome Browser working on our phones?

Thanks again...

I have a strange problem that when i open the kickstand all sounds goes away and don't come back until reboot the phone

Other than that the 10/10 build is very stable an smooth thank bill
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I have that same issue, all sounds go away once the kickstand has been opened.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
I don't have this issue, tested twice just now. I'm on 10/10 build too.

EDIT: Yes, except ringtones and notification tones, all sounds goes away. I tested only with ringtones/notification tones before. Confirming this bug.
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Liking the latest builds a lot! Keep up the good work th3bill

The only thing that's not great for me is the battery life...
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
Try lowering the processor to 1000 or use set CPU to ur own profile

and i also flashed .pimp my ROM tweaks . I think i made a different
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Ah ya I had set it down to 1000 but forgot to set it back down after I wiped last time. I also just lowered the exchange sync frequency
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Thanks for the clarifications, Bill. Your work on our phones is appreciated.

What's the difference between MIUI.us and MIUI.Android?

So many choices, and I don't really understand the difference between all of them. I mean, I know Paranoid has the phablet thing, and AOKP has unicorns, and CNA (as well as the others) has different options. But once I buy ROM Toolbox Pro, I think I'll have the features I want, except maybe Centered Clock, I guess I need to change ROMs for that. CNA was my favorite before I went back to GB for a couple weeks. Paranoid was my favorite flavor of CM9 but the phablet novelty has worn off (just my opinion). Now stability+battery life are most important to me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
In my extras section on Goo.im, download the bluesleep fix. It looks like for some reason on CM, we're having bluesleep issues. I used fix in AOKP and am getting a TON better life on it

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

MIUI.us has the Toolbox with tweakable settings. MIUI.us also has wifi tether working (same edits, yet MIUIAndroid isn't)

MIUIAndroid is a more vanilla build.

Both are really cool
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Thanks! I was at first put off by MIUI because it seemed like orange on white everywhere (although, if both colors could be customized, that would be awesome) but I've seen some screenshots that make it look more like the other ROMs. Honestly I use my own launcher (well, Nova Prime) and my own icons (MetroStation, I match to the color of the battery/signal icons) so a lot of ROM's visual choices get overridden anyway.

I will put MIUI.us on my list of ROMs to check out. Forgot about the Bluesleep fix. I've only been getting 8-9 hours tops in CM10 10-10, but mostly 5-7 hours.

Anyone else having an issue with the navigation/system TTS voice? I'm unable to set Google TTS as default although Now works fine.

Hey fool, your website is down.

Sincerely,

An angry mob of pigeons wanting to flash your rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Hey Crispy. Long time no see. Joker is MIA. We get our ROMs from http://goo.im now, look under devs, then Th3Bill. Joker's CM10 is a month or two out of date; Bill updated on the 10th. Scroll/transition jitters are mostly gone, and we're up to Android 4.1.2 now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Thanks! I'll check that out and let you know if it helps. I'm seeing a bit better battery life after moving the processor down to 1000 and the exchange sync down to every 5 or 10 minutes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
Also been seeing some mediocre battery life on the latest, I flashed the bluesleep fix and will keep an eye to see if it is any improved.
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Better!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
ROMs are such an odd thing really. Seems a lot have been seeing mediocre battery life with this latest while I have had very good battery life so far these last 2-3 days.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Ok, I'm a bit baffled by this one so bear with me:

Was running cybik's CM7 on this Photon of mine, no issues noted, everything works as expected, battery life is "fine" considering I need to get a new one but I have zero issues with the T-Mobile service I recently started in with (this Photon is obviously rooted, unlocked, and using the KDDI radio without any issues whatsoever).

Decided to give Th3Bill's 10/10 a shot, did the backup of my CM7 install, did the full wipe (data/cache/system/Dalvik/battery stats), flashed the ROM twice, flashed joker's v3 gapps twice then booted it up and... I'm getting stuck with the phone activation thing.

I flashed the GSM fix (figured that's what it was for), and... still nothing. I've got the radio on, getting the bar + R signal, and of course after every reboot it'll try and do the activation thing. Now I just did a search through this thread and I see mention of this in several posts, but there hasn't been or doesn't seem to be any concrete 100% working solution to this, so before I go "flash crazy" and start flashing stock then CM9 then CM10 all over again I'd like to at least propose the question and see if anyone has a direct solution that may not have been offered up or shared yet.

Aside from that, it is pretty damned smooth and snappy, that's for sure, but it shows 4.1.1 as the Android version, I'm guessing that there will be a 4.1.2 update here at some point... but it would be nice to get the actual phone working. The *#*#DATA#*# info shows HSPA for the Network type (because my T-Mobile SIM is inserted), the radio is set for GSM auto (PRL), but it says "Roaming like a boss" under the current Network, etc.

Bleh.

/me does get sick of experimentation and testing sometimes... ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
you should flash the rom and the gsm fix all at the same time without rebooting into the rom that worked for me, wipe and reflash

the gsm will work without asking for activation
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
battery life

So, just wanted to share a little battery life info. The phone was just sitting idle after I unplugged it, obviously gmail syncing, a 2 hour pull from my Exchange account, and that is about it.

There seem to be a certain level of wakelocks coming from Maps, but it doesn't seem to be draining too much, relatively. However, 4% an hour in idle usage still seems a bit high to me. Any thoughts?
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
seems about the same as mine. except when i turn the data off. i turn the data off when i'm not using it and i'm at 32 hours. with data on. i get 8-10 hours maybe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
I'll give that a shot here in a bit and report back, thanks for the tip.

Update:

That did it, so thanks again. Full wipe, double flash of the ROM, gapps, GSM fix, everything works save for the video recording bug. I am getting random popups that say:

and haven't figured it out just yet, I think it's related to the CM stats reporting but not 100% sure on that.

So far so good, however.
[Motorola Photon 4G] likearaptor:
I agree that 4% an hour is a little high, on the stock rom I could get the phone to drain as little as 1.4%, average around 2% with minimal usage. That is using gmail sync and exchange sync (no delay). But for running our phones with drivers that are not 100% from motorola is causing us the most drain.. On Ice cream sandwich or any custom build that was not Gingerbread the best I could get was 2.57% drain an hour but usually the lowest is around 3%. Hopefully we can get more leaked drivers to get things running better
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Th3Bill:

If you catch this, will you be able to do an update to 4.1.2 for this ROM anytime soon? I know the AOKP one seems to be getting more "press" these days, with the 10/17 update you just did today, but I do find myself preferring straight CM ROMs, always have.

Just wanted to ask if there'll be an update over the last 10/10 build.

Thanks...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
CM10 10/10 is on Android 4.1.2. Source (imgur link)
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Well that's a bit odd 'cause mine shows 4.1.1, guess I'm gonna have to redo this with a full wipe and see just what I've pooched in the past few days. ;)

Update:

Ok, now I know something is funny or I'm missing something. I go to Th3Bill's Goo.im site here:

http://goo.im/devs/Th3Bill/CM10/Photon

and I see the cm-10-20121010-UNOFFICIAL-sunfire.zip listed (149.54MB, MD5 matches what I had installed and I still have that archive on the microSD card, never erased it). I did a backup and then a full wipe, double flashed that build, double flashed the GSM fix, and rebooted and I'm still getting 4.1.1 but it's a totally different one from 9/26 so...

Exactly where is that 10/10 build that you're using, Dark Reality, 'cause I can't find it myself. :D

It's pretty obvious I'm a bit behind on the builds but, I'm getting it directly from Th3Bill's Goo.im page and apparently that's not the lastest CM10 for the Photon as Dark's picture clearly shows. I see back in post #1317 Th3Bill makes mention of that build you're apparently running but I can't actually locate the archive to download.

tl;dr version: what appears to be on the Goo.im site right now is not the latest build which I'm trying to acquire myself, so if someone can point me to it I'd appreciate it.

ps

Will do a factory reset back to pure 2.3.4 stock and start completely over again and see how things work out. I think somewhere the "full wipe" thing isn't actually doing a full wipe and leaving something laying around, will find out. The 10/10 on Th3Bill's Goo.im site most likely IS the latest since some info matches: the kernel version/build time/date match so, we'll see what happens. Guess I'm just borking this Photon so, a fresh clean start will hopefully set things right.

I also did note the sound dies when the kickstand comes out and a reboot is required, however, not sure if there was or is a fix for that, I don't use the kickstand all that much but I did test it and the sound just goes kaput.
[Motorola Photon 4G] topherrjames:
The 10-10 build is 4.1.2 for me, so I'm not sure what's wrong with yours. I think you might still have the correct update, just for some reason the version is wrong, so I wouldn't stress about it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Well as the pic shows, it's not reporting the Cyanogenmod version correctly, the build itself is completely different, and the build date is also different (9/26) so no, I don't think it's 4.1.2 - it's just odd how that whole thing worked out so this full stock reflash/etc should get me situated here in a few.

Just one of those odd things, I suppose.

Wow... 200 posts, only took me what, 4 years, geez. :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
I'm sure you've flashed the GSM Fix, because the GSM Fix is what screws up the version details.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Really? Interesting, I hadn't seen mention of that anywhere, maybe I missed it or something, damn. Oh well, already in progress of flashing the build again so, not much I can do about it now. Thanks for the info.

/me lays all the blame on Motorola, of course...
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Yup. That's the culprit. The GSM Fix contains build.prop intended for CNA. Someone had posted a GSM Fix Tweaked ZIP here which according to him doesn't do this, if it is flashed right after flashing ROM (without rebooting).

Here's the post which has ZIP attached.

Ok, found that "tweaked" GSM fix, it makes it look like AOKP so, guess I'll just leave it the hell alone for the time being, it works and I'm sick of mucking around with it since it shows 4.1.2 now as it should.

Cool, thanks Th3Bill. I'm one of the people having GSM problems. That being said, can I do a dirty flash (cache, dalvik) or should I do a full wipe?

Dirty should be just fine. It's the same Android version....:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Can't wait to flash this.

Can CM10 better support the HD dock? Or is that a drivers issue? Because I just got the dock, and... it's pretty much the best thing ever. Only, when I hook it up to my TV, I get overscan (edges cut off). I could have sworn I saw an overscan setting... but I've flashed so many ROMs I don't even know where it was. Might have been CM7, or stock even, I used both recently enough. When I hook it up to my monitor, which is where I think I'll leave it, it only occupies the lower-left 960x540 (of my 1920x1080 screen). I guess it's more optimal than stretching, but I'd like the option (or center it maybe).

Also: If any of you have the chance to lay your hands on the HD dock... do it. Wired USB keyboard? Just Works. Wireless mouse? Just Works. Portable 500GB USB-powered hard drive? No-go unfortunately (looked everywhere in \mnt and \storage) but the dock does power it so maybe on a stock ROM? Wired Xbox 360 controller? Powers it but the controller isn't happy (lights just flash). Flash drive DOES work... it's in mnt\usbdisk_1.3 (something like that). The thing is a total game changer. I might have to take my SD card out and just keep it in a USB adapter, so I can quickly move it between phone (via the dock) and computer.

Sorry for the hijack. This thing is awesome...

I was on Bill's AOKP Milestone 6 build. I just downloaded the Joker's GAPPS and ROM for CM10 from jokersax. Flashed the ROM twice. It sort of went fast the 1st time. So I was unsure and flashed it again saying "oh!! what the heck". Then flashed gapps. Rebooted phone. Tada.. I have working data, working wifi, working BT and working GPS. The switching between data and wifi is slick. Depending on my movement the data keeps switching between 3g, HSDPA and Edge. However I am in India. I don't know if this can be something to do with American carriers and this rom specific per-say.

My Superuser does not work though. Any steps on fixing that would be appreciated. I was unable to calibrate battery because of that. I tried to tinker around a bit to fix it however I think its out of my know how.
