[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Nope. It's not the rom that's the problem, its having that rom use a non stock kernel. To keep 4g, you would have to use a psuedorom that doesnt mess with the kernel. The only one still in development is MOF's 2.3.5ish rom.

But yes, the Photon is an amazing phone. Without a doubt the best I've ever had. And ICS is supposed to officially drop soon so that means our Jelly Bean and ICS roms will be working flawlessly. The only risk you run in ordering a Photon is that it might already have 2.3.5 on it. If this is the case, you wont be able to unlock thus unable to install any custom roms. If you do choose to get it, order it from ebay or something and make sure to ask the seller to verify it still has 2.3.4 on it by going into About Phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] silverhawknike:
alright thanks for clarification
[Motorola Photon 4G] karamathdr:
Great choice for you as you can have a very good phone at a affordable price. I am on Cm10 on my photon it's fantastic can give any 2012 phone a value for money competition
[Motorola Photon 4G] silverhawknike:
Found MotoPho with Android 2.3.4 on ebay for $160. Perfect! Will be buying on Tues night :)

Is CM10 is stable now (like very useful for daily driving)?
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
What a steal
[Motorola Photon 4G] karamathdr:
Cm10 is very stable. It has been my daily driver for past two days absolutely no issues except minor niggles already mentioned(white screen in camera but still takes beautiful pictures, camcorder not working etc)

jellybean popping on Cm10
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Considering it was released last week it's stable as hell. Obviously it'll take a bit to work out the kinks. Sending/receiving mms messages is messed up for some people, camera is a bit laggy, camcorder doesnt work, noticeable twitching in general due to the lack of 2d libs, overheats slightly, and some are reporting iffy battery life. But the exact same problems exist on our CM9 and that has been out for many months. Basically, it's about as stable as its gonna get without the proper pieces we need from Motorola. Considering they said the Atrix's official ICS build is coming in Q3 and our Photon is nearly the exact same phone, I would say we'll have the pieces we need by the end of August or mid September. Guess we will see. Congrats on getting such a good price!

Need help finding ROM with Vanilla launcher

Just brought Motorola Photon 4G on ebay and it will come on Sat or Mon! I also told him not to update it haha.

Meanwhile, i want a stable vanilla rom and this rom is close as vanilla rom. Can I flash that rom ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1224896 Or any roms that have vanilla launcher. Not a big fan of ADW launcher btw.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Yeah you should be able to flash that, but it is kind of outdated. If you want to use cm7 you don't have to use adw launcher. Just download a different one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] silverhawknike:
Hmm, i can do that. What abt CM9 for MotoPho?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Alien is quite dated. No one has worked on that since last year. Technically, CyanogenMod is vanilla android with extra customization options. Blows AOSP out of the water and is clean as a whistle. CM7.2(gingerbread), CM9(ICS), CM10(JB) -- take your pick! Id start out with 7.2 as everything works flawlessly. Once you are familiar with everything and are willing to deal with a few bugs but still stable builds, try CM9 or 10.

I just had to post this. It's about how to change the lockscreen apps. I have been searching for something like this ever since i got mine HOX and to night i finaly found this article.

Link to it

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/04/18/change-lock-screen-apps-htc-sense-4/

Please don't kill me if there are already a post about it. I have been trying to find something like this for month.

Note from me:

I my self are using the Apex launcher therefor I didn't find out of the connection mentioned in the article. But however, i find it realy usefull when i can have different apps in the launcher and the lockscreen. Thought I think HTC could have made this kinda' setting in a better way ;)
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
Not trying to be funny like but.. that's pretty much common sense :rolleyes: and probably one of the reason's you could not find a thread/tutorial for it,

glad ye discovered it anyways :)...
[HTC One X] sopidos:
Ok... It might be obvious, but I didn't realise the connection. I was searching for a setting like in CM9.

However, now i'm happy :)
[HTC One X] HebeGuess:

Cause previously i had saw on sense devices but not own it myself.

I NEED to know IF i flashed with official HC 3.2(or any ROM else) the streak will come back in locked state again and ask me for the unlock number(that don't have it??)

this my Q is the unlock method one time job or u need to do it every time u re flash or change baseband??

[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
No idea of that build.
[Dell Streak 7] osama123:
Yes it's old build

yes me too it's may be based on ASUS ROM because the legal right from asustech and it's full with asus tools. :confused:

I still need to know what will happen to the "unlocked streak" when flashed with HC 3.2 from dell. :fingers-crossed:
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
You need to flash with a dell streak 7 rom. No wonder why you are having issues.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I have no idea what he's talking about, but flashing roms can never change the lock status of the modem. (At least for most devices, including dell devides)
[Dell Streak 7] osama123:
yes i know i take it at it is

yes i need to flash with a dell streak 7 rom but will i need activation code after that?

it's my first android device and i will read like hell all your posts but first think first

we don't have a single wifi hot spot.

thank you.
[Dell Streak 7] osama123:
thank you very much

1 - we don't have wifi hotspot here

2 - sim is the only way to connect to internet

3 - we don't have unlocked devices her ( new for me )

now lets start ROMing .

Wow. All I have to say is this device is EXACTLY what I wanted. Small in form factor, great feel for the hands and a pure, pure Android experience.. and a great price too!

​

After flashing Jelly Bean to my device I quickly discovered the problem which many non-US members have been talking about, it was impossible to use Google Now to it's full potential without changing the system language to English (US). I thought that there had to be some simple solution to this problem, so I searched around here on xda for any mod that fixed this, but there wasn't any success. So, after some simple smali editing I now present to you

Google Now with independant locale

This mod allows you to continue using Google Now as you're used to, but without having to compromise with your own language of choice - Whether it be Spanish, French, Swedish or any other language that is supported as of Jelly Bean. The only thing that is required is replacing the old Google Now apk with the new one.

Disclaimer

-

You

are responsible for anything that could potentially harm your device by using this app. If you are worried, make a Nandroid.

- I can't guarantee that this will mod will work on your device/configuration. If it doesn't, please provide a logcat so I attempt to fix the problem.

Download link below the screenshot

Screenshot showing Google Now in Swedish

Installation Instructions

(Requires Jelly Bean or above)

1. Download the file from

dl.dropbox.com/u/22829424/Velvet.apk

(unclickable because of insufficient post count)

2. Remount /system with read/write permissions

3. Copy the apk to /system/app/Velvet.apk

IMPORTANT - If Velvet.apk does not already exist in /system/app/ it could be having another name. If GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk is there, replace that file instead.

4. Remount /system with read-only permissions again

5. Install the apk as you would the normal way (Users on the Swedish forum I originally posted this on found this to be required)

If you want to perform step 2 - 4 using adb, these are the commands to use

adb remount
adb push Velvet.apk /system/app/Velvet.apk
adb remount

Thanks! Will put this link in the OP and cred you as soon as I can post links there :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sletmo:
Have you tried setting the TTS language to English (US)? There could be some sort of error I made when modifying the apk that only allows that language.
[Android Apps and Games] nono71:
even putting the language of the TTS language of English (U.S.) that does not work I have never in my voice that responds
[Android Apps and Games] Sletmo:
Could you try pulling a logcat from your device after you've received an answer from Google Now and link a pastebin here? There could be something useful there
[Android Apps and Games] nono71:
what do you mean I do not understand
[Android Apps and Games] Sletmo:
Well, if you download this tool I saw on the portal the other day

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747544

Then use your mobile device and go to Google Now, enter/ask a question that you know for sure will result in a voice response (try "where is the closest mcdonalds"). When you see the response on the screen, use the tool you previously downloaded and get the log from your device.

Once the log is saved, upload it to pastebin.com and post a link to your pastebin here :)
[Android Apps and Games] hey_malik:
Works fine for me on my nexus s i9023 in Germany on the brainmaster ROM.

Although I am a little confused about the mix of language settings.

The app seems to be in german, but I selected English (US) for the search.

So I have to ask questions in english and get answers in german. Though I thought the whole app would be in english.

So..before I try this..im simply asking.

If my phone system is in german:

If I ask a question in english...what language will it answer?

If I ask a question in German..Which language will it answer?

What im trying to do. is have my system language stay in german.

But be able to talk and get answers in my phone in english?
[Android Apps and Games] D-m-x:
Im German too, this works like you want it too. I have my System Language set to German and I ask Google Now Questions in English. The Output Language is also English. If you ask a Question in German it simply won't be understood.

2. So if I have my phone on Dutch, will this mean that I can speak dutch to it and it talks back in dutch? So what does the location independency mean?
[Android Apps and Games] amelsfort:
Could anyone please share the XPosed module? The ROM containing the modules is down.
[Android Apps and Games] pkadavid:
The MoreLocale2 app doesn't work, or maybe it's not doing what I'm expecting. Here is my situation:

- I'm in the US.

- I want the system language to be German

- I want Google Now to be in English

So far, all of these things are possible with the standard Android settings. However, what I don't get with these settings is the full features of Google Now. Unless I switch my system language to English, I won't see certain cards like the new suggested research or even sports cards. I just tried it, and with the system language set to English, I see all of the cards (even if Google Now is set to German). It is all based on the system language.

I tried the MoreLocale2 app with sys language set to German and country set to US. All of the extra cards (like sports) disappeared. I cleared cache and dalvik cache for good measure but to no avail.

I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this. I'm on stock and rooted 4.3 and have the newest version of the Google Search app installed.

Try the command "Find me a pizzeria around" on it.

Unless you are a true American that shouldn't be working for ya (simply going for web search instead of pop up card with maps of Pizza places)..

You can also try "Listen to <name of a song>" and see if it play or search..

Or if you really wanna get the prove, say "What song is this" and it will say "Not supported in this country".. and then you will say "@$%#$!!!@#$"

In my case it fails both :(

I can set alarm but no play music..

I wish I could get it back some how.. it seems like the internet people has stopped caring about this since ~August..
[Android Apps and Games] adam_99:
None of them working...
[Android Apps and Games] soder:
I use SE (Sweden) as locale, but US (English) as language. Find me a pizzeria, showed me a card with maps, and the voice told me where to get it. Listen to.. didn't play me any music, not from Spotify, and not from Google Music. But, I know that "Listen to... " has been working before, long before Google Now..

/Söder
[Android Apps and Games] mcjordan92:
The playing operation with voice is the whole big issue for me, thats mainly the reason why I search so hard for a solution..

In mean while I tried "Assistant" Utter!", "Skyve", "AIVC" and some other chinese crap..

All of them do functional and got few cool stuffs.. Unfortunately none of them is smooth or easy or any close to fast as the Google..
[Android Apps and Games] soder:
Well, the problem is that I WANT to keep my phone in english, even though I live in Sweden. I think the main reason with this thread is to be able to keep the phone is Swedish, but get Google Now to be in english and then work.

I use Xposed Installer and App Settings to set my Maps in Swedish, even though I keep the phone in english. You may try the same with Google Now.

/Söder
[Android Apps and Games] mcjordan92:
I do exactly the same just in Hebrew instead.

Maps integrated to my locale but whole system is English (parts of settings I putted Hebrew too)..

Google now by default in English and I also forced it to be an absolute English with Apps settings.. both cases fail..

Theres a new update came out yesterday for Google now with hot word for "Okay Google" command from locked screen.. BUT only for US..

Also, can this version simply be installed as a user-app. I never flash this stuff onto system. No enough room.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Another idea here: Implement this mod as an Xposed module. This will solve (at least for now) the upgrade problem. Change applied at run-time rather than hard-coded.

In fact, the AppSettings Xposed module has a per-app locale settting. Could be tried but Google Search may still need special treatment (thanks, Google).

I tried that, did all the replacing in Root Browser of ROM Toolbox, but the only effect was that my home button no longer called homescreen(pressing it wasn't doing anything, but holding it did call Recent apps), and "Okay Google" stopped working at all. :/ Glad i made a backup in TWRP beforehand, but i was suspicious from the beginning- Google Search apk was about 19 MB and Velvet is 4,5.

Any idea what I may have done wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] cellabonez:
Mine works without those functionality but because the new Google search was optimised for kitkat the old one like this would have these functionality
