Bill great rom ,as always..Everythings running great.... When I flashed It I didn't have any aroma installer and had to flash the su root fix... Did I miss something ??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I don't understand why people are having issues with root. I flashed the rom just as it is, and have had no problems with root so far...odd

I didn't put into Aroma just yet. Wanted to get the building source running right, then add in things that are extra

Which fix did you use? Can you get me a link to it so that I can compare it to what I have?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Before flashing go into /system Edit build.prop Change line ro.telephony.default.network=4 (change 4 to 0) THEN Flash :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Wow man, thanks. You are the best! Donation coming your way this afternoon! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I borked first Dual USB mount....it was tying up the USB storages after you disconnected USB cable, making it so that the storages were not available to the phone. Just re-did it and it's working now. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Perfect, if I did a Nandroid backup of my current Rom... And for some reason, the Rom doesn't like me... Can I restore it and will it reduce performance?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you restore the nandroid, it should perform exactly like the rom did before you backed it up
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I dediced not to do a backup... I have been getting the error "Unfortunately, com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly." It's annoying the piss out of me. Also, do I need to have a Rom on my Photon 4G in order for the KDDI radio to be flashed successfully? Or can I wipe system and all that and still flash it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It was after the edit of the build.prop? Did you do the *#*#4636#*#* Phone Info to make sure it's set to GSM?

I'm not sure about the KDDI radio, though....never got into flashing custom radio....too nervous about that...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
nothing happens when i plug my phone into my pc now
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
No I haven't flashed CNA yet. I am still on CM9 by Jokersax. But then all the errors I get, not worth doing a nandroid... I keep flashing new roms daily anyway. LOL.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LMAO!

I've been on JB builds the last 4 weeks...before that I ran the MIUI builds I do for 5 months....
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
It's true though. :D LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Reflashed the ROM but I still see only only one ringtone option :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Occasionally I have this issue. Very weird, I know.

Anyway, try just rebooting. Don't wipe /cache or /dalvik, just simply choose reboot from the Power Menu. After it boots back up, check ringtones again... if still not there, try again. That's all it usually takes for me. :cool:

To be really honest tho, there is something odd going on with how the system reads the "media storage" locations. Some times its fine, some times its not. Some times I have all the ringtones, some times not. Some times I can take mad screen shots, and some times not! Some times my photos/images show in Gallery, some times they don't lol. What's strange tho, is it usually will be one way or the other until I reboot (with or without wiping /cache, etc..) and then the opposite afterwards...until the next reboot. Seems a little temperamental some times lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
^^ Rebooted many times but hasn't helped so far. And you are right about the media bit, the stock gallery app does not recognise pictures.But I also use quikpic for viewing pics and that is able to recall the pics on my internal storage :D

Will do a full wipe and clean install next update Th3Bill provides us :) that should do the trick hopefully.

My soft keys (back, home, settings, search)aren't illuminating up, anyone else having the same issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've noticed this as well. I think it's in the kernel. I noticed the other day that when I had my phone plugged into my PC, I had NO downloaded apps, yet as soon as I disconnected, they returned. I'm going to look into how the storages are mounted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I will be flashing this Rom on Monday. I ordered a Straight Talk Sim card so I am ready to try it out. But I do have to say, I never had any issues with the soft keys when I flashed this before the USB fix was released. Thanks Th3Bill. :D

download link

am i blind or is there download link i could not find it on jokersax
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Couple questions and forgive me if any of this already covered. I flashed this rom yesterday and love the look and feel but I ran across some issues and was wondering if I self inflected them or not.

First up background: On Electrify 2.3.5 unlocked (shipped 2.3.5), came from cm7.2, flashed using twrp, did a full system, data, etc. Wipe.

My issues: lag when opening apps to where I have to hit home and reopen to work. Opera doesn't work, just black screen. Screen scrolling issues, not fluid.

Are this issues others are having or did I do something wrong? If I did something wrong please let me know how to correct this issue.

Thanks,

:eek:

It seems you misunderstood or didn't read everything I wrote. Where did you see me asking for instructions? :confused:

You may not be trying to be a jerk, but by shouting GOOGLE SEARCH at me you are being a jerk. I doubt that a GOOGLE SEARCH is going to help me find what is working or not, or what features set a ROM apart from the rest. Especially when it is a BRAND NEW POST, Th3Bill! How about you do some careful reading before jumping down your fan's throats?

Take all the time you need with your family. I understand that

YOU ARE DONATING YOUR TIME

and

I APPRECIATE THAT

as I already said in the post you're responding to.

A brief run down would have sufficed. So far all I know is that this ROM looks better, it has better battery life than any of the other JB releases, and that this is your daily driver (just read that tonight in another thread.) Well you use it, so it's gotta be good!

I will just go ahead and flash it and see for myself. Not going to wait for a description anymore.

Thank you, sir.

This is what i used to fix root...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Those are the same files in the rom. I think that I need to re-look at the Options Chooser....it looks like something in there is messing with root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Yes, I flashed the newest update. Forgot to flash options, didn't even notice until I tried to send a text and my contacts were missing.

So I flashed options, lost root, for contacts and Google back. Fixed root with Jbleeanch root fix.

My Google now and you tube was broken. Along with everything else. Recovery with Fix permissions.

Removed Google search and you tube.

Reinstalled by options, picking Google apps individually. Chose only velvet and you tube. Nothing else.

Rebooted

Lost root.

Flash fix. Access supersu. Allow out to download. All good. You tube no velvet. Hmmmmmmm
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
It's definitely the options chooser. I flashed the rom, then options, and when I rebooted I had no su binary. So I flashed the rom again, then just flashed jelly apps. When I rebooted everything worked fine.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I haven't a clue how the su binary would get deleted by the options chooser...it doesn't have anything in there to delete anything. Which version were you using?

EDIT: When ou say you had no su binary...was tha looking IN the system/xbin folder? Or was that just what Superuser app was saying?
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
in my case it was the app, didnt look in xbin
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
If it was my post you're referring to, the previous build of CM10 didn't have root for a clean flash (those who dirty flashed it over the previous build kept root, however). If it was me, I said nothing about CNA. ;)

As for battery life, my best battery life in JB ROMs came from an earlier build of CNA. Since Th3Bill apparently got rid of the transition jitters (haven't seen firsthand, not saying he didn't, just that I have yet to experience this) that may have improved things for all affected ROMs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just re-did rom to ensure that SU is fully functional.

I just finished Options Chooser 3. It's not a lot different, but it DOESN'T kill root on this CNA. I have just personally tested Root Tester, Root Explorer, Root Browser, and TiBu. If you have issues with SU, then you did something wrong once these are reuploaded :D

Both will be up in about 30 minutes :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Both the new build and the Options Chooser are up and good to go :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] kashis32:
Hey sorry but I have looked and can't find as I think I'm frustrated:(. Lost maps and get an error message when it tries install. Please help and sorry to bother you guys. This ROM rocks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thegameksk:
I cant flash JB. After I select my options I it says set_perm: some changes failed and a next button pops up. When I hit it a screen pops up saying configurations option choose has been installed and it gives me installer status 7 and tells me to reboot. When I do it just stays at the CM9 loading screen but the background is moving. It just stayed at this screen. I let it sit for 20 minutes and it didnt advance. When I pull the battery the same thing happens. I am coming from Jokers CM 9. I wiped 3 times, wiped dev, and set permissions before install. How can I get this working?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Are you sure it stayed at the CM9 loading screen?

You gave me quite a scare. I got set_perm: some changes failed and Status 7 as well, but I got the Nexus boot animation and it booted up, actually faster than any first-boot I've experienced.

Going through the options, I went into Display, then Wallpapers, and clicked "Codename wallpapers". Turned the phone off, and it won't turn back on. Once I'm back up and running, if Terminal Emulator is installed I'll get you a logcat; if not, I'll get it installed and reproduce the problem, then get you a logcat. Sometimes I really hate having an Otterbox Defender. ...Oh wait, it just cut back on. Haha.

Gapps completely failed to install from Options (v3). No Gmail, no Play Store, no YouTube. Options also failed to install Nova, Play Music... and either it installed Joker's 1.3 kernel, or the ROM did. But I'm leaning toward the possibility that Options v3 didn't do a thing.

Root works though! But I bet you knew that already. ;)

One thing I notice with these ROMs... Every time I start Titanium after a fresh (clean) ROM install... it says the Android ID doesn't match, and that I can keep my new ID, or restore the old one with a reboot, and the old ID will help Android DRM, if I understand correctly. I always restore. The ID is a long hex number. Mean anything to ya? Should I maybe keep the new?

Can I flash Joker's jelly apps? Or should I wait for Options to be fixed. Or maybe I did something wrong? Flashed wipe all, flashed CNA 3.6.6, flashed Options v3, booted to ROM, came here to report the status 7 and error.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What file are you guys getting set perm failed on? I've tested both of these files (CNA rom AND Options Chooser). I personally flashed last night. THERE ARE ONLY 2 ways you could get a set_perm failed that I can see:

1) If you are choosing that you're flashing MIUI or Paranoid Android at the beginning of the first Options Chooser screen. Since this is CNA, it doesn't have the files that PA or MIUI have.

2) If you flashed the SU fix that was listed earlier, that is NOT NECESARY now, and WILL cause that set_perm issue as well, as the Superuser app in that one is named SuperSU.apk, and the one that I have permissions set for in Options Chooser is Superuser.apk (it's SuperSU just renamed). It WILL have ROOT. You don't need that SU fix.

The PROPER procedure for flashing the rom

1) Flash CNA

2) Flash Options Chooser

NO OTHER STEPS NEEDED

EDIT: Found the issue. I didn't test the EMMC/SD changes. Will re-up in a few
[Motorola Photon 4G] thegameksk:
What is the CNA file and where can I get it from? All I flashed yesterday was the Options build. Didnt know I had to flash CNA before.

Edit: I found it. I thought we just had to install options build and are good to go. Didnt realize you had to install both files.

edit 2: It works fine but I have no contacts app after installing both. I didnt see a contacts option in the option installer. Also which launcher do you guys like the best?

Im having a problem with ringtones and notification sounds , they disappear after a while , and i think i has something to do with the media storage , cause i open up the walkman app and it fc's on me , after it does that , i go to the sound options and there only like 3 notifications sounds , and i have to be rebooting every once in a while to get things back going good

Other than that , awesome job on this rom :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Bill, I can't figure out how NOT to get the set_perm issue. I'm not flashing CNA though, I'm flashing JB 10-10. Still... I don't tick MIUI or Paranoid, I either tick the third option (no specific) or none of them. EMMC or SD Card. Doesn't matter. I still get the set_perm thing and code 7.

And as usual, the Gapps and alternate launchers don't install.

Maybe it's that simple on Photon, but on Electrify, it's not. The touch screen is really weird. Sometimes touching something makes it want to scroll, or do something else. Like in the Gapps chooser, it's like a video game. If I choose something, it might unselect something else. So it's a sort of puzzle to end up with all the ones I want checked and the ones I don't, not.

Will the Joker's jellyapps file work for the latest JB ROMs?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you re-download the options chooser? Also, which recovery are you using? That could make a difference. I had a fix permission on the vold.fstab originally, but removed it. Give it another download and let me know. If not, Joker V3 should work...or even EPinter's :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
TWRP actually... For all the flashing I do (nothing on the flashing you must do, though) it saves so much time, and works for most stuff.

I went ahead and flashed Joker's Gapps... all seems to be good now, and I just got Nova the old fashioned way.

Oh, and I was using Options v3, the latest one on your Goo.im page.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Let me ask you....did you choose the option to report the error in TWRP? If you don't clear errors in CWM, they will repeat. I've noticed that a few times with other builds in the past. Other than that, I'm stumped..LOL

Glad you got the build at least to work :D

I believe 10/15 is the latest. 3.66 v2 is the latest I have, and I downloaded it before 10/15. But if you go to Bill's Goo.im page, you can see the upload dates. That should be the final authority on which ROM is newer.

So what is the difference b/t the Unofficial 3.6.6 and the more recent cna_sunfire-ota-eng.20121015. Just want to make sure I get the right one.

Also, coming from 3.6.0, can I just flash over existing or should I wipe and install fresh? And if I must wipe, can I use ROM Toolbox Pro to back up every app and its data (including system) then restore it after without weird things happening? When I'm flashing roms I get annoyed with having to redo all the lauchers' settings and prefences. I use 3 different launchers back and forth. I know I am not doing it efficiently.

3.6.6 is still on Android 4.1.1

20121015 is on Android 4.1.2

I would full wipe between those 2 (3.6.0 and 20121015), as 3.6.0 was still when I was PORTING the ROM. I started building from source on 3.6.6
