Joker,

If there is ever anything anyone can do to help, let us know. Many are eager to be of any assistance we can be. Either here or there.

We are behind you 100%.

Google Play Books is broken in all JB ROMs could be a lib issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
is this thing useful for development:
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Looks like Moto pushed out the official ICS build for the photon (again). Now it just says 'Further plans coming soon' instead of rollouts being in Q4. Likelihood of us getting official Moto drivers anytime soon is not looking good.

[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Th3bill, are you saying you are working with Jokersax to update cm10? Or is this another of your roms? Either way I'm in like Finn.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's Joker's repo with some fixes and patches I had to find on Git...built on my PC. LOL

Now that I have CM10, I plan to work on the other ROMs I do from source :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
I hereby nominate Th3Bill developer of the year. Ijs.

Edit: I also nominate jokersax11 for any and all of his contributions to the photon. His website which is my homepage BTW. His kernels, ROMs, advice, and pure dedication to perfection. He and Th3Bill are Both hereby nominated in the first annual photon developer of the year award. ... the reward? Groupies and donations ;) seriously though. Thank you both for all your tremendous and amazing work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hey....95% of credit is still due to Joker. This is largely his work. I had to fix a few things here and there, but it IS his repo he maintains, so be sure to still give him credit. I'm helping him out some with this,

By the way....the newest build is HERE

Initial Impressions....Phone, SMS, MMS, Data, Camera, APNs, Wifi, BT, Torch, all work...and the nicest thing...Transitional Stuttering seems to be a thing of the past.

I RECOMMEND A FULLY WIPE....This is due to the framework and lib changes being VERY large (due to length of time since last update). If you choose NOT to...that's your choice...

BUILD IS UP NOW
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
I 2nd it!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Lmao when I read FULLY. I heard Brian from half baked voice when the boob comes out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] niphoet:
The visuals seem very nice, but one problem I've had is that Superuser isn't installed. I installed it from the market but when I go into Titanium backup it hangs for a while trying to get root access but then it fails without Superuser every popping up. Anybody else having these issues?

EDIT: I updated the su binary (which strangely took it from 3.2 to 3.1.1), rebooted, and now I can get in to Titanium. Weird.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
Yes. I had that problem. You can fix it - just install Superuser from Google Play, then run SuperSU and install (update) code. Finally you can remove Superuser and SuperSU must work. Just it ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
On such issue...I'll reupload tonight. Till then...use workaround described above :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
this is pretty nice build! there's no jitter at all!!! WOOHOO!!

still needs a few fixes on some random things but this is real nice!!! :laugh:

Has anyone had success flashing the Titanium generated update.zip after flashing the latest? I have never been able to get that to work and I hate having to always redownload.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Nah, its never worked for me either. Personally, I just extract the apk and make my own flashable zip. I can send you a link if you'd like.

Also, another option would be to just extract the apk and manually install after flashing... but like I said, if you'd prefer the zip, lemme know :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] B-Real206:
So I would need to go back to stock in order to use it. Gotcha, thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] wolficus:
Or use cm7 which has all the drivers.

Or cm7.

This update is great Th3Bill!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
Was it reuploaded last night? Not rushing, take as long as you want but was just curious. I am lazy today after a rough week, too lazy to do any additional post-flash fixes. Hell, maybe too lazy to even flash. Still wondering though.. :)

BIG THANKS
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kubombelar:
when i boot it says unfortunately search has stopped....how do i correct that? and whats the best maximum and minimum processor speeds

that give good battery life?
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
Flashed the updated one that Th3Bill uploaded last night, and it works great. The stutter from the prior version was one reason for me not using it, but since that is now gone, it's great.

My only concern is that the radio seems to have a lesser signal on cm10 than on cm9. Has anyone else noticed this difference?

Edit: N/M
[Motorola Photon 4G] MailenJokerbell:
First I gotta say: thanks for the latest version, I have been running last month's version and I was going nuts with the spazzing graphics lol.

This one is so much much smoother, thanks!

Also, one question, does Google Now work with this?

Google Now opens and recognizes what I say but when it tries to search it up, it force closes.

I'm wondering if someone has working Google Now or if it's just me?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Updated Root Fix...

Ok peeps, I've updated the Root Fix zip. This should restore Superuser access for you peeps having issues. Also, I've updated the zip to include SuperSU (and it's latest SU binary) instead of the traditional Superuser app.

This is in a testing phase at the moment. I have personally flashed it and still have SU access so it should work for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: This will delete any previous install of ANY Superuser app installed to the /system/app folder. If you have downloaded ANY Superuser app from the Play Store, please uninstall it before flashing the zip attached below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If this works for you, than please lemme know! And hit the Thanks button :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Also, here is jokers latest Gapps (v3).

I'll be making a post with some of his latest files (Gapps, All Recovery's, 1.4 OC Kernel, etc...) later on today.

joker-jellygapps-v3.zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] hightech316:
I tried it and it did not work I took a look at the script and it wants to install busybox which I do not have can you please add busybox to the script I would but I do not have root it makes it

difficult

Thanks!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
The zip doesn't install busybox, it simply calls for it to mount /system. If you have this ROM installed, than you should have Busybox installed already. It gets done when flashing the ROM zip. You don't need to have the actual Busybox app from the Play Store because it will only overwrite the install that's already there.

But, I can see if I can make another zip that calls the mount points directly instead of Busybox to see if that makes a difference.
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Hm crap, I managed to format my sd-card by accident as well (stupid partition sdcard option with no warning in CWM). Can someone send me a link to download the latest gapps? Looks like joker's gapps page is down

Edit: nevermind I see Jleeblanch posted the link. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Azick:
Hey guys, is anybody have issues with unlock screen backlight ? When I push to volume buttons or power button, screen isn't turn on. Only bottom sense icons lights, but screen is black. How can I fix it ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
OK, here is another Root Fix zip that calls the mount points directly and not busybox.

Try this one out and lemme know if it works. Also, I know Th3Bill is updating his ROMs to fix su (if he hasn't already).

The same goes for this zip as before... if you're unsure, read back a couple posts...

Hopefully this works...

Hey man even I did the same mistake of partition sd card by mistake just yesterday and lost 16gb data:(....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You know guys, if that ever happens and you end up in the wrong menu in recovery, instead of just going thru it...pull your battery! It won't harm your device and won't partition anything! Then you can just simply reboot back into recovery and do your thing :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] CaliMark1:
I had the same problem with force closes with Google Search, to fix I just installed one of the many root app (system app) removers, removed Google Search, then rebooted. Then I was able to update Google Search from Market, when I ran search it went though the Google Now setup and I was back up and running with Google Now....

[Motorola Photon 4G] hk1388:
I'm getting an error every time I try to download the rom. It says:

I've tried multiple computers and browsers. I checked http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and it seems like it's not only me experiencing issues. Are there any mirrors I can use?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I'm assuming you haven't been keeping up with conversation...

Anyway, you can find the latest version of CM10 here by Th3Bill. Props still go to joker of course but Th3Bill built this version himself.

Also, make sure to choose version "b" :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] hk1388:
I tried reading the last couple of pages but I couldn't figure out what was going so I figured I would ask. Sorry for the laziness and thanks for the help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lol...it's all good, no worries :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] MailenJokerbell:
Thanks I will try that in a sec.

Also, dunno if this bug has been reported but my phone was stuck in a infinite state of scanning for connections.

I couldn't turn off wifi no matter what, not even with airplane mode.

I will see if it does it again since this time I have no idea when it started doing that or what triggered it.

Oh, one last thing, the GSM fix doesn't work for me, it still acts like it's CDMA-only (it can make calls but it shows only as roaming or with no signal bars at all).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
which gsm fix are you meaning?
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
Re: Bluetooth on th3bill's certain

I was able to successfully pair my headset, but when I attempt to use it,I am getting no sound from the Mic. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MailenJokerbell:
On the link with the latest build there was just one GSM fix, which I assume goes with the latest build for GSM users. Unless I was wrong...
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Confirming this. GSM Fix didn't work, which is provided in the following:

http://goo.im/devs/Th3Bill/CM10/Photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll look into it...but as I'm not a GSM user, I can't test or debug it directly
[Motorola Photon 4G] niphoet:
GSM fix works fine for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
I replaced libmoto_ril.so in that ZIP with one that was present in the stock ROM. My GSM is back, and working fine. But it broke CDMA, but I don't mind as I'm using it in GSM.

[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Now that's depressing. Goodbye NVIDIA and goodbye Motorola. Worse part is how they strung us all out this whole time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
This is disappointing but that is where Jokersax and Th3bill have kept us afloat this long. Though I thought there was an agreement they had too support the phone for at least 9 months after the release with android updates. Which means they have to give ice cream sandwich.

Doesn't it....
[Motorola Photon 4G] badgett:
They don't have to do anything but say F**k you customers. I will NEVER have another Moto ever again !!!!!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
The Photon is well over a year old.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
Their work is absolutely much appreciated and the time I've had with my phone would had sucked a lot longer if it hadn't of been for their amazing work. Nvidia is just beginning to talk about driver support and open source and my guess is Motorola doesn't feel the wait and work is profitable or necessary so they changed their mind on a few devices, Photon included. Plus with the Photon Q they are probably hoping people will buy the new version since we now can't get full ics. And the photon was released over a year ago. I'm due for an upgrade in April. lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Yes will over a year. Ice cream sandwich had been out will before than. So, they should at least give ics.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
True, ICS was released only 3 months after the photon. Hence, Motorola is on everybody's **** list. But with this most recent decision.... PECE!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] VideoSavant:
This Photon will be my last Motorola phone. Good phone, pissy support.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I know u guys are pissed. Not to be a **** but this isn't the place to discuss it. This is for dev of cm10.

Any feedback on that? I have another build ready now. I'll put it in aroma w choice of CDMA/gsm and up it tonight.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
I was going to be the **** but thought better of it. Go whine in the other fourteen threads with the other kids.

I have been running your version from a couple of days ago with no obvious issues. I'm having car home and unlock issues while in the car dock but I think it's something I did.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bully4x4:
The photon is still a good phone and much thanks to the developers. Frankly I am still going to keep the photon I just wanted some drivers for 4.0 so the camera worked a little better but even that isn't a big deal, hacked 3g is good enough for some video streaming. My next phone will probably be the new lg that's coming out in November and with Qualcomm making majority of the chips now it won't matter who you chose because let's face it we are all here because we love to hack our phones and as long as there is developers like th3bill, jokersax, and the rest of fantastic developers we have are around there is no reason to gripe over petty things like official updates.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Here here.... agreed 100000000000 times
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Seriously tho, there are like 100 threads in the General Section discussing this.

Besides, the way I look at it...my device has already seen ICS (CM9) and that has come and gone. Now I'm rocking (updated) to Jelly Bean (CM10) and and there has been numerous updates to that! Plus, we have nearly every major ROM available to try out!

So, with that said, why anyone is complaining is beyond me. Its almost like ya'll don't appreciate the hard work that jokersax and Th3Bill (and the other dev's of course) have put into bringing us awesome ROMs to use on a device that still has Gingerbread! Just saying ;)

CM10 is running awesome by the way! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
To expand on my thoughts on the lib issue:

1) When we bought this phone, GB was the standard. We all bought a GB phone knowingly. Seeing as GB is still being updated, they HAVE kept up with their obligations to maintain the device. If they had not updated GB for 6 months, I could understand people saying they didn't do what they should. Think about it...if you bought a Mustang GT that came with a 350HP engine, and 6 months later, a 400HP engine was the standard engine in the Mustang GT, would you actually expect Ford to replace the engine in your car? Even if they HAD updated to ICS....think about it....ICS is already OVER, so where would we be? Do you really think they would be working JB for us?

2) Most of you are upset because we won't be able to fully fix some things on aftermarket ROMs. You must understand that Motorola is NOT in business to support aftermarket work. They are under no obligation to fix my ROM.

If you want to know who to blame, look at your phone service Carrier. Had Sprint spent 10 dollars marketing all the great hardware on this device, it may have been still being sold today. As it stands, it barely lasted on the market for 9 months before it was no longer being sold. Once this phone went End of Life Cycle, Motorola had no real gain to continue spending time and resoures developing for it.

Just consider this...yes the things that are borked suck, but honestly, we have some awesome, highly functional JB roms.

By the way....CM10 9.29 just dropped
[Motorola Photon 4G] thegameksk:
Can anyone tell me what is broke in this version? I updated to CM 9 a few days ago and am having nothing but problems mainly alarm clock keeps force closing )stock and downloaded from market), all my ringtones are gone, cant download new ringtones because ringtone app force closes, and cant set alarms. Would I be able to set alarms with this and have decent use of cam?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Based on the last two days' experience with Th3Bill's latest version, everything seems to work. Still camera is slightly laggy and the video camera is very laggy but both work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Hmm... I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. And I'll say that here since I read about it first here. There's no real point (for me) to discuss it, they've made their decision and I'm actually okay with it. My next phone is a little less likely to be a Motorola, but I'm not writing them off. But US Cellular only has Electrify 2 now as their top Moto, and it's a joke. Meanwhile, they have the GS3 and are getting the Note 2. If it looks like this in 11 months, I would choose Note 3 or GS4 over Electrify 3. Motorola makes great hardware, but their best, right now, just doesn't stack up to Samsung.

Anyway... Bill, why don't you start a new thread for your CM10? It's made from source, you'd be justified. And it's nice to see the current version in the topic title. You can't edit Joker's post, and if he comes back, you can both develop it. More choice never hurt anybody. Lastly, at this point (you having developed a ROM from source, as opposed to porting -- which I've always given equal credit to), you really should apply for Recognized Developer. You basically already are in name only, but you deserve the recognition.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
RIght now, I'm maintaining it while Joker takes some time for himself. I'm woking on source versions of AOKP and CNA right now :)

I appreciate the vote of confidence...I will apply once the applications are back open.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Well if any of us could vote you in there. You can bet we are all being you.

Thank you for all the hard work you do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Obviously you'll just have to say when and you'll get all the nominations you need.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thegameksk:
When you say laggy are the cam and camcorder usable?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Camera...yes....best way to help lag is to when first opening it, open, exit, open, exit, open, exit, then use it

Camcorder records, but as soon as you start to move, it gets laggy...real bad
[Motorola Photon 4G] thegameksk:
Thank you. Do you know if it will be able to be fixed or a work around?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Unfortnuately ,we had been waiting for Moto to release ICS drivers, which we could use here....I'm sure you've seen that they changed their minds on that one now, so it may be quite difficult to do
[Motorola Photon 4G] GPhoenix:
How do we get Motorola to release the ICS drivers or have there been a collective effort already in place to petition Motorola to release not only Photon 4G but for others that were listed to be receiving the ICS update but now they have changed their minds?
